If you're driving, bring a canopy, cooler, and beach chairs. The private beach is WAY better than the malecón. There are vendors selling coconuts, mangos, oysters, and clams, along with ATV rentals, banana boat rides, and sombrero rides. The beach itself was amazing. The water was warm and incredibly enjoyable. The house was beautiful. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs king bedroom and were very comfortable. The only downside was that the AC blows directly onto your face while sleeping. My aunt stayed in the other downstairs room, which doesn't have a mini-split, so it does get warmer. Our family stayed in the second-floor rooms and had no complaints. The owner was wonderful. I contacted her a few times during our stay, and she responded quickly and resolved everything right away. Communication is important to me, and she exceeded expectations. The third-floor outdoor viewing area was a great place to relax. Overall, our family had a wonderful stay. We highly recommend!

100% recommended, excellent house, super comfortable, equipped with everything; all the rooms were amazing and the common areas were super charming. The ocean views are its best quality, it is a few steps and stairs from the beach, that is, you can't ask for something better.

Dora was an exceptional host, with a beautiful home. My family and I found this home while in San Felipe dealing with a disaster reservation previously. Not only did Dora respond quickly, but provided my family with an amazing home to spend our vacation, thank you for this home and memories, we hope to return one day! Because of the last minute reservation, Dora went above and beyond ensuring the home was clean and comfort, which to no surprise was immaculate. Thank you again!

Host Response
We really appreciate the reviews because it helps us do better. But I don’t understand the 4 Stars review. because the check in is exactly as it was posted the house is spotless the location is also as it was posted. Again if the review is about something that we should improve I’ll be more then happy to make it better.

Our family can’t stop talking about how great Dora’s home is. Easy close walk down to the beach which we had all to ourselves for the majority of the time we were there. We loved the cute and comfortable living spaces and the large roof patio was amazing for family hangouts and star gazing. 10/10

Great location with easy access to the beach. More of a private area with plenty of space, but within driving distance from town. Completely exceeded my family expectations. Would love to return in the future. Our hosts was always responsive and helpful and made us feel secure as it was our first time at an AirB&B.

We had an amazing 2-night stay at Dora's place in San Felipe! The house was super clean and in tip-top shape when we arrived. It's close enough to San Felipe to enjoy all the fun stuff, but far enough away to have some peace and quiet. The place is huge, with 5 bedrooms and 2 kitchens, which was perfect for our big group. We loved having a washer and dryer after being on the road for a while. Plus, the two-car garage was great for keeping our cars safe. Dora was super easy to chat with and always replied quickly, which made everything a breeze. The only tiny issue was that there wasn't a clear street number on the house, but we figured out which one it was from the online pics. Some highlights of our stay were the cool, modern design, being close to the beach, and just a short drive from San Felipe's downtown. It was such a relaxing spot to hang out! I'd totally recommend Dora's place to others, especially for big groups or families looking for a chill and comfy spot near San Felip

This house is amazing. Honestly as said before the pictures don’t do any justice to it. It’s great place for families to gather . Has great view the upper level of the house has its own view as well as the second. So close to the beach . Water felt great too. She’s super host, accommodating us at point.

We had a great stay at Dora’s house. The two units were very spacious for our group of 13. The house is just across the street from the beach, you just have to go down a couple of flight of stairs. The beach was mainly quiet the time we were there and we had a big part of the area to ourselves. The views from the second and third stories of the house are impeccable!! Would definitely consider this house again for our next trip!

This is a great place if you're planning a multi-family trip. The two separate upstairs and downstairs kitchen were super useful and handy. We did have a bit of an issue with getting hot water to come out of the showers, but thankfully we came during the summertime so it wasn't too bad. Also, the wifi doesn't work in most locations of the house which was a bit tricky, but we ultimately didn't come for the WiFi. Overall, it's a great and beautiful home and I'm so thankful for Dora's fast communication. Definitely recommend going for sunrise walk on the beach or sunset picnics on the 3rd floor terrace.
Host Response
So sorry Blanca about the hot water, Which you would of contacted me sometimes guests turn of the water heater. just had it checked and it was off. Thank you for letting me know. Sorry for the inconvenience unfortunately the WiFi is out of our control.

Dora’s place is a perfect spot that provides relaxation, quietness and amazing views of the beach, sunsets and sunrises! The house itself is beautiful and spotless, plenty room to socialize and an amazing roof top to get away from it all and enjoy the views. The place is very quite, and you are only a few minutes away from the Malecón where you can shop, eat and enjoy the locals! Dora communicated with me at every step of the way to ensure my experience was the best and it sure was! Thank you! Coming back soon!

Great location, steps away from the beach. Dora kept constant communication and made every step of the rental easy. Property was clean and was able to accommodate our 15 people party. Property was within minutes of El Malecon.. which was the populated tourist attraction. We would recommend and visit her rental again.

The house is so much nicer in person than in the pictures, I loved it and I can’t wait to come back.. it’s only a few steps away from the beach, very spacious and lots of parking, it’s very safe. The top decks views are amazing. This is definitely my go to place when I come back to San Felipe.

Excellent, 5 years ago
Our stay was most enjoyable for two families / couple . Lots of privacy as described and views of the ocean. The deck is lovely to feel/hear the wind and the ocean breezes. No furniture though. The main floor residence (3 bedroom 2 bath) is the premier portion of the home with more natural lighting and breezes than the lower level. The place is quite clean and a quick sweep (by us), took our sand away each day to freshen it up. It is well stocked with the essentials. Just a short walk across the street, down the stairs to the sandy beach. The ocean, depending on the tide can be a few short steps away on the beach or a nice long travel on the sand and through inches of water to get to the deeper end of the ocean to swim. Lovely, clean ocean. We found shells and sand dollars to delight us all. We did not enjoy the 4-Runners traveling up and down the beach ... but that is not our style, it may be your family adventure and you would be in good company. The tap-tap trucks serving fresh, fresh drinks (think Pina Coladas) in carved out pineapples drive by regularly on the beach... What service! Do note that you are 2 miles from the hubbub of San Felipe town. So you'll need to drive in for dinner if that be your choice and you are further away from the noise of town central. The view of town and the peninsula is all yours to enjoy!

The place was beautiful and my family had the best time. The top deck was fabulous - you have the view of the ocean and the desert behind you. Dora was super attentive to all our needs. Now in love with San Felipe even on the wildest weekend (spring break) we got an amazing taste for the culture and all the fun that that involves. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely go back!

Our family had an awesome stay, house is very spacious and beautiful. We were a party of 3 family’s and never felt crowded. The beds were comfy and the kitchens had everything you need to make a meal. The top deck was huge with great views, we spent most of our time there. Dora was such a great host and answered questions I had prior to our trip, she also gave me tips on the restaurants around. Kids had a great time at the beach each day and access is literally right in front of the house. Thank you Dora, had a great time!

Dora is absolutely fabulous. The house was a three story with a patio and BBQ up top. We watched the sunrise every morning. She sent a text message to remind us to wake up early, as this was a definite must do. The house has five bedrooms and two separate complete kitchens and five bathrooms including one on the upper deck. If you are looking for an outstanding family getaway home In San Felipe, then this is the place. We will be bringing the entire family back

Our stay at Casa Mar Vista was amazing! The house was very nice & clean. It was spacious & what I loved the most was that it had 2 separate kitchens (one on the first floor & the other one on the second floor) I also loved the terrace on the third floor. We used it to barbecue. The house had its barbecue grill & a large table with chairs to enjoy the terrace and it’s beautiful beach view. I loved that the house was in a private neighborhood & only the people in the neighborhood had access to the beach. Even though the house was not on the beach, it was only steps away. I loved it!! I highly recommend this house. Dora (the homeowner) definitively made me feel at home. She made sure our stay was worth it.

Beautiful home with a great location, however I would not stay again due to unclear check in instructions and host failure to communicate . Check in was at 3PM but did not check in until 5PM. Keys were not located where instructions indicated I’d be able to obtain. I then attempted to contact host multiple times via Airbnb message with out a response. I then attempted to contact host via phone x 10+ times and all I would get was “ your phone call has been forwarded to an automated voice message system please leave a message after the tone”. I never received a call back from host or a response through Airbnb messages. I had to contact Airbnb manager to receive some assistance. A/c was also not working properly.
Host Response
Janet I’m very happy to hear that our house and location was what you expected. As you can see on the rest of our reviews I have great communication and have never had my guests have to wait for the keys. In fact we always turn on the A/C before the guests get there so the house can be comfortable at check in. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE INTERNET COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I DID GET THE CALLS. THE A/C WAS JUST SERVICED AND IT WORKS WELL, IT DOES TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR TO COOL THE HOUSE BECAUSE ITS A BIG HOUSE HOWEVER ONCE ITS COOL STAYS COOL. WE HAVE BEEN RENTING FOR 10 YEARS AND THIS HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. Again please accept our apology for the inconvenience at check in. and hope that our house and community was comfortable enough For you guys to come back and visit us. Again Thank you for taking great care of our home

This home exceeded our expectations. Dora and Fatima were the sweetest and most attentive hosts. Our Fathers Day getaway was spectacular thanks to their attention to detail I will certainly be returning and Highly recommend your home to all my friends and family members. If you are thinking of staying at her home you get the best of two worlds. 1. You are far enough from all the noise that you get R&R. 2. You are close enough to take a little drive into town to mingle, eat, and shop. You will not regret your stay especially if you are going with a large family or group of friends.

My big family enjoyed the space and openness. It was a nice, quiet, not too crazy town. Dora was a great host and her house keeper is awesome too. Her husband ceviche was on point make sure to try some out. We really enjoyed the house, the ocean being a few feet away and convenient. The quads down the street were super fun and all of us of many ages had a blast (ages 9 - 46). It was a nice house to get away and spend time with my family. We wished we could stay longer and hopefully we can come again.

Casa Mar Vista is an amazing place for everything it offers: privacy, access to amenities (pay TV, internet, cooling, washing and recreation areas), kitchens, dining rooms, and comprehensive rooms. The balconies of the house allow you to enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, the temperature and quality of the beach in front of the house is great. The facilities of the house are as described and the best part of everything is that Dora and her team at all times worry about answering your questions very quickly, her home is a 100% recommended place.

We trully enjoyed staying at this house. We had the beach completely to ourself, didn't have anyone around us for about half a block, which was awsome. Had some minor trouble when we checked in but Dora was right on it. I would definetly recommend staying here, great for larger groups. Just FYI, the 1st and 2nd floor communicate through a outside staircase. It's actually more like 2 seperate houses.

Dora's place was exactly as described, the photos are very accurate and the house was spacious and clean!perfect for a large group. It is steps from beach access. There is a row of beach front houses across the street and a set of stairs in-between them for you to go to the beach. Awesome view from the 3rd floor and about a 10 minute drive into town. There is also an OXXO down the street .The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. All in all we had a blast! Fatima got the air conditioning going once we crossed the border and met us to let us in. (tip: If you would like hot water you must start the boiler) Only thing that irked me a bit was that there was a $200 refundable deposit that is not stipulated in the agreement or posted on additional fee's page. I was told about the fee the night before around 7:45 pm, would have liked some notice. Ultimately I would rent again and again! Thank you Dora.
