Amapola House is the culmination of a vision that began several generations ago. It was a simple vision- a strong and safe house, with enough space for a family. That dream was strongly held by Amelia Avilés, of Rincón, Puerto Rico, who as a young wife and mother in the 1920's, loved the land that she lived on as much as she loved her family.
Amelia held on to her vision, even during the tough times of economic depression, the world war and family fragmentation, caused by forced emigration- but she never got to see it fully realized.
Her vision was not forgotten by a loving grandson, who to honor her memory, chose to call his new home Amapola House; after one the many beautiful flowers that bloomed in her garden.
A newer version of Amelia's old house stands on its original pilings. Amapola House was built nearby, where her oldest son's house stood. The old wood house was severely damaged by termites and had to be demolished.
Amapola House is a four-level home that includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a treetop sunset-view veranda, a vast rooftop ocean-view terrace with a jumbo spa, plus recreation and utility levels. It contains a gallery of never-seen photographs of Old Rincon, going back several generations.
Amapola House is a beach-area vacation home for its owners and is available as a vacation rental or exchange. Amapola House is now accepting reservations for unforgettable vacations.
