Our stay was wonderful. The Open Sky Ranch Villas were perfect for family holiday with grandparents and a little family with a ten and five year old. The pool and amenities kept everyone entertained. The location was so convenient and having the fun golf cart was a blast.

We’re so happy to hear you had such a great stay! It means a lot to know the villas worked well for your whole family and that everyone enjoyed the pool, amenities, and easy location. The golf cart is always a favorite, so we’re glad it added to the fun. Thank you for choosing Open Sky Ranch Villas—we hope to host you again on your next Loreto getaway!
I don’t think we could have a better rental in all of Loreto that would fit our needs as well as Open Sky Ranch did! Our family was 5 adults and 2 children. Having our own space when needed but able to gather all together was perfect. The children loved the pool and the adults took turns finding their own favorite place in the sun or in the shade. The layout and design is lovely. Nicely furnished and great artwork. Pueblo and Casita are well equipped. The location can’t be beat…so close to everything and surprisingly quiet. Open Sky Ranch exceeded our expectations and it’s as beautiful as the photos. We would highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for this incredible review! It truly means the world to us that Open Sky Ranch Villas was such a perfect fit for your family.
We love hearing that the layout worked so well for your group — having space to spread out while still being able to gather together is exactly what we hoped to create. It makes us so happy that the kids enjoyed the pool and that everyone found their own favorite sunny (or shady!) spot to relax.
We’re also glad you appreciated the design, artwork, and how well-equipped Pueblo and Casita are. And yes — being steps from the heart of Loreto while still feeling peaceful and quiet is one of the things we treasure most about the property.
Thank you again for the recommendation. We would absolutely love to host your family again anytime!
This is an amazing property in the heart of Loreto. You can't get any closer to town and the Malecon at the same time and have the space of this home. All bedrooms are about the same (Casita bedroom a little bigger). They had really nice towels, 2 pool lounge chairs, some other chairs to sit in, bar stools outside, a grill (we made really good tacos), and the kitchens had most everything we needed. Pool was nice and we enjoyed just relaxing poolside. Beds were comfy. good showers. The casita living room furniture was comfortable (we almost never sat inside). The property manager responded so quickly to anything we needed and the hosts were great. Couple things would be helpful: a pool net so we could do a quick sweep. Pool floats. Some plastic containers to put food in (tupperware style). We will definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the location, the pool, and all the outdoor spaces—it sounds like you made the most of your time (those tacos sound like a win 🌮).
We also really appreciate your helpful suggestions. A pool net, some floats, and additional food storage containers are great ideas, and we’ll be adding those to make the experience even better for future stays.
It means a lot to hear you’d come back—we’d absolutely love to host you again anytime!
We really enjoyed our stay at Open Sky Ranch. It is as described and had everything we could possibly need. We had many bbqs and dinners at home, as everything was well equipped. Our granddaughter learned to swim in the pool and everyone enjoyed it after a hot day!The “compound” is literally steps from everything and we enjoyed some great meals around town - all walkable! Mi Loreto and Orlando’s were great meals and Zapata was a fun drink spot with live music on the weekends.Alfonso was such a great help to us - he was so responsive if we needed anything. He helped us set up an amazing fishing and sightseeing / beach day. He also set us up with bikes, kayaks, paddle boards which we took to the beach on the funky golf cart!Simone and Charlie, the owners, were very responsive and helpful from start to finish.We loved our first trip to Loreto and it won’t be our last!Thank you for sharing your home!
The house is very comfortable. Comfortable beds, strong AC, well stocked kitchen supplies, nice towels, and good pool chairs. The house manager / maintenance responded quickly to any issues and was very helpful.

We had an absolute blast in this beautiful home a block from the central square. Our kids loved the yard and pool, my parents appreciated having their own space for siestas, and we loved how clean everything was.

We had a great experience hosting Jeff for the second time around! The communication was pleasant and smooth at all times. Also, our house was left in perfect condition.
Very nice accomodations for our family group, adjacent to the square, malecon is closeby, as are restaurants and in town amenities, shopping, great coffee shop on the corner etc. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful property. Enjoyed the Sauna, hot tub, and pizza oven. Didn’t use the pool much as it was winter and spent more time in the ocean. Location is ideal to walk to beach and town plaza. We went snorkeling to islands w/ Flavio of Loreto star adventures and had an amazing adventure. A little confusion on beds in rooms but I think this has been corrected. Advise clarifying before booking. We had 7 in our group and needed another bed so fortunately the penthouse was available for us to book and the owner worked with us. Loved Loreto and the community there. It’s a special place. We always felt safe and it was amazingly clean compared to other central American areas we’ve been. Magical!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and made great use of the sauna, hot tub, and pizza oven. Winter is a perfect time to explore the ocean, and it’s wonderful to hear your snorkeling trip to the islands was such a memorable adventure.
We appreciate your note about the sleeping arrangements and are glad we were able to find a solution that worked well for your group. Your feedback helps us continue improving and keeping everything clear for future guests.
Loreto truly is a special place, and we’re happy you felt the magic, safety, and warmth of the community. We’d be thrilled to host you again on a future visit!
What a great place to stay! We had the two lower villas, which gave each couple their own separate spaces. The sauna, pool and proximity to town center and the plaza offered us the convenience of be able to walk everywhere! Alfonso the property caretaker was beyond wonderful!!!

The house is very beautiful and clean in a great location just steps away from the town square. The pizza oven was so nice to have in the outside kitchen pool area. We found a card for a massage therapist to come to the house and turned the casita into a day spa for our group of 6, she was amazing. Communication was outstanding with our questions prior and during our stay.we will be coming back again!

Thanks for staying with us ! We also love the fishing and the islands so near by ! Hope you caught a lot of fish ! Maybe next time you can check out the hiking , cave painting, and a trip to mission San Javier ! We are in the process of developing an eco camp in Juncalito that we are super excited about ! Looking forward to your visit!
Perfect location. Walking distance from anything you need, host replies quickly, and privacy. If you’re looking to fish in Loreto, I highly recommend booking this location. Looking forward to booking again next year.
This place is only steps away from the plaza, with lots to do within walking distance. The place itself is a beautiful hacienda style property, with a pool and a bar in the interior court yard separating the main house and the casita. Both are tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We thought it was a steal for the price and would definitely stay here again.

Great location
Loved the location. The property is in good condition and well maintained. Having two units (the 2 bed unit for me and my wife, and the 1 bed unit for our son) was a perfect arrangement for our family. The patio and pool area was ideal for lounging and meals. We used the elec cart to go to the marina - a great amenity with the property. Alfonso was very helpful and attentive to our needs. Would recommend for families wanting to be close to downtown.

Guest’s were excellent and respected the space. Easy to communicate with. Left the place looking great. Recommend to any host.
This was our first time to Loreto and we shared this property with 2 other couples. This property was outstanding in so many ways. The owners were extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests. The local staff, grounds, cleaning, maintenance, were all superb. The property itself is amazing and well suited to both walking, driving and boating adventures. Loreto itself is an undiscovered gem. We will be returning and telling our friends about this experience!
