• Queen bedroom

The Space

Casa Circo was custom-built in 2020 as our family home, where we lived for four years with our young boys and rescue dogs. We are now pleased to welcome visitors to enjoy the home as much as our family has. We can also connect you with a local dog rescue if you are interested in bringing a dog home with you. We have three rescue dogs ourselves.

Casa Circo offers an indoor-outdoor living experience, with as many outdoor seating and play areas as indoor spaces. Guests can enjoy:

• Heated or cooled pool
• Outdoor tables and couches
• Multiple patios
• Fully fenced play area for children and adults
• Air conditioning with a mini-split unit in each main space
• Large smart television
• Comfortable couch
• Full kitchen with an extra-large counter
• Colorful, playful decor

The home is designed to be as child- and pet-friendly as possible, with plenty of concrete surfaces and stain-resistant furnishings. Our goal is for you to relax and enjoy your stay.

A separate office includes two desk spaces, air conditioning, a fan, and views. It is possible to work while enjoying your vacation.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The primary bedroom is located on the upper level and features:

• Large closet
• Walk-in shower
• Double sink
• Views of the surrounding area
• Brand-new king-size mattress
• Private balcony with a daybed overlooking Cerritos

The two smaller bedrooms open directly onto the pool deck and extended patio. They share a bathroom with a bathtub. The tub is suitable for a shallow bath for children, as the water supply does not support filling it completely. Both rooms have ample closet space.

Sleeping arrangements include:

• One bedroom with a brand-new queen-size mattress
• One bedroom with a bunk bed featuring a full-size bed on the bottom and a twin-size bed on top
• Small couch that converts into an additional twin bed

Work and Laundry Facilities

Guests have access to a full-size front-loading washer and dryer. Please shake off sand before placing items in the machines.

A hot-water circulator is also installed.

Outdoor and Pool Safety

The pool does not have a gate. The railing is built in a local horizontal style and does not meet standard safety spacing requirements. Please consider this carefully when traveling with small children. Guests are responsible for safety during their stay.

Property Details

The property occupies half an acre.

The garage is locked and reserved for the owners’ use.

A separate casita is located at the end of the property. It is completely separate from the main home and has:

• A separate gated entrance
• A fully enclosed fence
• No shared spaces with the main house

The casita can be seen in the aerial photograph. Guests or friends may occasionally stay there during your visit. If you are interested in renting the casita for additional space and sleeping arrangements, please inquire.

The magic of Baja California Sur lies partly in its challenges. Leaving behind the conveniences and expectations of home allows you to slow down, appreciate what is truly important, and experience rural Mexico as it is rather than as you expect it to be.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire home and property, except for the locked garage, which is reserved for the owners’ use.

Important Information About the Area

We believe in setting realistic expectations for every guest. Please review the following details before booking.

• Driving at night can be dangerous because of cows on the roads and vehicles without headlights. Please drive slowly; these are not bandits.
• Most roads away from the main highway are unpaved, and roads throughout the area may have potholes and significant bumps.
• Many roads do not have street names, and homes may not have formal addresses. Please use the provided maps and conduct some research before arrival.
• Many businesses close around 9:00 p.m., sometimes referred to locally as “Baja midnight.”
• Buildings may leak during rain, and water can enter beneath doors depending on the amount of rainfall.
• The Cerritos area is a desert environment with ongoing development. You may encounter mice, lizards and gecko droppings, flies, gnats, ants, scorpions, mosquitoes, or, rarely, snakes.
• Dust is always present, regardless of how much we clean.
• Construction is rapidly expanding throughout the Cerritos area, so you may see or hear construction in the distance.
• The area is considered safe, but petty theft does occur. Please keep personal electronics out of sight when you are away from the home.
• We recommend purchasing travel insurance, as refunds cannot be provided for weather, nearby construction, or incidents related to rural Mexico.

Water and Electricity

All water is delivered by truck. Please conserve water during your stay and be patient if a refill is needed. We will arrange for the supply to be replenished.

Water availability is directly connected to electricity. The area occasionally experiences brief power outages or brownouts. We will work with the electric company to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.

Cleaning and Laundry Policy

A mid-stay cleaning is available for half price. Please schedule it in advance so we can coordinate appropriately.

We ask guests to care for Casa Circo as they would their own home. This is our home, not a hotel.

Casa Circo is set up exclusively as a vacation rental. It is not intended for cleaning out recreational vehicles or serving as a stopover for extended Baja travel. Laundry related to a longer trip should be handled off-site.

You may inquire before your stay about excess laundry or a vehicle cleanout. An exception may be approved with an additional water- and machine-use charge. If this is not disclosed before your stay, the charge will be applied through Airbnb.
