A beautiful two bedroom casa with everything needed for a family stay during the holidays. Nopolo offers a crisp, well maintained setting of homes only 10 minutes from LTO airport. The location in founders is close to the beach and walkable to all of the restaurants and shops. The hosts were wonderful, and the property manager & staff were responsive and went above & beyond to make our stay fantastic. Sunrise on the beach is a real treat!

Great stay in Nopolo

This is a great little ex-pat community near Loreto. The house was as advertised. And we had really good access (walking) to the beach & amenities in Nopolo. Also, easy access (by car) to both Loreto and Puerto Escondido. We really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent Location and a Quiet Neighborhood

Our comfortable vacation at Bahia Encantada Casa provided the perfect way to relax without a car. We took a taxi to & from the airport, but stayed in Loreto Bay for our entire week. Restaurants are close by with excellent food. We could snorkel from the beach, and Desert & Sea Expeditions picked us up on the beach for a half day tour of Islas Carmen and Danzante. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous house with a really cool design. Very peaceful. There isn't much to do in the little Loreto Bay village (immediate area) but all the restaurants were good and the people were lovely/super friendly. The beach isn't the nicest you'll find around Loreto but it's a very pretty place nonetheless. The house itself had a few minor issues and need a little more TLC (e.g., burnt out lights, clogged drains, no extra TP). Candidly the check-in process wasn't the smoothest and there were no real instructions on the house/recommendations like you often find in rentals. If you're looking to relax, this is great spot!

Fabulous Stay at Loreto Bay

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at Loreto Bay! This property is gorgeous. We had everything we needed. The courtyard was a pleasant surprise, much better than anticipated! The townhouse would be perfect for two couples, with two master suites that are completely private! The beach is beautiful and a short walk from the townhouse. This property and surrounding area are meticulously cared for! We love Baja and look forward to returning to Loreto Bay!

2 weeks in Loreto

We were very happy with the casa and I can say this after visiting Nopolo for our 5th time. The beds were comfortable, they had a great barbeque, and the layout with the second bed and ensuite worked perfectly for our family. A minor improvement would be having a better non-stick frying pan ( we ended up buying one and left it as a gift). Would we stay there again- you betcha.

Loreto Bay 207

Loreto Bay is a laid back, relaxing, beautiful place and our home was in the perfect location and was very comfortable. The upper patio is fantastic with a bbq. Lots of places to sit in the sun or shade. We used the laundry and it was convenient to have. A couple of fixes, the drain in the upper shower did not drain very well and the shower water was not warm enough. We enjoyed our stay and we will come back to Loreto Bsy in the future.

Regarding in Review: 2nd level shower water was not warm enough. It is necessary to run the hot water for a minute until hot. Once hot water delivers, water is hot enough. The drain in same shower will be serviced so it drains well.

Golfer's will love this

We spent 8 days in this wonderful condo. Just as described in the listing. We cooked breakfast & lunch in the condo, & found a number of great restaurants for dinner. Our favorite was Sabor-a short drive from the condo. Golf on a beautiful course for $125 for the week-we took advantage of this, and played seven days in a row. A nice side trip-drive to the Pacific-about 2 hours- and view the whales. We plan on returning next year. Ron-Seattle

Well appointed

We enjoyed our stay here, the rental was exactly as described, perfect for two couples. The kitchen actually had plenty of dishes, including pitchers, tupperware and some seasonings. Super helpful and much more relaxing than having to purchase everything for a short stay. The management company and owners were super responsive when we had any questions. If I had any "complaints" it would be that the top deck with the view of the bay was not as nice as we have seen before. The unit is just a bit further from the water but still a SUPER easy walk to the beach! Would definitely stay here again

We Love Loreto Adventures

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share your beautiful home with us! The home was beautifully decorated. The VIEW was magnificent! We were so comfortable there. It was like home away from home. The landscape was impeccably maintained. The variety of plants were quite unique. The pools were very nice. The founder's village security staff, were friendly and professional. We took our boat to Loreto for the first time. We launched our boat at Puerto Escondido Marina. The staff was helpful and friendly. We adventured out to a few of the islands. The water was so clear. It was perfect for snorkeling. We had our family friends drive up from Loreto. What a wonderful vacation for all of us! The memories we make in Loreto are always incredible ones! If you want to stay in or adventure out, this is definitely, on our top 3 best places to vacation! THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Until the next adventure...:)

Olympic sized, salt water, heated pool

We found this charming Nopolo condo very comfortable, spacious and secure . The Olympic sized, salt water, heated pool, which is just 2-3 blocks walk away was the major reason we selected Margaret’s unit, and it exceeded expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed it and never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get in. Everyone we met in this expatriate community was friendly and happy to chat with us about any questions we had. We did spend most of our time in Loreto, which is about a 12-15 min drive north, so you definitely want a car if you want to see more of the Mexican culture. Margaret was easy to communicate with and proactively sent check-in directions twice to me, which was helpful…I had missed them the first time. Highly recommend.

Overall this is a great property and location. Directions to check in location were poor. A separate map to the property manager and security for parking pass would be an improvement.

Villa was dirty when we arrived. Cleaned the refrigerator, washed the sheets, swept floors. So cleaners didn’t come close to doing their job.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Kawasaki

Host profile image
I am a scientist, organic chemist, and work at a biotech in San Diego. My wife Maggi, is a Realtor in San Diego and Mary is a geologist and owner of her own company. We jointly own this property. We love nature, kayaking, scuba, snorkeling, hiking, swimming, dining, entertaining and meeting interesting people.

Why they chose this property

We were mesmerized by the natural beauty of Loreto Bay. We found the people of Loreto Bay and Loreto so interesting, engaging, and friendly. A short drive (about 7 min) to the new Loreto international airport, 10 min to town.

What makes this property unique

A very short walk to the beach (107 yd). Long walks on the beach in the sun or long days just being on the beach under the palapas. Kayak trips that last for hours. We typically see abundant wildlife: dolphins, fish, rays, birds. Whale-watching (Jan-Mar) is incredible and requires only about a 3 hour drive on excellent roads to the Pacific Ocean (you can book a trip or drive yourself). Loreto Bay is a golfer's paradise! End the day in our viewing tower with spectacular views of the mountains and ocean.
