About this property

Beachfront compound built for relaxation and adventure with family and friends

Set on one and a half acres of beachfront dunes, the Casa Duna compound is a self-contained oasis. Arranged around two beautiful buildings with guest rooms, two spacious palapas, two swimming pools, over 6,000 sq. feet of patios and shaded outdoor space, and extensive native cactus and palm gardens, the property allows for private immersion in one of the world’s great and near-unique environments: the east cape of Baja California Sur. Nestled at the southern tip of the friendly and laid-back fishing village of La Ventana, Casa Duna is built for relaxation and adventure with family and friends. In addition to the main house, which comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 2 children, the property includes Casa Pitaya, a detached and private casita to accommodate 2 more adults and up to 4 children. The entire compound enjoys spectacular seafront, the best beach in the area, and mountain and island views, almost from every room. It is not unreasonable to say that it is the finest oceanfront property in the area.

Whether you come to relax or kite, SUP or bike, swim or fish or dive or birdwatch, explore or meditate, Casa Duna is the perfect place to do it all. We welcome you to learn more about Casa Duna below, and hope you get the chance to stay as our special guests soon.

La Ventena retreat
We stayed for a week for our family's spring break trip with three generations. The home is very well done and Chris is very responsive (literally 10 minutes from an email to him). The home is set up well for three couples, the fourth bedroom is a trundle bed through another bedroom with a shared bath. This is one of the nicest appointed homes we have found in Baja.

Beautiful
Our family travels quite a bit. Teen daughters, older parents, my husband and I. We like to adventure...but also spend time getting to know each other better through eating well, playing games, talking, sharing our latest book. Casa Duna was absolutely divine in all the right ways. We made fish tacos in the beautiful kitchen, ate on the patio, swam in the sheltered pool in the windy afternoon, fell asleep in the gorgeous bedrooms staring at the moonrise and hearing the gentle surf. We decided upon arrival we would sit in every single possible spot to absorb each view and talk. We were successful. We snorkeled, paddleboarded, walked on the endless beach, sifted different sizes of sand, played scrabble, listened to Jazz on the sound system, mountain biked through the cactus. Endless. This house is sophisticated. The interior design is gorgeous, the architecture perfect. Nothing overdone. Only done perfectly well. We will definitely come back.

No need to overthink this - Casa Duna lives up to all the reviews. First class in every respect. This area is beautiful and if you like to avoid the tourist traps, then this is the place for you. Both Chris and Ramon make things so smooth and easy. Glad I took the advise of other reviewers and treated ourselves to chef Ramon's amazing culinary skills for multiple nights.

Ultra Lux Vacation Home in Paradise. Best. Vacation. Ever. Period. Already reserved for next year!
Third year in a row at Casa Duna, already reserving for next year with my family. Words don't really do the experience justice. Everything is sublime. Pools, views, SUPing, seakayaking, biking through cactus, kiteboarding (clearly) -- and this year added the most amazing 6-course meal prepared by world-class chef Ramon (amazing pineapple guacamole, mouth-watering shrimp ceviche, scrumptious tortilla soup, delicious fresh tomato and cotija cheese salad, locally caught fish with homemade red mole, and fresh baked bread pudding muffin with caramel sauce....to die for! Worth reserving meals if available! Everything about La Ventana is relaxing - and Casa Duna is clearly the nicest and most luxurious place in town. Highly recommend if you can afford it.

Best ever!
We loved Casa Duna. It was the best place any of my friends and I have ever stayed. The house and property are 5 star with attention to every detail. Chris, the property manager was great, making us feel welcome and helping out with any questions or needs. Ramon cooked for us and was masterful in the kitchen!.To top it off the El Nortes were blowing so the kiting was amazing. We enjoyed live music ar Baja Joes along with their great selection of microbrew beers, and of course shrimp filled chile rellanoes at Pablos. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Diana Ryan

Host profile image
We built Casa Duna for our own large family to enjoy, and are thrilled to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Designed by LA-based architectural firm Shubin Donaldson, Casa Duna was built to pay respect to the fragile ecosystem around it: primary structures are built from highly efficient recycled materials, solar panels provide both power and hot water, and the lush gardens are irrigated by waste-water. In addition to breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez and Jacques Cousteau Island (Cerralvo) , and miles of unspoiled beaches, it’s just a 15 minute walk along the sand to the center of town. There, and even in the immediate neighborhood, you’ll find casual and inexpensive restaurants with the freshest of seafood, simple and friendly bars, and even a few small spas.

Things To Do
During your stay at Casa Duna, we invite you to enjoy its incredible and awe-inspiring surroundings. While yoga on the beach and relaxing with a book on the roof observatory are family favorites, La Ventana is also a major hub for adventure. In addition to being one of the top kite-sports destinations on the planet, the area plays host to world-class fishing, mountain biking, and scuba diving. So, whether you want to swim with whale sharks or sea lions, or learn to hydrofoil, let Casa Duna be your private gateway to unforgettable adventure and unparalleled relaxation - there is nothing quite like it anywhere.

Amenities
We built Casa Duna for everyone, and have incorporated as many comforts as possible. At the same time, Casa Duna was designed to respect both the local village and the unique natural beauty of the area. Amongst many other amenities, the property features outdoor sleeping patios for starlight snoozes, a chef-inspired gourmet kitchen complementing an outdoor grill and wood-burning pizza oven, large air-conditioned living areas - although you are likely to prefer the sea breeze, a rooftop observatory, a small gym, a fully wireless A/V system with highspeed WiFi, and more.

What makes this property unique

Local Expertise
Our resident property manager is happy to arrange anything that you require to make your stay extra special. Common requests include private kite lessons, airport pickup in Los Cabos, on-site massages, yoga lessons on the patio, fishing expeditions, a private chef, and much more.

Our family has been coming to La Ventana for over 15 years, and we are happy to organize or provide suggestions for wonderful day trips you may want to make - to nearby La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur - to El Triunfo and its mining museum - to Todos Santos for art galleries and Pacific surfing - to Cerralvo island for exploring - or to the countless other beautiful places in the region.
