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!

We loved this casita!

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!

Incredible Place and Lifestyle

We had an amazing time during our stay at Casa Tortuga! The views from the property are immense and we were able to see breaching whales, jumping rays, and lots of reef fish just off the beach. Responsive hosts and a great property manager this place has it all!

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.

A gem for couples looking to enjoy the Gulf of California

Casita Tortuga is a charming, classy place for a couple to take in all that the Sea of Cortez has to offer just outside of Los Barriles.It's right on the water -- making it easy to enjoy the jubilant mobula rays, breaching humpback whales, sea birds, sunrise, and stars. It's also a great place from which to snorkel and kayak. For people who enjoy birding, as we do, you will appreciate that the well kept gardens and fruit trees attract a range of non-sea birds too.The hosts are responsive both before and during the stay. Our check in and check out went seamlessly.I really appreciate that the Casita is available for couples looking to rent a private place. Most VRBO homes are appropriate for 4 people, so you end up paying for empty space.We like to cook with fresh local ingredients, and appreciated that the kitchen is well stocked. I'd recommend Casita Tortuga to anyone looking for a special trip to the Gulf of California.

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.

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!

I can’t say enough nice things about this place. It was a great place to just relax and sit and watch the sea. I saw so many whales from the patio that I stopped counting and the rays jumped all day long. I will be back!

A very relaxing place to stay. So nice to be away from the rush and noise of everyday living.

This lovely gem, Casita Tortuga, was perfect for my wife and I for we were able to relax, do some fishing and just plain veg out. The property manager Jose went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Sally and Paul for letting us stay at your beautiful and romantic Casita!

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.

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!!!

It's really cool to be so close to the surf but if you don't like that you might not like it here. Oh, Pickleball is very close and very fun. We loved it and felt the owners were very kind, attentive and helpful. Thank you Brian and Lucy
