About this property

Steps to the Beach. Pool, Jacuzzi, Terrace with views. Romantic. Kids welcome!

Why choose Suite 8? Because you need this vacation, and we want you to love it.

Right near a lovely, great uncrowded snorkeling beach.

Air conditioned and fully stocked with everything you'll need. Sheets, towels, pots and pans, beach chairs, PaddleBoards, gas grill, and much more.

See the ocean under the stars from our delicious, sparkling clean Jacuzzi on the private roof-top terrace.

The friendly Stella Community of Rincon has has had steady power and water since December 2017. We do have a back-up generator for major storms (PR is an island in the middle of the ocean!) You have our word.

Snorkel the reef right off our beach - gazillions of lovely fish. Or just have a swim at the beach, which is steps from our front door. Relax and enjoy the beauty. Play in the sand. (We provide beach umbrellas and beach toys for little kids). Watch the pelicans and the occasional whale!

Ours is the most spacious, well stocked, and most private of all the Wave Coast units. Our style is modern and minimalist, but cozy. We have solid wi-fi, so you can stay connected, (but we suggest you just go off the grid and enjoy!).

Including the roof-top terrace, Suite 8 is a spacious 3-story property (2100 sq.ft.), air conditioned throughout.

Upon your arrival, you will find an informative Guest Book that provides information about a wide variety of local attractions, excursions, beaches, restaurants, sports facilities, and resources.

The ground floor living space has 2 sofas and an easy chair, a flat-screen TV, coffee table, and sunny windows. From the living area, sliding glass doors open to the patio with dipping pool and picnic table. Kids and adults will love to cool off and play in the private dipping pool, which is crystal clear. The patio and dipping pool are yours alone, and the entire backyard area is fenced in.

Modern, well equipped kitchen with pots, pans, serving ware, wine and martini glasses, coffee pot, and tea kettle, cutlery, pretty dish towels, and every cooking tool you could need. You'll find sippy-cups and baby dishes. We supply paper towels and dish soap. There is a dining table with 4 chairs, as well as a "bar" with 2 stools. Upon your arrival, we provide coffee, and other basic supplies (sugar packets, salt, pepper, napkins, aluminum foil, etc. ) to get you started. And in case you're wondering, the tap water is fine to drink.

There is also a modern, tiled ½ bathroom on the 1st floor with toilet and sink and mirror.

On the 2nd floor, the large master bedroom suite is cool and comfortable. We recently installed a powerful, remote-controlled compression air conditioner so you can adjust the temp to your liking. There's also a door that opens to a small balcony looking out to our little street. We have a queen bed with a new mattress, large dresser with mirror, sunny windows, closet, luggage stands, 2 bedside tables with reading lamps, and a full modern tiled bathroom.

The second large bedroom has 2 queen beds, bedside tables and lamps, 2 closets, cool local art, and another full modern tiled bathroom, right beside it.

Both bedrooms have black-out shades so you can sleep in after the sun rises.

6 adults can easily stay and have plenty of space, but it is equally great for a small party of 2. Couples on honeymoon or romantic vacations will be delighted, as will smaller groups of travelers. We also love kids, and have 2 pac-n-plays, sippy cups, beach toys, and board games.

Bed sheets, bath towels, and beach towels are provided. We even have a "magic closet" with sample sized basic products that you may have forgotten (like mini-tooth paste tubes, deodorant, band-aides, etc).

Forgot to bring a book or finished the one you are reading? We have a small "library" that you can feel free to take a book or leave one for future guests. We even have books for little children.

Our gorgeous roof-top terrace has a private jacuzzi, gas grill, mini-fridge, table and chairs, lounge chairs, another bathroom, and ocean views. Great place for breakfast, an adult beverage, BBQ, or star gazing from the hot-tub.

Our large, private garage is stocked with paddle-boards, beach chairs and umbrellas, snorkel masks, and beach toys. There is a FULL SIZE washer and dryer, because having clean clothes is a non-negotiable!

Everything you need is within a mile or 2 of Suite 8: Downtown Rincon, Farmer's Market, Art Walk, coffee shops, delicious restaurants, a wine store, a local meat market, fruit vendors, food trucks, pharmacy, playground, a sports complex, and 2 modern grocery stores.

If you need any assistance, our gracious property manager is always available and only a phone call away.

Family vacation
The location was great! You are literally steps away from the beach. We spent a lot of time there. They have everything you need to bring to the beach. My son is 13 and we had a blast boogy boarding the waves. The roof top balcany was amazing to sit on and watch the sun rise. I highly recommend this place l

Pictures don't do it justice!
Upon arrival our expectations were exceeded. The property was spotless and very well appointed with high quality amenities. The location is unbeatable! A two minute walk to a really nice little beach. You are also located close to some other really nice beaches. There is plenty to see and do in the area and this place puts you really close to all of it. We will definitely be back.

Suite 8 is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Perfect location and private oasis. Quick walk to the beach, with all the beach supplies you need for your Rincon vacation. Walking distance to amazing restaurants. Enjoyed using the private pool after a long day in the sun. Hot tub perfect for a relaxing dip in the evening. Can’t wait to stay again.

Rincon Oasis
We had a wonderful time and were impressed with the house and it's location. It's a quick walk to the beach with a reef just off the shore that's great for snorkeling. Edwards Grocery and downtown Rincon are nearby for easy food or dining. It was a great central location to stay to explore Aguadilla/Isabela in the north, the caves and waterfalls to the east, and Parguera in the south. The house itself was perfect for our family and we enjoyed all the amenities. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more! If we come back to Rincon, we would definitely stay here again.

Wave Coast is fantastic!
You will love this rental. Literally steps to the beach, which was never overcrowded, even over Christmas week. The private pool AND hot tub were a must for us and didn't disappoint! Kare management and owners made sure we had everything we needed, even toothpaste and ear plugs for the dogs, roosters, and Christmas fireworks. Having a washer and dryer meant we could pack light carry-ons; both worked great and were convenient. They updated the furniture since the pictures we saw, and it was incrediblly comfortable for relaxing after our daily beach and cave adventures. The wifi worked for the majority of our stay, but our data coverage (Verizon) worked great everywhere, so we could always find our way around. There are lots of fun spots for delicious drinks or food within a 5 minute walk, even a grocery store. The owners recommendations for food and activities in the area were top notch! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great trip!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Schenck

Host profile image
Andy and Robyn fell in love with Rincon, Puerto Rico while taking a vacation with our daughters in 2004. On a second trip to Rincon, in 2007, we stumbled upon our townhouse - still under construction at the time - and we were hooked. Andy was born in Venezuela. He spent his boyhood in the tropics. Rincon had the tropical vibe that just felt like coming home to him.
Robyn grew up in a suburb of NYC. She spent a lot of time at the beaches of Long Island when she was a girl, and has always loved the ocean. The warm water of the sea surrounding Rincon was a delightful surprise, which continues to enchant her.
When we are not in Rincon, Robyn is a special educator and Andy is an engineer in northern New England.
We have 4 grown children, who all LOVE Suite 8 in Rincon. They are old enough to come on their own, with partners and / or friends, and they enjoy it as much as we do. It's also such a joy when we can have time with them at Suite 8.
Some of our favorite things are the healthy life-style of being in the Carribbean: swimming, snorkeling, and paddle-boarding in the ocean, and eating delicious local mangos, avacados, and papayas. Thursday night Art Walk downtown, Tuesday evening Open Mike at Calypso Cafe, Sunday morning Farmer's Market on the Plaza, awesome restaurants and lively local bars(which are all kid-friendly), and often have live music, are amongst our favs. The community is safe, friendly, chill, and welcoming. We also enjoy being sluggos on the beach.

Why they chose this property

Suite 8 in Rincon was the perfect spot for us. It is steps away from the calmer part of the surf in Rincon, and we love that we can swim, paddle-board, and snorkel right off the uncrowded beach. It is close enough to the surfer beaches, so we can play at those beaches, too. But we love that we can leave the wilder, crazier scene to go home to Suite 8 in the evenings.
Suite 8 was built 10 years ago, so it is still relatively new. When we found it, the layout, views, sunny windows, and solid structure of the building really impressed us. Plus, the end unit we chose gave us our own side lawn and extra privacy. We particularly loved the proximity to the beach, and peaceful, safe, and friendly family neighborhood.
We've maintained and upgraded Suite 8 scrupulously. You will always find it in excellent condition with fresh paint and everything clean, comfortable, and in good working order. We make sure to stock it with everything we would hope to find, if we were the renters.
We love the privacy of sun-bathing on the roof-top terrace, or slipping into the private jacuzzi in the evenings to look at the stars.
Robyn goes running alone most mornings, and enjoys the beauty of the vistas overlooking the bright blue sea. We find ripe mangos falling from the trees all around our property. We also love that, although our neighborhood is very typically Puerto Rican - with roosters crowing, and the smell of delicious Caribbean home cooking all around - most people speak English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation with folks we meet. We hope to retire at Suite 8 in about 10 years.

What makes this property unique

The 8 unit building is very modern, but we are the only building of this kind on our street. The other residences are inhabited by local "Rinconians." Our neighbors are very friendly, and take pride in their street and community.
The building is actually unique and kind of lovely, in and of itself. It is not a high-rise, like many of the older "condiminiums." It is white with blue trim, which blends with the ocean colors in a low-key, elegant way.
Suite 8 is also kind of environmentally conscious -
we use solar energy to heat most of our water (there is a back-up water-heater, which is very seldom needed).
Most of us come to Rincon for the relaxation, and the mellow island vibe. Still, we do enjoy the easily accessible 'sub-community' of health conscious and athletic people. Rincon hosts many sporting events for bikers, triathletes, tennis players, and surfers. There is a wonderful sports facility less than a mile from Suite 8, where you will see folks of all ages walking the track or taking an outdoors aerobics class, every morning.
