The master bedroom is connected to this great room area and has a walk in closet and bathroom with shower. There is a smaller back patio that the great room doors open onto.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1992
I am a career educator and artist with many years of living and traveling in Mexico. My family and I drove the Baja Peninsula and camped along the Sea of Cortez for many years before I found Los Barriles and bought property there.
Why the Owner Chose Los Barriles
The first time I visited the Los Barriles area, I fell in love with the simplicity of the landscape: desert turning into clean white sand beaches! The people are so helpful and welcoming, and the ex-patriot U.S. community is well established and works in harmony with the community. Many years ago when I bought my property and began building the house, there were not many things available in Los Barriles, one had to travel to Cabo San Lucas or La Paz to purchase essential items. Now, anything you need you can find in Los Barriles! We even have ATM's and Banks. Yet the simplicity of the community has not essentially changed. This is not a party town, the streets roll up by 9 P.M., yet there are many places to eat and socialize. The beaches are clean and beautiful and unpopulated, the sport fishing industry is local and decades old, Pangas work out of the hotels and there are independent boat captains who will take fishermen out for marlin, dorado and sierra all Summer and all year. Snorkeling can be done anywhere along the shore in the area, and dive centers are also available in Spa Buena Vista and in Cabo Pulmo. Windsurfers have been visiting Los Barriles for years as the wind blows over the Sea of Cortez from October to May. The town is located close enough to San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas for day trips to the south. North of town 1.5 hours is La Paz, a colonial city and port with the feel of mainland Mexico.
The Unique Benefits of this House
After living and traveling in Mexico for many years, I based the design of this home on the houses I had seen in Central Mexico. This is not an American tract home, this is an authentic Mexican home built in the Mexican style: metal and glass doors, tile floors and a central patio. Many native trees were left on the property as well as cactus to retain the local ambiance! This is the home where you want to stay to feel the simplicity and richness of the Mexican culture while you enjoy Los Barriles and the surrounding area.

I have stayed here TWO times now, and I have fallen in love with it's unique appeal! This is the perfect Baja beach home! From the comfortable spacious inside to the zen-like central patio (equipped with a gorgeous mosaic fountain), this is by far the best house on the block! It’s charm and individuality make for a familiarity that makes one feel immediately as though they are at a home away from home. Some of the best snorkeling I've seen on the rocky reef beach footsteps from the front entrance. The native birds are bright, beautiful, and always flying around the patio and front yard. The town, Los Barriles, is not too close but not too far either. There is a supermarket in town and the house kitchen has amenities plentiful enough to stay in and cook or barbeque, but you must try the fish tacos in town.

My two friends and I stayed in this lovely home for a week in June and had a great time! The house is very comfortable, even in the summer heat! We felt well provided for and right at home in a very short time. Los Barriles, the nearest town has a few great places to eat, including El Viejo and La Curva. We loved having the beach so close, less than a 5 minute walk! The yard is perfect for barbecuing and laying the hammock, while the courtyard with its pink fountain is the best place to relax, drink margaritas and look at the stars. Spacious kitchen for cooking. Over all, great house, I would definitely stay here the next time I come down!
