About this property
Casita Tortuga is a Beach Front over looking the Sea of Cortes.
Beautiful Casita Tortuga! Beach Front; Steps from the Sea of Cortez!!
This is an amazing cottage that is perfect for couples who would like to kick back and relax, only a stone’s throw from the amazing Sea of Cortez! Of course, when you’re ready to move from the beautiful veranda, there is a long list of water and land sports and activities that you’re likely to find will make the days go by far too quickly! Among those amenities that this seaside casita has to offer include a living room, complete kitchen, spacious bathroom, separate bedroom with king bed, washing machine, complimentary wifi, and satellite-TV! Also, of more interest to some than to others, we realize, the gardens are professionally landscaped and regularly maintained. We have one 2-person kayak and two 1-person kayaks available for guest use. There are few places in the world where the mountains meet the water in perfect harmony, as they do here. Situated on a beautifully pristine, natural turtle nesting beach cove, this beach front home is situated in what many consider to be the most desirable neighborhood in Los Barriles. Enjoy the brilliant Sea of Cortez sunrises and the amazing sunsets; relax as you barbeque and dine on your spacious veranda, under the star filled skies; and just feel the calm as you unwind from the hectic pace that you’ve left behind. You’ll marvel at the sight and sounds of breaching whales and the sting rays jumping out of the water to fly through the air; then “belly flopping” back into the water. Kite boarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, and snorkeling on a coral reef in safe, swimmable water is all within steps of your home. If your preference is to be on dry land, there are amazing hiking and biking trails nearby, ATV’s are available for rent in town, along with yoga and a new and well- equipped gym, to mention only some of the fun things that you can do. And, located about 1 ½ miles from Casita Tortuga is one of the very top attractions in the Baja, the new, world-class Tres Palapas Baja Pickleball Resort, featuring 10 excellent courts, with amazing amenities that includes a café and smoothie bar, a restaurant and rooftop bar. A 45-minute drive north from the San Jose del Cabo airport gets you to the entrance of the Los Barriles, the quaint little town that is home to about 5,000 people; approximately ½ locals and ½ expatriates. Casa Tortuga is situated a little over 3 miles north of the center of town and is an easy ride to pick up fresh fruit & vegetables, grocery and beverage needs, and, a good variety of restaurants serving quality, delicious food. Please note that the property is not suitable for those with small children, given the proximity to the Sea of Cortez, coupled with the fact that there are some stairs on the property and the balconies have low or no railings. Please note, also, that this is a non-smoking property. We look forward to welcoming you to Casita Tortuga! Brian & Lucy Williams

The kitchen was very well appointed, the place was clean, the hosts have thought out the needs of guests and have anticipated them in a way that is both down-played but there when on needs it. This an excellent property and excellent hosts.
We just recently spent a week at this lovely casita. Waking up to the sun rising over the Sea of Cortez was awe inspiring. This is one of the few places we've rented where the pictures do not do this home justice. This is the perfect rental for a couple that prizes privacy. We will for sure be back...a perfect vacation! Lucy and Brian were wonderful hosts as well.
We had a fantastic stay here. Very private, and a dramatic setting on the beach. The host was especially helpful and had lots of excellent tips.Would love to stay. here again!
Beautiful home. We will definitely be back. Owners were easy to work with and very helpful in providing us with highlights etc. of the area. Great location. Home provided all we needed. Owner very responsive to any of our questions. Highly recommend this place.
We had an amazing week stay here. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We really enjoyed having you as our guests, yes magnificent sunrises, spectacular view of the amazing Sea of Cortez. Your high recommendation for our place to stay is very much appreciated!!!!
We had a wonderful stay at Casita Tortuga! Brian and Lucy are great hosts! They were responsive to our needs and gave us suggestions to make our adventures better. The Casita is beautiful - located right on the beach with an amazing view from the wall of windows facing the ocean. It's the perfect getaway for 2 people. Sunrises and moonrises were amazing. The Casita is vey well equipped with whatever you need for cooking and dining, and Los Barilles is just a few minutes away for plenty of dining options. Snorkeling to the north is excellent. Definitely recommend renting an ATV for at least some of the time you are here - there's a wonderfully scenic road that parallels the ocean for miles and it's a great drive, with snorkeling spots and places to eat as you head north.
Our first time in the Los Barriles area and this was the perfect spot. Just right for a couple who loves a private spot with a gorgeous water view, sunrises over the water, and everything you need to explore the area and relax. Very comfortable and clean, lovely generous hosts!
We had an amazing time during our stay at Casa Tortuga! The views from the property are immense and we were able to see breaching whales, jumping rays, and lots of reef fish just off the beach. Responsive hosts and a great property manager this place has it all!
Casa Tortuga was the perfect stay for my husband and I. The location and views were ideal. Very tranquil area. The water is right outside your door. The water is so calm you can easily kayak all around. If you’re looking for quiet and slightly removed from the town this is perfect. The owners were wonderful and gave us great recommendations for things to do. Can’t wait to return.
Brian and Lucy happened to be on the premises during our stay. They are wonderful hosts and very accommodating. The casita is cozy, clean and right on the beach! We rented an ATV and explored Los Barriles

Two of the most amazing people we have come to know in this very beautiful seaside community. All we can do is put "good" around us.
Thank you we look forward to your return!
We stayed in Los Barriles for 6 nights to enjoy the small town and play lots of pickleball. The casita was perfect! One bedroom on the beach with everything we wanted and needed, patio on the beach, full kitchen and washer and dryer. The location was great, quiet area and just a short drive to town.
We can’t say enough about this beautiful spot. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here. The sunrises in the morning were beautiful, and the whale show in front of our casita was amazing . Brian and Lucy were lovely people and great to deal with. We will definitely be going back

A very relaxing place to stay. So nice to be away from the rush and noise of everyday living.
This lovely gem, Casita Tortuga, was perfect for my wife and I for we were able to relax, do some fishing and just plain veg out. The property manager Jose went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Sally and Paul for letting us stay at your beautiful and romantic Casita!

About the host

Lucy & Brian Williams
We are Canadian and live in Vancouver, but we try to spend as much time as we can in Los Barriles and on our beautiful property. We’ve lived in 4 countries previously, and Mexico is our 5th. Our time in Asia included many years in Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. When we returned to Canada from Asia a few years back, we had our hearts set on finding a nice vacation property somewhere near Vancouver, and while that didn’t happen – something even better did – we found Los Barriles and our Tortuga property! Having lived abroad for over 25 years and having travelled extensively throughout Asia, Europe, and elsewhere, we were fortunate enough to have experienced what we believe was some of the best that each of the countries visited had to offer, so, when we found Los Barriles, we just knew instinctively that this place had everything that we had hoped for and that it was right for us!!
Why they chose this property
Why Brian and Lucy chose Los Barriles
An amazing property on the Sea of Cortez, an abundance of excellent food of all varieties, an endless list of activities to enjoy, and some of the nicest people that we’ve had the pleasure of meeting, anywhere. This question is also easily answered by comparing the weather patterns of Vancouver, Canada with those of Los Barriles!:)
