About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Casa Moonshine Two Casitas - Private pool, AC, short walk to a beautiful beach!

Casa Moonshine is a modern, self-sufficient home in the peaceful, beachside community of Los Zacatitos. We offer two booking options based on your group size. Two Casitas for up to 4 adults or Three Casitas for up to 8 adults. The casitas are never rented individually to separate parties. You will enjoy the privacy of having the entire property to yourselves with either choice.

The Space
THIS OPTION INCLUDES TWO POOLSIDE CASITAS with a tranquil lounge pool and a palm-thatched roof palapa surrounded by giant Cardón Cacti and gardens that complement the natural scenery. A newly built rooftop patio is the cherry on top. You won't want to miss the sunsets from this incredible vantage point!

TWO BEDROOMS, TWO KITCHENETTES AND TWO BATHROOMS.
Can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children with two queen beds, and two cots.

DETAILS
Fall asleep to the soothing rhythm of the Sea of Cortez. Wake up to a symphony of songbirds. Casa Moonshine is a modern retreat in a rural Baja paradise designed with privacy and serenity in mind. Playa los Zacatitos, a pristine, swimmable beach, is only 1/4 mile away.

The two identical poolside casitas each include:

- A comfortable queen-sized bed and a single cot mattress to accommodate one child.
- Air conditioning.
- Fully stocked kitchenette (refrigerator, oven, sink, stove, coffee maker, and necessities for cooking and dining.)
- Full bathroom including towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap.
- Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors bring in plenty of natural light and stunning cactus and pool views.

The swimming pool is a few steps outside the studio casitas. Giant cacti, palm trees, and blooming desert foliage provide a picturesque backdrop and privacy barrier. The pool's shallow end is about a foot deep and perfect for wading, while the deep end is ideal for swimming or taking a refreshing dip on a hot day.

The cozy outdoor living area, under the cool shade of the palapa, provides abundant comfortable seating and plenty of room to gather and enjoy your meals together. The palapa is the place to be for a mid-day siesta in a hammock, to tune out and read a book, play card games, or kick back and relax with a cold beverage.

A sufficient workstation could be set up under the palapa for those who work remotely. A reliable wi-fi connection is available throughout the property.

GUEST ACCESS
With this booking option, guests of Casa Moonshine have access to the entire half-acre property, including the poolside casitas, palapa, rooftop patio and pool. There will not be access to enter the Garden Casita, but it will not be rented to a separate party. During your stay, you will enjoy the privacy of having the property all to yourself.

NEED MORE SPACE? Casa Moonshine can now accommodate up to 8 Adults with the completion of our new two-bedroom Garden Casita!
The Garden Casita sleeps up to 4 adults with one queen bed and two twin beds, including two connecting bedrooms and one full bathroom. It does not have a kitchenette. The Garden Casita will not be rented separately or to individual parties. It is only offered as another option to accommodate larger parties. Please see our separate listing, " Casa Moonshine, Three Casitas," for more information.


Other things to note
OFF-THE-GRID
Casa Moonshine is a self-sufficient home in the off-grid community of Zacatitos. We rely on solar power, water storage, and septic systems. Conservation of these resources is necessary.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Casa Moonshine was designed to embrace and enjoy the outdoors. The casitas provide comfortable indoor shelter for sleeping and cooking, while the plentiful outdoor living areas are for gathering and enjoying the serenity of the desert by the sea.

WILDLIFE
Zacatitos is home to an abundance of wildlife. During your stay, you will surely meet some of these friendly locals. Wild Burros, Free Range Cattle, Deer, Silver Fox, Iguanas, Rabbits, Vultures, Hawks, and a wide variety of other birds and reptiles.

The East Cape is wild terrain in the Sonoran Desert on the Sea of Cortez. With that comes many interesting life forms, including plants, insects, reptiles, and sea life. That is why we love it! We take pride in our thorough cleaning practices but try not to use harmful chemicals that will hurt the unique ecosystem.

SECURITY
Zacatitos is a safe and peaceful community. The property owners invest in a 24-hour security team, whom you will meet anytime you enter or leave the neighborhood and will see them patrolling on four-wheelers at night.

TRANQUIL. MAGICAL. PRIVATE.
These are some of the words often used to describe Casa Moonshine. The privacy of the pool, the allure of the palapa, and the peaceful, native surroundings are the property's highlights and a few of the elements our guests love most.

Moonshine was peaceful oasis in the desert of Zacatitos. Close to the beach. West facing, the sunsets were beautiful and the peace and quiet of the property is very relaxing. Hanging by the pool and reading or enjoying the huge palapa with a cup of coffee in the morning or and a cocktail at night was our favorite. The air conditioning was a big plus as the days can get very hot. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved Casa Moonshine and would definitely stay again!

Sun, Sand, Surf and Donkeys

You won't be disappointed staying at Casa Moonshine. While the home isn't directly on the beach, it's nestled among a beautiful variety of trees, flowers, and cactus—truly stunning. About 25 min down the coast, you will find the perfect surfing waves in Los Fortuna. The property and surrounding community offer everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. And I almost forgot to mention the neighbourhood donkeys and humpback Wales that pass by daily.

Magical, safe and peaceful

Ladies trip (3 of us) enjoyed our time at Casa Moonshine. Off the grid yes but in a luxurious sustainable way. Its only 20 minutes to the lovely old San Jose and the marina to take Ocean excursions. Casa Moonshine was so comfortable from the beds to the lounges by the pool. Basically, a private beach is a close walk away. We lost count of how many Grey & Humpback whales we encountered. The layout and the architectural design is smart and lovely. We never had to turn on a fan or any A/C. The community is so friendly. Knowing there is private security in the community was a plus. We will be back for sure. Safe travels

Exceptional hideaway that was perfect for our needs.

We have been traveling and staying in this part of the cape for the last 5 years and have stayed at a variety of rentals from bare bones to the extravagant and for our needs this trip, Casa Moonshine was perfect. If you’ve been to the southern parts of the East cape you know that things like hot showers, WiFi and functioning appliances are not guaranteed. Casa Moonshine provided reliable services and a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Our hosts were quick to communicate and attentive to our needs without being overly concerned about our time there, we felt trusted with their home and appreciated for our business. When you travel to this part of the world it would be a shame to spend your time indoors. That being said, you want comfortable shelter at night and during the middle of the day when the sun is HOT. The house(s) are very cleverly and stylishly designed that have everything you need. The AC works well. The exterior has a very large palapa with tons of places to lounge. The pool is clean and functional for all ages with a shallower end for smaller kids and smart blocks dividing the deep end. The studios are new and in good shape. Quality appliances, comfortable beds, great linens, well stocked kitchens, beautifully maintained landscaping with massive cardon cactus's and all the beach necessities you need. A lovely little desert spot that we plan to return to again. Thank you Mooney family!

Just right...

Casa Moonshine was just the right amount of remoteness for our 10 day family vacation. We loved the community and everything about the location. Hosts were full of great recommendations (compiled in a lovely book) and the property manager was awesome and super helpful throughout our stay (met us at the nearby restaurant to show us the way to the casa upon our arrival). The property was beautiful and set up for outdoor living, which we fully embraced! We loved the pool, the palapa, the proximity to the ocean, walking the neighborhood, donkey calls, all of it was just perfect.

Paradise found!

I stayed 4 days here with some girlfriends and we had an absolutely incredible time. The owners did such a beautiful job of building this place. You can tell they really put their hearts into it. Everything about it was wonderful. The beds are comfy. The casitas are beautiful. We stayed outside most of the time, either at the pool or palapa. We hung out under that beautiful palapa late into the nights and went back under there first thing in the morning for coffee and yoga. The vibe is so good. There is a lot to do in the area, but we really didn’t want to leave much. We did wander down to the beach a couple times (it’s amazing), as well as the hike to Punta Gorda and we had dinner at Zac’s most nights. (Zac’s has incredible food.) I was struck by the simplicity of everything - our entertainment was mostly each other and the wildlife (there’s a lot!). We are already planning a trip again in a few months. I cannot say enough good about this place! We took the owners advice and got groceries near the airport before heading out. We made sure to arrive before dark since this is rural Mexico and it would be difficult out to find otherwise, and we ate at Zac’s and took a voyage down the beach to Zai Sushi one night. The owners know what’s up. Their suggestions were spot on. Do keep in mind that this is wild territory. Lots of flora and fauna. We loved that aspect of it. It’s a perfect place to get away from the craziness of our modern lives and just unplug and breathe deeply.
