About this property
Breathtaking! Luxury 1 Bed / 2 Bath Beach Home, Panoramic Deck View, Beach Front
Breathtaking! Luxury Beachfront Home; Huge Wrap Around Deck; Magnificent Views of the Sea of Cortez!
This gorgeous 1 bed, 2 bath beach front home is very spacious throughout and features a huge wrap-around deck that offers some of the most spectacular views that you’ll see anywhere. Floor to ceiling windows along the length of the deck allows in lots of natural light and adds to the welcoming feeling that you get as soon as you enter the front door, when your eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful Sea of Cortez.
There are few places in the world where the mountains meet the water in perfect harmony, as they do here. Situated on a beautifully pristine, natural turtle nesting beach cove, this beach front home is situated in what many consider to be the most desirable neighborhood in Los Barriles. Enjoy the brilliant Sea of Cortez sunrises and the amazing sunsets; relax as you barbeque and dine on your huge deck, under the star filled skies; and just feel the calm as you unwind from the hectic pace that you’ve left behind. You’ll marvel at the sight and sounds of breaching whales and the sting rays jumping out of the water to fly through the air; then “belly flopping” back into the water.
Amenities include a large master bedroom, with an ample walk-in closet and spacious bathroom & shower. There is also a sizeable guest bathroom, complete with a large shower, situated off the living room, and, a full-size laundry room with modern washer and dryer, ample shelving, folding area, etc. As well, Casa Tortuga boasts a full-size kitchen and dining area, along with a private courtyard area, and, along with all the other amenities listed below, yes, of course you’ll have complimentary wifi! Also, of more interest to some than to others, we realize, the gardens are professionally landscaped and regularly maintained.
Kite boarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, and snorkeling on a coral reef in safe, swimmable water is all within steps of your home. If your preference is to be on dry land, there are amazing hiking and biking trails nearby, ATV’s are available for rent in town, along with yoga and a new and well- equipped gym, to mention only some of the fun things that you can do. And, located about 1 ½ miles from Casa Tortuga is one of the very top attractions in the Baja, the new, world-class Tres Palapas Baja Pickleball Resort, featuring 10 excellent courts, with amazing amenities that includes a café and smoothie bar, a restaurant and rooftop bar.
A 45-minute drive north from the San Jose del Cabo airport gets you to the entrance of the Los Barriles, the quaint little town that is home to about 5,000 people; approximately ½ locals and ½ expatriates. Casa Tortuga is situated a little over 3 miles north of the center of town and is an easy ride to pick up fresh fruit & vegetables, grocery and beverage needs, and, a good variety of restaurants serving quality, delicious food.
Casa Tortuga is ideal for a couple. The property is not suitable for small children, given the proximity to the Sea of Cortez, coupled with the fact that there are some stairs on the property and the balconies have low or no railings. Please note, also, that this is a non-smoking property.
We look forward to welcoming you to Casa Tortuga!

The house was beautiful. Modern, had everything we needed. View is unbeatable. Loved the big back balcony with comfortable furniture. Easy access to the beach. Host was extremely helpful and prompt answering. Highly recommend
Absolutely incredible stay!Casa Tortuga exceeded our expectations. The unobstructed ocean views from almost every room were stunning. Very clean, peaceful, and relaxing. We loved having access to the kayaks — the water was perfect for kayaking and snorkeling, making our trip even more memorable.The home is very well stocked, with spacious rooms and plenty of comfortable outdoor space to enjoy. It also felt wonderfully private.One tip: we recommend arranging a ride from SJD and renting an ATV or side-by-side in LB— it made getting around much easier and added to the fun.
Lovely property and so well appointed. We love the area, but this location and property made it absolutely amazing and special. Immaculate location and wonderful hosts!
Loved everything about our stay. House is beautiful. Location is great. View is amazing. Owners were communicative and helpful with lots of great recs. Exceeded our expectations. Hope to get back soon!

Absolutely gorgeous property. Amazing views, quick access to the beach. The house is well stocked with anything you need. If you need help with anything, the owners respond quickly.
Our stay was so great. Brian and Lucy were the best and most communicative and helpful hosts. The property/view is lovely and very private. We loved listening to the water lapping all night. We especially loved getting out in the kayaks to float with all the devil rays. We rented an ATV to get back and forth to town and pickleball and that was fun too. We look forward to visiting again soon!
Very beautiful home, nicely and tastefully furnished. Check in and communication with the owner and property manager were excellent. Location was exactly what we were looking for. We will come back if we can get it again. It’s popular!
Brian and Lucy are the epitome of hospitality! They have one of the most comfortable, beautiful, and neatly appointed properties on the East Cape. We had everything we needed in a comfortable clean environment to enjoy our honeymoon! We can't say enough about the friendly welcoming atmosphere they provided. We absolutely would stay no where else.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Tortuga! The house is beautiful, clean and comfortably furnished with a fully stocked kitchen. The ocean views are absolutely breathtaking from every window and especially from the spacious verandas. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Safety, security and privacy are not a concern as the gracious hosts, Brian and Lucy, live (very unobtrusively) on the grounds. Casa Tortuga is truly one of the finest properties we've ever stayed and we recommend it highly!
Brian and Lucy were fabulous! They answered every text and question immediately and helped make our stay perfect. The Casa is large, with an amazing view of the Sea of Cortez with daily whales sightings. Of course, sunsets and sunrises are always the best. The kitchen is well stocked, great washer, and dryer, which we used as we were in Baja for three weeks. A very comfortable bed while listening to the sea all night. It is a few minutes from los Bareilles by drive, but we enjoyed getting out of the rush and back to our Casa. We would definitely stay here again as this was our second time at this property.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Tortuga. Brian and Lucy were wonderful hosts. They were both very friendly, helpful, and responsive. The home was gorgeous and in a perfect location overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The home was immaculately clean, well-appointed, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The home was bright with incredible lighting from the oversized windows and sliding doors. The king sized bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping with the sliding door open so we could hear the sound of the ocean. The two bathrooms were clean, spacious, with plenty of luxurious towels. There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The outside areas were spacious, with lots of comfortable seating, tables, bbq grill, and amazing views. The property's landscaping was spectacular with plenty of palm trees, cacti, and flowers. We saw and heard lots of hummingbirds and butterflies. If you play pickleball, the home was a very short drive (about 1.5 miles) to Tres Palapas, a fantastic and fun location to play pickleball and socialize. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and look forward to returning in the future.
What could be better than waking up every day to a beautiful sunrise visible from the spacious king bedroom? Step outside to enjoy a breakfast with gorgeous ocean views and watch the birds welcome the day as you listen to the sound of waves rolling into the rocky shore below. We were even blessed to see a mother whale and her calf breaching just off shore.
Everything at this lovely home was perfect. The kitchen was extremely well equipped for cooking. We loved the large range with 6 gas burners and had all the cookware and knives we needed.
The bed and all the furniture was very comfortable, storage space was ample and the washing machine was large enough to wash all our clothes.
The hosts were extremely friendly and responsive. Always available, but never intrusive.
There were many choice of good restaurants in the area. For a delicious good value meal we liked Taqueria El Viejo and for a special night out, Santuario was heads above the other nice restaurants. For a nice breakfast or drinks by the beach, visit La Playa. The passion fruit smoothie was world class.
And, of course, the home is just 1.7k down the road from the Tres Palapas Pickleball Resort where we met many friendly players from all over the US and Canada and enjoyed lots of good pickleball, as well as some good food and drinks.
Privacy but still close to town. We loved being able to snorkel, fish, & kayak right in front of the property.

Wonderful Stay in Los Barilles!
My husband and I had such a wonderful stay here in Los Barilles. This home is beautiful, everything we needed, including Paul and Sally's very helpful ideas on vacationing in this area of Mexico. We will hopefully be privileged to come back here soon!

Lovely and peaceful
My husband and I spent a week at Casa Tortuga in December 2016. The casa is lovely and spacious, perfect for a couple. We enjoyed sitting out on the veranda overlooking the water and listening to the sound of the waves. We plan to come back.
We had a great experience here, and in the Los Barilles area. The owners were friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The house was spectacular, with, among many things, amazing sunrises, great spaces to hang out, inside and out, plenty of open space, and everything we needed. We'd come back in a second.
This was our second time renting on this property and we absolutely love it. We stayed at the small casita next to the waters edge last year, and this year we stayed at the main house. You can't go wrong with either one. Gorgeous views and great location. We travel a fair amount and this is probably the nicest rental we have ever had. Loved the space and layout. Everything was in nice condition and those views....Wow.
