Casa del Sol: Location Location! Beachfront/Walking Distance to Everything!
*In the middle of the action but above the fray!*
Casa del Sol is an ideal balance of privacy and access! This location is central for wind sports and other outdoor activities. The beach is down a dozen stairs from the patio gate; the property is just high enough off the beach for privacy from people walking by, yet you can see out over the action as much as you want, and enjoy panoramic views.
We offer one of the quaintest houses on one of the best beach access and launch sites.
*Entire First Floor* The main rental has two bedrooms and two baths and sleeps up to six adults. The front bedroom is roomy with handmade furniture including a king size bed, and has a private bathroom; the front room has open living and dining areas and a full kitchen. The second bedroom, next to a courtyard, is adjacent and has a separate entrance. There are two double beds, a small fridge, and a full bathroom. Air beds, cots, and baby gear are available for a nominal fee.
*Upstairs optional* We are now offering the upstairs as optional additional space, for a bargain rate of $175/night (plus the fees). It is a spacious studio apartment with high ceilings, lots of light, and stunning views. King-sized bed; loveseat and chairs; folding tables; kitchen with stove and fridge (no oven); spacious balcony with furniture and hammock. Ask about the upstairs if you're interested, with your booking inquiry. We have to edit the quote manually because vrbo doesn’t have a way to handle add-ons.
In order to maintain the private feel of the setting, we do not rent the upstairs separately. Sometimes the owners or family members might be staying there, and will respect your privacy and quiet.
*The Setting* Relax on the tiled patio under the shade of a traditional palapa roof, with outdoor dining furniture and sweeping vistas. Side yard with spacious open-air patio, coconut and fan palms, quintessential hammock between palms with a view of the bay, and outdoor furniture.
Shady and sheltered outdoor areas offer a break from sun and wind, and a cozy living room offers space for reading or games, all with stunning views of sea and mountains. Walking distance (via beach or small town roads) to fresh fish, restaurants and night life, small grocery. Paddleboards and kayaks included with rental, as well as a gas grill and snorkeling equipment. We can arrange many optional amenities such as at-home (indoor or outdoor) massage, fresh local catering or in-home cooking, private lessons, and help with planning other activities.
Casa del Sol has character, beauty, and everything you’re likely to need, including nearby property managers who spring into action if anything isn’t working properly. This is Baja, and we’re right by the water, so everything corrodes and wears out. The water pressure is adequate but not strong. We provide purified drinking water, and refills happen every day except Sunday when you put an empty bottle outside the gate. Some things are newly renovated, others are due for refurbishing or upgrades, but everything is in place! The king mattress is young and the double beds have fresh foam toppers. The upstairs king mattress is firm with a topper. The downstairs kitchen is new within the past four years. (photos not yet updated.) On-demand water heaters.
Local artisans have rebuilt the beach shed where you can store or prep gear, or sit in a sheltered spot with views. The palapa roof and upstairs patio roof are handcrafted with wood and palm leaves by the same local artisans. There is handmade Mexican saltillo tile and decorative tilework. Most of the furniture is handmade: some is from Guadalajara, some was made locally or on nearby ranches, and some is from a traveling artisan from Sonora.
Unique modern repurposed shipping container home. 250mb+ WiFi with Starlink backup. Lounge in a hammock or day bed on one deck or teak furniture w/ firepit on the other. Store gear in a large secure guest locker. Free use of SUPs and beach toys.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We will update our access instructions, and we're also looking at how to make it easier with a keybox and/or touchpad locks. Guests shouldn't have to start the water heater but sometimes the pilot blows out, and we can usually send someone to relight it right away so you don't have to. We're planning to switch to electric when we get solar panels installed!
Delighted that you found the beds "super comfortable!" That's always a good thing. We've worked on that over the years, swapping mattresses and adding toppers.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Casa del Sol!

Couldn't have been better!
Just got back to snowy and 17 degrees in Colorado, and missing Casa Del Sol. Sandy sent us a thorough PDF a week before we arrived, covering everything we'd need to know for our stay. The property was perfect for being close to everything, but far enough away that we had absolute privacy. Location is perfect, right on the beach, with plenty of space to pump up kites and launch from our own "private" area. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Kite surfing mecca
This is a fantastic location with a 5 star view. The patio is large and overlooks the beach and kite surfing area. The mini marts and restaurants are all within a 5 minute walk. Beds are super comfortable and there is lots of space for a family. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. Em and Kevin went out of their way to make our stay as easy as possible. They responded quickly to emails and went above and beyond to help us. Can’t wait to go back with the kids very soon!

We could not have been happier with our stay at Casa del Sol. The owner Em was fabulous to deal with and always answers our emails promptly. The house is great and in the perfect location for walking to restaurants. The outside patio is wonderful to get out of sun and wind while still watching the beach. Kevin and Angie the property managers go out of their way to ensure everything is fantastic for your stay and answer all emails no matter how small with lightning speed. On no wind days We enjoyed the paddle boards provided. Kiting is great right from your doorstep. We can’t wait to return next year! Muchas gracias

Great, once again!
Our third year staying at Casa Tara, and if we don’t own something down here by next year, there will be a forth. Our only previous issue was that the king bed wasn’t very comfortable, but this year not an issue. There’s a brand new mattress, which is perfect after a long day of kitesurfing. Thanks again Em!

Lovely house, very well equipped and the ability to step out onto the beach and swim or paddle board makes it a wonderful location. We bought freshly caught tuna from Cubana who lives about 3km away which we barbecued. Highly recommended.

Roaches. Run down. Too small. Foul beach.
I rent several VRBO's a year. I have never been so disappointed. This property has HUGE roaches. The beach is just aweful... the fishermen trim their catch about 2 houses away, so it is COVERED with rotting fish spines, and there are dozens of ugly vultures pooping everywhere while feasting on this stank buffet. The beach is also covered in cow excrement.
They put out used trial size toiletries. All of the furniture is cheap, old, and uncomfortable. It smells moldy. The towels look like they came from a thrift store... as does everything else. Neither the wifi, nor the phone worked at all. Everything on the property looks rundown & in need of repair. We booked 4 nights and left after 2

Great location, charming house - with Baja funk
Casa del Sol is in a beautiful location in the heart of La Ventana with picturesque views of the beach, sunsets were spectacular, perfect launch site for kiters, and a great place to SUP on those calm, glassy mornings. The best part of the house is the huge outdoor veranda with plenty of shade, a delightful hammock, and lots of places to read a good book and listen to the waves. The house had a collection of books and games that we enjoyed as well. The pictures make the house look bigger that it is - the living room, kitchen, dining area is probably 10 by 20 feet. The beds are really firm - bordering on hard and the electrical wiring is down right scary. What I don't understand are the reviews that talk about the hosts - when we arrived at 8:30 pm, the lady across the street came running over and said (in Spanish) that she hadn't been told that we were coming and the house wasn't clean yet. She quickly changed the sheets on the bed, emptied the garbage, and brought us clean towels. But there was no host. I did text someone when the internet wasn't working who came over and gave us completely different instructions for logging on- but I wouldn't exactly say he was a host. We had a great time, but seems like a high price for a charming but funky house. And "host" was non-existent.

Thank you for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed the location and the outdoor space, including the hammock and the shade :) and that you enjoyed the books and games. We like to make it nice and have interesting things for guests. We added foam toppers to the beds and are sorry to hear that they still seemed so firm. Since your stay, we have revamped the funky wiring. I don't know why anyone would put an outlet above the stove! Our local neighbors who look after the place are great and that's who rushed over--I'm sorry you experienced a last-minute scramble. We take this seriously and will work on our communication protocol to be sure the place is completely ready on time. We're so glad you had a great time! We like the handmade character of the place, and also want to keep the comfort and enjoyment at a high level, so are taking your feedback seriously and we aspire to continue with upgrades. When reivews have remarked about hosts, sometimes we have been there, and other times it's about our responsiveness in advance or other communication during their stay. Our neighbors across the street keep a close eye on the place, plus the property managers are nearby and on call. Our aim is to provide you with maximum autonomy and privacy with good service. Thanks again!

Love the location, hosts genuinely eager to please
We have stayed at this property twice in the last year (2016). For us it has the perfect location for walking to many restaurants, visiting our friends/neighbors, and launching both kites and windsurfers right out front. The house also has a good set up for our family (two mature teen sons in their own separate room with bathroom). The outdoor space overlooking the beach is fantastic, and the included SUPs and kayaks a bonus. Em and Sandy have been very helpful, accommodating, and generous in making sure our requests are fulfilled. They seem to genuinely desire that we are pleased. The local caretakers are knowledgeable and easily reachable to sort out any issues that may (do) arise. The property is clean and the view and outdoor space are priceless. We would be very happy to stay here again - and plan to. After two visits we feel like it is 'our' vacation home and we take no exception to its quirks - we roll with them...
That being said, this is not for those looking for luxury. It suits our needs well enough as we are quite easy going about the little imperfections and issues that arise. We are also attuned to and respectful of water conservation and septic system idiosyncrasies. Even so, the water ran out near the end of our stay. This was remedied within a few hours after a phone call to the local manager. The regulator for the propane stove stopped working as well, but again was quickly repaired. We just went out for lunch instead!
The home itself is getting quite dated and is starting to show wear. The grout is beginning to crumble, the concrete walls show water seepage in a few spots and the paint is flaking off, the under- sink cupboards are musty, the finish on the faucets and bathroom sinks are worn, and the appliances/ kitchen cabinets are old but functional. All cosmetic stuff so it doesn't deter us - being ocean front is harsh on a building.
The beds are quite firm and bordering on uncomfortable for my family's liking but the sheets and towels are all soft and of good quality. Nights were generally quiet, ignoring the occasional locals out cruising with their music blaring or roaming dogs barking. Earplugs help. Waking up to the spectacular sunsrise each morning is priceless.
I offer this review with a spirit of kindness: know what you are choosing and you will love it. There are many rental options available in this increasingly popular destination. Enjoy La Ventana, it is a special place.

pretty nice place overall
this place has a lot going for it, a beautiful location on the beach, huge windows that we opened to let in the ocean breeze and listen to the sound of the waves when we slept at night. The ktichens pretty well stocked, the king size bed is great , and the patio is the best feature of all. We kited while there and could basically rig right below our place. The owners were very accommodating, letting us put our luggage there before the 4pm check in time as we were stuck between places.
That said, It does have a bit of funkiness to it, its older and being a beach house, I guess thats to be expected but you can't tell from the pictures. We never used the 2nd bedroom, its separated from the rest of the house which is nice for privacy if you did have another couple there.

Everything you need and more!
Great place in a magical location! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Casa del Sol has everything you need and more and we loved the central location. Kevin and Angie were super responsive and easy to get a hold of when we had a concern - which was an easy fix. We were there a bit "after the season" and found many of the nearby restaurants and kite schools closed! Luckily we found Norm at Baja Surf (look for him at the campground based out of his RV)who was able to give us some lessons on the days when the wind came up - he was AMAZING and we felt like we really got a handle on the sport! Though we weren't able to take advantage of the restaurants that were in walking distance, those that were open in Los Cerritos (a quick drive) were great and the locals were warm and friendly. La Ventana is amazing and Casa del Sol is the perfect spot to take it all in!

Exactly what we needed!
Location, Location, Location. house was equipped with everything we needed for a great vacation. Comfortable beds, the basic supplies, and everything in working order with the rustic qualities you should expect in a older home in Baja...Pilot light blew out on water heater but was fixed within hours of reporting it to the caretakers, water stains on the very clean dishes...but unavoidable unless you you hand dry every dish...better dish towels, and an additional shot glass(s) would be my one suggestion. Thursday Farmers market was awesome...thats where we got the good Tequila that was good enough to sip- made us realize only one shot glass not enough. Other than that, which I consider SUPER minor details, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away, or learn to kite. Perfect loop (walk of pride) for learning.

Great view, location and amenities.
Casa del Sol turned out to be a great choice for us.It is a good looking place with a marvelous beachfront. It has a very comfortable clean house with a private second bedroom with a full bath and two double beds. My daughter and her boyfriend scouted La Ventana area for fishing spots and (which is what I was looking for) and water sports and we were not disappointed.
Since it is off season now we did some basic grocery shopping in Los Cabos after we landed. Tony's was the only small restaurant in the area and the food was quite good. We ate there two nights. He even prepared fish that we caught.
The enclosed patio and yard had a lovely hacienda appeal and offered great privacy. The internet was adequate enough.
Although they have fishing guides in La Ventana we opted to visit the Bay of Dreams where many boats and guides are available. Caught dorado and others but two rooster fish made the trip an extremely memorable one.
All in all, everything necessary was provided and we never had to contact the property managers for anything. A 10 page detailed guide was provided when we booked and turned out to be very helpful in providing direction to the house from the airport, all house provisions and functions, local activities and eateries.

Great Location - were some disappointments about the actual place.
The location can't be beat - this is beachfront and right where you want to be as far as we are concerned.
It's a bit of an odd layout but once we got used to it, it wasn't a big deal for us. (The second room with the two beds is not connected to the interior of the main suite with the kitchen and sitting room and master bedroom - it is a separate site off the back fo the house with it's own outside door. We were three adults so it didn't bother us, but if we had arrived with kids I think this would have made me quite nervous)
The two biggest issues we had were:
1. We had to wash all the dishes, knives, glasses, pots and pans, stove and counters before we could use any of them. Everything was very grimy.
2. I had specifically asked if the wireless connection was good before I booked as two of us would have to work a few hours a day and was told by the owners "it was great". When we got there and it was practically non-existent I called their local property managers to see if the router needed to be rebooted to be told that the internet was terrible, it was all over La Ventana and had been for ages (wireless had been oversold - no solution in sight) and rebooting the router wouldn't do any good. If we had been told this before we arrived we could have made different choices as to what projects we had planned on working on while there.
There were a few other details around our stay that weren't awesome but it's a small town in Mexico and we weren't expecting luxury or perfection. This could be a great place with a bit more attention to detail.

Owner response: We work hard to make the place welcoming, pleasant, and comfortable for our visitors.
We’re not sure why the internet connectivity issue was a surprise to you, as we didn’t say it was “great.” What the VRBO correspondence record shows is that we said: "we have consistent connection and a new wireless router that gives a strong signal. But the internet connection becomes very slow throughout La Ventana/El Sargento when there is high traffic volume because the bandwidth to the whole area is limited. The speeds are better when there isn't as much traffic. I have found early morning (roughly before 10 am) to be best. When Em and I have done webinars from Casa del Sol both the audio and the visual presentations have been fine but streaming video wasn't practical."
Re the layout, we're glad that the separate entrances were not an issue for you. The arrangement of the two spaces works well for many people, including those with teenagers or who stay in the same room with their kids, as well as multiple adults. It is an important detail, so we do describe the layout on the homepage of our VRBO site: "Front room with bedroom, open living/dining areas, and full kitchen. Second room next to courtyard, with two double beds, private entrance, and full bath."
We agree that finding dishes that looked dirty would be unnerving! In this desert climate 50 ft from the ocean, there are very high mineral salts in the water. The stove & sink are permanently stained with rust & when the dishes dry, they look foggy or unclean. No amount of washing will remove those mineral deposits unless you use specially filtered water. One can wipe them away with a clean dishtowel, but it is more sanitary for dishes to air dry. Since you were in touch with us about other things while you were there, we were surprised to first learn of this issue in your written review. Had we known we could have assured you in addition to washing all dirty dishes between guests, we check the dishes and appliances in every cupboard to make sure everything is super clean. We don’t want you to rely on the previous guest’s standard of clean; we want you to rely on ours.
The letter we sent before your stay & that awaited you on the kitchen table says in bold twice “Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, attractive and functional home base for your vacation. If you arrive and anything is not right, or if you have any questions, please advise Angie or Kevin, our property managers, immediately.”

Private paradise in central Ventana
My wife and I were looking for the perfect combination of privacy and excellent beach access for kiting and we found it here at Casa Del Sol. This property is in close proximity to all amenities La Ventana has to offer. The house and patio are steps from the sand, as well as where you set up and launch your kite. The property is high enough above the sand to give you complete privacy, but still with the feeling of being right on the beach. The completely gated yard with expansive patio was serene and beautiful.
The owner was in the studio upstairs and was very respectful of our privacy. She also spent great time preparing the "user guide" for the house as it answered most questions prior to use having to ask.
We definitely will be repeat visitors.

Great property
We booked Casa del Sol and it was everything plus more in the listing. the managers, Chris and Angie were great to deal with, the booking with Chris and onsite with Angie. Fanatastic location between Baja Joes and Playa Central, Great mini supper for most things you need across the street. Bars, Resturants all walking distance. The suite was clean and very well equipped from the kitchen to the paddleboards and kayaks. Purified water just shows up before you run out. The beach in front is sandy and a great place to launch your kite from. The owner and her dog were onsite and were great. If you like great sunrises and having a great location on the beach this is the place. there are at least 4 kite schools with in 5 minutes walk on the beach but I will plug Kite Surfing Planet as they have been teaching my wife and are great. They have a new Boston Whaler and you might get 2 instructors for the price of one. Super patient and fun to hang out with. We will definetley stay here again, even if you are not a kiteboarder or windsurfer this property has it all!

I first came to La Ventana for a windsurfing clinic, but broke my foot three days beforehand so I didn't windsurf much (I did try a little, though!) and I had lots of time to limp around with my boot and my walking poles and explore the area. Needless to say, the beauty and tranquility as well as the soft sand and delightful water called to me.
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
This is a sweet place bordered by unassuming stucco walls with just the right amount of privacy. At first I wanted to open it all up, but after spending some time there I realized that it had been brilliantly designed for privacy and quiet, while maintaining the outstanding vistas and the ability to gaze at the beach and activity.
Built by a Mexican engineer and his architect/artist daughter when they lived in La Paz, it looks simple yet a lot of thought has gone into making the space flow. Handsome and functional, it is not full of slick modern design, but rather fitting to its roots in a small fishing village.
We've updated it over the years, adding features and space, gradually refurbishing some of the original materials that are worn, and retaining original touches such as the handmade floor tile.
The lot extends from the town's dirt road all the way to the beach. There is a neighbor's house on the North, not lived in much of the time, and on the South there is an acceso, a rudimentary dirt road to the beach for public access. The acceso creates space between Casa del Sol and the next building to the South.
The acceso is traveled by kiters and villagers. Local fishers mostly use the new public ramp 100 meters north.
In November-February, Sylvano comes by in his truck three times a week with produce, fresh-squeezed juice, and homemade tamales. The Thursday morning Farmers' Market is within walking distance, bustling with raw and prepared food and crafts. A local tortillería offers fresh warm tortillas in the mornings (until they sell out). Within walking distance of several restaurants and taquerias.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
By special arrangement, you can now rent the entire Casa! People have been asking about the upstairs. Fantastic open space with views all around. See the sunrise or the full moon from bed!
With three private entrances and large common area, your group can have any combination of shared and private space. Sleeps 8 or more, plus youngsters and even babies. (Our grandkid came here at 2 months old!)
