  What an amazing place! We have traveled to Mexico quite a bit and stayed at a variety of hotels, resorts and haciendas in little fishing towns. This by far is our favorite place. We spent the week truly enjoying the amenities. The views are spectacular and Luis, the caretaker, was so helpful doing everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. He can arrange for anything you want including fishing trips, ATV rides, a trip to a hidden resort to have lunch and let the kids swim and can even bring in his family to cook an authentic Mexican meal. There are also lots of pool toys, kayaks and paddle boards to keep everyone busy as well. Our favorite thing to do was cook and eat overlooking the ocean and take walks looking for seashells and coral. As the week progressed, we were able to run to one of the local tiendas to get a few things such as homemade tortillas, avocados, tomatoes and of course replenish our Pacifico supply! We had 6 adults and 6 kids 5-8 years old with us, but this home is suitable for any age! It’s truly a piece of heaven once you get settled and start enjoying your time. The locals, and American home owners in this cove are very friendly. If you want to relax and enjoy the beach in seclusion without any hustle and bustle – this is place is a must!

  Pure Paradise. We escaped winter in Idaho for a family gathering and can truly say this was the best idea we ever had. We were a little unsure what to expect when we arrived at the airport, but the taxi service dropped us off right at the front gates and we were soon met by the caretaker who welcomed us to this beautiful destination. We had a truly relaxing vacation in paradise. The weather was great, the accommodations were fantastic, and the location was pure paradise. We will definitely plan on a return visit. Thank you!

  I would like to extend a thank you for helping us with this family vacation. We really wanted to get away from it all and enjoy a piece of paradise and this house provided a very unique setting in which to do so. From the glorious sunrises, walks on the beach, afternoons by the pool, evenings having cocktails on the patio, preparing dinners in an amazing kitchen, and spacious comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning this place seems to have all the bases covered. Luis was fabulous at helping make our stay as good as it could be. We had 12 family members and this is a trip that will not be forgotten. We hope to be back next year for another great time. PS- the beach in front of the house is an outstanding place to let the kids have fun for hours while you sit by the pool and relax.

  The house and grounds are as shown. It is a beautiful setting. The problem(s) we had were do to neglected maintenance. The dishwasher took anywhere from 5 to 7 hours to go through a cycle. The manager was well aware of it but apparently the owner did not want to spend the money. He also did not want to fix the sink and garbage disposal unit. We found a 16 penny nail and two pop tops in the disposal unit. The manager shook his head and gave us a lot of stories about the previous renter. A man whom came to look at it told us that - an this was without looking at it - there was also a leak in the pipe so you could not use the sink either. He apparently had looked at it before. Various lights were out throughout the house - about 10 to 12 - which is a lot. We got some of them replaced but not all. The pool lights did not work because of a broken underground cable. The owner told us he was very sorry for the problems, but that was all he did. We had 17 people and no way to really do dishes, so we used paper plates for 10 days. It is a nice place. A long way from anywhere over bad roads, but you kind of know that before you rent by reading the other reviews.

  We had three families with kids aged 14 through 19 all spend a week at Bahia Sonadora in early January. You always hope that when you book a trip like this that the destination lives up to the hype. In this case, it was better!! We loved the home, very spacious for 14 adults/teenagers. The beach was extremely private and the local surroundings had something for everyone. We had a fantastic deep sea fishing experience, went on wonderful four wheel driving excursions, horse back riding and long peaceful walks. Family members also stayed pool side, read books, enjoyed the weather and just relaxed. Luis was a wonderful caretaker and took care of all our needs. Los Barriles was a 30 minute drive through the mountains but had a fully stocked grocery store, bank, medical clinic and great restaurants. And the local town of El Cardonal had a small grocery store which was very convenient. All is all this was the most relaxing vacation and one we would all love to do again! PS - Trent was great to work with!

  Bahia Sonadora is a great home in a wonderful, quiet and safe location. The home's features were exactly as described in the listing - spacious, beautiful pool, private beach and well maintained. The location, north of Los Barriles, seemed a bit remote at first, but quickly became a real plus for a relaxing vacation with snorkeling, sea kayaking and fun on the beach. The home opens up to beautiful poolside patios where you can watch the sun come up in the morning and hear the ocean. Driving to the home is easy via a paved road thru the desert or a good, safe dirt road along the coastline past Punta Pescadero which is a beautiful drive. The fishing is good and the whale watching was great. Luis the caretaker was very friendly and helpful with everything - arranging fishing, an authentic dinner at the house (a must), providing sea kayaks, etc. And his restaurant in El Cardonal, Tacoriendo, which is very close to the home, was outstanding. The owner was very helpful and good to work with in all respects. This is a great family home and a very special place.

  My husband and family surprised me by organizing this trip as a fortieth birthday present. We brought many family and friends over the 10 days we stayed. Luis was fantastic and helped arrange cars and drivers to bring guests to and from the airport. The home was immaculate and gorgeous - we felt completely spoiled in a 5 star resort. Luis helped with boat trips to restaurants and deep snorkeling, and we loved walking into town to pick up small groceries and meet the locals. We had a diverse group with children as young as 10 months and grandparents too. the pool was perfect for kids, safe and clean. we watched horses comedown to the beach for rolling in the sea, and dogs herded goats and cows down nearby to cool off at the waters edge. The swim up bar was a huge plus for us, and the whole patio area was a perfect adult birthday party venue once the kids went to sleep ;) It was a little more remote than originally thought, with the last road over from Los Barriles being a slower one, but we quickly realized we had absolutely no reason to leave at all! We welcomed the privacy, making communal meals and spending seriously quality time together. Luis and his family made sure we were well taken care of. There were a lot of moms on the trip so we didn't opt for housekeeping but we did get the most amazing meal cooked for us in the kitchen and ate leftovers for days! We had truly a magical and unforgettable experience here, my 3 year old still calls it 'the special beach' and we look forward to next time.

  I feel like a bit of a follower adding ANOTHER 5-star "excellent" review... but I have to agree with the other reviewers... this was a spectacular property and a 5-star experience. The property: The pictures don't really do it justice. The house is truly a luxury home with luxury amenities and fixtures. Aside from an occasional locked closet, it doesn't feel like a rental property at all.The great room plus bedrooms layout of the house makes it comfortable and homey for 4-6 people just as easily as it does 12 - 14. The location: Again the pictures don't do it justice. This beautiful sandy cove and warm calm water is my idea of a slice of heaven. There are other houses around but they don't intrude on your experience. You are off the beaten path (little to no cell phone reception but house has pretty good internet connection), so if you are looking for nightlife or a city tourist experience this may not be the property for you. There is a little town nearby (really a local village with a grocery store and a few rustic restaurants with amazing tacos). Los Barilles proper is 35-40 minutes away. It's a scenic drive though. Service: It really depends how you want to do it, but I recommend you take their suggestion to hire their local caretaker to cook, bartend, and clean for you. It really completes the private resort feeling and they are very nice people. Recreation: You are next to Los Barilles so the fishing is world class. They'll setup a charter for you that can pick you up right at the house (if you don't mind wading in waist deep water). We caught dinner multiple times within site of the house. On my second trip I was pleasantly surprised at the local snorkeling opportunities. The kids loved running around and playing on the beach in front of the house. This is also a famous kite surfing area but I don't know much about that. Bottom line is I can't wait to go back.

  This is one of my favorite places on earth. Been to this house twice once with kids once with adults. The accommodations are seconded to none. The house is decorated beautifully with high end appliances and a bathroom and shower in every room. My favorite part of the place is the patio and pool, when we weren’t fishing we were drinking beer and eating fresh made salsa and guacamole in the pool. The care taker is amazing he took care of our every need from fishing, kayaks, and a boat ride to a beautiful restaurant with amazing snorkeling. The house isn’t located near much but it’s quiet and peaceful. I will be back again next year. Thanks Trent for providing and maintaining such an outstanding vacation rental.

  My family had a great vacation experience at this house. The view and scenery being right on the beach is as good as it gets. This place is located near some of the best fishing in the world so we had a lot of fun renting a fishing charter then bringing our catch back to bbq by the pool. The house was very clean when we arrived and we intend to rent this property again.
