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.

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.

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.

Absolutely amazing experience. The morning coffee on the beach with the soothing waves. Snorkeling around the extensive reefs of the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve right from your backyard! Conveniently walk for coffee or smoothies. Excellent access to surf at Sandy Beach or Domes. This beautiful home has everything you need. The owner was so friendly and helpful. I will miss RHOUSE :)

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.

This is a little paradise in the land of enchantment. We enjoyed our stay, only steps away from Steps beach.. you get to see the diverse beauty underwater. The place on its own can be a great to relax and rest irrespective of whether you choose to explore west of PR or just stay in Rincon!

Everything about this property was fantastic! Exactly as advertised and perfect location. The host has done really thoughtful things throughout to make your stay so enjoyable such as beach chairs, cooler for use, snorkeling equipment, games and the best hammock perfect for napping!

Everything we'd hoped for!

The house was awesome. We loved being right on the beach and being able to relax in the tide pools at low tide. The backyard was so lush and peaceful. Loved the book on the coffee table filled with all of the info needed to make the most of our time there. Great restaurants and the most beautiful beaches close by. Had a great dinner at Estela and The Beach House, which had amazing sunset views. Would love to return!

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.

Gorgeous Beachfront Property.

Lovely beachfront home only a stones throw from the water in one of the nicest towns in Puerto Rico. Gorgeous Coral Reef to snorkel in right off of the beach and dining options a ten minute walk from the house. The hosts Allison and Leon are true "artisans" in the game and make sure everything you could need on your stay is available. They even made an awesome book detailing everything from best beaches to surf at to dining and entertainment available in the area. Stayed with my Wife and three daughters and everyone had a blast! Thanks for a fantastic stay!

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.

Fun stay in Rincon

We loved our stay here. The sound of the surf was hypnotic. The location was central but also private. Easy to get everywhere in Rincon. The location within the marine park is so beautiful. Surf was high and rough so no swimming or snorkeling but at low tide we could walk the beach in both directions and we did every morning. House was clean, secure, well-stocked, and comfortable. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Yaneira Miranda

Host profile image
Leon has lived in Rincon for well over 20 years and has loved every minute of it. After moving from NYC to the beaches of Rincon, the view of palm trees never gets old. Life doesn't get any better than this. Being able to swim or surf everyday at Steps, Tres Palmas, or any of the beautiful surf spots, hear the coqui frogs singing at night with the waves crashing on the beach, watching the most spectacular sunset every night, and eating fresh fruit that falls off the trees in the neighborhood is amazing

Why they chose this property

This house has everything you could ask for when on an island vacation.
#1 VIEWS: incredible ocean views, stunning sunset views, and views of Desecheo Island. #2 LOCATION: Located in the Tres Palmas Marie Reserve on Steps Beach, which happens to be the prettiest beach in town.
#3 PROXIMTY TO OCEAN: No need to get in the car to go swimming, snorkeling or surfing! Just walk out the door and onto the sand.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, peaceful neighborhood, Steps from the beach. Starry nights, shooting stars, sunfilled days, gorgeous sunsets. World class snorkeling and scuba diving right in front of the house. On the rare occasion some of the biggest surfing waves in the world. Hawksbill turtles living on the reef in front of the house. Swimming with turtles. Watching whales breach from the deck.
