Secluded Sanctuary

My girlfriend and I stayed in March 2024. We loved this house! It's in a quiet neighborhood, and feels very peaceful. The house is decorated beautifully, and has many great touches - from the paint colors and the domed ceiling, to the inlaid tiles in the concrete, the colorful flower pots, and tasteful artwork. In addition, the house had so many things to make our stay comfortable - lots of bath supplies (shampoo etc), lots and lots of towels, plenty of kitchen supplies (plates, bowls, cooking utensils, etc.). The backyard with the heated swimming pool was definitely a highlight. It's a small pool, but it's in such a nice setting and with a great view of the hills and the bay. The house is down a fairly long dirt road, so it takes a few minutes to get even to the first paved road. It didn't rain, but I imagine when it does the road could be a challenge. Communication with the owner and manager was pretty good, not a prompt as what I'm used to with other house rentals. But they did always respond, and were very helpful. The house instructions we were provided a few days before check-in turned out to be outdated in a couple of ways. They say the manager will meet us at the property at check-in for a tour and walk-through. In fact, he just texted us the lockbox code, which was fine with us. Also that the filtered house tap water is fine and safe to drink - in fact they don't recommend drinking it, and they did provide us with plenty of bottled water. Overall great

Great little Casa. Got done what we came to do. The house was perfect for my colleague and I. We each had our separate rooms with ensuites on opposite ends of the house. The rental car outfit worked us pretty dirty at the airport and then an Independant guy hit us again in La Paz.

View, pool, cactus oh my!

I cannot find enough wonderful things to say about this property and owner. The house is wonderfully appointed, everything you could possibly need, beautifully decorated, and unbelievably comfortable beds. The view of the bay of La Paz, and at night the twinkling Lights of la Paz ate stunning. Location is perfect for many different destinations. The owner was more than willing to share any and all information she had about places, locations, grocery stores, and just basically anything you could ask she was able to answer. I would not hesitate to recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Don Smith

Welcome! Ingrid & Don we are originally from Alberta Canada and we have been living in the San Diego CA area for the past 23 years. We love spending time with family and friends and we enjoy offering hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Love the Baja from top to bottom. We are very fortunate in that we live in San Diego and can walk across the CBX bridge to the Tijuana airport to be in our La Paz home within three hours door to door. La Paz is the 'undiscovered jewel' of Baja California Sur!
