  My wife and I have been to Puerto Rico 4 times. This stay was by far our best! Allison went above and beyond to make sure our 1 year old daughter had everything she needed. This is a perfect spot for small children with the tide pools out front, easy access to the beach, and just in general a beautiful setting! Great snorkeling out front, SUPing and surfing. Close to Rincon's other beaches as well. We loved our stay! They have everything from snorkels to beach chairs to umbrella's full kitchen, etc. We will be staying here again for sure! Wish we could be there right now! Thanks Allison for making our stay perfect!

  My husband, 2 children (teens) and I had a wonderful time at this property. The property is right on the beach, with excellent snorkeling right in front of the house. To get in to the water for snorkeling or swimming it is necessary to walk 5 min down the beach, but it's well worth it if you like to play in the waves or snorkel. We saw schools of colorful fish and got quite close to a sea turtle! The house has everything you could want, and there are restaurants and smoothy stands in walking distance. We definitely hope to come back!

  Just returned from 8 wonderful days staying at R House @ Tres Palmas. The house is perfect, the rooms are larger than they appear in the photos, and very comfortable. There were 4 women and it fit us perfectly. The porch and yard are beautiful, and the beach is literally at the back of the yard, just steps away. The ocean lulls you to sleep at night, and is heard from either bedroom since they are both on the back (beach side) of the house. The place is fully stocked with anything you might need (other than food of course). The owners live upstairs and are very unobtrusive, but always helpful if you need them. We loved it so much we have booked again for next year! Perfect location, walking distance to almost everything.

  It is rare to travel and feel as though you are luckier than the people who actually live there because your rental is so fantastic: It was impossible not to feel that way here. The rental is right on an amazing beach with sand and little pools for the kids. Great snorkeling and surfing is right out the door and a lovely hammock is on the back deck. All gear that you could possibly desire (including beach towels, umbrella, toys, snorkeling gear, surf boards, and a boogie board) are available. There's even fresh mint in the backyard for homemade mojitos. This really was our home away from home and the separate bedrooms were perfect for our family and both were right on the beach. Our stay happened to overlap with Ali and Leon's vacation, so we didn't get to meet them, but she always answered the phone when we had a question and was incredibly helpful. Loved it so much...worth every penny.

  My girlfriend, her mom and myself stayed here in april of '12. We rented a car and drove from san juan. Ali was very helpful and provided us with great directions, included what to do when arriving in case they were out at the time. The place is right on the beach and the grounds are immaculate. There was only three of us but i would imagine that it sleeps many more pretty comfortably. Everything you could possible need is provided. The rooms are spacious, bathroom is great and kitchen has it all. Our expectation were more than surpassed, then we met snickers. Snickers is a sweet, low riding dog that will meet you each morning for breakfast or stroll with you down the beach. Its like having a family pet on vacations. Being right on the ocean we caught the sun set every night and walked the beach every morning picking up the sea glass. It is nice and quiet so its almost like you have the whole beach to yourselves. The house is in a great location. It is in between steps beach and the marina. There is good snorkeling out front but beware of sea urchins. It is just a short drive to grocery stores and the town center, so if you have a car it is easy to get around. There are bar/restaurants/surf spots within walking distance but plenty more just a short drive away if you have a car. The owners are extremely helpful and were awesome if you needed recommendations/directions/anything in general but at the same time if you want privacy, you would never even know they were there. It is so nice having all the beach chairs/towels/snorkeling equipment/umbrella/surf and boogie boards/etc etc etc. They provide so much stuff it is ridiculous. If you showed up with just a swim suit and nothing else you would still have a great vacation. Anyway, there are plenty of restaurants/bars in the general area so there is plenty to do. We always felt safe even when walking back late night after the bars. I would definitely return and would recommend to anyone interested in staying here. We had a great vacation and this place had a lot to do with it. Thanks so much

  My husband and I along with our two adult children had a wonderful vacation. The location couldn't have been better. A quiet neighborhood, ocean front and in walking distance to good restaurants. We walked to "Shipwreck" twice and both times had great service as well as a great meal. We snorkeled out our back door and surfed just a short distance down the beach almost every day. Allison and Leon were the perfect easygoing hosts, as well as our frequent house guest Miss SnickerDoodle (their sweet dog). The property was clean and well maintained and we were lucky enough to break in the brand new kitchen. I would recommend this home to anyone. There is so much to see and do, so make sure you rent a car.

  I went to Rincon with 2 friends and we stayed at "R" house for 5 days. It was amazing. The sound of the ocean as you go to sleep and all day long. Beautiful beach right in the backyward with great snorkling. Ali and Leon are awesome and provide lots of tips and advice about the area. Perfect location and a clean, comfortable house. The pictures describe it perfectly and don't even do justice to the views! Can't wait to go back!

  The most beatiful beach we saw in Puerto Rico. The house is perfectly located at the beach, just have to walk from the garden directly into the beach, under the branches of a beatiful tree. Snorkeling just in front of the house you can enjoy an incredible coral reef with sea turtles among other things. The house is very nice and confortable, clean and with anything you may need, as well as the garden, with a big mango tree. The published photos accurately correspond with the property. The owner lives upstairs so is easily reachable for anything you would need. After going around the island we finaly agree that Rincon, nearby places and the house itself and particularly the Tres Palmas and Step Beach were the best places to stay and enjoy.

  What a great property and an excellent location! Plenty of great snorkeling along the coastline. The owners were very helpful and a joy to work with. The property was as described. We already miss the sounds, smells, and the location!

  this was my second stay at Ali and Leon's wonderful home. It is such a beautiful setting. I love having the kitchen. I love hearing the sounds of the waves when falling asleep, and waking up , walking out the back door and you are on your own piece of paradise. The snorkeling on Tres Palmas is amazing with the colorfish and the brain and elkhorn corrals. My kids had a wonderful time, being introduced to snorkeling and scuba for the first time. Will definately come back, I didn't want to leave.
