Why Robert Winquist chose Baja California Sur
Growing up in a family that loved camping on the Baja, I always knew I wanted to retire here. Somewhere that was easy to get to, natural and pristine. I drove the entire peninsula many times looking for the perfect spot. Whenever I drove through Pescadero I couldn't stop smiling because it felt so right. I honestly believe this is one of those powerful spots on the planet that attracts good energy. Robert's Place is a gathering spot for friends and family that we are happy to share with others.
What makes this estate unique
Surprisingly, one of the daily benefits I enjoy is driving the single lane dirt farm road that leads 1 mile out to the highway. The experience of slowing way down to enjoy the lushness of the crops and the pace at which they grow is its own reward. The standard of courtesy and kindness exchanged between very different types of people as we pull over to make room for each other is a genuine old Mexico experience.
Another hidden benefit which reveals the relaxing approach to living here is Whale Watching - Pescadero Style. You can sit for hours watching whales breach and spout as they swim past in front of the house. On a calm day it is possible to kayak out and sit quietly as a pod of whales passes within a hundred feet of you. Sometimes they linger for days outside of the breaking waves near shore. If you are the adventurous type, borrow a mask and fins and swim out! Welcome to Whale Watching - Pescadero Style!
Vacationing here is like living in a nature sanctuary. Egrets feed in the tide pools. Fishermen cast from shore for Spanish Mackerel and Rooster fish at dawn. And bonfires on the beach are a tradition. This is the Baja I knew as a child.

Reviews
Excellent!
4.7/5 -

Memorable!
My son and four of his closest friends graduated from high school and I wanted to find a place on the beach away from the maddening hoards of Cabo. Robert's Ocean Oasis was surfside of exactly what I was looking for.
As other reviewers have posted, don't expect a 5-star Ritz Carlton. Knowing that, I prepped everyone (thirteen people in total) to expect a laid back surfing location with constant sand between the toes and waves crashing on the shore.
It's old school Baja, complete with dusty roads and a host who knows the area extremely well. We took every one of Dr. Robert's suggestions and enjoyed them all.
We all agreed that it was a most memorable and enjoyable holiday and would have done it all again the exact same way.
terrible host. kept watching over us and asking for more money. kept eating our food. will never go
property is run down. 1 step above camping. too bad as it is right on beach in good location. needs upgrading and host to leave guests alone. instead of always around
The ultimate sandy beach party pad
We traveled to Dr. Robert's place over the weekend and had an outstanding time. His property will comfortably accommodate very large groups. Keep in mind, this is not a five-star resort! No chocolates on your pillows, but the beds, linens, and towels were clean and supplied upon our arrival. There were nine guys in our group (traveling for my brother's bachelor party) and we could not have asked for a better location for cervezas and beach games.
*One important detail* Since the property is directly oceanfront, it's quite isolated. So, reliable transportation is key. We worked with Todos Santos Private Transportation (http://tsprivatetransportation.com/) and it was the best customer experience I've had. Mario was our contact, he and basically kept us an open tab until our return to the airport. One bachelor described Mario as a "spirit guide" through Mexico. His company drivers took reat care of us, and were fairly priced.
If you want a maid to clean your bedroom, do not go here. If you're seeking an epic weekend of bonfires, beach games, and sandy feet - this is the place for you. Last note, there is a sought after surfing point break 100 yards north and a cool beachside bar directly in front.
Enjoy!
A Great Property With A Great Host
Our Family stayed at Dr. Roberts beautiful property in January 2017. What an amazing property, and Robert was the most gracious host we have ever met. He stays discreetly on the premises, so is available if any issue arises. And folks, it is the Baja. Issues do arise. Appliances might go out, drains might be a bit slow. But Robert quickly takes care of what needs to be done, setting things straight. At one point, our rental car had a flat tire while we were en route to our whale shark swimming tour. Unfortunately the spare was also flat. Robert came to the rescue! He willingly piled all of us into his truck, drove us to our boat, waited in town all day, and drove us home. This is just one way Robert constantly went the extra mile, or in this case, fifty miles.
The property itself is beautiful. It is not the Ritz, it is a comfortable, lovely beach property. The only awkward spot is one bedroom in the main house links to another bedroom, so one has to walk through the other bedroom to get to the hall and bathroom. But it is more than made up by the fact the property is right on the beach, baby turtles are released just down the beach, and most of the time, we had the beach to ourselves.
I highly recommend this property and Robert for any vacation on the Baja. The road down to the beach is bumpy and a mile long, but there are fields of basil growing along the way. It truly is a beautiful place.
loved it
amazing location, good price. We already want to go back
Laid back beach vibes.
Dr Robert's compound is perfectly situated at San Pedrito's, a great right-handed point break and a very low key beach hang. Nice to get away from the crowds at Cerritos. We saw many whales from our beachfront perch, as well as dolphins on our last day. The Sunrise suite was perfect for a couple. Dr Robert also had great recommendations on dining and activities, as well as beach umbrellas, boogieboards, and wetsuits for making the most of perfect days at the beach. Highly recommended!
