About this property

We are the only vacation rental on beautiful Pools Beach.. Our property includes two apartments that can be rented independently or together as a guesthouse. Each of the 2 units has a master bedroom with AC & a queen bed and a sleeper sofa in the living area. Each apartment can sleep 3 adults or 2 adults + 2 children comfortably.

From your balcony you have an unobstructed view of the beach and ocean, enabling you to see whales, surfers, and spectacular sunsets. The break at Pools Beach is a renowned surf destination in Puerto Rico, calm day wading pools next to the house are a treat for all ages!

We are within walking distance of restaurants and night life but far enough away that you can just enjoy the sounds of waves. A convenience store, surfing lessons/rentals, and beachfront yoga are also down the street.

Our Home is perfect for those seeking a romantic getaway on a quite Caribbean Beach or surfing enthusiasts seeking an amazing beach break. Ours is a hidden gem that keeps quests returning year after year.

The local Econo Supermarket is an easy 7 minute drive and has almost everything you would find in the States… The Lighthouse is only 4 to 5 minutes away and a great place to enjoy a sunset. Many more restaurants and culture awaits you in the Rincon Plaza.
We are dog friendly for pets under 20lbs.

Bliss

Our stay at The Pink House at Pool’s Beach was a much needed get away from hectic life. The sound of the waves, cool breezes, gorgeous beaches, and easy access to great restaurants made our vacation pure joy. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The property manager Yazmin was helpful and responded immediately to our questions. Overall, it was a perfect stay. Thank you!

Great beach

The beach and location are superb. The apartment leaves some things to be desired, but that was expected from the photographs. We didn’t have warm water while we were there, but it was warm enough outside to not bother us too much. They were working on the solar panels that heated the water when we left so that should be addressed for the next visitor. The place is in a great location. You can’t beat the view from the balcony. The property manager and her husband were friendly and helpful. The husband responded to our hot water issue and, even though it was not fixed while we were there, he grabbed a couple of coconuts off the tree next to the property for us, which was a treat to enjoy on the balcony. Great coffee a 100 yards down the street at Java Jakes, and the best fish tacos ever across the street at Jack’s Shack. Three days was the perfect amount of time at this place. Off to find a hot shower! lol

Perfect location for a getaway

This was our second time staying at the property and we had a wonderful experience both times. What you see in the photos is what you get - a nicely furnished condo with the best views you can imagine. Beach access is super easy and surfing opportunities are right at your doorstep. Highly recommend

One of a kind property and Rincon Experience!

Pink house is one of the few remaining 'old school' rentals in Rincon, with most of it's coastline consumed by cookie cutter villas and condo towers. It's a simple place with two units, both have oceanfront access and views. The beefy concrete construction means you won't hear a peep from your neighbors, and the large private veranda (20' long!) offers STUNNING views of the surf and open seas beyond Pools Beach. The beach isn't great for swimming due the coral and sandstone formations, but it's super quiet - all week we never saw more than a few people at a time walking or watching the surfers. Keep an eye out at sunset for the handful of pelicans that will roost in the tree next to the unit, they were excellent neighbors. Sandy beach is a 3 minute walk from the back door, but I recommend walking past the restaurant before swimming, the end closest to the Pink House has a pretty serious undertow. Despite a housekeeping snafu that led to us arriving to an uncleaned unit, the property manager quickly arranged for cleaners that evening, and an issue with the hot water (an island reality) was sorted out first thing Monday morning - we can't recommend this place highly enough. The surf sounds with the seas breaking on two sides of the point across multiple limestone reefs alone set this place apart, but the cool, funky vibe and effectively private beachfront make the Pink House a truly one of a kind experience. Someday (hopefully not soon) Pools Beach will fall victim to the cookie cutter condo invasion, so take the leap and stay here while you can - you'll not regret it!
