'Rapunzel's Tower' is a 1200 sq. ft., private Casita (guest house) with enchanting views of the turquoise sea and the rolling mountains of Los Barriles. 3 miles from town, it is the perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle of the States.

Each night you will drift off to sleep with the sound of the ocean, and in the morning you will wake up to spectacular sunrises.

A 4 minute walk down a magical, meandering arroyo path brings you to a tranquil beach with great snorkeling reefs, kayaking, wind-surfing, kite boarding and fishing.

The casita features dramatic high ceilings and arched windows. Smooth Saltillo tiles add Mexican charm and beauty.

The cozy bedroom and full bath are located on the third floor, and offer amazing views. Downstairs is the kitchen/living room, and the first floor features a huge garage.

Right out the front door is a family-sized stone hot tub! There is nothing better than relaxing in the stone bath at night with a cool drink while looking at the sea and the stars.

The two outdoor patios offer beautiful views of the sea of Cortez, and provide a great place for meals, basking in the sun, or just reading a book. Since we are located in the banana belt, the winter temperatures are much warmer than other areas of Los Barriles.

Kayakers, our secluded beach gives you a perfect starting point for your ocean adventures. Imagine beginning your day paddling among hundreds of beautiful Manta rays. Whale and dolphin sightings are also common and can provide kayakers with the thrill of a lifetime. Our kayaks are kept on the beach in front of the Casita.

Windsurfers, kite boarders, surfers and scuba divers: lessons and rental equipment are available. Standup paddle boards are also available at a local rental shop.

If you love pickle ball, we have beautiful new pickle ball courts about five minutes from our house. If you haven't tried pickle ball, we highly recommend it. It's great fun! Classes and equipment are available at reasonable prices.

If you’d like to play guitar, no need to bring your own, we provide a beautiful acoustic guitar.

Since we have been coming here for the last 30 years, we can direct you to our favorite beaches, mountain bike trails, fishing holes, snorkeling reefs, kayaking trips, private surf breaks, restaurants, and other secret spots. We love helping our guests have a great vacation!

Kite boarders: our Casita overlooks Turtle Cove, one of the least crowded kite boarding launches. This beach provides one of the few wave breaks in the area. North Beach, another popular kite boarding beach is located 5 minutes south.

Turtle Cove also features the best snorkeling reef in Los Barriles. You will see hundreds of tropical fish just a few yards from shore.

Fishermen! We know who the good skippers are, and can get you a discount on a boat. Excellent guide service is available for fly and surf casting fishermen.

If you would like to rent an ATV, we can recommend the best rental agency. For getting around town, and exploring, an ATV is all you really need. It's also just a lot of fun! One of our favorite adventures is an ATV trip to the waterfalls. Pack a picnic lunch and swim in the secluded pool, surrounded by beautiful rock formations. Most of the time you'll have the whole place to yourself.

If you're a fishermen, an ATV gives you a huge advantage in chasing down those rooster fish. Racing down the beach in pursuit of feeding game fish is an adrenaline producing experience!

You are welcome to help yourself to our bountiful fruit trees. Imagine fresh grapefruits, oranges, limes, papayas, and mangoes right outside your front door.

If you need more space for family and friends, Casa Turtle Cove is right next door, and will sleep up to 9.

If your family includes an infant, we can provide a crib, just let us know in advance.

Please let us know if you would like delicious Mexican meals prepared and delivered to your table. Just give us a couple of days notice.

Come relax and let your hair down in Rapunzel's Tower!

Promise only what you can deliver. Then, deliver more than you promise.

    Quaint, charming and tranquil. Renting a quad important, made for a lot of adventure and easy to drive to restaurants . We were able to drive to Tres Palmas pickleball resort right down the road and watch the championship matches. Quadding on the beach was fun and a led us to get closer to the Kite Boarding enthusiasts. It was a great time for us. John was especially helpful with any questions I had. .

    John and Camilla were welcoming, helpful, prompt on replies and super nice. There place had the most wonderful view of yhe ocean and sunrise and was only a very short walk to the beach. We definitely recommend going out in their kayaks - we saw whales and mobulas rays and lots of colorful fish! Highly recommend their place, but recommend renting a quad to make it easier to travel the short distance to Los Barriles

    This is a lovely self contained unit, on the outer edges of the community (quiet, and a short drive to town). Within walking distance of the beach. Great hosts

    The hosts were excellent! Went above & beyond, even offering to help when we got sick! The views did not disappoint and the 1 bedroom, with private bath and separate downstairs kitchen/sitting area was all appointed very BaJa style…. Which was perfect! Had everything you would want in a home away from home ?

    Unusual but very sweet 2-story casita. Sliding doors on both levels open out to views southeast over the Gulf; sunrises particularly gorgeous. Great base for exploring Baja Sur in multiple directions. A number of restaurants in town with tasty Mexican food. Overall a great find; helpful and friendly owners in adjacent home.

    This Casita was very clean and welcoming with huge widows that let in sea breezes and lots of light. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the outside tables and had breakfast outside everyday. The kayaks were taken to the beach so all we had to do was walk a short distance and hop in for a fun paddle around the bay. We enjoyed calm seas so paddled every morning. There is a beautiful coral reef right off shore where we saw lots of colorful fish from the kayaks.
