Amazing jewel

This is a lovely self contained unit, on the outer edges of the community (quiet, and a short drive to town). Within walking distance of the beach. Great hosts

John and Camilla were welcoming, helpful, prompt on replies and super nice. There place had the most wonderful view of yhe ocean and sunrise and was only a very short walk to the beach. We definitely recommend going out in their kayaks - we saw whales and mobulas rays and lots of colorful fish! Highly recommend their place, but recommend renting a quad to make it easier to travel the short distance to Los Barriles

Sweet casita, terrific views.

Unusual but very sweet 2-story casita. Sliding doors on both levels open out to views southeast over the Gulf; sunrises particularly gorgeous. Great base for exploring Baja Sur in multiple directions. A number of restaurants in town with tasty Mexican food. Overall a great find; helpful and friendly owners in adjacent home.

Private getaway with Gorgeous Views

The hosts were excellent! Went above & beyond, even offering to help when we got sick! The views did not disappoint and the 1 bedroom, with private bath and separate downstairs kitchen/sitting area was all appointed very BaJa style…. Which was perfect! Had everything you would want in a home away from home 🏡

Quaint, charming and tranquil. Renting a quad important, made for a lot of adventure and easy to drive to restaurants . We were able to drive to Tres Palmas pickleball resort right down the road and watch the championship matches. Quadding on the beach was fun and a led us to get closer to the Kite Boarding enthusiasts. It was a great time for us. John was especially helpful with any questions I had. .

We came for lessons at Exotikite in Los Barriles and picked this place for the quiet location. We loved the beautiful ocean view and spectacular sunrises, and being in walking distance to the beach. We swam at the beach in the evenings and loved having it mostly to ourselves. John was very responsive and welcoming, he gave us valuable information and recommendations. The stay felt safe and private and we loved the super quiet dark nights sleeping with open windows, no need for A/C when we were there in February. The place was equipped with all necessities, bedding was nice. For water sports the location was not convenient because the conditions changed often and the drive into town was over 10 minutes, but we still enjoyed our vist and loved staying at this unique place.

Sea Breezes and Kayaks

This Casita was very clean and welcoming with huge widows that let in sea breezes and lots of light. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the outside tables and had breakfast outside everyday. The kayaks were taken to the beach so all we had to do was walk a short distance and hop in for a fun paddle around the bay. We enjoyed calm seas so paddled every morning. There is a beautiful coral reef right off shore where we saw lots of colorful fish from the kayaks.

Charming Los Barriles guest house

The tower is adjacent to a beautiful larger home overlooking Turtle cove 3 KM north of Los Barriles. It is perfect for a couple and is in a quiet residential area with easy access to the beach. We enjoyed using the kayaks and snorkeling. There is a wonderful pickle ball facility only 5 minutes away. Our favourite restaurant for dinner was La Casita. Theresa is a wonderful caretaker of the property. The sunrises and sunsets are a wonderful feature as the property is high above the Sea of Cortez.

Pretty place in a great location

Location, location, location are the strongest points of this vacation spot. As advertised it is just a 3 minute walk down a scenic path to a virtually deserted stone beach - where the snorkeling is excellent. We really appreciated the kayaks provided - they were great for touring and/or fishing. The nearby coast road is a great place for a twilight walk or morning jog or bike ride. The nights can be quiet enough that you can hear the owls hooting in the nearby desert - but the quiet was unfortunately often interrupted for long stretches by a chorus of barking dogs. The clear desert air and absence of street lights makes for incredible star gazing. The house and its location are very pretty however the furnishings provided in the "Tower" are basic at best. The caretaker (Teresa) was very pleasant and helpful.

Cozy and comfortable

John's "tower" rental is a nice little spot for a single or couple The second story is the bed/bath with a comfortable king size bed and ac. The lower level is the kitchen/sitting area without ac. If you close the shades around 9am but keep the sliders open it never gets too hot in the kitchen. In the evening a beautiful breeze comes down from the hills to cool things off. Sitting on the veranda in the evening with a cool beverage, the mountain breeze at your back, and watching the Sea of Cortez is a great way to end a day of exploring. There is great snorkeling within walking distance of the house, and even better snorkeling a short ride north of town. The fishing is awesome, and there are plenty of charter captains that charge very reasonable prices. Los Barilles is a wonderful little town with some great restaurants/bars, a nice little market and friendly people. I always feel safe here, even riding home at night. The only thing missing is a good propane grill or wood oven, I missed being able to cook outdoors. If you plan to use the kayaks for fishing you had better make other plans. Neither kayak is really equipped for fishing and the bigger of the two is missing the backrest, rigging and rod holder. They are fine for a quick paddle but not any serious fishing or touring. I believe you can rent a kayak at the hotel in town or down at Rancho Leonero. I fished one day with Francisco, his wife Teresa takes care of the house, and we caught some nice yellow fin tuna and dorado...YUM! She will even prepare a gourmet meal for you at a very reasonable price if you don't like to cook. I plan to come back to this spot as soon as possible, Baja is awesome!

The property is beautiful, with wonderful views and fantastic aesthetics! Definitely as advertised.

The Casita was wonderful and perfect for the two of us on our mini second honeymoon. One amazing part of this rental not emphasized enough is the view and beauty of the sunrise as you're waking up. You can watch the ocean and skies transform from your pillow! Very close to town although we recommend something more durable than our VW Vento... The beach was within walking distance and had a variety of fish right there waiting for us. We had very pleasant experiences with neighbors and enjoyed the views and the area in general. The walk in showers and stone outdoor tub allowed for some relaxation and enjoyment. The only thing we would change was the firmness of the bed. However, our friends and family had the same experience, so it may be a Mexico thing to have a firm mattress.

Magnifique!

Nous avons passé deux semaines extraordinaires à la tour Rapunzel. Tout était conforme à la description et même plus! John réponds rapidement à nos courriels et intervient .Le wifi est rapide même sur les terrasses avec nos tablettes en admirant ce paysage grandiose. nous avons beaucoup aimé la chambre au 2 ème avec le lit king. Quelle surprise se lever avec le son des vagues et la vue du soleil sur la mer avec un ciel tout bleu... Spendide! Si on a d'autres questions Theresa vient faire son tour discrètement, et réponds à nos demandes. Elle est vraiment sympa et souriante! Los Barriles est une ville pittoresque où il fait bon se promener en vtt.. on a eu la chance d'avoir celui de John, on a eu beaucoup de plaisir à se promener partout. Il faut absolument se rendre à Punta Pescadero Paradise.. tout près sur le bord de la mer, un petit coin de paradis. Nous avons adoré notre séjour .. tout un dépaysement qu'on n'oubliera jamais!! We really appreciate! We enjoyed our stay. John is very nice, helpful and accommodating. We hope to come back, Thank you John

Casita!

Wonderful stay, nice quiet location. Sound does echo from the main house quite a bit, so you can hear the neighbors, but overall we were out of the house adventuring so much it didn't matter. John was extremely helpful, and prompt with communication. He provided a whole list of recommendations prior to our trip, which was excellent for a first time visit. We saw Theresa daily when she stopped by to check on the house, she was very kind, helpful and an excellent cook! The atv was a little older so took some work to get started in the morning, but once it was running it worked great. Overall the casita is wonderful, with a beautiful sunrise view, and we look forward to working w John again.

Awesome property, great location, great owner

Just minutes outside Los Barriles proper, we stayed in the smaller casita of the Ford's, called Rapuzel's Castle. Beautiful, small and away from it all, a wonderful place for 2 looking to get away from it all. Located on a small hill overlooking the Sea of Cortez, this place has it all (which also means no TV- you won't need it with wifi access). Here's another hint, the housekeeper Theresa will cook you dinner too, as long as you arrange it ahead of time. She is a wonderful cook! Finally, I dealt with John Ford on numerous occasions via phone and email, and he was always accessible and extremely responsive to whatever questions/requests I had. A really nice guy to deal with! My wife and I loved the place and would most certainly rent off of John again. The experience couldn't have been better! Thanks John!

Amazing

We had the pleasure of staying in the casita for two weeks in May. There are so many good things to say about it, I'll do my best to summarize. First of all the access to the water is unbelievable. If you are like us and just love the ocean and all it has to offer, this is ideal. It is a 4 minute walk, down a dirt road to the crystal blue waters of the Sea of Cortez. I would start my day with a morning swim along the coast, and as I swam along, I saw all kinds of fish as well as rays, it was unbelievable. There are two small reefs right off the beach that are great for snorkeling. One of the highlights was the leaping Mobula Rays, which you can watch from the balcony on the casita or up close an personal in a kayak. Having access to the kayaks was wonderful, we were able to paddle up and down the beach, finding different places to explore as well as paddling out and watching the leaping Mobula Ray show. The town of Los Barilles is wonderful, very low key and peaceful, with many good restaurants. Our two favorites were Piscis (next to Chapitos back alley parking area) and Cafe Maria (a bit tricky to locate, but there is a review on trip adviser that gives directions). We rented ATV's from Quadman and had great experiences exploring the arroyos and traveling along the road to Punta Pescadero (which has amazing snorkeling). Also took a trip to Cabo Pulmo for a dive adventure. Dove with Cabo Pulmo Diving (Pilu is wondeful), which was fantastic. Other than that, you can enjoy the solitude Los Barilles has to offer, it was a memorable and relaxing two week stay.

Amazing Views

The tower is a cozy one bedroom unit with amazing views of The Sea of Cortez and the mountains, the morning sunrise and night stars are a great way to wake up and retire at night. The property caretakers Theresa and Fredrico are wonderful people, make sure to book a days fishing with Fredrico and have Theresa cook you a authentic Mexican meal, which was enough for two dinners for us (her homemade flan is to die for). We rented a side by side quad from Quadman for our stay instead of a car, had a blast driving the beach and exploring the area.

Great Place to Stay

We rented the tower, but we were offered the main house, so first of all, it was quite a deal. The house was easy to find and only a 7 minute drive out of town. It was a very short walk to the beach and I made a lot of use of the Kayak, which was included with the rental. The woman who watches the place stopped by most days and was very helpful. All descriptions in the add were very accurate. One point I would add to their description. The nearby beach is somewhat rocky. We like to sit on the beach and swim, so we prefer a more sandy beach. If you go to the gas station just south of town and look across the street, there is a short road next to an rv park that goes to a wonderful sandy beach that is perfect for swimming, and has palapas for shade. Also, there is a wonderful little roadside shack restaurant just north of the gas station that had wonderful food, and much cheaper than the restaurants in town.

Lovely, peaceful retreat!

Rapunzel's Tower was a delight. Just far enough from town to be quiet, but close enough to easily bicycle in. (Bicycles thoughtfully provided! :-)) The views are incredible and the property itself is gorgeous. We snorkeled off the beach right below the house and it was fabulous. Then we took some of John and Camilla's advice and drove to another beach just a bit further up the coast. It was even more perfect and completely deserted on the day we were there. Barilles is a great little town, particularly if you like seafood with your margaritas. We loved everything about our stay and will be back as soon as we can!

Tranquil

My wife and I spent two weeks here for our honeymoon. The weather was quite warm. We usually went for a swim in the morning and the evening and spent the hottest part of the day either napping in the air conditioned bedroom, or driving into town for lunch. We had a great time and wish we could have doubled the length of our trip!
