About this property

Ocean View - Unique Mexican Contemporary Vacation home with Amenities!

Our modest vacation home is located in the beautiful exclusive beachfront community of Las Gaviotas, the Heart of the Baja Riviera...approximately 45 mins from the U.S. Border, south of San Diego. We have a 3 bedroom ~ 3 bath vacation family home. Maximum 6 person including children with NO EXCEPTIONS.
And, unfortunately, no pets allowed.

OCEAN VIEW:
Sunny weather breaking out into the Spring to Summer season. For 2021, Baja is giving us a mix of rain, cloudy with intermittent sunny, warm & pleasant weather. Some nights are a bit nippy, but we have a fireplace and every bedroom including bathrooms have a wall space heater.

Casa Franz is located in the middle of the complex, on the 3rd Tier below the Tennis courts, as road noise traffic from the free & toll road are virtually non-existent as compared to the 3 story condo units on the back tier of which previous guests have commented & experienced as a real source of annoyance. Casa Franz enjoys it's peace and quiet from the ocean's rhythmic waves with a green belt ocean view right in front giving our guests an extra added pleasure.

CASA FRANZ SET FOR 2021WINTER.
Don't miss out on the Winter season (Oct-Mar) as our rates are lower and the unique opportunity to enjoy the refreshing brisk cool weather as the winter solstice begins. Sunsets are especially fantastic in Reds and Orange hues. We have a fireplace with the use of the flame logs to create a nice cozy fireside mood complimented with our small built in wall space heaters in every room, just in case it gets too chilly.

A WORD ABOUT COVID19 & CASA FRANZ

About the host

Hosted by Amy & Arturo Franz

Host profile image
I had two major careers, as a Sr. Healthcare Executive and now as a retired mortgage banker. I was one of the first homeowners to purchase and build our vacation home. For years, we used it as our get-away for school & vacation breaks with our children who are now grown up. It is a great family retreat and our home is located on the 3rd tier below the Tennis court and we are about 1 1/2 blocks Southeast on Pelicanos-Este from the beach area, for swimming, volleyball or just relaxing.

My wife, Amy & I have taken great pride in outfitting the interior with original art work from local artists in the area. As the viewer of our photos will note and reviews from our past guests, we have not overloaded our wall spaces with too much Art work. Each Art piece is uniquely selected in a placed on to itself so that the wall space around gives it more importance and meaning.

Why they chose this property

LAS GAVIOTAS IS A PREMIER VACATION RESORT LIKE NONE OTHER IN THE BAJA RIVIERA. WITH IT'S TIER LEVEL COMMUNITY DESIGN; ALL HOMES HAVE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS OF THE OCEAN. NOTHING COMPARES TO LAS GAVIOTAS, WITH ITS SPACIOUS GARDENS, WALKWAYS, CLIFF SIDE WALKING PROMENADES WITH SPLASHING SURF WAVES MAKING THIS A PHOTOGRAPHIC ADVENTURE FOR ALL OCCASIONS.

OUR UNIQUE MEXICAN ART HOUSE IS A GALLERY! UNIQUELY LIKE NONE OTHER!
Our house was designed by my brother, an Architect and we put a lot of emphasis in bringing out the Mexican character of a traditionally constructed home. We think of it as a Modern Mexican & Contemporary vacation split-level home with High Vaulted Ceilings throughout and with an open concept Kitchen-Dining-Living room to maximize space for beach viewing from the front of the home. The Downstairs bedroom is more private & quieter with a reading area and with it's own private on-suite bathroom. Check out the blending of our vibrant tile colors which accents our themes of cobalt blue, terracotta and bright yellow, famously called "Amarillo Franz."

A MODEST BUT EXCLUSIVE VACATION RETREAT:
Enjoy the artwork, a select sampling of local artists and artisans placed throughout our vacation home, giving it a art gallery feeling complimenting our modern contemporary home design accented with our unique but rare multi-color hanging lamps & sconces known as "Paletas or Ice Cream Bars."

THE PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF LAS GAVIOTAS:
Las Gaviotas, a unique and upscale vacation community is the heart of the Baja Riviera has 24/7 security services making your stay safe and enjoyable. Many owners and guests walk & jog at all hours around the complex enjoying the cliff side promenades, known in Spanish as "Malecon." Security Officers are friendly & bilingual and regularly patrol all areas of the complex to ensure your safety.

What makes this property unique

THE BENEFITS OF A UNIQUE & SMARTLY DESIGNED HOME:
Our place is small but comfortable and is used mostly for casual light eating. For dinner, we go out to our favorite restaurants. However, for those with cooking interests, we do have a micro-wave/convention oven and a 4 burner range with a dishwasher & midsize refrigerator. There is no regular oven as our intent has always been to discourage large cooking events, ie., roasting turkeys and/or baking hams. However, on the deck, for those "grilling cooks", we have a stainless steel gas BBQ station which really compliments and separates the kitchen functions from the heavier barbecuing activities; while cooking on the deck sip a beer or a Margarita!
