Nice, large townhouse.
The house was big, and beautiful; even nicer in-person. There were a few issues with the stay. One downside was that there were ants all over the downstairs master bedroom. I used some spray to get rid of them, but they kept returning. I reached out to property owner about it, she was nice, but communication was so-so. Not sure if it was my signal, or just a different issue, but I didn’t receive response to my text messages at all, and responses on VRBO were at a somewhat decent rate. Also, the fridge takes a very long time to cool stuff down. I made sure to follow the directions and only put some water bottles and soda cans, and Gatorade inside, but it still took about 14 hours to get cool. Lastly, the hot water in the downstairs restroom (hallway, not en-suite) did not work at all. The drain in the shower also backed up right away and smelt like sewer. The en-suite restroom was fine. The house is about 25 mins from town/the beach. The beach by the house was very nice, and peaceful. Overall, it was a nice stay even with the issues. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Great stay
Overall this place is exactly what it says it is. I always look for places to stay in this area as it is clean, quiet, peaceful and you feel safe. We checked in late because we were in the city having fun and Kimberly was great in communicating with me and really nice. I had no issues with the house nor her, I just wanted to be courteous and let her know we were checking in late so that she didn't think we were a no show. The kitchen sink faucet could be updated to match the house and so can the master bathroom shower head but overall they do what they are suppose to do, no biggy. Just my opinion 😊 We would definitely stay here again.

5 minute walk to secluded beach!
Gated, safe, quiet community. Townhome is 5 minute walk to the beach. Clean, well equipped, comfy townhome with great rooftop patio with views of the sunset and miles of beach. Kitchen had everything we needed, bedrooms and baths were clean and comfy, private parking spot and even included beach chairs and an umbrella!

Make good memories!
This was our first time staying in the Playa Encanto Area. I would recommend this area if you want a more private beach time. Kim's rental was a great place to stay with my family. Clean home and comfortable beds. The home is close to the beach, where there are some big palapas that you can relax under with shade. I would like to come back here again with my family and continue making good memories!

Had a Great Time!
The home was very large, clean, and comfortable! And only five minutes to a very large beach that was almost deserted! Our only complaint is that there were no nearby stores - it's a 25 minute drive into Puerto Penasco. But if you are looking for a quiet getaway this place was perfect!

Great home not far from the beach. We found the Oster farm in the neighborhood on our last day, and it's not far from the back of the house! Great host, and lovely home.

Nice town home but not close to town or any stores
Was nice that everything was provided but was as clean as you can expect, the sponge that you was dishes with was no a new one so it left your hands smelling for a while. The restroom in the hall by the second bedroom doesn’t lock, so that might be an issue if you have multiple families staying, and also the shower head there comes of, the refrigerator leaks so your food needs to be well covered, but overall it’s a quiet, tranquil place and I loved that’s there security when entering the community.

nice home
Loved the house. 3 bedrooms with 3 restrooms, which was a big plus for us. The house was a bit out of the way, maybe 20 - 30 minutes from the town center. But we loved it! The beach was secluded. My dog and family freely walked around without bothering other people and we didn't have to worry about vendors. The place was very clean and check in was so easy. we had no trouble with the property manager either. She answered all of my messages in a timely manner. Would definitely stay there again.
