Beachfront House in Cholla Bay

Summary:
Experience a dream vacation at this rustic beachfront home in the charming Cholla Bay neighborhood. Wake up to panoramic ocean views from the master bedroom's private balcony. Relax on the terrace and watch the mesmerizing sunsets. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comes with a fully equipped kitchen, living room, garage, Wifi, and TV. Indulge in water sports like swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing on the sandy shore of Tucson Beach, a favorite among vacationers.

The Space:
This is a fun and unique house where the views are stellar and the beach access is easy-peasy!

Guest Access:
Entire house, garage and yard are totally private spaces for the rental guests.

The Neighborhood:
Cholla Bay, located in Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico, is a hidden gem worth discovering. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, this area is a charming blend of natural beauty and quirky character. The stunning views of the bay and ocean are the highlight of this area. Whether you are enjoying the sunsets or exploring the mountains, trails, and beaches, the scenery is breathtaking. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the opportunities for fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and exploring the nearby desert by side-by-side or ATV's. Cholla Bay is also home to several neighborhood eateries, where you can enjoy delicious meals with a local flavor. The convenience store in the neighborhood is a great place to stock up on essentials like beer, ice, and other forgotten staples. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife in the area, including ospreys, lizards, seagulls, rabbits, and more. Low tide provides an opportunity for clamming and wading in the water. The locals in Cholla Bay are known for their friendly hospitality and traditional fiestas during holiday times. The famous JJ's Cantina is a must-visit spot, and the winding dirt roads add to the slower pace of life in this charming community. Cholla Bay is remote yet close to everything, offering the best of both worlds. It's a perfect getaway for those looking to escape the crowds and indulge in some peace and quiet. Whether you are looking for a romantic retreat or an adventure-packed vacation, Cholla Bay has something for everyone.

Getting Around:
Cholla Bay is located approximately 10 minutes away by car from the primary tourist hub of Sandy Beach. Visitors can opt to either drive their own car or take a taxi to access the bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and shops in the vicinity. A taxi ride all the way down to the port typically costs around $25 for each trip.

Other Things to Note:
You must be able to walk on stairs, the stairs are a little tricky to get to and from the beach from the house. Alternately you can go down a ramp to the beach about 1 block away from the house if the stairs give anyone problems. The stairs aren't maintained, use at your own risk.

The house runs on trucked in water stored in a tank on the roof. You must be mindful of consumption especially with larger groups, or you could run out of water. We will check and refill the water daily during your stay, but if it is Sunday or after hours, or there is a water shortage in town, you may not be able to get a refill until the next day. We provide a large 5 gallon bucket of clean purified water as an emergency back up if this should happen.

Interaction with Guests:
Yes, absolutely. Please feel free to email, text or call. The property manager lives in the same area and can be of service.

The house was old but that’s not the problem when we stayed here at this house. It was a nice house to stay especially for big families. Unfortunately, we ran out of water the second night and our host did nothing to help with bringing extra water, the house had two jugs of water left labeled “emergency water” but that’s not sufficient to flush both toilets, wash dishes, or give 9 people at LEAST 2 showers. As said before, the house itself wasn’t bad but there were some red flags that were concerning: the cabinets weren’t as clean, on the roof just above the table water droplets fell from the ac (we don’t know if there was mold as a possibility since it’s leaking), the shower head on the first floor shower had terrible pressure, and we weren’t able to use the bathrooms after the water ran out which poses a health risk. Two of my family members got sick since we couldn’t use the toilets without water or even just wash our hands. Had to leave the property early due to stomach issues and no hand hygiene. Had to cut our trip short The host was nice but not helpful enough with the water issue other than stating the signs posted all around about running out of water.

Great House, Gorgeous Views
This house was an amazing place to stay for the weekend. It is located just a short drive from town with access to a quiet, beautiful beach. The house is clean, well equipped, and spacious. The host consistently and promptly communicated during the entirety of our stay. We would happily stay again.

Perfect slice of heaven !
I absolutely LOVE this property! Everything was so perfect! Stairs out back to the beach, during the day the ride is a little far out which is perfect to take the kids down and collect seashells and little crabs. Very safe and quiet neighborhood, the host Sarina was AMAZING! Fast communication and helped me w anything I needed :) plenty of space to sleep , beautiful beautiful views. Definitely will return, my family and I LOVED it! Thank you for having us :)

We enjoyed or stay the beach was lovely, house spacious and great, plenty of room. Our only complaint would be that the neighbors next door's motion sensor kept going off at night when we were sitting outside. Otherwise a lovely place and would return.

Beautiful views, awful house
Amazing views but they didn't fill the water tanks before our stay and we ran out of water the second day, no showers and couldn't flush toilets. Sent someone out the next day to fill it but then the water pump leaked and we were without water again while they repaired it. They said they would compensate us but so far nothing. Furniture was filthy, stained and falling apart. The house smelled like mildew, the dishes were chipped and broken. There were 2 old plastic patio chairs and stained chaise lounges. The house is falling apart literally. We would never stay there again.
