R HOUSE on Steps Beach in the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve

Relax at this award winning beachfront rental, located on Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, only 30 minutes from the Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla or 2 hours from the Luiz Munoz airport in San Juan.

The ground floor rental unit has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen and living room and outdoor dining that has ocean and sunset views. Air conditioning in all the bedrooms. Sleeps 4-6 people.

In the event of a water utility outage there are over 1000 gallons of cistern water that will flow into the property.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets every evening, world class snorkeling and scuba diving right in front of the house with turtles, exotic fish and the largest elkhorn coral reef in the Caribbean. Stunning views of Desecheo island, whale sightings occur throughout the winter months and world class surfing can be had at Tres Palmas Beach. Take a short walk to other surf spots such as Dogmans, Maria's and Domes.

Fall asleep in the outdoor hammock or enjoy organic herbs from R garden while barbecuing with friends and family in the backyard. Head out to the many local restaurants and bars within walking distance. If you are looking for something to do other than surf, try scuba diving, sailing, deep sea fishing, horseback riding, shopping, movies and many more activities within minutes of the house.

The property is pet friendly, but please one DOG only. You are required to keep your pet off the furniture and must pick up any mess left in the yard or surrounding area.

In case of a power outage the house counts with solar backup power.

Location! Location! Location.

This was my second stay at R House and it did not disappoint. The house backs up to a sweet little beach next to Steps beach. It’s perfect for lingering days and evenings enjoying the tide pools, snorkeling the reef and enjoying sunsets. The hosts have thoughtfully provided everything you need inside as well. Will definitely return!

This is a wonderful unit in an exceptional location. Quiet neighborhood right on the beach. Apartment was clean and tastefully appointed. Kitchen was well stocked and organized. Private back patio was perfect for hanging out and the beach was absolutely beautiful with a relaxed vibe. Great snorkeling right in front of the house on calm days. Great hosts as well. Hard to imagine anyone being in anyway disappointed with this rental.

Amazing location, super cute and comfy stay.

This place was tucked into a cute town on the surfing side of the island. Incredible beach step from the door for morning coffee. Walk to dinner or drinks. I highly recommend. We had my spouse and I, 3 teens (2 boys 1 girl). We were all pretty comfy.

Great for beach vacation--not a luxury listing

This is a great place to stay that's literally right on the beach. Lots of perfect amenities like an outdoor shower, tons of beach towels, a boogie board, an outdoor patio. But note that the stay is not luxury, the kitchen is basic, the furniture is basic. If that's what you're looking for (amazing beach access, basic furnishings), you honestly couldn't find a more perfect place. We loved it.

Just Perfect

The property is incredible. It is simple, perfectly nestled amongst the palms and lush vegetation that lines the shoreline. The condo itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Open windows with the pleasant sea breezes during the day and air conditioning provided for the bedrooms at night. Walk out the back door and you are just a few steps to the beach. There is great snorkeling down the beach at steps, tide pools for the babies, and scenic views everywhere you look. You can cook at home or have dinner in the nearby town. The grocery store was close by and offered everything you need. The owner was gracious and helpful. Being environmentally conscious was a bonus. Thank you for providing a safe, wonderful location for our family vacation.

Great Beachside Getaway!

We had a fabulous stay at the R-House. The unit was spacious and very well stocked with everything you need for the house and the beach. We loved the location on Steps Beach, where you are only a short walk from a coral reef for snorkeling (gear provided with the house!). And the house is a short walk or drive from a number of other beaches and food options. Very quiet neighborhood made for a relaxing visit in Rincón.

Great place great location

This was a great place for us to stay for a short beach vacation. Very well equipped, comfortable bed and lots of good amenities. We enjoyed our stay and puppy chulas visits were awesome. Resident dog! The owners were friendly. The location was nice for walking and laying on beach but not ideal for swimming in the ocean. The beach front was rocky and difficult to get in the water. Not too far if you didn’t mind walking for easier access. There are sea urchins all over the rocks too which is part of what made it difficult to navigate. But the house was great and we had a good time. Also to note air conditioning was in bedrooms but no where else - just in case that’s necessary for some. It had a great island life vibe though. Just wanted to be honest about things if there are people looking for something specific.

Great Location

What a wonderful time we had in Rincon. R House is perfectly situated... snorkeling, swimming, beaches, bars and surfing are all within a few short steps. After a long day in the sun, it was great to return to the house to lounge in the hammock or listen to the surf by candlelight on the terrace. This is a great place with fabulous property managers.

Charming little house with amazing snorkeling out back!

We sure enjoyed our four nights here! Family of four, kids 12 & 7, loved loved the serenity and snorkeling! The house had everything we needed aside from the wi-fi issues (I'd let the owner know if this is really important/necessary for you, but our phones worked on the network, just slow!). The locations was walking distance from a couple good restaurants.

Beautiful

This is a great location. The ocean was quite rough for our young kids, but there is a great, calm bay just down the beach for swimming and even a little snorkeling. This rental is the lower level of an occupied second story. The occupants upstairs were very kind and helpful, but we also heard them and their dog upstairs most of the time that we were in the home.
