Location: Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, Mexico (Punta Pescadero; nine miles North of Los Barriles)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Luxury estate on the sandy beach of Punta Pescadero (point of the fisherman) where the sun shines 350 days per year. Enjoy world-class fishing on the Sea of Cortez where the only waves are generated by the wind. No wind and this is like a lake! No swells, no sea sickness, and no long trips in the boat. One to three hours of fishing with pick up on the beach in front of the house at 8 AM is usually enough to catch your dinner! Want fresh fish or lobster caught that morning without you going fishing, just ask and it will be delivered, and even cooked for you if you wish. Add a two-person guitar background to your dinner by the pool and you will truly feel you are in heaven, the hustle of life has been left behind.
Walk the beach for "miles" without seeing anyone! No one selling anything, just walk and enjoy undisturbed nature at its best.
The house is finished with travertine floors, marble and granite countertops, marble bathrooms, and slate around the pool with palapa bar. The palapa sitting area on the beach is the place to be with a nice book to read. This is the life!
Griselda will be your maid for your entire stay, washing your dishes and clothes while keeping the property immaculate. Jose Maria is the manager of the property who will also be there every day to look after your needs. Jose Maria speaks fluent English, so no need to worry about language. Just relax and let him worry about your activities.
There are two master bedrooms with queen-sized beds. One has its own private bath and the second shares the full bath with the bunk room where four can sleep. Additional sleeping is possible on the couches or pool lounge chairs.
OPTIONAL rental of the lower floor of the main house with the extra 2 bedrooms and kitchen results in beds for 12 people. Inquire about extra costs and your needs.
Bring with you: passport, notorized authorization for any minor children not accompanied by both parents, sunscreen, hats, swimsuits, sunglasses, sandals, light windbreaker (November to March only), get international access for your cell phone before leaving, buy your own liquor and food on your trip from the airport. Order fresh tortillas from the village of Cardonal to be delivered daily (Jose Maria arranges). Do not try to import beef or chicken into mexico. If you wish, you can ask to go to Costco on your way to the property and stock up for a long stay.
Enjoy the property and the beauty of Mexico. You will return "walking slow, thinking slow, and talking slow" guaranteed!

Sept 7-14, 2007: Don, We had a great time. It went so fast though! Jose Maria and Griselda were wonderful, as you said. Jose is a gem.The food in at the little town,Cardonal? On the road, was the best we have ever had. Snorkeling to the left of the house was the best, so many fish! The fishing was good too, they brought home sea bass, we grilled and it was great. Had lobster too, wow. We found 2 giant conchs!! They were as big as my head!! I think that was my highlight, so so cool! Once again,Thank you for letting us stay.

July 6-12,2007: We had a great time. Your place is fantastic. My son Chris rolled the kayak in the surf and a piece to the pole holder broke. We duct taped it together. Give me your address and I will send you a new holder. Fishing was excellent. Day one we caught 17 roosters! The biggest one close to twenty pounds. The next day we wanted some meat and we landed twenty one tuna, four dorado( one was forty pounds) and three pargos. The last day of fishing was a mixed bag. We will be back next summer. We fished with sardines. Vincente said they couldn't find mullet but we did great with the sardines. I listened to your advice as far as the leader size. We didn't start to catch fish until I changed to 15 # test.

June 26-July 3, 2007: We all had an awesome trip. Fishing wasn't awesome for flyfishing but still good enough to keep us happy. Using bait with Vicente 2 of us hooked several Pargo that got into the caves before we could get them out. Gringos at using that type of equipment so some of it was are fault for sure. Two of us went with him the next day for durado and marlin, caught 3 durado, one about 35lbs and 2 smaller ones. Had a marlin follow but thats another story. The other guys fishing with Antonio caught a marlin in less than 5 min. and released it. It was about 100lbs. Antonio only had gotten the first rod out. We caught a multitude of different species on the fly rods mostly those wonderful cornet(not), but they keep your interest up. So we experienced more than we could have asked for and know a lot more about what we should do the next time. This was a great trial run. The accomodations were fabulous, and I can't say enough about Jose Maria. You found an awesome person there. His wife did agreat job cleaning up each day, and that was really great. Don't be I know we are certainly talking about a yearly thing, if you are still going to rent it out. I was afraid the weather was going to be to hot but it was great. Really not that humid. Jose took us to the rooster fights in cardinal. Not that we enjoy that sort of thing but it was an awesome experience. Felt like true mexico. So I want to keep in touch and maybe book again for next year. I would also like to bring my wife ssometime for sure, with maybe a couple of other couples. Thanks DOn for all the advice, and it was everything you said it would be and more! Your main house is incredible. Jose took us for a quick tour, hope that was okay.

April 21-28, 2007: We had a great time, Don — the kids, especially. The street dinner in El Cardonal was a wonderful recommendation, by the way. One note for you: the information document you sent was fabulous, but it has a small typo — it lists the Los Barriles turn-off at KM 118 rather than KM 110. I think it’s pretty obvious when you get there that you are there, but I’d hate for anyone to drive further than needed when they’re anxious to get to the beach! Thanks for everything,

We had a wonderful time. Your guest house is beautiful. June 16-23, 2007: Everything we were hoping for and then some. Jose Maria, Griselda, and all the people that we meet in Punta Pescadero are true treasures. Rest assured that your staff is doing a wonderful service. We went fishing 3 times. Caught a couple of dorado, red snapper, rooster and quite a lot of needlefish(darn banditos) Thanks again for everything. Sincerely..Ed and Lorena
