Casa Rodriguez

Fully staffed luxury villa is great for fishing, dessert exploration, snorkeling and wildlife! On the East Cape, life is about connections, friends, family and living each day in the exquisite beauty of desert and mountains meeting the sea. Even if you are not a photographer, be sure to bring your camera. With the abundant culture and nature around, there will be plenty ways to create memories to last a lifetime.

The space The harmonious blend of house and seascape is unparalleled in this sweeping six-bedroom home. From the palapa shaded swim-up bar stretching out to the infinity pool, the azure blue waters seem to touch the open sea only a short distance away. The entire home opens up to wide terraces and private balconies with unending views of Picasso skylines. The onsite staff and daily housekeeping ensure your stay is effortless relaxation.

An Infinity pool looks over the clear blue waters of the sea with an adjacent palapa housing a swim up bar, BBQ and providing soft shade. Casa Rodriguez was crafted to bring the outer beauty in with sliding glass doors that can be pushed aside to open the entire front of the house. Each bedroom also has glass double doors that open up to a large second floor terrace with sweeping views of painted sky touching the mountains in the distance. All details have been considered including six bedrooms and six and half bathrooms to offer families and groups privacy and space to relax. The large master suite tubs surrounded by shuttered windows letting in the soft light of evening is the perfect way to unwind or curl up in a large rattan chair in the open air living room to watch the sunset.

With a private beach entrance, you can lounge on powdery sands and snorkel directly in front of the house, or to get a little sun and a stretching view of the shoreline, take out one of the sea kayaks for an early morning paddle. For further exploration, you can charter the Casa Rodriguez fishing boat and head out to open waters for some deep swimming and big game fishing.

One of the benefits of living or vacationing by the ocean is the ability to catch your dinner! Whether you are an avid fisherman or a novice with a surf rod on the shore, the fishing at Casa Rodriguez is spectacular, to say the least. Located directly on the beach by El Cardonal, the plunder of the Sea of Cortez is yours if you are up for the challenge. The area is known for world-class sportfishing and big game, especially when you’re offshore!

However you choose to spend your time, The Villa will fully satisfy your vacation desires and is sure to leave you a little awestruck. Be sure to check us out online at eastcapevilla for more information about things to do!

El Cardonal on the east coast of the Baja is not where you go to have just another Mexican beach vacation. This is where you come when you want perfection. Casa Rodriguez delivers nothing less, sitting directly on flaxen sands overlooking the pristine Sea of Cortez. Everything around you is nature’s optimum in tranquility, and this home was designed with that in mind. Embracing modern amenities and luxury comfort, the property still maintains a harmonious balance with the nature around it.

Guest access Our business manager, Samuel, is your local concierge, greeting you at the property and assisting you with any special requests or desires during your stay.

Other things to note Casa Rodriguez is fully staffed with English/Spanish speaking locals. Our concierge, Samuel is available to help arrange any activities or catering requests at no additional cost. He is also a great resource for special requests.

Vicente will be your onsite caretaker as well as your boat captain for all sea fishing and visual tours of the gulf. Lupita (Vicente's Daughter) will take care of all your daily house cleaning needs (including dish washing!).

Our recommended van service provider, Homar will happily transport you to and from the airport ($300 round trip) and day trips around the East Cape area. His vans can accommodate all of your guests as they arrive and travel. If you're not using Samuel's grocery pick up service, we recommend stoping at Chapitos, a large grocery store, in Los Barrilles - on your ride from the airport to Casa Rodriguez. Let Homar know ahead of time that you'd like to stop there to pick up groceries for the house (there may be a small additional charge).

If you would like to arrange catered meals, Samuel can help you to arrange it on request. Our local eateries offer traditional Mexican platters from the region as well as mouthwatering steaks, succulent shrimp and lobster plates and a variety of fresh seafood. Your meals will be prepared to your specifications and priced accordingly (approx $18 - 22 per person, per meal). There is always plenty of left overs to snack on later in the day. We do not allow local chefs to prepare food in our home. All food must be prepared and cooked at restaurant and brought to Casa Rodriguez for serving. Mariachi entertainment can also be arranged upon request.

During the day, there are a variety of activities directly out your front door. The sea is very calm and has a soft sand entrance. You can spend your time floating in the clear, salty water or using one of the property’s three sea kayaks, four paddleboards or multiple snorkel sets. The local sea life is magical, and only a short walk down the beach, you will find a living reef teeming with tropical fish. If you want to go out further and try your hand at catching a sailfish, tuna, rooster fish, or even a marlin, let Vicente know to prepare his fishing boat, "Caterino" Think what you could have for dinner!

Vicente is the grounds keeper for Casa Rodriguez in El Cardonal, but he is also a legendary boat captain who grew up fishing the waters of the East Cape. A day out on the boat with him as your guide, you are sure to come back with plenty of fresh fish for dinner and most likely lunch too! $400 per day, per boat. Half day is $300 per day.

With your line in the water you will have the opportunity to wrestle the massive big fish the East Cape is known for, so be prepared for the workout. They put up a good fight!

Fishing on a kayak directly from the house has yielded many guests some great catches. Fishing from the shore is fantastic as well.

Don't forget to ask about the collection of games and beach toys we have available for guest use!!

**There is an additional cost to heat the pool and outdoor salt bath. $2,000 minimum for week of pool heat, each additional day is $250 $100 per day for heated outdoor salt bath. Please note that heated salt bath does not have jets.
