Description from owner

Description

Revive your spirit. For the traveler who wishes to get away from the tourist hubs, wants a break from the traditional motel room, but still enjoys simple, comfortable amenities at an affordable price, Casitas de Cortez, located in Spa Buena Vista, BCS, are hard to beat. These casitas are located 45 miles north of Cabo San Lucas on the beautiful Sea of Cortez with direct access to literally miles of white sandy beach. Casita Vista is one of three casitas on the property available for rent. Check out Casita Luna and Casita Sierra for other options. These unique casitas are round, one-room studio-type cottages with palapa roofs. Each casita includes a private shower, private bathroom, kitchenette and private hot springs hot tub outside the casita.

The nearby town of Los Barriles has all the necessities: a nice variety of restaurants, grocery stores, a bank, ATMs, sport rental companies and plenty of shopping options. But, fishing, windsurfing, hiking, snorkeling, beach walking, mountain biking or just plain relaxing are what life is about in Spa Buena Vista.

Each unique thatched-roof casita is complete with a shower, toilet, sink, mini fridge, coffee maker, two-burner propane stove top, wireless internet, comfortable beds and an outdoor soaking tub (filled by a natural hot spring). The casitas have great views of the Sea of Cortez and and it is an easy 2 minute stroll to an endless white sand beach. You can even walk the beach into Los Barriles if you are up to a 7 miles round trip hike. The surrounding residential neighborhood is quiet, safe and relaxing. All the water for the community comes from a natural underground hot spring. The water system is turned on at 8 AM and turned off at 6 PM. During the down time water is gravity fed from tower mounted "tanakas." If you like salt water fishing, some of the best is right at your doorstep. During the winter, some of the world's finest windsurfing is a kite board away.

WHEN TO COME: It's all good, but near perfect weather can best be found March to June, and mid-October to December. July through September has some of the best fishing, but these are the hottest months. You'll want to put ice in your soaking tub to cool off in the evening. Mid-December to March are the windy months, drawing windsurfers and kite boarders to the area. Sunny with highs in the mid 70's and lows of 60. Evenings may require a sweatshirt in these "winter" months. But, no matter when you come there is something for everyone and the days are almost always bright and sunny.

So, check out Casita Vista (part of the Casitas de Cortez property), soak in your private spa water tub, enjoy a piece of unspoiled paradise, and plan an unforgettable vacation. Unique, simple, comfortable and affordable - an unbeatable combination.

NOTE: Even if the calendar says "unavailable," send us an inquiry anyway.

Getting around

You can arrange for a taxi from the Los Cabos airport to Buena Vista. I can provide taxi information of two local companies that have proven reliable. Cost about $80 door to door in newer 8 passenger vans. But you might find a rental car to be more convenient if you plan to explore the area. Most rental car companies have offices at the airport.

Interaction with guest

Contact me at any time with questions. I am usually onsite, but if I'm not, I'm available via phone, email, text and Whatsapp as needed. I also have a professional management company who manages the property when I'm not there.
