About this property
Amapola House - Amazing Rincon Villa near the popular beaches of Puntas -
Puerto Rico’s Amapola House is a private getaway minutes from the quaint town of Rincon, nestled near sweeping hillsides and tropical scenery in the Caribbean islands. Located a few minutes away from pristine Sandy Beach and the best Rincon restaurants and bars, Amapola House provides a comfortable resting place for those that want to have an activity-filled day, but a quiet place to return to at night. Backup electric and water ensure a completely pleasant stay. The owners make sure that Amapola House feels more like second home than a hotel. Built by the Avilés family, who has lived in the area for generations, the house features modern design and stylish décor. Named after the hibiscus flowers that used to bloom on the property of the family matriarch, Amelia Avilés, Amapola House features sepias of Old Rincon going back to the 1890’s. Once situated, guests can sit in comfortable chairs and look out into the tropical scenery from the Starlight Veranda, the private suite terrace or the lower California scenery deck. Enjoy a swim in our private rooftop pool with swim up bar and jets.
Amapola House is a four-level vacation home with four bedrooms. All the bedrooms include large closets and either a queen bed or two twin beds. With three full bathrooms, the house comfortably accommodates up to eight people. Rooms are decorated in rich yellow and terracotta tones in a contemporary style. A private suite is located on its own level with a private terrace and outdoor dining area. Guests who like to cook on holiday will love the fully equipped kitchen and cocktail bar. Amapola House also offers a dining service for eight, and several great restaurants are minutes away. Amapola House offers a unique vacation experience that vastly differs from others in the area. Located in a private area that is only reachable through nearly untraveled roads, it gives guests seclusion and tranquility, while still being close to the area’s best beaches and hotspots. The art, antiques and photos offer a glimpse into Rincon’s past and the history of surfing. Guests will truly feel at home at Amapola House, which was designed to do just that. The golden sands and pristine waters of Sandy Beach are only two minutes by car and ten minutes on foot. Our Sun Deck sunsets are unforgettable and and the nights are filled with millions of stars and serious moonlight. The interior is designer-decorated and contains a private collection of heirloom antiques and vintage photographs of Old Rincon and Surfing legends, which are part of The Amapola House Story. Everyone that stays at Amapola House only regrets not staying longer and wishes to return soon, as indicated in our Guest Book entries. Our kitchen and bar are well-equipped. Guest sleeps quite comfortably in beds with high-quality mattresses and high-count linens (no futons or pull outs). Extra large closets keep your living accommodations spacious. Our oversized towels are plush and so are our beach towels. The large bathrooms offer rain shower heads, glass basins and oversized mirrors to allow you to pamper yourself as you prepare for the evening, after a day at the beach or a day trip. iPod stereos, DVD players, flat screen TV's and cable TV service provide entertainment between outings. High-speed wireless Internet keeps you connected when you want to be. The wifi in the area, however is unreliable at times and guests should consider this before arriving. Our caretaker is always nearby and available to assist you during your stay at Amapola House and to ensure that your stay is a comfortable one. This home has four levels with stairs and may not be suitable for wheelchairs and persons with limited mobility.

My family and I have been coming to Rincon for years and this was one of the best experiences. The house was the perfect fit for our family. We are most definatley booking same time next year! Thank you Heather and Nicole.
Our family of 7 had a fabulous stay at Amapolo House. A charming house, with enough room to house us all. The lower level room with the en suite was perfect for my parents. The 2 teenage girls practically lived on the top deck with the pool. The house is a short walk to Sandy Beach. The views from the deck are spectacular -- towards the ocean and the lush green forest, home to iguanas and birds. So many wonderful memories! Thank you.
My teen girls & I and our friends -with teens. loved staying at Amipola...the kids spent lots of time on the roof in the pool after our beaching, surfing, scuba and just chilling,,,, great views-great neighborhood-great time!
This was our 2nd year @ Amapola and we loved it as much as last year. The only issue we had was that the grill was not in working order - everything else was great. We will be back again next year for sure.
Overall we enjoyed the location and layout of this property. Definitely the highlight is the roof top pool and views in both directions. The neighborhood is very nice and quick drive to shops and restaurants. We would have given it 5 stars if the washer and dryer had worked, the kitchen was a little bigger (not much counter space) and contruction at the property next door hadn't started at 7:30am.

Clean and comfortable
We really enjoyed staying here. Anthony was very accommodating and flexible when we had to reschedule due to the hurricane. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and the rooftop deck was very relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to prepare family dinner. If i could make one suggestion it would be to put a little more information in the binder such as grocery stores, post offices and their addresses.
Our family of five adults all loved Amapola House! Communication was effective getting into the house, although there were a few glitches during our stay that might have been helped by better communication. The house sits on a ridge with wonderful views of tropical trees, ocean and sunsets. The area has other rental homes, small hotels, private residences and some small farms. We enjoyed the diversity of the neighborhood. At first we were a little concerned about not being directly on the beach, but we enjoyed the hilltop location. We walked to Sandy Beach and to a couple local restaurants. The neighborhood was filled with bird sounds and we even had a visit from a large iguana. We were an easy drive to other beaches, local sights and the town of Rincon. Our favorite place was the rooftop sitting area with pool. We enjoyed the indoor-outdoor living. Bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is small, but adequate for our needs. We would definitely return to Amapola House for another stay.
The house wa sllcated a bit far from attractions but very close to the lighthouse! The property was very clean, amazing views, air conditioner didnt work one night, but the maintenance came the next morning and got it perfect! overall it was pretty good! Would definitely reccomend
The area is very rural in my opinion. The view is undeniably beautiful. Close to many beaches
Very accurate description-properly manager was super helpful! The house is in great condition and made it very comfortable to Spend lots of time enjoying the outdoors. A few simple things would have made our stay excellent. I love to cook and enjoy my morning coffee. Coffee pot could be upgraded as well as new cookware. Also, upgraded sheets and towels (I’m glad we brought extra) would be a nice touch.
Adult group of friends spending 5 days in Rincon. Amapola House was a great spot for us. Plenty of space for the 5 of us to stretch out and enjoy.
We spent most of our time on the roof top deck enjoying the pool, views and sunsets. That rooftop was great!
The local management team was very quick in accommodating housekeeping requests such as light bulbs, grill propane and dish towels for kitchen.
Would definitely recommend Amapola House.
Lovely home, great location, beautiful views, the perfect place for extended family to gather. Thank you!

Return to Rincon
This was our family’s first trip back to Rincon since hurricane Maria and we were delighted to be back and to see what a great job PR did repairing this part of the island.
And, we loved staying at Heather and Nicole’s property. It was beautifully decorated, very clean and very comfortable in a great location. The rooftop deck has amazing views, definitely our favorite hangout spot. The neighbors are very nice and very quiet. And, they have beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels for their guests. We thought that was a great perk. I would absolutely rent this house again.

Incredible view, amazing rooftop, awesome house.
Close proximity to town, the beaches of Rincon, and the house as all of the amenities you would need. Sunrise and sunsets from the rooftop were incredible every day.

Enjoyable vacation
The amapola house was very much as shown on the vrbo site. It was clean and well maintained. The location is excellent and we had a great time. Peter was responsive and handled the one problem quite quickly... we asked for groceries to be shopped for and paid but they weren't there I called and they were delivered an hour or so later... no worries and nice they provide this service. 2 notes . The driveway is poor, unless you pull in just right or you have a car w high clearance you will bottom out every time... this should be fixed. Also the beach chairs provided are the stadium chairs that are really uncomfortable we bought our own. Both of these things are very minor and are only intended to improve a property I highly recommend.

Nice place. Good location in Puntas. Accurate description. Clean.
We were very pleased with our stay. The description and pictures on the website were quite accurate. Gorgeous views and plenty of space. The roof top was great. We saw lots of rainbows. Beach chairs included, a plus! Be aware the fourth bedroom has its own entrance and cannot be accessed from the main part of the house. Overall we were very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful property and sorroundings
The listing was accurate with regards to the location, layout and amenities in the house. The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. From the color, the art work, the layout of all the rooms - everything was well maintained and clean and resembled the online pictures. The property manager welcomed us and was available whenever we had questions or needed to borrow something (like sugar for our coffee). We also got some yummy avocados and bananas from around the property.
There is plenty of surfing beaches and quiet areas to go suntan. Plenty of restaurants and shops within driving distance. Our stay was great. We were able to relax and enjoy the stay.

Everything About Amapola is Beautiful and Clean!
I stayed at the Amapola House for 4 days with myself, 5 other adults and my 6 year old daughter. The house is beautiful as are the views and outdoor areas, and it is kept immaculately clean (which is a must for my travel companions). The photos are a perfect representation of the house. The location of the house is wonderful as it is on a "side street" rather than the next street over which can be used as a cut through to get to the beaches, so it is nice and quiet.
We were planning our next stay at Amapola halfway through our first day staying in it -- so we will be back!
