The location can’t be beat. The path down to the beach is fantastic and the only sound at night is the waves. Extra bonus that they allow for a dog. BUT as someone who rents a house based on the reviews on VRBO, I take issue with the folks saying this property is “exceptional.” The house is clean but very tired. Rust is everywhere (window blinds, shower rods, lounge chairs) and the sliding door does not slide. There’s a reason they don’t show photos of the kitchen. I’ve traveled the Baja peninsula for 25 years so I understand the vibe and expect some inconveniences in exchange for seclusion and beauty, but I would not rent this house again.
location is amazing. there were lots of comments about the directions yet they are EASY. so dont worry. but dont use GPS per owners recommendation which I trust. Philip stayed in touch with us throughout our stay , checking in which was very nice. Owner recommendation for quick local groceries was great. yes, bring bug spray and if needed go to a pharmacy and get Gelmicin which helps.
We’ve been to punta banda multiple times. We love it and keep coming back. Beautiful beach as your backyard. Pods of dolphins in the morning while sipping coffee, beautiful sunsets in the evening. All day boogie boarding for my kids.
House is spacious. Owners have great communication. Though, Come prepared with bug spray. unfortunately my teenage boys were eaten up by mosquitos. Other than that, our stay was great!
Nice view, pretty, classic house. The house is fully equipped with utensils and the views to the beach are amazing.
Arrived during daylight since it is a little complicated to get there and see the exits.
You can’t beat having the beach as your backyard and Phillip is the best host he was there to help us with all our needs. We’re looking forward to our next stay.
Our Christmas vacation was so much fun enjoyed running on the beach eating at the local restaurants the bufedora just around the corner. Highly recommended will come again the host were so helpful and a big shoutout to Matt thank you
The house is right on the beach. Nothing beats that. Safe community, close to Bufadora. Very private and the beach is not crowded.
The hosts are the very definition of hospitality. I needed help with things not even related to my stay, and I always got helped.
Overall, had a great stay.
Communication with our host was great and he welcomed us in-person when we arrived. He also offered great insights and opportunities for the area and provided wonderful support during our visit. Everything matched the listing and photos. We loved the sights and sounds of the beach right outside our window. Various levels of grocery shopping were conveniently located nearby and more unique needs were satisfied by going into Ensenada. We cooked all but one meal at the house. We did not seek local entertainment but there were options. We had a very relaxing 10 day trip.
The pictures do not do this place justice. The location and views were amazing. The beach was perfect for long walks, sand castle building, boogie boarding, and sunset watching. The house was very clean and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you!
Overall great experience. The area was nice, host had good suggestions for food and drinks and the place was spot on. Beautiful location and great views.
We came to Ensenada because we’ve been to Rocky Point multiple times and were told the seafood is better here - true it is. However, where we stayed is not resort quality. It’s built by people who wanted beachfront. If your vacation has to do with being near the bufadora then it’s perfect. If you want to be close to Ensenada, then It’s around 40 mins. away. With the directions, they’re a little confusing. So if you initially put in Mama Bear’s pizza it gets you a lot closer to the KM12 marker. The dirt road actually is a lot longer than thought. Might have been easier for us to find if we were there before the sun set, but we found it. We wouldn’t rent this home again ONLY because of the bathrooms. Silly to say, but because they were the tandem type and couldn’t really be securely locked for toilet area , we were a little uneasy. Also no bathtubs for little kiddos. But otherwise the house is a beach house intended to be enjoyed for the beach.
There is no dishwasher if that’s a thing for you. And the children’s room, while still accessible thru the home, has a separate entrance. And no ladder for the bunk bed.
The laundry room we didn’t need to use but the machines looked in relatively good condition but the room itself, well it needs a little help.
The parking is out on the street. Nothing secure.
Philip is a wonderful host and I’m sure if we had, had any real problems he would’ve helped. All in all it’s a quaint place to stay. And as long as you’re not expecting resort style amenities then you’ll enjoy yourself here.
Relaxing place. Don’t let the map stop you from booking this little comfy home. The only “but” I have is, I would have liked newer cooking pans, this didn’t stop us from cooking our meals. Thank you Phillip.
