Beautiful Casita Tortuga! Beach Front; Steps from the Sea of Cortez!!

This is an amazing cottage that is perfect for couples who would like to kick back and relax, only a stone’s throw from the amazing Sea of Cortez! Of course, when you’re ready to move from the beautiful veranda, there is a long list of water and land sports and activities that you’re likely to find will make the days go by far too quickly!
Among those amenities that this seaside casita has to offer include a living room, complete kitchen, spacious bathroom, separate bedroom with king bed, washing machine, complimentary wifi, and satellite-TV!
Also, of more interest to some than to others, we realize, the gardens are professionally landscaped and regularly maintained. We have one 2-person kayak and two 1-person kayaks available for guest use.
There are few places in the world where the mountains meet the water in perfect harmony, as they do here. Situated on a beautifully pristine, natural turtle nesting beach cove, this beach front home is situated in what many consider to be the most desirable neighborhood in Los Barriles.
Enjoy the brilliant Sea of Cortez sunrises and the amazing sunsets; relax as you barbeque and dine on your spacious veranda, under the star filled skies; and just feel the calm as you unwind from the hectic pace that you’ve left behind. You’ll marvel at the sight and sounds of breaching whales and the sting rays jumping out of the water to fly through the air; then “belly flopping” back into the water.
Kite boarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, and snorkeling on a coral reef in safe, swimmable water is all within steps of your home. If your preference is to be on dry land, there are amazing hiking and biking trails nearby, ATV’s are available for rent in town, along with yoga and a new and well- equipped gym, to mention only some of the fun things that you can do. And, located about 1 ½ miles from Casita Tortuga is one of the very top attractions in the Baja, the new, world-class Tres Palapas Baja Pickleball Resort, featuring 10 excellent courts, with amazing amenities that includes a café and smoothie bar, a restaurant and rooftop bar.
A 45-minute drive north from the San Jose del Cabo airport gets you to the entrance of the Los Barriles, the quaint little town that is home to about 5,000 people; approximately ½ locals and ½ expatriates. Casa Tortuga is situated a little over 3 miles north of the center of town and is an easy ride to pick up fresh fruit & vegetables, grocery and beverage needs, and, a good variety of restaurants serving quality, delicious food.
Please note that the property is not suitable for those with small children, given the proximity to the Sea of Cortez, coupled with the fact that there are some stairs on the property and the balconies have low or no railings. Please note, also, that this is a non-smoking property.
We look forward to welcoming you to Casita Tortuga!
Brian & Lucy Williams

    It's really cool to be so close to the surf but if you don't like that you might not like it here. Oh, Pickleball is very close and very fun. We loved it and felt the owners were very kind, attentive and helpful. Thank you Brian and Lucy

    The casa is beautiful overlooking the sea (you are very close to water)... It is very calm and relaxing... There are few restaurants in the sector... You need a SUV or equivalent car to circulate in the area...

    We had a wonderful stay at Casita Tortuga! Brian and Lucy are great hosts! They were responsive to our needs and gave us suggestions to make our adventures better. The Casita is beautiful - located right on the beach with an amazing view from the wall of windows facing the ocean. It's the perfect getaway for 2 people. Sunrises and moonrises were amazing. The Casita is vey well equipped with whatever you need for cooking and dining, and Los Barilles is just a few minutes away for plenty of dining options. Snorkeling to the north is excellent. Definitely recommend renting an ATV for at least some of the time you are here - there's a wonderfully scenic road that parallels the ocean for miles and it's a great drive, with snorkeling spots and places to eat as you head north.

    Casa Tortuga was the perfect stay for my husband and I. The location and views were ideal. Very tranquil area. The water is right outside your door. The water is so calm you can easily kayak all around. If you’re looking for quiet and slightly removed from the town this is perfect. The owners were wonderful and gave us great recommendations for things to do. Can’t wait to return.

    Brian and Lucy, thank you so much for being such lovely/generous hosts and for sharing your beautiful beachside casita with us! In all our years of traveling, Casita Tortuga is definitely our favorite spot! The casita was spotlessly clean, perfectly equipped, and has the most gorgeous views of the Sea of Cortez. It is the perfect destination for a couple looking to get away from the busy crowds of Cabo San Lucas to relax and a prime location for exploring the many beauties and hidden beaches located on the East Cape. We thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise each morning from the front porch along with the sights and sounds of watching the mobula rays jump, twist, turn, flip, and flop atop the bay each day. We were even lucky enough to watch a humpback whale one morning just offshore as it repeatedly slapped the water with its large flippers. The kayaks were a perfect complement for exploring the crystal-clear waters and paddling out along the shore was definitely one of the highlights from our trip. Unfortunately, the days went by way too fast, and now we’re left dreaming of when we can come back for another visit.

    Casita Tortuga is a charming, classy place for a couple to take in all that the Sea of Cortez has to offer just outside of Los Barriles.It's right on the water -- making it easy to enjoy the jubilant mobula rays, breaching humpback whales, sea birds, sunrise, and stars. It's also a great place from which to snorkel and kayak. For people who enjoy birding, as we do, you will appreciate that the well kept gardens and fruit trees attract a range of non-sea birds too.The hosts are responsive both before and during the stay. Our check in and check out went seamlessly.I really appreciate that the Casita is available for couples looking to rent a private place. Most VRBO homes are appropriate for 4 people, so you end up paying for empty space.We like to cook with fresh local ingredients, and appreciated that the kitchen is well stocked. I'd recommend Casita Tortuga to anyone looking for a special trip to the Gulf of California.

    Gorgeous place to get away from it all, and we loved the kayaks! Definitely bring water shoes for the rocky shoreline. A/C in the bedroom works great, but be prepared to acclimate to the heat and enjoy the ocean breeze. A fan for the house or patio would be be a nice addition, but otherwise everything was wonderful! Jonatan, the property manager was super responsive and helpful, and we loved having the kitchen and grill to cook and enjoy meals to the sounds of the waves.
