The kitchen has tiled counters and a center preparation/serving island with a sink.

The house may be rented as a whole, including the 2nd floor master suite or as the 1st floor only ( 2 bedrooms; 1.5 baths) with access to large 2nd floor terrace.

                            At the beggining with a bad review out of several we were a little hesistant. However, speaking with the owner and representative we decided to give it a go. We walked in this place, it was magical. No words to describe the amount of time and effort someone has place in this amazing home. We were surprise with the surrounding beauty and enjoy so much all the small details that owners went to make yourself at home. The fireplace seating facing the inside patio, or just cooking in the bbq area was so peaceful. We are planning definite to come back, highly recomended

                            Wow! Could not beleive how peaceful it is there. Every night a gorgeous sunset from the master bedroom and the patios on both levels. The top floor is designed basically as a private living area/bedroom apart from the rest of the living and sleeping areas. I enjoyed the beautiful gardens and planted areas which add much color to the desert surroundings. The desert air was perfect for my arthritis, but I could still hear the lapping of the waves from the mighty Pacific and see them from my room. A great place to visit and relax. I'm hooked! The owners were very accomodating yet non-intrusive.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+.

                            Stayed at this home for 6 weeks. From the first day we arrived we had problems. Didn't have ANY running water the first few days. Property manager was very unresponsive. About half the time we stayed there we didn't have running water for anything; couldn;'t flush the toilets, do dishes, take showers etc. The ownder blamed it on pipes that were being worked on in town, even though everyone else had water. Wiindows in the house couldnt open because it was blocked by blinds that had to be removed and windows opened inwards. Fridge broke and owner blamed it on us. The outdoor shower had no drainage system and was blocked by gravel. There was no internet the first 2 weeks we arrived. The house is cracking and falling apart and during a heavy rainfall, the house's ceiling started collapsing. The house was leaking from everywhere and some of our things got ruined. The owner complained that she "did not like the way we left things", when we were sweeping out buckets of water, with concrete falling everywhere, trying to clean up the house and save some of our things. The owner makes falls promises. When we called her and told her about our problems, she made all sorts of promises and apologised for any discomfort we might have had. She even invited us back for a free stay. Then she went back on her word and tried to evict us the next day. She then tried to get our previous landlord involved to spread rumours about us. Luckily she knew we were good tenants and helped us get our security depost back! This owner still ows us money for the electricity bill that she took out of our security deposit and won't respond to any emails. Please beware and do yourself a favor and rent another beautiful home in Todos Santos... just not this one. The house is a mess and the owner will blame your for her problems.

                            Mi Casita Azul, they had everything you would want to make it feel like home. You could tell the a lot of care went into the house with the beautiful decor. One of our favorite things about staying there was waking up in the master bedroom to a breathtaking ocean view. La Pastora and all the great views. The location of Mi Casita Azul,is greatt since you could walk to the ocean and also be a short drive to town. Alex, is an amazing property manager, attention to detail. Lovely grounds, the grill with magnificient views of the ocean, it was just spectacular

                            We enjoyed our time at Mi Casita Azul very much - lovely house and town! We can't wait to return and have already told our friends what a magical place it is. Alex and Augusto were very helpful in showing us the ropes so that we would be comfortable.

                          Year Purchased: 2000

                          About the owner: Giving back to the community is part of sharing this piece of paradise. Thus, a portion of the funds from the house rental are going to establish a free community heath promotion clinic in Todos Santos.

                          Why the Owner Chose Todos Santos:
                          I used to live near this area. Todos Santos is a very charming town, the Carmel of Mexico, where anyone can get away from the busy life and enjoy magnificent views, unspoiled beaches, galleries, great restaurants and good wine, yet a keep it a simple life with easygoing, interesting, friendly people. Native locals, and a diverse international community and visitors all get along.

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          I have one of the most magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre. The ocean is so close that you can clearly hear the waves and the birds. When the moon is small, the sky is filled with thousands of stars, that normally you can't see. The peacefulness that the area offers is re-invigorating. The area is known for the city of the 365 sunsets, they are spectacular, and you definitely can enjoy them from the comfort of the house, or also, you can join the eclectic mix of this friendly, diverse, international and local community, at the beach. The area is safe and peaceful.
