Wonderful Place for a Special Occasion

I can’t say enough about Kathy, the owner, and the beautiful property. I along with 19 of my girlfriends, celebrated my 50th birthday party there last October. Kathy helped to organize an “all inclusive” event with spa treatments, a chef, entertainment, activities, and excursions. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Madre Del Mar and Kathy!

Favorite place to relax in rocky point!

We have stayed in Kathy’s beautiful home 3 times and look forward to a return visit in October 2015. We have gone with family and friends and also celebrated a bridal shower for one of our girls. We had a chef and masseuse come in to help with the event and it was perfect! Each visit holds wonderful memories! The layout is perfect for multi family groups, as everyone can have their own space. The main kitchen and living room area is very large and has plenty of room for large or smaller groups. The extra casitas on top are perfect for those that want more privacy. The beach is beautiful and quiet. Kathy is very helpful with tips for your visit , if it is your first time. We usually go into town one day to shop and have lunch, though we prefer to be at the house for the majority of the time. You can even do some shopping on the beach from local vendors and they are respectful of your space if you do not want to be bothered. A great way to get some local trinkets or fresh tortillas while enjoying the beach! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare all of your meals and the sunsets are amazing! We cant wait to return!

A True Mexican Gem

Kathy is a wonderful hostess and human being, a beautiful humanitarian, and one of the most genuine people I have ever met and worked with. We were fortunate enough to stay here at Madre del Mar during a mission excursion. We had a large group and were able to occupy the entire complex. It was great to have enough space for everybody, the beach at our disposal, and a nice, relaxing, quiet place to go at the end of a hard days work. The air conditioning went out in the middle of the night in one of our rooms. We called Kathy, and it was fixed by the time we returned. She was very attentive and offered help where it wasn’t expected. She went far beyond what was expected or what could have been hoped for in a hostess. The photos do not do the place justice. It is a beautiful home, and offers a great place for a family reunion, a gathering, vacation, wedding, or just an amazing get away. We have, and will continue to recommend this place to EVERYONE. Can’t wait to return!!!

Perfect for extended family

We rent a home once a year for a week’s vacation somewhere and have been a number of places in the western US. This was our favorite home so far. Everywhere else we have needed to find excursions or something to do every day. Here, we literally just enjoyed the beach (except one fishing trip). We have seven small grandchildren in the group, and they entertained themselves all day. The beach is just amazing and, except at high tide, the slope is very gentle so there is little danger to kids. We usually like to eat out, but we enjoyed eating on the patio so much we only made it out a couple times. The casitas worked perfectly for families with small children because they could be put down for naps undisturbed. The only complaint my family had was that the dryer wasn’t working, but the clothes line wasn’t so bad. Kathy warned us to wear old tennis shoes in the water in case of stingrays. One person who wasn’t wearing shoes got stung, which resulted in some pain and soaking his foot for 90 minutes, but then was fine. We were there during jellyfish season, and one person got stung, which also gave them some pain for an hour or so. There are many people in the water, so this isn’t a common problem, just something to be aware of and take precautions for. I think shoes reduce the risk of stingrays, and I got thinking later that a long-sleeve rash guard (water shirt) might handle the jellyfish issue. Overall, the house was just the perfect setup for a group and all 20 beds are actual beds in bedrooms (no hide-a-beds). Kathy set up a huge dining room where we could all be together. I highly recommend this home and would love to come again.

Great Place to Stay!

We visit Rocky Point every year and always stay in Las Conchas. This was our first stay at Madre del Mar and it was fantastic! Our group comprised of 3 families and a few friends. The layout of the villas and casitas was perfect for our group, giving everyone their own space but still allowing us to be together. We had everything we needed provided, and loved that the owner allowed us to use her kayaks, boogie boards, life vests, even sand toys for the little ones. This area of the beach is wonderful, and ROCK FREE. Madre del Mar is a great place to stay and we highly recommend it!
