The living room offers a backdrop of crisp white paint that ensures the brightly colored tiles that accent the arched windows stand out, just as the brilliant hues in the blankets tossed across the soft and comfy sofa do. A 50-inch Roku television may be considered the focal point of this welcoming space, especially as high-speed internet ensures easy streaming of your favorite shows, but there is still a good chance this piece of electronic art will never be turned on as you read, nap, and enjoy conversations with your traveling companions.

The Fun Part of Your Dream Vacation at Casa Mohana

The interiors of Casa Mohana do bring comfort and the chance for fun, but if you REALLY want to relax and play, stepping outside will bring you the most fun yet.

At Home in Casa de Emmett

Low slung and looking like an oasis in the middle of the desert, Casa de Emmett impresses at first glance. A single-car garage will allow guests to keep their rental car out of the elements and in the summer, high temperatures outside will make you appreciate a car that has stayed cool in the shade. Step into a space that manages to stay cool, light, and bright throughout every season and explore a home that harbors no secrets but does offer at least one delicious surprise. White walls throughout the home provide a crisp and serene backdrop to the comfortable furnishings, colorful artwork, and modern conveniences found inside this charming townhome. A plush sectional in the living room is conveniently placed opposite a state-of-the-art Smart television, one offering a clear picture and the opportunity to keep up with all your streaming favorites! White tiles create a path that leads guests to the dining room, the kitchen, and the bedrooms and baths beyond; an open concept in the public spaces allow guests to feel connected to each other while doing their own thing.

The dining room centers the space, located between the comfortable living room and the modern kitchen and serving multiple purposes. Enjoy a delicious meal, gathered round the table with your favorite travelers or spend evenings filled with laughter and conversation as you play some of your favorite board games. Sipping coffee in the mornings as you gently bring yourself to full consciousness before heading out for a day of shopping, dining, and beach filled fun.

An Oasis of Peace

A pool is always an appreciated amenity, even in beach towns and although you may expect a community pool to be the amenity for a townhome, Casa de Emmett surprises with a private pool in its backyard oasis.

The Colors of Mexico

In a world that is often gray and white, we appreciate the vitality and brilliance of all the hues down here in Rocky Point and as you walk into Sand Castillo for the very first time, the evidence will be all around you. Walls the color of sunshine greet each guest as cool tile floors create a path to the public spaces of the condo. The living room, located at the far end of the open concept floor plan, is a bright and cheerful room anchored by a plush chocolate-colored sofa set that faces the television and the generously sized windows along the back wall.

Curtains the color of the Mexican flag line the windows, allowing guests to enjoy privacy at night, and a sliding glass door leads out to the patio where comfortable seating and a secondary dining area offer multiple ways to relax, even more, all performed in the sight of the Sea of Cortez (the ocean views from the deck will change your life). The dining room centers the large space of Sand Castillo, where a traditional heavy wood table surrounded by matching chairs provides a space meant for more than just eating. Here is where games can be played, online schooling can be completed, and planning sessions for your daily Rocky Point adventures can be held, and here is where many happy memories will be created!

The kitchen is a beautiful blend of Mexican culture and modern conveniences and brings cheer and happiness to the unit. Brightly hued tiles line the countertops and the backsplash and 3 carved wood barstools front the expanse of breakfast bar that takes up the front segment of the open kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, both large and small, ensure that meals can be created, leftovers can be reheated, and caffeine needs will be handily met. A porcelain plate in all shades of the rainbow is propped on top of the refrigerator, mugs that match hang from hooks under the custom cabinets, and the sun is always shining, either out the windows visible from the kitchen or in the form of the carvings on those wooden barstools!

Just beyond the reach of the kitchen, a bookshelf serves as the local “cantina” holding margarita, wine, and champagne glasses and all the accouterments that make bars handy for your drinking experiences. Throughout the floorplan of Sand Castillo, whimsical accents remind guests that the beach is always near, which is more than likely the main reason you have chosen Rocky Point for your vacation destination.

The Siesta Rooms May Feel Like a Fiesta

The bedrooms of Sand Castillo are where the true fun begins! The beds are soft and plush and will aid in the perfect night’s sleep and the colors of each room make it impossible to feel anything but happy! The master ensuite features a king bed with multicolored comforter contrasting with the cerulean walls and the attached ensuite bath continues the colorful tradition, this time offering walls the shade of cobalt. A brightly colored tin lizard climbs the wall outside the walk-in shower and a school of equally colorful porcelain fish swims above the single vanity. The second bedroom is another adventure in color, this time offering a queen bed that lies against walls the color of key limes! Enjoying access to the second bath (this one keeps the exact color of the bedroom with no changes in hue) and offers another walk-in shower and single vanity.

Designed to Please

Quirky, sophisticated, and comfortable will be some of your favorite adjectives to use when you first step inside the heavy wood doors adorned with large clear windows inset at angles. Take off your shoes and feel how cool and soft the tile floors feel against your bare feet and start the tour of your home away from home. Crisp white walls keep temperatures cool, even on the hottest days of summer, and provide the perfect backdrop for artwork that ranges from soft and colorful landscapes to unique wood representations of flowers. The living room is a strong yet comfortable space, featuring overstuffed leather sofas, one of which is curved and offers an attached chaise making it a great space for naps, open shelving, and a large flat screen television hanging on the wall opposite the sofa. Tucked away in the corner is a small bar, featuring bar stools, a water cooler with bottled water, and some very fun times when you fill the shelves with your favorite tequilas!

A large dining room offers a dark wood table and chairs as the focal point, followed by the large window that peeks out over the courtyard beyond. This is where puzzles can be put together, games can be played, and spicy south of the border meals can be devoured! Speaking of dining, the fully equipped kitchen in Casa Primo is where the wow factor really shows itself in this popular escape, offering stainless steel appliances, including a custom stainless steel hood over the gas stove, cabinets stained a rich deep mahogany, and fun granite countertops with hues and style that resembles the sands of our Rocky Point beaches. Undercabinet rope lighting allows for easy middle of the night snacking and an institutional styled blender is up to the challenge of blending as many margaritas as you desire!

A curved staircase with stainless steel rails leads up to the private spaces of Casa Primo, but first, let’s head outside to the courtyard of the casa and see what kind of mischief we can get into, shall we? Out here under the warmth of the Mexican sun, green grass provides a colorful accent to the pool, wood picnic table, and built-in barbecue grill that make this space their home, but is it real or is artificial turf? We will leave that mystery to you to determine on your own! Soak up the rays in the heat of the day while lounging on loungers built into the Baja shelf of the pool or practice your cannonballs in the deep end. Grill the fresh seafood you caught during your fishing charter trip, prepping it on the large surface of the granite topped cabinets that line the side wall. A seating area opposite the picnic table offers a great place to sit, sip, and chat with your fellow vacationers but no matter how you choose to use this enclosed courtyard, the palm trees planted in the corners of the yard are a constant reminder that you chose to visit paradise for your vacation getaway!

Sleep Tight Every Night in This Rocky Point Rental Home

As this tour of wonder draws nearer to its end, it is time to explore the rooms that are designed for peace, tranquility, and the best night’s sleep you have ever experienced! The bedrooms are the most comfortable spaces in the home, featuring premium mattresses topped with soft linens that won’t irritate the sunburn you may have received from your days at the beach. Jacuzzi tubs, one in the master en suite, another in one of the guest baths, allow guests to soak away the aches and pains of vacation travel, and a sea blue color scheme in all the bedrooms serves as a reminder that, yes, the beach is just a few minutes away from your front door! For your more practical needs, a pair of two-car garages offer the space for up to six cars, and a washer and dryer included with the property allows you to wash the clothes you brought and save room for souvenirs in the luggage you carry back to real life!

For the Love of Color

How Azul Mariposa received its name is quite apparent, and as the grand white building trimmed in bright blue first appears in your line of sight, you may find yourself uttering a gasp of delight. A set of imperial stairs—two-sided ones that meet in the middle at the top—surrounds the oversized wooden door that serves as your entry to the most relaxing vacation of your life! Walk inside and follow the path created by traditional Saltillo tiles and feel welcomed immediately. Walls painted a warm terracotta frame rooms filled with light, including a living room space decorated in Latin style. A comfy couch centers the room, facing a cabinet that hides a television and a charming beehive fireplace that promises to offer extra warmth and romance on chilly nights in the winter. But as your eyes travel up, past the large windows offering views of the sea, it is the expansive coffered ceiling constructed of limewashed brick that serves as an exclamation mark to the beauty of the living room.

This room is open to the dining room, the heart of this Rocky Point vacation home, and the kitchen featuring updated appliances, a Mexican tile backsplash in bright blue, and the continuation of the coffered ceiling covered in lime washed red bricks, accented by palm frond style ceiling fans that will help keep the rooms cool in the summer. (Air conditioning and heating is offered here as well!) This space truly represents the heart of Mexico, ensuring that your time spent here will help bring back the joy of cooking or at the very least, the joy of blending up a killer batch of tequilas. A visit to the Tequila Factory in downtown Rocky Point should be added to your vacation itinerary to make sure your margaritas have the right amount of kick. If you are traveling with more than one family, the smaller second kitchen and separate seating area allows guests to settle in their separate corners of the house. Gather around the old Spanish style table that is the focal point of the dining space and put together large puzzles, play board games and cards, or devour fresh shrimp tacos made with shrimp you purchased from the downtown mercado.

When you have finished exploring all the amenities inside this special place, head outside to the patio and prepare to be wowed! A barbecue grill offers a third place to prepare seafood, a patio table allows for al fresco dining with a view, and rows of chairs lined up along the patio give guests the “eye candy” they have been waiting for. The Sea of Cortez is never as beautiful as it is when seen with a fresh margarita in hand, and as the sun sets over the sea each evening, you are guaranteed to have the best seats in the house! Out here, as sea breezes kiss your cheeks and the sounds of waves crashing against sandy beaches play in your ears like the music of a symphony orchestra, you will discover that yes, you do have a spirit “animal,” and that animal is the Azul Mariposa!

The freedoms you have to do whatever you like in Mexico extend to sleep, and when the moon reflects off the waters below, your eyes begin to droop, and the first yawns start to happen, sliding between the silky soft sheets of our cloud soft beds will give you the last luxury of every day. A full night’s sleep, uninterrupted, deep, and filled with good dreams is a pleasure you rarely get to enjoy in real life, but in Mexico in our Azul Mariposa, it is simply another standard occurrence!
