Oceanfront Villa Wtih Pool, Gazebo, And Bluff Sun Deck

Thanks so much for spending such a memorable event in your lives at our home. We have just upgraded our kitchen with a new refrigerator, a few odds and ends, and finally, all new pots and pans. Thanks for the advise. We always appreciate and try to accommodate our guests needs and concerns as they are our first priority. We again, thank you for choosing Rincon to celebrate your husbands 30 birthday and look forward to seeing you again in the very near future!

"This house was amazing! The location was perfect, the waves were perfect for surfers as they got waves everyday and the Tamboo restaurant was just a stroll down the beach. The size of the house was incredible, we were able to fit 12 people comfortably in the home. The owner, Kristine, was very helpful in answering all our questions we had before getting there.The only suggestions for the owner would be to upgrade a few things in the house such as the appliances and a few things in the kitchen. Other than that the house has everything you need. We were able to cook great meals every night for our group and the grocery store is about 10 minutes away. One of my favorite things about this house was the deck upstairs!! The views of the ocean and the sunset are breathtaking. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing vacation in a beautiful home. I know we will all be back to this house again!!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 04/11/2012 (HomeAway Review)

"This place is absolutely perfect for large groups looking for a beautiful, relaxing, spacious home on the beach. The location is perfect (literally on the beach), and the variety of outdoor deck spaces let you find privacy if you need it. At the same time, the common-spaces are enormous and great for entertaining and gathering. Restaurants and bars are walking distance and a lot of fun. The owner was very nice and responsive and the property manager came by and took care of a couple of small issues. We will definitely return!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 03/20/2012 (HomeAway Review)

Sean,

"We just returned from our fourth vacation at Coralina Del Mar! We have come back four years in a row for many reasons…a few of them include: • The location is the best on Sandy Beach…so close to everything, yet very quiet/private. The beach is literally just down a short set of stairs, and several of our favorite restaurants and bars are just a 3-5 minute walk. • We love many aspects of the house, but our favorite part is the large sun deck. The first thing we all do every morning is get coffee and sit on the deck to watch the waves and surfers...no better way to start any day as the views are just amazing. • Kristine is easy to work with and she always ensures our visit goes smoothly…each year we ask her for help with small extra services and she is always happy to assist. We highly recommend Coralina Del Mar and look forward to returning next year. Mike -- Stamford, CT" - Owner Submitted Review, , 11/14/2011 (HomeAway Review)

Mike and guests,

"We spent a week her in February of 2011 and loved it! The beach is beautiful and the views from the house are amazing. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to cook. I agree with the reviewer that commented that the photos don't do it justice. The pool is really small but nice to have when the ocean was rough. The decks/ outdoor areas are beautiful and we spent most of our time outside. There were several restaurants within walking distance which was great. This is a wonderful place to relax. The house and beach were so nice we rarely left. The owner was quick to respond to emails and returned our security deposit promptly. Fortunately we did not have any reason to call on the property manager but he was friendly and prompt to check us in and out of the house. All in all a great vacation. We would recommend this property and hope to return." - KMI, , 03/13/2011 (HomeAway Review)

Thank you so much for choosing our home for your vacation destination in Rincon. We are so happy that you found it to be relaxing and more than you thought it would be. We look forward to serving you again sometime in the near future.

"We were impressed the minute we drove up to the home. The views were spectacular. We were able to enjoy both the sunset and sunrise which were both amazing. The home was very clean and kept. We especially loved our private pool, the large gazebo with its hammocks, and the multiple decks where we could feel the ocean breezes. I would definitely recommend this home to single or multiple families wanting to getaway to this beautiful island." - Jewels, , 09/13/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Julie and Dan,

"A truly unique property. Built into the landscape with stunning views and perfect peaceful location. Very short walks to sea-side pubs and eateries. Teenagers loved the beach at your front door." - alfred, , 08/28/2010 (HomeAway Review)

"We began planning a trip to Puerto Rico for our extended family group last winter, and our wish list included being on the beach, in one house and hopefully having a pool available. Coralina del Mar had all of these options, but was on a part of the island we had rarely passed through in previous trips as we usually stayed in one of the San Juan luxury hotels in Condado or Isla Verde. The pictures and reviews on the home convinced us to book the house regardless of the location, and are we ever glad we did. The setting at the “Point” and the physical grounds of the home were absolutely gorgeous. We were a party of fifteen, four different families with seven adults and eight grown “children” most of whom were 16 and older. We came away very impressed with how much community space the house had. The deck, the gazebo, the beach, and three different living areas all contributed to a sense of never being crowded. There are a number of beach bars and restaurants either within walking distance or a short drive (up the hill) that you can enjoy, although we used the kitchen amenities and outdoor grill extensively during our stay. We found the kitchens, baths, and living spaces very well equipped and furnished. Plenty of outdoor seating as well with deck and beach chairs aplenty. Sandy Beach during this time of the year was very safe and clean, with just enough waves to make it fun to body surf, boogie board etc. You can rent equipment just down the beach from the house. Rincon is a small town, and the businesses are fairly spread out, but we were able to find pretty much anything we needed for the stay. We found that Aguada shouldn’t be overlooked as it also had some nice shops, stores and restaurants (El Galleon on the beach!), and Mayaguez was about a half hour drive for big city amentities, shopping, etc. I’d definitely suggest a road trip to the Camuy caves (90 minutes) which were amazing to see and easily accessible for young and old alike. All in all, a great vacation home for a large group gathering. It would also seem to serve a smaller group well, using either the upper or lower spaces which are separately contained units. The owners were gracious and helpful with suggestions of local activities, and the property manager was very attentive to any need that may have arisen during our stay. We can’t wait for an opportunity to visit Coralina del Mar again!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 06/30/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Don and Family,

"Coralina Del Mar is an experience our family will never forget. The house, the location, and the outdoor living areas are exceptional. Our large group included three generations of our family and the experience offered something great for all them. From the laid back relaxation of the seemingly endless decks and patios, to the nightlife of a couple local bars and restaurants within walking distance, there is truly something for everyone. Couple that with a two step walk to beautiful Sandy Beach and you have all the right ingredients for the perfect vacation for any group. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. The owners were great to deal with. We can’t say enough good things about it. Can’t wait to go back." - blank, , 06/17/2010 (HomeAway Review)

We are thrilled that you and your family had such a great time! We do hope that we get to see you again in the near future!

"My favorite part of the house was all of the outside space. The house has a fantastic covered porch with hammocks, plenty of seating space and a gas grill as well as a lot of deck space to sun bath. The top deck has a fantastic view of the ocean. This house was perfect for our large group." - KatieMc, , 03/28/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Katie,

"We rented this house with another family and enjoyed the beach views: surfers by day and sunsets at night. Central location was convenient for all our activities. House was in great shape and the owners responsive to our questions. They provided great suggestions for activities during our visit as well. House is great for groups who want to be together, but there is enough space to have time to yourself as well." - Owner Submitted Review, , 03/09/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Diane and Crew,

"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!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 02/22/2010 (HomeAway Review)

We are so happy that the house fulfilled everyone's needs! It's wonderful that you found our little piece of paradise just what you wanted and needed. It was a joy working with you and we so look forward to your return when your New England weather turns cold again.

Lynn,

"After seeing this property from the beach on my last trip to Rincon, I knew that we would have to stay there when we returned. So I found the property on line and booked it for my family and friends. The pictures do not do this property justice! The outdoor living space was unbelievable...we spent most of our time here! The location is unbeatable. So private and great location right on Sandy Beach. We are already planning a return trip. We will definitely be back! I already miss my morning coffee on the patio and my daily dips in the pool with my son. Thanks so much Rusty and Kristine! What a gem you have!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 02/15/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Thank you for all of your help for the past 11 months, you made our dreams come true!!! The trip to the waterfall in San Sebastion was breathtaking and the lunch at The Lazy Parrot, everyone truly enjoyed! Will will most definitly be back!!!

Gina and Joey,

"A group of 12 of us, friends and family had a fantastic vacation here, after a very long 30hours of travelling from the UK our first impressions of carolina del mar was superb.A lovelly quiet location right on the beach where you can just chill and soak up the beutiful views, local restaurants within walking distance also excellent.A short drive into Rincon was the place to get provisions. We done plenty of sight seeing around and about, however the best part of the stay by far was on our last day when Rusty took us to a water fall where only the locals knew of its location, it was truelly fantastic, swimming in the lagoon, climbing and jumping in, swimming into caves etc, and it did not finish there Rusty took us on a scenic tour across the moutain back towards Rincon stopping at a lovelly bar for refreshments. I can only conclude that if you choose this for your destination you wont be dissappointed. Rusty,Kristine and their children are all lovelly people and really made us feel welcome, and was always at the end of a telephone if they were needed. It's a place i would like to return to in the future." - M.A.C, , 01/12/2010 (HomeAway Review)

"The photos of Coralina del Mar don't even come close to capturing the beauty of this exquisite beach front home. The views of both beaches from the many decks and verandas are spectacular. The house is extremely well equipped and very tastefully furnished. It worked out extremely well for our group of 16. Even though we were a large group, the house is nicely separated so that everyone can get away to a quiet place when needed, yet there are ample communal spaces for large sit down dinners. The owners have obviously spent time thinking carefully about all the amenities guests might require. There was nothing missing that we needed or wanted. It was such a pleasure to work with the owners Kristine and Rusty. Their suggestions for making my daughter's birthday a special celebration were invaluable, and Kristine was happy to make all of the arrangements on our behalf! We found them both to be extremely professional - truly a pleasure to work with. Thanks to them for all of their hard work to ensure that our daughter and her friends had a vacation that they will never forget. We would return to this exact same home again. It is a great home in a fun and beautiful location. Truly a slice of paradise. We are so glad we got to enjoy it over New Year." - Owner Submitted Review, , 01/12/2010 (HomeAway Review)

Mike and Jan,

"This was our 2nd visit to Coralina Del Mar -- and our decision to come back a second time was easy! (This is an annual trip for a group of a dozen friends and we have selected Rincon and this property in 2008 and 2009) * First, the house is very nicely furnished and well equipped -- everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was there. The 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms gives us plenty of room to spread out, but also has great common areas under the gazebo and on the large upper deck for everyone to hang out together. * Second, the location and views are outstanding -- it is very convienient to walk just a few steps to Sandy Beach and driving into Rincon for groceries or shopping is also very easy. We walked to several bars/restaurants down the street which were very convenient on the nights we did not want to cook at the house. * Third, Kristine is easy to work with and she took the time to ensure several special requests for our trip were handled with care. * Lastly, we love the fact that we can just show up at the house and be ready to relax with friends and enjoy the beautiful house and beach. I am happy to recommend Kristine and Coralina Del Mar to anyone considering a vacation rental in Puerto Rico." - SPEAK2ME, , 11/17/2009 (HomeAway Review)

"My girlfriend and I stayed on the top unit of Coralina Del Mar over Labor Day week and had an incredible time. The house is absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable and well maintained. The beds were as comfortable as sleeping at home. We loved being able to go out and have our morning cup of coffee at the top of the sun deck and take in the incredible view of the ocean and watch and listen as the waves crashed into the rocks right below the deck. Truly amazing!! You literally can go from a spectacular view of the ocean from the top the deck to walking down the steps and being right on the beach. Very well layed out. We especially loved the huge gazebo and either sitting out there or laying out on the hammocks enjoying the ocean breeze. VERY relaxing!! Kris and Rusty were very attentive and made you feel as if you were family. They checked on us numerous times to make sure all our needs were met. Kris and Rusty, thank you both very much for everything. We'll definitely be back to Coralina del Mar and would recommend it to anyone." - Patmac, , 09/13/2009 (HomeAway Review)

Patrick and Romi,

"My family and I, a total of 17 including 7 children, just returned from our amazing stay at Coralina del Mar. I can say that for 6 nights we lived in paradise. The views from the sun deck are breathtaking. Waking up every morning to the sounds of the waves and falling asleep on the hammocks with the cool breeze from the ocean are memories that will keep our family coming back. The house is gorgeous, well kept, and extremely accommodating. The layout allowed us to enjoy each others' company while simultaneously giving us much needed privacy when needed. The rooms are spacious with sufficient storage space, the bathrooms are sizable and the kitchens are more than enough to put together a delicious family dinner (thanks mom). Kristine's attentiveness to her guests is a rare commodity. In an era where customer service is left to automated machines it was great to experience extraordinary attention to our needs. Kristine and Rusty, thank you for making this trip one that will live in our family's history for ever. See you soon. May God bless you and your family.

Raquel,

"My husband and our two adult children spent spring break in Puerto Rico and stayed at the Coralina Del Mar home. It was beautiful, impeccably kept and had everything you could ever want or need in a vacation home. First off, the property is built on a point that starts literally at the sand and there is a wonderful deck that rises to a spectacular vista with a 270-degree view of ocean and beaches -- truly amazing. The deck is furnished with great seating and hand-made lounge chairs. I enjoyed the cool breezes up there as well as the quiet. For beach-lovers, the property is literally three steps from one of the prettiest beaches around. We sat on the sand and watched the numerous surfers catch some intense waves. The property features a wonderful tiled pool to cool off when you get too warm. It has a shaded and thatched cabana with hammocks swinging with the breezes. Perfect for when you've had too much sun for the day and could use a relaxing siesta. The kitchen is fully stocked and well appointed. We stayed in the three-bedroom property and it was so comfortable. Each of our kids had their own rooom and bath. The master bedroom sports rich mahogany furniture and more than enough space to store anything and everything. We met the owners, Rusty and Kris, and they were incredibly nice and accommodating. They helped us find great snorkeling areas and they called to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they've put a lot of time and energy in making this property the diamond that it is. They're efforts have not gone unnoticed, that's for sure! I would recommend this property to anyone who adores beautiful views, spacious and clean accomodations and who are used to the finer things in life. This place is amazing. C and J ( and J and M too!)" - Rum-runners, , 03/29/2009 (HomeAway Review)

We are so happy that you and your family had a wonderful time. We look forward to having you back again soon!

"We already loved Rincon, but this home made our stay memorable. It is located right on an ideal stretch of beach, perfect for surfing, sunbathing or swimming (on calmer days). Every morning we would wake up to amazing views from the living room or outside on either the lower or upper decks. The house has everything you could ask for and even came equipped with toys for our young children and a pool. The homeowners also provided us with a pack & play, highchair, and baby gate. We stayed in the bottom half of the house. It is well maintained and large enough to accommodate two couples with one small child each. When you are here you will feel comfortable and relaxed. Your days can be spent sunbathing on the beach or lazing around in the pool. We ate out most meals, but the house has a great kitchen and dining area. There are many great restaurants in walking distance and others are only a short drive away. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable vacation and cannot wait to come back. We want to thank Rusty and Kristine for making this experience so amazing!! You have such a beautiful home." - Owner Submitted Review, , 03/22/2009 (HomeAway Review)

"We rented the bottom floor of the house with another couple and we each had one young child. The house was perfect for us because it was spacious and equipped with everything we needed, inlcuding highchair, pack and play and even a baby gate! There were also some toys that were much appreciated by the kids. The beach was spectacular and the pool was great too! It was walking distance to fantastic bars and restaurants so we didn't have to get in the car very often. The house was wonderfully quiet and the view from the upper deck accessible from both the top and lower units was amazing. The house was furnished beautifully and comfortably and the outdoor shower was great too. The house was the perfect place for us and we enjoyed our week there immensely!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 03/13/2009 (HomeAway Review)

"Our group consisted of my wife & myself, three adult children, their two spouses, and three grandchildren. The occasion was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. After exhaustive research we settled on Coralina Del Mar. From the first contact with Kristine to the last goodbyes with Elier their property manager, the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. We had great plans to travel and visit several locations. Ultimately we stayed in the Rincon and San Sebastian areas enjoying the shopping, beaches and this beautiful home. I echo past reviews in that pictures cannot do justice to the home, it's location and the beauty that surrounds it. Our two granddaughters played for hours with the toys and dress-up clothes that Rusty & Kris have in the home. We enjoyed relaxing moments on the beach, on the deck overlooking the beach and ocean, or relaxing in a hammock or even sitting in the home overlooking the beach area. The pool is not large, but perfect to play in. We rented all three areas of the house. The home is built in such a way that you can hardly tell anyone is using the other parts of the house. Great soundproofing. We took a day to visit a waterfall in San Sebastian with a Puerto Rican friend. Rusty even offered to take us there (he is from San Sebastian.) Highly recommend you take an afternoon and go there. Little bit of a hike, but my wife navigated it just fine and she won't take many moderate trails. May be next to impossible to find if you don't get directions. Our sons used their time learning to surf. There are great areas to do just that in the area. Elier can help you with contacts. Steps beach took all of 5 minutes to get to. Great place to play in the water, snorkel or just relax. Of course, since the house is already on Sandy beach, you could spend several days just playing there. All in all the property was perfect. Kristine & Rusty were awwesome. Elier was always helpful and attentive. Thanks for meeting and exceeding our expectations." - bkerock, , 02/26/2009 (HomeAway Review)

Bryan,

"We spent a delightful week at this villa over Christmas. We rented the two units on the top floor, which were ample for our family of five. The location is just spectacular, and the owners have done a great job of maximizing the utility of the outside space. If you want a location with dramatic ocean views, yet walking distance to numerous restaurants, this is the place for you." - Owner Submitted Review, , 01/02/2009 (HomeAway Review)

To the Scabble addicts,

"Coralina Del Mar is an amazing spot... by far the nicest around! We rented the entire house for a company vacation. The house greatly exceeded our expectations! We were able to accommodate our large group all in one spot without feeling cramped. You are right on the beach and have an amazing view from all of the three decks. The furniture and amenities are even perfect for this place. The house makes you feel like you are in a high end resort that feels like home. The way the house is divided offers all its guests space to all gather together and space to get away from everyone. There are a few places within walking distance for drinks and food, which make this place even more relaxing and convenient. If you are interested in surfing lessons, call Rincon Surf School. They taught our whole group and we had an amazing time! Kristine, Elier and Laly (not to mention everyone we met in Rincon) were extremely friendly and great to work with. Our group can't wait to visit Coralina Del Mar again!" - FCM, , 12/11/2008 (HomeAway Review)

Liz and crew,

"Leave it up to our friend Mike to find this gem of a vacation home. We rented the whole house for a surprise three person birthday getaway. We had enough space to spread out within the grounds but at the same time found the pool, gazebo and cliff side patio a place all eleven of us could easily gather to hang out. To be able to admire surfers from the cliff side, walk easily to a beach, have our own kitchen, sleep soundly to the waves, and relax in a beautiful, clean, eco-friendly home was a vacation we will come back again and again for!" - Owner Submitted Review, , 11/12/2008 (HomeAway Review)

We are so happy that Mike's hard work paid off. It was a pleasure to have all of you at our home and we hope to see you back very soon.

"Each year our family and friends seek new locations to vacation. Kristine and her home provided an excellent opportunity for us. An excellent location and the property and views were simply wonderful. The experience was all and more that Kristine discussed with us. Kristine was always available to answer my many questions during the planning process and made sure all of our needs were met during the stay. I measure a vacation by my memories and smiles after the fact. This experience causes me to smile every time I think of our vacation and the memories will last forever. It was a vacation experience where even doing the laundry was an experience worth remembering and a cause for enjoyment. We wish our visit could have been longer." - Year, , 07/30/2008 (HomeAway Review)

Dan, Pam, family and friends,

"We came to celembrate my father's 90th birthday and were absolutely spellbound by the accommodations provided. The pictures absolutely do not do this wonderful place justice. The furnishings were simple yet beautiful and so comfortable. The views from anywhere in the house were astonishing! We gathered under the gazebo and enjoyed the breezes as the younger children splashed in the pool. In the morning we had coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise and in the evening it was a cocktails and sunsets. What a wonderful place for a family gathering or wedding. We truly have many memories to take home with us. Thanks to Kristine and her family for the attentiveness and ease that got us to this destination. Their hospitality was second to none! We will definitely return soon!" - RTP, , 07/25/2008 (HomeAway Review)

Thanks so much for choosing our home to celebrate such a wonderful experience. We hope that you and your family have many happy memories for the years to come. We look forward to having you again!!

"Words cannot express the fabulous accommodations at Carolina Del Mar in Rincon, Puerto Rico. We stayed in the bottom portion of the house (3 bedrooms). It was equipped with everything anyone could need for cooking, making rum punch, or anything at all. Everything was very clean and organized. The proximity to and view of the ocean was incredible. Just step down to Sandy Beach or step up to the deck overlooking the cliffs and water. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the lanai and napped in the hammocks in the afternoon. We took advantage of walking to the two closest restaurants, Tamboo and Cafe Islena. Both were fabulous! We also drove into Rincon and looked around. It is very quaint. The best part was getting fresh fruit at a roadside stand or simply picking up mangoes off of the road itself! We rented equipment at Taino Divers' and snorkeled at Steps Beach. Fascinating! Kris, Rusty, and kids, thanks for a truly memorable vacation. You are the best! MaryKay and Joel Allentown, PA" - Owner Submitted Review, , 07/08/2008 (HomeAway Review)

"The accomodations at Coralina Del Mar are incredible! The place has all the luxuries of home in a beautiful, exotic setting. I really enjoyed spending time on the spacious deck overlooking the ocean...seeing the many surfers made me want to take up surfing. You have to see the thatch covered patio to appreciate the native charm it evokes. One of the nice things about the location is the closeness of quality restaurants and bars (within walking distance). This is a great place for a long vacation or just a long weekend that anyone would enjoy." - Owner Submitted Review, , 05/07/2008 (HomeAway Review)

"We just got back from one of the best vacations ever in Rincon, staying at the Coralina Del Mar! My husband turned 30, so I rented the entire house for 9 days and had 8 guests join us. The house is awesome! Everything is new and up to date..flat screen TV's , ipod stations, etc. It is literally ON the beach and has one of the best decks in Rincon, sitting right on the ocean. We would wake up and have our coffee up on the deck, watching the waves roll in. The house itself is fabulous. It was absolutely clean when we arrived, in all aspects. The house has everything you need. Really, the pictures do not do the house justice. The house is walking distance to many resturants/bars. We went out to lunch, dinner and drinks many a days & nights, good food, good drinks and fun times. We thought all the restuarants were great . Service is a little slow. The tapas restuarant, walking distance from the house, was probably our favorite. The kitchens in the house are fully equipped, so you can stay home and cook dinner as well, which we also did. The grocery store is about 15 min drive. Our guests were in their 20' & 30's. There were 2 children as well, ages 3 & 5. They loved the pool and it was great having direct access to the beach! We are big beach people and Sandy beach is great. Good for swimming, body surfing and surfing. The beach is known for its beach glass, tons of it! Snorkling at Steps Beach is a must. We rented our equipment at Taino's. Really nice employee their by the name of Dave. It's about a 5 min car drive. Speaking of car's, I would recommend renting a car and also flying into Aquidilla Airport. Alot of our guests flew into San Juan, which is fine, but a much longer drive. Rincon is not a fancy place, very laid back beach/surf town. It has the perfect local flavor so to speak, that is why we loved it. Kristine and her family were simply incredible. They are honest and very friendly people, who are there to make you have a wonderful vacation. We will be back to visit at their beach home again. I highly recommend this house. Please do not hestiate to contact me with any questions. Amy" - JAM, , 03/31/2008 (HomeAway Review)
