Location: Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, Mexico (1 hour drive north of Cabo San Lucas on the Sea of Cortez)
Accommodations: Beach House/Guest House, 3 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 4 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This beach front property consists of two houses with a total of 3 bedrooms and 31/2 baths. Rent one or both depending on your needs.
The beach house is a charming one-story, split level house with two bedrooms, two baths. It is modern adobe style beach front home. It has a lot of room for lounging with an extra large, built in couch two dining tables and large kitchen with bar seating inside and out.
The garden house is two story 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home. It has a nice ocean view from the bedroom balcony. The atmosphere is pleasant with plenty of ocean wave and bird sounds. This house also has an extra large built-in couch of its own. The garden house house includes the same basic amenities as the main house. It also comes with a full laundry room.
Our place is located just 2 miles north of Los Barriles. It is a 45 minute drive north from the Cabo Airport in the East Cape Region of the Baja Peninsula.
We built in 2000 and then we added the garden house in 2006. Both are adobe style homes with unique artistic tile accents, mosaics, built in furniture and unique concrete countertops throughout.
Designed for informal relaxation, both homes have an open floor plan with exotic palapa roofs over most of the enclosed living area. The ocean-front view is fantastic, stretching from Punta Pescadero to the North and Punta Arena to the South. All bedrooms are positioned to provide a view of the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez from bed.
Sun and shade are plentiful on our patios. The beach house has A beautiful 600-square-foot shade structure spanning the entire width of the ocean side of the beach house. Mature palms and ficus trees surround the property attracting song birds and humming birds. A shady rocking chair or hammock is never more than a few steps away. Nature is ever active around Casa Ora, pelicans cruising, fish jumping, and the ever changing blue-green water of the Sea of Cortez. There are many whale sightings right out front, along with many dolphins and some sea lions, too.

Activities and Attractions
This our ultimate hideaway. Hang in one of the palm shaded ocean-view hammocks or relax in the oversized rocking chairs. There's great beach combing, snorkeling and sandcastle building right out the door on the beach. You won't have to look far for fun.Ora
