The host was very helpful and accommodating. The location is one of a kind with an amazing view. We looked forward to just sitting on the deck and watching the waves crash. Very secluded area with all of the trees around and felt like you were on your own island.

Everything we were looking for!

The perfect spot for a relaxing vacation - we loved the beach access and patio and the view, plus it was quiet but still close to everything we needed. If we make it back to PR someday, we'd stay here again!

Let me start off by saying, I never leave a review but this place is truly what they say it is “a hidden gem.” If you are looking to get away from the city life and have the beach with a country flare, you found it. We are definitely coming back!

Slice of Paradise

My wife and I booked The Love Shack after reading some of the positive reviews and I can’t even begin to tell you how spot on the previous travelers were. The views, sounds of the ocean, and convenience to all the great beaches and town made it a trip to remember. We won’t look anywhere else other than The Love Shack when we visit the island again!

Best vacation ever!

We spent a week at the Love Shack in Rincon, and absolutely fell in love with this place! I could have sat on that porch the entire time, and been perfectly content. Absolutely breathtaking view! We loved being able to walk to the private beach below. The cottage is so cute and cozy, had everything we needed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was perfect!

We had such a fantastic stay at the Love Shack! It's the perfect size for 2 people. Our favorite things were being able to open the doors onto both sides of the deck and seeing and hearing the ocean all day and night. You can walk to breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots. There are multiple beaches and more restaurants a very short drive away. We enjoyed Jack's Shack, The Red Flamboyan, and the BeachHouse. There is a grocery store nearby as well. The house is at the end of the road so it is very quiet and private. We ventured down the steep driveway past the owner's house and pool (which you can visit if you'd like) to the private beach. This area looks like it's out of a storybook. Absolutely gorgeous! I would highly recommend this rental and we would definitely return. This was our first visit to Puerto Rico. 10/10!

The name lives up to the property.

The home was clean and has a lot of character to it. It's a great escape and has beautiful views of the waters and trees! The landlord was easy to communicate with and very helpful during our stay. The beaches are lovely around here and there is one walking down from the house too. Would definitely come back and recommend others to stay here.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at this adorable little place! On our first day there, we walked down to the beach and happened to spot whales breaching! It was such an unexpected surprise! The ocean view from the deck was spectacular. We were sad to leave. Carol was a very accommodating host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon!

Loveshack

We enjoyed our stay at the Loveshack. We loved the view from the deck. Its very rustic and I had to remove a few spiders but this is to be expected. My son enjoyed the shower on the deck as the inside only gets lukewarm. The sunrise was amazing. Short drive to beaches and restaurants easy parking. We will come back here again.

All about the view!

We had a lovely time in Rincon and staying at “the love shack.” The view is spectacular from the deck. The private beach and lighthouse trail are pluses. The hill to the private beach is not for bad knees—but there are loads of beaches to visit within a few minutes. The accommodation’s were as pictured and the bed very comfortable. Check-in process was a breeze. You must try Estela’s for dinner. Delicious! Most restaurants are closed Sunday, Monday so plan accordingly. All-all a great retreat to relax.

Paradise!

My husband and I had the BEST time at the Love Shack! Carol and Denis were so helpful and hospitable. We felt completely at home and also had complete privacy. The view of the ocean is better than advertised! It is a steep walk down to the beach (and back up!) but it is well worth it. The beach is almost completely empty besides a few walkers. The swimming is fantastic! There are plenty of nearby restaurants, bakeries!, and grocery stores. It is paradise! I hope we can come back very soon. We also LOVED sweet Sake cat. She added so much to our stay. Thanks again for an amazing birthday getaway!

Host profile image
Dennis came on a surf trip to Rincon in the late 70's and then brought me to visit in 1980. We decided to make it home and had a garage sale packed up and didn't look back. We have three rental properties in Rincon and a Sushi/Pool Bar.
We have raised our daughter here and her husband our 15 year old surfer grandson enjoy Rincon with us!
