Private Homes, Playa Encanto house description

Villa Venezia is your Mexico vacation paradise. Located on Playa Encanto in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Villa Venezia has so many luxurious amenities...you’ll never have to leave the beach!

Perfect for large groups of people; Villa Venezia can comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests.

Villa Venezia is a gated beach-front compound with a courtyard. It consists of a 4-bedroom beach-front home and a rear 2-bedroom guest unit. We allow rental options of only the beach-front house or of the whole compound. We will only rent to one group at a time.

The beach-front house is a 3,800 sq. ft. split unit with two fully functional kitchens, 2 living/dining spaces downstairs, 6 full bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms upstairs, two of which are master suites. The master bedrooms have beach views, King sized beds, wood-burning fireplaces, large walk-in closets and a shared balcony that stretches across the width of the house. The expansive balcony provides phenomenal views of the Sea of Cortez and the gorgeous sandy beaches that encompass it. The other two bedrooms have two Queen beds each, walk-in closets and private bathrooms. All bedrooms and living spaces have air-conditioning & heat. Winding staircases on the balcony lead you to a margarita roof deck to enjoy yet more amazing views. Windows line both the upper and lower floors allowing the experience of the water and waves to flow into the house, not to mention the wonderful ocean breezes. You can enjoy those in the house by opening up all the windows or just by sitting out on the covered patio. We also have outdoor showers to wash off all that sand.

The rear two-bedroom guest house is 1500 sq. ft. with limited ocean views. It also has a fully functioning kitchen, living/dining space, laundry room (accessible only if entire compound is rented). The master bedroom also has a fireplace, walk-in closet, and a large private balcony with beautiful, (although more limited), ocean views. To get a full glimpse of the tranquil sea, take the winding staircase from the balcony to the Margarita roof deck, one of the best places to sit back and take in a beautiful Mexico sunset.

All living spaces have at least 1 television (video game compatible), a DVD player, satellite, and wi-fi Internet connection (password to be provided)

Located on the Sea of Cortez in the state of Sonora Mexico, and only 10 miles from the small Mexican fishing village of Puerto Penasco, the Playa Encanto beach community offers the tranquility and serenity of a private resort lifestyle with one of the most beautiful and less populated beaches in the area. From the lush sandy beaches, the native wildlife, and the breathtaking sunsets, Playa Encanto offers a virtual paradise to all those who experience her magnificent charm and beauty.

Only a short drive away, are all the amenities you can imagine including day/night cruises, charter boat fishing, golfing, shopping and other water activities. There are many great restaurants to choose from or you can get your own fresh seafood and make home cooked meals. There is a large grocery store right in town plus many fresh markets.

There is a new local airport 25 mins away providing flights from the states starting in November. If you chooose to drive, we are 3-4 hrs from Phoenix/Tuscan and 4-5 hrs from San Diego.

                            We have found our little piece of heaven on earth! This was our first experience using VRBO and was more than a little unsure of what to expect. We were blown away when we arrived at Villa Venezia, it surpassed our expectations ten-fold. It was wonderful to hear the shrieks from some of the ladies that went with us when we first walked in and then with each new room we walked in to...and then obviously when we stepped out on the back patio to view the grandness of the entire stay...the ocean. I knew I found a place to return year after year. The house was exactly as described by the owner, pictures, and other posts. I've had friends ask me where I stayed, and contact information, based on photos that I posted to another social website. There is nothing negative I can say about my stay. Water pressure was perfect (big deal to me since I have a lot of hair), house was clean, was equipped with more utensils than I had expected (even has a blender), super comfy bedding, felt completely safe (left the sliding door open while we slept to hear the ocean). We brought a couple of our own beach chairs, but there are quite a few already in the house; along with toy buckets & shovels. Thank you Frank - for your hospitality and for unknowingly making a special trip even more grandiose! We were celebrating my 40th life year (birthday to most, but there's a reason we call it a celebration of life now), a 21 year honeymoon (they never got one), and an engagement (on the beach at sunset). Couldn't have been more perfect!!!

                            This being our second time renting the house we knew what to expect and were not disspointed, the house was beautiful and our families were not dissapointed. kids were all on the beach from light till dark and we as parents did not have to worry about strangers with them in the water as our kids were the only people in the ocean for quite a distance. we look forward to renting again next summer. thanks Frank

                            We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and well equipped. It has everything you need; It is right in front of the beach. You will need beach towels, regular towels and toiletries of course. If you plan to play volleyball or something, take a rake to clean all the broken shells in front of house. Do not take any kitchen utensils. The AC units were not working properly but Frank send someone right away to fix it. Overall, we recommend this house very much. The weather was wonderful ranging from 81 to 85 degrees. The children got to see dolphins on the last day we were there, no jelly fish, just lots of crabs. We loved the place and plan to go back!

                            House was beautiful and plenty for my group of 15 for my 30th birthday weekend. Beach was sandy and water was warm and clear. One of my favorite swimming beaches I have ever been to. Close enough to town for groceriess, shopping, and eating. Yet far enough away to have peace, quiet, and a starry sky at night. We did most of our cooking at the house and utilized the three kitchens and fridge/freezers for space. Frank was really easy to work with and his instructions were clear with no hiccups. I would rent her again and would recommend others give it a spin. Thanks!

                            The most beautiful sunsets, a fabulous beach, security and so very comfortable. That is how I describe Villa Venezia. Our stay was fantastic! Everything is in excellent condition, very clean and relaxation at it's finest! You can see the dolphins from the upstairs patio. Wait til you wake up with the ocean view and the sound of the waves lapping across that sandy beach right in front of you! We can hardly wait until next time. What a place.

                            Excelente! Villa Venezia is Home, Comfortable, inviting and quiet! RELAX is the key to this home. Our family has had the privilege of staying at Villa Venezia for over 5 years now. We absolutely LOVE it! There is no nicer home or owner on the beach. It is ALWAYS clean! The beach is literally steps away as well as private, quiet and clean. I feel We cannot more highly recommend this property for all the amenities and special touches provided. My family loves it so much they refer to it as "our Mexico house." This is truly a rental that once you are there, you can’t believe that it is a rental. The added plus great wonderful and friendly owners. Now, after I wrote this review I need to book another long weekend for my family!! It just brought back so many wonderful memories.

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 2006

                          About the owner: We are a loving Italian family. Both my wife and I were born in Italy (hence the name 'villa venezia') My wife, Clara and I bought this house with our son, Domenick and his family. He has a beautiful wife, Jaime, and two adorable kids. We bought this house as a great place to make memories with our entire family.

                          Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Playa Encanto:
                          We used to use a timeshare to come visit this area (Mayan Palace) and fell in love. One rainy day - with not much to do we decided to take a drive. We stumbled upon this beachfront neighborhood and found this gem just dying for us to rescue it. We now love spending every chance we have with our family in this beach house. Not only is this a beautiful beach town but the locals are so wonderful and a good majority of the neighbors on our beach are all from Phoenix. We are like little family out here!

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          Aside from all the amenities listed, I have to say what a wonderful place to make memories this is. I recently celebrated my 60th birthday, and we had family fly in from as far as New York. Sisters, brothers, neices, nephews, cousins, babies....there is room for everyone. There is so much privacy to this house but yet so much space to come together and socialize that there is a fit for everyone in every moment of the day. We had over 24 people in the house that week and it never once felt like it was over crowded.
