Although Mexico technically doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, our coastal town of Rocky Point is the second (or only) home of so many Americans, it really is considered a holiday here, and if a beach vacation for the event sounds like a great idea, we invite you to come stay in our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways! Offering everything you need to celebrate a heartwarming day filled with fun and family, our spaces aren’t just beachfront retreats guaranteed to add magic and serenity to your vacation experience; they are so many miles away from grumpy Aunt Karen, you will realize that you are suddenly feeling thankful again! This guide to what will be your favorite Thanksgiving in Rocky Point rentals will make you realize that even if your hometown is gloomy and cold, sunny and warmer days await you south of the border!
Will There Be Swimming?
Your first question when you begin to think about a Thanksgiving at the beach may be wondering if you will be able to swim during your holiday adventures, and although we can’t give you a definitive answer, we can tell you that if you don’t at least walk along the shoreline barefoot, you will be missing out on a key adventure. The Sea of Cortez does cool down significantly this time of year, and if you are from someplace warm—Florida, Hawaii, or Arizona, for instance—you may find the sea is just too cold.
Our guests who make their way here from colder climates, however, do like a brisk swim in November, especially as the water in November appears to be quite close in temperature to the water in the summer months in Maine or Massachusetts! In any case, many of our holiday rentals may offer heated swimming pools, enabling guests to swim in the warm daylight hours, giving out more things to feel thankful about!
Will There Be Cooking?
This again is another question only you can answer, but we can tell you that modern kitchens, expansive countertops, and the heart of the home vibe all work together to make a space that will make you WANT to cook. Often offering extras that include wine refrigerators and blenders, coffee makers or Keurigs will ensure that all your beverage needs are met. And because our spacious dining rooms are located just steps away and offer enough seats for everyone in your traveling party, the annual Thanksgiving feast is sure to be a success if you do stay in for the holiday.
Additionally, outdoor dining areas will give you more reasons to be thankful and as you devour your favorite family recipes as the sun sets over the horizon, the sense of serenity, the feeling of all being right in the world, will be another item to add to your list of everything you are thankful for.
Close Up the Kitchen and Spoil Yourself
You chose Rocky Point this year because you needed a change, and if you are still chained to the stoves in our luxuriously appointed kitchens, are you really changing much? Since Thanksgiving isn’t a true holiday in Mexico, you have the option of dining at ALL the restaurants, including some that will offer classic Thanksgiving meals.
The resort restaurants all tend to cater to their American guests, offering turkey dinners with all the fixings. Latitude 31, Blvd. Benito Juárez García s/n, Centro, is a local restaurant outside the resorts that is known for serving the food you crave on turkey day. Also offering a menu of burgers, seafood, and our favorite classic Mexican dishes, whatever meal you crave can be prepared, served, and cleared away, leaving the main cook in your family feeling luxuriously pampered.
It’s All About Family
Sure, there are a few irritating apples in your overall family orchard, but your nuclear family—your spouse and your kids—are a part of what keeps you going into work each day and are, of course, at the top of the list of all that you are thankful for. When you choose our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways for your south-of-the-border accommodations, you are choosing homes and condos that are built for families.
Spacious, comfortable, and luxurious, these spaces offer state of the art televisions and plush sofas from which to watch your favorite shows. We’ve already discussed the beautiful kitchens, but we would like to remind you that even if you decide cooking is not on the agenda for the weekend, you will still get plenty of use out of it as you brew coffee, sip wine, and whip up frosty margaritas for your important sunset watching moments. Sleep deep each night in the most comfortable of beds, knowing you will awaken the next day feeling ready to start the Christmas holiday, because yes, that fun starts NOW!
