Mountaintop Villa with Spectacular Sunset View of Caribbean

Relax and feel the serenity that this breezy 3,000 sq. ft. mountaintop private home has to offer. New AC throughout the house along with high speed internet. Located in the southern part of Rincon, this warm and inviting villa has a spectacular view for 360 degrees of the Caribbean Sea. To the east lies the continuation of the small lush tropical mountain range on which our villa resides, and to the west lies the Caribbean Sea, with Desecheo Island in clear visibility.

Stand on two levels of large balconies and 1,500 sq. ft. of verandas and take in the aroma of the clean mountain air while listening to the chirp of the Coqui frogs or the sound of rain hitting the banana tree leaves. Watch the sun rise over the mountains in the morning, relax in the sun on our open veranda during the day, watch the sun set over the ocean in the evening, and look up to see the most magnificent view of the night sky that Rincon has to offer while chilling in the underground heated jacuzzi spa!

The main floor of the house is spacious and breezy. Open the windows and let the trade winds gently sweep through. The ocean can be seen from the living room, dining room, kitchen and downstaira bedrooms. Fast speed Wifi internet service and a 52" flatscreen, smart tv in living room. Full bathroom and bedroom with king bed are also located on this floor and AC throughout. Walk down the beautifully adorned stairs into the bottom floor where two bedroom suites, each with queen bed and a day bed (twin). The queen beds are on an inlaid platform so that the guest can see the ocean, through French doors, while resting in bed. Full bathroom, with a view of the Caribbean from the shower, and AC on this level also. Both verandas are accessible from both bedrooms.

Our villa is a 5 minute drive to the beaches, restaurants, and bars, and is located in a safe neighborhood. Nearby airports and major cities are Aquadilla (30 minutes), Mayaguez (20 minutes) Ponce (1 hour) and San Juan(2 hours). The city of Mayaguez and all it has to offer is close by. Surfing and snorkeling beaches are a 10 minute drive away. Excellent cell phone reception.

This property was beautiful, spacious, and well maintained. The views were amazing. We had wonderful time relaxing out on the patio and watching the sunset from the hot tub. We were about 5-10 minutes from some local restaurants and around 20 minutes from the beaches.

SPECTACULAR HOUSE AND VIEWS
We had an amazing stay, Marias villa was one of the most beautiful rentals we've stayed at! House was super clean and well equipped. The views from the verandas were breathtaking, we so enjoyed our morning coffee while taking in the spectacular views of the ocean and the mountains, so peaceful! The bed/bedding was super comfortable too and house was beautifully furnished. Loved the jacuzzi at night! Popo was awesome and very helpful and brought us avocados from the property. Definitely recommend this beautiful place, cant wait to return! Next time will stay longer!!

Amazing house with the best views and close to town.
The house is amazing; the pictures do not do it justice. The views are amazing, even better than the photos suggest. We thouroughly enjoyed our time on the mountain and only wish that we had stayed longer. Maria was an excellent host with fabulous taste in decorations and art throughout the house. We hope to return later in the year.

Fantastic View/Location!!!
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at this property. If you're not familiar with the typical mountain roads in Puerto Rico, it can be a little intimidating. Rest assured that once you reach the house, you won't be disappointed! Also, the owner and maintenance were very cordial and attentive to any of our needs - although all of our needs were met on the front end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY!

Rincon Mountain View Villa
Property was exactly as described and was very nice. Huge patio/whirpool/bar area outside. Beautiful mosaics outside. Unfortunately PR was in the middle of extremely terrible heat wave and, even with a great breeze, it was unbearably hot in main house common areas. Bedroom ACs did decent job to make bedroom cool enough for sleeping. Maria was very responsive host and Popo was very nice with any issues that came up.

The house and property are beautiful, and the view is amazing. Short drive to the town and beach. Highly recommended. One note: those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with "mountain driving" may be put off by the narrow road, inclines, and hairpin turns. We did find a slightly longer route to/from town that allowed us to avoid the sharpest turn.

We will be back!
The ride up to the property, like all drives in the hills of Puerto Rico, could be a little tricky – but once you knew where you were going it was no big deal. The house was as advertised, the outdoor space especially was fantastic. The Hot Tub for cool plunges during the day or warm relaxing during the evening was perfect, and of course, the views – the unbelievable panoramic views of Rincon, and the ocean all the way from the north side Sandy Beach area down to Stella. The house was clean and well equipped. We spent a month, so we used the kitchen, grill and laundry many times. The owners were incredibly responsive to any questions as was Popo who brought us delicious bananas. Just sitting on the veranda watching the hawks, doves and other birds swoop around was a joy. You also get an occasional visit from a chicken, lizard or coqui, which kept our little dog very entertained. We will certainly be back, we already miss it.

Rincón with a view
The mountain top house had a great view with a nice jacuzzi in the terrace. Unfortunately, there was a heat wave during our stay so the upper level of the house was hot. The ac unit in the master bedroom was outdated and did not cool the room enough. There is no ac unit in the living room. Fans were provided, but was still not able to keep the house cool upstairs. Home owner was made aware, but they did not check in on us again to make sure we were comfortable. The house was also in need of a deep clean of the kitchen cabinets, floor, and outdoor furniture. Overall the home was good and had a nice view, but has room for improvement.

We Love Rincon!
This is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The listing is accurate, communication with the owner is excellent, it was the most well-equipped and supplied home we have stayed in in Puerto Rico. It is nicely decorated with a much higher quality of construction than usual as well. Quieter than some homes, the roosters are a little farther away. Close to town and beaches with a fun drive to get to it that is part of the adventure. The google pin supplied led us right to the house, HOWEVER, I would recommend calling to meet the caretaker Popo in town and have him lead you if your first visit is in the dark. After that it's not a problem. This was our 8th trip to P.R., 4th to Rincon, we would definitely rent this place again. We usually stay on the ocean, this was a nice change of pace! Two levels, great decks and porches, there is a door between the two downstairs bedrooms but you have to walk through one to get to the other. No problem, just put the late sleepers in the farther room.

The Best Mountain House with Ocean View
The house is beautiful!!! The view is SPECTACULAR! Mountains and ocean..... The groundskeeper Popo was so lovely and accommodating to meet us earlier than our scheduled check -in. Maria, the owner of the property was the greatest. She was kind and thoughtful and wanted to make certain that we didn't go without. Although we didn't need much of anything (considering the house was so well stocked for a vacationers happiness) she wanted us to know that she was just one phone call away away. The kitchen is stocked with every kitchen item needed if you want to make a meal., make coffee. Just bring the food. The area felt very safe, the music of the Puerto Rican frog (Coqui) was the best to fall asleep to. Then wake up to the sounds of the roosters in the far distant, and have coffee on the the massive balcony. Later take a dive in the Jacuzzi. Thanks Maria for sharing your a glorious house. You are a new friend.

If I could give more than five stars, I would
My wife, adult children and their significant others spent 6 wonderful nights at this lovely property. The house is magnificent and beautifully maintained. We didn't spend the first night eating off the floors, but we absolutely could have. The home has an incredible view for perfect sunsets. We saw whales from the beautiful deck! There is a nice hot tub that the "kids" loved. There are lots of well-maintained lounge chairs from which to enjoy the outdoors. They also have a very nice outside dining table that sits a lot and has a ceiling fan. The home is about a 15 minute drive from town, depending on who is driving. We did not want to be in town with the partying and noise and all that goes with it. This property is absolutely perfect for those that want to go to the beach, or west PR's many beautiful attractions but also want a quiet night's sleep. There are simply too many nice touches to list here. Everything from coolers and beach chairs to lots of towels and so much more. Not only was this easily the most value I got for my money in Puerto Rico but a bunch, but I cannot think of ever getting more for my money anywhere in my many years on this planet. This may be a little self-defeating in that we will be back, but if the owner is leaving a lot of money on the table. There are no two nicer people on the planet than the owner and the property manager. The kindness they showed will not be forgotten. They treated me like family. Stay here!!!

Beautiful house and view!
The owner Maria and property manager were very attentive to your needs and I am very pleased with them! The house is beautiful and is well equipped with everything you need! The view is phenomenal and the best part of the house is the terrace! We spent most of our time out there! The only negative thing was that the drive up and down the mountain was longer than 5 min for us it was more like 20 min. We were always on the go so we would be making that drive several times a day and it got old. Also the only place the wifi worked was in the master suite and in the living room if the master suite's door was open. (That is were the router is located). 5 ppl were sleeping downstairs and none of us were able to use our tablets which was a major bummer. We contacted Maria and she said she contacted the cable company and they said nothing was wrong with the service however the problem was never fixed. Overall I highly recommend this place if you are looking for peace and tranquility. The feeling I got sitting outside looking over into the wildlife and beach sitting on top of a mountain as I sipped my coffee was priceless.

Nice house, misleading description. Not ideal for couples.
The house is very cute - very well decorated and a gorgeous view from the many balconies and windows. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and dinnerware, and there was a good supply of bath towels. However, we felt the listing description of the home was a bit misleading about the location and the bedroom layout. The location shown in the listing is significantly different from the actual address, and the drive up the mountainside is fairly treacherous - extremely narrow roads, hairpin turns, and steep drop offs. We came in after dark the first night, and it was extremely difficult navigating the way up. The bedroom layout was also disappointing. The master is not the room shown in the listing - it's just a bedroom on the street side of the main level with no view or balcony. The actual photos in the listing are of a second story Villa which is blocked off for renter access. The remaining two bedrooms are on the lower level, and do not have a door between them; and the only way to access the far bedroom was to walk through the first bedroom. This would perhaps be okay for families, but was not ideal for couples as there was no privacy. Ultimately it was a nice house and the owner was very responsive, but we would not have booked it for our group of three couples had it been accurately described.

Incredible views
We vacationed in Puerto Rico for 3 weeks and stayed at numerous different types of properties (resorts, houses, bed and breakfasts, etc). This home was by far our favorite. It’s a beautiful drive through the mountains with an incredible view from both balconies. We decided to stay in for dinner most nights while here so we could enjoy the jacuzzi and gorgeous sunsets. Home was clean and spacious. The groundskeeper, Popo was also beyond kind and hospitable. He provided the warmest welcome and even brought bananas during our stay. Highly recommend!
