Look at this little gem in the hills of Rincon. Our private casita offers unobstructed views of the ocean, and the valley below. Being a short 15 minutes from town makes the guesthouse a very quiet and private getaway. Enjoying the cozy casita won't be hard to do. It is equipped with all the comforts of home making it easy for you to relax and enjoy. Give us a try. You won't be disappointed!! The space Based on the people that have stayed in the guest house (casita) it is a great place for a getaway, a place where you'll capture nature's energy, from the sounds of the coquí (small whistle sounding frog) at night, to the roosters' songs in the morning and the sight of the red-tailed hawks nesting in one of the mango trees sitting down the hill from the casita’s deck. The casita sits in a corner of the 2 acre property in a spot that allows for one of the greatest views in Rincón. There are two houses, the casita, which was built in May 2017 and is a detached guest house, and the main residence. The two houses share a driveway, but the casita has its own private attached parking space. The casita is a studio type floor plan (approx. 300 sq. ft.) with an equally big patio area, with Adirondack chairs and a small table with two chairs, under a mango tree. All the essentials are included with hot water, air conditioning, indoor/private bathroom, kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave, dinnerware, gas burner BBQ , and 1 queen bed. There's also a portable two burner stove. Guest access As a guest at Casa Vista you will have access to the entire guest house, the parking space and the private patio. You are free to take pictures or videos of the landscape, plants and the views throughout the property. However, we request that you respect our privacy as well and do not use the main residence for photos or use the areas around the main house. However, if you find it hard to maneuver your car around in the casita's parking, feel free to drive into our yard to do so, always taking every precaution. We also ask that you refrain from exploring the terrain below the casita. As guests you will have access to use the casita as your own. We will provide you with bedding, extra blankets, towels, kitchen accessories, beach chairs and accessories and patio chairs. Other things to note Utility situation: Power has been restored to all of Puerto Rico since Maria and all subsequent hurricanes and storms but the new power company is in the process of restoring the infrastructure and there might be some interruption of services. Please be prepared for any situation that may arise during your stay. We will do our best to deal with any outages that may come (usually after a big thunderstorm) since a lot of the time it is unexpected and we have no control over the situation. In March 2023 we installed solar panels with a Tesla battery and so far it has worked as planned. It is not foolproof of course, especially on rainy season, so we recommend that when you leave the casita you turn off the air conditioner. Internet (WiFi) is available, but like all other utilities we cannot guarantee the reliability of the system. We will however do our best to notify guests if we are having an issue. Cell phone service may be spotty and/or slow at times but then again you are here to relax! Put away those phones and laptops! LOL. GPS works pretty good in PR. We will also provide detailed directions upon booking from whichever airport you are arriving at or place in the island where you're driving from. There are two dogs in the property. Trampa is our son's dog (he lives in the property). She is a rescue dog and she is very friendly and Coco who, at the time of this writing (4/2024) is 2 years and 8 months old. He is also a rescue "sato" or mutt.
