La Ribera, Baja California Sur
Casa Torotes is located on the sand of one of the most pristine beaches on the Sea of Cortez. The town of La Ribera and our beach, Playa Colorada, are still relatively off the beaten track and 2 hours from the bright lights of Cabo San Lucas. The serenity of the coastline is so captivating that time seems to slow down, and each day melts lazily into the one before. Casa Torotes can be many things: a multi-family retreat, a romantic getaway, or a fishing lodge for you and your friends. Our home is 10 minutes from Costas Palmas.
Our home can easily accommodate 3 families. We have 3 master suites with bathrooms, featuring double sinks and walk-in showers. There is also a 'dorm room' for overflow guests. Casa Torotes also features hand-painted walls, a laundry room, a large fully equipped modern kitchen, an outdoor barbecue, a spacious dining room with seating for 12, breakfast room, day room and living room. There are 2 fireplaces in the house, as well as an outdoor fireplace. A sunny courtyard and charming cantera stone fountain complete the picture in this delightful home. Extra housekeeping services and cooking can be arranged in advance
In Baja every day brings new opportunities and adventure is at your fingertips; this can include a trip to a once secret waterfall or hot springs in the mountains, kayaking or snorkeling off Punta Colorada or down at Cabo Pulmo, surfing at Todos Santos, or kite-surfing and windsurfing in Los Barriles. However, for many of our guests, the appeal of our home is simply enjoying life by the sea and doing nothing all day except taking a walk on the beach, soaking up the sun, floating in the sea and enjoying a good book.
For the fisherman, our home is situated on one of the most enviable locations on the Sea of Cortez; the famous Roosterfish Alley runs right out front! Every summer fishermen arrive from all over the world to take on the mighty Roosterfish, one of the most notorious fighters in the fish world. These fish are caught not only by boat, but also by fly casting from shore. Each morning the fishing fleets from Los Barriles and Rancho Leonero motor near our home to deep sea fishing locations off the coast to hunt marlin, dorado, tuna, wahoo, amberjack, grouper, snapper, triggerfish, pompano and more.
We have a wonderful house manager who can arrange meals, trips in the local area or fishing trips.
We built this home in 2000 and use it as an alternative family home and rent it out selectively to guests who share our sensibilities. There is no "owners closet". As an example we use the same dishwear and amenities as our guests.
It is a large (5,000 square foot) home. The open and shut fee of $250 reflects the fact that it takes 2 days for 2 local people to clean up after guests leave.
If you read our reviews, you will see that we have had 100% satisfaction ratings from all of our guests. Thank you, if this house meets your needs we'd look forward to sharing it with you.

Casa Torotes was perfect for our family of 9. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, not too far from the town of La Ribera. The house had EVERYTHING we needed. Charles & Erendida are the BEST! They were both very responsive & super helpful! We will definitely stay again!
The house and location are amazing. Charles was a great communicator thru the whole trip and everyone we dealt with through our stay was very friendly and eager to help us out. We came in a day after a hurricane and knew there might be some hiccups, but they were minor and it was an amazing trip.
The house was fabulous! It was beautiful, clean, spacious! We swam many times at the beach outside our backdoor! We saw fish, jumping rays and lots of birds. We couldn't have asked for anything better!
Great place
Thank you Charles for providing us with the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful home and amazing town! Eren was the best at answering all of our questions and making sure our stay was very comfortable!
The house and location are amazing. Even though we had bad weather, the house kept us cozy and comfortable. The architecture and decor were pure upscale Mexican and host and local contact when above and beyond.
This is a beautiful home in a stunning setting. The beach is your backyard. The home is tastefully decorated in the Mexican style and equipped with everything you need. There are great outdoor relaxing areas with hammocks, a courtyard with a fountain, and chaise lounges to sunbathe. So many many places to enjoy your morning coffee and evening margarita! For exercise you can run or walk up the beach both north and south or kayak, swim or beachcomb. The property manager speaks excellent English and can arrange for someone to cook meals, set up a fishing trip or assist in renting ATV’s. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions promptly. We visited with 3 generations (ages 7-74) and we all had a great time.
Really nice stay in La Ribera. Communication with owner was terrific. House manager was instantly responsive on What'sApp (very popular in MX) - she helped arrange taxi runs to the airport. House was clean. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Puzzles and games were used. Lot's of space. Beach right out the back door was wonderful for walks, sunbathing, etc. Courtyard was beautiful for the breezy days. La Ribera has many new places to eat that were excellent. Los Barriles only about 30 minutes away. Some VRBO properties can be very stuffy with many rules and regulations, this house has a very appealing casual vibe. Overall - great trip, will try and make it back.
We had an amazing beachfront (literally - it was right outside the door!) getaway at Casa Torotes. The home was beautifully and thoughtfully designed and appointed, and immaculately clean. We walked on the beach, played in the waves (it was a bit too windy to kayak and snorkel so we fully enjoyed the waves!), built sandcastles, rested in the hammock next to the fountain. Dinners were delivered to our group each night (thanks to Erindida and her sister), and we spent a spectacular day catching and eating fresh yellowtail with the crew at Buena Vida Sportfishing. We are already dreaming of a return visit!
Had a wonderful time at Casa Torotes! The location is AMAZING with a beautiful beach all to ourselves for the entire week. The water was calm and safe for our 3 small children. The house was impeccable and had everything we needed. If you want to escape...this is the place!
