We, 2 adult couples, stayed at Casa Rincon Jan3-10, 2023. Pros: the house is quite secure and is a 10 minute walk to a dark sand beach. There is a nice patio with pool and jacuzzi. The patio has a table and 4 chairs but no sunbeds.The TV works well but the blue-ray system doesn't work. There is a new washer/drier-no instruction booklet. I finally got it working by trial and error. Good showers.
Cons: On arriving we found no working coffee maker, only mismatched pots and broken base units. The property manager had to go out and buy a new one. No hair dryer either (the description lists one). The description says the house has a modern designer kitchen – maybe in 2000 but now has an old oven with no handle, a stained toaster oven that barely heats, a toaster that burns the bread on one side only. If you like soupy ice cream, put it in the freezer which doesn’t freeze. The cutlery is of Salvation Army quality. The cooking pans are also not in the best shape. We decided to only make breakfast and eat out for the rest of our meals. The beds are hard, coil mattresses with cheap viscose sheets. The twin beds have coils that stuck me in the hip and back. Every morning I awoke tired, with stiff, painful joints. The double beds were very firm but no hard steel poking up.
Unfortunately, this is the first time we’ve had to leave a negative review but we think future renters should read both the great reviews and this ‘real story’ review.
We are property owners who used to rent out our 4000 sq ft luxury villa in southern Turkey for the same price as Casa Rincon. The pool area had 6 sun loungers, beach bags for guests, sun umbrella – none of this is provided in Casa Rincon. Only beach towels.
We provided comfortable beds and top quality Italian linens; we had a detailed booklet of instructions on the use of electronics & all appliances; where to shop for food, restaurant suggestions, as well as basic first aid supplies, contact info for the local doctor, nearest hospital, security and all that makes people enjoy their stay. I had to pepper the property mgr, Lis, myriad times to get this kind of information.
We have rented many homes on VRBO and on AirBnB in different countries. This home compares unfavorably to similar accommodations that we’ve rented.
With new beds and needed appliance repairs/replacements Casa Rincon will be a pleasant place to stay in Potrero. As is, go mainly for the beach without planning to cook more than basic food.
