Location: Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, Mexico (45 Minutes from Cabo San Lucas Airport)
Accommodations: Home, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Bienvenidos! Relax and enjoy “Baja time” at this beautiful beachfront home located on the white sandy beach on the Sea of Cortez. Constructed in the traditional Mexican hacienda style, the home has large verandas and outdoor living areas where you can experience spectacular sunrises over the Sea of Cortez, as well as enjoy the calm tranquility and starry skies of the evening.
The main living area is large and airy with a spacious, well-equipped kitchen on one end and the main sitting / living room at the other. You will enjoy beautiful views with all the activity on the Sea of Cortez through the six sliding glass doors that flank the beach side of the house. The living area also has a full bath, along with laundry facilities, and access to the fourth bedroom. Situated on a gated acre of land, parking for several cars, an RV, or boat is available in the courtyard or on street next to the house.
The 3-bedroom wing of the house has its own entrance from the front veranda. In addition, each of the bedrooms has a separate entrance to private patios and verandas. There are two master bedrooms, each with queen-sized beds. One bedroom has its own large private bath; the other master shares a full large bath with the third bedroom furnished with twin beds. The fourth bedroom (also with a queen bed) utilizes the bath in the main house. This bedroom also has a private entrance through sliding doors off the front veranda and can be accessed from the main living area. The two large sofas in the living room also convert to beds to provide space for those few extra guests. For the younger members of the party, there are two thick foldable floor mattresses that can comfortably accommodate toddlers up to teenagers.
What’s your idea of the perfect vacation? As you sit sipping your morning coffee on the veranda, you may catch sight of whales and their calves passing through, bat rays leaping out of the sea as they try to fly, or a school of porpoise traveling through. This area has also become “the place to be” for kite boarding/surfing and a short walk north from the house will take you to ExotiKite, where all gear and equipment is provided by certified instructors who will teach you the fine art of kite-boarding.
Or, you can rent ATV’s and take an adventurous ride through the arroyos and hike to picturesque waterfalls. Maybe you’d rather take a picnic lunch and snorkel and/or scuba dive at Cabo Pulma, a national marine park with one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, where you can swim with the sea lions and the many diverse species that inhabit the reef. Fishing for marlin, sailfish, yellow fin tuna, and Dorado is always in season, with many boats and crew available for day trips. We will be glad to recommend several from which to choose. On the other hand, if you'd rather be a real captain of the seas, there are 2 hard-sided sit-on-top tandem ocean kayaks available for you and your first mate's use.
Arrangements for horseback riding, a day trip to the quaint Mexican village of Santiago with shopping and dining, or a day trip to Cabo San Lucas for more excitement can all be arranged. If relaxation is what you have in mind, leisurely walks on the beach, unwinding in one of the many outdoor hammocks at the house, or just taking it easy are all yours for the asking. There are many different restaurants in town, or if you prefer to dine in, a wonderful meal can be arranged. Daily maid service is available upon request to help with the daily necessities and keep you in a stress-free environment. We will help you plan and arrange everything to make your time here as perfect and pleasurable as possible.
Before you know it, you will be in “Baja time” – a slower paced lifestyle where the days slip one into the next and daily cares become less important, where people are friendly, and life goes at its own pace. Remember, there is always mañana . . . so enjoy the moment!
