Wonderful beach bungalow!

The house was exactly as described with a perfect location with short walk to beach. Comfy bedrooms with little balcony overlooking sunset and sea were great. Patio area was a nice place to relax and cook out on the grill. Hosts were easy to communicate with and professional. Great stay and wonderful home base in Puntas.

Great little house

This was a great little house with a serene outdoor space. Our hosts Ryan and Erika were very helpful with suggestions for local beaches and restaurants and responsive to all our needs. Since we prepared many of our meals we were very happy with the plates, dishes, pots and pans, cutlery, and sharp knives in the kitchen. The only thing missing was a dish drainer and basic condiments like salt and pepper. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the view of the ocean from those second floor rooms. The access to the upstairs is via a ladder with broad steps and sturdy railings, but we are all seniors and hauling the suitcases up and down them was a bit of a challenge. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in Rincon at the Rustic Retreat.

Beach cottage

Ryan and Erica were very kind and accommodating with allowing us early check in. The house was very clean and lovely. This is our second visit and we can’t wait to wake up to the ocean view again. We couldn’t imagine this visit being as good as our last years stay but we were overwhelmed with joy once again. Thank you Ryan and Erica :)

Treadmill in the living room

I love the location. The people. The beach. The property manger were extremely helpful. It would be been perfect if there wasn’t a giant treadmill in the middle of the living room. If it is not ok to be I be pictures is probably not ok to leave an unusable treadmill in the living room and rent to your guest.

Rincón, me encanta!

Simply perfect. Tasteful design. Completely clean and well equipped. Fantastic views and beautiful jet tub on lovely patio surrounded by lush, tropical plants. Private yet close walking distance to beach and coffee shops, great corner bar, surf shop, local owned pizza truck. We had a time to remember and can’t wait to go back to this incredible rustic retreat! Big thanks to Erica, Ryan and boys. We totally love Rincon and your charming, unique, funky beach cottage made our visit a dream come true!

Amazing spot

Loved the rustic retreat and Rincón. Very short walk to the beach but a very steep hill is good to know. Loved the outdoor space and tub but watch out for fire ants. Ryan and Erica were super cool and helped whenever needed. I would come back here a million times. Comfy beds. Great kitchen. Ac worked great. Lovely view. Amazing location.

Great and Quiet House!!

We arrived to the destination and parked in the driveway. We finally went to the door and opened it. Once inside we put our bags down and did an inspection. The house is built amazingly. There are no cracks for little bugs to come in, etc. The furniture is nice and comfortable. The kitchen is useable and packed with silverware. The two bedrooms have two AC’s that are powerful and strong and cool the entire house down. There were towels in the bathroom and beach towels downstairs on a table. The house was fully equipped. The house is secluded in a nice environment and quiet. I would 10/10 come again! Thank you Ryan and Erica!

Relaxing retreat for family getaway!

A comfy and relaxing retreat to get away from it all, soak up the island vibes, and bond with the family (kids ages 11 and 8)! We loved hanging out on the patio in the mornings or after a day at the beach. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony. Great location and close to everything! The owners were very accommodating and so nice! This home made for a very memorable family vacation!

The Rustic Retreat was the perfect stay for me and my (7 year old) son. We enjoyed 10 days at this home. We loved the outdoor tub & the beautiful views from the balcony! The hosts- Ryan, Erica, Dante & Rise are all so kind and friendly. It’s walking distance from restaurants, beaches, and gift shops. After exploring Rincon, I would say this part of town was my favorite! We will definitely be back!

Best place we’ve stayed in Rincon

Ive stayed almost everywhere in Rincon and this place is by far my favorite... Ryan and Erica have everything dialed in. Great kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms are beautiful , the patio is so perfect for hanging out and grilling. The view is perfect for looking down to see what the waves/wind is doing. The place is bigger than the pictures portray.. The best part is the location. Probably the nicest street in puntas. I walked down to surf in the mornings. Cant wait to come back. Their family is super cool and nice. Cant wait to come back. Thank you for everything Ryan, Erica, Dante and Rise!!!! Best trip ever.

Perfect little retreat!

Quiet area for rest and relaxation. We loved the outdoor area, we sat out every morning for coffee and evenings we grilled and had cocktails. Walking distance to sandy beach and barefoot yoga. Ryan, Erica, and their children are exceptionally friendly and provided anything we needed. Will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Martin

I have been coming to Rincon since 1995. I fell in love with this island, it's people and their warm culture. I live on the same property in a separate house below in the valley. Enough privacy, but we are always here if you need anything. It is myself, my wife Erica, our two boys (Dante-10yo and Rise-5yo) and our dog, Shrimp.

We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you!
