Casita de Luna - Beach 200 yards away, Stunning Views, Peace, Quiet and Nature

Stunning open views (no exaggeration) of the spectacular peaks of the 7000' Sierra Laguna Mountains and the wide open Pacific. Close enough to hear waves, as well as whales flapping tails. You don't even have to go down to the beach to enjoy it - the porch and roof-top terraza bring it to you. A private beach bungalow located in an undeveloped area just north of Todos, just 10 minutes from all the action downtown or 10 minutes walk to some local restaurants.

Located on over an acre and adjacent to 90 undeveloped acres of cactus forest, it's set back from main roads for security, privacy and NO road dust or traffic noise. We now have one neighbor close on our north side, but it's still an exceptionally peaceful location, a natural setting with open landscape. It is a spacious, smoke-free airy studio with wide windows facing incredible views in every direction, plus french doors that open to the ocean view. It's our home, not a separate guest house, so it has most items you need to live! No smoking on property please, inside or out without express permission by owner.

Sleep to the soothing sound of crashing surf and wake to cooing doves. You´ll love strolling along the empty, white sandy beach, watching the whales breaching right off shore. If you prefer birding, from your porch watch osprey perched in the old-growth cactus, resident baby quail or road-runners skittering around and cardinals and Orioles in the trees. feeding on the agave in the yard. Star gazing is a must. A very peaceful setting. Plus, it's green: partial solar for electricity and sink and shower water goes out to the garden - and we emphasize growing native, protected, water-conserving species in the garden.

The local 16% IVA Tax is included in the price and we have a Mexican business license to operate. We have security cameras installed on the outside of the house, but not on the west porch to protect your privacy.

Surfing, swimming, fishing, shopping, snorkeling, beach combing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, great dining are all available in the area. Todos Santos is an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, surfers, organic farmers, fishermen and rave-reviewed chefs that you'll want to try! Classes in Spanish, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, cooking, art, surfing and kayaking available. This interesting cultural blend provides a variety of interesting galleries, restaurants and eco-experiences to choose from. One of our favorites is helping release baby sea turtles back to the ocean in fall and winter, just up the beach from our casita. You can even volunteer to go out on ATV in middle of the night to recover turtle eggs from nests and help rebury them in the refuge green house.
