About this property

Private Tropical Oasis with Saltwater Pool, Lush Gardens, Minutes to Beach

Welcome to Villa Gemelas! (Pronounced Hem-el-as) Named for our "Twin" daughters. An extremely private tropical oasis on close to 1 acre. An 8 minute walk to a pristine white sand beach. Lush vegetation, fruit trees and palms on property with a 20x40' heated saltwater pool, a 2 bedroom house on one side and three self contained guest casitas on the other side, each capable of sleeping up to 3 guests.

Dead-end street and nothing more private, tranquil and peaceful than this property! Avoid the crazy construction noise and constant traffic in the area!

This is a super private and tranquil oasis villa. Gorgeous solar heated 20x40 saltwater pool maintained at 85-92 degrees, or lower if preferred. This is unusual in our area so make sure you check pool temperatures before booking anything!

The perimeter of the property is lined with Coco Palms, lush bougainvilla, and giant blue agaves, offering a beautiful natural boundary without walls and insuring extreme privacy. Over 400 plants, palms, cactus, succulents and flowers. Fruit trees on the property include lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, avocado, pomegranate, fig, nectarine, papaya, banana, mango, passion fruit, star fruit, guanabana, guava, coconuts, date palm......(Not all fruits are always ready to eat, but please enjoy what is, within reason)

The main house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and can accommodate 4 people. The master bedroom upstairs has a king bed and the second bedroom downstairs can be configured with a king or two single beds.

A huge sectional reclining sofa is ready for viewing streaming programs, or Netflix. High speed Wifi is available throughout the property.

On the other side of the pool is a Palapa casita with a king bed and single bed (if required), or we can configure with three singles. The casita also has a full kitchen and new bathroom addition/renovation. Perfect for two but could accommodate an additional person as well. A TV with Netflix, and wifi is also available.

The two new Casitas each have a king bed and futon couch, kitchenette/wet bar, work station and private bathroom. AC, TV and Wifi are also included.

The main house is fully air conditioned, as are all three casitas. A/C is not generally required from November to May; open windows, ceiling fans, and a cool Pacific Ocean breeze is usually more than enough.

For groups of less then 10 people, not all of the units will be made available. Example: 6/7 people, access to main house and one casita. 8/9people, main house and two casitas. 10-13 people have full access to all units. So if you require or would like more access, increase the number of guests to get accurate pricing.

Contactless check in is available as is a detailed and thorough house manual and area information booklet. Owners or caretakers are always available for emergencies.

Gorgeous place, great area
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this VRBO property in Todos Santos, and I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. This vacation home is truly a gem, offering everything you could ever dream of for a relaxing getaway. First and foremost, the house itself is stunning. The main house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities you could need. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings is impressive, making it feel like a luxurious home away from home. The highlight of this property, without a doubt, is the gorgeous pool. It's not just any pool; it's a breathtaking oasis. Whether you want to soak up the sun, take a refreshing dip, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings, this pool area is the place to be. The landscaping around the pool is immaculate, and the outdoor seating options are perfect for lounging or dining al fresco. For those who value privacy and tranquility, this property offers a private yoga space that is nothing short of magical. It's a serene spot where you can practice yoga, meditate, or simply enjoy some quiet time surrounded by the natural beauty of Todos Santos. One of the standout features of this VRBO property is its accommodation for multi-generational families. With three separate casitas in addition to the main house, there's ample space for everyone to have their own privacy while still enjoying the company of the group.

Beautiful Oasis for large group
Five couples stayed here for my 30th birthday and it was an amazing place to stay. We were all very comfortable and never felt crowded. It was clean and well stocked. The pool was a highlight, as well as the short walk to a quiet and beautiful beach. It was a short drive to the more popular beach. The hosts are extremely hospitable, and provided us with a lot of information for the property and recommendations for the town. We took them up on their recommendations for local restaurants and were never disappointed. It was overall a great stay, and we all said we would return to this beautiful oasis!

Kick back. Relax. They've got it covered.
Our group of 6 adults just spent a lovely relaxing week at this beautiful house. The house is just as pictured and was comfortable for all of us. Mike and Adriana are fantastic hosts! They had everything ready when we arrived and walked us through things answering any question we had. They gave great recommendations for restaurants and local things to do and see. The home is beautiful and even with all 3 areas occupied there was plenty of privacy. The saltwater pool is amazing and the pool side palapa was more than comfortable! My father in law was very thankful for the satellite dish at the house so he could watch the Packers on Sunday. The house is definitely a remote destination. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone is friendly. The town of ElPescadero is small but had everything we needed. We purchased fruit and vegetables at Ruteria Salgado. They also sell excellent chicken and ground beef. Overall Great house. I would definitely return to this place. Beautiful, quiet, comfortable and excellent service and amenities.

Perfect place to stay
Our family of four were so comfortable in our home away from home. We especially loved the heated, salt water pool. Scruffy, the local pup, was friendly and fun to be around. We were excited to watch the baby turtles leaving their nests on their first journey to the ocean. Lots of whales. Perfect time and excellent host family. Highest recommendation!

Awesome stay in Pescadero
Mike's home was incredible! We loved the location and the house was perfect for a big family. Mike was also super helpful during the rainstorm we had. He keeps us in communication and had someone out to fix the water as soon as we let him know about it. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Family Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is great, close to the beach, town, and great restaurants. However, the best part was the spacious pool and beautiful grounds -- a perfect place to relax, eat, drink and play with the family. An added bonus was the hospitality of Mike, Adriana, and the twins. We truly felt welcome and taken care of. We have nothing negative to say about this property and can't wait to return.

Outstanding place to stay in El Pescadero!
We were a party of 7 and all of us felt at home at Casa Gemelas. Mike, Adriana and their daughters were very helpful and were always available to answer any questions we had. Their property is beautiful. The pool invites you to dive in right away! The sound system is terrific! And the landscaping captures the simplicity of the desert in a very elegant way. We enjoyed going to Playa Cerritos for a swim (7 min. drive). The afternoon walks on Playa San Pedrito were absolutely breathtaking (3 min. drive). We went to Todos Santos to get good food, good ice-cream and groceries at some of the small tiendas (10 min. drive) We loved our time in El Pescadero at Casa Gemelas. We would come back anytime!

Beautiful, tranquil paradise with warm saltwater pool—what’s not to love?
This place can’t be beat for privacy and beauty! A spacious house, large casita, lovely gardened property and perfect pool! A short walk to an outstanding sunset beach, short drive to turtle launch headquarters and fabulous restaurant as well as taquerias. Plus the sweet town of Todos Santosnearby for shopping and goodies. Our hosts took excellent care of our needs—a fun, caring team. Thank you, Jones family!

A wonderful, private gem!
Thanks to Mike, Adriana and the girls for a wonderful stay in Pescadero! Wonderfully comfortable home with a yard that is an oasis! Fruit, coconuts, a beautiful pool & amazing views....what more can you ask for?! The hospitality was amazing and we had a fantastic time! I know we will see you guys again soon.

Perfect place for a quality time get-away with family and friends!
Everything about Casa Gemelas was on point. The grounds and garden are amazing, the pool is a massive plus...it’s truly an Oasis! Both the house and casita are fully equipped with everything you may need to cook and carry on. We had the most epic stay, and I would highly recommend the property to anyone! Big ups to Mike and his family! Well done, my friends!

Amazing...the house, location, and owners!
My family had a fantastic vacation here and can’t wait to come back! The property is truly an oasis. The trees, hedges, succulents, and gardens that surround the house are beautiful. The house has a great layout and is very spacious. It has everything you could need, including wifi! The Casita is nice too, with its own Kitchen and bathroom. The adults stayed in the main house and the kids were in the Casita. I think the kids liked that they had their own space, like they were on vacation from the parents. While our main goal was to kick back and relax, we found lots of fun stuff to do around Pescadero. Cerritos beach is just down the way and it is worth spending time there. Our kids loved playing in the waves. We went fishing with a local guide one day and managed to bring home dinner. Todos Santos is worth a visit as well. It is about 15 minutes away and has cool little shops and restaurants. Walks in the morning, hanging by the pool, great food, and sunsets on the beach at night…what more could you ask for? Can’t forget about the owners. Mike and his family are truly some of the nicest people you will meet. They made us feel right at home and I’m sure they do the same for all their guests.

Beautiful relaxing property!
We LOVED our stay and will be returning in the future. Mike and Adrianna were wonderful hosts. The house was well stocked to meet all of our needs! It was the perfect place to relax by the pool. One of the few heated pools in the area was a real bonus. Beach was within walking distance and scenery was gorgeous.

Spectacular property with amazing hosts!
Our trip to Casa Gemalas was absolutely fantastic! The entire property was immaculate, the pool was the perfect temperature, and the location was incredible. Mike and Adriana were some of the most friendly and thoughtful hosts I've ever stayed with. Their attention to the details of hospitality is evident in every aspect of the house and their thorough guidebook. They were even gracious enough to take us on a comprehensive tour of Pescadero upon our arrival to get us oriented and point out their favorite spots! I look forward to coming back here someday and would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering a visit to beautiful Pescadero!

Well-kept, lovely casa and casita close to a nearly private surf beach.
Truly an oasis —palms, bougainvillea, cactus garden, blue and lovely pool. Spacious inside and out, with abundant eating areas, good tv reception, Wi-Fi, ping pong table, fire pit. Plenty of fun to be had, a wonderful farm restaurant nearby as well as a decent American style restaurant with pool table and outdoor tables. Our hosts welcomed us graciously and provided for our needs well. They know how to handle their business and their clients with care and energy. Great surfing beach nearby, skate parks, local stores. Todos Santos a sweet town about 15 minutes away. Try to arrive in daylight—the Casa is fairly far down a dirt road.

Beautiful Location & Accommodations
Large, very private location, close walking distance to beach that comfortably sleeps six. The outdoor areas are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. House is very clean and laid out to easily accommodate six diners inside or outside. Kitchen is well supplied and mechanical systems were all in good working order. Owners are super easy to deal with, and prompt with responses. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Jones

Host profile image
Married for 32 years, with twin 19 year old daughters. We also own a Fishing Lodge in British Columbia, Canada, and spend 6 months traveling and living at our home in Baja Mexico during the winter.

Why they chose this property

A tropical oasis with a personal resort feel! If privacy is what you seek, look no further! The pool is probably the number one draw to this property, at 20x40 it is the largest we know of, and probably the warmest! So many people struggle with heating their pools, sounds silly but the evening do get cool. With use of the solar blanket and 12 solar heating panels, we maintain temperatures of 85-92 degrees!

What makes this property unique

Totally private and quiet, no construction or traffic noise, close to beaches, surf breaks, restaurants and night life!
