Rincon

"The inviting photo of rocking chairs on the condo balcony persuaded us to choose this particular unit in Rincon -- and we never regretted our decision for a minute! As others have remarked, its location is perfect: across the street from the lovely public beach with gentle waves and unparalleled sunsets, within walking distance of excellent restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops in the downtown area, with easy driving to the beautiful but more intimidating "surfer" beaches and also not far from the grocery store and farmers' markets. We could swim every morning at the public beach and then often explored by car in the afternoons -- to other beaches, to the nearby small city of Mayaguez, to the mountains to the east. The condo unit was clean, comfortable, a great place to come home to after active days in the sun. It was a very good fit for us. We loved having a washer and dryer right there in the unit (great for drying beach towels) and the eat-in kitchen and the comfortable sofas and -- of course - the rocking chairs! We particularly enjoyed spending time on that west-facing balcony, overlooking the street and the park beyond, watching the schoolchildren and fishermen and joggers in the morning, the cars and bicycles in the afternoon -- and on Saturday night watching the horseback riders go past and listening to music and singing from the park. The owner was very helpful and easy to contact when we had a question or an issue. We three "older" folks had some initial problems working the television set and he was more than patient with us! And when the swimming pool equipment was making an ominous noise, he contacted a person onsite immediately and the problem was solved. We would definitely like to come back and stay here again -- it was the perfect place to escape winter!"
