This is a unique place in a chill community and we definitely enjoyed our stay. Be advised that the design of this house is to be wide open...so when its hot outside (in July) its hot inside (no A/C) ... and you hear everything which includes donkey brays in the middle of the night and the neighbor starting up his UTV at 5:00am :) If you're looking for a unique experience, this place should be considered.

Great property with ocean and sunset mountain views, close to the beach and restaurant. Very nice outdoor living space, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The showers have plenty of hot water and pressure which we have had issues with at other off grid properties. We loved how the sliding glass doors stacked to each other opening up the entire kitchen and sitting area to the outside.

Great discovery, authentic, unique house. All perfect and always open to help. Idyllic place, we will be back for sure!!

Our stay at Casa Leyula felt like home away from home. It’s architecturally interesting and the desert surroundings are lovely. The development is guarded with a roped gate operated by security people. The lot was easy to find with the directions provided. Casa Leyula boasted pretty landscaping and we listened to birds sing every morning. While it a possible to see the sky illuminated by the sunrise every morning from your bed, it was so beautiful that it got me up and out onto the master bedroom patio every morning to catch the full vista overlooking Zacatitos. It was a little further from the beach than we had thought, but still very accessible by foot or car. Beach is stunning and hardly any people on it - waves and whales were endless! Breakfast down the street Mondays and thursdays (~10am) was authentic, fresh and delicious. Zacs bar was exactly what you would expect. Colleen (chef) dropped off a few meals for us that were fresh and delicious. All around it was a lovely stay!

Incredible place. The inside outside fee of the house made staying in the desert cozy but like you were really experiencing the surroundings. If we ever go back to Zacatitos we’d want to stay here, felt like home.

Hoop + Barrels The hosts jumped thru all of them to ensure we had a great stay. Be it in the early planning stages, almost 3 years ago, or onsite the day of arrival. The quality of the home goes without saying, spotless and an architectural gem. We’ve been visiting Zacatitos for almost 20 years. If you like your cocktail served to you as you gaze across a manicured lawn, don’t come here. If you like swimming in the ocean first thing in the morning, then picking up some fresh seafood from an actual person who caught it as you walk back on a gravel road to the house past donkeys… Doesn’t get any better! Thanks!

This is a really cool house. We loved being off the beaten path, the unique lodging, and the gorgeous beach at Zacatitos. The place is remote but incredibly well stocked with all the necessities, and the bed is so comfy.

We love this house! The architecture is stunning; we love the indoor-outdoor living and that the pool is central to the living area. We love that it's solar powered and off-the-grid. You can hear the waves in the distance, see the stars clearly at night, and you're not too far from Flora Farms, Acre, etc. Thomas and Rachel were very responsive to our questions, as was Lisa the property manager. Overall a great stay and we highly recommend this house!

had the best time with my girl; everything was spot on, views, crib, etc. highly recommend if you want a private spot away from everything !

Look no further this place is all that and more! What an incredible home and location. Imagine a architectural gem that is cozy and modern in harmony with the beautiful natural surroundings. Indoor/ outdoor living so thoughtfully designed to create a respite in the dessert while remaining intertwined. The views are incredible from every location from the mountains to the sea. A great spot for a morning or evening walk, near beaches, Zac's restaurant and convenient location to San Jose surf spots and all the treasures of the east cape. You won't want too leave!

Thomas’ home is stunning, with breathtaking views all around, even better in person than in the photos! Wonderful off-the-grid experience which allows you to disconnect and totally lose track of time. The wild donkeys are very endearing, and you can hear them at any time of the day. You will find everything you need and then some! If going there in August, like we did, be prepared for the intense heat….you will REALLY appreciate the beautiful pool at the house! Would definitely recommend this home for a one-of-a-kind and unforgettable experience.
