We checked in on the evening & went right to a family get together. The next day I realized the toilet had not been properly cleaned. The kitchen floor was dirty & there was dust & spiders everywhere. Maybe there was a mis communication about our stay dates. The washer & dryer also needed cleaning. It is a very cute & private place. Centrally located. Easy check in & out. No a/c. AWe stayed in Sept during a heat wave. The ceiling fans helped.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2026
Thank you for staying with us. We were honestly a little confused, as we were told several times throughout your stay that the place was fabulous, and nothing was brought to our attention until the very end. We truly wish we had been given the opportunity to address any concerns while you were here. In the future, we encourage you to communicate with your host earlier during your stay so they have a chance to meet your expectations or make things right. We take great pride in our property and the experience we provide, as reflected in our 5-star reviews across three platforms. Thank you again, and we wish you all the best!

This home was an excellent place to stay during my work trip. The property was very clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Although there is a school nearby and the owners live on the property, it still felt quiet, private, and very peaceful throughout my stay.The owners were friendly and helpful whenever needed. One of the biggest conveniences was being able to park right next to the entrance, which made unloading and loading my heavy camera equipment incredibly easy.It was a refreshing change from the usual cramped hotel room to have a larger, more comfortable space to relax after long workdays. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend staying here.

Jodi was the perfect host - good communication, very helpful, friendly and accommodating! The Casita was beautifully decorated and spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The location was quiet and private. The spacious patio and covered outdoor dining area was a big bonus! We loved every aspect of our stay, and we will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Jodi Engels

Host profile image
My family and I love visiting Baja frequently. We have a home in a little town called La Ribera. We also enjoy fishing if its on our boat out in the ocean or on a river fly fishing! We enjoy traveling, cooking (mexican our favorite) and being with family and friends. Often times we can be caught riding our E bikes through town and visiting one of our favorite hang out spots!

Why they chose this property

Able to ride our E bikes into town. We also love our view, with sunsets and the wildlife sanctuary it overlooks.

What makes this property unique

The ambiance, design, outdoor living and specific Spanish Santa Barbara architecture. In addition my dad built me this house for his love of Mexico and Spanish Architecture!
