Casita de Luna - Beach 200 yards away, Stunning Views, Peace, Quiet and Nature

A bargain for such a great location this close to the beach - just a few hundred yards away! Close enough to hear the sound of whales flapping their tails on the water. Stunning open views (no exaggeration) of the spectacular peaks of the 7000' Sierra Laguna Mountains and the wide open Pacific. You don't even have to go down to the beach to enjoy it - the porch and roof-top terraza (preferred by many guests) bring it to you. A private beach bungalow located in an undeveloped area just north of Todos, it provides a natural retreat yet is just 10 minutes from all the action downtown. Located on over an acre and adjacent to 90 undeveloped acres of cactus forest, it's set back from main roads for security, privacy and NO road dust or traffic noise. We now have one neighbor on our north side, but it's still an exceptionally peaceful location, a natural setting with open landscape. Summer, fall and spring special rates. It is a spacious, airy studio with wide windows facing incredible views in every direction, plus french doors that open to the ocean view. It's our home, not a separate guest house, so it has most items you need to live! Furnished with:
*WiFi (password on front of info book on wall)
*King bed (or 2 singles pushed together) - comfy
* Sofa/futon bed (double) - great for kids
* Kitchen table & chairs
* Stove
* Fridge
* Microwave
* Kitchen cold water / right faucet is filtered and potable / drinkable.
* Full complement of cooking/eating utensils - cook to your hearts content if you want
* Many items and condiments you'll need (coffee, tea, spices, sugar, rice, beans, vinegar, oil, etc.) to cook up fresh fish bought from the boats at fishermen's beach.
* Margarita glasses and salt included! (You bring the tequila). Also blender to mix them!
* Wine glasses for sunset on the porch.
* Beer steins
* French press and Mr. Coffee maker with coffee grinder, to make it fresh!
* Linens and towels, including beach towels and beach mats.
* Beach umbrella, beach mats, canvas chairs, cooler, mask, snorkels, fins and boogie board available for beach trips are stored under patio.
* Rocking Chairs and recliners available for lounging on the porch or terraza/roof top.
* Hammock under palms. Daybed swing with view of ocean.

* Box of books for your reading pleasure.
* Daily afternoon breeze through ocean-side French doors to cool you, or ceiling fans.
* Table and comfortable chairs on corner of porch for al fresco dining.
* TV with DVD player and an assortment of DVDs (no TV reception).
* Radio/CD/Ipod player but you need to bring an AUX cord.
* French doors and screen doors are heavy metal with secure locks, to leave open all night, if desired.
* Stairs to terraza provide a view of entire coast line of the Pacific and Sierra Laguna mountains, or just sit on the corner of the front porch and soak it all in. Great spots for sunset and star gazing after a day on the beach.
* Full water pressure with plenty of hot water in walk-in shower, that also waters the desert garden.
* Gas BBQ - ask me ahead of time to arrange it.
Sleep to the soothing sound of crashing surf and wake to cooing doves. You´ll love strolling along the empty, white sandy beach, watching the whales breaching right off shore. If you prefer birding, from your porch watch osprey perched in the old-growth cactus, resident baby quail or road-runners skittering around and cardinals and Orioles feeding on the agave in the yard. Star gazing is a must. A very peaceful setting. Plus, it's green: partial solar for electricity and sink and shower water goes out to the garden - and we emphasize growing native, protected, water-conserving species in the garden.

The local 16% IVA Tax is included in the price and we have a Mexican business license to operate. We have security cameras installed on the outside of the house, but not on the west porch to protect your privacy.

Surfing, swimming, fishing, shopping, snorkeling, beach combing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, great dining are all available in the area. Todos Santos is an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, surfers, organic farmers, fishermen and rave-reviewed chefs that you'll want to try! Classes in Spanish, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, cooking, art, surfing and kayaking available. This interesting cultural blend provides a variety of interesting galleries, restaurants and eco-experiences to choose from. One of our favorites is helping release baby sea turtles back to the ocean in fall and winter, just up the beach from our casita. You can even volunteer to go out on ATV in middle of the night to recover turtle eggs from nests and help rebury them in the refuge green house. Contact us for an affordable vacation spot and info on the local attractions.

And Casita de Luna is SUSTAINABLE with a low carbon and water footprint! Here are the steps we've taken to reduce our footprint on the earth:
* All the water from sinks and shower go out to the garden - none is wasted! * The house is partially on small solar electrical system for conservation and as backup when Mexican CFE electricity goes out.
* In our guest book, we provide information to recycle and provide a compost pit for those wishing to recycle.
* We also provide reusable shopping bags, hanging in the kitchen.
* Hand soap is in refillable containers to avoid single use plastic bottles.
* Filtered water is provided in cold water/ right hand kitchen faucet.
* All energy-efficient, LED light bulbs used throughout the house.
* We are committed to the cause!

Our favorite Todos Santos couples getaway
My wife and I have been to Todos Santos and stayed at 5 one bedroom B&Bs. This is our favorite, we will actually schedule our next trip based on the availability of this nice little home. We loved the easy walk to the beach, the thunder of the surf and the Las Tunas location. Even if you don't stay here you should try and get her "book" of everything to see and do in the area.

Excellent, proactive communications before and during stay. The casita is as advertised, though not quite as secluded as I'd hoped. But the view to the west and the constant thunder of the pounding surf made it seem more remote. I would not hesitate to recommend it and we will stay there again the next time we visit Todos Santos.

Magic
Property was just as it looked it the pictures but better. If a studio in a idealic very close to the beach is what your looking for you found the place. This was a father son get away. Not only was the property brilliant we found great surf fishing out front. We called large whiting, pompano, croaker and one species I was not familiar with. Owner was very responsive to our needs and questions. I plan on returning

Peaceful stay with ocean view
If you want some peace and quiet yet close access to restaurants and the ocean, this is the place to stay. The owner was excellent at communicating with me and gave me lots of advice about many things, even after I left the property to continue my travels in Mexico. This was 100% a wonderful experience. I will definitely return.

Efficient ocean view casita
This is a one room efficient casita with adequate amenities for a pleasant and relaxing vacation. Great ocean, surf break, and sunset views, five minute easy walk to the endless beach. Bed is comfortable, kitchen functional for light use, well equipped for coffee and light meals, good refrigerator and freezer for your supplies drinks and ice. Bathroom is typical with good shower, excellent hot water, and privacy door. There are restaurants, a laundry, some services and a market nearby without having to drive into town. The owner Cathy is very attentive and helpful, provided very clear directions, responds quickly, made no exaggerated claims and was very easy to deal with. A helpful binder of information is provided to answer a lot of your questions and advise you of the area and it's attractions. Highly recommended for those seeking basic accommodations without all the bells whistles and hyperbole.

What a Place!
We were a little reticent when we booked; however, after communicating with the property owner, we fully understood the property, the location, and the intricacies of staying at La Casita Luna. The Casita is stocked with everything you need to feel at home. It was as if we just arrived at a relative’s house. The property is located a few miles from town. Access to town on foot would be inconvenient at best. By bike would be difficult. Use of a car is recommended. We never saw any form of public transportation. We were quite comfortable with the isolation and tranquility. We felt safe, both in town and at the property. It’s a very short walk to the beach. Once there, you might see people. You will see free range horses, whales at a distance, and miles of clean, lightly traveled shoreline. The few people we met on the beach were local residents and very welcoming. Walking distance from La Casita are three restaurants and a very efficient, and an affordable laundry cleaning business (50 pesos for our load of laundry to be washed, dried, folded for us). All in all, Cathy, the property owner, has been a great communicator. We would definitely enjoy another stay at La Casita.

Perfect simple property!!
Everything you would ever want to "get away from it all". Peace, quiet, nature and the beach right out of your front door. Just spent an amazing week with the family and couldn't ask for more! "Reconnecting" with the family has made it a priceless getaway as we were able to ditch the phones and computers and replace them with board games and many hours on the beach together. We were able to sample some of the best foods we have ever enjoyed in town with super friendly locals and really get into the lifestyle. Cathy's casita proved to be a perfect home base for a perfect vacation. We are already planning our return!

La solitud del viento
Loved the seclusion. The silence. The waves at night, the cacti, the birds, the big eared rabbits in the morning. The view of Punta Lobos on my left. The walks on the dunes, the beach. This is a great place to isolate oneself and work on a project. I came to write and the eight days I was there, it was very productive. That location and magical landscape create a clean slate, a mirror..... , kind of like camping on a really nice tent. I highly recommend it

Wonderful and peaceful casita
We just returned from our trip to Baja and I would definitely recommend the Casita de Luna to friends! Its located on a nice quiet spacious piece of land a little north of Todos Santos at the end of a sleepy beach road. You might see a few other people other around but you definitely feel the peace and quiet with waves crashing in the background! The casita was very clean and had all the supplies needed to make dinner and lounge on the porch. The cooler and beach umbrella were also extremely helpful on our beach adventures! It really is a very peaceful place to stay. Also Cathy was an excellent host!! She responded to all my questions and emailed a helpful info sheet with directions to the casita and places in the area where to pick up groceries, beaches to visit , etc... It's just perfect! Thank you Cathy!

Tranquil Paradise
The pictures don't do this casita justice. It's a lot closer to the beach than we thought it would be. It's only about a three minute walk. See the photo of the front of the house? I spent over a week sitting there almost all day. We could see whales from the porch, tons of different birds and plants. There are about 5 neighbors. Just close enough so you don't feel completely isolated, but far enough that you can pretend you are isolated (if you want to). It's so tranquil and relaxing. The stars from the roof were amazing. Summary: Everything you could need to feel like you are home. You can cook for yourself or drive about 10 minutes into town to eat at the many restaurants. Close to town and markets, but far enough away to feel at peace. Very affordable for the location. The owner was super-helpful and encouraged me to ask questions before our arrival. She sent an email to check in on us after the first day. She's so kind to share her home with you. I really want to go back already.

A special treasure in Todo Santos
We very much enjoyed and Casa de Luna in Todo Santos and hope to come back and stay again. The property was very private and quiet, with ocean waves crashing in the distance, it was a peaceful and restful place to stay. The home was well equipped and we loved all the light coming in through the ample windows. Our favorite time was sitting on the patio, morning coffee in hand, spotting whales spouting and breaching. The stars at night were spectacular as well. It was a short walk down the path to the nearby beach where you can take long walks by the ocean. The owner was helpful and attentive answering any questions quickly. It is obvious that they love and care for this property and is is awesome that they are willing to share this special treasure.

Perfect, simple little home with outdoor living
This little casita was perfect for our family of four. There are windows everywhere so you can see the stars at night as you lay in bed.The open landscape in the yard allows you to see all the beauty of the ocean, as well as both sunrise and sunset views. It was a very quiet neighborhood, away from all the barking dogs and music that in town rentals come with.

Incredible Experience!!
My husband and I spent an amazing week in Todos Santos this past February. Casita de Luna was the perfect home base - amazing view of the ocean, short walk to the beach, and overall very cute, clean, and comfortable. We rented a car (which I would definitely recommend) but the casita is within walking distance of the beach and the grocery story. We had coffee and breakfast on the porch every morning and watched for whales (we saw several!), wandered around the friendly town of Todos Santos, and explored the many beaches in the area. Cathy was incredibly helpful while we planned for our trip and the property manager was kind and accommodating. Hoping to return sooner than later!!

Casita magico
A wonderful week enjoying the peace and relaxation of Casita de Luna. Owner is friendly and very responsive to questions before and during stay. Location is excellent for taking in nature, which abounds. The charming town is just minutes away. The diversity of songbirds, and spotting whales off the coast right from the little covered patio, a delight. The casita is comfortable and well cared for.The only thing I could have wished for was a longer stay.
