Relaxing at the beach

Cerritos Beach Palace was a wonderful place to stay for two weeks of relaxation. We had between 4 and 7 people during our stay, starting with Casa Gaia and Studio Gaia then adding Casa Roca. Two other sets of guests used Casa Roca when we weren't and while we saw them the property is large enough that we all had our own space. The property is well secured, fully fenced and home to two dogs. Being right on the beach is wonderful! It's like having your own private beach with plenty of waves for body surfing. It's about a 30 minute walk North on the sand to Cerritos Beach where the resort crowd hangs out. There are surf board rentals and lessons available there and places to eat. If you actually want to surf on a board then it's best to go there as the waves break better for surfing. But if you just want to hang on the beach then stay at the Palace! There are palapas with tables and chairs right at the property and no crowds. The Palace is just off the highway and very quiet. The only noise is the crashing of the waves that lull you to sleep at night. Star gazing at night is a must, no light pollution like in the cities so the sky is full of stars and planets. Fred is an excellent host, friendly and full of local knowledge. Whatever you are looking for, shopping, eating, activities, Fred will give you honest local advice. Fully recommend this property as a base for your explorations or just to get away from it all.

Perfect Family Getaway

The house worked perfectly for our family. The 4 of us (adults and 2 kids 11 and 16) were in the main house and my mother in law was in the studio. As a blended family on our first big vacation sharing this space worked so well! Having the beach just steps away and Cerritos main beach just a mile walk down the beach or short drive was perfect. Fred was so easy to communicate with leading up to the trip and during our stay. Some tips from our stay: *CRT Surf School at Cerritos Beach for surf lessons *Explora Baja for whale shark and sea lion excursion *Over The Edge Sports (Dave Thompson) for MTB rides *BBB car rental *As Fred suggested, stopping in Cabo for groceries after arriving and then heading up to the house worked out so well to have food for the week (breakfasts, coffee, etc) We also ate great meals out -Tre Galline and Jazamango in Todos Santos and Baracuda at Cerritos Beach.

Life is a beach!!

This beach is stunning! We loved being comfortable, private and off the grid! Fred is a great host and the dogs made us feel at home. Our whole family had a great time and we hope to return.

Looking for your own private beach home on the beautiful Los Cerritos beach. Here it is!

We rented both Casa Gaia and the Studio below it with three couples. It made for perfect accommodations and had room to spare if families were larger. Two spacious bedrooms upstairs with an open living room, kitchen, and bar, plenty of hang-out space and dining table. The upper outdoor patio was a great place to start the morning looking out onto the beach. Both indoor and outdoor hot water showers were great. Beach hang-out spots were also great. Separate palapas for guest in the main house and for those where we stayed. A swinging hammock and air-mattress bed palapa were great for napping on the beach. If taking quiet walks on the beach is your thing, this is the place. It's a nice walk up to the main surf hangout at Los Cerritos to the north and a virtually uninhabited walk for 4+ miles to the south. You'll come across the occasional couple but you pretty much have the beach to yourself. It's a short 5 min drive to El Pescadero on good roads and another 20 min up the road to Todos Santos for banking and a little bigger town feel. It takes about an hour to get there from the airport if you take the toll road and the directions are pretty straight forward. Our host, Fred, was available when needed, but otherwise, we were not interrupted. He even gave us a loan of Pasos on the night of our arrival since we hadn't made it to the bank to exchange dollars and needed to make a trip up to El Pescadero for dinner after a late arrival. Fred's got some beginner surfboards and toys for playing in the waves available to rent as well.

Casa Gaia and Studio Gaia were perfect

We loved the place! We chose to stay in Casa Gaia and Studio Gaia, which are both beautiful. The open layout of the upstairs is wonderful and the beach is right out front of the property. It was very clean and comfortable and the owners were kind and helpful. I definitely suggest staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Fred Carpenter

I am a retired Canadian living the dream on a beach I've been coming to for over 20 years. Originally from east coast, I moved west in late 70s. I've traveled to over 60 countries and have been riding motorcycles all my life. More into off-road in Baja, I still love a good road trip. I've owned an RV for over 20 years now and that's how I found Los Cerritos in the late 80s. I love the sunshine and the great climate we have at Los Cerritos, year round. With the Sierra Laguna mountains behind me and the Pacific ocean in front of me, I realize it's a slice of paradise. Watching whales November thru March from my deck is amazing, and the stars at night are heavenly.

Why they chose this property

This is my slice of paradise. I've turned this dream into a reality in the last 5 years. Heavenly skies, tranquil location, ocean in front and mountains behind. People are very friendly in this area, and if you simply want to kick back and enjoy the tranquility, you've found the best option right here. Safe & secure, free from noise and hustle-bustle, this is a gorgeous getaway vacation home. Make some memories in your very own slice of paradise. There is a convenience store across the road and a delicious locally owned restaurant next door from it that prepares authentic cuisine.

What makes this property unique

This property was built with the planet in mind and is entirely off-the-grid. All power is solar and all fresh water is trucked in, which makes it a unique and valuable experience without giving up many of the luxuries of a resort.
