Pelican Point Beachfront Apt B on The Famous Sandy Beach, Surf & weddings
Standing a shell’s throw from the warm Caribbean waters, Pelican Point’s 5 Vacation Apartments are beachfront & on the famous Sandy Beach, the center of activities/beach life in Rincon. From the courtyard-level, second-story, and penthouse, guests looking to unwind will find themselves in the middle of the idyllic tropical scenery & their piece of paradise. We can assist in setting up day sailing tours, sunset cruises, and tours of the only US rain forest, along with special tours like Gilligan's Island and multiple huge waterfalls which are within an hour. The crystal clear summer ocean is great for swimming and snorkeling on uncrowded stretches of sand; brilliant sunsets are among Pelican Point's natural amenities. During winter months, Rincon has been deemed the “Maui of the Caribbean-surfing capital." Rincon features some of the most forgivable and unforgettable waves in the world. It is centered on a point that catches swells from two directions, with consistent offshore winds on the 2 points. The best waves occur from November through April. Wake up and look at the surf conditions without your feet ever touching the floor. Or set in the courtyard hammocks and watch surfers from around the world.
Our beachfront estate apt has a full kitchen equipped with microwaves, stove, oven, toasters, coffee pot, etc. The apartment is set up for 4 guests but can accommodate 5 (if families). The apt has a living room with a pullout futon, TV, ceiling fans and opens onto your own private balcony which overlooks/joins the beachfront courtyard and Sandy Beach. Each bedroom has a split unit AC's and ceiling fans. 2 small beds are in one bedroom and a large bed in the master along with a futon sofa in the living room.
Pelican Point is located in the middle of Sandy beach and where everyone wants to be. There are only 4-5 rentals on Sandy beach and besides one home, everything else is a 'hotel style' room with a bed, bath, and coffee pot. After taxes and fees, they are about the same price as we offer our full 2 bedroom apartments. There are only 18 beachfront locations on all of Sandy Beach (known as the Fun Coast) and even fewer beachfront rentals. When you book 4-5 guests in an apt, rates are as low as $40/Person/Night and a real bargain as we keep rates low. Rates range from $140 in low season (May, Aug-Sept) to $175/N (High Season) for the regular 4 apts and $225- $250/N for the penthouse, plus 7% PR taxes.
The northern beach (Sandy Beach) of Rincon is where the locals come to vacation so make sure you book early, as it's typically booked months in advance. PP is perfect for weddings, birthdays, special events, and even office parties. This is the biggest, nicest beachfront/courtyard rental on Sandy Beach. Use the book it now features to book immediately and with confidence!
Restaurants: Tai, German, Italian, Topas, lots of seafood, and great local restaurants. Activities: Horse-back tours along the beach, spectacular sunsets, rated 2nd best place for finding jewelry grade sea glass in the world, Whale watching, leather-back turtle nesting, hiking, mountain biking, caves, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, diving, and the best surf within 1,000 miles. Pelican Point hosted the 2010-2011 Rip Curl (top 100 pro-surfers) beach party during their world event; this was the only sanctioned Rincon event and what an honor!
We host lots of weddings that are held on the beach out front and typically the receptions are held in our beachfront, gated, and private courtyard for groups as large as 100. We also host business events, birthday parties, retreats, surf camps, or general celebrations which are held in the courtyard where huge BBQs are created on the large double BBQ-kitchen prep area. This is where most guests spend 85% of their awake hours, telling us they don't want to leave as they can see all of Sandy Beach, the nightlife, and everything happening from there. Often endangered Leatherback Turtles, the size of a VW bug-car nest steps away. Watch the endangered Humpback Whales jump from the water while nursing their young from the comforts of your private balcony or in one of the lawn chairs/hammocks within the courtyard. We certainly invite you to look at any of the many customer reviews to see what past guests think and share this message and reviews with others in your party. Let us know how we can make this a trip you'll always cherish!
Best regards, Jim Springer RinconRentalcom

Our family of 4 had the best stay here! The accommodations are clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need (plus there is a beautiful bbq area on site for guests to use as well!). The location and grounds were even better than the photos…we just loved every minute here! The owner, Jim, was so helpful in answering any and all questions we had about board rentals, places to eat, nearby activities…we would give this place more than 5 stars if we could! This was our first visit and we cannot wait to go back and do it all again!
Our stay at this beach side retreat was absolutely unforgettable. This property had a cozy, rustic charm with a stunning view right on the ocean. I loved waking up to the sound of waves, enjoying coffee on the spacious covered deck and taking in a beautiful sunrise in paradise. Jim was an amazing host, very friendly and always available to give suggestions on places to explore and eat. I definitely plan on returning to Rincon and can’t think of any other place that I would rather stay! Absolutely perfect place to unwind in paradise!
The unit we stayed in was clean and had a beautiful view. Easily accessible in the Rincon area, at a relaxing beachfront property. The host is friendly and welcoming. A definite repeat for us!
One of the most relaxing vacations we've enjoyed. Fantastic view and location. You don't really need to leave the area. Jim is attentive, informative and easy-going. We will be back!

You guys were great and always welcomed here! Hope you got home safely.
We would easily stay again. Perfect for our family of four. I can not say location, location, location. If we were not visiting friends I could have never left a square mile of the condo. Had everything we needed and fit the description to a T. The extra amenities, ie boogie boards and sun chairs were a super added bonus!

You guys were awesome guests and made hosting you a breeze. Thanks for being super cool and with that.... you're always welcomed here!
We had a wonderful time at Pelican Point. Jim the Owner was available on the property every day. The apartment was really nice and clean. The backyard was great. I would heartily encourage staying there!
We enjoyed our stay at Pelican Point. Great central location for what we wanted to do. We were able to hit a lot of different beaches and tourist attractions within an hour drive or less. Able to walk out the courtyard and up the beach and find some sea glass, which we all thought was cool. All in all, a great spot for dad and teenage daughters, 19 & 17. Jim was always responsive if I sent him a message and he had lots of good recommendations for the area.
These condos are older but very clean. The owner is very attentive to any issues that crop up. These units are one of the few directly on the water and the view is outstanding. The location is good for walking to several very good restaurants. There is a great coffee shop and a taco stand. The only negative is the occasional loud music from the restaurant next door, only about once a week. But knowing this, you can plan an evening away and the music is done by 9:00.

The Perfect Place to Stay. After Hurricane Maria, Rincon and PR is Back
This place is located in the Heart of Rincon. Walking distance to bars and restaurants . Front and center views of the ocean and the beach is just steps way. The Hosts were very attentive and went out of their way to make us comfortable and provided us with great info on the local area. Other reviews talked about the noise level of the next door restaurant Tamboo which only happens in the weekend. For us it was not a problem and it actually helped enhance our experience there. Happy and Joyful Caribbean Vibe.
I highly recommend this place and hope to stay there again soon.

Thanks a lot for considering us for your get away spot. If there is something that comes to mind about how we can improve please let us know. hope to see you soon!!
So perfect, I don't know where to start. Wake up, have coffee on the 2nd floor balcony, watch the waves come in. Wander into the courtyard & chill in a hammock under the palm trees. Walk on the sandy beach. Boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, umbrella -- all there to use. 2 min walk to rent a surfboard & you can surf right in front of the property. Courtyard shower & hoses. Grill, gazebo, tables for dinner outside. Location is ideal - you're in a small neighborhood outside of downtown Rincon. Five or six restaurants within walking distance (Tamboo, Kahuna, Casa Verde, Casa Islena, & Jack's). [Note: Tamboo nextdoor is not a rowdy dive bar. It's a pretty nice & pricey restaurant. Zero noise.] 2 surf shops within a block for beer, soda, sunscreen. 9 min drive to Tres Palmas for the best snorkeling we did on our trip. 10-12 min drive to Economart, Thurs night art market & downtown shops. The A/C units are some kind of magic, they cool the bedrooms down within seconds.Listen. You're at the beach in the Caribbean. Do you really want to stay in a touristy Ikea showroom just because it has a fancy shower head and Egyptian cotton sheets? Get some sand on your feet and be a little sweaty with a drink in your hand. Pelican Point is the perfect blend of the convenience & comfort you want on vacation and the real feel of the Caribbean. I would live here if I could.

You guys were kind and the guests we all dream of. Thank you for the kind words. You are always welcomed here!
Having never been to Puerto Rico we weren't sure what to expect. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be back! Who wouldn't enjoy waking up every morning and having coffee in the balcony overlooking the ocean? Jim is great to stay with, everything was just as he said, he even left us a couple beach chairs and an umbrella! The courtyard was a great place to sit and watch my family body surfing when I was done with the ocean for the day. Other beautiful beaches are just a stones throw away as well as restraunts, you have to check out Jack's Shack just down the road, don't be intimidated by its appearance, the food is phenomenal and Cole and Jenna are fantastic! If you are thinking of renting this, I recommend it, it's rustic, but it feels like you would imagine Puerto Rico feels ❤️
Five college friends (including my wife) decided to explore PR this year to find a new warm weather vacation spot. When 2 cancelled a couple weeks before we were to leave we scrambled to find an alternative and had the very good fortune to discover this property.
We were welcomed by Jim (the owner) upon arrival (even though our "advance warning" to him was a little vague and late). Anything we needed (e.g., blender for our smoothies and daiquiris, replacement coffee-maker) showed up almost immediately. And Jim was very helpful with his dining and touring suggestions the whole week we were there.
The large courtyard appeared an excellent place to hang out in the hammocks and watch the surfers and other "beach traffic". But our view from the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the courtyard, the beach, and the extended horizon from up there mostly had us being lazy and keeping to ourselves upstairs (although there was quite a bit of leaning over the patio to keep up with goings on down below). We saw a whale blowing and jumping the first morning we arrived (but Jim advised it was still a few weeks early for the migration--guess we were just lucky). There are also excellent restaurants within walking distance and many more just a short drive away.
We had a planned power outage one day of our stay, but when he learned of it, Jim was there providing lots of lights (in case the outage went past dark) and suggestions to everyone on how to deal with the inconvenience, and making sure everyone was dealing ok with the situation while the power was out.
We noted that earlier reviews had mentioned excessive noise from the restaurant next door, but that appears (hopefully) to be just a problem from the past. We had no issues, and having a restaurant next door is certainly convenient.
All in all, this was a nice and friendly place. Jim was super helpful and generous with advice about things to see and do. The location is excellent. And we will be back. For sure!
Thanks, amigo.
Great location, right on the beach! Sandy beach great for beginner surfing, when swells are 1-2ft and Boogie boarding too. Jim is very helpful and accommodating owner. AC in the kids bedroom was going off and on and issue was addressed. Well equipped kitchen, pans, toaster, coffee. Lots of great food nearby 10 min drive, Cambija and one-two Rincon for seafood. Carbon Express and La papa for roasted chicken
This is a nice place located right on the beach. There was more than enough room for My wife and I plus my teenage daughter. Its in a nice neighborhood with a couple bar/restaurants and a coffee shop with in walking distance. The water was a little rough for swimming a couple of the days during our visit but there are other beaches a short drive away that had calmer waters. I will be staying here again.
We had an absolute blast staying at Pelican Point. The music does get loud a few nights of the week but hey...just join in the fun! Jim and Carlos were excellent hosts.
Well organized functional appartment next to the beach. Manager super friendly. We had a great time.

Great Beach House!
Beautiful house, comfortable and clean. Great Beach access
Only caveat is a that car is 100% necessary since there is minimal access to restaurants/bars.

Why they chose this property
When I sold my business, I could have bought a property in any area of Puerto Rico I wanted, but choose Sandy Beach, Rincon because I quickly understood why the locals choose Sandy Beach for their vacations. Rincon is a magical place and Sandy Beach is where everyone wants to be!
