Miles of deserted white sand beaches await your discovery. This charming casita is located in the East Cape region of Baja California Sur, atop a breeze-catching knoll overlooking the rest of the large beachfront property. The beach is only 100 meters from your front door! Walking distance to the only restaurant/bar in the area with live musical entertainment every Saturday night.
Great bird watching in the surrounding desert. Whale watch from your patio or charter a boat with one of the local fishermen. Dive or snorkel right off the beach or drive 17 miles to Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park, site of the only hard coral reef in the Sea of Cortez. There you can dive with huge schools of fish, morbula rays, whale sharks, goliath groupers and hammerhead sharks.
Kite or wind surf launching right out front! Humpback whales pass on their way North as you enjoy a cocktail on the large shaded patio.
Minimize your carbon footprint while you vacation in this solar-powered home! Owners are knowledgeable about local tourism services, natural history and are bilingual. Ask about our catering service, in-room massage and yoga instruction.
Stay for a week or longer and receive our special discounted rate. We have also hosted weddings and the casita provides the ideal location for the bridal party to get ready while the groom bites his nails down at the main house.

About Dawn Pier
Dawn and Tony moved to the beach on the Sea of Cortez because of their love for the ocean and isolation of their desert retreat. Dawn moved from Canada to work in conservation in Cabo Pulmo National Park and Tony came here from the San Francisco Bay area because of his love of sailing. They met here and together designed and built the guest house that has become their vacation rental.
Dawn Pier purchased this House in 2000
Why Dawn Pier chose Los Cabos
Tony bought this property because it has one of the most spectacular views of the surrounding area and the Sea of Cortez that he could find AND it's RIGHT ON THE BEACH! The tropical climate and low density development are what drew us to the East Cape of Baja. We wanted to get away from it all and that is exactly what this place allows us to do. There are no other houses visible to the North of our property and our neighbors to the South are only here part-time, so we rarely see a soul. The beach here is incredible...just sand and more sand.
What makes this House unique
Waking up to the sun rising over the Sea of Cortez is a very special way to start the day. A big plus of where we live is that we are completely independent...we live off the grid, which means that we produce our own power and have water delivered by truck from one of the local ranches. I love that we produce all our energy from the sun!! And still live with all the creature comforts. Amazing!

WOW - Amazing and Breathtaking Indeed!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We look forward to your return.
Amazing vacation 😊
Great place. Very comfortable.
A Perfect Stay
Thank you for your review Melissa! We're thrilled that you enjoyed everything so much and that the casita exceeded your expectations. The moon rises over the Sea of Cortez this past week were a gift from Mother Nature, so we won't take credit, but they are a great treat. We look forward to your return!
Great place, fair price, quiet and comfortable. We will be back! Thanks Dawn!
