We purchased the house as a new build in 2001. We loved this home from the moment we first saw it. We named it "Playa Arcadia" which means "Tranquil Beach".
It is right on the water, we loved the huge enclosed patio that was perfect for large groups and many areas to lounge and gather or sit quietly and read a book. The patio has a ramp as well as stairs that lead to the sand - 15 feet from the patio!
Puerto Penasco is located only 60 miles south of the Arizona / Mexico border. Crossing the border is easy, and the drive is quick. Once you have arrived in Rocky Point, you will find that most of the people in the shops and restaurants speak at least some English, are friendly, and very willing to assist you in whatever your needs are.
The real reason for being here is the ocean and beaches. Generally they are never too busy, and are a paradise, whether enjoying the water or just taking a walk.
Our home is located in the gated and privately patrolled Las Conchas community, one of Rocky Points most established and secure areas, and the only large subdivision of homes that has 24 hour private security. Homes in Las Conchas range in price from about $150,000, up to several million dollar beach front compounds. All cars in and out pass through the private Las Conchas guard gate, where the security officers are friendly and willing to assist with directions.
Most owners are longtime residents that cherish the area and appreciate a quiet and safe environment. Many families bring their kids down to play on the beaches? Many enjoy the multitude of immediate amenities such as the fishing, snorkeling, shopping, restaurants, or just taking a walk along the beach.
