Private Beachfront House with Heated Pool in Quaint Coastal Town

This adorable 3-bedroom, 2-bath beachfront casa is on one of the nicest sand beaches in all of the East Cape. Snorkel, kayak, fish and relax right out front, or lie with a beverage by the heated pool. Think privacy, peace, elbow-room, tranquility and immediate access to the two main reasons you are coming here - the Sea of Cortez and the beach! Oh yeah, and the heated pool!

Casa Ventanas del Mar is located on the edge of the quaint town of El Cardonal, about 30 minutes north of Los Barriles. El Cardonal boasts three very good restaurants, a few small markets, one charming sports bar that serves great drinks and pizza, and one small locally owned hotel. Other than that, it's sand and crystal blue water!

The house is located on the southern end of a beautiful stretch of white sand beach. With nearly 200 feet of beach frontage and a kilometer long undeveloped arroyo to our south, you will have a lot of space and privacy all to yourselves! Watch for whales in the winter and spring, dolphins and jumping manta rays year round! The large heated pool has a big patio surrounding it for relaxing, reading a book, enjoying a cocktail or staring at the ocean. Or if you are a swimmer, you can swim laps in the 40 meter long pool.

Casa Ventanas del Mar offers ample space for 1-2 families or 2-3 couples to enjoy. The master bedroom boasts unbelievable views of the beach and Sea of Cortez. It features a queen bed and en suite bathroom with shower. The second queen bedroom opens up to the pool and patio area and features a queen bed and direct access to the shared 2nd bathroom and the interior courtyard. The third bedroom is also accessed from the internal courtyard and features a set of queen bunk beds.

Casa Ventanas del Mar has a beautiful kitchen and living area with endless views of the beach, pool and ocean. The living area features a 14' palapa ceiling and opens up to the expansive outdoor patio and pool area. The dining room table seats 6 comfortably with additional seating available at the kitchen's bar top. The pool area features "Las Ventanas del Mar" - windows to the ocean. In the winter, the wall and window shades provide wind protection to allow enjoyment of the pool and patio even on the windiest of Baja winter days.

Additional Amenities:
1 double sit on top kayak
3 single sit on top kayaks
2 SUPs
Snorkel gear
Various beach and pool toys
Nice queen air mattress and two comfortable single cots for added sleeping options

Important Notes:
Heating the Pool is an Additional Cost. While most properties charge a substantial upcharge, we only charge you for your actual propane usage. This allows you to chose the temperature you would like us to set the thermostat at. The cost varies substantially based on time of year, ambient temperature, wind conditions, the temperature you would like the pool to be set and the diligence in which you keep the pool covered when not in use. It could run between $10-$75 per day once you achieve your desired temperature. We do require a heating deposit equal to $150 for the first night and $75 for each additional night of your reservation. This would typically be marginally above what it would cost to heat the pool to the high 80s during our winter windy season. We return any unused portion of the deposit after you check out.

Great place, relaxing
Our kids loved it, and so did we. The place came exactly as advertised. Highlights included some snorkeling right out front and see some small fish close to shore, kayaking and seeing the sunrise right from our room.

Paradise Getaway
What a wonderful stay in this beautiful home in the charming little town of El Cardonal. This was the most well-appointed rentals we have ever experienced. The owners thought of everything, from a full kitchen, soup, detergent, towels, first aid kit, etc. (the list goes on). The home is absolutely charming, with a Mexican flare that made it feel like home. We cannot say enough about the amazing communication between the owner and the property manager, Manuel. Top notch from the very beginning. Thank you so much for making our family trip so memorable. We hope to be back again soon!

A perfect place in a chill beach town.
This is the second year in a row that we've stayed in El Cardonal at Las Ventanas. The experience was even better the second time. This is a great spot for our two families (2 x 10 y/o and a 13 y/o): great pool and very clean and private grounds. All the toys you need are there. Even though we had primarily windy days, the wall protecting the pool made swimming comfortable. Upgrades to the mattresses in the bunk beds and the dishwasher were appreciated. The property manager can arrange anything you need. A new sushi restaurant in El Cardonal is excellent and La Dona just a 5 min drive is all you need for food. We enjoyed everything and consider this the perfect spot for a family getaway.

This is a wonderful house on a beautiful beach in a very small uncrowded area. The pictures and reviews do not due it justice. Views from every room, wonderful layout, and kitchen has everything. The host and his local assistant very available and helpful. Yes, it really is a lap pool! Its a large spread out property with lots of space and privacy in the bedrooms. The kayaks and stand up paddleboards are very good quality. Amazing and restful! Wish we could have stayed longer. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks!!!

Quiet, peaceful getaway on beach
Beautiful surroundings, quiet, relaxing sleepy town. Beach is private and right out front. Mostly calm waters if not too windy. Loved seeing and hearing manta rays and whales! Good restaurants nearby. Friendly locals. Bedrooms were private and comfortable. Easy to travel with family. Easy to get to from airport. Nice view from main area. The decorations and tiling in the house are very pretty. Courtyard was nice as was rooftop for stargazing. Property manager easy to get in touch with. Dishwasher leaked during stay and he promptly arranged for plumber to fix. Would give 5 stars if deferred maintenance were improved overall. The pool heater broke prior to arrival but could not be fixed for our use while we were there. Pool was about 65 degrees so too cold to swim. Power went out for a few hours as expected but back up power did not work as described so there was no running water at all as this requires a pump. Not a huge issue to be without electricity for a few hours but no running water is tough.

Casa Las Ventana was better than we thought it might be
The bedrooms are quite separated so there are as a lot of privacy! We choose to have the pool which was a great decision. We have stayed at other properties on the Baja and the pools were not heated and not enjoyable. Needless to say, we spent a great deal of time on the beautiful patio and in the pool! The wind shades were very nice to have to cut down on the wind and keep it warmer on the patio. The rooftop landed another take on the property, as you could see the layout of El Cardonal and the ocean. We saw a hump back whale and baby, some orcas and the manta rays added too! We rented ATVS from Sergio in Los Barriles. Pretty much spent some time on them everyday! The ocean was warm enough to do some incredible snorkeling. Andy and Samuel were quick to respond in reserving Casa Las Ventana and once we arrived. Samuel was quick to respond on Easter morning when I locked us out of the main house! You will not be disappointed with your stay in El Cardonal at Casa Las Ventanas!

Amazing Property and Perfect Experience
We traveled with a group of 7 and stayed for over a week. The property is beautiful, and incredibly well stocked with everything a traveler might need. We have stayed at VRBO properties throughout the Latin American world, and this was the best, without question. The pool was beautiful and our kids from 2 to 14 loved it, the beach access was perfect. The kitchen had every tool and pan we needed to cook for the week. Spices and other nice touches were abundant. Snorkeling gear, ample lounge areas, kayaks, beautiful lighting, comfortable beds and everything that we could come up with made this experience the best. The landscaped interior courtyard was a magical place to spend time. The dark, sparkling sky and crescent moon viewed at night from the top deck made for memorable evenings, and even convinced some of our crew to leave their wonderful beds and sleep for a bit under the stars. We hope to be back in the future to enjoy it all again. We need to provide special thanks to Samuel, who is the property manager in El Cardonal. His response time to questions was amazing, and he was perfectly helpful at all times. A person like that who is only moments away from a rental house makes everything easier for everyone. Additionally, there are fishing guides that live next door, and we were able to walk right down the beach to a guided trip with no travel needed. The fresh Bonito was some of the best tuna we have ever had. Thanks to all for working together to make for a memorable week!

Tranquility in Baja
We were seeking a quiet respite from a hectic 2 year pandemic. Tranquility found in El Cardonal! This town has the basics. You'll find beer, beans, and snacks at the bodegas in town. There are a couple of great little restaurants and one classic gringo gathering spot within a long walk, or quick drive. More than anything, El Cardonal lacks any crowds. It's a simple place for simple activities. The people are friendly, the property manager was excellent, and with a little planning, it's easy to just stay here for a few days between trips to the 'city' of Los Barilles.

Breathtaking
The house is stunning with a great layout. The three bedrooms open onto a lovely courtyard. The dining area, kitchen, and family room all face the cactus garden and beach. The area is tranquil and provided a quiet sanctuary. Trips to San Jose del cabo and La Paz were launched from here.
