    • we stayed in the top apartment from Dec. 21 2008-January 19th 2009, (One Month). The neighbors were terrific. The views were excellent and we really felt part of a community and not some tourists just passing through. Aside from all the things to do in Rincon, it made an excellent base from which to discover other areas of the island in day trips. I have recommended it highly to all of my family and friends. I do not have one single complaint. In fact I wish that I was there right now!

    • My college Spanish-studying daughter and I spent 3 grand days at this property and found it perfect for our needs. The home is lovely and situated in a special section of Rincon. Out the back is a stunning cinemascope view of the ocean framed by similar hills where you are standing. Out the front of the house is an authentic Puerto Rican neighborhood with warm and lovely people that give you your space but will engage your heart by their smiles and offers to assist you should you need it. I travel quite a bit and often stay in hotels. Staying at this location immersed us into the beautiful culture of Rincon and afforded us extra funds to experience the town, the beaches, the rain forests. etc. more fully. I highly recommend staying here and longer than 3 days if you can.

    • We stayed 4 days at Walter's place and it suited us perfectly with plenty of room. All your basic needs are covered. We used it as our base for exploring and photographing the beautiful areas in and around Rincon. The people in the immediate area of the apartment are natives and very friendly. Security was never an issue. The view from the balcony is fantastic and sunrise is really special! We will return next year.

    • What a beautiful place! Spanning the length of a split-level home perched on the side of a mountain, the balcony offers a breathtaking view of the lush terrain beneath you which leads down to the sea. The lower apartment is spacious and bright, with the ultimate travel luxury - a private bath in the master suite. Rincon is small and interesting enough to spend an evening strolling along the town center. Friendly residents help visitors experience local flavor. Walter made my first vrbo experience pleasant and easy. Thanks for everything!

    • We spent our first trip to PR here, in the top apartment of the house, the last two weeks in July. It is a pleasant home with plenty of cross ventilation, ceiling fans, and spectacular views. You can experience the real Puerto Rico here, as it's in a small neighborhood, not surrounded by other tourists. We were sung to sleep by the coquis each night and greeted by the roosters, horses, cows, and goats as they awoke each morning. The first night, we realized how much of nature's beautiful music we normally miss by being continually surrounded by air conditioning. Because this apartment is on the top of a mountain, the temperatures in the evening were cool enough that a light cover was necessary, but warm enough that no heat is required. Many of the interior decorations were made by the owner, a professional artist, who used local plant life as his canvas. We fell in love with them. After the first couple of days, the neighborhood residents were greeting us with smiles, waves, and offers of fruit and vegetables from their gardens. We felt truly welcomed.

    • My wife and I stayed at this scenic mountain top apartment in Feb. of 08 It’s exactly 15 minutes to STEPS beach, and only about 8 minutes to a closer beach down the road. The Supermarket is down the road, and so are many restaurants. We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony, enjoying the view and the sounds of the wildlife. There are lots of rooms in the apartment, even more than the two of us needed. We had a driveway for our car and all we needed to enjoy a week in Rincon. We have stayed at a few locations in Rincon over the years, but we will return to Walter’s Mountain top apartment the next time we return. Have fun!

    • I stayed in Walter's apartment in late March of 2008. I was traveling to Puerto Rico to go on a surf trip. He was very easy and nice to deal with, and the apartment was very spacious. No need to even use the air conditioners as it was always a comfortable temperature inside even during the hot afternoons. It's located on a dead end road in a local neighborhood, perched on the side of a valley. Great views, and you can see the ocean from the apartment!
