About this property

Beachfront Surf, Sandy Beach Apt A, Whales, Surf, Turtles

Standing a shell’s throw from the warm Caribbean waters, Pelican Point’s 5 Vacation Apartments are beachfront & on the famous Sandy Beach, the center of activities/beach life in Rincon. From the courtyard-level, second-story, and penthouse, guests looking to unwind will find themselves in the middle of the idyllic tropical scenery & their piece of paradise. We can assist in setting up day sailing tours, sunset cruises, and tours of the only US rain forest, along with special tours like Gilligan's Island and multiple huge waterfalls which are within an hour. The crystal clear summer ocean is great for swimming and snorkeling on uncrowded stretches of sand; brilliant sunsets are among Pelican Point's natural amenities. During winter months, Rincon has been deemed the “Maui of the Caribbean-surfing capital." Rincon features some of the most forgivable and unforgettable waves in the world. It is centered on a point that catches swells from two directions, with consistent offshore winds on the 2 points. The best waves occur from November through April. Wake up and look at the surf conditions without your feet ever touching the floor. Or set in the courtyard hammocks and watch surfers from around the world.

Our beachfront estate consists of 5 individual and completely private beachfront apartments; all have full kitchens equipped with microwaves, stoves, toasters, coffee pots, etc. The apartments are set up for 4 guests but can accommodate 5 (if families) and the penthouse is set up for 6. The penthouse consists of the entire top floor, has Spanish tile throughout, and has an A-Frame teak ceiling that doubles its overall feel. Each apt has a living room, TV, ceiling fans and opens onto your own private balcony which overlooks/joins the beachfront courtyard and Sandy Beach. Each bedroom has split unit ACs and ceiling fans. Each apt is set up the same, 2 small beds in one bedroom and a large bed in the master along with a futon sofa in the living room. The penthouse has 4 small beds and a queen in the master and has 2 bathrooms but double the size of the regular 4 apts.
Pelican Point is located in the middle of Sandy beach and where everyone wants to be. There are only 4-5 rentals on Sandy beach and besides one home, everything else is a 'hotel-style' room with a bed, bath, and coffee pot. After taxes and fees, they are about the same price or more as we offer our full 2 bedroom apartments. There are only 18 beachfront locations on all of Sandy Beach (known as the Fun Coast) and even fewer beachfront rentals.

The northern beach (Sandy Beach) of Rincon is where the locals come to vacation so make sure you book early, as it's typically booked months in advance. PP is perfect for weddings, birthdays, special events, and even office parties. This is the biggest, nicest beachfront/courtyard rental on Sandy Beach.

.
Activities: Horse-back tours along the beach, spectacular sunsets, rated 2nd best place for finding jewelry grade sea glass in the world, Whale watching, leather-back turtle nesting, hiking, mountain biking, caves, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, diving, and the best surf within 1,000 miles. Pelican Point hosted the 2010-2011 Rip Curl (top 100 pro-surfers) beach party during their world event; this was the only sanctioned Rincon event and what an honor!

We host lots of weddings that are held on the beach out front and typically the receptions are held in our beachfront, gated, and private courtyard for groups as large as 100. We also host business events, birthday parties, retreats, surf camps, or general celebrations which are held in the courtyard where huge BBQs are created on the large double BBQ-kitchen prep area. This is where most guests spend 85% of their awake hours, telling us they don't want to leave as they can see all of Sandy Beach, the nightlife, and everything happening from there. Often endangered Leatherback Turtles, the size of a VW bug-car nest step away. Watch the endangered Humpback Whales jump from the water while nursing their young from the comforts of your private balcony or in one of the lawn chairs/hammocks within the courtyard. We certainly invite you to look at any of the many customer reviews to see what past guests think and share this message and reviews with others in your party. Let us know how we can make this a trip you'll always cherish!

Paradise

Amazing location situated in a neighborhood that provided anything one could need for a relaxing stay. Within a 5 min. walk, one could get a coffee at a small Java shop, breakfast at a small breakfast shack with outdoor seating, basic amenities at a centrally located convenience shop, and a few evening/late night hangout options. The host Jim, was fantastic He was more than available to provide assistance or advice for anything you may need. He created an environment that was welcoming to all and made our first-time trip to Puerto Rico feel like home. Lastly, the strip of beach to abuts this property is postcard material. It’s beautiful. Thank you for the incredible experience Jim! Don’t pass a stay at this place up!

Great place on the beach

Everything about Pelican Point is great; steps from the beach, there is a laid back courtyard where Jim ( owner) introduced us to our neighbors and locals making for a fun couple of weeks checking out local restaurants, snorkeling, mountain biking, surfing, or just hanging out in the hammocks. Will be returning!

Piece of Paradise

We had an amazing week at Pelican Point. It was the perfect location to feel secluded. Yet close to many things to do. Jim went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The back “yard” was paradise. We spent every evening sitting in the hammocks and listening to the ocean. We enjoyed the outdoor grill area. It was a very safe area and we would walk the beach at night. It was not full of people, which we enjoyed. We are already making plans to go back! Definitely the place to stay if you’re staying on that side of the island.

beach bliss in paradise

Rincon is awesome, the property is great and the location can't be beat. Technically everything you need is in walking distance, (it is beach front), surf rentals, restaurants, coffee, bars. However, Rincon as a whole is worth exploring. That's where the great host Jim comes in. Super knowledgeable of the area, he will go out of his way to help you in any way and give you great recommendations. I will be back!

Amazing experience

Amazing experience. Beautiful place, manager is always available in person or by phone for anything you need. Place is extremely clean and backyard, which is a common area, is well designed and equipped for a pleasant stay. Also, there's a restaurant next to the place (fence to fence). Beach is open sea which, in my opinion, makes it not recommended for little kids.

Great property

The property is in an amazing location with surf just a few meters from the end of the steps. Check-in was fast and easy and Carlos was very helpful. I stayed with my wife and two boys, but would say the unit is better suited for younger single visitors. It is right next door to the Tamboo Bar/Restaurant, so it is loud and generally in a loud neighborhood. While there are cups and plates, cookware and silverware is very limited., so cooking much presents challenges. If you want to hang out outside and enjoy the beach, it is a great place for you.

Pelican Point July 4th, 2019

Pelican point was a great beach experience. The location of the property is awesome. Carlos was amazing. From check in to check out he was great. The courtyard was a great place to hang out when not on the beach. We cooked outdoors in the courtyard. The bbq area was perfect. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We even roasted our own penil on the beach. This beach rental is exactly as described and did not disappoint. I cant stress enough how super kool Carlos was. He waited around for us cause we were late to check in. He gave us a quick tour of the apt, courtyard and beach. He made us feel welcome. Being able to wake up to the crashing of the waves was perfect. Everyone in the surrounding area were so nice. Pelican point is a great place to spend with the family during the week. Tamboo bar next door had great music and they closed at midnight. If your looking for a place on the beach to be with your family and have a great time. Pelican point at sandy beach Rincon is the spot to be. This is not a resort. It is not fancy. This is a down to earth, get salty and sandy place were we learned to appreciate the raw beauty of Rincon and life itself. As a dad it was great to see my kids off the damn cell phones. They had much to explore and learned that getting alittle dirty can be tons of fun.

Feb 2019 stay

Right on the beach and just as pictured -- beautiful sandy beach right down the steps! Great outdoor cooking area - but was in need of cleaning before use. Plastic lawn furniture quite weathered and covered with bird droppings. Interior was a bit dark and dreary but didn't spend much time indoors. Be warned no water heater - just a tiny unit on each shower had the provides warm water (at best) -- if pressure is turned very low. Cold water only for bathroom and kitchen sinks. Maintenance was not on site first two days. One of the two names and phone numbers on the VRBO site and contract (Elier I beleive) for maintenance and check out responded to text message stating he hasn't been the property maintenance/manager for quite some time so that needs to be updated. Other text message to the second number requesting maintenance wasn't received for some reason, so had cold shower the first two days - malfunctioning and leaky attachment to shower head that was supposed to "warm" the water did not work. Also beach items such as boogie boards and snorkel equipment was locked up and not accessible first two days since no management/maintenance person on site and no response to text message (not delivered for some reason). Once management (Carlos) was called rather than texting, response was very good and issue was resolved the following day. Noisy: Tamboo Bar right next door is VERY loud at night. One of the two bedrooms in Unit A has a hollow exit door facing Tamboo so it sounds like you are in the bar when you are in bed, loud music, yelling, hollering, beer bottles being dropped in garbage -- definite down side of Unit A. Don't plan to go to sleep before bar closing time -- or within an hour after as beer bottles are being thrown in the garbage and it sounds like it's literally in your bedroom. There is a phone number to call if it gets too loud, but it is the police and I don't imagine they are going to tell the bar patrons they cannot make noise do it's just a drawback of this location. Other than items mentioned, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it, with these things in mind!

you really can't beat the location of this property, literately walk outside into Tamboo and the beach is in your backyard. Its also nice to have neighbors, everybody was super cool. We ended up barbecuing and having dinner outside one evening, was really special. I would definitely come back and I would highly recommend this place.
