About this property

Gorgeous Home w/ Great Views and Amenities - kayaks and SUPs! Pet Friendly.

**We will NEVER ask for money to be wired or transferred. Pay only through VRBO.**

Corazón de Cortez is located in the exclusive community of Costa Diamante, on Sandy Beach. The community offers a pool, hot tub, 24-hour security, direct private beach access, spectacular views, and unparalleled tranquility.

The home is updated and beautifully furnished. Dramatic boveda ceilings and amenities throughout will provide you with endless comfort. Corazón de Cortez (with the add-on optional casita with an additional fee) is for 12 people MAX. It comfortably sleeps all guests in beds (unlike other rentals that depend on pull-out sofas and cots to meet guest numbers).

Bedrooms #1 and #2 are two equally wonderful primary suites with king-sized beds and private bathrooms.

Bedrooms #3 and #4 are connected, share a bathroom, and are separated by only a privacy curtain. Bedroon #3 is a "bunk room" with a queen bed, twin bed, and two upper twin bunks. Bedroon #4, the "round room," is a sweet circular room with a comfy queen sized bed.

The Casita (bedroom #5) is INCLUDED in the calculated cost of any rental for 10 people or more. It is essential that your guest count when booking is accurate. Above nine (9) people, there is an additional $50 per person, per night fee, but the rental will then include the casita extra bedroom. The casita is an additional suite with a king bed and private bath attached to the main house with a separate entrance. It is very quiet and private.

If your group is smaller than 10 people, you can add the extra bedroom for $100 per night. For example, multiple adults with children will often rent the Casita so that each adult / couple will have an equally wonderful suite. While there are plenty of beds for 10 people in the house, even 5 individual adults have rented the castia so each person has a private room...no need to draw straws! To include the Casita with a group smaller than 10 people, just let us know and we will send you an additioanl payment request for the extra bedroom at $100 per night.

Unlike other private home developments, Sandy Beach offers easy access to amenities such as restaurants, bars, beach activities (banana boats, jet skis, etc) within walking distance or an easy drive. Do not underestimate the value of being close to “town” while still enjoying the peace and solitude of a quiet, safe, gated neighborhood.

Costa Diamante is suggested for families, adult getaways, and quiet group celebrations. A well-trained pet is even welcome on a case by case basis! This property is NOT recommended for young spring break crowds, loud parties, smokers, or groups larger than 12 people (any age, NO exceptions). No guests / friends may enter the neighborhood. No laundry facilities or garage spaces are provided. No trailers are allowed in the neighborhood. The HOA rules are strict and renters agree to abide by all HOA regulations as well as local laws. No illegal behavior or breaking of HOA rules will be tolerated and will end your stay with NO refund.

If you are looking for a loud party atmosphere, this home is NOT for you. If you are looking for a family friendly, quiet neighborhood as close to the beach as you can get - then you have found your home!

Please note that the 12 person is a MAXIMUM occupancy for all ages (including infants). There are no exceptions and only names on a list provided to the HOA will be given access to the gated community. Renters may not have outside guests to the house. Guest count must be accurate to determine final rental cost.

Renters may not split Friday and Saturday night stays, unless approved by owners. 3 night stay minimum.

Is your friendly fido or perfect pooch interested in joining you? We are pet friendly! For a $100 fee per stay, you may bring a pet if you discuss your pet's behaivor with us ahead of time and sign a pet agreement.

From the first step inside we were blown away how spacious and beautiful this vacation home was. It was the perfect setup for our party of nine adults. Plenty of table space both inside and outside for games and fun times. Location Location Location! Close to the pool, close to the sandy beach and not far from restaurants and shopping.

A Slice of Paradise: Unforgettable Stay in Rocky Point!

We had the pleasure of staying at this incredible rental in Rocky Point, and our experience was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived we were thrilled by the prime location, thoughtful amenities, and the warm hospitality extended to us from both the property manager and the owner. The location was a dream come true. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and we appreciated the convenience of being so close to the beach - it was steps away from the house! The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more. The kitchen had all the essentials for preparing meals for a group and the spacious living area allowed for everyone to have their own space. The bedrooms were comfortable and the entire house was impeccably clean. The property manager was incredibly responsive, ensuring our questions were addressed promptly. What truly set this rental apart was the owner’s exceptional commitment to making our experience a positive one. From very detailed directions, personalized recommendations for local attractions, to going above and beyond to accommodate our needs, the owner’s hospitality is second to none. Our group is already counting the days until we can return. If you are looking for a perfect location, beach access, top-notch amenities, and a level of service that exceeds expectation, look no further.

Continues to impress

We continue to book this beautiful beach home year in and year out for my family’s annual Rocky Point vacation. There are 10 of us, 2 being minors and there is plenty of space for all of us. Besides the ideal location, what we love about the property is that it feels like a “home” since it is frequently utilized by the property owners, unlike other properties that you can are strictly rental/investment properties. So there are plenty of personal touches that we appreciate throughout the home. Our only small critique of the home is that the central air doesn’t reach the bunk bed or round room as much as one may want in the hot summer months, albeit there are plenty of fans provided for guest use. We highly recommend this property and we’ll happily continue to book here down the road!

Rocky Point Memorial Weekend

The house was easy to find and large enough for 11 family members to stay comfortably. It was farther from the beach then I expected but the owners had a nice cart and ice chest with big wheels that were very helpful for getting our stuff back and forth to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped, but we could have used a larger frying pan and cooking pot. I suggest that you bring extra kitchen garbage bags as there were no extras provided. It’s a beautiful home but it is showing signs of wear and tear and the many throw rugs could use cleaning. We felt very safe behind two separate security gates, but the houses are very close together, so you don’t get much privacy as lots of folks were using the walking path behind the house that looks right into the backyard. The casita was a very nice extra. All in all I would recommend the house and I would definitely stay again.

There were 8 adults that stayed in this wonderful home. It was very comfortable. You are close to the ocean and the community pool. The home had plenty dishes, pans, silverware and water available for the house. We fixed a few dinners and had everything we needed. I suggest buying the large shrimp in town and cooking them on the grill. I would recommend you consider this home when staying in Rocky Point.

We rented this spacious home for a family trip. It is just as pictured with a large fenced courtyard around the home. There are plenty of supplies for cooking, and the children enjoyed cartoons on the TV. Please note that guests are not allowed onto the property. Only your party will be allowed in. This assures the safety of the property. Our two small dogs loved discovering the walks to the beach.

Great Property

My family really enjoyed the house and the big backyard. We wished we had more time to hangout back there. The property manager Noe met us at the house for check in. He walked me through the property and showed me where everything was and how to work things. Which doesn't usually happen but I appreciated that he did. He responded quickly when I needed him. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans. The house was big enough for our group of 9 and pretty close to the beach. It's maybe a 2 minute walk down the pathway. And the swimming pool was about a 2 minute walk the other way. So the house is in a perfect location. We couldn't find the park. But also didn't ask anyone where it was. We played games in the backyard. Some I brought. Others provided by the owners. They really thought of everything when equipping the house. The property is in a double gated community so it's very safe. We had no issues. We will definitely be staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by The VanPeenen & Goldfinger Families

Host profile image
We purchased this home and renovated it to enjoy with our families. As co-owners, we are dedicated to providing our guests with a peaceful and relaxing stay. We take pride in providing great communication and service - as well as some of the best amenities offered. We find that our renters treat this home as if it's their own, which has allowed us to maintain high quality supplies and finishes. We LOVE this property and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do, and help us take care of it with pride.

Why they chose this property

This is a very special property. We love the Costa Diamante neighborhood for it's great security, helpful staff, and friendly neighbors. We love the private beach, fantastic views, and direct access to the sand on a lighted path. We used to rent in the Las Conchas area, but we much prefer the convenience of Sandy Beach while still benefiting from a large private home. The roads are all paved and the utility lines are underground - making the whole area beautiful. This property is perfect for families, adult vacationers, and people looking for a quiet, relaxing stay. We will be honest and let you know that this property is not suggested for young "spring breakers," groups larger than 12, smokers, or groups looking to "party" on the beach or in the home. The rules here are strict and will be enforced, so if you are looking for loud fun, late nights, or bigger groups, the resorts would be a much better match for you. This home is perfect for families and smaller groups (and even a pet, with permission!) looking for value luxury.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many condos and homes on Sandy Beach, but as soon as we saw this house, we fell in love with it! The high dramatic brick "boveda" ceilings, unmatched views, and convenience to everything sold us on this property. We can take sunset walks to many different restaurants or just hop next door for cocktails at Colins. We take advantage of the close proximity to the Sandy Beach resorts for jet skiing, banana boats and more! The house needed a lot of work when we purchased is - but now it is updated, freshly painted, and furnished beautifully. Why pay $20/ hour or $65-$75 / day for a kayak or SUP!? We provide you with two of each for FREE! We stock many amenities others do not - from oils and spices to fun beach supplies. We look forward to sharing it all with you!
