4BR Home in Tourist Corridor

Excellent, 1 month ago

This accommodation is very beautiful. The house is super comfortable, facing the ocean, with a heated jacuzzi, a well-equipped kitchen, about 2 hours from Los Cabos, with everything you need to enjoy yourself. Just keep in mind that the Wi-Fi doesn't reach the secondary rooms, but there is good coverage in the main room and the rest of the house. My family loved the place.

Don and Carla. As we are set to leave Casa Marlin Azul here in the next hour, I wanted to say thank you. Beautiful home and location. The best part was Diana. She was such a huge help. We appreciated her very much. And although sea sickness cut out fishing trip with Victor short, I could really tell that he wanted us to catch fish so badly. Everyone here is wonderful. Best first experience in this area ever.

Inta, we greatly appreciated your visit and your family. Everyone was so enjoyable to serve. We hope to see you again one day.

Wow wow wow. I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect place for our two families of four to stay. The house is gorgeous with a beautiful open layout and easy access to cook and grille on the patio with a view of the sea. The beach is virtually empty with calm clear blue water perfect for children. The pool is beautifully maintained and you can watch the sky become streaked with pink over the desert as the sun sets. We were even visited by wild horses one night. And Don and Diana were incredibly responsive and hospitable. The two nearby towns are fairly accessible -- La Ribera has roaming donkeys and chickens and Los Barriles has great beachfront restaurants and little tourist shops. My only hope is that this little part of the world stays peaceful and quaint for our future visits. It was an unforgettable week.

Kristen, I'm so glad that you and your family and friends enjoyed our home. I think your review captures the good energy we all feel when we are there. I wish you great luck in your future(s) and hope you come back again one day.

Don and Carla’s Casa Marlin Azul home was pure paradise. What a glorious spot. Stunning views directly on the beach. It was a fun and super relaxing time for 4 gals escaping the gray days of the Pacific NW. Don and Carla and local hosts, Hector and Diana were a great help in organizing the airport shuttle and also setting us up with a rental car which was delivered to the house. We did have our airport shuttle driver stop for us to pick up groceries and alcohol near airport before we headed to the beach house so we didn’t have to leave later to get provisions. Waking up to morning coffee on the patio and then walks along the deserted beach, pure nirvana. The beach is pristine and very swimmable. The house is in a beautiful, quiet but growing neighborhood, close to La Ribera and about 25 minutes from the sweet town of Los Barriles. The house was super clean with everything we needed. We used the kayaks and the pool. We loved star gazing from the wonderful hot tub at night. Thank you!

Patti, we are humbled by your praise. I will say that Diana and Hector are both special and excellent people and very helpful, and I’m glad that as a team we could make your stay a good one. We hope you return one day.

This house was absolutely amazing. La Ribera is a gem. We had an incredible time, felt safe and had a trip of a lifetime with our two sons 10 and 12. The house had everything you need and is really beautiful. Our boys loved playing pool and I even took pictures of all the rugs because they were all so beautiful. We hope to come back to this magical place. Diana the house manager was amazing and very responsive . Everything was easy and done well. We hired her to cook a dinner for us our last night. and it was the best meal of our whole trip! It was windy and the water was choppy... but We rented a 4 seater ATV from Quad girls that was delivered to the house and drove up the royo to Santiago and la cascada de mayo. It was incredible. I am so greatfullfor the time we were just able to give in this home. Thanks Don and Carla.

Don's place is much more than I originally thought, not only the beautiful house but also especially the communication with Don and Carla. Since it was the first time to visit Mexico and I was orgnizing all the things, including rental car and travel to La Paz for my whole family, it was full of fear about the security and things I should be aware of. Don and Carla provided all the tips and advices that I need, which was crucial for my trip. Thank you, Don and Carla. Of course Diana who locally helped all the things I need.

Heeyong, I enjoyed our conversation and am so glad you enjoyed our home. I’m glad you found Mexico’s East Cape to be safe wonderful. The earth and sea in our area is full of “good energy!”

This was an incredible stay. The house is truly incredible. It had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable, it was beautiful. The kids loved the pool, the beach right outside the house was deserted and calm. Waking up to a morning swim on a beach I had to myself was something else entirely. There was a working desk that I was able to use for work (as well as a printer, but I didn’t try it). The WiFi was good enough to take several work calls, and worked both inside and outside the house (on the patio). There’s a pool table that we enjoyed (surprise!) and though we never came around to use the kayaks the paddle board was super fun. We are 100% going to need to come back for a longer stay. We’ve had to move on to our next adventure for this trip, but are sad we allocated so little time to this little patch of paradise. Also, Don/Carla were super responsive and friendly throughout. We’ve stayed in tons of Airbnbs over the years, this is easily in our top 2
