Villa Sandcastle

For a truly sophisticated vacation experience, Villa Sandcastle delivers a fantastic setting and the appeal of upscale, yet family friendly delights. Part of the exclusive gated community of El Encanto, this five-bedroom, 5.5-bath home serves up sweeping views of the Sea of Cortez, with some admirable added amenities, both inside and outside the home.

Sit back and relax in the sunken fire pit, right in the middle of the home's sparkling swimming pool with ocean views. The outdoor space also adds in a Jacuzzi, a shaded palapa with room for grilling and some elegant outdoor dining and lounge space. Private terraces with ocean views accent many of the home's five ensuite bedrooms, providing the perfect, secluded spot to take in the beauty of the surrounding area as the sun comes up or sets for the day.

Back inside, the property treats up to 10 guests a vacation in true luxury, with an eat-in, gourmet kitchen, a personal home theater with an oversized screen and a comfortable living room. As an added bonus, the family friendly home entertains guests with air hockey and foosball tables, a bar, and even a disco ball in its game room.

Merely a three-minute walk from the sand and water, spend your afternoons at the nearby swimmable beach, or head next door to the beach club for dining and fitness for a small daily fee. Close to surfing, fishing, golf and nightlife, the home also adds in the advantage of concierge and maid service, with plenty to do and experience both on and off the property.
