I’d just like to start off saying that first hand reviews played a critical role in our process of choosing a vacation destination. The property and location are the top decisions that you must make. Starting with the property, ‘what you see is what you get’ with Puntas Stone Villa. The property is as advertised. Beautiful, private, secluded oasis…your own mini resort with Kalea and Santos acting as your personal concierges. I can’t say enough about how responsive they were. In addition they made you feel as if you were friends staying over for the week instead of clients renting their property. Be sure to use the GPS coordinates to make your way through the winding roads to the house and don’t be surprised if you drive right past the entrance. The view of the property from the street is very misleading, but don’t be discouraged. Just pull down the driveway, ring the bell, walk through the gate and I promise you your jaw will drop. Again, beautiful property and a home that was clearly built by a true artist and also decorated very tastefully. Now on to the location….Rincon is a sleepy little town in the country.

Head on down to the beach for a quick morning swim and enjoy reading a book or just watching the pelicans float along in the clear waters amongst the surfers. Back up to the house for a light breakfast…a smoothie that you can make yourself with the fresh fruits you pick from your very own garden. Now it’s time for some snorkeling over at Steps Beach. Just a short drive through the country roads, past the fields with cows grazing under the palm trees, you’ll find some of the best snorkeling directly from the beach. I’ve never seen so many schools of different types of fish swimming all around you. Getting hungry, there’s Steps Quick Lunch right there at the beach…try the pinchos and arepas, and don’t forget the coco frio. Next up, a trip to downtown Rincon, again just a short drive away. A quaint little town with a center square where you can go to a farmers market on Sundays and a craft market Thursday evenings. Don’t forget to stop in to Rincon Brewing Company where you can sample some local Puerto Rican craft beer and ta
