We loved the house, the location everything about it. The only thing we didnt like was the swimming pool. The water looked cloudy and a bit green. This is usually our favorite part about getting a house with a swimming pool is being able to swim in it after a long hot day. None of the adults got in because of how it looked. Other than that I do recommend it! Communication with him was excellent and easy. He responded promptly. I only had to bother him twice. The walk to the beach wasnt far at all.

Excellent for a nice, relaxing, restful weekend, close to the beach, for going out for a walk. The area is very safe. Comfortable chairs, a small pool but enough to relax. I highly recommend it!!

We had an incredible stay. The house was super clean and met all expectations. It was a quiet place. The host responded quickly to messages. Everything was perfect. The pool water was super warm. I highly recommend the house. When I come back on vacation, I would book the same place.

To say we are disappointed would be an understatement! If we had 14 people on this trip it would've been a disaster! Pictures in the listing DID NOT MATCH what we got! Backyard furniture was gross to look at let alone sit on it, torn & exposed old foam, so worn out! Pool water feature/aerator was not working. Grill was rusty & burners rotted, only 1 burner worked. Definitely not enough silverware for 14 people. Only 1 kitchen towel, no cleaning supplies at all! Broken cabinet door. Infested with Ants & black bugs! No screens on any of the windows. NO HOT WATER UPSTAIRS the whole time we were there! Ceiling fan in master upstairs did not work. Broken floor tiles & marked up walls. No wash cloths provided & minimal towels for showering. Listing said there were games, beach towels & blanket, snorkel gear & kayak. NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE THERE. If you choose to stay here you should bring EVERYTHING you can possibly think of. We have asked for a refund, we'll see if Airbnb honors that.

Great place to stay at with friends or family. Very close to the beach and the host was very responsive. There are cameras in the front and backyard. Overall great stay, only advice would be to provide the dart board and board games that are advertised.

We had a great time in the patio of this house. The pool was a lot of fun for the kids, and there wasn't much need to go to the ocean. The house is spacious and has many things for cooking. It's easy to feel at home.

Spent the weekend with family. The house was accommodating and roomy enough for 8 people. The beach was close to the residence and the Malicon and other restaurants and shopping was just a short drive away. I’ll definitely book again.

Thank you for letting us stay! We had a great time and really enjoyed our visit. The house was very clean, the pool was great, and there were plenty of towels for everyone. Check-in was easy, and Armando was very responsive whenever we had questions. The water pressure was also great, which is always a plus! If you’re looking for a place that can comfortably accommodate a family or if you just need extra space, this is definitely the place to stay. We would happily come back again!

We will definitely return to this property. It's our first time staying at the residence, and for our extended family gathering, with relatives from Arizona and California meeting in Rocky Point, it proved to be an excellent choice for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time with ample space to move around. The children enjoyed visiting the beach and then swimming in the pool.

Armando was very responsive and helpful with all the questions I had about our stay. We especially loved the pool table and the large dining room table. The pool was nice as well, but due to the colder November weather we weren’t able to use it—something Armando kindly let us know about ahead of time. The beach, however, was within walking distance, and we spent a lot of time there during our trip. The drive through the development to get to the house was a bit long, but the beautiful homes along the way made it enjoyable. Overall, we had a very nice, relaxing stay. Thank you, Armando!

I had such a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out super easy. I especially appreciated the little touches—fresh towels, coffee and tea, and local recommendations that made my trip even better. The location was perfect, close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. If you are booking for a large group, I recommend bringing or buying at the Walmart near by…extra paper towels, toilet paper, sponge for dishes, paper plates. Bring your own beach towels.

The house fulfills its promise in terms of comfort and matches the photos, has a good climate and is in good condition in general. However, it would be advisable to give the painting some touch-ups. Not all amenities mentioned in the listing were available (such as darts or kayaking). The beach is not 100 steps away as indicated and access to it is a bit complicated.

This home was great! Very spacious, clean home. Great family home. The beach is like a 3 min. walk and very easy to get too. This home does not have toiletries. Might need your own essentials (paper towels ,laundry detergent), we didn't have any during our stay.. The pool/backyard was great! If you brings kids it's perfect for them. Over all We loved casa Esmeralda.

Big house, lots of beds and room for many people. Loved the backyard. Close to beach. Great fans in every room. Soap in the showers would have been nice and a few condiments (at least salt and pepper) would have helped. It would be super for a family reunion!

It was a great place to stay. Its a very nice house very easy to access. I stayed in the master/primary bedroom and it was great. I loved that it had its private bathroom. I loved the showers🚿. This is a recommended house especially for the summer. The pool was gorgeous but we couldn’t use it because weather was fresh so not a good idea to get in. It was a great stay and host was great at responding.

We loved staying here! Plenty of space for everyone and it was easy to find. The only down side is we ran out of towels, but there was a washer so it was an easy fix. I thought it was originally closer to the beach so we had to drive and then walk down. Armando was quick with responses and answered all questions. Overall it was great!

It’s a nice home. But not what we expected. The host is not welcoming at all. I had to msg him to confirm that the house was ready for us. READ description thoroughly. The pool is not heated and just a couple of inconveniences. I will definitely not recommend this on place. You have to walk ALOT to get to beach. You can’t just cut through other neighborhoods so it’s such an inconvenience having to walk with all your stuff. I was just not satisfied at all. I should’ve took pics. The floors have some yellow stains the TVs did not turn on except for the one in the living room downstairs. The grill was also not working. We msg host on both concerns and to him tvs were working last week and he was supposed to send his housekeeper to check grill. lol never did. Never checked back on us. Not sure if this host just don’t care but definitely not one that care about our hospitality.

My family and I spent 4 nights at Casa Esmeralda and it was honestly one of the best vacations we have ever had! We loved the spacious house and kitchen, the pool was wonderful for afternoons after our kids had their fill of the beach, and most importantly the house was clean, quiet, and safe! It was very centrally located and we went into town a few times. We even took advantage of the in home masseuse offering which was extremely affordable and the best massage I’ve ever had. Armando was a great host, very responsive. We will be back! Tip: eat at La curva. Delicious and great service.

The house has all the amenities they promise. The pool is beautiful and heated which is a plus. It is close to the beach which is very quiet, clean and beautiful. The only issue was the refrigerator, it had a very strong fish odor and it didn't work until they were fixing it.

Armando's house is very spacious with beds to accommodate 15 people , spacious kitchen. The frets are heavily used ; the zinc had a water leak and we realized it by chance . Sufficient dishes for a large group of people . The very spacious and beautiful dining room with space for 12 people + a bar with 4 spaces . The room is very spacious and super comfortable armchairs. The large bedrooms, but only one had a closet. The very large backyard, has a good size pool that was clean , the waterfall shown in the photo , did not work . It has a game room and watching TV on the 2nd floor with a pool table ( which by the way needs maintenance ) . The large and perfect washer and dryer! I suggest bringing napkins and soap for washing dishes and clothes in addition to garrafon water. The refrigerator is very large and clean. Armando's attention was first , communication was very good .

The layout and furnishings of the house worked perfectly for our family of 10, and the pool was a bonus for the kids. The large dining table was great for dinners and games. The house is definitely more than 99 steps from the beach, but we found the beach access and it was close. The listing indicated that "beach towels, umbrella, beach blanket, snorkeling gear, and a kayak" were provided. However, they were not. Armando did bring us 6 beach towels. There were beach chairs; however, only two were in good condition, and the rest were broken or sun-rotted. There are some items needing repair - such as the pool cues - only one had a tip, and the dart board only had a bag of broken parts (no working darts). The kitchen had all the essentials - dinnerware, glassware, and utensils, but the skillets needed replacing - no longer non-stick and very difficult to clean. The dishwasher was not working and we reported this to Armando who offered to have someone come and look at it.

Sheets on the bed dirty in one of the rooms were dirty, kitchen sink leaked and we didn’t know until the pot that was used to catch the water was spilling over onto the floor. Overall the stay was good.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! Armando was very responsive to any questions I had about the area and recommended some great restaurants. We did end up calling the masseuse to come and it was the greatest massage I’ve ever had! I wish I could’ve had her come every day. I will say the beach was a bit further than 99 steps, but still close enough. 20 minutes to downtown and restaurants. There is a small market right up the road that was convenient for snacks. One room that is not updated on the listing is a bunk bed room, which my kids loved. There are two full size bunk beds and a full size bed in there too, so plenty of room for 5 to sleep! Just note the downstairs full bathroom and the bathroom upstairs (not the master) showers do not get very hot. The master bathroom shower does. We had a great stay and would recommend this home to our friends and family. Hope to be back in the near future!!

We loved the dining room, the space for our baby to explore in her baby walker, the beach is so near we went on a walk every morning. But overall we had a blast and can wait to return.
