Why the Owner Chose Loreto
In Loreto Baja California Sur, we found a region with a rich and vibrant history. Loreto was the original capital of all the Californias over 300 years ago. It was established in 1697 by the explorer Juan Maria Salvatierra, a Jesuit priest. You can see evidence of this history in the Missions, municipal buildings and the hearts and souls of the Loretanos.
Loreto is a natural playground for anyone who loves the outdoor life. Its azure, clear waters and tranquil coves provide scuba divers and snorkelers unparalleled underwater beauty and an abundance of sea life. Near the islands, the waters provide sportsmen with perhaps the greatest fishing in the world, with record catches of sailfish, tuna and dorado. The islands are easily visited by boat and such a trip will no doubt include sightings of sea lions basking in the sun on rocky coasts and dolphins leaping across the bow wave of the boat.
Sea kayakers glide through the warm waters of Loreto’s bays to camp at remote beaches and sleep under the stars.
For those who are more land-bound adventurous, the Sierra de la Giganta’s provides many opportunities for mountain biking, horseback riding trails and hiking over ancient trails used for hundreds of years.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our Casa is ~50 feet from the beach and ocean, with easy access directly off the front steps of the property. The town’s oceanfront malecon is walking distance from the Casa and is an ideal place for an afternoon stroll; or in the early morning, when the offshore islands appear like floating rocks in the Sea of Cortéz. The locals say that this is “where the mountains come to swim.”

We were very pleased with La Casa De Ensueno. The Casa included all the amenities needed and more: comfortable beds, great view, a fresh bowl of fruit, well equipped kitchen, beach access, kayaks, bicycles, etc. The owner was very helpful and easy to contact, i.e., someone we would enjoy meeting and knowing. The Norte Calle Davis neighborhood was welcoming and safe. Obviously, we loved it and would recommend La Casa De Ensueno to vacationers anytime of the year!

We had a great time in this lovely upstairs apartment. The neighborhood was quiet & safe, and the apartment itself was extremely comfortable and very well-equipped. It was a bit too cold & windy for water sports while we were there, but the beachcombing and walks on the beach were wonderful, as were the many local restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay! We especially appreciated the bowl of fresh fruit upon our arrival. La casa de ensueno was perfect for the needs of our group. It is comfortably furnished so everyone had a sense of personal space, a huge accomplishment for a group of 7! The sliding glass doors between the two living spaces is brilliant for when one group is watching tv and the other is playing cards or studying for SCUBA certification. We were so appreciative to have all the luxury amenities like a dishwasher and laundry facilities! The kitchen is very complete, as well. We enjoyed grinding our own Mexican coffee beans each morning and blending our own mixed drinks in the evening. The mattresses and bedding were very comfortable as were the ceiling fans and air conditioning! Having TV and wi-fi was fantastic! We enjoyed the library of DVDs, too. We used the bikes to get to town and get groceries as well as for a fun adventure at Sunday market. We loved the kayaks as well. We paddled to Picazon, the restaurant up the coast, only to discover that it was closed! Always bring plenty of fresh water and snacks! We met Juve and Sara of Sea and Land Tours and took pangas out to Diazante, Coronado and Carmen Islands. The older boys got SCUBA certified and all of us enjoyed the warm water and beautiful fish. We saw dolphins numerous times as well as flying rays! We also took a day trip to the cave paintings, oasis and San Javier. Our time went much too fast. We hope to return in spring to meet whales, and my daughter would like to take the mule trip into the Sierra Gigante. We borrowed a copy of The "Corazon of the Vaquero", a DVD documentary and became enchanted by the ways of the original old west.

Our family, including our three young adult sons, enjoyed Christmas and New Year’s at La Casa de Ensueno in Loreto. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful before our trip, and was full of helpful ideas and suggestions. We were completely comfortable at La Casa de Ensueno, which is in a great setting in a residential neighborhood north of town. It is steps from the beach, and we used the sea kayaks almost every day. The furnishings are comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Coffee on the deck in the morning sunshine with a view of the sea and offshore islands was wonderful, and the neighbors are also friendly. It’s an easy walk into town, where there a many choices for delicious meals (especially seafood) in Loreto. Our sons’ favorite spot was the Pangalapa, where they watched soccer in the open-air restaurant while enjoying the fish tacos. Another highlight was fishing in the spectacular scenery of the gulf, and having our catch cooked to order that night at the Palapa restaurant. If you’d like to live like a local, comb the beach, experience the marine wonders of the Bay of California, enjoy the pelicans and other seabirds, or just relax and soak up the sunshine, this is a good choice.

"La Casa De Ensueno" translates to "The House of Dreams" and it is just that! This Casa in Loreto will be your dream vacation. Perfect location just steps from the beach, it is quiet, relaxing, comfortable, decorated with a Mexican flare and has all of the comforts of home. Bert and Terri have for their guests three kayaks (two single and one tandum w/with all the equipment), two beach cruzer bikes and a washer and dryer on site for the use of their guests. In the event their may be something that the house does not have, Bert and Terri have someone close that will do what they can to accomodate you. The Casa is just a few blocks from Loreto's City Center where you will find the Malecon, Harbor, Dining, Shopping, Loreto History, Fruit Stand, Fish Market, Farmers Market (every sunday), Groceries and any flavor of Mexico refreshment that you may want. Some of our favorite restaurants are "La Picazone" (amazing atmosphere and cuisine), "1697" (Italian Cuisine), "Giggling Dolphin", "La Palappa", "La Mission", "Tio Lupes", "Las Mandiles" just to name a few. Our favorite bar is the "Eclipse" above the Luna Hotel. There are great taco stands every where but a couple of our favorites are "El Rey Tacos" and "Cesars". One can travel short distances from Loreto and find points of interest such as "Porto Escondido" (south), "San Havier Mission" (west), Isla Coronado and Isla Carmen (looking east from Loreto) great for snorkeling, diving, fishing or just site seeing by boat. Many more points of interest that we have found but to many to mention. While you are staying at La Casa de Ensueno you will find many things that you will love about Loreto just as we have. Thank you Bert and Terri for one of the most amazing vacations we have had! We would recommend your vacation home to anyone!

"My husband and I were planning our first driving trip through Baja and our first time to rent a vacation home. We wanted to spend at least 7 days or more in Loreto(not sure when we were going to leave)and the owner, Bert, worked with our "unsure" schedule to accommodate our stay. He was very flexible and answered all our questions on what to see/do and eat while there. The Casa was larger that we anticipated and the kitchen was fully stocked with lovely glass ware and dishes. Upon our arrival there was a fresh fruit basket waiting for us - what a nice surprise! The people in Loreto were friendly and eager to answer our questions. We have referred our friends to "La Casa de Ensueno" as we know they won't be dissapointed."

Upon our arrival to Loreto the check-in process was quick & easy and we were ready for our vacation week. Property was beautiful, clean and the A/C cooled the place down very quickly. We were amazed by the local sites, great swimming, great food :) , friendly grocery stores, internet cafe etc. We truly enjoyed our vacation week and the quiet, cool and spacious property made it so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. ( Great kayaking -sightseeing - photo opportunities -swimming -hiking -fishing -bird watching )

We have enjoyed our two month stays at La Casa De Ensueno for the last three years. The house is comfortable, clean and has everything we need to feel just like we are in our own home. It is in a very nice neighborhood where American's and Canadian's live, some of whom live there all year long. We love the town, the people and the fishing. We plan on returning as long as we are healthy and able. The stairs to the Casa will keep you in shape after all the good food and drink of Loreto! We would recommend the Casa to friends and family who like to fish, explore the small town lore and golf. Assuming that the current rules of golfing allow nonresidents of Loreto Bay. Perfect for two couples. You can walk everywhere but we recommend access to a car.
