When purchasing the best villas or vacation rentals in Puerto Penasco, many factors come into play. Usually, it’s the most informed buyer that gets the best deals and not just the buyer with lots of dollars to throw around.

But what do you need to know in order to purchase the best villa that meets your needs while staying within budget? Below is a checklist that will guide your purchase whether you’re a hotshot millionaire with vacation homes dotting the world, or you’re making your first purchase after years’ worth of savings.

1) Be Selective About the Location

As is often the case with realty, location matters a great deal. Puerto Penasco, also known as “Rocky Point” in English, is one of the Mexico’s fastest growing hotspots. The fact that it’s nettled along a stretch of beach just a few hours south of Mesa and Phoenix makes this resort town all the more appealing. To get the best value choose a villa or vacation rental that includes a view and access to the town’s top beaches such as Playa Bonita Beach and Sandy Beach.

2) Determine the Ideal Size and Must-have Amenities of your Villa

Many villas in Puerto Penasco come fully furnished with spacious bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, and patios overlooking gorgeous, white-sand beaches. There are also amenities as vast as a scrumptious buffet: BBQ grills, flat screen TVs, kitchens fully equipped with refrigerators, coffee makers, and more; plus appliances such as washers and dryers.  The most value-friendly properties include amenities that will ensure your comfort so determine first what best suits your needs and then compare costs. 

3) Renting for the Short-term versus Buying for the Long-term

Now here is a consideration that will have a significant impact on costs, i.e. whether you choose to rent a vacation home for the short-term or purchase it for the long-term. Many vacation apartments cost only a few hundred dollars to rent per night, resulting in great deals for those who are seeking a short-term vacation spot.

Investment in a long-term purchase* can also result in a very affordable vacation home. Since Rocky Point is becoming an increasingly popular choice, especially among American vacationers, owners of villas can offset much of the cost through seasonal renting, especially during the winter.

Note however that you’ll need to determine your budget and estimate overall property costs by including property maintenance. Compare costs to see which property will provide the best value and rent or purchase your vacation villa according to your family’s needs.
