Such a great house! Very spacious with the casita. So nice to step off the patio and right onto the sand. We stayed with two families, including teenagers, and had a wonderful time. The kitchen was well-supplied so we could cook a full Thanksgiving dinner. We have stayed here before and will be back again. The teenagers loved having their own space in the casita, to get away from parents. The neighborhood was so quiet at night. The sunsets were amazing. The skim boarding and shell hunting kept the kids occupied for days!

Great stay!

We had 12 people from under one to 63 years old and the space was lovely for all! The location on the beach was beautiful and we felt like we had it all to ourselves. We usually rent at Las Conchas, and itā€™s a bit further out - but no biggie. Very peaceful and the manager was patient and helpful.

Memorial Day weekend

Absolutely loved the trip, the friends the family, all had a great time. There was plenty of room with 14 people, made sure we watched our water use and had no problems. The casita was an awesome set up with the upstairs patio for an area to hang out with the nice breeze blowing through and the view of the beach. The nearby Walmart made it easy to get additional food and supplies. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Beachside Stay

Playa Encanto is a drive away from town, but the sandy flat beach is worth it. The house is designed to host a lot of people--bunk beds in every room--without being cramped. The kitchen had all the necessities for cooking. Once we got settled in, we never left the house again.

Tranquil, much-needed trip

Although difficult to find at first because the house number and name of the property are not clearly marked on the front of the house, a quick text to the property manager led to a quick response and we were inside and relaxing quickly. This home was perfect for our needs, and we very much enjoyed the idyllic quiet of Playa Encanto.

Really nice well kept home. Kim and husband very respectful and responsive to anything we needed. The beach was a very low key and not as busy as around the resorts which is great and more peace at mind when having the children but you still get the vendors that come through which is great.

Playa Encanto is the best beach in puerto PeƱasco / rocky point! Not many people on the beach so itā€™s nice and secluded. We have stayed numerous times at La Perla and itā€™s an awesome house! Has everything you need and a separate casita if you want to book that as well. Highly recommend the property. The host is very accommodating as well. Clean property. Looking forward to coming back!

Great Mexico Rental

The property was perfect for our group. The inside was clean and had everything we needed. The exterior of the home had a few items that need fixed. The exterior upstairs grill needs repairing and the patios need to be cleaned. Other than these few issues, we had a great time at this property.

Hi Ben. Thank you for your review. The house and patios were cleaned the day before arrival as normally scheduled. That night we had high gusting ocean winds and a storm. When this happens, all the houses get sand on the patios. We are sorry about that storm the day of your arrival. Thank you for bringing up the upstairs grill. It is never used because we have a propane grill downstairs. I will just take that grill grate away up there so it will look better. I am very happy you mentioned that charcoal grill. It is gone bye bye now. Thanks for the wonderful care you took of our home. Kim & Barney

Loved this place! The beach is sandy no rocks which is a huge plus. Took my toddler to celebrate his 5th birthday and we all enjoyed the house. Town is not that far of a drive. Vendors come too you so itā€™s still easy to enjoy a fruit bowl or a Pina colada on the beach. We will definitely be returning for bike week.

Oh yes, it is a Mexico style stove. There are operating instructions in the beach house info/rules pages. Those stoves last forever or I would love to talk the owners into a fancy new USA Stove. But then, these new stoves only last a few years before having to be repaired. It is kinda sad but true now. Anytime you run into operation issues or maintenance, we are always here for you. I know exactly what you mean about that stove! Thank you for mentioning it. Perhaps it may help us get a new one! Info like that is very helpful. You were a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the 5 star review. Your hosts, Kim & Barney

La Perla

We had a great time at La Perla. It's about 15 minutes past Las Conchas. We drove the road at night which can be a little tricky. The extra wait was worth it. Great house for a family trip. 14 beds total! The house was comfortable and functional. Every room has an individual AC unit which is great in the summer! The patio had plenty of seating for us. The beach was beautiful, clean, and unpopulated. Overall we had a great weekend here.

Wonderful Stay!

Beach house big & spacious, super clean & kitchen was fully stocked, fresh drinking/cooking water dispenser. Lots of clean towels & fresh bed linens, beds comfy. Host very responsive & sent detailed driving directions, and AC remote & stove instructions. (will need this to turn on, as it's not a regular U.S. type stove). AC worked great & TV in living room area of main house. Only issue we had was getting the tv to work in casita, (kept asking for USB card), so we were never able to get it going or figure it out. Back patio large & shady with lots of tables & chairs. Amazing views of the ocean. We enjoyed our stay & would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing beach vacation!

Our favorite Yet!

We Vrbo every year with the same group in Penasco. I am dissapointed it took me this long to find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. The beach, are you kidding me. The photos do not do This home justice. The photos should be 3/4 of house and 26 of the beach. Owner had a friggin fire pit to! Normally the las conchas houses we rent have so many stairs that we are always reluctant to have beach fires. But not here. Lanai,beach are same level. Cooper hooked us up with tomales, tortillas, and firewood. When I come back Iā€™m coming here so donā€™t rent in June people! Thatā€™s reserved for the Raeā€™s
