Have been traveling down to Los Barriles for years now, staying in Casa Paloma. Every time we are there we are constantly reminded how beautiful the Baja is and how incredible DC and Paula are as hosts. Whether we are traveling as a family or with another couple we are never disappointed. Tons of activities and restaurants to enjoy. Would highly recommend a stay at Paradise on the beach!!!!

Casa Paloma had everything we needed - peaceful oceanfront living, comfy beds, nice showers & fully functioning kitchen, all beautifully decorated. Steps from the sea, we enjoyed snorkeling at the point and stunning sunrise strolls. Nearby Los Barriles has great shops & dining. We also cooked a lot at home & found everything we needed in town. Wi-Fi was the only thing lacking, but we were able to connect next door at the owners. Paula & DC are very gracious hosts with whom we will keep in touch! We had amazing day trips to Cabo Pulmo & Los Frailes, La Paz, Pichilingue & Balandra, and nearby Santiago & Canon de la Zorra - all incredible! It was very hard to leave this little slice of heaven.

A truly amazing holiday. Words cannot describe how beautiful Casa Paloma is. The pictures on the web site do not do it any justice. Absolutely everything exceeded our expectations. The only thing more wonderful than Los Barriles are DC and Paula. Two incredible people. Counting the days til we are there again.

I know it was a great vacation when I am tearful to leave. This one was perfect. 4 of us spent 7 nights. We have found new friends in Paula and DC and booked the next yr before we left. It was a perfect place for 2 couples, seperate king bed suites, an amazingly stocked Casa. All you need is food and your swimming suit. Beautifully quiet. This is not the place if you want bars/ disco's and noise, but IT IS the place if you want a beautiful sea, walk the beach looking for sea glass, relax, relax , relax, and make good friends in the meantime. One of the best vacations ever!

My family was one of the first to stay with DC and Paula at this great piece of paradise 2 years ago. I am pleased to tell you that we just got back 7/27/07 from another outstanding trip with them. I have stayed in this area for over 25 years and have never met anyone who is as helpful, willing and ready to make your vacation a success as these 2 people. They will go beyond your expectations to ensure that you have everything that you need. You will indeed be made to feel like family and hate to leave this place. The house is very clean and you will have everything that you need including kayaks, snorkle gear, float devices, beach towels, washer and dryer, AIR conditioning, fully furnished with a pretty good stocked fridge and safe water. As always I go for the fishing and the family goes for the sun and this is one of the best places in Baja to have both. I played in Cabo for a lot of years and was very happy to discover this area about 12 years ago. Think Cabo 20 years ago only better. Not much night life but a couple of good places to eat and it is only an hour away if that if that is what you're looking for. Thanks again DC and Paula, we will see you again soon.

The beauty of Casa Paloma,Is not defined by it’s warm clear blue waters, white sandy beaches, or even the spectacular sunrises and sunsets, but rather by the memories of them. Many things in life can only be understood by experiencing them, and the tranquility of Casa Paloma is one of those things. Think of it as a vacation rental if you will, but consider it a privilege, and don’t forget to raise a toast to the first mate and render a salute to the captain on your way out.May 2007Bob & Linda KirchgeslerFort Collins, CO

We recently spent two wonderful nights at Casa Paloma with our friends. Paula and the "Captain" were gracious hosts and our casa was absolutely perfect. Waking up with the beautiful (close) view of the ocean couldn't have been better. And Paula has created a well-stocked kitchen. We will be back for a longer visit next time.

We spent our honeymoon at the hacienda in January of 2006. We absolutely loved the town, the house, Duane and Paula. Our first trip to Mexico was wonderfully comfortable and Duane and Paula made sure that we had all of the information and amenities we needed. We look forward to a return visit. Take the opportunity to stay here!!

We spent 7 incredible days here fishing the beaches and plan to do it again soon. You couldn't find friendlier or more hospitable hosts than DC & Paula, and we've stayed at a number of places in the area over the years. This place really stands out with all the necessities and LOTS of extras, all for a great price. Thanks again DC & Paula!

Shared this beautiful home on the beach with another couple for 4 days after first spending a week at our timeshare in Cabo. It was so peaceful and relaxing that it seemed twice as long as the week at our timeshare. Paula, sorry you were away at the time we would have loved to meet you but rest assured DC made us feel like old friends. As soon as we can plan for our stay next year you will be hearing from us. Bob & Linda P.S. To readers of this post - If you vacation here don't offer to buy the place because I want it.

We just returned home from an exceptionally restful week at Casa Paloma. The beach and Sea of Cortez were great for relaxing and swimming and Paula and DC's beach house is perfectly designed and equipped. They were wonderful hosts and we will surely return to this special retreat.

We had four wonderful days there. It is beautiful. Paula and Duane (owners) made us feel right at home. The house is set up so you don't need to buy too many food items, frig is so well stocked and they have supplied so many things its amazing. The beach is beautiful and you can hear it sing you to sleep. The sky is so clear at night, beautiful. You won't be disapointed, we loved staying here. Very well designed for two couples.

THANK YOU PAULA AND DC for sharing your little piece of paradise with us for 14 fabulous days. What a wonderful place to spend our 25th anniversary. Your place has been lovingly built and decorated, and that warmth made us feel more like family than renters. All the necessities are there, plus some; and there are so many extra's that we felt we could have been at home. (but thank goodness we weren't). The beach was wonderful, full of treasures. The fishing was good for the guys. Los Barilles was a fun little town that we had a good time exploring. We loved our drive up to LaPaz, then down the Pacific side of the baja to Cabo, and back up the Sea of Cortez side back to 'our' house. The time spent just soaking up the sun with margaritas at our side and watching the ocean in between novels was wonderful. But most of all, you both took such good care of us; lighted our world, and smoothed out the road for the most wonderful vacation...We'll be back for sure!!!

Hi Paula and D.C.! We made it home after spending a couple of days in La Paz. Tecolate was just gorgeous, as you said! It is snowing here, tonight the mountains are supposed to get 5-10 inches, oh I miss the beach!! We can't thank you two enough for the most wonderful time we had at your place, it was absolutely PERFECT!! I tell everyone, if you are going to Baja, let me know, I know the perfect place to stay. We really do feel fortunate that we found it on the internet, we couldn't have asked for anything more, I really do mean that. Anyway, have a great day and THANK YOU!! I am sure we will meet again, I can't think of a better place to vacation for fun, beauty, and relaxation! Thanks Paula and D.C.!!! Kelley Money

This vacation was the best! The house and location are wonderful. Six miles out of town right on the beautiful beach. At sunrise we would walk out the slidng door and go fishing in the front yard.. What a delight to have the ocean and a beach as your front yard. Beautiful house, lots of privacy. Definitely want to return for a longer vacation. This place is a winner!

What a joy!! From the amazing beach, comfortable lodging and gracious hosts, our stay at D.C. and Paula's "guesthouse" was thoroughly enjoyable. Step out the front door and you are in paradise! We would recommend this house highly to everyone. Bring a book, walk the beach, swim with the fish, relax, it's Baja at it's best!
