About this property

Amapola House - Amazing Rincon Villa near the popular beaches of Puntas -

Puerto Rico’s Amapola House is a private getaway minutes from the quaint town of Rincon, nestled near sweeping hillsides and tropical scenery in the Caribbean islands. Located a few minutes away from pristine Sandy Beach and the best Rincon restaurants and bars, Amapola House provides a comfortable resting place for those that want to have an activity-filled day, but a quiet place to return to at night. Backup electric and water ensure a completely pleasant stay.
The owners make sure that Amapola House feels more like second home than a hotel. Built by the Avilés family, who has lived in the area for generations, the house features modern design and stylish décor. Named after the hibiscus flowers that used to bloom on the property of the family matriarch, Amelia Avilés, Amapola House features sepias of Old Rincon going back to the 1890’s.
Once situated, guests can sit in comfortable chairs and look out into the tropical scenery from the Starlight Veranda, the private suite terrace or the lower California scenery deck. Enjoy a swim in our private rooftop pool with swim up bar and jets.

Amapola House is a four-level vacation home with four bedrooms. All the bedrooms include large closets and either a queen bed or two twin beds. With three full bathrooms, the house comfortably accommodates up to eight people. Rooms are decorated in rich yellow and terracotta tones in a contemporary style. A private suite is located on its own level with a private terrace and outdoor dining area. Guests who like to cook on holiday will love the fully equipped kitchen and cocktail bar. Amapola House also offers a dining service for eight, and several great restaurants are minutes away.
Amapola House offers a unique vacation experience that vastly differs from others in the area. Located in a private area that is only reachable through nearly untraveled roads, it gives guests seclusion and tranquility, while still being close to the area’s best beaches and hotspots. The art, antiques and photos offer a glimpse into Rincon’s past and the history of surfing. Guests will truly feel at home at Amapola House, which was designed to do just that.
The golden sands and pristine waters of Sandy Beach are only two minutes by car and ten minutes on foot. Our Sun Deck sunsets are unforgettable and and the nights are filled with millions of stars and serious moonlight.
The interior is designer-decorated and contains a private collection of heirloom antiques and vintage photographs of Old Rincon and Surfing legends, which are part of The Amapola House Story.
Everyone that stays at Amapola House only regrets not staying longer and wishes to return soon, as indicated in our Guest Book entries.
Our kitchen and bar are well-equipped. Guest sleeps quite comfortably in beds with high-quality mattresses and high-count linens (no futons or pull outs). Extra large closets keep your living accommodations spacious.
Our oversized towels are plush and so are our beach towels. The large bathrooms offer rain shower heads, glass basins and oversized mirrors to allow you to pamper yourself as you prepare for the evening, after a day at the beach or a day trip.
iPod stereos, DVD players, flat screen TV's and cable TV service provide entertainment between outings. High-speed wireless Internet keeps you connected when you want to be. The wifi in the area, however is unreliable at times and guests should consider this before arriving.
Our caretaker is always nearby and available to assist you during your stay at Amapola House and to ensure that your stay is a comfortable one.
This home has four levels with stairs and may not be suitable for wheelchairs and persons with limited mobility.

Great views
Overall we enjoyed the location and layout of this property. Definitely the highlight is the roof top pool and views in both directions. The neighborhood is very nice and quick drive to shops and restaurants. We would have given it 5 stars if the washer and dryer had worked, the kitchen was a little bigger (not much counter space) and contruction at the property next door hadn't started at 7:30am.

Location plus
Our family of five adults all loved Amapola House! Communication was effective getting into the house, although there were a few glitches during our stay that might have been helped by better communication. The house sits on a ridge with wonderful views of tropical trees, ocean and sunsets. The area has other rental homes, small hotels, private residences and some small farms. We enjoyed the diversity of the neighborhood. At first we were a little concerned about not being directly on the beach, but we enjoyed the hilltop location. We walked to Sandy Beach and to a couple local restaurants. The neighborhood was filled with bird sounds and we even had a visit from a large iguana. We were an easy drive to other beaches, local sights and the town of Rincon. Our favorite place was the rooftop sitting area with pool. We enjoyed the indoor-outdoor living. Bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is small, but adequate for our needs. We would definitely return to Amapola House for another stay.

Why they chose this property

While we are new Host on Home Away. This property has been a Five Star vacation rental in Rincon since 2008. Our Family has been vacationing in Rincon at least twice a year for the last twelve years. We rented the Amapola House twice over the last five years. When we heard it was on the Market, be it only for 5 days. We flew down and bought it. The previous owner was a Super Host on Home Away. Amapola House is one of the highest rated properties in Rincon. We will happily provide copies of the previous reviews by email.
