Excellent Place to Stay

We really enjoyed the home and especially the location. Saw Sea Lions and dolphins several times and the view of the water reflecting the full moon was terrific. Great site for surfing and boogie boarding, with continuous waves coming into the beach. The children would up finding a ton of seashells to keep as souvenirs. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Gorgeous Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Rincon. The house is quaint and older, as described. The location is second to none. We spent all day on the beach and the evenings on the patio! We had such a special vacation with our toddler. It was her first time at the beach and we made memories that will last a very long time!

Most adorable house/amazing location

What a great house - charming vintage 3 bed/ 2 bath. Beautiful private yard, amazIng beach front. The pre-teens had a great time with the board games, corn hole and the ocean. Well stocked kitchen. And it sounds silly since most guests will visit during the summer but the heating system is fantastic. The nights were chilly, but we were warm. Just lovely. wish we could go back again but this house is booked up forever - with good reason!

Location location location!

A great beach house right on the sand! Couldn’t ask for better. Paradise folks were absolutely wonderful. Only issue was that house really only has one adult useable shower. Second shower is way too small. So one shower makes things a bit harder. Definitely not a deal breaker. If you’re looking for comfort on the beach this is it!

Classic CA Beach house - ideal location for surfers

Great family trip with 3 teen boys who love the water. One bedroom away from the remaining two for quiet and privacy and a nice gathering area indoors for cooking, dining and vegging. The reason to stay here though is the incredible patio with world class surf out the back steps to play in and to watch. The swell was up the first 5 of 6 days and we just hung around and surfed and watched and relaxed post session. Met tons of nice people on the beach and went for long walks. Really a perfect vacation. It is not a home loaded with modern amenities or a fancy kitchen or a huge TV, but that is not why you want to stay at Rincon anyhow. Have fun!

Nice, but an older quirky house

Overall, this is a nice well-equipped property-- the terrace is the outstanding feature--but the bathrooms are tiny, the showers teensy, and some of the windows don't stay open unless you prop them up. Luckily we brought our own pillows as the ones supplied were tough foam. The queen sized bed listed in the primary bedroom felt smaller, definitely shorter. A request: please use laundry detergent without scent for those of us with perfume allergies.

Run Down and Funky

Sorry to leave a bad review but this house is dingy and funky. The pictures make it look much nicer than it really is. There is a very musty funky smell in the house that I couldn't wait to leave and I only stayed one night. My husband did not mind. The house is really in need of an update on almost everything, there are too many things for me to list. Best part of house is the beach. Property management company is great, everyone is nice. I travel all the time and have stayed at dozens and dozens of beach homes and understand that it takes a lot of upkeep however this house is not well kept and I would not recommend this home, nor would I ever stay here again. I understand the home is old but I own a historic home and that is not an excuse to keep the house in the condition it is in.

This is a spectacular setting. Relaxing and with constant entertainment dawn to dusk by surfers literally right off the patio. For those having trouble orienting the schematic, the queen bedroom opens onto the patio and ocean view. The king bed is off of the kitchen/laundry room and has a small bathroom with shower just outside the bedroom door. Both the twin bedroom and the king overlook a beautiful, fully enclosed front lawn with charming brick walkway, citrus trees, and Adirondack chairs. The beach makes for a perfect walk, but so do the neighborhood streets in the beautiful gated community. No need to bring beach toys for the kids, one of the trunk on the patio (just to the left by the walkway to the beach) is FULL of them. We will be back. Thanks for a great stay.
