We LOVE Rocky Point. We have been visiting since we moved to Arizona over 30 years ago, and it is still the most relaxing place in the world. It may be a little more popular than in the old days, but it is still a hidden gem to people outside Arizona. New restaurants and shops are added, but Rocky Point always maintains that small fishing village charm.
As for buying the condo, we finally just ran out of excuses why we couldn't buy one! The kids are grown, so we needed a new adventure and started looking for the perfect rental that we could someday call home. The first floor condos in Phase-I of Las Palomas rarely go on the market, so as soon as this condo became available, we knew it was the condo for us! It is the perfect location with easy access to the lazy river, pools, water slide and of course the beach, but also some privacy from the busy adult pool area. The patio and direct access to everything is what makes this one of the most popular rentals in Las Palomas. We only have 5 star reviews in our first year of rentals and are working hard to continue that streak!
Note that only the Phase-I ground floor units have the gigantic patios.
