About this property

ONLY 5 STAR RATINGS! Spotlessly clean. BEACHFRONT. Private. IMMACULATE. Quiet!

If you are the kind of person that likes spend your vacation in a place that is spotlessly clean and meticulously cared for, a home that sits beachfront on a pristine sandy beach, a magical place where the sea comes right up to the seawall during much of the lunar cycle, a rental property where the owners are very responsive to your needs and most of all, a place that feels like your home away from home, then this is the rental home for you.

Casita Carino was designed to be your tranquil oasis! The casita is decorated in the colors of the sun, sand and sea. Everything is clean, modern and kept and in impeccable condition. The cabinets and furniture were locally made which gives the house an authentic Mexican feel. The casita is perfect for one or two couples or a small family.

Casita Carino is quiet, calm, serene and literally just a dozen or so steps down to the beach. You will be treated to gorgeous ocean views from the great room, the front bedroom and your two private terraces. The terraces are some of the closest to the water and beach in all of Las Conchas. When the windows are open, the soothing sounds of the ocean fill the home.

The tides in section 9 of Las Conchas fluctuate greatly depending upon the lunar cycle. During the very highest of tides, the water comes right up to the sea wall and for a few hours, you feel like you are standing on the back of a ship looking out at sea. If you are lucky enough to experience an extremely high tide on a very windy day, you will be treated to an amazing, one of a kind splash show over the lower terrace wall. During an extremely low tide, you can walk out approximately 900 feet to explore the coral reefs. On most days, the tides fall somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

Casita Carino is located in the residential, guard patrolled community of Las Conchas and has 24 security. It is located in section 9 which is close to the end of the community where the beaches are quiet and there is not a lot of street or vendor traffic. It also has pristine, sandy beaches instead of the rocky beaches that Rocky Point is known for. Casita Carino is also located very close to the estuary which is a great place to bird watch, look for shells, go fishing and just explore.

Casita Carino has 2 bedrooms. One bedroom is located at the front of the casita and has a king size bed and ocean views with sliding glass doors to the upper terrace. The skylight bedroom is at the back of the home and has a queen size bed, one large skylight (with a blackout shade so you can adjust the amount of light that comes in) and a few small skylights in the bathroom. Both bedrooms have high quality memory foam mattresses and bedding, ceiling fans, reading lights and an extra blankets. Each bedroom has it's own large en-suite bathroom with a shower, separate toilet room and armoire.

The great room has several skylights and has a very airy and open feeling. The sitting area has a comfortable sectional sofa and a 65" smart TV with DirecTV and the premium movie channels. The dining table has seating for four and a little bar aread where you can store your food. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a dishwasher, microwave, coffee makers (traditional filter type and K-cup), blender, toaster and a Brita water filtration pitcher.

There are two private beachfront terrace levels that have gorgeous views of the Sea of Cortez (in the winter months, the sun sets over the sea). The terraces sit about 12 steps above beach level for added privacy. The upper terrace has a great amount of shade, a propane BBQ, 3 chaise lounges, 2 chairs and an outdoor dining table with benches. There is also a lower terrace that has a private beach area where you can relax in the sand while your children play safely while still being on the property. The lower terrace has a fire pit, 4 Adirondack chairs and an outdoor shower.

While out on the terraces, you will be treated to views of Rocky Point's spectacular sunsets! At night, the show of stars in the sky is absolutely breathtaking!

We have also added all the little details and special touches that will make this feel like your home away from home.

These include:

~A 65" Smart TV with DirecTV
~HBO, Showtime and the Starz movie channels

Petfect beachfront casita

Perfect stay in Puerto Penasco

Our stay at Casa Carino was perfect! Alana was wonderful to communicate with, and the place is even more beautiful in person. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Alana arranged an hour-long beach massage for us, which I highly recommend! The best part was having Alana’s support throughout our stay. We truly appreciate it and know exactly where we’ll be staying next time! Thank you

B Day Celebration

The location was absolutely perfect, upon entering the home there was a nice gift and birthday decorations and that was so nice and I really appreciated it. Communication was on point with lots of information about restaurants and locations near the home. The home was immaculate and the decor and everything was well put together. Will definitely be returning to Casita Carino.

Most Amazing vacation of my life!

The property was stunning. This was our first time to Rocky Point ever and although we were not entirely fans of that part of Mexico (partial to the Yucatán) but we will absolutely be returning to stay at this stunning property or another one of Alana and Rick's properties again. When they say the waves hit the wall to the house it is no joke!! We had so much fun admiring the low/high tides and everyday was fascinated with the changing environment. We were able to collect a ton of seashells, and thoroughly enjoyed every feature to the house. Also, I highly highly recommend the massage services they facilitate. We also looked into the boat excursions and YiYi was fabulous informing us that she would not just take our money if the experience was not worth it (e.g. choppy water). Ale the cleaner made us great burritos and is an absolute saint if she has to clean up after the ocean does a number to the patio! Overall, such an amazing experience topped off with a gift from the host! Thank you again Alana and Rick!

Perfect place for a quiet celebration!

This condo should be rated a 5+++! It was everything the website stated and more! To begin with, the view of the Sea of Cortez as you descend to stairs sets the tone! Perfect turquoise! The place was spotless and well stocked. For a nice change there was enough toilet paper, paper towels, cooking utensils, dishwasher soap, shower soap, hand wash soap. The bbq was pristine (we used copper mats we brought to make an easy clean up). The owner left very good information about the area and she was spot on! Take advantage of the breakfast burritos, enchiladas, salsa made by locals! We were celebrating our 45th anniversary and she left a few celebration treats! WOW! But, most of all, we loved watching the tides come in. The water comes right up to the patio and it is amazing!!! In fact, we planned our days around the tide schedule! It was nice to be in an expat community with security 24/7. Signs were in English. My advice….stay here and keep coming back!!!! I

5 Start for a reason.

Had to get out of town to decompress and Soak in the beautiful ocean. Well we got much more than we bargained for. The house was beautiful, clean, and Had everything we needed and even more to make our stay comfortable. The constant easy access to the home owner was impressive. They offered extras we have never received before and walking into our home for the week With a fully stopped fridge and yummy treats all over the place was a huge bonus. Thank you again, and can't wait to come stay at your beautiful properties again very soon.

Nice Spot in Las Conchas

We had a pleasant stay with our two kids (6 and 8 years old). The home was perfect four our family of four. We found it clean, well furnished, and comfortable. It was great being able to walk down the back steps to the beach, and the home provided everything we needed as far as beach gear. We were there during the full moon, so there was no beach to speak of for portions of each day and it was a little tricky getting into the water with young kids, but we still had a great time.

Excellent Place to be!

This home has it all! The privacy however was the best. When the tide comes around noon, no one can walk on the beach in front of the house for at least 2 hours. just enough time for some afternoon privacy. And the walls on each side are high enough that no one next to you can see on to the patio. Not that the beach is crowded anyway, you feel like its completely yours the whole time! The home is clean and comfortable, no complaints. We highly recommend it.

Where to start?!

I don’t want to be selfish here… so I’m writing this review to let others know this is the BEST place you can stay in Rocky Point. I’ve been going to Rp for the last 14 years at least twice a year and I’ve never had such amazing service. Alana set us up with massages, food to come to the house, and overall was just a wonderful person to speak with. The place was so clean and beautiful.. the beach is calm unlike near the resorts where you can literally get taken out by a wave. Ally- the cook is AMAZING, be sure to get breakfast burritos with chorizo!! I will be returning as soon as possible! Thanks Alana and Rick!

About the host

Hosted by Alana

Host profile image
Hi. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and learn a little something about us and our beautiful, luxury rental homes.

We (Rick and Alana) have three rental properties here in Las Conchas, Rocky Point - Casita Carino, Casa Ciao and Villa Serena.

We have stayed in many rental homes during our travels where an appliance or two didn't work, light bulbs were out, the home felt old and dated and was just not clean. We decided that we wanted our rental homes to be different and to be the kind of homes that were well taken care of. Homes in which you could feel the pride of ownership and in which every guest has the same wonderful experience. We tried to think of all the little details and special touches that you may want or need to make it your home away from home. It is our top priority to make your experience and vacation as wonderful as possible.

We hope you love this home as much as we loved creating it for you!

Why they chose this property

There are two main areas to stay in Rocky Point. Las Conchas and Sandy Beach. Las Conchas is a guard gated community that has 24 security and consists of mostly homes. Sandy beach is an area that has a dozen or so high rise condominiums and hotels. Many have on site amenities like a swimming pool, bar or restaurant but the trade off is the crowds, noise and a long walk and/or elevator ride to your room. It all depends upon what type of experience you are looking for.

If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing spot where you have the beach almost all to yourself and your food, drinks and bathroom are just a set of stairs away, then Casita Carino is a great choice for you.

Casita Carino is a beach front home that is located on the sandy beaches of section 9 in Las Conchas. Many beaches in Rocky Point have rocky beaches instead of sandy ones. While these beaches are beautiful in their own right, all the rocks make it somewhat difficult if you like to play and swim in the water.

In addition to the sandy beaches, section 9 has the greatest tide fluctuation in all of Las Conchas. During the very highest of tides, the sea comes right up to the terrace wall and you feel like you are standing on the back of ship. If it is a windy day, water even splashes over the lower terrace wall giving you quite a show. During the lowest tides, you can walk out to the coral reefs and explore the sea life.

Casita Carino is also located very close to the estuary which is a wonderful place to bird watch, look for shells, fish and explore.

Casita Carino is clean, modern and tranquil. It is kept in impeccable condition. Every item in the home was carefully chosen to reflect the peace and serenity we wanted to create. It is even decorated in the colors of the sand, sun and sea.

Casita Carino has it all! Come see for yourself
