Stayed here several times, always great stay! House is beautiful and spacious. Beach is a a short walk away. Good fishing nearby. Friendly host. Overall great stay!

We are Puerto Peñasco regulars and have stayed at many places along sandy beach and this beach home was fantastic for our family and friends with plenty of beds and bathrooms and a large open concept kitchen and living room. We also enjoyed the patio in the evenings. This home is located in a fairly quiet neighborhood, has great beach access with a walkway directly from the house to the beach and is only a short 2 minute walk to the community pool. We enjoyed our stay at Casa Esperanza, it was the perfect place for our group!

I've been going to Rocky point for 20 years and have stayed at many locations. Location was good on sandy beach close to market and restaurants are close. The home was good each room had a king size bed, one room had 2 bunk beds and each had their own bathroom. Less than a 1 minute walk to the beach home had beach carts, chairs which was very convenient with ying children. Given the size of the home the kitchen area was small and the table only had 5 chairs, island had 4 which made large family meals a little challenging. The bunk beds were very shaky and i was concerned about the children's safety. I contacted owner and he directed me to some tools to use to tighten, did the best i could buy still a little shaky and was missing bolts. Upstairs shower did not drain properly, directed by the owner to use drano in the garage. It making showers difficult. If it was possible to rate this home 3.5 stars I would have. Nice home just needs maintenance.

This property is not only spacious, accommodating 12 of us easily while allowing for plenty of personal space and no competition for bathrooms. Adults and kids found their little nooks and peaceful spots in the house and/or on the deck and balcony. The beach was incredibly accessible and we felt like we had our own personal pathway to it (even though technically it is part of the community, the way the house is situated makes it feel private.) It was so nice to just look out the windows or sit on the deck and see and hear the waves. We were right next to the security gate, which was very reassuring, and the guards were helpful and great resources for info about the community, etc. One potential thing to consider is that if you are planning on cooking a lot of big evening meals, the lighting in the kitchen is very limited. During the day it's fine! The house is gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. We found almost anything we were looking for that we needed-- even a ball pump!

This was a family trip and we had a great stay. Awesome location with the beach in site and a very short walk away. The house is right next to the entrance/ security office. Being in a gated community area we felt very safe with young kids and pool area was nice as well. Security frequently rounds premises night and day. We had no problem following the quiet hours that start at 10pm but if you are looking to have loud music/ party after 10pm this would not be the place for that. You are only able to have three vehicles per community rules and the three car garage can only have two cars parked inside due to the garage doubling as a storage area for the host’s quads and jeep and beach toys. This means the third vehicle will have to be parked outside in the driveway (wasn’t that big of a deal for us, but maybe something to consider if you are driving flashy/ expensive cars). The fridge works, but is fragile in the sense that you will be notified by the host to come with frozen water bottles to place in the fridge in order to help the fridge keep cool. Don’t expect the freezer to be cold enough to make ice in a timely manner. I placed two ice trays and took well over 12 hours for the ice to freeze completely. There is a dishwasher but make sure to bring your own soap/ sponges. Kitchen counter area is limited and they do not provide things like foil or plastic wrap. Dining room seating is very limited for large groups. We had 8 adults and 2 kids in our party but we had no issues with bathroom availability. Water pressure in the showers were mediocre, but pretty good in the upstairs master bedroom. On our checkout day we had to deal with a leaking gas tank from one of the quads in the garage and the smell had spread VERY quickly throughout the house, but hopefully wouldn’t be an issue for future guests. Overall, the house is spacious, beautiful and functioned well for our group, but could be a bit more homey considering the cost.

The house was huge and clean! Better then the pictures! The proximity to the beach and town is great. Close to the other resorts if you know people staying at resorts as well. I also appreciate the security a lot. Felt very safe and fun. The pool in the community was nice and not super far. Overall amazing and big! Everybody was happy in any of the rooms they stayed in. Thanks again for the opportunity to stay in your home. Would definitely stay again. You will not regret booking.

This was a beautiful home and very spacious for everyone. The location was great, the security and neighborhood was beautiful. The security gate personnel were friendly and helpful. The hosts were very easy to reach and always helpful. My recommendations were that the home needs a little bit of TLC. The wrought iron surrounding the home is very rusted, the doors on the upstairs balcony did not lock, but fortunately my husband was able to fix this. For this large of home, there were only 4 wine glasses, I would recommend having 12, since that is the capacity of the home and they are so cheap at the dollar store. The blender base and the blender itself did not match so that was not a useable appliance. The beach chairs were quite dirty and old but we made do. We did rent this house specifically planning on having a pool but upon arrival we were notified that the pool for the community was under construction so this was somewhat of a let down and could have led us in a different direction of where we rented had we been made aware of this. Overall, we had a fabulous time, with the pool in order and a few touch ups, this would have been a perfect experience. The hosts were great!

This place is absolutely amazing! It is right on the water, wonderfully spacious and had all the things we needed!!! There were some issues with doors locking, curtains not working and the burners in the middle of the grill didn't work. We simply moved the food inside and pan seared instead,just know BBQ may be out of the question if this is not repaired prior to your arrival. Despite these things I really recommend this place! We did have a major kitchen sink clogged situation but someone was there within a couple of hours, the problem was fixed and we did not have any further issues. I cannot wait to come back again!!

A house in a very good location , with good spaces for large families

The pictures do not do this place justice! Gorgeous home only a few steps to the beach and all the immenities. We were stocked with enough toiletries and towels, the place was clean, ice cold AC, and even had Netflix on the tv’s. Only complaint was that two of the sets of exterior doors in the house didn’t have locks. We had several babies in the house so sleeping while unable to lock several of the doors was really frustrating. For the price you pay, that is definitely a must have. We had to tie things around the handles at night but we figured it out. Overall we had an incredible time! If they fix the door locks we will definitely be coming again!

This house is beautiful, the Views are amazing, but the Memories our family made here are priceless!! This house is amazing for a large family! We had 12 adults and an 8 month old and it was absolutely perfect!! The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots and pans, utensils, griddle, blender and so much more. We even had an unforeseen maintenance issue occur and within hours it was completely repaired. During these few hours I had continuous communication about what was going on. I was SO IMPRESSED! Repairs don't happen in hours EVER. Safety was never even a thought, and we actually got to know the guards as they are consistently patrolling the area, even on our later nights. Don't hesitate to book this beautiful home I promise you will not regret it.

Great family vacation home! Lots of space and short walk to the beach.

Mandy was quick to respond once we were staying at the beautiful rental. I really appreciated her flexibility. The host lacked in amenities, but the house and location makes up for the little things. The house was a bit dusty when we arrived, a bit disappointed with the wristband disclaimer. Even though we traveled during the pandemic beaches were clean (not crowded), pool was clean ( crowded with young adults in the evening). Overall satisfied with our weekend getaway.

We brought a rather large group on vacation, and this was the perfect property for us! The house has a large, open main area, and five bedrooms each with their own bathroom. It gave us the ability to hang out all together but also have our own space and some privacy when we needed it. The home is beautiful and just a few steps from the beach. The beach was gorgeous and we had a great time boogie boarding, snorkeling, sunbathing and looking for shells. There were plenty of vendors (and we bought more than our fair share of trinkets), but they were all polite and not too pushy. We felt very safe, being right by the guard gate, and never saw any signs of any kind of trouble at all. Mandy was very quick to answer any questions and we had just a couple of issues that she dealt with very promptly. I'm so glad we chose to stay here, and we would do so again!

Our large group loves this house! You can’t beat the location just a short stroll to the sand but a house away for a bit more privacy. The huge living room was perfect for the kids to gather and play card games or watch a movie. The bedrooms were very comfortable and our children loved sharing the bunk room for a great sleepover feel! We used the outdoor grill and wood burning fire pit several evenings. The community has a nice sized pool and hot tub as well as a small basketball court. We found so much to entertain our families! We always felt safe and secure at this location. The security team at the gate was friendly and kind. We also ran into security patrolling the grounds on several occasions. One evening they did break up a large party next door (although it wasn’t a concern for us) and were very professional. For days at the beach we left an easy up and chairs in place during our stay with no problems. Lots of great vendors came by - get the braids, buy those homemade tamales and get a pineapple drink for us!

I’m so glad you guys had a great time at Casa De Esperanza! You guys were great! I finally can use the place next weekend I’m so excited!

I’d give this place 5 stars but the internet didn’t work our entire trip which was very unfortunate because I had work to get done. Other then that which wasn’t the owners fault everything was wonderful. Really beautiful home with a fantastic location. We have a wonderful vacation with our close friends and their families.

I’m glad you had a great time at Casa de Esperanza. I’m sorry about the internet. Most of the town was down due to the hurricane a week before your stay. :( hope to see you again! David

Casa de Esperanza was absolutely beautiful! The pictures do not do justice to the home. It is located in a nice private community. There is a pathway leading from the home directly to the beach. It is a perfect home for big groups! David and Mandy were able to accommodate our large family (of 19 including little ones) and we all fit perfectly! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare some meals at home and if you’re looking to head to town the guards at the gate are extremely helpful in guiding you! Overall extremely great experience at the Casa de Esperanza! Would definitely book here again!

First time booking through Airbnb and it was a breeze! Check in was quick and easy. David responded quickly every time I had a question. The house was very beautiful in a excellent location. The beach is so close. Just a walk down a side walk. The community pool and jacuzzi is very clean and fun. We loved Direct tv after an exhausting day at the beach. The house keeps cool in the hot weather. We also enjoyed the barbecue grill. We grilled delicious food in an awesome location. My Dad who turned 60 enjoyed it to the fullest!

This place is everything that is described and shown in the pictures. Beautiful on the inside and spacious. We were 7 adults with 7 kids and it didn't feel crowed at all. You are a 30 second walk to the beach and the beach is perfect for swimming. We all felt extremely safe both in the house and at the beach. This is a place I would definitely recommend, especially if you have a larger group. The only drawback that we all felt was, since we were there in the summer the AC ran often and it is very loud, it was hard to have a conversation while it was running.

The Casa De Esperanza house was beautiful and conveniently located next to the guard shack. There is a sidewalk that walks you straight to the beach a few feet away. The guards patrol the area 24 hours. They were very nice and helpful with any questions. The house has a lot of area for big families. The patios overlook to a beautiful ocean view. They also have a pool located in the gated community for use that was very well up kept with a hot tub attached. The garage is filled with beach chairs that you can take to relax and soak up the sun. Check in and check out was a breeze. Take note to bring your own ice if you like have mixed drinks for a large party. They have a couple trays, but the refrigerator does not make ice. Overall we had a wonderful stay, would definitely visit again.

Thank you for having a great time at the Oasis!

House is even more impressive in person! Perfect for indoor AND outdoor entertaining. Sliding doors to outdoor bar, kitchen, fire pit provide twice the floor space on main level. Perfect for large groups celebrating special events as well as fun-loving, active party revelers. The unencumbered walkway, directly accessible from side yard, makes your short stroll to the beach a breeze. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are big enough to fit nearly an entire family. Professional 24-hr security staff is friendly, approachable and on constant patrol. Owners are so cool you want them to vacation with you. Great time had by all.

Thanks for the gleaming review! You guys were a pleasure and so much fun, I’m glad you enjoyed Casa de Esperanza! -David

We really enjoyed our stay at David's beautiful house on Sandy Beach! David was great about getting back with me promptly and answering all my questions. The amenities were great and we were really close to the beach. There is a pool and hot tub and a little park for the kids near by, which was fun although it was too cold to use the pool. We did have problems with a clogged toilet but it was fixed promptly. Only one of the garage doors ever worked. Some men came to fix it but weren't able to while we were there. Overall it was a great experience and our family had a really good time.

We had a close group gathering and this place was fantastic!

Our family vacation was amazing staying in David's beautiful beach front home. From the moment you walk in the front door you feel at home. The architecture and details of each room was beautiful. The open concept made it perfect for my family to connect well even when we were preparing meals or just relaxing after spending the day on the beach. The bedrooms were well appointed so we could have our privacy when we would retreat and not hear the others that remained awake. We utilized the porch and balcony and really enjoyed the amazing views. It was so peaceful and relaxing we wanted to stay forever. Communicating with David our host was a joy. He is such a sweet genuine person and made me feel very comfortable. Kathy is the person that handles all of the arrangements and needs during the trip and I was wowed by how efficient, knowledgeable and helpful she was. She helped make our family trip very enjoyable. We have already referred two of our close friends to stay at the Casa de Esparanza on their next family trips. We can't wait to return! Thanks a million for everything!
