The expansive tiled lower patio runs the width of the property, and puts you right on the water’s edge at certain high tides. From here 12 steps take you to the beach below.

At times, schools of dolphins can be spotted feeding and playing. The beach offer a spectacular array of activities. At low tide, the water may move out 1/3 of a mile.

Great place for our family
Everything about this place was perfect for us. Our family enjoyed our time together on the beach, while staying away from the crowds and the television during the covid19 pandemic. We were able to make the best of the situation.

Best Beach Location
Very nice home. Was located directly on the beach. The home is well set up. Plenty of space for everyone. The patio is wonderful for viewing sunsets and watching for dolphins. The only thing that that needs to be replaced/repaired is the kitchen faucet.

Private getaway
Playa Acadia is the place to be if you want a private getaway. You have the beach to yourself. Not many rocks as in other places along the beach, perfect for swimming and for the kids to find and collect shells when the tide is low. Not far from el malecón or playa Bonita. Would definitely come back for our annual family vacations.

Family gathering in Rocky Point
Our stay was great the location, the house and the ocean. We enjoyed everyday walked the beach each day. We were able to cook most of our meal at the house but ate a couple in town just a short drive. We did get some shrimp in town to put on the grill and it was out standing. plenty of room for 8 of us. We will be back when we have another family gathering.

Spacious and great beach location
My family and I rented this home for our summer vacation and we all had a great relaxing time! Communication with Carolyn was amazing and she answered any questions I had beforehand. Se did have a hard time finding the home because based off the map on the listing it was not in the same place. The beach was clean and not as rocky as other parts in the area so that was really nice! We weren't too far from town so we could easily go in and restock on food and drinks as needed. The beverage fridge was a plus for our group. I would suggest purchasing toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags as there wasn't much available for us for the entire week. The area was quiet and we saw tourists in all of the houses surrounding us also on vacation. We often saw security making rounds through the neighborhood and also the beach as well which was reassuring. All in all this house was amazing and I would definitely stay here again!! Thanks Carolyn!

We have been coming to Rocky Point with other families for over 10 years - several visits a year. I've never been in a house that had so much going for it: location on a nice beach close to town and so well appointed inside. It is HUGE! We felt like each part of the house, from the balcony to the bedrooms to the kitchen to the living/dining room was larger than anywhere else we've stayed. It fits 3 families (with children) more than comfortably. And the views from the living room when the water is in are just unbelievable - it looks like the house is surrounded by water! We are already making plans to come back... This was a very lucky find given how many houses are available and how hard it is to get just the right combo of good location with all of the amenities that make your time away feel really special.
5.0
We had 7 people staying at the house and still had plenty of room. The location is great right on the beach and not too many rocks like other parts. Loved sitting by the fire pit in the evening and looking at the moon and stars. Easy to get to the malecon.
5.0
The house is better and bigger than it appears on the pictures online. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, cooking supplies. We had lots of room for 4 adults and 6 kids. Would highly recommend and would love to stay at the house again.
We have stayed at other houses before and this is one of the best vacation homes. Cannot beat the location right on the beach, very peaceful and safe.
5.0
This house was perfect. We had a group of 5 adults and 4 kids. Very spacious. Lots of seating. Kids room has a TV with Direct TV and dvd player. The house comes with just about everything you need. Perfect location on the beach. Sandy, not a ton of rocks but when the tide is out, there are some pools you can explore for crabs and octopus. Get up early and do some dolphin watching if you stay. They come close to shore! Very happy with this house and will stay here again.
5.0
The house was perfect for 3 families. All 8 kids slept in one room and the adults had ocean front rooms to themselves. The patio facing the ocean was huge and easily sat all of us with extra seats to spare. We had so much fun we stayed an extra night. The house had pretty much everything we needed. Plenty of pots and pans, plates, spices, etc. Already planning on returning next year to the same house. Carolyn was quick to respond to questions we had. Thanks for a fantastic vacation
