Standing a shell’s throw from the warm Caribbean waters, Pelican Point (D) is beachfront on the famous Sandy Beach, the center of activities/beach life in Rincon. From the courtyard-level/ground floor, guests looking to unwind will find themselves in the middle of the idyllic tropical scenery & their piece of paradise. The crystal clear summer ocean is great for swimming and snorkeling on uncrowded stretches of sand and 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's gazebo, redwood-covered event area, or one of the hammocks and watch surfers from around the world. This is where most guest spends 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.
Our beachfront apt has a full kitchen equipped with microwaves, stove, oven, toasters, coffee pot, plates, cups, etc. The apartment is set up for 4 guests. The apt has 2 bedrooms and a living room with a flat-screen TV, full cable package, WiFi, ceiling fans and the apt opens onto your own private balcony which overlooks/joins the beachfront private gated courtyard and Sandy Beach. Each bedroom has ACs and ceiling fans. One bedroom has 2 small beds and the master bedroom has a queen bed setup.
The northern beach of Rincon is better known as Sandy Beach and where the locals come to vacation so make sure you book early as it's typically booked months in advance. Pelican Point is centrally located in the middle of Sandy Beach's 18 beachfront homes and next to Tamboo. There are only 4-5 rentals on Sandy beach and besides one home, everything else is 'hotel style' rooms with a bed, bath, and coffee pot. After taxes and fees, they are about the same price but we offer full apts vs a bed and coffee pot. When you book 4 guests in an apt, rates are as low as $40/Person/Night. Rates range from $150 in the low season (May, Aug-Sept) to $210/N during the high season. Sandy Beach (known as the Fun Coast) is where everyone wants to be or travels here each so don't be fooled by West Coast Rincon rentals pretending to be a Sandy Beach rental.
PP is perfect for weddings, birthdays, special events such as surf or yoga camps, and even host many office parties. We host most of the Sandy Beach weddings which are held in our large courtyard or on the beach out. Typically the receptions are held in our beachfront, gated, and private courtyard for groups as large as 100. This is the biggest, and nicest beachfront/courtyard on Sandy Beach and the huge outdoor kitchen prep/double BBQs make that all too easy. Grill your burgers, hang with the family, and watch the surfers at the same time.
Restaurants: Tai, German, Italian, Topas, lots of seafood, and great local restaurants.
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 an honor!
Often endangered Leatherback Turtles, the size of a VW bug-car nest steps away. Watch the endangered Humpback Whales jumping from the comforts of your private balcony or in one of the lawn chairs/hammocks within the courtyard. Let us know how we can make this a trip you'll always cherish!
