About this property

Pelican Point BEACHFRONT PENTHOUSE centered on Sandy Beach & Surf

Standing a shell’s throw from the warm Caribbean waters, Pelican Point’s 6 Vacation Apartments are beachfront & on the famous Sandy Beach, the center of activities/beach life in Rincon. From the courtyard-level, second-story, and penthouse, guests looking to unwind will find themselves in the middle of the idyllic tropical scenery & their piece of paradise. From your balcony, you can see the entire Sandy Beach strip and all the way to the Aguadilla airport.

We can assist in setting up day sailing tours, sunset cruises, and tours of the only US rain forest, along with special tours like Gilligan's Island and multiple huge waterfalls which are within an hour. The crystal clear summer ocean is great for swimming and snorkeling on uncrowded stretches of sand; brilliant sunsets are among Pelican Point's natural amenities. The national Marine Reserve is just 4 miles away or rent a horse and ride along the beach. 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 consistently 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 hammocks and watch surfers from around the world.

Our beachfront estate consists of 5-6 individual and completely private beachfront apartments; they have full kitchens equipped with microwaves, stoves, toasters, coffee pots, etc. The apartments are set up for 4 guests but can accommodate 5 (if families) and the penthouse is set up for 6 but can accommodate 7. The penthouse consists of the entire top floor, has Spanish tile throughout, and has an A-Frame teak ceiling that doubles its overall feel. Each apt has a living room with a pullout futon, TV, ceiling fans and opens onto your own private balcony which overlooks/joins the beachfront courtyard and Sandy Beach. All the bedrooms have ACs and ceiling fans. Each apt is set up the same, 2 small beds in one bedroom and a large bed in the master along with a futon sofa in the living room. The penthouse has 4 small beds and a queen in the master and has 2 bathrooms but double the size of the regular 4 apts.

Pelican Point is located in the middle of Sandy beach and where everyone wants to be. There are only 4-5 rentals on Sandy beach and besides one home, everything else is a 'hotel-style' room with a bed, bath, and coffee pot. After taxes and fees, they are about the same price as we offer our full 2 bedroom apartments. There are only 18 beachfront locations on all of Sandy Beach (known as the Fun Coast) and even fewer beachfront rentals. When you book 4-5 guests in an apt, rates are as low as $40/Person/Night and a real bargain as we keep rates low. Rates range from $150 in low season (May, Aug-Sept) to $175/N (High Season) for the regular 4 apts and $250- $325/N for the penthouse, plus 7% PR taxes.

The northern beach (Sandy Beach) of Rincon is where the locals come to vacation so make sure you book early, as it's typically booked months in advance. PP is perfect for weddings, birthdays, special events, and even office parties. Don't be fooled by other rentals just saying they are beachfront in Rincon. These renters will end up traveling to Sandy Beach many times during their trip because it's where everyone wants to be. Watch all the action from your huge balcony or front a hammock in the courtyard. This is the biggest, nicest beachfront/courtyard rental on Sandy Beach, again there are only a few rentals on the beach in this area.

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, 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 event and what an honor!

We host lots of weddings that are held on the beach out front and typically the receptions are held in our beachfront, gated, and private courtyard for groups as large as 100. We also host business events, birthday parties, retreats, surf camps, or general celebrations which are held in the courtyard where huge BBQs are created on the large double BBQ-kitchen prep area. This is where most guests spend 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. Often endangered Leatherback Turtles, the size of a VW bug-car nest step away. Watch the endangered Humpback Whales jump from the water while nursing their young from the comforts of your private balcony or in one of the lawn chairs/hammocks within the courtyard. We certainly invite you to look at any of the many customer reviews to see what past guests think and share this message and reviews with others in your party. Let us know how we can make this a trip you'll always cherish!

Great Family Getaway on the Beach

Great location right on the beach with all the amenities needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay near Rincon. Property manager was extremely responsive and the beach was only steps away from the property. Make sure to take a walk along the beach to search for sea glass. A nice souvenir to take back with you.

We watched sunrise and many sunsets. Waking up to the beach, view and go for a swim just a few feet away was truly amazing. We stayed in the penthouse... would definitely stay there again. Restaurants and shops nearby...very convenient. El flamboyan restaurant has amazing food and drinks with amazing staff that made you feel at home.

Relaxing stay in a gorgeous spot

The beach was gorgeous and the penthouse view of the beach was next level. Small caveats are that we mainlanders are spoiled by ac which is not available beyond the bedrooms. That took some acclimation. Additionally, wifi was hit or miss so we ended up tethering to our phones for any significant wifi needs. That said, it’s a gorgeous and relaxing way to spend some time. We don’t surf but enjoyed watching the locals do their thing and listening to the waves crash to shore day and night.

Incredible location!

As far as Rincon goes, you can't beat Sandy Beach and this property is right in the middle of it just feet away from the water. The penthouse is rustic beach chic in all the right ways. The kitchen gave us a lot of flexibility w/ dining (esp w/ the kids) but there's also a nice charcoal grill/bbq area in the courtyard that we used a cpl of times for burgers and dogs and a surprising amount of dining options nearby. Courtyard area is great for hanging out and there's an outdoor shower for rinsing off after hitting the beach. Jim- the owner- was great and went above and beyond. All in all, it's a great deal for what you're getting and the perfect place for a chill getaway/hideaway. We'll be back!

Best Beach House On The Island!

This place is has it all. I've stayed in just about every house on the beach in Rincon and this has been my favorite. Location to me is everything. The beach here is perfect for swimming and surfing. There are no rocks or coral to get hurt on. Tamboo is right next door for mid day snacks and drinks. We had dinner there a few times to watch the sunset. Big kahuna bar is across the street and has a small store underneath with everything you might need for a weekend at the beach. The host (Jim) was on site and was so kind. He is from the states and speaks perfect english. He helped us out with some charcoal to grill steaks for my birthday. He also let us borow his surf board for a day which was awesome! This will be my preffered spot in Rincon for sure.

Beautiful property

The penthouse was the perfect size and location for our family of 4. There are restaurants and surf rentals within walking distance, as well as a shop for basic supplies (ice, etc) The property is beautiful, the view looked just like the pictures and the other guests staying below us were quiet which made it peaceful at night. The beach out in front was not ever crowded and the sunsets were beautiful! We cooked on the charcoal grill outside which was fun. The penthouse was super clean, spotless actually, the cleaning staff is superb! The apartment itself could use a little update, the master bathroom sink knobs are broken, so no hot water in the sink, but the shower worked just fine. The a/c in the bedrooms was awesome, a saving grace because the rest of the apartment doesn't have a/c, so it was very toasty in the main living area, which again wasnt a huge deal because we were outside all day, but we all gatheredin the master at the end of the day just to get a break from the heat. I liked the location, easy to hit all of the main spots on our list!

Maintenace and Cleanliness

The apt lacks maintenace and proper cleaning. The front door opens with much difficulty. It locks, but it is not secure. The floors were wet and slippery from the ocean spray coming from the opened balcony doors. The kitchen ceiling had two water leaks from the rain. The owner had motion sensored flood lights in all rooms, and it took us sometime to figure out how to turn these off. The couches and decorative cushions are old and had a bad odor from high levels of humidity. The beds, sheets and pillows were humid and had same bad humidity odor. The ceiling fans had a crust of dust build up. Although the owner was pleasant and welcoming upon our arrival, he stopped responding to our requests for assistance or information regarding lights and kitchen utencils. The drinking glasses and available forks and knives needed washing before use. We were suppose to stay for four nights, but due to a late flight into San Juan on Thursdsy, we arrived on the second day on Friday. We stayed only the one night and left Saturday by 10: a.m. Due to the unsatisfactorial conditions of the unit, we are requesting a refund for three nights, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Perfect beachfront stay

Pelican Point was everything we hoped for and more. Spacious accommodations, queen bed in the master suite, with 2 twins, and a bunk bed in the guest room. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was excellent. The courtyard had everything you need. Hammocks, lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs, outdoor kitchen? Covered seating for dining or visiting. Then there’s the beach. We visited many beaches in the area only to find so many of them with rocky conditions. This beach is true to its name…. Sandy Beach! You know it’s good when you have so many locals visiting! Last but not least was the attention Jim gave us. He was so prompt and thorough with his replies. Like we were the only people in the world. He gave us great directions, great food options, and responded to our every need. We look forward to visiting again. Hopefully soon!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because I could wake up, set up in bed and look over all the area waves then decide to surf or role over and go back to sleep. Plus, this is the beach where all the locals from PR come for their vacations because of the vibe that exists here in Puntas/Sandy Beach.

What makes this property unique

Sandy Beaches on beachfront Penthouse with a gated private courtyard, Perfect for weddings and events. A Frame ceiling, Spanish tile floor, ceiling fans in every room, huge double sized balcony hangs over the beach. One of the only rentals where you can see the entire beach area.
