About this property

Rocky Point's Best Beach!

*THIS LISTING IS FOR A SECOND FLOOR APARTMENT BEHIND THE MAIN HOUSE.* please read the full description before booking.

This apartment is on the second floor with only stair access. It is located behind the main house and is steps (about 50) to the beach. The main house is beachfront. We do not rent the beach house and encourage our guests to use the beachfront patio of the main house (pictured).

The apartment sleeps four in two comfortable queen size beds. There is one bedroom and the other bed is in the main room behind a pony wall - perfect for kids. There is one bathroom with a shower. Parking is on the street in front of the house. Our guard-gated community is safe.

Unlike the city, our water is delivered to us. There are two 500 gallon tanks of water available for the rental. Any usage above two tanks during a 2 night/three-day period will be the financial responsibility of the renter to refill. If you are staying for 6 nights, the second refill is part of the rental agreement, but a third refill is the responsibility of the renter. All water tank refills are on a cash payment basis.

Travel for 10 miles by car to Puerto Penasco for nightlife and the fish and curio market. Several excellent restaurants are located there. That's how far away this beach community is from the hustle and bustle of the town of Puerto Penasco.

Once you've relaxed, consider helping out Barb's Dog Rescue https://www.barbsdogrescue.org/ and adopting a new fur baby or giving one of their dogs a ride to their forever homes or adoption partners in phoenix. Barb's is 8 miles outside of Rocky Point on the main road and currently has 350 dogs in need of their forever homes and donations.

The location of the property and the location of the key were not disclosed accurately so it took a long time to get checked in. After a long drive and lots of traffic this was kind of annoying. But the trip and stay was just what we needed.

We had a great (but too short) vacation in Playa Encanto. This property has great beach access to the best beach in Rocky Point. The place has colorful tile in the kitchen and bathroom and all the amenities we needed for a week at the beach.

Playa Encanto

The property was a little lacking in amenities. Was sweltering hot when we arrived and the two air conditioners took 6 or 7 hours just to cool place down to 80 or so. BUT THE BEACH IS EVERYTHING IT WAS SAID TO BE! Totally worth it! Looking forward to going again!

Fantastic clean quiet beach, nice little casa

Very pretty little upstairs apartment. Pretty much has what you need. We didn't bother with the TV or wifi, so can't speak to that. It's not five star hotel clean, but I'm a clean freak and I felt totally comfortable. The beach is just unbeatable for solitude and nature. LOVED IT!! Thank you!!

Our Playa Encanto Jewel

We've stayed here several times. No other property compares, this place is affordable, clean, has everything you'll need, and steps from the beach. We don't even leave, just bring your own food to cook! Michaela is very responsive and quick to resolve minor hiccups. The beach is beautiful here, not crowded at all, and very safe. We are will always come back. ❤

Private Paradise!

We have stayed with them several times, and it is always an amazing experience. The house has everything you need for fridge, cooking, pots, pans, and condiments, dishes. Bring your food and enjoy the best the beach has to offer. The host was very communicative and prompt when responding to us. It can be a little nervous to get there if you have not been there before but follow the instructions provided and will be no problem at all. Look forward to staying here many more times. KM

Spacious Apartment

The apartment is conveniently located just behind the beach house, above the garage. There is a small patio to enjoy eating out of doors. It was more spacious than expected with new sheets and extra blankets. It was difficult to ignore the plastic coving the box spring and mattress, beyond looking rather sad the noise with every turn was noticeable. The water stained curtains definitely needed attention and the kitchen could use a bit more cleaning, I know how difficult it is to get good help...We could not see the view toward the beach since the windows had not been cleaned in a while but the location was great and we would recommend and definitely stay again.

Great Stay and unbearable price

The property itself was right on the beach, which was amazing. We went over spring break and truly there was almost no one on the beach. A couple tips I could mention: as you entering on the main drag, you will turn at on atuna and then you are directly in front of the property. The property itself was clean, and just as you expected with all the kitchen items you needed to make your meals. There is an excellent Taco stand at the entrance and she is there from 8:30-4pm daily. I would highly recommend the piña colada. It is quite an ordeal for her to get the blender going, but so good! Loved her stay for such an amazing price, we will definitely be back!

Nice comfortable place.

Micahelas place is very nice, & comfortable. We had trouble getting the key out of the stuck lockbox, but we eventually got it. We we're trying to open the ground floor doors to no avail, because the key opens the sliding door upstairs. The patio of the big house is big and right on the beach, with a margarita deck up top. Everything was clean and in working order, except we had ZERO hot water which made showering a "breathtaking" experience. All in all a great little place for a get away.

Hi Frank, Thank you for choosing us! I am so sorry about the hot water. Last year my parents switched over to a tankless water heater and it seems to be having some issues. When we try/check it it works but it has been an issue that we are working on. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay otherwise and hope that you choose us again!

Great time for Thanksgiving 2023.

Stayed here many times. Enjoy the location and the proximity to the beach. Wife had messaged the owner about being short some bath towels and they were brought over. Thank you for that. Just wanted to bring a small detail to your attention. There was some dog hair on the floor by the one bed. We are completely fine with it because we have a dog as well. Just wanted to pass it along in case you need to address it. Definitely will be back. Thanks! 😄

A nice place in Playa Encanto.

The wife and I enjoy staying at this place. Far enough away from everything but close enough if you need something. A few things : We had to use a couple of towels from those bags marked for Miguel Sanchez. Needed a dish towel and one to dry hands. The carbon monoxide plug in alarm was beeping upon arrival. I think the batteries might be bad in the smoke alarm as well. Just wanted to let you guys know. Just little stuff. Definitely will be back. Thank you.

Great beach but Omg ….really?

Apartment was a nice set up. Really hard to open lockbox to get the key. Beautiful view but Windows so salty you could not see out. Power went out. Could not get a response through Vrbo messaging of host but a call was returned and power was restored in about three hours. Exterior of courtyard not maintained. Was locked out and couldn’t get a response from host at all. Neighbors helped out. a very nice neighbor found someone who had a key. Thank God! We did find a sign tucked beside the fireplace stating to take key with you as you might get locked out. Apparently this is a common occurrence as the door locks itself quite often. It had happened just the week before and again the neighbors said they had to help at that time as well. Seating inside was very very uncomfortable but the beds were good. Tv was the size of a computer monitor The beach was accessible beautiful and very private.

Good and bad

Kitchen counter and bath appeared clean. Nice spot to sit outside on rental house patio and quiet beach. Had to soak and clean silverware tray, it was Very dirty. Did not turn on ceiling fans because of thick layer of dust. Entrance screen door was torn and off of track so could not use. Window channels so full of dirt so could hardly open. Light shade in bedroom still was wrapped in plastic with store tag on it. Hot water in shower intermittent so it could be very hot and then become cold. Daughter and son in law had been there all week and must not have even looked at rental. Did not mention problems to them because did not want intrusion while we were staying and decided because they were there all week and did not inspect they probably did not care. With a little concern on owners part this could have been a 4-5 star

Hi Lorraine, I am so sorry that you encountered those issues! We did go up and look in the apartment but you're right, I did not check the drawers etc. and should have. I will definitely bring up these issues with our property manager and also let me parents know. I hope you will consider staying with us again and will find everything improved. Thank you!
