Playa Encanto is the pristime beach area of Puerto Penasco and one we return to each year. The home was as described by the owner and fit our needs very well. Being right on the beach is the only way to go. I would recommend this home to others that want a place on the beach in an area that is away from all the hustle of the city yet is ony a few miles out of town. Most everything you need is t this home and it is fully explained by the owner. Plenty of room for up to 8 people. We have stayed at Playa Encanto for nine years now and will return again and will consider this home as a place to stay.

We have rented several different places on playa encanto over the past ten years. This home was very nice and well maintained. We watched around fifty dolphins parade by us one afternoon and the walks along the beach were glorious, encountering less than five people in a ninety minute walk. We will definitely rent this house again if it is available. Thank you also for allowing dogs, they love the beach

June 2011 some friends from North Dakota came down to Arizona and we rented the house from Rick for the first time. The moment I walked inside I felt at home. Rick has another home right behind the rental house but there was not one there, and we had all the privacy of the property. I loved the fact that there was two bedrooms opening on to the large porch at the ocean front. This is so important because everyone wants to be facing the beach and ocean. I felt I could be the generous host and give the master suite and bath to my guest, yet I also had access to the beach from my room. Rick made my stay easy and he was a great landlord for the 4 days we were there. I would recommend this property. Joe Ann and Kerry Hancock from Wickenburg Arizona.

This is a super-comfortable little house with some really nice features. For example, the rusting aluminum sliding doors typical in the area are replaced by lovely wood french doors that have screened windows on each side of them. This makes for excellent circulation and convenient access. The manager was friendly and the house was very clean. The description and photos are accurate, and the owner easy to work with. I recommend it!

We have been renting houses in Playa Encanto for the past eight years and really enjoyed this house. Comfortable beds, nice showers, lots of outdoor seating. We loved all the windows along the entire length of the house that allowed awesome views of the water as well as ventilation by opening up that whole side of the house. Thanks for a great trip.

Beautiful Eco House

Great location, a bit hard to find in the night time but we made it and it was well worth it. The patio is amazing and huge, the ocean is literally right in front of you. We had a group of 6 and had an amazing time swimming, bbqing, and visiting town. The actual town of Puerto Penasco is a good 15 min drive but if you're looking for a place to chill out away from crowds this is the place.

This is the 4th year we've stayed at this gorgeous beachfront home, and we'll be back for more. The beach is perfect, the weather was perfect. Definitely for those who want to avoid crowds and want to relax. If you conserve the power you will have no problems. We ran the fans at night and the solar was fine. Bring charcoal for the grill, and you might want to bring a fan for the back bedroom. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time here. We come to Rocky Point often and love this house. We were right on the beach and had the most breathtaking views. The house was perfect for our needs and we will be back again!!!! Thank you so much for a great time.

A Great family Vacation. This place was wonderful. The view of the ocean, the extreme differences between high/low tides were all perfect. We stayed in a condo last year and we thought that was okay, but imagine a house, no long hot elevator to wait for. No crowds with loud noice all night. There were many times we were on the beach this trip wothout beable able to see another person as far as the eye could see. I was at first kinda reserved about staying in a home on solar power. We stayed in late June and the home was cool enough. The power never went out. Also the directions to the place were perfect. We also saved money by having a full kitchen available. Meaning we did not have to eat out. There is a large grocery store in town and all the kitchen stuff you need is provided. If you are looking for a family vacation without the crowds or a private get-a-way then I highly suggest you give this place a try. I emailed the owner many times before going and he always answered quickly. The house also is able to pick up a wi-fi signal provided by an outside contractor. Your laptop should find the signal automatically. My Magic Jack phone worked with that. I understand that AT&T cell also works great. Or just leave your phone and laptop at home and enjoy the beach home.

Wonderful location! Playo encanto beach is by far the most beautiful beach in Rocky Point. We even had some dolphin sightings! House has a great porch and sun deck facing the ocean.

In Aug '02, we were finally able to go on a real vacation. Inexperienced as I was, I must say that I made an excellent choice. My family and I had a wonderful time. The dates chosen were perfect, not too crowded and we would definately recommend and return to this awesome location. We plan to hopefully revisit again in August.
