We stayed at Vila del Faro with 6 adults and 4 kids aged 18 mos to 15 years. Plenty of room for all to come together or have some privacy. We loved the abundance of outdoor play options on the property - pool, hot tub, ping pong, bocce ball, volleyball, trampoline, beautiful vegetation, hammocks for reading, etc. A beach for walks is less than 1/4 mile away, and Cerritos beach is a longer walk or 5ish minute drive. Be sure to grab tacos and margaritas at Barracuda after catching your waves! Comments below are only for awareness if you have not travelled to Baja before: - The roads are rough and unmarked. You'll need a vehicle with good clearance but not 4wd. Try to arrive during the day (we got super lost in the dark). The coordinates in the listing are not accurate, so follow David's directions. - water and propane are limited, so be thoughtful & prioritize. We opted not to heat the pool, so little ones found it quite cold. Hot tub heats fast & stays warm for a long while.

We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday at the Villa del Faro with a few of our friends. It was a perfect gathering place to host us all in the same location. The pool slide is all time! Plenty of fridges to keep our drinks cold and ample space to relax and enjoy. Beautiful views and sunsets. Amazing property management and staff - very helpful and good recommendations. Lovely beach a short stroll away and fantastic bocce court! Thank you!

We had a great stay. We had 12 of us with a mix of kids and adults and the place was great for our group. There are plenty of things to do on site like bocce ball, horseshoes, ping pong, billiards, and a very fun swimming pool. The rooms were spread out enough to offer privacy. And you could hear the waves crashing as you slept at night. David and his caretaker were both great to deal with as well. We will look to stay here if we are back with a big group.

We brought a family of 10 for a surf trip. This was a great place. Everyone had a private space.The host provided a lot of the beach gear we needed for the young ones (umbrellas, chairs, towels, cooler). The pool, the hot tub, and the waterslide were a big hit. The host was very gracious and talked us through everything we needed to know. Indoor and outdoor kitchen. Indoor and outdoor shower. We appreciated both!

We were beyond thrilled with our stay here. We had 7 adults and 5 kids and had plenty of space. The activities were endless- pool, ping pong, darts, pool, bocce, horseshoes, hot tub...and there was even a little fort in the backyard. The beach, although not a great swimming one, was right around the corner. The area is great with good food and beaches nearby. Not listed but present during our stay- little potty seat for kids, beach chairs, kid lifejackets, coolers, and beach umbrellas. All of these were a great bonus!

Great place for a family! We really enjoyed our time!

We stayed at Villa del Faro for seven days over Christmas 2022 & absolutely enjoyed our time there. I made a video tour of the property, but can't post the link here so search YouTube for "Villa del Faro Video Tour". The property has the old Baja feel to it. When you walk though the front gate, you immediately feel it with the lush green plants & plenty of shade. Very relaxing space at the pool & the outdoor kitchen. We cooked & only used the outdoor kitchen & the nearby outdoor dining table. There are six bedrooms but only showers in two of the rooms. The other four bedrooms happily used the outdoor shower “room” that is by the swimming pool. Driving in to town to one of the mercados or Baja Beans is a quick easy trip. Villa del Faro was calming, peaceful and quintessential Baja. I was the most relaxed I’ve been in years & years, happily living on Baja Time. I’ve been going to Baja for over 40+ years & nothing has touched my soul as much as this home has. A treasured find!

Awesome spot. We will be back for sure! Thanks for everything — we had a blast!

Amazing location, amazing hospitality, amazing amenities. We travelled to David's location with my brother and his family. There were 7 of us in total on this trip and we had plenty of space with space left over! We were originally supposed to be 9 and we would have still had more than enough rooms, beds, and space for all of us. The outdoor space is so amazing! The waterslide and amazing pool kept the kids busy every day, in addition to the ping pong table, bocce ball court, horse shoes, trampoline, and hot tub. Not to mention, we were a very quick walk off of one of the best beaches I have ever been on. The 3+ mile stretch of beach was almost empty every day and the sand is gorgeous. The waves were pretty big but an experienced wave rider can definitely get some good play time in them. One of the highlights of our trip was Dellfina. We asked her to cook a couple of meals for us during our stay and she hit it out of the park! I definitely recommend this service. She and her helper, Hugo, are amazing cooks! They presented everything beautifully and it all tasted delicious! She even accommodated our picky eaters! We experienced some personal difficulties while we were there and David could not have been more helpful and supportive. I am thankful that he was available to assist us and am in debt to David for his gracious support. Something of note, this location is a bit remote. So be prepared to grocery shop on your way so that you have everything you need. The town of Todos Santos is not too far and is really cute with some small restaurants and shops, (and an excellent medical facility) but it is good to be well stocked! I highly, highly recommend this location for families. You won't be disappointed!

If you have a large group, I highly recommend staying at the Dome House. So much to do both on and off the property. So peaceful and beautiful. We got to see whales breaching and turtles hatching. Great place to vacation for our teenage boys. Fun surfing 5 minutes away at Cerritos. Todos Santos is a beautiful town with a rich history and only 15 minutes away. Also, if you don’t feel like cooking or going out, you can have meals cooked for you and brought in. I can’t say enough about this place. We all wished we could stay longer

David’s house was amazing! It had everything you could want for a family to do right on the premises. Most of the family was in the pool or playing one of the many games available throughout the day. Just a quick walk to the beach or 5 minute drive over to Cerritos Beach (less rough) and about 10 to Todos Santos...this house is in a great location. And did I mention the sunsets?! They were spectacular from the house and beach. Troy, the house keeper, lives right next door and was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely be returning!!

We cannot recommend this place enough! We had a group of 12 people spanning 4 generations and everyone from the youngest to the oldest were raving about the house the whole trip (or as the youngest kept screaming, "This is the best house ever!!!!"). For being a vacation rental, the service goes well above and beyond. Troy, the groundskeeper who lives onsite, was attentive to everything and kept the house running smoothly. The pool got a little murky while we were there from having so many people in it and he had the pool guy out in less than 24 hours to fix it. We briefly ran out of water in the cisterns (due to the pool guys using too much of it) and in less than two hours, he had a water truck there filling it up! Troy checked in regularly to make sure everything was going ok and to see if we needed anything... He also offered some great local knowledge of places to go and things to see throughout the trip. Take advantage of his knowledge! I also highly recommend having Maite cook for your group for at least one meal. She prepared dinner for us the first night, the last night, and breakfast the last morning before we had to leave and every meal only seemed to get better! She is a great cook and the value of having that first and last meal ready to go is worth every penny! The house itself has a design that lends itself to entertaining a large group... From the pool with a super fun slide and hot tub to the many patio games (ping pong, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoes), to the many private nooks that allow you to have some quiet time if you prefer. The rooms were all very comfortable with their own bathrooms (no showers except one), cold A/C (although we really didn't need it most of the time), and clean and comfortable beds. The location is just as great as the rest of it. A short walk from the house and you're at the beach. Everyone in our group, from the 4-year old to the 83-year old, were able to make the walk easily, although you can drive if you like. We tried our hand at surf fishing from the beach but the water was still a little too cold for the fishing action to pick up. The air temperature was amazing (low 80's pretty much everyday) and was about 20° cooler than Cabo and La Paz. It was conveniently located right between Cerritos Beach and Todos Santos. The town of Pescadero itself had quite a bit to offer, with the coffee shop, Baja Beans, being a part of the morning routine for several in our group. Most people in the area speak English. While the roads can be rough in areas, we were able to get around just fine in a mini van and a suburban (no 4x4 needed). All in all, it was a great trip with a great house! We will definitely be coming back again and again and again!
