About this property

The Sea of Cortez beach egress is directly off the front steps of our Casa. View our YouTube Video titled 'Walk to the Beach' found in photo gallery and see for yourself. Enjoy unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez to the east and exceptional Sierra de La Giganta Mountain views to the west from your private upper 'Margarita' terrace. The authentic Mexican Village of Loreto center is a quick 5 minute drive by car or 15 minute (+/-) walk down the beach to the malecon. We are confident that you will be very pleased with our Casa and the established Costa Loreto neighborhood with its beautifully landscaped cactus gardens, palm trees and shaded pergola and palapa style patios.

Just a few feet from the Sea of Cortez, you will discover La Casa de Ensueno, the perfect place to stay in Loreto for relaxation and for exploration of Baja California Sur. Between the soaring peaks of the Sierra de La Giganta Mountains and the beautiful azure Sea of Cortez, is the soul stirring historic Mexican fishing village of Loreto. Our Casa is situated within easy walking distance to the boat harbor, malecon, banks, restaurants, shopping and Loreto Village Center where you will find the Church.

La Casa de Ensueno is perfect for travelers who do not want the typical hotel atmosphere. The tasteful Mexican accommodations and decor will make you feel very comfortable and relaxed during your stay. Soon, you will find yourself gazing at beautiful sunrises over the Sea of Cortez and sunsets over the Sierra de la Giganta mountain range. As the sky casts its stunning colors against the Isla Coronado and Isla Carmen hillsides and the mountain ranges of the Sierra de la Giganta, you will soon fall deep under the spell of Loreto.

La Casa de Ensueno is a two story spacious property that offers two separate and private living quarters, La Ventana (2 bedroom / 2 bathroom with ~2900 sq ft including outdoor living areas) and El Jardin (2 bedroom / 1 bathroom with ~750 sq ft). The property also has a 1200 sq ft garage named La Giganta for secure inside boat and auto storage that is available upon advance request for an additional fee.

The colorful second floor living quarters named La Ventana has a full kitchen with dishwasher, two large master bedrooms with King Size beds and back balcony access through sliding glass doors, two bathrooms with showers, family room, living room with full size sofa sleeper, and spacious dining room. La Ventana includes private access to the large covered front porch with comfortable bar top height table and swivel chairs, chaise lounges, and iron rocker chairs and side tables. In addition, you will have private access to the roof top 'Margarita' terrace that provides unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez to the east and exceptional Sierra de La Giganta Mountain views to the west. From La Ventana's large front covered porch, roof top 'Margarita' terrace, and from several of the interior living spaces, you will have stunning views of the Sea of Cortez and Isla Coronado and Isla Carmen hillsides and the Sierra de la Giganta Mountain range.

Each of the two separate and private living quarters of this colorful Mexican Casa can be rented individually by the day (5 day minimum), week or by the month. The entire Casa, Outdoor Living Spaces, & Garage (~4,800 sq ft) is also available for longer term periods dependent upon availability.

Great View of the Sea of Cortez

Great views of the Sea of Cortez from the upper deck. Location could not be better. A nice 20 minute walk on the beach to the malecon. We are hoping to come back next January for a month.

Average

The internet only worked off and on for the first five days. Property manager was here every day trying to fix it. Television has complicated remote which the laminated instructions baffled us as well as manager. Shower has no grab bars and for a 70 year old with Parkinson’s it’s pretty dangerous getting in and out as the edge has a huge step over ledge. No towel racks either. The sofa in the television area had no back cushion and they had put throw pillows there to help manage some back support but still very uncomfortable sitting with the back cushions missing. Also you need a car. We found white pet hair in the corners of the floor as if someone with a fog had been here. This neighborhood is the furthest away from town along a string of houses. You could walk along the beach but it’s a hike. Also the house is not on the beach side of the road as you’d imagine from the picture - it’s across the driveway. If you try and cancel with vrbo - even with insurance it’s almost impossible so beware. House was stocked well and deck sitting nice. The people renting the lower half are here a month and you can hear them talking easily upstairs. Not sure I’d rent here again.

Great home base for exploring Loreto

Bert and Terri's Casa de Ensueno is the perfect place to call home while in Loreto. It is just a short drive or bike ride from the city center, but far enough away from to truly allow for relaxation. The beach is just steps away, and there are enough kayaks for a group of 4 to hit the sea and do some ocean exploring. The home itself has all the amenities and more, including a great kitchen and living/dining room, amazing and warm showers (great after jumping into the ocean), cozy king beds, a perfect sun deck, and an amazing roof deck up top (perfect for sunrises/ sunsets). I do recommend that you get a rental car in loreto, as it makes getting into town (and around town on roadtrips / excursions) much more accessible. Bert and Terri and Tere (your contact in Loreto) made the whole process very easy and I would definitely recommend this place to all friends.

Wonderful location and well appointed

This property is in a great location, a nice, 20 minute walk, or short bike ride down the beach to the lovely town of Loreto. We felt very safe and secure, and the condo had everything we needed. We bought groceries and had everything item necessary to prepare meals and drinks. The bikes and kayaks were great, and really added to our stay. The floor plan worked well for two couples. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom with sufficient privacy. It was a good stay, and we hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by Bert & Terri Ferguson

Bert and Terri are active scuba divers, sport fisherman, hikers, mountain bikers and off road enthusiasts. Overall, we are adventurous and have a great love and appreciation for the outdoors!

Why they chose this property

In Loreto Baja California Sur, we found a region with a rich and vibrant history. Loreto was the original capital of all the Californias over 300 years ago. It was established in 1697 by the explorer Juan Maria Salvatierra, a Jesuit priest. You can see evidence of this history in the Missions, municipal buildings and the hearts and souls of the Loretanos.

Loreto is a natural playground for anyone who loves the outdoor life. Its azure, clear waters and tranquil coves provide scuba divers and snorkelers unparalleled underwater beauty and an abundance of sea life. Near the islands, the waters provide sportsmen with perhaps the greatest fishing in the world, with record catches of sailfish, tuna and dorado. The islands are easily visited by boat and such a trip will no doubt include sightings of sea lions basking in the sun on rocky coasts and dolphins leaping across the bow wave of the boat.

Sea kayakers glide through the warm waters of Loreto’s bays to camp at remote beaches and sleep under the stars.

For those who are more land-bound adventurous, the Sierra de la Giganta’s provides many opportunities for mountain biking, horseback riding trails and hiking over ancient trails used for hundreds of years.

What makes this property unique

Our Casa is ~50 feet from the beach and ocean, with easy access directly off the front steps of the property. The Village oceanfront malecon is walking distance from the Casa and is an ideal place for an afternoon stroll; or in the early morning, when the offshore islands appear like floating rocks in the Sea of Cortéz. The locals say that this is “where the mountains come to swim.”
