We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the home and location. We did have a minor A/C issue during our stay, but Gary was very responsive himself to our needs and had someone come out and had it repaired promptly. We really appreciated how quickly Gary addressed the issue and made sure we were taken care of. Things can happen with any home, and what really matters is how a host responds. Gary handled it quickly and professionally without hesitation. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. This home is where memories are made and joy is shared.

Casa Nelson is the perfect house for six people. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed to prepare our meals . Nice big covered patio that provided ample outdoor seating and table for eating. We had two days of beach side massages under the covered patio. The beach is just steps away, and the house provides stunning ocean views all along the backside. It was a nice treat to have firewood already provided for the fire pit as the nights do cool down. The air conditioner worked great and the hot water for the showers was terrific. An added bonus is a coffee maker that does both drip and K cups. Plus there’s a countertop ice maker that kept us stocked with ice. I had a couple questions for Gary before our trip and he was great in his responses. I’ll be back to this property.

Great location. Great home. Thank you, Gary!

Host Response

Disappointed with all the cigarette butts in the fire pit, bushes and entry walkway. We’re not opposed to smoking outside but can’t you dispose of the butts in the garbage?

We always love Gary’s place! Perfect location, perfect ambiance! So grateful that we get to spend a few days here now and again!

This is an amazing house, right on the beach, very clean, and description of amenities was completely accurate. I cook a lot when in Rocky Point and this kitchen had everything I needed. Gary is a great host, checked with us a few hours after check in yo make sure everything was good and if we had any issues. I will definitely stay at this house again if it is available. The price was worth it and this area of Los Conchas is very private and peaceful. Thank you Gary.

It was beautiful. The garage was oversized . The towels were very adequate. The frige was clean. I cannot wait to come back again. Thanks Gary.

Casa de Nelson is nicely situated within Los Conchas. Being more towards the center of the strip, access is easy and getting to downtown areas is quick. The house simply feels like a beach house and we really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of everything when it comes to kitchen and appliances, seating areas and comfy sofas, bedrooms/bathrooms and amenities etc. The place has everything you need, except one thing I would have preferred is maybe more comfortable/non-plastic seating for the patio. I know the salt air takes it's toll on patio furniture, but the plastic adirondack chairs just weren't comfortable to me and I ended up just sitting on the wall instead. Minor inconvenience. But, take advantage of the location and hang on the beach or just under the roof line and escape the sun with plenty of shade. The house is set up really nice and again, "a nice beachy feel". We had our two senior dogs along and it was a good setup for them as well. All in all, a really nice find!

We are a family of five that stayed for a week at Gary’s place from June 24-July 1st and we were extremely impressed. Seeing photos of the interior then actually walking into the house and seeing the breathtaking views of the beach were amazing. Gary was kind enough to allow us to check in earlier and also took the time to stop by and make sure we got in okay. We checked in and then went and bought groceries for the week at LEY Supermarket. We paid about $120 in US currency which was good considering being from Phoenix those groceries would have cost close to $300. Also make note that there is a convenience store called SIX which is located after the security guard shack after you enter the driveway to get into the community they have practically everything you may need and there is also a pharmacy on premises too. Although it was 90degrees during our stay the AC worked wonderful and the ocean was perfect. I took advantage of the ambience and popped the ? She said YES 😍👸🏻

Very nice place, everything was amazing and very good hosts

This is the 3rd time “renting 3 different houses” from Gary. He is always a call away and helpful. Always a fun time. I needed to reach out to Gary a couple times and he was always very responsive and helpful. Will be back for sure.

Let me caveat review...we had been to area before, stayed at nearby resort and visited friends near this AirBnB. We decided to be near beach to see if we wanted to buy. Area=desert=hot, dusty, water shortages. City infrastructure old school; water trucks deliver water to cisterns (almost ran out; Gary very responsive). Lots of new construction everywhere; hard to find good Mexican restaurants; American food so-so. House clean & spacious for 4-5 day stay. Lots of beach gear, big patio, large firepit, open comfortable floorpan (large living room w/dining room and kitchen), master bedroom apart from other bedrooms, large area for cars. Kitchen well stocked w/new appliances and many utensils; cabinets a little dated. Beds comfortable. A nice beach house though needs minor repairs (older dining room chairs, dishwasher door adjustment, cabinet adjustments). Due to excellent beach location and Gary's responsiveness, we would stay again (not in summer-too hot)...

Thanks for your input, I’ll address those issues.

We loved the house! It is better in person than in the pics, pics do not make it justice. Super spacious, clean, ocean front, calm, it has everything you can think of and more. just need to bring your cloths with you, you will find everything else there. I would love to go back for a longer stay!

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but this was ridiculous. We rented this home for 5 nights and I can honestly say the Location was the only good thing about this home. The home was very very dusty, thick dust on all ceiling fans and vents. AC in the 2 bedrooms barely blew cold air so both bedrooms were warm the entire stay. Gary the owner had a maintenance guy come out to look at it but he didn’t do anything and just left. AC doesn’t go below 75 degrees therefore feels very warm. Hot water in the shower was there one day and not the next. Kitchen pots pretty sticky and that’s probably because its been washed in cold water. The kitchen also smelled like roach spray and we had to kill a few large roaches in the kitchen. Over all we were disappointed, we really did try to enjoy as much as we could. This home needs Major updating!!! Oh and they only have one small TV in the living room and non in the bedrooms. We have rented 2 other homes in Las Conchas and this one by far was the worst.

Host Response

Possibly the worst guest ever! Left a mess and complained from the start. BBQ too small, tv too small , hot water too slow, dust from the storm, etc, etc. we won’t allow her back at any of properties. After 100+ 5star reviews I think it’s just to get a refund.

Gary was a great host. The house was clean and had a will supplied kitchen. Take some time and read the Sea Of Coertez book that is there.

This home exceeded our expectations. The pictures and listing are accurate. We appreciated having access to the garage for our car. We felt very safe in the home and area. We would definitely stay here again.

This home is nestled in las Conchas, a low key subdivision of homes. There is security but it doesn't seem strict, definitely not as strict as Costa Diamante near sandy Beach. we didn't mind and still felt extremely safe. When you first pull up to the home and walk inside, you will be treated by a direct view of the ocean through the open floor plan and huge amount of windows. your backyard is the ocean and is the best part of this property. The inside of the place is oldschool and you can tell its almost due for a remodel which is clear when your booking via the pictures. This doesn't take away from the comfort and is still very comfortable. There was only hand soap in the kitchen and one bathroom which was odd but there was a good amount of it. anything you need was located in a kitchen drawer. Most important, my pup was allowed to stay with us and enjoy a one of a kind stay! My feedback: The biggest discomfort was arriving about an hour past check in, to an Air bnb which was 92 degrees inside. The AC was off. The house didn't cool down for around 5 hours which was tough with a dog and with such hot weather outside. since it took so long to cool, I contacted Gary who was responsive, and offered to have an a.c guy come if it continued. Since it cooled after the sun went down, we didn't make a big deal of it however still a huge discomfort. The place could definitely benefit from a deep surface cleaning as seen on the cabinets which have accumulated a lot of use. the remainder of the house was still very clean, I just think its time for a deep clean. Overall, Iwould 100 percent recommend and would return to visit again.

The house was a perfect location for a getaway! An amazing view and location.

The oceanview from the front entryway of the home is breathtaking. Everything within Gary's control is 5 stars! However, some things out of his control to expect: 1. The directions on Google Maps are not accurate. Use his turn by turn directions he sends you when the reservation is confirmed. 2. The beach is not private and has a community entryway next to the home where beach goers and vendors access the beach. Beach goers will set up camp for the day right between the home and the ocean frequently. 3. There are menus kindly provided in the home which can deliver to the property. Chef Mickey's Place great service but very overpriced for terrible food as it all lacked flavor. So pick another menu to order from. 4. Don't forget water shoes. You'll want them to go discover the creatures the low tide exposes on the rocky portion of the beach. Overall great stay and the property view made it all worthwhile.

Gary's place was as advertised. Right on the ocean, very clean and comfortable and 10-15 minutes from town and all that you will need. Would definitely stay again. One thing I would let people know if you have pets that will accompany you is that Gary has two very well behaved puppies who have free run of the beach and anywhere else they want to go so make sure to have your pet on a leash at all times to avoid any issues.

Loved the house~decor is so pretty ~ so comfy & clean. Step out the back door onto the beach & water. Bring your beach shoes to navigate the rocks at low tide to reach the water!

Second time staying on Easy Street. Great ocean views and beautiful home. Will be back in October

The house is well situated on Las Conchas right on the beach front. Neat and clean. There wasn't enough bar soap so we called Gary and he came right over with it. He is very responsive. The check in is at 3pm and check out at 11am. The house cleaners were there at 10:15am and said check out was at 10am. I think there must have been a misunderstanding. I let them know we would be out at 11am. They waited outside the gate. If the house is heavily booked, be ready to be out at 11am. We have been renting this house since 1995 and it feels very safe. Never an issue.

Everything about Casa de Nelson was perfect from the directions and accessibility to the kitchen and supplies to the location ON the beach. There were plenty of bathroom towels and the beds were comfortable. Check in with a keypad, check out was simple...it worked out great. The fire pit was a nice added feature. Thank you, Gary, for a great spot to vacation! If you are heading to Rocky Point for the first time, I suggest bringing your own beach towels and water shoes or aqua socks. There are several rocky sections, especially in low tide. We also brought a 10x10 pop up along with blow up tubes.

Fantastic location, just steps to the beach, and the sounds and sights of the Gulf fill the house. Had every amenity we could need, and we really loved the big kitchen (with a beautiful ceiling) and the open floor plan. We were definitely sad to leave this wonderful spot. Gary is very responsive and helpful too.

The garage was great

The house is wonderful, spotless, and the beach is a few steps out the door. The owner lives next door, so that's a bit weird. You feel watched. We took our pitbull and that was a problem... They automatically judged her, came up to the house and said, "Is she friendly? You know those dogs have a bad reputation." As we told them, she is friendly but she is protective. When people come up to our family i.e. them or vendors of course she will bark... she's a protective family dog. Anyway other than being uncomfortable with my pet, the house is more beautiful than the pictures. Beds are super comfy, wifi is good, house is spotless, and you really do have everything you need. Pleanty of towels, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes.... everything! Just bring your groceries.

Host Response

Don’t know what is weird about the owner living next door. We would be here for any problem and we don’t hover over the renters. We were here to help with your truck problem. There is a concern with pit bull dogs. The dog seemed ok initially but it did attack both our dogs!! I asked for it to be restrained.
