Why Bev Durvin chose Baja California Sur
After touring many cities in Mexico, we decided that La Paz was the perfect place to build our future retirement. Ensconced along the largest bay on Baja’s Sea of Cortez coast, La Paz is noted for a beautiful malecon (waterfront walkway) backed by palm trees, pastel-colored buildings, spectacular sea-side sunsets, easy-going pace and it’s proximity to uncrowded beaches and pristine islands. La Paz has the perfect blend of a beautiful historic city set against a tranquil desert and a pristine, turquoise ocean abundant with marine life. We think La Paz offers a great blend of an old world city with friendly people yet also provides all the amenities of a large city without the big city feel. Beware! Legend has it that once a traveller visits La Paz, he leaves a piece of his heart there, and is always drawn feeling complete again when returning to this wonderful place.
What makes this house unique
People who have stayed at our property consistently tell us that once they arrive they are content to just relax in our inviting great room, cook up a sumptious meal in our fully-equipped kitchen, and enjoy their family and friends in a luxurious getaway from it all. You can pamper yourself in the large, private infinity pool overlooking the ocean; enjoy a margarita as you recline on the sunken bar stools. Both the pool and the 8-person hot tub provide the perfect backdrop to view the stunning sunsets and watch as the La Paz cities lights blink on. La Paz is only 15 minutes away and offers a wide range of restaurants from Italian, to high-end Mexican fusion, to delicious tacos and sumptious seafood cocktails. Previous guests have let us know that fishing in the Sea of Cortez, whale watching, kayaking, wind-surfing, snorkeling and wandering along pristine beaches are some of the favored activities.
Guestbook comments from the manager
From the moment I walked into what was to be home for a week, I was constantly delighted by each expression of architectural thought and design. It started outside with the use of stone walls which continued to the inside and repeated the pattern through to the master suite.
All this after walking under the awesome barrel shaped brick ceiling. The use of beautiful marble and onyx, in the kitchen and bathrooms fit in perfectly. My thrill continued as I observed the furniture of wood which has the feeling of age and so many of pieces reflect the wonder of nature - especially the spectacular dining room table.
All of this is to say, as an artist who sculpts in stone, thank you for sharing your home. It has been a delight.
Sincerely,

Tranquil Bliss
We enjoyed our amazing Baja Oasis just outside La Paz. We had an amazing time enjoying the pool, hot tub. And grilling. The property is lovely with many amenities. It was very homey and tranquil. Beautiful birds to watch daily by the pool. Thanks for an AMAZING stay. We will be back!!
Beautiful home just outside La Paz
The home itself was beautiful, the Pool and hot tub were very well maintained and lovely. We had 5 adults and 2 small children and we were very comfortable! Bev was extremely helpful and attentive. She arranged cooks for us which was so nice! She also arranged a day on a boat - to Espiritu - what a great day! Snorkeling with sea lions, ceviche and cerveza on a white sand beach. Very nice wet suits, snorkel gear etc was included. Helpful to know that the home is located 'off the beaten path'.. so activity outside of the home requires a drive... of 20-60min... but as long as you recognize that- we highly recommend this home! Plan to exchange money before you arrive or use an ATM - don't exchange at the airport.. rate is horrible
An Oasis in La Paz
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property! The property offers beautiful views, privacy and quiet surroundings. The home was spacious and clean. The property manager Bev is very friendly and easy to work with. We hope to be able to return again in the near future!
Very tranquil
We had a group of 7, 4 adults and 3 teenagers, we gave the kids the main house and the adults had the other buildings. It is a very quiet place the house was bigger then expected and the views are amazing. Bev ' S recommendations on restaurants was great, all good food and service. And we really enjoyed the whale shark tour they were amazing To see and our guide was awesome.
Clean and stunning interior and exterior with gorgeous architectural details tones and materials!
Everything about the property is wonderful including the managers who assisted us with any questions we had about the property or local area. The pool and hot tub are stunning along with the views surrounding them. It was very nice to be in a quiet secluded section of town while still being just a brief drive from the main parts of La Paz. From stunning sunsets to endless starry nights, this is a gem in a wonderful baja town! The whale sharks are just up the road, everything in town is less than 10-15 min away, I would highly recommend this property to anyone from couples to families or large groups as it can easily accommodate any of the above.
Awesome pool and great home!
As a group of six (3 couples) our stay here was wonderful and the property manager was extremely accommodating with lots of helpful information and recommendations for good restaurants close by and in town. We took her advice and booked a trip to Isla Espiritu Santo to dive and snorkel with whale sharks and sea lion pups through Red Travel and we were not disappointed. The trip was amazing and our three guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. The food at all the restaurants we dined at was excellent as was the in home meals prepared by our cook, Miriam. La Paz is a beautiful city rich in history and culture and the locals are very friendly and helpful. We loved the fact that there's plenty of good shopping, places to eat, and fun things to see and do while not bei g over run with tourists. Loved every minute of our visit and can't wait to go again!!
