Loreto, Baja, Mexico

We loved Eliisa's place! She and her property manager were wonderful to deal with. The home is in a great spot, and the security people and other people who either lived or were staying at Loreto Bay were also very friendly. The home itself was amazing. We loved the outdoor spaces and spent a lot of time in the garden area, reading, playing cards, and visiting. The rooftop space was great for star gazing.

The beds were super comfy, and huge, and we loved the fact that it had two master bedrooms with their own complete bathrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we found everything we needed to prepare our own meals in terms of appliances, and cookware, and there were some condiments available as well. We even found 2 cold beer in the fridge- which we drank upon our arrival, and later replaced.

We used one of the pools, and sat on the beach for a day, and the kayaking and snorkelling were great. We saw lots of great sea life right off of the rocks at the end of the beach. We rented a car, and left the community for day trips, but there was enough to do right there if you didn't want to travel. The grocery store was fairly well stocked and there were a couple of restaurants and a cafe open. I would definitely recommend Eliisa's vacation home.

We have been here before and have yet to have a bad experience with the Loreto Bay Community. There is plenty to do or do nothing at all your choice.Our home this time was no exception, everything was up to par and the property manager came by first day of our stay to see if we needed anything. Will be going back as soon as possible.

We spent only a few days at this property in Loreto and wished it could have been longer. We arrived unprepared (without an address--our fault!), but the security office was incredibly helpful, going so far as to bring us to the casa. All of the workers were exceptionally friendly, as were other guests/residents. The casa is beautiful and very well maintained; most importantly, it was clean--everywhere. The kitchen is equipped with everything from toaster to blender and coffee/espresso makers. We enjoyed the lovely patio that is private in a courtyard-like setting; we didn't use the rooftop patio as it gets complete sun and is less private, but both patios are furnished with comfortable seating. Having two bathrooms, both with showers, was great. The beach is a short walk away and wasn't crowded, though it was quite windy when we were there. The village does have decent restaurants/cafes. We were glad to have rented a car (though that was an ordeal at the airport, despite having a reservation) so that we could explore Loreto and drive up the coast, but there are no other towns nearby to visit. This would be the only word of caution about Loreto: you are quite restricted in terms of things to do unless you're a golfer, and if the weather is windy, as is often the case, you're a bit stuck. The community seems to be largely made up of retirees and their guests, so don't expect to experience Mexican culture. This is a very pretty escape from reality.

Very charming 2 bedroom unit. Priced fairly and an economical choice for people on a budget. The unit is laid out nicely and in a good location. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean upon arrival.

Things to improve on are minor however in my opinion it's good to mention for the sake of a fruitful review.

1/ The tv is very old and could be upgraded

2/ basic cable with only 2 or 3 English channels

3/ the upstairs bedroom smells musty

4/ the cable was very slow and unreliable

5/ the water dispenser which is independent of the refrigerator is not cooled and when we change bottles we noticed small flies had gotten inside as it isn't a tight seal.

6/ the bbq hadn't be cleaned forever in the guts of the bbq so it flamed up right away (I took it apart and cleaned it.

These were all small issues for us not a big deal however maybe for some people it would not satisfy them. In conclusion, Eliisa was easy to deal with and accommodating and again her place was priced very fairly and I would recommend it to others.

We stayed a week in early June 2016 and have already booked for 2017.

First, this casita is located very well. Short walks to cafes, pools, general store and golf. It is right on the paseo, which makes it very convenient if you have a rental car. The casita is nicely appointed with everything you need for your stay, and the bed was very comfy. We had a great time, Loreto is very relaxing and I liked the golf course. Can't wait to get back in January!
