Lovely Spanish Villa

What a great place! Being so close to the water was amazing. And the location is really close to the main part of town but far enough to be really quiet. Well-equipped with everything we needed. Gail and Mike are very generous hosts. Unfortunately, I broke my foot while I was there. We couldn't find crutches, so I asked Gail where we might find some. Turns out they had a spare pair and let me take them home. What a gift and relief! They also let us borrow a yoga mat and block, and Gail was always very helpful and gracious when we had questions. Something to note: Those who prefer a completely closed standard door for bedrooms and bathrooms may not care for the barn door style on all internal doors, including bedrooms and bathrooms. And in the main guest suite, a large floor-to-ceiling cabinet separated the bedroom and bathroom, but no door. These things didn't bother us at all and we had a lovely stay, but sharing in case it's not someone else's cup of tea. Since I broke my foot, we didn't get to do the exploring we had planned, so we're going to visit again for a redo. And we intend to stay at this place again!

Perfect quiet retreat

We planned this stay months ago and it came at just the right time. We've been dealing with alot of medical issues with elderly parents for the last two months. Little did we know that this property would be our R & R time. It was quiet, beautiful , tucked away from any hustle and bustle and just what we needed. My favorite thing was sitting at the window seat and watching the sunrise over the ocean. Spectacular! Michael was spot on with all of his recommendations for food and even E-bike trails! Thank you. We feel like we have new friends in San Felipe!

Absolutely stunning condo with beach front location.

We spent 18 days in San Felipe and loved it! Gail and Michael were fabulous hosts and their property is fantastic. The pool area is lovely and the ocean views are unparalleled. Michael gave us numerous tips on where to shop, dine, etc. The unit is beautifully decorated and an amazing home away from home. Would absolutely love to return. Thanks so much for a fabulous vacation!

Amazing!

You can't go wrong with this property! The hosts are fantastic and the condo and location are total perfection. We wanted to stay forever! Very close to restaurants and the malecon, but quieter. We booked unit 8 originally, but our host moved us to #7 when they discovered that my husband was disabled. Their thoughtfulness was very appreciated. We both agreed that this property and these hosts made our vacation great!

Fantastic Get-Away

Beautiful place with a breath taking ocean view. I felt like we were in a home, with all the amenities vs booking a hotel. Easy to get to, not far from downtown, and so peaceful, private and quiet! We felt very safe staying here, and the owners were welcoming and very nice. A garage for your vehicle, kayaks to rent, and a beautiful swimming pool were just a few of the perks.... We will be coming back here and soon!

Relaxing refreshing waterfront stay

This was the second time we stayed at this property and my husband and I said we’ll be coming back for years to come. The property itself is located very near to the main strip in San Felipe and has all anyone needs for a relaxing getaway. We love this particular unit as it is on the waterfront and has a comfy balcony area to sit and enjoy the view. The hosts communicate extremely well and are very hospitable! Thanks again to the Gates!!

Our 1st time in San Felipe, and this was the perfect place to stay

Walking into this condo was like walking into an art gallery. What a beautifully decorated place! Add to that the view, the location near the malecon, and it was one of the best VRBO experiences we've ever had.

AN ABSOLUTE GEM!!! MUST STAY IF YOU ARE IN SAN FELIPE!!

From the reservation booking all the way until we drove out of the property it was perfect. The condo is gorgeous, and the view is breathtaking. Property is super close to all the action but far enough away to stay quiet and peaceful. Absolutely amazing. A must stay if you are in the San Felipe area.

Super home. Super host

Gail and Mike are amazing hosts. They live on site and are always there to help without being intrusive. We really felt at home. The condo is beautiful and so tastefully decorated. The mattresses are perfect. The place is clean and well equipped with plenty of thick towels, lots of hangers in the closet. The best part is the terrace overlooking the sea. The view is spectacular. I will definitely be back again.. incredible sun rises, worth getting up for.

Best place in San Felipe!

My husband and I had the absolute best time staying and Gail and Michael’s home. Pictures and description of it are accurate but in all honesty, it is even better in person. First off, Michael and Gail are amazing hosts and they gave us some great info on San Felipe as well as wonderful places to eat. Their home has everything you need and the bed is very comfortable. We WILL be back very soon and we WILL be staying with Gail and Michael.

Birthday Weekend Getaway

Had the opportunity to spend some time here with my girlfriend and kids for a small birthday celebration. We were very happy with location. The condo is beautifully decorated and just steps from the beach. When we arrived Michael and Gail had gone out and placed a small flower gift for my girlfriend which was a nice touch and totally unexpected. Location was secure, close enough to downtown but not to close. Beach is accessible to locals but you still had a good part of the beach to yourself. Balcony opens straight into sea of cortez which is awesome. I would recommend this place to friends and family and we definitely plan on returning. Gail and Michael thank you. Rigo

Stunning property and location.

Loved staying here. Beautiful furnishings and location that is walking distance to town and malecon. A pleasure to deal the hosts Michael and Gail. They were a wealth of knowledge about best restaurants and sites to see. A highlight was our walk out into the mountains with them and the puppies from their off site dog shelter, The Dog House....wish I could have taken one of them home 💜. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. Hope to see you again sometime!
