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!
Brian & Lucy Williams

We just recently spent a week at this lovely casita. Waking up to the sun rising over the Sea of Cortez was awe inspiring. This is one of the few places we've rented where the pictures do not do this home justice. This is the perfect rental for a couple that prizes privacy. We will for sure be back...a perfect vacation! Lucy and Brian were wonderful hosts as well.

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.

Beach front Los Barilles

Casa Tortuga was the perfect stay for my husband and I. The location and views were ideal. Very tranquil area. The water is right outside your door. The water is so calm you can easily kayak all around. If you’re looking for quiet and slightly removed from the town this is perfect. The owners were wonderful and gave us great recommendations for things to do. Can’t wait to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Casita Tortuga! Brian and Lucy are great hosts! They were responsive to our needs and gave us suggestions to make our adventures better. The Casita is beautiful - located right on the beach with an amazing view from the wall of windows facing the ocean. It's the perfect getaway for 2 people. Sunrises and moonrises were amazing. The Casita is vey well equipped with whatever you need for cooking and dining, and Los Barilles is just a few minutes away for plenty of dining options. Snorkeling to the north is excellent. Definitely recommend renting an ATV for at least some of the time you are here - there's a wonderfully scenic road that parallels the ocean for miles and it's a great drive, with snorkeling spots and places to eat as you head north.

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.

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!
