White Sands Are Calling

You have probably been hearing the call of white sand beaches since the moment you clicked the bright green book now button on the side of our page, and now that you have arrived, you don’t have to ignore it a second longer. Drop your bags at the door and run to water’s edge, perhaps just in time to watch the golden sun fall into the sea or maybe the moon will already have risen by the time your toes are buried in the sand, but that’s ok. Tomorrow offers more opportunities to savor the sun, the softness of the sand beneath your feet, and the roar of the waves. Spend at least one day relaxing under colorful umbrellas, letting the serenity of the Sea of Cortez seep into your soul, or if you are the type who can’t sit still, there will be chances to ride jet skis, banana boats, or maybe even stand up paddleboards. Explore tide pools when the tide goes out, search for shells to bring home as souvenirs, and if you are lucky, you may even find some shark’s teeth, impressing your friends when you return to real life.

Explore the Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve

Offering the opportunity to walk on lava flows, the chance to explore the wildlife, and perhaps take some of the best pictures you have ever taken in your life, the pinacate and gran Desierto de altar biosphere reserve (the Pinacate Biosphere, for short) offers an educational experience that never fails to entertain. Your children will be delighted at the sight of Gila monsters running across the sandy landscape and the chance to run across a desert tortoise is quite high. Over 44 mammals and more than 200 bird species make their home in the Pinacate Biosphere so why not keep track of the ones you see?

A Stroll on the Malecon

Coming in a close second in popularity to the beaches of Rocky Point, the Malecon allows offers something different for every traveler. Fine restaurants, seaside bars, and upscale shops appeal to those with discerning tastes, but families may enjoy a different side of the Malecon. Selfies taken in front of the colorful Peñasco sign, watching the shrimpers and fishermen return to port after a successful day at sea, or enjoying an ice cream cone from Thrifty Ice Cream, competing against the sun to finish every bite before it melts all over your skin; summers are quite toasty in Rocky Point but this cool treat will help you beat that heat. When hunger pangs strike, Margarita Mermaids is one of our favorite Malecon restaurants, offering live music, delicious seafood-centric Mexican food, and refreshing cocktails.

Be sure to stop by the statue that pays homage to the shrimping industry, offering another selfie opportunity.

Rocky Point Ziplines, Paseo de la Duna S/N

Although most of your Rocky Point adventures will take place at the beach, Rocky Point Ziplines offers a chance to fly above the blue waters and sandy beaches. Enjoy the views from 150 feet in the sky, savor the feeling of flying, and relax knowing that the $25 per person cost of ziplining will fit easily into your vacation budget. Also offering axe throwing, gellyball adventures (a softer and less messy version of paint ball) horseback riding, and off road rentals, Rocky Point Ziplines is one of our favorite places to be.

Salt Air Therapy in FMI Rentals Beachfront Rentals

There is just something about salt air that serves as a reminder that no problems can stand up to its healing properties, making us feel that we can conquer the world and our beachfront properties have an unending supply to the salt! Open the windows on a breezy day and let the sea breezes sweep through the spaces that are comfortable and relaxing or sit out on the patio and breathe deep. The scent of salt and sea will burrow its way into your heart, spoiling you for anywhere else on earth. And although salt air therapy can be found in any beach town and probably any beach home, there’s something special about our FMI beach bungalows that will make you want to call them home!

Sunrise, Sunset

The views of the sea from back patios or rooftop decks are destined to take your breath away and when the sun rises or sets, even more so! What a treat it is to be able to roll out of a comfortable bed and step out the door in the pre-dawn hours, perhaps sipping a cup of fresh brewed coffee and watching the sky come to alight in a kaleidoscope of colors, especially knowing you can shut the curtains tightly closed in your bedroom, crawl back between the covers, and fall right back into the happy dreams you were enjoying before the golden orb in the sky began to make its appearance! In the evening hours, you will have a lot on your plate as you make plans to dine out or are ensconced in our kitchens preparing dinner, but because our beachfront homes are located so close to the beach, you know you can slip away for a few precious moments, bury your toes in the sand and turn your eyes to the sky! The fire of a Mexican sunset will ignite a fire in your heart that will never be doused!

The Difference is Clear

The sea calls and those with open hearts can heed that call in comfort in our FMI Rentals seaside escapes, and from the first moments inside through the last sad moments when you walk away, casting a final glimpse over your shoulder at the beauty you fell in love with, you will experience serenity, happiness, and more moments of laughter than ever before!
Napping on soft sofas with the windows open, letting the sounds of surf be the lullaby that brings smiles to your dreams, sipping margaritas on rooftop patios, staring up at a sky filled with stars and sensing the waters that you can hear but not see when the moon is cloaked behind the clouds or is in the wrong stage.

Spending carefree days in the sand, relaxing in beach chairs that have been placed in your vacation home for your use, riding the banana boats that bump across the waves, enjoying a picnic of sandwiches and sweets as your kiddos build sandcastles at shore’s edge. These peaceful, fun-filled moments are just some of the reasons you want a beachfront home during your Rocky Point adventures, and of course, because that home is an FMI Rentals sanctuary, the most comfortable adventures will begin within minutes of your beach antics!

We want our guests to know they are treasured, and modern conveniences blended with touches of the old country will help you feel at home when in our homes. Internet, state-of-the-art televisions, and updated appliances will make you glad you chose FMI and in some cases, our beachfront homes may even offer pools (private or community) community hot tubs, and barbecues that will add an extra flavor to your catch of the day! Reserve your favorite FMI Rentals beachfront rental today!

Welcoming and Comfortable

Vacation homes are designed to be your home away from home, but not all vacation homes are created equal. FMI Rentals understands the stress that traveling with children can bring, and our properties are built to spoil and comfort all who enter their doors. Spend some time showing your son the joys of cooking as you create your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchens or finally take the time to learn the intricacies of Dungeons and Dragons when you gather round the large dining room table playing the game with your kids. The living rooms, designed to be lived in, offer the space to watch television, play a game of charades, or simply discuss the adventures you are having south of the border! Here is where you can practice your Spanish (“Dónde está el baño” is an especially important phrase to master!) or take a much-needed nap after riding the banana boats on a fun filled Thursday afternoon.

The patio overlooking the sea, if you planned right, is where you will spend more than a fair portion of your stay, as you watch the sun rise and set, grill up the catch of the day, or sit and watch the littles play in the sand. Walk a few steps further and join them, building sandcastles at shore’s edge, knowing the sea will wash it all away before long! The Sea of Cortez is your backyard during your stay, and the fun had here will create memories that last a lifetime.

At the end of the day, tucking your tuckered out tikes into bed gives parents some much needed time alone. Pour a glass of wine and head back to the patio and sit for a while, letting the sounds of the Gulf calm your soul and ready you for your own night’s slumber. Our FMI Rentals family homes offer peaceful bedrooms designed to give occupants a long night’s sleep; only happy dreams are accepted here!

Viva Puerta Peñasco!

Not all adventures have to be held in the comfort of your FMI Rentals vacation home away from home. Exploring the culture and beauty of Rocky Point is rewarding and exciting! Spend some of your hours browsing shops filled with handmade treasures and pick up a few memories to carry back home: a terra cotta and metal sun that reminds you of your time in the sun, a colorful blanket that warms you against the cold of a northern winter, or some beautiful silver jewelry that will shine against your tanned skin. Your children, not normally appreciative of shopping, will find some treasures of their own, including an oversized sombrero made of velvet and shiny fake jewels that makes them giggle uncontrollably!

Dinners at Balboas, a local family restaurant, features seafood, Mexican specialties, and for children who just have not developed an adventurous palate as of yet, an American menu that will suit just fine. Located at Av. Plutarco Elías Calles 89, Balboas, the food is delicious and the waterfront views are spectacular! The Aquariam Mar de Cortez, Benito Juárez, 83554, is home to sea creatures of all shapes and sizes, but the giant shark’s head filled with teeth is always a favorite for the youngsters and makes the perfect photo opportunity as playful children stand inside, knowing they are safe standing in the mouth of an artificial shark, especially with mom and dad standing nearby!
