The house was very clean! The neighborhood was busier than expected. It was odd having someone walk by the patio as they were staying in house below. Would have wanted more privacy.

Perfect spot

Our stay at Rustic Retreat exceeded expectations. The house was perfect for our family of 4. More space than the pictures look. The outside space was private and beautiful. The balcony had a great view. The location was perfect. Walking distance to great surf breaks, restaurants, shops and bars. Short drive to the rest of the areas main attractions. Erica and Ryan were fantastic hosts. We would 100 percent stay here again!

Wonderful beach bungalow!

The house was exactly as described with a perfect location with short walk to beach. Comfy bedrooms with little balcony overlooking sunset and sea were great. Patio area was a nice place to relax and cook out on the grill. Hosts were easy to communicate with and professional. Great stay and wonderful home base in Puntas.

Jungle retreat

I had a great stay. For most of my stay I was a solo female and I felt perfectly safe! It was very quiet and relaxing. It was great to be in the trees and hear the birds and the frogs. There was a mother and son staying in the main house that is behind a fence and they accessed that using a path on the edge of the property. That is the only time you see other; otherwise, it's very private. They were very respectful. You can walk to the beach but you aren't going to carry your surfboard! It's a steep hill. However, I loved walking in the morning - down the hill and then on the flat road that runs along the beach to check out the surf and maybe get a smoothie. I didn't want to leave!

Perfect little retreat!

Quiet area for rest and relaxation. We loved the outdoor area, we sat out every morning for coffee and evenings we grilled and had cocktails. Walking distance to sandy beach and barefoot yoga. Ryan, Erica, and their children are exceptionally friendly and provided anything we needed. Will definitely stay again!

Relaxing retreat for family getaway!

A comfy and relaxing retreat to get away from it all, soak up the island vibes, and bond with the family (kids ages 11 and 8)! We loved hanging out on the patio in the mornings or after a day at the beach. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony. Great location and close to everything! The owners were very accommodating and so nice! This home made for a very memorable family vacation!

Beach cottage

Ryan and Erica were very kind and accommodating with allowing us early check in. The house was very clean and lovely. This is our second visit and we can’t wait to wake up to the ocean view again. We couldn’t imagine this visit being as good as our last years stay but we were overwhelmed with joy once again. Thank you Ryan and Erica :)

The Rustic Retreat was the perfect stay for me and my (7 year old) son. We enjoyed 10 days at this home. We loved the outdoor tub & the beautiful views from the balcony! The hosts- Ryan, Erica, Dante & Rise are all so kind and friendly. It’s walking distance from restaurants, beaches, and gift shops. After exploring Rincon, I would say this part of town was my favorite! We will definitely be back!

Amazing spot

Loved the rustic retreat and Rincón. Very short walk to the beach but a very steep hill is good to know. Loved the outdoor space and tub but watch out for fire ants. Ryan and Erica were super cool and helped whenever needed. I would come back here a million times. Comfy beds. Great kitchen. Ac worked great. Lovely view. Amazing location.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Martin

I have been coming to Rincon since 1995. I fell in love with this island, it's people and their warm culture. I live on the same property in a separate house below in the valley. Enough privacy, but we are always here if you need anything. It is myself, my wife Erica, our two boys (Dante-10yo and Rise-5yo) and our dog, Shrimp.

We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

This property is special because it is in a quiet area of Rincon, but still close to so much. A true retreat. Come join us :)

What makes this property unique

Away from it all, but just a short ways from beaches, bars/restaurants, gift shops and Rincon nightlife.
