Excellent Location and a Quiet Neighborhood
Our comfortable vacation at Bahia Encantada Casa provided the perfect way to relax without a car. We took a taxi to & from the airport, but stayed in Loreto Bay for our entire week. Restaurants are close by with excellent food. We could snorkel from the beach, and Desert & Sea Expeditions picked us up on the beach for a half day tour of Islas Carmen and Danzante. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Loreto Bay 207
Loreto Bay is a laid back, relaxing, beautiful place and our home was in the perfect location and was very comfortable. The upper patio is fantastic with a bbq. Lots of places to sit in the sun or shade. We used the laundry and it was convenient to have. A couple of fixes, the drain in the upper shower did not drain very well and the shower water was not warm enough. We enjoyed our stay and we will come back to Loreto Bsy in the future.

Fabulous Stay at Loreto Bay
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at Loreto Bay! This property is gorgeous. We had everything we needed. The courtyard was a pleasant surprise, much better than anticipated! The townhouse would be perfect for two couples, with two master suites that are completely private! The beach is beautiful and a short walk from the townhouse. This property and surrounding area are meticulously cared for! We love Baja and look forward to returning to Loreto Bay!

2 weeks in Loreto
We were very happy with the casa and I can say this after visiting Nopolo for our 5th time. The beds were comfortable, they had a great barbeque, and the layout with the second bed and ensuite worked perfectly for our family. A minor improvement would be having a better non-stick frying pan ( we ended up buying one and left it as a gift). Would we stay there again- you betcha.

Golfer's will love this
We spent 8 days in this wonderful condo. Just as described in the listing. We cooked breakfast & lunch in the condo, & found a number of great restaurants for dinner. Our favorite was Sabor-a short drive from the condo. Golf on a beautiful course for $125 for the week-we took advantage of this, and played seven days in a row. A nice side trip-drive to the Pacific-about 2 hours- and view the whales. We plan on returning next year. Ron-Seattle

Well appointed
We enjoyed our stay here, the rental was exactly as described, perfect for two couples. The kitchen actually had plenty of dishes, including pitchers, tupperware and some seasonings. Super helpful and much more relaxing than having to purchase everything for a short stay. The management company and owners were super responsive when we had any questions. If I had any "complaints" it would be that the top deck with the view of the bay was not as nice as we have seen before. The unit is just a bit further from the water but still a SUPER easy walk to the beach! Would definitely stay here again

We Love Loreto Adventures
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share your beautiful home with us! The home was beautifully decorated. The VIEW was magnificent! We were so comfortable there. It was like home away from home. The landscape was impeccably maintained. The variety of plants were quite unique. The pools were very nice. The founder's village security staff, were friendly and professional. We took our boat to Loreto for the first time. We launched our boat at Puerto Escondido Marina. The staff was helpful and friendly. We adventured out to a few of the islands. The water was so clear. It was perfect for snorkeling. We had our family friends drive up from Loreto. What a wonderful vacation for all of us! The memories we make in Loreto are always incredible ones! If you want to stay in or adventure out, this is definitely, on our top 3 best places to vacation! THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Until the next adventure...:)

Olympic sized, salt water, heated pool
We found this charming Nopolo condo very comfortable, spacious and secure . The Olympic sized, salt water, heated pool, which is just 2-3 blocks walk away was the major reason we selected Margaret’s unit, and it exceeded expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed it and never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get in. Everyone we met in this expatriate community was friendly and happy to chat with us about any questions we had. We did spend most of our time in Loreto, which is about a 12-15 min drive north, so you definitely want a car if you want to see more of the Mexican culture. Margaret was easy to communicate with and proactively sent check-in directions twice to me, which was helpful…I had missed them the first time. Highly recommend.

Nopolo by the beach
Overall this is a great property and location. Directions to check in location were poor. A separate map to the property manager and security for parking pass would be an improvement. Although it was just 2 of us, it is well designed for 2 couples with separate master suites. Great kitchen and a 2 minute walk to the beach. Will book again Phil in Tucson

Good location
Villa was dirty when we arrived. Cleaned the refrigerator, washed the sheets, swept floors. So cleaners didn’t come close to doing their job. Bike had flat tire which was never fixed after multiple calls/emails as reminders. Other than that it was fine. Owner gave us a small refund which was nice but the experience left us a little irritated.

Really enjoyed it, very nice and comfortable.
Nice, clean and comfortable condo. The washer and dryer allowed us to only bring minimum clothing. Both bedrooms were nice and quiet. Yes, I would rent again if the two problems noted below ere fixed. The property management was responsive and helpful. Initially we could not sign on to the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi id in the paperwork was not even available. The property manager arrived the next day with his technician and got it going. The reason for taking away a star is the internet is useless. Slow, slow, slow. I tested internet speed at the modem with my laptop plugged in and receive about 1 mbps down and .2 mbps up. Way too slow to watch Netflix, etc. which is fun to do late into the evening. When trying to download a newspaper to read it sometimes did not work especially if my wife and I were connected at the same time. Also, the TV in the living room is way too small and old. I would say it is maybe 36" and about 7-10 years old. A 55" HDTV would have been much better for evening entertainment. We had to call the first day to have bottled water delivered. It seems that would have been taken care of before we arrived.

Living in Gringoville
Very convenient and comfortable for two couples. I gave 4 stars because it could use the following: 1. No soap in the bathrooms 2. Lighting could be better—dark downstairs living room 3. Laundry detergent should be available 4. No garbage bags to replace .5.No house phone as advertised 6. No instructions for TV and few stations available 7.Need more than one bike 8.Parking can be challenging no designated place to park Overall, a positive place to visit Loreto, but a car is a necessity since the Loreto Bay is a distance from town. Thank you.

This location and home is the BEST! Great getaway without crowds and traffic. The view of the Sea of Cortez was so beautiful and only a few steps to the private beach. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and set up meals. I felt like I was in an old world hacienda but with modern conveniences. Bed was very comfortable. I had the best night's sleep. Bathroom was bigger and more modern then my own at home. Clean , charming, comfortable....I did not want to leave.

The home was so beautiful, the views, Sunrise, sunset - spectacular - so comfortable! Loreto Bay is wonderful - loved the beach - loved the cafe and Wine Bar right there! The grounds, pools were everything we wanted and more. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful, loved going into town...took a boat tour around Coronado Island - played on the white sandy beach...dinner in town was outstanding.

Two couples, lots of laughs
Late February, early March, 2017. The unit was comfortable, clean and functional. The location was quite good, close to beach, lap pool, etc. Everything was walking distance. We had very easy dealings with the owner. Had to purchase bottled water, which was delivered and only about $2, but this would seem to be something the owner should have taken care of. For the short term vacation, additional toys would have been very nice (bikes, kayaks). There was one bike that was serviceable, and we were glad this was available, 2 would have been better. Our time was low-key and restful, but with enough activity to keep us smiling. Such is Loreto.

Great getaway
Very relaxing, laid back Founders village casa. Loved the town, everyone from the cafe's, grocery store to restaurants were really nice & helpful. Renting a car we were able to explore Loreto, go whale watching on the pacific side and to the San Javier mission in the mountains. The beaches are great, the sea life is amazing, lots to do in the water. The Loreto bay hotel patio was our on the beach afternoon Pacifico, chips & guacamole. Yum. Can't wait to go back.
