The Babanees Surf Studio is a quaint and cool, boho surfer style home located in the heart of Puntas, Rincon. Situated on the top of "Bummer Hill," the home has sweeping ocean views and private chill areas on the property. I have been working hard improving and designing this awesome space. Inspired by surf culture, and the ultimate desire to be comfortable, this is a large studio apartment, 1 bath, with a fully equipped kitchenette. Please read the space details for more information. Super spacious, light, and comfortable studio apartment. There is a double bed and a twin bed, that fit perfectly in the space. A cozy chill area to stream TV, along with a table that is great for eating and working. There is an outdoor table with a small banana grove for shade and privacy. This is an affordable studio apartment. I do not recommend you rent this apartment if you are not an independent, well traveled person. I have made the place super comfortable and it has all the amenities needed, but I will not refund you, “if it does not meet your standards.” It is a cute, easy, and basic beach apartment. I have had a few guests, most of whom are of the age of retirement, book solely based on the price, only to find, “this was not their type of place” This is the type of place for surfers and laid-back guests. Ideal for the adventurous, and not for those with super high expectations of staying in what they believe is a 5-star hotel for less than $60 per night. Lastly, this house is not located in downtown Rincón. The House is located in BARRIO PUNTAS, which is a highly desired area located in the hills above town. The beaches are within walking distance, and Sandy Beach is right down the hill. The area is known for amazing surfing and views! If you have questions, please reach out. I will be happy to elaborate on the area. I will not give you a refund if you arrive and say this is not the area you booked. Please reference the Airbnb map, and ask me for the address/area before booking. It may show you another street in Rincón that share’s the same name as the one in Puntas. After your booking is confirmed, I will send you all the details of the location. I repeat this home is not located near the town plaza. NO PETS! Additionally, I have also had guests rescue dogs off the street, causing me undue stress during the reservation. Many of the rescues in Puerto Rico are strapped, meaning they will most likely not be able to help you, if you decide to take in a stray. They will tell you the responsibility is on YOU to vet the animal and get it off the island. I have rescued animals and fostered them in MY OWN home in PR & NY, but never would I rescue an animal in an Airbnb or a home that is not mine. Since I am about to become a new mother, I won't be able to foster for a while and don't need to be stressed out that you may not be able to truly give this animal the help it needs, or worse, have to put it back on the street before your vacation ends. Think about the consequences and/or contact a rescue before you help out a stray animal in Puerto Rico. I can offer up community resources to reach out to, but that's it. If you bring an animal, it must be a service dog and I will request documentation, along with a doctor's note that says your animal is a certified service animal- just like the Airlines do. There is a lovely, disabled family who lives behind our property. They are deaf. They have a dog that spends lots of time outside and has a dog house, additional shade, water, and food provided to him daily. This family loves the dog, and it belongs to their son. However, people from the states sometimes do not understand why the dog is kept outside. I have had guests harass the family and me about the dog. I will no longer tolerate guests who trespass into my neighbor's yard to try and get near the dog. It is not your dog, and you should not assume that you know anything about the situation, being that you are a complete outsider, vacationing in our neighborhood. The neighbors have cameras on their property. If you are caught trespassing on camera, we will notify the authorities, and it will be posted to your Airbnb review. ***If you think you will be bothered by a dog, who is cared for, but spends lots of time outside, please do not book my home.*** This is a disclaimer, you have been informed. Do not arrive and cause more work or problems because you did not read my descriptions. Thanks! Private Parking located on the side of the house. The Studio is alotted one private parking spot. Puntas is the heart of Rincon. Located high up in the hills, yet walking distance to the beach. The area boasts some of the most breathtaking views of Rincon. Not to mention that in the winter, when the surf is firing, you can hear the waves crashing at night. It is truly serene. Travelers also love Puntas for its high energy, which can found in the surf, restaurants, bars, and shops that are located just down the hill from The Babanees. The house is situated in a family orientated neighboorhood. I adore my neighbors and the peace and quiet I get to experience when I am on the premise. I highly recommend renting a car when traveling to Rincon. I have a connection with a service, outside of Airbnb, that can offer the rental of a 4Runners or at an additional cost. Please inquire about the rental service of this vehicle.
