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.

Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed the little apartment and the beautiful weather and beach at Playa Encanto. Everything we needed was provided. Had a lovely 3 day stay.
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.
Really clean and cozy. Close to beach. AC worked great. Felt safe and comfortable! Definitely would rent and recommend!!

Amazing!
This is a perfect apartment with all amenities to cook a great meal. The beds were comfortable and the place was big enough for 4. Michaela was super easy to work with and checked in to make sure we had everything. We will book again!
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!
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!!
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. ❤
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! 😄
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.

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.
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.

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

Dirty and run down
When we arrived we were surprised at how dirty the place was. The refrigerator was filthy, all counters in the kitchen and bathroom needed cleaning, and there was literally up to 1/4" of sand on every window sill. The curtains in the bedroom were torn and stained and the top sheet on the bed was obviously one size too small because it barely covered the mattress. Within about an hour we had no water and that lasted for 20+ hours until they could get the water pump fixed (the host refunded 70% of the first night cost but also told us that everyone has cockroaches). The first 24 hours in the space we killed 5 large cockroaches. We actually went into Rocky Point and bought spray cleaner to clean the counters and fridge. I have pictures to back up all of these issues.
The beach is very nice and there are very few people on it. The host encourages using the upstairs balcony on the house in front, but the spiral staircase is in such bad shape that pieces of concrete are falling off so we did not go up there. We did use the ground level front porch which provides some nice shade.
In summary: the beach is good but this space needs serious cleaning and updating.

Would NOT stay here
We had a terrible experience here and I would not recommend. First, it is roach-infested. We found them everywhere, even floating in our pup's water bowl in the morning. I wish I could upload photos with this review. The apartment sits on top of a vacant garage, and I'm guessing that's where they come from. Coincidentally, if you look at aerial photo you'll see that this stretch of beach sits in front of a marsh. There are tons of mosquitos (so bring bug spray).
Second, the toilet didn't flush, which ultimately led to no water in the place at all. I told the owner Michaela about the toilet when we got there -- who to her credit was always very responsive -- and she had someone come out the next day to repair it. They showed up a few hours after they were supposed to, and their "repair" made the toilet run constantly. Because the property has a fixed water source, we woke up the next day to having NO water in the place - it apparently all leaked out via the running toilet. We were therefore forced to leave with no showers or anything else that required water.
Finally, there are two A/C units in the apartment, and one of them (the main one) didn't work. As such, it blew hot air and never got below 92 degrees F in the main area (living room, kitchen, bathroom, and open bed area). The heat combined with the humidity rendered the area unbearable. It was too hot to cook, eat, or even hang out. Thus, we were relegated to spending all of our time in the small bedroom with the door closed. The same guys who came to fix the toilet also looked at the A/C unit and confirmed that the condenser was bad and could not be repaired (at least, not while we were there).
While the owner was very nice and always responsive, her response to all of this was "Sorry, our usual property manager went out of town so we have to depend on back-ups." Which, of course, is no consolation to the people paying good money to stay there.
Michaela was very responsive to any needs we had. This is our second time staying here and we had a great time!

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.

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!
