  This was a great trip. The owners were very friendly and made us right at home. They went above and beyond to make our vacation as memorable and enjoyable as possible. I recomend this house for everyone looking to stay at the beach. Beautiful kitchen and very cozy bedrooms. We will be back in the fall with the entire family. Thank you for a great stay.

  Very enjoyable stay at Playa Dorada in the Punta Banda area. The description accurately reflects the 3 bedroom beach house. It's clean and the location is great! The long sandy beach is perfect for morning walks and the water is warm! We had fun with the kayaks. Wi-Fi worked great. We took our laptops and stayed in contact with friends and family. We visited the "Bufadora" nearby for an activity ... It was fun. Also tasted wines at the Santo Tomas Winery a half hour drive away. Very impressive...and good wines. Overall its a very relaxing place, wish we had spent more time there and less of our vacation in other areas. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a hassle free getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you so much, I'm glad that you found the Santo Tomás winery! Come back anytime, you are great guests.

  Best family vacation ever! The location, home, amenities were beyond our expectations. Horseback riding on the beach, walking to restaurants, seeing La Bufadora (the worlds 2nd largest marine geyser), finding the most beautiful shells, wading through tide pools filled with life, kayaking on the calm estuary behind the house (kayaks were at the house), boogie boarding on small waves in front of the house (again with boogie boards that were at the house) - we wanted to stay for ever. My 5 year old son and my 87 father had an equally fantastic time. We will be back for sure!

  Owner response: We loved having you, hope you can come back soon with the whole family! The company and the wine were terrific!

  My partner and I, along with our good friend just spent five days at Linda and Ron's place. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming and helpful! A calm and peaceful beach is literally right outside the door. We had a great time just kicking back, and the house provided us with everything we needed-- boogie boards, kayaks, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles, shampoo, extra blankets, you name it! The house has three bedrooms, including the master suite upstairs. It is the perfect choice for two couples or an entire clan.

  Owner response: We love having you and your very well behaved dogs, who neither colored on the walls nor ate the furniture! Please come back soon, hope you had a good trip and delicious tour through the wine country.

  Stayed this past weekend and had the most amazing time! The house is beautiful and very clean. You can not beach the location directly on the beach. The kayaks were great, as was the porch for sitting outside to soak in the sun. You MUST have Joan come to cook a meal. She served up a delicious brunch on Sunday. One of the best memories on vacation to date. Great tacos shops 10 minutes away and of course Ensenada is about 30 minutes. Thanks for the memories!

  Owner response: You all were terrific guests and are welcome back anytime. Thanks for leaving the house so clean and taking care of things. Hope to see you soon!

  My boyfriend and I along with another couple stayed at this beautiful beach mansion last weekend and it was a dream come true!!! The pictures don't even do it any justice!!! This house is absolutely gorgeous, the beds were comfortable with luxurious linens, the bathrooms were beautiful with tiled showers and baths, the three decks had wonderful views of the ocean and the gourmet kitchen was so much fun to cook in!! The beach was very secluded and private and we bought clams from a local fisherman right off of our patio deck which we grilled later that night. The drive down the coast from San Diego was very easy and safe and we were pleased with the local tamale shops and markets in the area. We had dinner one night at the Marina down the street from the house and it was delicous, but we mostly stayed at the house and cooked in the amazing kitchen and marveled at our views!! We can't wait to come back for another vacation!!

  I was in Mexico for a team trip with some of our BMX/Skate guys. A few days in and around the Mexicali area and we were ready for something a bit more relaxing. This place provided exactly that. I can't convey how much better this place looks in real life. The pictures really do not do it justice. The owners went above and beyond for us, even baking us fresh brownies while we were there! We actually arrived late, having to backtrack and take a different road down. We arrived at 1am and the owners were very welcoming, even after arriving a lot later than we had anticipated. We arrived with 2 flat tires and were quickly told how to get them fixed for the cheapest price. A quick walk over to their place and the owners were glad to tell us how to get around and where to buy what for a good price. I definitely hope to find another time to rent out this property again, as the short time we spent there was very memorable. Whoever rents this place is getting an incredible deal!

  What an awesome house, location and beach to enjoy Mexico. We were overjoyed to see a house with so much room and open design. Anywhere in the house we had a wonderful view of the beach and ocean. We were close to the breaking waves which gave us a peaceful feeling when going to sleep. The beach was all sand, no rocks to walk on or avoid.... I've been to many beaches in the states.. this beach is better than most of them. If you want to sit in hot spings on the beach you can do that. If you want to ride a horse, they have them. Walking or running, I think you can go for 6 miles, its a long way. So really we didn't want to or need to leave the beach house and spend money out in town, we were fine just playing in the sand, using the kayaks and boggy boards. All the beds were well maintained, showers worked well, plenty of water and the kitchen was fully stocked for our cooking needs. We really found a great place to come back to for our summer vacation. Thanks Linda and Ron for sharing your house with us. Dan, Lani, Danny and Brady

  The owners went above duty to make us feel comfortable. Everything we needed or wanted was provided or within ten miles. We felt safe. We could sit at the dining table and hear the seals barking and watch them playing in the ocean. The neighbors were cordial. The house was large enough that six adults did not get in each other's way. The places that the owners recommended for food were fantastic. We look forward to our return.

  Owner response: Thanks, we loved having you and hope you'll come back again and again -- and we'll make up some new beach drinks!

  This is by far the BEST rental property we have ever stayed in. I have paid much more and had much less. The owners really care how your stay is! There was not anything they did not provide- AMAZING!!! The linens were soft, beds very comfortable, kitchen had everything(if you love to cook like we do- you need to stay here!), and the view and beach access are awesome. The upstairs deck off the bedroom,/library is spectacular for morning coffee and after dinner drinks. Neighbors are some folks who live there year-round and very nice. The owners also provided kayaks which are great to take across the road to the estuary! We have been vacationing in ensenada for many years, and I know we will always re-rent this property as you could not ask for more. The bath towels were like some in a five star hotel! They even provide shampoo, Q-tips, you name it, it was there! Incredible. A must rent house if you want the best place you could be on the beach!!! Thank you Ron and Linda for your hospitality and creating the best rental we have ever stayed in. ( In the past- we rented other properties from cruz international which were all a huge disappointment!)
