Beachfront w/ pool - Reunions,Weddings,Retreats!

Welcome to Casa Alvarado, a beautiful private oasis that’s nestled in the picturesque cove of Punta Pescadero’s safe and secluded resort community. The main villa combined with two large stand-alone casitas make it the perfect destination for gathering with friends and family, reunions, weddings, corporate retreats, or just a romantic getaway.
The main villa at Casa Alvarado boasts a spacious kitchen that opens up to the living room and dining area, all leading directly to the patio, where you’ll be welcomed with unobstructed ocean views and a magnificent staircase down to your private pool, that is just steps away from a private sandy beach with natural reef and turtle preserve.
The main villa accommodates up to 12 guests in 4 spacious bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 bedrooms on the ground level that have private entrances. On each level, one of the bedrooms has a king bed and en-suite bathroom, and the other bedroom has two double beds and a bathroom.
There are 2 individual casitas next to the main villa that provide guests the space to spread out and have a bit of privacy, while still enjoying partial views of the sea. Each of the casitas has a full bathroom and 4 double beds, 2 of the beds are on the main floor and the other 2 beds are in the loft area. Up to 8 more guests can be accommodated between the 2 casitas.
Casa Alvarado offers everything you’ll need for an unforgettable vacation. Relax by the pool overlooking the ocean, snorkel and stand up paddleboard in calm, protected waters, and admire the whales spouting as you drink your morning coffee. Other activities include shelling, scuba, kayaking, and fishing. A three-minute walk to Punta Pescadero Paradise Hotel adds horseshoes, tennis, basketball, a bar with wide-screen TV, and restaurant meals. Best of all, there’s a paved community airstrip for your private plane.
We offer daily housekeeping and property management. Upon booking, you will receive wonderful sources for transportation, fishing excursions with pick up at the casa, day trips to Bay of Dreams by boat, cooking classes, catering, shopping, an authentic Mexican fiesta or ATV's. The property manager is always available and checks in daily with guests.

Paradise for those looking for privacy and beauty
The property is advertised as paradise, and it is for those looking for a gorgeous view of the Sea of Cortez, a sand beach that you will have practically to yourself for swimming, kayaking and boogie boarding, a coral reef right in front of the house for snorkeling, and a large pool with a large covered deck and 10 lounge chairs. Our group of 20, ages 1 to 71, visited in July (90 degrees) and lived in the water. We had a marvelous time. That being said, the house is remote, a 2-hour shuttle ride from the airport, the last 30 minutes of it on a sand road. So unless you are renting a car and driving (not for the faint of heart), you have little access to shops, restaurants and nightlife. It all depends on what kind of a vacation you want. For us, it was paradise! The house is very clean, the kitchen well stocked with an ice machine, griddle, and instapot besides loads of pots and pans and dishes. The family room has two bookshelves filled with books and family games. We were provided a 5-gallon jug of water each day for drinking, though we purchased additional for our group. The property manager, Patricia, will shop at Costco and Walmart for all of your food and alcohol for a fee of about $120 US plus 10% of the food cost. I suggest paying her for the food in pesos because the exchange rate was not favorable. The guys went deep sea fishing and caught a marlin, which we grilled for three meals. Delicious! A memorable vacation.

Lovely House, Beautiful Beach
Our three generation family had a wonderful time at Casa Alvarado! The two casitas and four large bedrooms in the main house provided us with plenty of space so that we were together but not in each others’ space the whole week. The house is right on the beautiful beach where we snorkeled, swam and collected shells. Nice pool, hammock area and outdoor fire ring. The kitchen has everything you need. The owner Heidi has connections with a caterer, drivers and a sports fishing captain. all good people. The fisher people in our group caught two marlins, two dorados and a tuna on their afternoon on the captain’s boat- phenomenal. This is truly a well supplied getaway house near a small hotel and in a small neighborhood but far away from stores and bars and the scene in Cabo San Lucas. That was a plus for us.

Incredible Home
We absolutely loved everything about Heidi's home. The beach was gorgeous, and incredibly private. We had it virtually all to ourselves the entire trip. We had everything we needed, from bath/beach towels, snorkel gear, kayaks/paddle boards, kitchen supplies etc. Heidi also provides a very detailed welcome package, which has contacts for transportation, catered meals, massages, suggestions for the area etc. I would absolutely recommend Casa Alvarado for any large group!

Girls trip
We had a girls trip here and it was Magical! Once you get to the house you will not need to leave! The management was great at helping us plan our trip and the owner was very helpful with giving us a welcome packet with information about the area. The house is great for large groups and everyone had their own space. We rented Atvs to get around high recommend to see the area! The sunrises with a cup of coffee on the porch were gorgeous! We saw many whales from the house as well! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful property on the water with plenty of toys to play with on the ocean.
The house was beautiful with lots of room for our 2 families. We hired a chef to cook dinners and it was perfect. The house is a 25 min drive out of town on a dirt road.

Wonderful Holiday Stay
This was our second stay at Casa Alvarado and it was just as wonderful as the first. The location is beautiful and perfect with an amazing view and basically private beach with the best snorkeling! And we watched whales and mantas from the porch all week long! The owner Heidi is super responsive and accommodating, as well as Patricia the house manager. Everything we requested went off without a hitch including a decorated Christmas tree and a catered dinner on Christmas Eve. Wi-Fi was great for the teenagers as well as the adults who had to re-book flights home due to the weather mess in the US. If you’re looking for a quiet out of the way place for a large group this is the place!

Amazing Property!
We were a group of twelve and I can say everyone thought this home was incredible from the moment we arrived and were welcomed by the house manager Patricia and her crew who helped unload the van to the moment she waived goodbye on our last morning. Patricia is top notch and made our visit so much better. She responds extremely quickly when you reach out and is happy to help with anything we needed. Martha's cooking was so delicious and she and her crew are so friendly. The snorkeling out front on that reef was wonderful. Lots of big fish. The resort was a fun little happy hour spot. We will most definitely be back.

Took our breath away!!!
This property is absolutely stunning. It feels like you're on a cruise ship when you're in the family/kitchen area because all you see is water. The views, stars, sunrises, and moon rises are breathtaking. There was plenty of space for 13 of us. This property is essentially a private resort; each bedroom with it's own bathroom, good size pool, and beach with hardly anyone around. Very quiet and remote. If you want a place to relax, then I highly recommend this property. Susan is the best property owner/manager that I have interacted with. Extremely helpful and engaging. It's very important to her that everyone has a great time. Carlos checks on you daily and Griselda is a fantastic cook!! There's a resort close by that makes great drinks and delicious food. We already told our oldest daughter to get married here. Let's see if we can convince her. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!

Magical Retreat on the Sea of Cortez
My family (2 children aged 10 and 12) and 2 friends stayed in Casa Alvarado for 7 days and I cannot say enough good things about it. We snorkeled in the the reef right in front of our beach and saw a veritable aquarium of fish every day. Parrot fish, balloonfish, stingrays and eels to just name a few. We spent every morning paddle boarding the turquoise waters in the beautiful Sea of Cortez. The location was perfect as we could easily walk to the hotel for drinks or a meal but the entire complex of Punta Pescadero is off the beaten path and is very safe and not overdeveloped like the area around Los Cabos. At this time of year, we saw at most 8 people on the beach at any given time. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation far from the crowds and lots of water activities and potential for adventure, this is the place. If you get a chance and are in whale shark season, we recommend the 2.5 hour drive to La Paz to snorkel with whale sharks. It was an amazing opportunity and our kids cannot stop talking about it! As for the house, you will want for nothing. There are endless bottles of purified water and all the utensils and appliances to satisfy any chef. Carlos, the caretaker, came by every day to check on the pool and our needs and he is a treasure (he will always appreciate a cup of coffee in the am so please offer him a cup). :) The owner, Susan, is the nicest person and gives out very thorough information. The pool house had a ton of floats and snorkel equipment as well as water shoes for every size. Honestly, the house far exceeded our expectations. The hardest part was saying goodbye but we are already thinking about coming out again for next year’s spring break.

Our 8 day family vacation for 12 in Baja Mexico
This is a wonderful location true to description. The kids loved the pool and we're easy to track their whereabouts. The layout of the home works well for large families. The kitchen amenities including ice machine was perfect for a large group. Sunrises followed by snorkeling, kayaking, & paddle boarding right in front was enjoyed almost daily followed by sunsets and family games The preparation emails by Susan answered all our questions and helped make us be ready to "be there". Carlos property manager was very attentive including aiding us in a rare power outage. Highly recommend a delicious cooked by Griselda meal brought in the first night and tortillas as needed. We would highly consider staying here again if returning to this area.

Absolutely a home away from home!
We four couples had a fabulous 10 day stay at Casa Alvarado. The location is perfect - in a cove for more protected snorkeling & enjoying the warm & clear ocean. We had breakfast & dinner prepared by the lovely sisters who have worked for years in the well appointed kitchen. Walking to the hotel for lunch/drinks is just a few short minutes away. We used the standup paddle boards, kayaks provided by Casa Alvarado. Carlos, who oversees the property, kept us in ice & drinking water our entire stay. Housekeeping services were much appreciated. Communications with owners is excellent!! Highly recommend this property :)
