From our first sight of Laura and Steve’s casita, we fell in love! The casita is beside their casa and both houses are located just steps from the beach and the Sea of Cortez. The casita is well appointed with a kitchen, dining area, living room combined and a large, very comfortable bedroom with a connected bathroom! The Sea of Cortez filled our view from every window! The sea was warm and full of jumping fish; and the air full of pelicans, terns, gulls and osprey.
While all of the houses in the Campo (the beach side residential area where the casa and casita are located) are off the grid, everyone has solar panels and backup generators. In the casita, we had ceiling fans, lamps, ceiling lights, a fridge, stove, air conditioning unit, sufficient for comfortable living. We chose to stay a month in June. The second 2 weeks were very hot! To cool the entire casita, we would suggest a second a.c. unit in the living room/ kitchen area. Except in the summer months, having the large windows open and the occasional fan going is sufficient.
Our hosts were helpful and extremely responsive. Both of them had many suggestions for restaurants, interesting places to go, good shopping, etc. We learned a great deal about the area from them. We hope to return someday.
