"I feel quite elated and lucky to have found Carol and Willie's house browsing online for a few reasons. First, there is absolutely no catch to the enticing listing of this amazing house and its location. In fact, I think some of the pictures don't capture the essence of the place enough. And it's understandable. The peace and quiet, the relaxing atmosphere, the way the ocean during this time of the year is so gentle, the soothing breezes...hard to capture even on video, let alone a series of photographs. Everything on this listing lives up to the promise. Second, I took not only my family but convinced a couple friends of ours to come along. Seeing the expression on their face the first morning we woke up in the house was quite nice, but seeing their relaxed, thankful demeanor after spending three weeks at the beach house was joyful. I loved the fact that we came across such welcoming and gentle people (like Carol and Willie) with a great house in a way that only a few years ago would have been impossible. In more ways than one we all felt we found a bit of a treasure. I can't recommend this place enough. The location is gorgeous, isolated yet close enough to all services that one would need to enjoy a great vacation; only a few minutes away there are grocery stores, a fish market, meat market, laundry service, great restaurants that serve good simple meals, a police station and even an ambulance service. The house is comfortable, very well thought out, easy to live it, practical for a couple, a few single friends or a couple of families. The area is still pristine, we saw dolphins and mantas jumping right in front of the house. There aren't many places one can go to where such a thing is easy to experience. We felt pampered, safe, relaxed and fortunate to be able to enjoy this place for a few weeks. I sincerely hope everyone reading this review gets a chance to enjoy everything we did. "

We visited La Ventana in the summer during low season. What an amazing place, beautiful water, perfect shade porches for afternoon siestas when the weather was HOT. The owners were so accomodating and helpful in their advice and routinely checked in on us, as well as the local caretaker. Can't wait to go back and visit again.

Owner response: Glad you enjoyed your stay at our bit of paradise.

great place right on the beach. Kitesurf or windsurf from your front yard, or kayak or snorkel or visit the hot springs. Wonderful hosts showed us all the contacts in town who are friendly and helpful. Best place in town.

We have used the VRBO website for a number of rentals over the years but have never stayed in a more ideal place than this. The setting is outstanding and the available activities suited our family of six perfectly during our one week stay. Carol and Willie were very gracious hosts and helped to make our experience wonderful. You will not regret renting this home.

I am actually quite hesitate to give a review to Carol’s beautiful home in La Ventana. The worry I have is as people will discover this piece of paradise, I will have a harder time to book this home. Not to write a review would be a great disservice to the Ornelia’s family and their wonderful hospitality. We visited Casa Vista Cerralvo in La Ventana the last two weeks in Nov 09 and the weather was perfect. I would talk about the snorkelling right in front of the home, the crystal clear waters, the empty secluded beaches, the hot springs that our family spent a day digging out our own bathtubs on the beach, but as you can read in the other reviews, everyone has written about those wonderful aspects of this property . What I would like expound on is the feeling we all had when we drove up the driveway at 10 pm and saw the moonlight on the sea, and the feeling that we were driving right down into the water, it was magical. Lito & his family were there to greet us with a wonderful dinner; just what was needed after a day of traveling. Lito , the caretaker and his family, are the most helpful people we met in La Ventana and there was nothing they wouldn’t do for us. We arranged to go fishing, and the boat came right to our beach and we caught 3 tuna & a Dori. Raymond, the fisherman cleaned & filleted the fish for us and we dined on that fish for the rest of the week. There is a great restaurant at the La Ventana Bay resort that we would highly recommend. My son learned to Kite board with Arnaud at Kite masters and he had such a great experience, he is already asking when we will be going back. With 4 teenagers it’s hard to find a place that satisfies everyone but this home was big enough that no one felt crowded and we all had our own favitorite place to go. If you are looking for a holiday that is relaxing, secluded and peaceful with your family, you won’t find a more beautiful place than Casa Vista Cerralvo and more accommodating hosts than the Ornelas family.

I took my parents to this house. The most wonderful place to relax. We loved the house. It has a perfect view to see the sunrise, and to enjoy the ocean. We did not want to leave. It was like a dream. there is no noise but the sound from the ocean. I will come back again. Thank you carol !!!!

I just recently stay at this amazing place! I live in La Paz, so I'am local, and know what Iam talking about so, if you're planing for a getaway in Baja, don't look anywhere else in La Ventana, THIS IS THE PLACE YOU WHANT TO BE AT, beatiful sunrises that will take your breath away, imagine yourselfs taking long walks in white sand with no one to bother you, and at night a spectacular moon, that you won't be able to see anywhere else. I came to this place only for a getaway , and went to La Paz, grab my kids and came back so they can enjoy too what this wonderful house this is, that I already feel like mine. So Carol & Guillermo, you are going to hear from us again and that's only because we are leaving to Atlanta for a whole month.
