Casita Tortuga is a Beach Front over looking the Sea of Cortes.

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!

Beautiful, quiet spot by the sea
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.

What a find!
I can’t wait to go back! We had a wedding in Cabo and because of the distance I decided to make a vacation of it and wanted to go beyond the typical resort area of Cabo/San Jose. Los Barriles is a wonderful little town that is still small, but has all amenities you’ll need. Swimming in the bay is absolutely lovely, but besides goggles you must have water shoes. I’m not a wuss, but there are soooo many rocks to walk across before getting in the water that it’s almost impossible without shoes. The casita is very comfortable and great hosts! I usually travel with my Vitamix for juicing and smoothies, but no need as they have a solid blender and most everything you’ll need to cook your meals. A fantastic spot for sunning and for a reset!

Our first time in the Los Barriles area and this was the perfect spot. Just right for a couple who loves a private spot with a gorgeous water view, sunrises over the water, and everything you need to explore the area and relax. Very comfortable and clean, lovely generous hosts!

Casita Tortuga review
We really loved meeting owners Brian and Lucy and staying in their beautiful house. The sunrises were breathtaking! The house and grounds were spotless and well maintained. The views from the porch are stunning. We will definitely be staying here the next time we visit the area. The ATV rental place was close to the house. We loved seeing the goats and cows that wander around!

Loved Our Stay!!!
We have stayed in many VRBO rentals over the years and the Casita Tortuga is our very favorite! The 10 days we spent there was so relaxing and it went by way too fast. We really enjoyed meeting Lucy & Brian!! They were so helpful and made us feel very welcome! Thanks for sharing your beautiful casita with us; we hope to be back soon. From the moment we stepped foot in the casita, we knew it was going to be a great vacation. It was so comfortable and relaxing. We loved the time we spent on the beautiful lanai watching the waves roll in and looking for the whales to breach. The Casita Tortuga was perfect!!!

Casita Tortuga is an absolute paradise. Pristine setting. Very well equipped and easily accessible. Provides peace and comfort with incredible views. Our host Lucy and Brian are gracious, thoughtful and considerate to every detail. We shared our expectations and they covered off every desire. The sunrise kayak trips where a perfect start to every day. Thank you. Hasta luego

Just Beautiful
There's lots of adventure to be had nearby, but honestly just sitting on the porch and watching the ocean & wildlife can't be beat. Brian & Lucy were super communicative and helpful, the kayaks out front were fun, the bed is comfy, and all the windows have screens -- just perfect for our 5-night trip. Two things that are good to know at the front of the stay: 1. They do recycle, but not glass (so choose accordingly when making beer shopping selections). 2. There's a reverse osmosis water filter at the sink, safe for drinking. All-in a fabulous place to stay.

A little bit of Paradise!!
One of the most amazing rentals we have stayed in. Our little cottage with a large sliding door opened up directly onto the Sea Of Cortez. The sunrises were gorgeous. We even seen a whale from our front porch! The house was well stocked and very neat and clean. Brian and Lucy were amazing hosts. We would definitely go back again!

Wonderful
My wife and I stayed at Casita Tortuga for a week, and we loved it. It’s right on the beach and we loved sleeping to the sound of the waves. Also, the place is very clean with all the amenities, and the wifi/bandwidth was very good especially for Mexico. The location is about a 5-10 min drive from town, so we rented an ATV to get around, and I highly recommend having a vehicle. Finally, the fishing/snorkeling right in front of the house was excellent. Pretty cool reef right in front of the casita to checkout either swimming or by kayak. We took a kayak out that the owners (Brian/Lucy) provide for their guests, and it was so fun. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks Brian and Lucy!

Perfect couples retreat!
This place was absolutely outstanding and we couldn't have asked for better hosts than both Brian and Lucy! The view of the sun rising over the Sea of Cortez every morning was spectacular. Very nice, clean and well equipped casita made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The shore fishing was very, very good and I caught several nice triggerfish and cabrilla for fresh ceviche and fish tacos along with a decent jack crevalle which I released. Use a drop shot rig, with a 1-2 ounce weight along with a 4 inch Berkley Gulp Swimming Mullet Grub in Nuclear Chicken on a very small stout hook (#1 or #2) and you're good to go!!

Casita on the beach
We stayed in Los Barriles for 6 nights to enjoy the small town and play lots of pickleball. The casita was perfect! One bedroom on the beach with everything we wanted and needed, patio on the beach, full kitchen and washer and dryer. The location was great, quiet area and just a short drive to town.

Cute Awesome Oceanfront Property
We absolutely loved this casita! The water is literally right in front of your patio door with unobstructed views. The place is fairly new, clean, well maintained and well stocked with necessities and appliances. The communication with the owners was fantastic. They are very knowledgeable about the area. We even got to meet them in person. They were maintaining the property alongside their hired work crews. Wonderful people! This is property is for responsible adults. There are steep wall drop offs to the beach that are not appropriate for young kids. Similarly, if you have difficulty with hills and steps, this might not suit you. Bottom line, a cute, clean, well equipped casita with awesome views that is ideal for a couple that can handle steep inclines.

Greater than 5 stars.
Wonderful stay! We had a excellent stay enjoying the flights of the pelicans and frigates, watching the whales passing through, and the vivid stars at night. The yard/garden area was beautifully manicured. So helpful to have a washer and dryer on site. The setting couldn’t be better with the ocean right outside our front door. It’s so relaxing to sleep to the lull of waves! Brian and Lucy were wonderful at helping us out with a few details that we needed. We are so appreciative of these hosts who went out of their way. If We could give more than 5 stars, we would!
