Not fun
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love going to Rockey Point and wanted to give this property a second chance. Nothing had been fixed from our last trip. Wind comes thru the doors, water came in from the rain in the master, the grill was dirty and needs to be replaced, chipped plates, pull out couch didn't work (would flip closed when you lay down on it). Had to ask to get clean sheets and towels (stayed 10 days). TV is downstairs and there was spiders, cob webs, and very dirty. Not what you expect when paying this much for a property. Will not go back to this property!

Great trip with some disappointments
We stayed in the house with our children and grandson for a total of 6 nights. The house is beautiful, kitchen is decently stocked with most things that you need for meal prep. The balconies, sitting room and kitchen areas were the most used, missing the beautiful beach views. On the first day that we checked in we arrived after the office had closed but our keys and a map were left and we had no issues finding the house. A maintenance guy even stopped by and made sure we had his number should the need arise. Everyone was nice and accommodating. On day 5 we lost water in the house. we called the maintenance guy and the rental office, leaving several messages with no response. A repair person from the leasing office showed up and was going to take care of the water issue. it took 6 hours for us to get water again with no follow ups or updates what so ever. water went out again the following day with a better response time. Customer service is severely lacking, even when brought to their attention that customer service needs improvement still no improvement. no one from the leasing office apologized for the inconvenience- first step in customer service. I asked several questions and most were ignored and never responded to. there was no compensation or further follow up regarding the issue. I was informed that the leasing company was going to see what they could do for us regarding some sort of compensation and a week after we checked out we continue to be ignored.

Disappointing stay
Given the price point for this property we were extremely disappointed. No working TV, house was dirty upon arrival, no measuring cups, no hand mixer, fans were loud and not in good condition (unusable), bottom floor smelled of cat urine, no working lights in the master bedroom, dishes were chiped, cups, utensils, and plates were dirty in the cabinet, 4th bedroom isn't a bedroom-it has 2 pullout sofas, and no way to lock the house when going to the beach unless you went out the front door and walked all the way around! We love going down and we do go down every few months-this house will not be chosen!

Beachfront and Ahhhhmazing!
This house is right off the beach, setback for privacy, has a great secluded patio, huge open area with fireplace, and large bedrooms with large bathrooms. Everything is updated, but remains an iconic, Las Conchas beach house, with Mexican flair, and simple vibes. Great pace for family or groups. Can’t wait to return!
