We just spent a week here leading up to Xmas. The house is comfortable with a million dollar view of the Sea of Cortez.. Everything you may possibly need is nearby: Supermarkets, restaurants, bars, etc. And most of it in walking distance. We loved the little breakfast place Evies, with its friendly owner and staff and its excellent coffee that they roast themselves. Blackies restaurant is a short walk away and has indeed great seafood. We enjoyed the closeness to the water, just stepping across the large patio, and you are at the sea. We were also able to moor our little runabout boat right in front of the house, saving us a daily trip to the marina for launching and retrieving the boat. Internet is fast! Download speed of 1100Mb/s are the norm rather than the exception. The kids loved it! We found the property manager to be most helpful and responsive, the few minor issues we had during our stay were immediately taken care of.

Ahh. The best place you can ever wake up. Mind numbing.

The view from the living room in this place is exceptional. Seriously. You are spoiled to the maximum. The back porch is on the ocean. There were a couple adverse issues that aren't really a big deal but should be mentioned. One the main bathroom in the house had a bad smell coming from it. We told the property manager and they basically came in and said yeah I thinks its mildew. Whatever it was it was kinda bad. We just left that bathroom door shut the entire week and used the other in the master bedroom or the one in the casita. Not a big deal. This place is perfect for 3 couples as there is the casita, master, and two bedrooms which I would consider one. You have to go through one bedroom to get to the other. Not reasonable for a fourth couple. If you are using these two bedrooms for your kids it would be perfect. Luckily we only had 5 people which included 2 pairs. Overall a wonderful place to stay. Waking up and having coffee on the porch on the ocean is really too much. A truly mind clearing experience. I recommend it greatly. We plan on returning sometime in the near future hopefully. Try kayaking out to the islands with a guide. It's wonderful as blue footed boobies nest out on the islands. Also walk up to JJ's for tacos. His slogan is "why not" when you ask for another beer or taco and is quite entertaining. The chile relleno ones are great.

Owner response:Thank you very much for your review, we really appreciate it as we put considerable thought and effort into making our home an enjoyable experience not only for ourselves but also our guests. If memory serves we had a mouse "expire" under the cabinet in the middle bath causing the odor, we were just down for Thanksgiving and the only odors in the house were that of the sea breeze. I also will address responsiveness with my manager, thank you for pointing this out. Yes the front two bedrooms share an entrance and yes they work well for families, I try to be very clear on this point with all groups of any size. We are glad you got to walk to the many spots that are close to the house, this is a great feature of this location, maybe my favorite. Ok, the patio on the water is my favorite! Thanks again, saludos!

We had a wonderful stay-not only in San Carlos but in this beautiful home! This is our first time in San Carlos and we will definitely be back. Nice people, great food, and beautiful water and beaches. Check out the Soggy Peso -best margaritas and you can walk along Algodones beach. "Hawaii" was our favorite taco stand for carne asada. What a wonderful week with family, thanks and enjoy!

We had a great time in a great beach house! We celebrated a birthday; our grandson caught a 250lb. black marlin and the rest of us caught dorado (20-40 lbs.) Our boat is here so we don't spend too much time in our rooms but the time spent was well worth it, we will rent this house again.

Great stay! We went snorkeling, mountain climbing, and tide pooling right off the back patio.

A much enjoyed vacation, our advice is to enjoy life and take advantage of this beautiful place. Make sure you rent some kind of watercraft, eat at Blackie's, buy a cigar from JJ, and don't waste a moment!

I've been coming down for 26 years, this year we brought our neighbors and relatives, none had been here before - it was a HIT! Your home was the best we have ever been at, this was the best trip ever. We're already planning our next trip and we hope to stay here again. Awesome, we just can't say enough about how well our trip was, see you soon!
