Beach House - Casa Palmas - Rincon, Puerto Rico

Year Purchased: 2004

Why the Owner Chose Rincon

We have always loved the Ensenada area of Rincon because it's the perfect spot to be close to all the best surf breaks on the West/Southside or Carribean Sea side of the Point. The nicest local people you will ever meet. A quiet, family neighborhood, plus walking distance to great restaurants, the dive shop and even town. Our side of the Point tends to be less windy than the Northside, yet always offers a nice breeze.

The Unique Benefits at this Beach House features 2 Villas

The Tres Palmas Marine Reserve is right out in front of the house! This protected area off of Steps Beach offers fabulous snorkeling! See endangered turtles, sometimes dolphin and whale sightings.

Owner's Map of Rincon

We have been coming to Rincon to surf & vacation since 1977. After exploring locales from the Bahamas to Europe & Hawaii to Australia, nowhere do we feel so relaxed & at home as in Rincon. Having grown up on & around the ocean & raising our family on Cape Cod, we cherish every moment we spend in this magical place. We hope you can come discover & enjoy as well!

    • We just got back from a week stay at Casa Palmas. First time in Rincon and we loved it and the house was perfect for us. We rented the downstairs apartment and it was great. I thought we'd be missing out by not getting the upstairs apartment and view (it was rented), but that wasn't the case. Downstairs was great too, so if you can't get the upstairs place, don't look further. Being downstairs worked out well for our toddler too, so we preferred it in the end. The place was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Short walk to beautiful beaches and some good restaurants. The beaches within walking distance (from 2-5 minutes depending) were a good variety, from wavy to calm (near the marina)to snorkling beach so it was great for finding good spots for all of us. And a very quick drive to get to other beaches. The nearest beach had great shade too for those who burn easily, and little pools that formed in the afternoon, great for kids. From what we could tell, it seemed like one of the nicest areas to stay in Rincon, and Casa Palmas was perfect and a very good value. We'd definitely stay there again.

    • Wow! What we had wanted and more.... We spent 8 short nights and wished we had stayed longer. We rented both up and down due to the size of our group (10). Plenty of space for all. We had group dinners on the upstairs patio every night, very pleasant with the overhead fan. Safe neighborhood, super short walk to the beach (really. Bring your snorkel gear)Take a 1 1/2 hour drive to the Camuy Caves well worth it-you'll pass a waterfall along the way.So much fun in PR-we'll return for the waves in the winter.P.S. I am picky and found the house to be great!

    • We came in June, so if you want a nice quiet place, this was clean nice and close to the ocean. We enjoyed the diving and the local people. The lack of air conditioning was no problem, lots of fans and nice breezes.

    • We stayed at Casa Palmas in April and had a great time. The weather was perfect and we did lots of snorkling just off the beach. It's a great location (near Domes and Maria's for surfing) in a nice neighborhood. We could walk to several restaurants and to Taino Dive Center. Someday we hope to go back.

    • Myself and two buddies stayed at Casa Palmas upstairs for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving. We fully enjoyed the location, large veranda, nice towels and a great kitchen to move in without bumping into one another. Playa Ensenada is the place! The Road to Happiness. Leezur

    • We had a great time at Casa Palmas. The house is very comfortable, nicely decorated and the kitchen has everything we needed. I especially loved the outside shower with the Palm tree & hibiscus paintings. Snorkeling was perfect at Steps Beach until the BIG waves came rolling in. Next time I would like to go horseback riding. It was fun watching the horses go by the house. I'd also like to stay upstairs & use the top deck. Rincon is awesome.

    • My husband, my sister and I stayed upstairs at Casa Palmas the first week of March and are looking forward to returning next year. What a wonderful kitchen -- good knives, even a garlic press. How excellent to have a large veranda! We already knew we liked Rincon, but staying at Casa Palmas made it perfect. We loved it all ...

    • Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa Palmas. Our daughter and her husband especially enjoyed horseback riding and snorkling. The accommodations were comfortable and the outdoor shower is great! Next time, we would like the upstairs with the balcony so we could have a chance to see whales!

    • We loved Casa Palmas! This retreat nestled in the heart of Rincon is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Just a short walk from the beach, this place was perfect for me and my family. It is clean, comfortable and above all beautiful... The sunsets were amazing from the roof deck and meals on the airy veranda couldn't have been nicer. The beach is great and the water is amazing. I've never seen such big waves. We loved our time there and can't wait to return. We'll already planning our next vacation there!

    • Casa Palmas is always the first place I look to stay when I go to Rincon. Having traveled there numerous times, clean accomodations and convenience are number one priorities for me. It is a short walk to Steps Beach, and less than a five minute drive to any restaurant in town. The balcony is an awesome place to hang out after a long day, and the outdoor shower is great. If your looking for a private apartment to stay in Rincon, Casa Palmas is the place!
