Nearly everyone in the world has dreamed about a beach vacation, even people who live near a beach will dream about other beaches, and when it is time to stop dreaming and start planning, much of the world looks in the direction of Rocky Point, Mexico. Offering the serenity of the Sea of Cortez and a laid back vibe that you will find easy to slip into, the only thing that makes a beach vacation south of the border even more wonderful, is choosing FMI Rentals for your accommodations. This guide to planning the perfect Rocky Point beach vacation in our beach rentals will ensure that this escape to the sea is one you will never want to end!
Why Rocky Point?
The US has many delightful beaches across its great expanse and chances are you have sampled many of them. Rocky Point beach adventures take on a different element of wonder when enjoyed in Rocky Point, and because life down here is less expensive than what you find elsewhere, you can afford to extend your vacation an extra day or two. And even though you are spending less to enjoy a beach vacation in Rocky Point, your adventures will seem more. The sun shines brighter, the waters feel warmer against your skin, and the friendly people who are residents of this beautiful fishing village will enhance your experience, add an extra layer of perfection to this dream vacation come true.
Life hits differently in Mexico and you will find your attitude begins to mirror that of this tranquil nation. You will walk slower, sleep more, and notice the small things as well as the big things and when your time in Mexico comes to an end, you will take that attitude back to real life, perhaps pushing away the chaos and tension of alarm clocks that ring too early, meetings that run too long, and days that are far too short!
Rocky Point Adventures
Saving money while traveling to Rocky Point has some unexpected benefits when it comes to enjoying your adventures, enabling you to take an extra snorkeling adventure around Bird Island, buy two bottles of tequila during your visit to the Tequila Factory, and be thankful for the washer and dryer in your summery sanctuary, knowing that you have plenty of empty space in your luggage for all the souvenirs you are going to purchase.
The shopping landscape of our Mexican fishing village is an exciting one and you will easily be able to shop ‘til you drop, and because the shops open a little later, early risers can set up a pole and a chair at shore’s edge, catching the evening’s dinner before cleaning up and hitting the stores. But it is the allure of foreign lands that may be why you should choose Rocky Point, offering a history that is long, rich, and ready to be explored. The hotel Al Capone stayed in during Prohibition still stands, the Posada de Roca, the statue entitled El Camaronero serving as a way of paying homage to the shrimp fisherman who risked everything for their families, even El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve, all provide a peek into history and more reasons to choose Rocky Point!
Why Choose a Rocky Point Beach Rental?
You have been dreaming about a beach vacation your entire life and you think you might want to enjoy a vacation space that is further inland, perhaps closer to town and shops? Of course you won’t, if you are planning a beach vacation you want to be at the beach as much as possible and our beachfront 2-bedroom rentals at Marina Pinacate resort are sure to enhance your vacation experience. Offering the choice of condos overlooking the sea or cottages that feature white sand as their backyards, you are sure to find the escape that fits just right.
Reflecting the tranquility of the Sea of Cortez, each space we provide in these locations will ensure that your every moment is spent surrounded by the scents and sounds of the waters that lap against sandy shores not far from your door! And every night, no matter which type of retreat you choose, you may find yourself lounging on chairs placed on balconies and back decks, waiting for the best show of the day to arrive, the one that stars the sun falling into the sea.
Condos on the Beach
Located in the best condo communities in Rocky Point, smaller traveling groups may decide that the smaller price fits their budget best, and even as condos will cost less than cottages, the luxuries you experience will be equal.
Living Rooms Are for Living the Good Life
Living areas will be furnished with plush sofas and chairs, each placed to enjoy views of state of the art televisions AND the blue waters of the Sea of Cortez, providing a competition for your attention that you just know is going to be a battle in which the TV will lose. Afternoon naps, however, will be appreciated, perhaps enjoyed with the sliding doors open, letting in salt air and the roar of the surf. And on the rare rainy day, (Did you know that Rocky Point experiences 330 days of sunshine every year?) sitting in that comfy chair where the light is best will be where you might find yourself reading the book you carried with you on the plane, knowing that yes, you can read another chapter because there are no crazy demands on your schedule.
Save Money, Eat Healthy
The fully equipped kitchens of our beachy condos are the secret to saving even more money and is one of the many reasons hotels have fallen out of favor. You aren’t forced to dine at restaurants for every meal and if you happen to be successful during that fishing charter you took earlier in your visit, you won’t even have to shop for the main dish! Of course, you won’t want to eat EVERY meal at home; this is a vacation, and the restaurants of Rocky Point do make it a foodie’s paradise! But when you do decide to utilize the luxuriously appointed kitchens, dining room tables are going to be located just steps away allowing guests to enjoy delicious meals while relaxing at home; or you could just take your plate to the balcony and enjoy seaside views that will feed your soul as much as the meal you just prepared has.
Community Amenities
As if being on the beach isn’t enough, the communities of our condos offer an array of amenities that will remind you that you didn’t have to sacrifice a single thing when you chose condo over cottage. Offering fitness centers (yes, they are used and no we don’t judge if you choose to use them or not) pools, hot tubs, and grilling areas, you may decide that you want to pencil in at least one stay at home day, just to relax and play a little closer to your bedroom!
Elevators are an amenity you probably didn’t think about until you were on the first floor surrounded by a lot of luggage and your condo was on the second or higher floor! Gated communities, 24-hour security, and exclusive parking, as well as beach showers and private beach access are amongst some other amenities you should expect to find in your FMI Rentals beachfront condo.
Beach Cottages of All Sizes
Although we do offer some 3-bedroom condos that provide more room for more guests, larger families and traveling groups will more than likely want to choose a cottage on the beach and as our “cottages” offer as many as 6 bedrooms, we think you will all be extremely comfortable. And as you wait outside the door that will open to the most comfortable adventures, you will probably be able to at least hear the roar of the surf, if not actually see the blue waters and white sands that are waiting to be your playground for the duration of the stay.
Step into Spaciousness
Having the space to spread out and to retreat to when the world becomes too people-y is an amenity you may not have thought about before, unless you were raised in the generation that always stayed in hotels while on vacation. You will feel the FMI Rentals difference within a few steps, feeling welcomed, invited, and excited to check out all the extras we are known for.
The rooms will be light and furnished with more than enough comfortable seating, ensuring that all who reside within will have a place to sit when watching television, to nap after a long time frolicking in the surf, and all will have a place at the table. Kitchens will be large enough for multiple chefs to share the space, developing a comfortable rhythm as they work together to feed their large group that are waiting around the table. And speaking of the table, the dining rooms of our beach cottages will be large enough for everyone to have a comfortable seat while dining!
A Peek into the Culture
Our beachy spaces may also offer a peek into our native culture in a variety of ways. We love color down here, and bathrooms may include colorful tiles that adds cheer to the spaces, making it impossible not to be cheerful yourself. Intricate coved ceilings line with red bricks are called boveda ceilings, and if you don’t find yourself wondering if you can do something like that in your own dining room, we will be surprised. Wood furniture may be carved with designs and accented with vibrant colors, lightening and brightening the room they rest in even further Exteriors will be covered in colorful stucco, and multicolored tile roofs remind visitors again just how colorful our Mexican heritage is. Everywhere you look, you will find some nod to our cultural heritage blended in with comfort and luxury.
Beach Cottage Amenities
You won’t spend every minute at the beach, especially when you see all the amenities that can be found in our beachy escapes. Fireplaces that may be in the living room and primary suite, deep tubs that may be jetted for extra relief, even wet bars furnished with everything you need for a party, minus the actual alcohol. Some may offer game rooms or simply provide a pool table to be used whenever and others may feature bedrooms with private patios that overlook the sea.
Life’s a Beach in Rocky Point
There are many ways you can spend each day in Rocky Point, but we all know that it is the beach that brought you here, and it is the beach that your soul craves. Walking along shore’s edge at sunrise, watching with bated breath as the world comes alive around you and then repeating that journey at sunset, feeling at a loss for words when the sky turns to fire. Staking out a section of land for you and your group, marking your territory with colorful beach blankets, chairs, coolers, and an umbrella and then lying in the sun, feeling its warm rays beat down on skin that has been starved of sunlight throughout the winter.
Teaching your children about the creatures that remain behind in tidepools when low tide is at hand, building sandcastles with your tiniest travelers, and maybe learning how to surf with your oldest little’s. Every day at the beach is worth 10 days at work, and when you come home to our beachy retreats at the end of every day, the wonders will continue. Reserve your favorite escape today!
