5BR Villa in Valle de Guadalupe

Our entire family really enjoyed the quick vacation to Ensenada. We have not been back to Punta Estero since Covid, last year we were going to stay at a house called Las Mananitas but at the last minute the house sold and we had no where to stay at Punta Estero. Pryor to covid we were going to Punta Estero for the last twenty years. We have taken vacations throughout the world but those two weeks at Punta Estero was always set aside just for family. Casa de Arte was a fabulous home. We enjoyed our stay there and are now looking at dates of when to go back. The many great memories we cherished at Casa de Arte will be with us all for the rest of our lives . Thank You for the memories and Thank You for sharing your home.

We had an amazing stay! There were 14 of us plus two dogs, and the home accommodated everyone comfortably. We’ve stayed in many homes in this area over the years, and this was by far our favorite. The location is perfect, with the beach just steps from the house. Our family made wonderful memories making s’mores, playing volleyball, corn hole, relaxing on the patio, enjoying BBQs, and spending our days at the beach. The home was incredibly well stocked and thoughtfully equipped—even providing a water bowl for our dogs, which was such a nice touch and made them feel welcome too. The weather can get warm and humid at times, and while there is no air conditioning, the house was well prepared with ceiling fans in every room plus plenty of portable fans to help keep everyone comfortable throughout the day. Check-in and check-out were easy and seamless. Gabby was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and attentive. When the volleyball net fell, she had it repaired within the hour

We stayed at Casa de Arte for the second time. We love the location, size of property, and responsiveness of host.

Everything was excellent! Thank you so much! We'll definitely be back!!!

We loved the house and its location. We were amazed at the space, the furnishings, and the closeness to the beach. Everything worked as expected, and we were comfortable. We felt safe and relaxed and will recommend the house. We hope to come back for a longer stay someday soon. The details were outstanding. The art reflected the house's name (Casa del Arte), and the furniture was ample, comfortable, and plentiful. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some more. The WiFi worked well in the main rooms but was a little spotty in the bedrooms, as described in the brochure. The patio furniture was gorgeous and comfortable, perfect for sunsets. The beach and its closeness to the house were fabulous, as was the availability of boards for the kids to use at the beach.

The house is gorgeous, spacious and very well equipped. Every space is thoughtfully decorated with beautiful artwork. The ocean views are simply breathtaking. The neighborhood is secluded, peaceful and safe. The house has anything you may need, and the host Isabelle and her concierge Gabby provided an memorable experience. They were extremely helpful and attentive. We had an electrical problem in the house on December 24 at 11 pm, they had a maintenance person Lupe within 30 mins taking care of it, That speaks highly of the level of commitment towards providing an impeccable experience. We do not only greatly recommend you to stay in this Gem, we will definitely be back soon to enjoy this little piece of paradise.

My friends and I can’t wait to go back. The home is an artist and literary nerd’s dream, full of amazing books and art, on the most magically quiet beachfront. The views are unreal. One thing to note is that it’s about a 20 minute drive to a large grocery store so be sure to plan accordingly as the location is quite secluded. It’s about 45 mins south of Ensenada and about an hour and a half from the vineyards in Valle de Guadeloupe.

If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life, this is it. You don't have to be on top of a mountain either, you can basically be on a private beach. This house has it all! The strip of land that this house is located on is a little bit of a gem in Ensenada. Me and my family come down every single year in the summer to stay for a long weekend and have been to 4 to 5 of the houses on this beach. This house has been the best by far. The house is beautifully decorated with art in every corner, impeccably clean by the staff, and has everything you could ask for. When we arrived, we found drinking water at the ready, beach towels clean and folded, and a TP of wood set up in the outdoor fireplace, they are just begging for you to have a good time. You will not regret your stay here.

This is the third house in which my fam and I have stayed in this area and it has been our favorite. Very spacious. Everything was in working order. Beach is a little farther back than in previous houses we have stayed, but no biggie. There is clear path to the water. Note: Owner is very strict about number of people staying at the house so if you are type that says 12 people are staying but its really going to be 20, this house is not for you!

My family and I had an amazing time at casa de arte. For a group of 10, it definitely fitted our needs. Everyone had space and didn't have to worry about feeling cramped. There was everything one needed to make the stay comfortable. We didn't have to worry about getting water which was a primary concern. Plenty of jugs and we never ran out. It was great to have a washer and dryer especially when you have little ones that are constantly in and out of the water. The view and access to the beach is amazing!! We had the beach to ourselves, and it was wonderful to have the privacy and peacefulness we were looking for. The grill and firepit were great in the evening and we enjoyed being able to relax outside. The only minor concerns were in the kitchen, it's a little small and could use some reorganizing and some newer utensils. Overall had everything one would need in a kitchen. There was also a musty smell that combined with the plug-in air freshener gave you headache but was quickly resolved when we opened all the windows and aired out the house. We would definitely stay there again, and we are planning on going there next year if it all works out.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location! We were a group of 10 and plenty of space for everyone. Very large living area with lots of seating spaces and even more space in the outdoor living area where you can bbq or play some cornhole. Basically a private beach right outside, perfect for a morning walk. Gabriela, the house manager had great communication and set us up with a wine tour of the Valle de Gaudalupe with a driver and guide. The Valle is about an hour away, perfect for a day trip. We would definitely come back and stay again.

We had a good time staying at the casa arte. The house is full of amazing art and books. It is right on a super beautiful beach. I think in the summer the house would be ideal. There were a couple of issues with the house. The electricity went down on the first night, which meant the space heaters didn’t work. Gabby (the property manager) responded promptly and had their handyman out to fix it. The process took a couple hours but he was able to finally rig the system to have some parts working. The following day there was no water because of the electric issues. Again the communication and response time was great but the fix required three hours. We left and went to la Bufadora. The water pump problem was resolved but showering had to be done one at a time due to lack of pressure and hot water cutting out. Also only three space heaters could be used at any time so as to not overload the system. This is not adequate to heat a house of this size. The electrician who came out on the second day indicated that the whole electrical system is in need of an overhaul, which hopefully will happen. The last thing to be aware of is that the house is an hour (or more depending on traffic) from downtown Ensenada. This can be an advantage if you want to be away at the beach and not go into the city but is a drawback if you want to see the sights or go to the Valle de Guadalupe. I would certainly go back to the Casa Arte. Everyone was very nice and the scenery is beautiful.

Host Response

Hi Blair - Thank you for your feedback, we always appreciate guests taking the time to write it. We had not had this particular electrical issue in the past but we always respond as quickly as possible if anything arises. We had not been told that the system needs more work so we will certainly address that. Because homes in Mexico do not have central heating systems, we'll be sure to note that very clearly. It's such a beautiful time to visit so we will continue to find alternatives if we offer the property during the WInter. We would love to have you and your group back any time!

We celebrated our anniversary here with a small group of good friends and a few kids 5-8yrs old. It was so magical!!. The home was very comfortable for everyone and the kids loved the bunk bed room. Our group was so impressed by the gorgeous art work. You can spend so much time wondering around the house and appreciating all the beautiful and unique pieces. The back porch was a perfect spot for a catered dinner at sunset. We played for hours on the beach, paddled in the lagoon and drove over to Los Arbolitos for some chilly but crystal clear snorkeling. Everyone couldn’t stop commenting on how wonderful our location and home was for our special gathering. Thank you so much to Isabelle and Gabby! Both were very communicative and made the whole experience smooth.

My family has spent a week on this beach every summer for the past eight years and this by far is the best house we’ve ever stayed in!! Everything was as promised and the house is wonderfully decorated and very very functional for a large group. Amazing outdoor porch area with with sun covering and fireplace — didn’t want to leave! Host was tremendous and responsive. Couldn’t have asked for more. Hope to return for years to come!!
