About this property

AN ECO-FRIENDLY BEACH VILLA - AT SANDY BEACH

This gorgeous 5 bedroom, 4 baths Eco-Friendly beach villa lies on the edge of one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Sandy beach. This is a sustainable property, primarily powered with solar energy during daylight hours and Tesla lithium battery for night time hours. Hot water as well is provided by solar heated panels located on the roof top. This villa provides a serene and tranquil atmosphere, with a unique bohemian feel that’s very relaxing and peaceful as you unwind and relax. Whether lounging on hammocks beneath the thatched palapa or whale watching from our expansive rear deck on the bluff, this home is an exquisite getaway. This setting combines Rincon's world famous surfing beaches with its famous sunsets while in view of Desecheo Island. This beautiful home is continously updated to ensure maximum efficiency as well as comfort. We are thrilled with the outcome and hope you enjoy it as much as we did getting it ready for you. This villa is equipped with an owner/managers suite, located on upstairs level. Our goal is to make this home as 'green' as possible, yet providing comfortable accommodations for our guests, seeking an unforgetable getaway. You will find motion censored faucets in bathrooms to help reduce water consumption as it is very expensive. All shower heads are equipped with low flow output to again reduce excess water usage. You will also find solar panel lighting in various places outdoors to continue to reduce electric consumption. Our goal is to utilize the abundant sun Mother Nature has gives us, in the Caribbean, and contribute in helping future generations enjoy this beautiful island and world. With your help, we can make the difference. Hope you can assist in conserving energy while you visit this gorgeous and fun beach house. This property does NOT a back up generator for when electricity is out. Unfortunately, our solar power system is not powerful enough to run our air conditioner units, which work on grid power.

AMAZING LOCATION

We arrived to the house late at night so we couldn’t really see much outside…. When we woke up and went outside !!!! WOW!!! Amazing view. The outside areas of this house is where we spent most of the time. Great place for paradise getaway. There’s a coffee shop 50’ from the house. If you want a paradise getaway this is definitely one to try. Owner was very responsive with answering questions and updating us with info

Great property, host will charge you 500 extra

Incredible property. That being said we were blamed 8 days after our stay for smoking outside of the house. We did not. Same with holes in his outdoor furniture which photos were taken 8 days after we left and two other groups stayed there. Great spot and location, just wish we didn’t have to pay an extra 500

Exactly what we needed

First of all, Rusty is the man. Despite some things that could’ve ruined our vacation (a flat tire, similar incidents), outside of Rusty’s control — it was perfection. 4 couples stayed for 4 days. The view from the upper deck can’t be beat, the beach has practically a private section for the house, and the city offered a lot of entertainment. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer host and genuinely considering re-renting next year.

Paradise

This house is really a private resort. Views are amazing and lush natural vegetation provides amazing privacy. Your own door way and 3 steps to the beach. Upper deck views cannot be beat for privacy and the 180 degree view of the ocean and beach. Small pool was perfect for kids and outdoor area was where we spent all our time. You’re on the beach but with all the comforts of loungers, couches, and hammocks. House was clean but dated, which we did not mind at all when you have the ocean breeze blowing through the whole house. Jakes Java coffee shop 1 minute walk in the morning. Restaurants 5-10 minute walk. Easy 10 min drive into downtown Rincon. This is a hidden gem in a quiet paradise. This property is on a bluff overlooking sandy beach and the ocean. It is truly amazing!

Fantastic beautiful Home

This house is situated perfectly on the beach. The home was immaculate. The added bonus of the upper deck looking over the ocean was exceptional. The owner , Rusty, was great. Any questions were quickly answered and attended to. If you are traveling to Rincón I highly recommend this home.

Stunning beach property

This special house right on Sandy Beach is by far my favorite place to stay on my visits to Rincón. This time, I was with a small group but I’ve been there with a large group, and there is so much beautiful outdoor deck space that there’s a spot for everyone to have a nook to read, sunbathe, do some yoga or have a conversation without being in anyone else’s space. And then there’s the gorgeous beach. If big waves aren’t your cup of tea, this stretch of beach isn’t for you. We loved it and spent most of our stay there. So glad the host provided beach chairs and an umbrella. The price is on the high side, but you definitely do get what you pay for. Host also responds very quickly. I hope this house will be available and well cared for for years to come.

Staying with a family over Christmas

The house has a great location, it is nested at one of the most beautiful beaches in Rincon, Sandy beach. It has a massive deck overlooking the beach, the whole concept is great. However, the house is so old and dated, the furniture is so disgusting, the sofas are filthy with legs falling apart, they put clean sheets to cover it all up. The whole house was very dirty in general, we found the dirt between the plates that has never been washed, rusty oven, not working dish washer. The floors, the doors, everything was just so dirty, we all felt so disgusting. We took showers outside as the bathrooms were so dated and filthy. There is NO washer or dryer at the premises. There is NO hot water unless there's a sun out and even then it wasn't fully hot. The water pressure was terrible. There was NO smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector. We had to leave earlier as the top apartments had major leak and you could smell the mould and moister in the rooms. It is such a shame as Rincon is a beautiful place with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and the most amazing beaches, but the house ruined our Christmas and the whole experience.The owner was fair at the end and partially refunded us as we originally paid for luxury accommodation, but the house was just inhabitable. I hope the owner understands how amazing opportunity he has and fix all the issues....otherwise not sure that ai would rent it in this stage.

Fantastic location and great place for a large group.

Our family stayed at the home for 10 days with 11 people over the New Years holiday. The home has plenty of room and has many places to relay and enjoy the great view of the sea. I have never stayed at a place with such a large covered deck and different places to relax. Rusty the owner called us shortly after we arrived and asked us if everything was as expected. We told him that we were having problems with the TV and the toaster and within hours he arrived with a new TV and a new toaster. He was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend this location.

Very disappointing

Firstly I have never posted a bad review until now. We arrived to find the top floor of the house flooding (water poring out of two bedroom ceilings and down the walls) and no hot water. We endured days of tradesmen in and out of the property and cold water. It was terrible.The amount of deferred maintenance on this house makes for a very unpleasant stay. You are just waiting for the next thing to break. There is gaffer tape holding the kitchen window in place, cracked windows, many appliances didn't work, the main sofa leg was broken and just propped on its side, there was mould on the utensils in the drawer, you had to wear shoes inside as the floors would make your feet incredibly dirty, the beach chairs were all rusted out, there was a broken pipe in the front and we lost power in the master bedroom... the list goes on. The most disappointing part was how the host Rusty responded. To help Rusty fix the house for the next tenants we agreed to have tradesmen in and out of the house, we were incredibly sympathetic to his situation. We agreed an amount for the refund which in his words 'no problem, I just want you to have a good experience'. When we returned from vacation he refused to respond to any messages and only refunded a portion of what was agreed. We felt incredibly disappointed and scammed, for all of Rusty's promises he was dishonest and didn't care about our stay. Do not book this property - both the property and Rusty are a disgrace.

Fabulous, wonderful, unforgettable.

All 16 of us had the best vacation ever. Your house was perfect. We had seclusion from each other when needed and spent a lot of time all together. Beach was awesome. Restaurants and bars in walking distance. We'd go there every year if we could. Highly recommended. New Years and the snorkel adventure were unforgettable. My dream came to having the whole family with me at a place none of us will never forget.

EXCEPTIONAL large beachfront home...very special property

We came for 3 weeks in Rincon with a group of friends. The property has prime location directly on the highly desired sandy beach within a very short distance to Tamboo restaurant and Jakes coffee. The property has 2 distinct living areas up and downstairs but plenty of room to all gather together. Outdoor decks are spectacular...just stunning and huge. Sandy beach is rated the best beach in Rincon and it is just awesome. The host was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate recommending and plan on bringing our large family back for vacation this summer. Thank you Rusty for a great stay and for offering your home to others for enjoyment.

Wonderful Stay with Family

This house's location couldn't be better with direct access to the beach and truly beautiful views from the deck and terrace. We loved the different outdoor areas, whether to read on hammocks, drink coffee while looking out at the beach and the ocean or watch the sunset. We had everything we needed to be able to prepare and enjoy family meals. It was wonderful to go for walks along Sandy Beach. It's a plus to have easy access to some of Rincon's restaurants, bars, a coffee shop and minimart within walking distance, but, to be honest, we were enjoying the house so much that we spent most of our time there. Rusty was a very attentive and helpful host and you can really see the care he takes in maintaining this wonderful villa. We would absolutely love to come back!

Wonderful Vacation!

This is the third time we have stayed at Coralina Del Mar.... we can't imagine staying anywhere else in Rincon! it's perfectly situated on the edge of Sandy Beach, within walking distance to several great bars, restaurants, shops, etc. The outdoor space is the best...plenty of room for everyone in our large group to relax...whether you want to nap in the hammock under the shaded pavilion, or soak in the sun on a lounge chair on the upper terrace, or sit on the upper deck and watch the surf or look for whales or just take in the spectacular view. The indoor space is well appointed...the kitchens are supplied with just about anything you'd need...the beds are comfy and there were plenty of towels provided. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here...we'll be back again next year, I'm sure!

Birthday celebration for family of 12

We ranged in age from 6 to 69 and the house and location were great for all. There was lots of space for everyone to spread out. The kids loved the pool and everyone loved the beach. There were some good places for lunch within walking distance. We had dinner catered every evening which was very nice and particularly useful because the kitchen was not well equipped. The views from the verandas were fabulous. I would do this again for a large group. The house could use some upgrades and the washer and dryer are coin operated which we fortunately knew in advance. For location, easy access to the beach and beautiful views this house is first rate.

Absolutely gorgeous home, ample space, lovely!!!

This beautiful home is built into the cliffs of Sandy Beach in Rincon. The pictures do not do it justice at all. It is stunning in so many ways from the wrap around decks overlooking the ocean waves to the tiled veranda with the thatched roof and hammocks for relaxing in the shade. Literally on the beach, steps from 3-4 restaurants, a coffee/green smoothie hut across the street. You don't need (and don't want to) leave Coralina del Mar. Rusty, the owner, is responsive, kind and honest. I'm planning to rent again next year! Me and the 17 people I brought with me felt like we were in paradise for a week! This place is very special (and I looked at several places.) Enjoy Coralina del Mar!

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

We enjoyed Rincon and Coralina Del Mar with our two teenagers and another family with teens over February school break. The house is roomy enough for everyone to have their own space, and such a beautiful house it is. The upper deck is a wonderful place for the adults to enjoy coffee while the kids slept in. Then at the back end of the day we all gathered and watched the sunset sending colors over the surf. The location was great - right on the beach, walking distance to a few local pubs, surfing spots for the kids and a running trail for the exercise enthusiasts. We found so much to do right in Rincon, fishing, snorkeling, surfing and sunning. Thanks for opening up your beautiful home to us. One last point, the local property manager was available for questions and to deal with any issues. Very prompt attention!

About the host

Host profile image
This villa is locally owned and operated since 2004 when it was purchased. Owners personal goal, was to convert this unique property into their home as well as vacation rental where guests come to relax and enjoy the natural beauty and forget life's problems. Soon after purchased, this property went through major renovation and it is now one of the most highly desired properties to stay at in Rincon. As property manager, I am personally involved with day to day operation in managing the villa, ensuring guests satisfaction and lasting memories when visiting this gorgeous villa. It is with great joy and satisfaction for me to showcase this property and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I do.`

Why they chose this property

This property was acquired for its beautiful location, beautiful people, and good vibes. With multiple restaurants, pubs, beaches, surf breaks, and snorkeling at walking distance, the villa soon became an exclusive getaway for families of up to 16 guests. Due to its many advantages, it has become very attractive to families of all sizes but particularly large families. Spending quality time and creating long lasting memories is something my family, friends and special guests have enjoyed for the past 16 years. Come and enjoy life at the beach with the most important people in your life. You will return with an unforgettable experience that your family and friends will cherish forever.

What makes this property unique

Our unique benefits, that sets us apart from other villas in Rincon is our customer service as well as unique qualities that are not offered anywhere else in the area.
