Betsy was an incredibly responsive host and has an gorgeous home in a perfect spot. The easy access to one of the best kitesurfing beaches in La Ventana was especially appreciated. Her home is unique and feels like a real home. A perfect place to spend time in the area.

Thank You Tom. Casa Suenos is my Mexico HOME. After living full time in Los Barriles, part time in El Sargento, I have maintained "home sweet home" since 2006 in Mexico. When I vacation I always want to feel at home. This is the highlight for me as an AirBnB Hostess!

Overall a lovely stay at Betsy's place! The house is very picturesque, with amazing views from the upstairs east-facing bedroom. Betsy provides everything you need - bedding, towels, kitchen appliances, etc. There's a couple quirks with the upstairs bedrooms, but nothing you can't find work-arounds for.

My family of 4 spent a week at Casas Sueños over the thanksgiving week. The house was way better in person than the photos show. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance you could dream. The house was comfortable, suoer hight quality and very thoughtful in design. Beds and linens were comfortable, and super sweet community with friendly neighbors. Can’t wait to return one day! Thank you!

Betsy’s Casa is a Diamond in the rough. Great location, great town, great house!! It’s far enough away from the tourist hot spots, but yet close enough to drive if you want to partake. The casa is clean, has all you may need and the ac will keep the place nice and chill in the heat of day! The best part about Casa Suenos is the owner! Betsy is wonderful with communication(prompt, efficient, and effective), great with any small issue that may arise, and goes out of her way to make sure your stay is as good as it can get. Can’t say enough about Betsy, and her Casa. If you’re wanting to stay in Baja California Sur, look no further and book now. You won’t be disappointed!!

Casa Suenos is a spectacular home with a stunning view of the water. The house is extremely well appointed with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We even took advantage of the Pizza Oven and had a make your own pizza night! Betsy is a fabulous host and very responsive and communicative. Would highly recommend this house for a very unique stay in La Ventana.
Host Response

Where do I start? It was a magical 5 days for the 3 of us. Even our 15 years old ,who’s usually a very critical teenager , said wow. The house is lovingly decorated. It was squeaky clean - literally sterile. The garden is beautiful. We were stargazing every evening. el sargento is a jewel! We’ve been to Baja before and liked it but el Sargento surprised us in a good way. Thank you Betsy! We are already making plans to visit you again!
Host Response
Thanks Roman for your review, I appreciate your kind words. It's always a pleasure to host guests at both of my homes, both being in magical locations, why I have chosen to be in paradise!!! It's unfortunate though my Thermador range oven was damaged and will have to be replaced if I can find one before the next guests check-in. More than a small feat.

Betsy's house was a true oasis! The house is a beautiful villa on the hillside in El Sargento with amazing views of the sea and the island. We lived here for multiple weeks and never found ourselves wanting of anything- the house is amazingly stocked and felt like a home. Betsy went above and beyond to help us before and during our trip and her communication was better than we've ever experienced with our many airbnb and vrbo experiences. All around a wonderful experience!

It’s our third time at Betsy’s place. What brings us back is how nicely the house is finished and how all the French doors let in the light and the breezes. The views are superb and you will enjoy the peace and quiet. I highly recommend having dinner cooked by Jorge’s wife. If you like to cook you will enjoy the well-appointee kitchen.
Host Response
Pam HELLO and thanks for your comments!!! The noise you heard is NOT a bird! Remember in the tropics we have Geckos? My first intro to them was on Maui staying at a friends...I could attempt to kill them however they supposedly eat insects? As for the mosquitos and flies, if there wasn't much wind then would make sense they'd be a nuisance as well as the fact we've had an incredibly WET Year beginning with last summer! Casa Suenos...the doors opening to the outside is lovely however without screens on doors and windows we have to wear repellant! I installed additional fan in kitchen, and use the floor fans to make a breeze to keep insects at bay when necessary! Glad you had a great time. I will hire Nancy to prepare something for me! They love coming for dinner always, SO MUCH FUN! Thanks again for staying with me and see you soon! Cheers!

There is a lot to discover around El Sargento and Betsy really gave us a lot of good contacts of people and places to go that proved out. We had a great time, and the house was great for our family. Waking up every morning with sun over the Ceralvos channel was magical.
Host Response
Wylie I am sooooooo HAPPY I was able to share those magical moments, my slice of paradise and all that goes with my Baja life! Please come back to discover more as the girls grow older! Til then...fair winds and following seas

We stayed here in 2017 and loved it so much that we came back in 2018. Betsy's house is beautiful and comfortable - love the French doors open to the breeze and we ate every meal on the covered patio. Outstanding views and peaceful. Topped it off with a meal cooked by Marina - fabulous and I am still missing that coconut flan.
Host Response
Pam thank you so much for returning to enjoy what we love in Baja! I am happy to hear your candid response, hope you will return again soon. I will be sure to have Marina and Jorge prepare a meal for me. Sounds decadent! One day I hope to meet you! Saludos, Betsy P. S. Jorge tells me your Spanish is excellent!

Jorge and Marina were available for us in case we needed something. The house is completely equiped, you dont need anything else, we even enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards on the beach. I wpuld definately return to Casa Sueños.

Betsy was an amazing host who offered much detail and local must-do's and even local hook-up for whatever your activities and interests.Casa Suenos is impeccably clean and furnished with such class and views you will want to return.

Casa Sueños is a work of art, designed to those within feel surrounded by the amazing location. The home is decorated and stocked with Betsy's beautiful treasures...clearly this is her home and not just a rental property. All of the items in the kitchen were nicer and more plentiful than I have at home, and everything else about the decor (bedding, towels, etc.) was truly top-of-the-line. We really enjoyed having coffee while listening to the satellite radio over the nice sound system. Betsy was super helpful and responsive from the start. The roads were nicely graded and fine for our little rental economy car. It's pretty rural, but with plenty of neighbors not too far away and just a mile or so to the grocery and another to "town". If you're there to kite, windsurf, or SUP, it's just a short drive to the Hot Springs launch site.

Our group of 5 really enjoyed Casa Suenos. This really is a dream home. It has fantastic views of ocean and mountains in a very quiet residential area of El Sargento, which we have learned is the kite surfing capitol of the world. Even if this is not your sport, its a lovely thing to watch from the pristine area beaches. The house itself has many unusual appointments, a suspended bed on nautical ropes!, facing the ocean view in a room where there are two walls of folding doors opening out on to a balcony adjacent a bougainvilla filled private second floor patio. The sunrise in the morning from the bed is amazing! You will feel like you are in a bird's nest. I could feel my soul returning to my body over the days I spent there. It is a restorative experience to sleep there. The kitchen is roomy and well appointed, with everything you could possibly need. We had Betsy's house caretaker cook for us a couple times and we dined like kings, especially after our fishing excursion where we took her advice and went with a real local fisherman as opposed to a standard tour. This house is beautifully furnished with great attention to aesthetic detail, comfort, and was extremely clean and well maintained inside and out. We had great internet service and TV ,plenty of hot water, and it accomodated five adults with no problem. Rental included kayaks but we never had time to use them. The landscaping and outdoor furniture really allowed us to enjoy the full potential of sunny Mexico.

Myself and my family had a wonderful time at Betsy's house. If you are familiar with La Ventana/ El Sargento then you wouldn't be surprised with the view or tempo.... it's the ambiance of betsey's place that will leave you wanting to extend your vacation. From the well crafted wooden Windows to the amazing decor and decoration, it truly makes the place memorable. Everything was set and ready perfectly got a vacation. *Special note; Cooks and Culinary Enthusiasts take note: Thermador stovetop Countertop coolers FULL copper cookset Blender, kitchen aid Ahem, well lit BBQ and cenote! (Wood fired oven) All the tools of the trade for culinary party time! Great stereo w/Sirius and good internet! You'll have a great memorable stay at Betsy's place, Por Seguro!
