Great place for quick weekend!

The owner was great to work with, she was prompt on getting back to us, getting directions and info over right away. The home was well stock and very comfortable, It was wonderful to be able to have our dog with us. Only complaint which isn't much of one is driving to the beach is your best option, but truthfully its a 5 second drive and park. Overall it was a great weekend for us and the house fit what we need very well.

Remarkable, peaceful, beautiful trip!

We had a wonderful time. The casita had everything we could have wanted. The location was wonderful......a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach......which is a lovely sandy beach at high tide and a walk among fascinating tide pools at low tide. We can't wait to go back again......and after scoping things out, we plan to bring our 2 little dogs w/ us next time. They had lots of info for us to steer us to great restaurants, water and supermarkets.

Home away from home

Quiet honestly, we don't want to leave. This was my first time in Rocky Point and I loved it! The property location was a walk away from the beach which was perfect. The house very clean. The bed was so soft and comfortable. The house was in a gated community, very quiet and just peaceful. We will be returning in the near future. Thank you for sharing your casita with us.

My husband, Steve and I spent 4 wonderful days atr this home and want to try to make another reservation soon. It has a small enclosed backyard for our dog, Dixie, and the accomodations were very clean and neat. It had plenty of things to do nearby and the neighbors are nice and friendly. The ocean beach nearby was awesome and we enjoyed every morning and evening walking on the beach nearby. Elizabeth and Ted, thank you for allowing us to stay at this lovely home. MF

Relaxing birthday weekend!

For my 27th birthday, my boyfriend and I spent the weekend at this comfy casita and had an absolute blast! We loved how cosy and personable the property feels, the gorgeous view of the town at sunset, and bringing back fresh jumbo shrimp from the El Malecon to grill them up on the patio! The tide pools in the morning are so fun to explore, just a short walk from the house. This place is clean, safe, and very cute - a nice breath of fresh air from the impersonable resort type of stays. The owners are great! Some more recommendations: margaritas and fresh seafood at Mary's (what a view!), lounging and swimming at the resort beaches, breakfast at Kaffee Hause, renting Jet Skis down by the port, and a sunset dinner at Mare Blu!

Excellent Choice !!

Glad I found this Rocky Point Gem on VRBO website. I have stayed several times at the Resorts on Sandy Beach and you can tell when an owner is not doing the upkeep on a property. Not the case with Elizabeth's Casita. It is impeccable, welcoming and extremely well kept. Spent 3 days with my family and my doggie, celebrating my birthday, we had a great time. It really made my time in Rocky Point memorable to have my pooch with me. The beach is close by and was refreshing, especially during high tide. Discovered my new favorite spot for Fish Tacos, at Combo Taco on Freemont street. Thank you Elizabeth for all you do to make your visitors feel comfortable and cared for. I so look forward to my next trip down to Rocky Point!

LOVED this casita!

Elizabeth was so helpful and gave so many great recommendations for places to check out while we were visiting and all of her instructions were very clear and thorough - the proximity to the beach was a HUGE plus, the yard was great for our dogs the house was stocked with everything we could have needed! we would LOVE to stay again the next time we come back, it was so homey pleasant, truly our best stay in Puerto Peñasco yet! **tip for visiting the area if you’re a light sleeper: earplugs are a lifesaver at night! it’s a quiet neighborhood here, however the nearby bars off-road vehicles can still be a bit loud at night :)

Short vacation.

Great security, security guards very friendly, enclosed yard for dog, clean, great ice cold air conditioning. Showers outside to wash off. Cooked on the barbecue grill. Enjoyed watching baseball on great reception television. Privacy. Very close to town and beach. Everything was in the Casita that we needed. Very comfortable beds. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of towels. Easy to find and instructions for the house. Stayed five days. Much better than the resorts.

Muy Perfecto!!!!

We cannot say enough positive things about this property! The home is in a private gated community, and is beautiful and cozy with lovely decorations, very clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need and close to Mirador Beach and restaurants. The outdoor area is lovely to relax and cook/eat in, and the neighbors (and security guards) are friendly and helpful. The home is gated with parking and was very secure for our two small dogs. We will definitely book this property again in the future as it is truly a home away from home.

Lovely Casita near the beach!

We loved our stay at the casita! It was a great location just a short walk from a beautiful and quiet beach. We were also able to walk to many restaurants and bars in Puerto Penasco, including Manny’s. The casita was so cute and looked just like the pictures on VRBO. We also loved that there was a yard for our dogs to play. The kitchen had everything you would need and we enjoyed the large selection of DVD’s to watch! We had such a great vacation and would like to stay here again next time we are in Puerto Penasco!
