Looking for the best Rocky Point Airbnbs?

You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country.

Rocky Point is the English name for Puerto Peñasco, a beach town on the Sea of Cortez in Sonora that’s a favorite getaway from Arizona — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.

👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the ocean-view one-bedroom condo at Las Palomas resort on Sandy Beach — check it out here.

The tricky part is that Rocky Point’s stays range from high-rise resort condos to quiet beach houses, so it’s hard to know which one fits your trip. That’s where I come in!

I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
