The host and property manager were both excellent. Any issues were resolved very quickly. There were small markets near buy but had to travel to town of Loreto for a bigger shop. Location was very good between the lap pool and ocean.
Our family really enjoyed our stay and Fauna was available to help us with questions. The beach and lap pool, both stunners, were our favorite parts. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Comfy and cozy, we loved the space and balconies. Everything you need is at this property!

Hola Lynelle,
Thank you for the wonderful review and for appreciating our fabulous location and cozy casa atmosphere. With so much to enjoy here, Loreto Bay is truly magical — it makes my job easy to host happy guests. Come back soon!
This is the second or third time we have stayed at this well-appointed home. It is located in the beautiful Founders community, near the pool and easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, golf, etc. The Owner is a delightful and responsive host. Do yourself a favor and spend a week in this home on the beautiful Sea of Cortez!!
Property is lovely as is the host. She was timely answering all of my questions, appreciate her. So much to do in the community and in surrounding towns. Such a great trip.
We were blown away by finding such a well planned, beautifully designed community. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to visit again. We happened to visit off season so most restaurants within the Village were not open, but the offset to that was that it was incredibly quiet. We plan to go back in season to experience that as well.

Hola John! Grateful for your stay. The downstairs is also set up to be a master, if you chose. Private extra large bedroom with it's own full bath attached. Just like upstairs. No need to climb the stairs if you don't want to. Thanks again!
This was our third visit to Fauna's place in Nopolo- we love it every time. The house is well maintained and perfect location- just a short walk to the pool and beach. They are super helpful with anything you need. Thank you!! xoxo
From the beginning of our reservation to the end of our stay, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences ever! The property was spotless upon our arrival and decorated with the local beauty of Baja, including very unique and artistic tile. The upper decks were perfect for sunbathing and relaxing and access to the beach was very easy. So glad we stayed here with such great hosts who were so helpful to help connect us with some locals who had all of the knowledge of the area.

The house was great very spacious,clean and fresh. The bedrooms were very comfortable and roomy. The AC worked great. Amazing view from deck. Location was perfect near pool. Overall great experience! Family friendly. Will return!!!!!!!!
We had a wonderful vacation. The property is beautiful and immaculate. The community is really cute, the only bummer was that we were there during the off season and many places in Napolo Bay were closed. It wasn’t a problem though because Loreto was a quick car ride, and had many great restaurants and things to do. Everyone we met was extremely friendly. Thank you for a great vacation.

Great property
This was our first time in Loreto. We had a fantastic time. The trip was well worth it and if you get to know the town you will find the best places to eat and do things. Just one advice if it is your first time make sure you bring PESOS. It is very difficult to exchange and most of the time they pay less than the exchange value. Great experience
Overall the property was as advertised. However we were unable to use WiFi as the password wasn’t left where indicated. We were unable to contact host as my phone wouldn’t operate in Mexico. If I had been able to contact host I suspect that WiFi would have been fine.

Hola John, the WiFi passcode was sent to you the day you booked on VRBO.
It was also shared with you in the welcome package sent upon booking marked ☀️❗️ Important please read! 😀
Sorry you couldn’t connect.
Grateful you enjoyed your stay. ☀️
We loved our stay in Loreto. The home is well appointed, clean and comfortable. It is located in this community (built by an American developer who dodged the draft to Canada--got the scoop at a gallery opening) that has everything one needs for a lovely get-away. There are several restaurants, nail salon, spas, and a bakery all within the complex. The patio/outlook on the top level has amazing views--perfect spot for sunset margaritas. The condo is close to the airport and town. Loreto is a gem of a town--great food, safe, friendly people, inexpensive. Fauna, the owner, is incredibly responsive and attentive. Can't go wrong staying here!

Yes!!! Thank you for the awesome review and compliments. Loreto is a special place. So happy you enjoyed your stay- Loved working with you. Thank you for taking care of the villa. Here’s to more fun vacations. Vrbo makes it easy. Whee! ⭐️🌞✨🐚🐬🐳
This home was very comfortable and clean with lovely mountain views from the top deck. It was exactly as advertised. We loved the lap pool and the dark, starry skies at night. The neighborhood was very well maintained, had beautiful landscaping, and felt safe. We were disappointed that it is no longer possible to rent kayaks or SUPs at Nopolo Beach unless you are a guest of the adjacent hotel and that the condominium complex has no gym. It was nice that there were a handful of eating options in the neighborhood, but it is absolutely essential to have a car for groceries, ATMs, buying purified water, and most activities. There seemed to be no ride-share options.

Yay! We always like to hear guests enjoy their time and really appreciate your 5 ⭐️ review!!
I wanted to let you know, Taxis and airport shuttles are available in Loreto.
The taxis sit at the end of the street- a few minutes walk from the villa.
About 1/2 of my guests do not rent cars. 🚗
While it is more convenient to have a car handy, if you want to save $$ and liability it’s not necessary.
Our neighborhood, the villages of Loreto Bay offers multiple restaurants and sundry stores all walkable from the villa.
Most everything you need to cook a meal is available at the sundry stores.
Throughout the town there are places to rent kayaks & SUPs there’s an adventure shop near the villa. I have a blow up kayak in the closet. .
Just ask me, I can help with all your questions.
That’s what I’m here for..
thanks again for your stay and for enjoying your time in Loreto.

Trip of a lifetime!
We had such a wonderful stay! The property was easy to find, easy to park, steps from the best pool, and a super short walk to the beach. Fauna was a pleasure to work with. I needed to contact her twice with questions while we were there, and both times she got back to me within 10 minutes with the answers. The people of the town couldn't have been nicer to us.
The upstairs master is accessible via outdoor steps, which is good to know for families with kids. They are not connected. It was great for us because my parents were able to have their "own place" while the kids and my husband and I took over the downstairs. The grill worked great! We BBQ'd nightly on the deck while watching the amazing sunsets.
Recommendation: Eat at Pedro's Place down the street! The food was great, but the people made it unforgettable! MaryPaz (who runs it) is an angel! We went back twice just to visit her. Gabrielle, our server, took such extra care to make sure my son (who is allergic to dairy) got his dinner made specially for him. When we went back a few days later, he remembered us and let us know he would make the special fish again for him. Not to mention they made the world's best margarita!!
I highly recommend this home! It was clean, had great air conditioning, and was a perfect location! Thank you Fauna!!

Welcome! Guests like you are a pleasure. Thanks for taking good care of all. Makes my heart happy to know you enjoyed Loreto and the villa. Come back soon!
We arrived at Nopolo on a Thursday afternoon. Although we had some trouble finding the place, once we were here it felt so peaceful. Walking distance to lap pool and beach. The place was spacious, nicely decorated, quiet. It was great having a cup of morning coffee on the top deck with views of the very deep blue sea. Everything you need is right within walking distance.
This property is located steps from beautiful Nopolo Bay where we relaxed under a palapa on the beach. The pool facilities are wonderful and we dined at a number of local restaurants in the community. We went stand up paddle boarding in the bay and estuary, that includes a mangrove. The proximity to the marina is about 10 minutes and we had a great time scuba diving and fishing with a couple local companies. The owner was very communicative and easy to work with. One of the best and most relaxing vacations. We will definite be back.
Wonderful property in a beautiful community setting! Plenty of places to walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery and tropical birds. There’s a great coffee shop a short walk away.

About the host

We are the Tomlinsons from Lake Tahoe California. We are all skiers and enjoy getting warmed by the sun in Loreto. The kids like sharpening their Spainish skills and try only talking Spainish to the locals. We are all dive certified and go on many diving excursions. Natural beauty is what we fell in love with and the authentic local charm. 'It still feels like a secret!' Come on down and explore all the natural treasures Loreto and its heritage have to offer. Where the mountains come to swim.
Why they chose this property
Living in Lake Tahoe we knew we wanted a warm beach home. The minute we got off the plane it just felt like home. The locals are heartwarming, the cuisine and margaritas authentic . The villages of Loreto Bay felt very safe and charming. The Sea of Corttez which is just a few steps away is 2 miles long and very secluded. We enjoy the Inn at Loreto bay amenities . We loved the many authentic mexican design details that went into our Villa. Large 1500 square feet with wooden french doors, brick kitchen cupolas, high ceilings, bulit in barbeque with a wooden pergola for shade, gardens and water fountains. Feels very comfortable and safe.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the sandy beaches of the Sea of Cortez right out your door. Walk to The 4 star Inn at Loreto bay and use all amenities.. restuarants, right on the beach kayak shop, palapas for shade, 2 pools and hot tubs to choose from one with a swim up bar. Free Wifi and cable TV .
