Amazing Beach Location

We took our dog with us to the beach this time and have a wonderful experience. The property is exactly as described. The beach was wonderful to walk on, lots of shells and fun things to find. Not many people. Two families live here, permanently, and most other houses were empty for our visit. It was delightful to hear ocean waves. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go again.

Great little house on the beach

Our party consisted of three older women and this was a perfect place for us. We have been on this beach before where the swimming and shelling are excellent and you can walk for miles. We spent most of our time on the deep porch watching the sea, shore birds, pelicans and dolphins. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped and we very much appreciated the hot showers and the outdoor shower. The air conditioning worked perfectly in every room. It was also good that the car could be parked off the road behind a secure gate. We had a slight glitch with the internet connection but the owner sorted it out immediately. We'll be back if we can!

Beach stay with Teddy, our dog.

We had a very enjoyable stay. Highlights were being right on the beach and a very large patio to enjoy it. The beach was not touristy at all. The fact that we could enjoy it with our dog, Teddy made it extra special. And getting information about a dog sitter who did a wonderful job. Also appreciate the inner courtyard to lock up our car in. Less worries. A few suggestions, in write up it should be made very clear how far the casita is from Peurto Penasco, so occupants bring plenty of water and provisions. It is not a short ride to nearest store. Minor suggestions: towels racks in bath rooms, and lounge chair for patio. Thank you. We really joyed our stay. Elise, Jack, and Teddy

Amazing Views!

Pros: Ocean Views! Sunsets! Dolphins! Stars! Property is right on the beach, great for walks, large covered patio, beach shade, fire pit, kitchen well stocked, (bring spices, coffee, extra drinking water to make ice-they have ice trays), quiet, beach to yourself, shells, bathroom stocked with extra towels/shampoo/soap, secured courtyard area for vehicle, had plenty of water for showers although we did conserve just in case, there is a gage to check and a handy man taking care. Cons: internet issues, master bed on hard side, there are no stores nearby so plan ahead, especially for ice and water (this is well communicated in the listing), property is on a cistern. Drinking water availale at Mayan Palace, but not ice. The more remote location of this property is actually a PRO for me, no Sandy Beach crowds, there are a few vendors. Would definately return, one of the most relaxing vacations ever!

Peace on the beach!

We've stayed at this property before. We loved it then and we loved it even more this time 'round! Kelly was quick and easy to communicate with. I emailed her multiple times with questions before our visit and she always provided prompt and informative replies. The Casita provided the perfect quiet and peaceful get away. There was no one else around. We had miles of open clean sandy beaches in every direction the entire week of our stay. The house itself had everything we needed; full kitchen (we brought all our food and prepared all our meals there), great bedrooms (comfortable beds) and bathrooms, ample covered patio (where we spent most of our time and ate all our meals at the picnic table), TV for movies (a wide variety of CD's available), comfortable living room/dining space, BBQ, AC in each room, etc. We brought our own drinking water (2 gallons/day was good for the two of us). We were conservative in our water use at the house and never came close to emptying the cistern. The internet was inconsistent throughout our stay. Great opportunity to put down our devices and focus instead on each other and the natural beauty that is the Gulf of California at Rocky Point. We look forward to staying at the Casita again! WonderFULL experience!

Peaceful getaway place.

My friend and I had such a peaceful relaxing stay here! The casita was perfect for us. We loved how it was located in a quiet area RIGHT ON THE BEACH! Loved the covered back patio over looking the ocean, the windowed wall from the living and kitchen area overlooking the ocean, the friendly neighbors, and the simplicity of our stay. Will definitely rent again!

Quiet beach get away

Serene quiet beautiful, comfortable home with everything we needed for our week stay! All amenities were here for our family of 4. We did ask ahead about purified water, so we knew to bring our own. So quiet, relaxing, hosts were super responsive & handled a small issue we had promptly & kindly. Their Directions to house were spot on. Would highly recommend for your next off the beaten path, quiet beach get-away!

Best beach ever…

We’ve vacationed at several of Puerto Penasco’s more Southern beaches and I am absolutely convinced that Playa Dorada is the best. We booked this vacation rental for the week of Spring Break but were able to enjoy the beach without any of the crazy. The house is fully stocked with everything you need. Comfortable and well stocked with everything you’ll need. The front patio is HUGE and inviting. There’s even a gated back yard that provides an extra feeling of security. Mark and Kelly were so kind and responsive in answering all questions. I would recommend this property to all. So grateful for an amazing experience and being able to return home with happy hearts!

Will not stay here again!

Beach is amazing, best area in Rocky Point. Hot water heater would not stay lite for 4 days, only allowed 1 shower, ALL sinks hot on the right, showers-hot on the left, roof leaked, lighting an after thought, skylight over the master bed - there will be no sleeping in, TV never booted up to allow us use, basic items like coffee, ice, not provided, finding this place was almost impossible, make sure you have plenty of day light. 25 to 30 minutes from town. Plan ahead so that you have what you need. Final straw was the neighbor on east side does not like rentals and did what he could to disturb us and there are his nonstop barking dogs.

Amazing view and amazing privacy

Great spot. I’ve rented several properties in the area and this has been my favorite. Tons of privacy and it is steps from the beach. A little farther from downtown which we prefer because we rarely saw anyone at all. Guards were friendly and the neighborhood seemed very safe. The picture don’t do it justice, it was much nicer than I expected. It is a small place which was perfect for me and my fiancé ( I proposed on the beach). It has everything you need in a compact and cozy space, great for couples or small families. I’ll be renting here again for sure

A perfect getaway

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Casita Calypsito. The house's location, right on the beach, cannot be beat. The house is well-stocked and has comfortable beds. We enjoyed the fact that the house is further out of town; we saw few people and had the beach to ourselves for the most part. We had one small issue caused by mother nature, and the owners responded immediately and took care of it promptly. The best part, for us, was that we were able to bring our dog. He absolutely loved the beach!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Feuerer

Owners are two working professionals based in Scottsdale, Arizona. We enjoy traveling internationally. Playa Dorada beach is great for families and couples wanting to get away and enjoy a quiet week/weekend.

We travel to Mexico, at least 1x month, and stay next door at Casa Calypso. This property is also a part time rental.

Why they chose this property

Being away from the Malecon allows guests to enjoy nature up close: we've seen seahorses (so cool!), recently (2021) a baby octupus, turtles (from time to time), and dolphins. This is a kid and pet friendly property and allows parents to enjoy a cocktail on the patio while watching their kiddos from the covered patio. Life can't get any better!

We come down to Rocky Point regularly and have built our dream home right next door.

What makes this property unique

Rocky Point visitors who come down for the parties will likely pass on this property, as we are located in a group of houses that love the serenity that Playa Dorada offers every day and evening.
