  We stayed at Casa Duna in early January and could not have imagined a better way to welcome in the new year. The entire property is breathtaking. Most impressive, aside from the luxurious amenities (hot tubs, fireplaces, wood-burning oven, high-end kitchen, extensive gardens) is the homes’ design that allows for simultaneous indoor-outdoor living. The kiteboarders in our group - in particular - were thrilled with the ability to monitor the wind status without leaving the comfort of the couch, and the location of the home was the perfect ending to their downwinders. Of note, Chris, the property manager, is exceptional. He is very knowledgeable of local resources and is incredibly attentive throughout your stay. We’ll definitely be staying at Casa Duna again!

  We came with Cami (see below review). It is impossible to describe this HOME with words or pictures. Everything is exactly how one wants a seaside casa. Every corner has a different view of ocean, garden or cactus. It would take days to explore each corner of the house. Then there is outside! A walk on the beach at sunset or dawn. A short walk into town, along the beach, if you must. Chris is the ultimate host. He seems to sense just when and where to show up, to add a touch of class, or show one how to operate the big screen. He has a wealth of knowledge of Ventana, from kite-surfing to spearfishing to mountain biking the area, or where and when to eat at the local 5 star restaurants. Casa Duna is a treasure. Combined with Ventana and all it has to offer,we will be coming back, and will definitely recommend it to our friends. Guess that means we better book next trip now.

  We had a great time at Casa Duna! We have a toddler and 3 month old and it was equipped for even them to have a fun time! We were able to relax and enjoy the jacuzzi, pool and the view was just gorgeous to wake up to, as well as the sound of the waves. It was fun to be able to make a delicious pizza in the wood burning oven! And to be steps from the beach to splash in the waves! Great Place for the whole family to enjoy the beach yet feel at Home! La pasamos muy bien en Casa Duna! Tenemos una bebé de tres meses y una niña de tres años quienes también disfrutaron de el equipamiento de la casa. Pudimos relajarnos, disfrutamos de el jacuzzi, la alberca y nos despertábamos con la vista al mar y al sonido de las olas. Disfrutamos de pizza hecha al aire libre en el horno de ladrillo. A tan solo pasos de la playa disfrutamos de ir en la mañana a jugar con las olas aún en pijama! Simplemente un lugar maravilloso para disfrutar de la playa al mismo tiempo de la privacidad y comodidad de casa.

  Our group had rented in La Ventana in the past and we were researching potential rental homes when we discovered Casa Duna. I remember seeing it last year when it was under construction and was curious about its story. Lucky for us it was available for rent. No attention to detail was overlooked. The pictures on VRBO hardly do it justice. The house was the perfect combination of all the modern amenities you could hope for (internet, TV, sound system, top of line appliances, green energy systems, hottubs(2), gas fire places), combined with old world craftsmanship with sandstone and travertine tiles throughout, extensive tile and glass work in the baths and pool areas, wood burning pizza oven, Palapas in the front and back and amazing attention to landscape detail. If that was not enough, access to stand up paddle boards, a kayak, and mountain bikes were also available to guests at no additional cost. The care taker of the property was very friendly and knowledgeable and was quick to respond to any requests. With four bedrooms this property is in my opinion the best value in La Ventana. Another bonus is the short walk (10 min) on the beach to Baja Joe's and other La Ventana shops and kite schools. The house is located at the South end of La Ventana Bay so a perfect spot to end your downwinder. See you next year.

  Casa Duna is the ideal vacation! The house is spectacular with stunning mountain, desert and panoramic ocean views. The beach is not built up at all and simply pristine. The three master bedrooms all have incredible views, beautiful bathrooms and super comfortable beds. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking big Mexican meals. There are markets nearby that have everything you need. We regularly ate dinner on the beautiful patio overlooking the ocean and enjoyed the stunning sunsets. For nights when you don't feel like cooking, the town has a ton of great restaurants and bars you can head to afterwards, when you want a night out. We spent our days at one of the home's two pools (one protected from the wind), relaxing on the beach, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and running and biking on the desert trails directly behind the house. Not to mention the hot tub and the polaris ranger for driving and exploring the beach! By far the best vacation I have had! I've never felt so relaxed. I can't wait to go back to Casa Duna.

  We stayed at Casa Duna with two other couples in early August and I'm convinced this will become a yearly trip for us. The house is amazing - glass walls that disappear to take advantage of the breezes, two pools for lounging and sipping cocktails, a gourmet kitchen inside and out, and stunning views of the Sea of Cortez, Jacques Cousteau Island, Sierra de la Giganta mountains, and miles of giant Cardon cacti! We did a Ranger tour with Chris through the arroyos - so fun and totally worth the price. He also recommended a great local spot for dinner one night (Las Palmas) where we feasted on the best chile rellenos and margaritas. The locals were incredibly friendly, we even got some tips early one morning from a fellow paddle boarder who could tell we didn't have any clue as to what we were doing! After a couple of tips and laughs we were definitely pros. I can't wait to go back to spend time on the beach, have margaritas and play cards by the pools, and relax by the fire pit at night while doing some remarkable star gazing.

  WOW! This is a beautiful vacation home. My partner and I are here for a week, and it's wonderfully relaxing. Every room is designed and furnished with comfort and beauty in mind. When the floor-to-ceiling glass doors are open there is no longer a wall so it feels like the view and the gentle breeze have come inside and immersed you in beauty. I spent hours yesterday in the pool, reading and gazing at the ocean. That was after an early morning paddle on the tranquil sea. There are comfortable seating areas all over the house, indoors and outdoors, in shade and sun, in or out of the breeze. The attention to detail in architecture and design is impressive. For example, that commissioned painting over the mantle in the living room opens to reveal a wide screen tv. Even the bathrooms are gorgeous, with beautiful tiling and plush towels. In the master suite, turn one way and you see the ocean, turn the other way and see the cactus forest. So relaxing! Thank you, Casa Duna!

  My family of five spent a glorious week at Casa Duna in mid July. We wanted all the comforts of a resort, without the resort. We wanted to be able to explore the stunning surroundings and venture out into nearby towns, while staying in a beautiful home. We found that and more at Casa Duna. While July in Mexico is hot, it wasn’t any hotter than the weather we left behind at our home in CT. It is a terrific time to go. After landing in Cabo, we stocked up with groceries in Los Barriles, and continued on our way to La Ventana. The consummate caretaker, Chris, greeted us at the front entrance: tall, carved double doors opening into a glorious dining room with the Gulf of California straight ahead, beyond one of two pools. All of the bedrooms have luxurious bedding, their own intricately tiled bathrooms and balconies with ocean views. The master bedroom suite is spectacular. Open on three sides to the ocean, with folding glass doors leading to a huge balcony. There is an abundance of deluxe outdoor furniture, a fire pit off the master bedroom and rooftop which is perfect for stargazing. The kitchen is equipped with top of the line appliances and the home has two outdoor dining areas, one with a grill and wood burning pizza oven. The living room is gorgeous with a state of the art entertainment system. There were paddle boards, which we used every morning at sunrise, an ocean kayak, and snorkeling equipment. Chris told us the best places to snorkel and gave us directions to all the places we marked off as must sees. The villa has a Polaris Ranger at your disposal, making rides down the beach, dunes and arroyos serious fun (not to be used when the turtle eggs are there)! The shops of Todos Santos and El Cerritos beach (the Pacific!) made a great day trip. Balandra Beach near La Paz was stunning. We brought the paddle boards. The shallowness of the water makes it a great place to learn to swim and many people were there with their young children, doing just that. There are small markets in La Ventana and El Sargento. Las Palmas Restaurant is a favorite, as well as the restaurant at Gran Sueno near Los Planes, but we were quite happy cooking for ourselves, reading and exploring.

  We stayed at Casa Duna for 8 nights and it was the most incredibly relaxing vacation ever! The house in AMAZING and the staff was so attentive and helpful! The house is right on the beach and we were able to paddle board and kayak right in front of the house. The views from the house are outstanding! I have a very small child (6 month old) and a two year old, so we were up early every morning to witness the incredible sunrises! :) The house is great for children as there are two pools that my 2 year old had a BLAST in every day! They also have a Polaris that you can take up and down the beach for tours of the incredible scenery and cardones (huge cactus)! I would highly recommend staying here for anyone! We went into "town" for dinner and had the best meal and great service. We also used the grill and fire pit for roasting chicken, fish and wood-fired pizza. Thanks to the incredible Casa Duna staff for making this a vacation we will remember forever.
