We had the delightful pleasure of spending several days at Casa Baja in March 2010. It was our second trip to San Felipe, and we basically just packed the car and started driving. We were going to wing it, and hope to roll into town and find a place to stay, but I pulled up Casa Baja on VRBO, and gave a call to see if it was available. Randy made it happen!! Last minute and all. Luckily, he was down in SF with his family, so it made it easy to take care of payment, etc. He even showed us around one of the other homes (which was great, because we will be coming down with friends the next time and will need a bit more room!) Upon our arrival, we stopped in town to grab tacos from the stand, even though we had already eaten dinner, and it was 11pm! We had both been to PV, Cabo, etc. many times before, and this was such a refreshing change of pace... so different from the clubbing night scene! Casa baja was so romantic, quaint and free from the hustle and bustle of the Mexico we're so used to. The home itself is warm, spacious and so tastefully decorated. It was just the two of us, but would have been great if we had been able to get our friends to come. Perfect for four! We loved the privacy. The thing that I remember most is just chilling on the rooftop, grilling up shrimp, soaking up the sun, reading books and sipping margaritas! The bedrooms were serene and peaceful and I slept better than I had in weeks. Each afternoon around sunset, we would take a walk down the beach, and admire the lovely homes and sprinkling of shells on the beach. There, in solitude, with our cold Pacificos, we would sit and watch the brilliant sun against the pinkish-purple sky slowly drop into the sea. This fully-loaded, beautifully-decorated, gorgeously-surrounded, quiet home was exactly what we needed! It was an escape from the hustle and bustle the SF Bay area and a nurturing way to reconnect with ourselves and each other. We both left the place feeling completely rested and pampered - we both agreed it was the best mini vacation we have ever been on. Thank you, Randy, for sharing your lovely home with us. We plan on coming back very soon!

Our arrival went perfect, made contact with Arturo and quickly began our long week of much needed rest. The beach was just a short distance away, couldn't ask for anything better. The house was beyond perfect, ejoyed all of the amentities. Sunsets are extemeley beautiful in this region and the clear nights are stellar for those who follow astronomy. The upper deck serves well!

Our experience in San Felipe at Casa Baja completely surpassed our expectations. The house was great, everything was spacious and relaxing. We grilled out on the roof every night with the sunset in the background. The firepit kept us warm and the beach is a two minute walk from the house. Couldn't have asked for more except a few more days of vacation! Thanks again,...had a blast

We give CASA BAJA five stars!! We've traveled to many places and have stayed in very diverse accommodations in all our travels but we have never felt at home like we did at Casa Baja. We have also visited San Felipe many times but your home, Randy and Shelli, made our stay so much more enjoyable. We are deeply appreciative because you are the perfect hosts. All the amenities and details to make Casa Baja comfortable, functional and attractive show how much you care for your guests. San Felipe is simple, peaceful and friendly. We love the people, the food, the Sea of Cortez, and your roof top "observatory" at night made us feel so in awe of God's creation. May He bless you for allowing our bodies and souls to be refreshed and restored!! Muchas gracias.

We wanted a restful place to relax and unwind and Casa Baja provided more than we could have imagined. Our goal of heading to San Felipe was to be in a comfortable house in a beautiful area away from tourist activities and the urban hustle. When we weren't out biking, or hiking in the dunes, or on the beach, we were enjoying Casa Baja to the fullest. We enjoyed every part of the house. It was a luxuriously spacious abode for 2 people. The fresh fish and shrimp from the nearby marina were beyond compare. We cooked almost every meal, and the water filters in the kitchen and on the roof were a huge advantage. Being able to drink from the tap made things a lot easier, not to mention all the plastic water bottles we didn't have to consume. We also made good use of the living room fireplace, and both the dvd and cd players for evening entertainment. The roof deck was our favorite afternoon hangout spot, for reading or just gazing at the mountains and sea. The dunes were beautiful to walk through as well as just look at from up high. It's an amazing area, and again we thank your for providing such a nice spot to call home for the week. And a special thanks to Arturo and his family for helping us feel so welcome. Sincerely, Alex and Sarah San Fransisco New Years, 2009

My wife, 2 kids, pet, and myself stayed in Casa Baja for 5 days and could not have picked a better place in all of San Felipe. The location is in a very nice setting and the view from the rooftop is unexplainable when you actually are standing there. The pool which is within 50 steps of the front door is large and very clean. The host was very attentative while we were there and if we needed anything we had it immediately. For the price you can not find a better location with this amount of room anywhere. The house is decorated to fit the location and beds were very comfortable. We were within a short stroll down to the most unbelievable beach I have ever been on. We were the only ones on the beach all 5 days there. We will definately be going back to San Felipe and without a doubt to Casa Baja.

Early this month we visited San Filipe for the first time. We enjoyed our stay. We were having such a good time (it was so beautiful and relaxing) that we decided to stay an extra day. My husband, Jeff played golf. He said the course was nice and that he would play it again. Several of us enjoyed a pool side massage. We walked along the beach and found sand dollars and shells. The accomodations were comfortably furnished, attractively decorated, well maintained and reasonably priced. The showers had great water pressure. We ate at several restaurants in San Filipe and enjoyed the food. We both give our stay a definite thumbs up!!

wow! thank you so much. everything was AMAZING! really the house, the location, the heat was intense but still so nice and the pool and beach more than made up for it. My 3 year old is now officially a fearless swimmer thanks to the great pool and beach conditions. we met a lot of the locals, and cannot begin to tell you how wonderful they all were. so helpful, we found the best taco stands and beaches thanks to all of these great people. the roof top was my favorite spot to watch the sunrise. so much peace. and not to mention the great grill. im sure you'll find that everything was well taken care of. maybe a little more sand here and there but over all. we took great care of your beautiful home. we are looking forward to next year. thanks again randy and shelli. talk to you soon, carolina
