About this property

Pelican Point BEACHFRONT Apt D on the famous Sandy Beach ground floor 4 people.

Standing a shell’s throw from the warm Caribbean waters, Pelican Point (D) is beachfront on the famous Sandy Beach, the center of activities/beach life in Rincon. From the courtyard-level/ground floor, guests looking to unwind will find themselves in the middle of the idyllic tropical scenery & their piece of paradise. The crystal clear summer ocean is great for swimming and snorkeling on uncrowded stretches of sand and 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's gazebo, redwood-covered event area, or one of the hammocks and watch surfers from around the world. This is where most guest spends 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.

Our beachfront apt has a full kitchen equipped with microwaves, stove, oven, toasters, coffee pot, plates, cups, etc. The apartment is set up for 4 guests. The apt has 2 bedrooms and a living room with a flat-screen TV, full cable package, WiFi, ceiling fans and the apt opens onto your own private balcony which overlooks/joins the beachfront private gated courtyard and Sandy Beach. Each bedroom has ACs and ceiling fans. One bedroom has 2 small beds and the master bedroom has a queen bed setup.

The northern beach of Rincon is better known as Sandy Beach and where the locals come to vacation so make sure you book early as it's typically booked months in advance. Pelican Point is centrally located in the middle of Sandy Beach's 18 beachfront homes and next to Tamboo. There are only 4-5 rentals on Sandy beach and besides one home, everything else is 'hotel style' rooms with a bed, bath, and coffee pot. After taxes and fees, they are about the same price but we offer full apts vs a bed and coffee pot. When you book 4 guests in an apt, rates are as low as $40/Person/Night. Rates range from $150 in the low season (May, Aug-Sept) to $210/N during the high season. Sandy Beach (known as the Fun Coast) is where everyone wants to be or travels here each so don't be fooled by West Coast Rincon rentals pretending to be a Sandy Beach rental.

PP is perfect for weddings, birthdays, special events such as surf or yoga camps, and even host many office parties. We host most of the Sandy Beach weddings which are held in our large courtyard or on the beach out. Typically the receptions are held in our beachfront, gated, and private courtyard for groups as large as 100. This is the biggest, and nicest beachfront/courtyard on Sandy Beach and the huge outdoor kitchen prep/double BBQs make that all too easy. Grill your burgers, hang with the family, and watch the surfers at the same time.

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 an honor!

Often endangered Leatherback Turtles, the size of a VW bug-car nest steps away. Watch the endangered Humpback Whales jumping from the comforts of your private balcony or in one of the lawn chairs/hammocks within the courtyard. Let us know how we can make this a trip you'll always cherish!

Amazing stay

We had an amazing stay and was stunned by the view and the location right on the beach! We had an apartment on the ground floor (D) that opened right into the garden and the beach. We made use of the hammocks, the bbq and just loved our stay. Kerry was very responsive and the playero even asked to clean our rental car. Honestly the stay exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back.

Pelican Point Review

Unbelievable spot on the beach. If you enjoy waking up and having your coffee overlooking the surf, this is the place to be. If you surf, you cannot beat it. Jim was a great host and helpful in connecting us with local resources such as boards/restaurants/etc. Will be back. Kevin

Second time staying in the same unit. Even more fun this time.

This place is AWESOME. When the water is calm it's super clear and great for snorkeling and spearfishing. When the waves show up its a top notch surfing beach. Not too many places in the world that have both but this place does. Not to mention the back yard is literally the beach. The property is clean and really safe. The hammmocks, grill station (huge), and outdoor tables were really cool. Nice AC, wifi, and a good TV for relaxing indoors. Town is just a couple of minutes away and there are tons of restaurants everywhere. It was sad to leave, but I will definitely be coming back again for a third time.

Best VRBO I've stayed at

Very nice location right on the beach. Like you go out the back door and BOOM, you're in the ocean. One of the best sandy beaches I've been to. Not crowed either.I loved the courtyard, we ate almost all our meals out there. The condo had everything you need in the kitchen, separate bedrooms, and even satellite TV. It was so relaxing. Surfboard rentals were just 2 properties down. There are restaurants within walking distance and a large grocery store in town with everything you need.

Wisconsin winter escape

What’s there to say? Perfect weather. Amazing location on Sandy Beach with restaurants and coffee within walking distance. The location is even more beautiful and relaxation inducing than the pictures convey. The beach, water, waves are amazing. Had several bbq’s in the courtyard. Great gathering place. The owner Jim was more than welcoming and ensured that myself and other guests’ were more than pleased with our stay. Going back in July with my daughters. Recommend without reservation!

Beautiful

We cannot wait to go back! The property is beautiful and the location is perfect! We walked to restaurants, shops, and to the old Spanish wall down the beach. The entire time we were there I just could not believe how beautiful it was! The shared outdoor space is what makes this property stand out from the others. We spent lots of time on the swings and in the hammocks. My son chose to sleep in the patio hammock rather than in a bed and I kinda wish I had thought of it first. The owner sent a list of recommended restaurants and things to do before we arrived which led us to good food and a great sea glass spot! The property manager went out of his way to be helpful. We plan to return each year!

Perfect Location in Rincón

This is a great property at a great location. Close to all the popular surf breaks in Rincón. It has everything you need at a reasonable price, and the setting can’t be beat. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance or a short drive as well. Very smooth check-in / check-out process.

Great stay for niece’s wedding & mini vacation!

My family & I stayed for 5 nights & it was fantastic. Easy check in with lockbox. The apartment was exactly as pictured. Clean, well stocked & spacious ( Apt. D ground floor). Everyone staying on the premises were super friendly & generous. I felt like I was truly on an island. The decor of the apt. Is rustic island vintage vibe with the BEST view !!!! I love the courtyard absolutely a private paradise. For an apartment it was fully stocked & Jim made sure there was start up paper towels, bathroom tissue, a small bar of bath soap, dish detergent & there was even salt, pepper, coffee filters & start up coffee etc… these are items that an owner doesn’t have to supply because this is not a guest house, hotel room, or B&B, you are renting an apartment so this was very nice of Jim. We were very appreciative! There are so MANY great things about this establishment that I can go on & on. If you want that tropical authentic Puerto Rico experience this is the place but if you are looking for a resort environment with toiletries & amenities then this place is not for you. THANK YOU JIM!!’ WE LOVED YOUR PERFECT PARADISE. We are looking forward to staying there again when visiting my family in Rincon.

This is the perfect beach getaway! Sparkling clean, gorgeous location and very attentive owner. This property never disappoints. We had a lovely time with our family. We absolutely LOVED this place. The apartment was clean, super cute and right on the Ocean with the most beautiful views, you will ever see. It is in walking distance to many local places and we always felt safe and protected. Jim, the property owner, was so helpful. It was evident that he wanted our stay to be the best it could be.

Great courtyard with a great view

Our favorite part of the stay was being right on the beach. The outdoor courtyard area was really nice. Rockers, loungers, hammocks and tables are all available to use during your stay. The outdoor cooking area was another great touch. We cooked out with the most amazing view. Our host was easy to reach, friendly and accommodating. We’re already talking about coming back with a bigger group of people. Now, let’s talk food. Def get a burger from Big Kahuna. Yes, a burger in Puerto Rico. Also, get a pincho from the side of the road stand just before getting to the Rincon lighthouse. Oh and the Rincon Bakery was the best of the several we tried.

Best place in Rincon!

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelican Point! We are extended family with kids, teens and adults. We rented the PH and apt D on the ground floor. It was super convenient for our group.In fact we commented several times throughout the week how happy we were with our choice of where to stay in Rincon. The apartments are clean and beachy. The courtyard with hammocks and chairs are perfect and makes it so you don’t have to rent. The beach is the best in the area and has a sandy bottom. There are also several very good spots to eat within walking distance that are very good. Most of all Jim was very helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk with! I highly recommend Pelican Point! We will be back.

To say our unit and host was impressive, does not give our stay justice. If you’re looking for a beach front, stunning, serene rental, look no further. To top that, the host/owner is very welcoming and informative for local suggestions. We hope to return in the very near future. Thank you Jim! - Gemma & Cameron

The location is unbeatable. The courtyard is perfectly inviting to sit and relax beachfront or take a few more steps and dive in the ocean.

Very short stay

We had to spend the first night without power, due to a power outage and no electric generator provided by the owner. The outage continued for the next day and we have to move to another place. Excellent location and a great view. Very important to know that Rincon has continuous power outages after Hurricane Maria and you have to paid in full for a night with no electricity for refrigerator, AC & TV. José

On the beach

Great location. Off street parking. Clean. With the manager, Carlos Castro, it is like having a travel advisor. His recommendations as to great dinning places was right on. I would highly recommend Pelican Point to anyone visiting Puerto Rico. And anyone visiting PR should make a visit to Sandy Beach. Beautiful beach, close to downtown Rincon. Great people and just a delight.

mediocre property if you're happy not to sleep on weekends

Apartment was clean upon arrival. Kitchen was stocked ok, not enough cutlery, could use basics such as strainer etc. Stove top worked intermittently. One burner was completely broken. Fridge only had one shelf, completely inadequate for a small family of 3 quantity of food. Asked for another shelf (as neighbouring apartment wasn't rented) was denied. No hot water in kitchen, made it difficult to wash really greasy dishes. No table to eat at just a high bar shelf. Difficult to sit a toddler in a high bar stool for meals. Beds comfy. Both bedrooms with AC. First night, AC in master was leaking. Property manager was prompt to send repair guy following day. Great location on Sandy beach for day time. However, Tamboo bar right next door is LOUD on weekends. I read the previous reviews and asked the owner about the noise due to the fact we were travelling with a young toddler. He told us it wouldn't be a problem if we ran the AC. In the bedrooms, with the AC running and while wearing ear plugs, the booming base from the DJ still disturbed us a lot on Fridays and saturdays (the windows vibrated) and if you were in the living room, you had to turn the TV up in order to hear it. And after the bar closes (early morning hours), the patrons spill out onto the street and there's a quasi street party right out side of the apartment's windows causing even more disturbance. Such a shame because the other inconveniences in the kitchen etc could be lived with but the lack of sleep really puts a dampner on a vacation.

About the host

Host profile image
Inventor, developer and mfr of products that saved 1000's of nuisance animals lives. Perhaps some of you have heard of a repellent called Snake-A-Way? Many other EPA approved repellents for bats, Moles, Birds, deer etc...

Why they chose this property

Best deal/view on Sandy Beach, but more than anything, these 2 bedroom apts are arguably on the very best location in all of Rincon and perhaps in all of PR for vacationers.

What makes this property unique

Cool breezes, clear waters, Endangered Humpback Whales and Giant Leatherback Turtles nest in front of Pelican Point. Centered on the famous Sandy Beach puts us where all the action is and where everyone wants to be. Only 18 homes are beachfront and we are the very center next to Tamboo. Most guests rarely leave the immediate area and continuously telling everyone they never want to leave.
