About this property

OVERVIEW
Club Marena really is the perfect place to stay when visiting Baja, and this is the best unit within Marena! Just ten minutes south of the Rosarito Beach Hotel, this two-story villa is located in the complex in Rosarito because of 1) it's protected location--no northern wind and south facing, so you get tons of warm sunshine and the marine layer of fog stays away, 2) of course its exclusive access to the best surf break in Baja, K-38, 3) it's very own private sandy beach, 4) luxurious and perfectly manicured grounds, 5) heated swimming pool, heated children's pool, and jacuzzi are all heated 24/7 (other condo regimes in the area do not heat their pools and the jacuzzis are only heated upon request).

If you would like more information, want to see if we have any specials, or have any questions you want answered, please feel free to send me a message by clicking the "Ask Manager A Question" link on the right side of the page as I own and operate Mammoth Bliss Vacation Rentals.

NEW OUTDOOR WETBAR
We just completed our renovation of our outdoor terrace and added a large wetbar and extended deck space.

ACTIVITIES
Surfing and paddleboarding are some of the most popular activities at Club Marena, but just lounging on the patio in a chaise lounge overlooking the ocean, palm trees, pools and lush gardens is quite entertaining, too! There are also tennis courts, a heated oceanfront pool, a jacuzzi that's always hot, lovely oceanfront paths, a private beach, and plenty of exploring around the tide pools out front.

IDEAL MICRO-CLIMATE
Those that live in Southern California will know that a thick marine layer of fog can be present in the mornings of some months and can oftentimes last through the entire day. While this phenomenon is present throughout most of the west coast, Club Marena is unique in that it sits in a micro-climate. The marine layer makes a straight line across the bay from Calafia Point down to Primo Tapia. Club Marena is tucked inside this greater bay. The villas are also protected from the northerly winds by the Calafia point. What wind remains is further diffused by the towers so that our villa and grounds are left with a calm breeze, which is unique to coastal properties. The owners have lived and rented in all major complexes in the greater Rosarito area and have settled on this particular villa for its perfect weather.

SURFER'S DREAM
The famous K-38 surf break is a 150-300m right point break into a protected bay (there is also a shorter 50-100m punchier left into the same bay). While more southerly facing, the location picks up all swell directions, including Southern swells from Antarctica/New Zealand in our summer and NW swells in our winter. The line-up is always minimal since the only feasible access point is only for those staying at Club Marena. The wind and marine layer (when present) always stay a half mile outside the line-up due to the protected nature of the greater bay that we are in. Conditions are usually glassy as there is also a kelp forest protecting the bay. The inside section is also great for younger groms to learn.

LOCATION
Situated on the small cove at Kilometer 38.5, the villas in Club Marena have long been one of the most sought after residences on the coveted coast of Descanso Bay just south of Rosarito.

THE SPACE
2 bedrooms (California King in Master and queen in guest BR), 2.5 bathrooms, spacious oceanfront patio area, upstairs oceanfront terrace off the master bedroom, 3rd oceanfront deck with chaise lounges, and additional interior private garden patio.

*An assortment of surfboards, boogie boards, wetsuits, tennis rackets, golf clubs and beach chairs/toys available in the garage for your personal use - free!

*The beach is just a few steps off your patio. No elevators to worry about.

*There is a private garage connected to the villa with space for one car. Parking in the attached garage allows you easy access to bring in all your luggage, toys, and groceries, instead of lugging them through underground parking garages, stairs, and elevators as in the condos. Additional gated parking is available directly outside the villa's front door.

*High-Speed Internet is on and ready for use and is not shared with any other units to ensure you full streaming capability.

*All household amenities are available including a full kitchen ready for use (dishwasher, cookware, table settings, coffee maker, blender, microwave), two flatscreen TVs (smart TV, Netflix, Direct TV with US channels) in living room and master bedroom, fresh linens and towels, etc.

*In the area there are plenty of restaurants including some of the best just down the street and walking distance, like the K38 Taco Shop, Calypso, and Ollie's.

*The safe, gated community includes 24 hour security guards.

*Check In and Check Out is easy via a digital key code and your manager is available via phone and email 24 hours a day.


STAY EXTRA DAYS TO VISIT:
1. Guadalupe Valley, the wine region (ask about our recommended van/driver so you don't have to drive).
2. Ensenada, the port town with plenty of street side activities such as people watching, shopping, the famous Hussong's Cantina, and a harbour boat tour.
3. Golfing, surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, horse back riding--these are just a few of the many activities.
4. Shopping the arts and home improvement crafts of Rosarito and La Barca.
5. Ride an ATV on the local sand dunes.

This place is vacation ready. Just bring your family and friends and pick up some Coronas and tacos at the store just around the corner!

Very nice stay, just as presented

We had just one night at Club Marena. The villa was exactly as presented, very clean and comfortable. We had no trouble accessing the condo and enjoyed our short stay. Great outdoor patio area and water views. Second story master bedroom was large, comfortable, and had its own ocean front patio. I will note, this property does not have a beach, but it does have lots of nice ocean front views and a pool. Surfers will love this property as there were lots of nice breaks. Beach goers might want to choose another location. That is certainly not related to the villa. If you are not concerned about a beach, then you will very much enjoy this property.

Good security/good 3 days

Nice to have a garage, good, wi-fi and security, beautiful views, good for 1 couple as only one master bedroom with view, other bedroom very noisy right next to the street. Needs updating, carpet,bathrooms, bedding and a professional cleaning staff. Nice enough owner easy to contact but wish I would have had a refund on the cleaning fee as the villa had some issues with the bedding,bathrooms and kitchen.I We could not get into the club house, the key would not work on the door. Security said our key would work but it did not.If a guest is paying a $300 security fee for damages, you might think repairs would be made to fix the things that are destroyed, like the kicked in 1/2 bath door on the first floor.makes me wonder.... why is the door kicked in from the inside? The heating unit looks as if it had not been maintained since the beginning of time and the door to the unit is in the master bedroom, but the door would not close properly.... With all that being said, I would go back back if only for the quiet and beautiful views, We did eat at most of the recommended restaurants, K38 surf taco shop. Tampanco. excellent latte,food and atmosphere. Splash, chili rellenos are awesome and good sunset view. There was also a place that served truffle garlic french fries, my brother loved them. I do not remember the name, more of the gourmet style menu.everyone was friendly and welcoming. We drove to El Salto and did the hike, that was great. No water at the waterfall but a true commune with nature none the less We were the only people there, they charge 30 pesos per person for parking. It is a lovely campground and they are building in the area. After the canyon hike we drove to La Mission beach and walked for miles on the wide desolate beach before driving back north to Puerto Nuevo for lobster at Oscars. Returning to the US via the Otay Mesa boarder crossing

beautiful oceanfront property with nice views. Heated kids pool, oceanfront pool and jacuzzi were great for us and our 1 yr old. nice waves right out front and nearby. I would advise printing out your booking information as one of the guards gave us some trouble for not having printed proof of the booking. It all ended up ok but would be good to have just in case.

Amazing memories made

Our trip was absolutely amazing. The villa is nice and clean. The views were great. The surf was excellent. We will definitely be going back. We had a rough time with one security guard when checking in. I had written my sister in law on the paper that she was coming but as the last minute she couldn’t go and because her name was written on the paper and wasn’t with us, he was extremely rude and made us go online and redo the paper work as well as go reprint it before he would let us in and refused to help us find somewhere that we could go get it printed. I needed to use a restroom and he said I could go walk down the street or find a bush. He told the next guard on to give us a hard time as well. Thankfully he was very nice and didn’t. We made it all work and are thankfully familiar with the area so we were able to get our paper reprinted shortly with no problem. If we were not regular visitors of that area it probably would not have been so simple. Other than that it was amazing and we didn’t let it ruin our stay. We will definitely be going back!

Great property.

Great location, private, secure. Great surf out front. The HOA has an extreme amount of nitpicky rules. And the security guards enforce them all to the letter. No kids under 14 in the any hot tubs. No surfboards in the common areas, no wetsuits hanging out to dry. No kids in the clubhouse. Read the rules and expect them all to be strictly enforced. Every guard, all day. There were a few families there unrelated to us and they all got harassed by security, threatened with fines ect. And for all stuff that should have been non-issues. Got forbid a 12 or 13 year old wants to warm up in the hot tub after he gets out of the water. There is a clear separation between owners and renters with totally different rule sets. Overall, great experience though. Best for families with kids over 14 years. And the security guards aren't shy about checking the ages against the ages you write on the check in sheets.

Why they chose this property

We have lived and rented in all major complexes in the greater Rosarito area and have settled on this particular villa for its perfect weather. There are oftentimes colder winds when living directly oceanfront. The large Club Marena condo buildings block these winds from the villas, so while the condos can get cold and windy and only get direct morning sun (they're east facing), the villas stay warm with a slight breeze while they bask in the sun all day (we're south facing).

Our first full-time year was spent at Calafia. While they have gorgeous ocean views, they are directly on a point and get the most wind of anywhere in northern Baja. The common areas (gym, pool, jacuzzi, clubhouse, etc.) are so frigid that no guests nor owners can enjoy them (not to mention that they don't heat their pool and jacuzzi). There is no sandy beach and no place to enjoy the surf or boogie board.

The next year we lived at Gaviotas to try and move further south with somewhere to play in the waves and there were so many people, condos, and houses that it felt like a bustling city. Interior long roads with stop signs did not give off the relaxed Baja vibe we had been looking for. With a community of over 400 (large and densely populated) individual units crammed into a 500m area, there was no community space remaining for trees, grass, or any sense of natural beauty or nature. The small common pool area was always packed from such a densely populated community.

We were ready to leave Baja after 2 years and look elsewhere, but a friend told us about the villas at Club Marena. The day we visited was gorgeous, while a marine layer was hanging over the rest of Rosarito. Our friend explained that it wasn't chance, but that there was a true micro-climate due to our protected bay and the condo buildings. While we were skeptical, after 3 years of renting a villa at Club Marena, we just had to buy and make it permanent!
