Chris's place was quiet and beautiful. It was just what my family needed. Although it was 1 hour from Penasco so the drive was a little long. But we loved it,

Big house with plenty of room to stretch out on a gorgeous beach. We had several dolphin sightings and had incredible star gazing as it was a new moon. We especially appreciated the kayaks, beach chairs and umbrella.

The stay was great and peaceful at the house. It accommodated greatly to the large group we had. We loved that it’s more secluded and private, away from the ambience of rocky point. Unfortunately our GPS sent us the wrong way and delayed us by about 2 hours, this is no fault of Chris. They were very accommodating and were open to late checkouts and even staying an extra day. The beach is great, with views of the dolphins playing around in the morning. The only brutal part is walking up the sandy hill back to the house, Considering we went during a really hot month.

One of the best places ever. The best getaway from Arizona. 4 hours from Chandler. Highly recommend. We almost had the entire beach for us only for a week. Chris home is clean and very well equipped. We will definitely come back

One of the best Airbnb's I've stayed at! Very quiet and tranquil. Nice people in the development. If you are looking to get away, relax, decompress, and enjoy the most beautiful views this is the place!

Beautiful house, incredible view, on a very private beach! The walk down to the beach from the house is quite steep, so prepare yourself. But, once you get down there, it’s worth it! Also, there’s an inspection point about 40 minutes from the house, so be prepared to stop and answer questions. We hit a few bumps on our trip, but Chris respond my quickly and resolved everything in a timely manner. If you’re looking for a spacious house in a very private location for a great price, this is the one for you!

Wow! Wow! Wow! This place is such a hidden getaway!! Just breathtaking!!!! Everything about the location is just perfect !! I took the drive out leaving from Los Angeles took about 7 hours well worth the drive!!! The host went way above and beyond to make sure we were okay with knowing about different stores and which location was best to get things!! We rented the horses to ride along the private beach and also the bonfire was just the added touch for the nightly perfect weather!! Will DEFINITELY BE BACK THIS SUMMER!!!
