Everything in unit was as described. Great for surf trip to Rincon, waves were great. Short distance drive (5 min) to Playa Maria's. Sandy beach is quaint with a few restaurants. Unit owner very repsonsive. Only downside, was Big Kahuna bar, next door, played live music until midnight.
Sandy Beach is the laid back little sister to Rincon (not that Rincon is Miami or anything but…) and the Beach Pad is perfectly located. The property is awesome — gorgeous personal decks, lovely rooftop, free parking, equipped w/everything you need, and very comfortable.It’s a short walk to everything in town and the hosts are super responsive. A all around. Sandy Beach is quiet all day and even on weekend nights is not really party central EXCEPT….Unfortunately for everyone staying right in the middle of town, an open air bar brings in the most egregiously horrible cover bands and cranks the volume to 10. If you were dying to hear the worst possible rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin’” you’re in luck. Plenty of Puerto Rican beach towns have loud bars (have you been to Boqueron?) but they mainly feature salsa or reggaeton and they’re quieter on weeknights. This bar hires tuneless screeching “bands” that will have you wishing they’d just do karaoke with drunk frat bros — and they play EVERY NIGHT. We arrived on a Monday night to suffer through a 3.5 hour set that finally ended about midnight.This is not the fault of the Beach Pad team and closing all doors and windows and cranking the AC goes some distance towards drowning out the dreck but it’s a real shame since the cross ventilation at night is divine and falling asleep listening to the surf is what beach towns should be about.So, by all means stay here but bring ear plugs.
