About this property

Location! Location! Steps to the Pool & Across from the Beach

Location! location! On the side entry road for easy access and parking. On the community pool for fun and sun. Around the corner from the Inn for amenties such as two pools, two restaurants, beach access and a gym. Half a block to the local store for last minute groceries. Two minute walk to the community center and security office (open 24/7). Three minute walk to the golf course.
Our Casa is wonderful and welcoming, casual and comfortable, authentic and affordable. Just to describe it a bit – enter into the indoor patio with garden and fountain - from there you open French doors into the living area with two leather couches, an entertainment center, dining for six and a fully equipped kitchen - this opens to the outdoor patio with fountain, garden and a seating area for outdoor relaxing or eating – from there you walk out to the community pool/Jacuzzi – also, on the first floor is a bedroom with a queen bed and TV, and separate bathroom with its own step in shower - going back to the entry you go up the stairs to the very private second floor - this roof top terrace has a covered pergola with a barbeque and eating area – the French doors open into the master bedroom with a king bed, TV and bathroom with a large soaking tub, Mexican tiled dual sink vanity and step in shower – the spiral staircase leads to the viewing tower with a view of the Sea of Cortes and the Sierra de La Gigante Mountains range.
Loreto, Mexico, is a quaint historic fishing community on the eastern coast of Baja California Sur, along three miles of pristine Baja beach front. Loreto Bay, five miles south of town and three miles from the airport, is home to hundreds of species of tropical sea life, with several species of whale. Jacques Cousteau referred to it as the aquarium of the world.
Activities are endless – take a short Ponga boat ride to visit the Isle Coronado, with it's pristine water, and white sandy beaches or Isle Carmen, known for it's abundant sea life – go sport fishing with one of the locals for Marlin, Mahi-Mahi, Dorado, and Yellow-Fin – during spawning season you may see the whales – if fishing is not your thing, then you can always snorkel, kayak, or enjoy shelling – golf on the championship course or play a little tennis – visit town with its cobbled streets, historic Mission, funky shops and great affordable dining - or my favorite, enjoy a walk through the charming neighborhoods where each villa and garden is unique.

Great for families with kids

Very nice apartment, steps to the pool. Very walkable area too. Nopolo is like a little gringo oasis and feels like you could be anywhere but it’s very tastefully done with all the pedestrian alegs and landscaping. Perfect for a 2 night stay at the end of our trip.

BE ADVISED. First of all, The property is about 20 minutes away from Loreto. Orbitz, incorrectly shows this property to be located in downtown Loteto, it is not. Besides that, If you’re looking for REAL Mexico, this place is not it. It IS a beautiful, safe and clean place, but it is just a huge American development, exactly like any other culture-appropriated development in the states. Anybody wanting to experience real Mexico, local food, fishing, etc this place is not for you. IF you are looking for an eerie quiet, sanitized clean, fake mexico, ultra manicured place with absolutely nothing to do… then this is exactly it. The host took a while to respond to my messages, no real time communication, at all. The place looked like it hasn’t been occupied in months. The AC in the master did not work, to what the owner said, “it worked before” We were given an access code and pretty much left to figure everything out… We ended up staying only one night out of the four I paid for. We moved to downtown Loreto to a great little hotel half a block from the Mission and a block from the beach. It was awesome. That one night ended up costing me over $600, but he was worth it to get out of there and go stay in ACTUAL Loreto… I will not be coming back to this place.

Lovely Casa with multiple courtyards to enjoy

Overall I enjoyed my stay and as my 3rd visit to Founders I still am blown away by the magnificant gardens and loved walking the paths everyday as always a new flower or cactus at every turn here. The Casa was spacious and met all my needs in the way of comfort. I would like to suggest adding a couple of lounge chairs to the 2nd floor as the pool area was busy and sometimes noisy with teens shouting/running around. Enjoyed early swims and the cheerful birds singing in the morning as they won me over and I decided to start each day watching them while having coffee. Shame the fountain didn't work as a nice feature. Had trouble finding the modum with internet password & day 3 had management agent come to show me the location. I enjoyed the stay here and would love to return next year with family. Thank you Monie & Bernie

April Stay

As advertised. As mentioned in other reviews, the condo is on the main road into the property so can be abit noisy which is only really bothersome in the AM. Also bring ear plugs and eye patch for sleeping as the birds start around 6AM and there are no black out blinds in the Master bedroom (even normal blinds would reduce the sun first thing in the AM). Lacking BBQ utensils, but enough other kitchen items to make do. Dishwasher needs to be addressed as we had to check / clean again most items after each wash. Fountain wasnt working and wasnt fixed during the week, disappointing as a nice feature. Those are just the "being honest with feedback" items. We enjoyed the unique layout and proximity to major amenities. Hardly used the AC as comfortable to sleep at night and open doors worked during day. We would consider staying here again. Thanks

Perfect!!

This place is PERFECT. Clean, location, views, quiet and we have already rebooked for next year. There's plenty of room for 6 even though it was only 2 of us this time. We will return with family next time. Pool is directly behind the unit and it's tame, no partying, seems everyone here is on the same page. This is not Cabo.

Beautiful architecture and amenities

Loretto Bay development is very aesthetically pleasing in terms of the architecture and landscaping. This rental is very nicely appointed and in a central location. The hosts are very easy to communicate with and accommodating. It was enjoyable to walk on the beach and around the golf course close to Juncalito Beach. Also great food at Vista Del Mar clam shack just sourh on the beach.

Beautiful Loreto

It was our 3rd time in Loreto Founders Neighborhood and our 3rd rental. This time we brought our dog and very grateful this rental allowed pets. The location is perfect if you like to be near a pool - just open the gate and voila the pool! It is a bit loud all day with children having fun, so if you want a quiet space this would not be the best spot for you. Being close to the road has its pros and cons too -- so convenient and very easy to load and unload your car but you do hear the road noise from the highway throughout the night. The home is lovely and our favorite spot was the courtyard in the morning drinking our coffee. The birds are so enjoyable to listen to and watch them fly from tree to tree. We were disappointed that the fountains were not operating. The gardener tried to fix but for the 4 weeks we stayed we did not have the fountain operating. Also, for a month long stay a few more towels and kitchen utensils would have been great. My only other suggestion would be to add a cozy outdoor seating area. All of the seating outside was table and chairs -- a few lounge chairs or a couch would have been a great addition. The walkability of the area and the beauty of the neighborhood is worth returning for again and again -- Thank you for opening your home to us!

Poolside Get-away

Great location just steps to pool, lovely back patio/garden and three doors down from great Wine Bar restaurant, Cactus Liquor store and Le Bistro French restaurants (say “Hi” to Emanuelle” for us!) Owners were very responsive and we wished we could have stayed longer than our two weeks but the house is so popular that we could only get the two. Also just a four minute walk to the Sea of Cortez beach.

About the host

Hosted by Monie Hopkins

Host profile image
We live on the central coast of California. We hope to retire soon and plan on living in Loreto 1/2 the year where we will get involved with the community.

Why they chose this property

Loreto is a short affordable flight from LAX and a long one day drive from San Diego. It is a safe and very friendly community. There is great weather year round with never ending activities being surrounded by the dessert, the sea and the mountains. We go with our 80 year old mother and our adult sons and their children and there is something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

A day in the life in Loreto - have our tea/coffee sitting on the upstairs patio watching the community waking up and the sun fully rise over the sea - a casual walk through the neighborhood admiring the unique succulents and gardens - end up at the beach for a walk and a little beach combing- back to the casa for a swim in the community pool outside our backdoor - off to the Inn across the street for a beer and fish taco while we watch the locals haul in their catch of the day - back to the casa for a short nap or read - the afternoon is left for either a run around the golf course or snorkeling around the point to end up diving for golf balls in the lagoon - in the evening we either go into town for a mango daiquiri on the malecon, a stroll through town, some great mexican food ususally including the fish in season and topping it off at the local ice creamery - if we stay home it's still a mango daiquiri but we are sitting up in the viewing tower watching the shadows fall on the mountains as the community rests.
