The location can’t be beat. The path down to the beach is fantastic and the only sound at night is the waves. Extra bonus that they allow for a dog. BUT as someone who rents a house based on the reviews on VRBO, I take issue with the folks saying this property is “exceptional.” The house is clean but very tired. Rust is everywhere (window blinds, shower rods, lounge chairs) and the sliding door does not slide. There’s a reason they don’t show photos of the kitchen. I’ve traveled the Baja peninsula for 25 years so I understand the vibe and expect some inconveniences in exchange for seclusion and beauty, but I would not rent this house again.
You can’t beat having the beach as your backyard and Phillip is the best host he was there to help us with all our needs. We’re looking forward to our next stay.
Our Christmas vacation was so much fun enjoyed running on the beach eating at the local restaurants the bufedora just around the corner. Highly recommended will come again the host were so helpful and a big shoutout to Matt thank you
Nice view, pretty, classic house. The house is fully equipped with utensils and the views to the beach are amazing.
Arrived during daylight since it is a little complicated to get there and see the exits.
location is amazing. there were lots of comments about the directions yet they are EASY. so dont worry. but dont use GPS per owners recommendation which I trust. Philip stayed in touch with us throughout our stay , checking in which was very nice. Owner recommendation for quick local groceries was great. yes, bring bug spray and if needed go to a pharmacy and get Gelmicin which helps.
The house is right on the beach. Nothing beats that. Safe community, close to Bufadora. Very private and the beach is not crowded.
The hosts are the very definition of hospitality. I needed help with things not even related to my stay, and I always got helped.
Overall, had a great stay.
We’ve been to punta banda multiple times. We love it and keep coming back. Beautiful beach as your backyard. Pods of dolphins in the morning while sipping coffee, beautiful sunsets in the evening. All day boogie boarding for my kids.
House is spacious. Owners have great communication. Though, Come prepared with bug spray. unfortunately my teenage boys were eaten up by mosquitos. Other than that, our stay was great!
Communication with our host was great and he welcomed us in-person when we arrived. He also offered great insights and opportunities for the area and provided wonderful support during our visit. Everything matched the listing and photos. We loved the sights and sounds of the beach right outside our window. Various levels of grocery shopping were conveniently located nearby and more unique needs were satisfied by going into Ensenada. We cooked all but one meal at the house. We did not seek local entertainment but there were options. We had a very relaxing 10 day trip.
The house was clean and spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The neighbors were great. The family wants to return again in the future.
We visited during the coolest time of the year. The home heating was not great. The mornings were a little chilly. This home is located about 15 minutes from town. The roads are not great.
We found some great restaurants in the area. We loved Sharky's. This was also pretty close to La Bufadora. We also saw dolphins swimming behind the house two mornings.
I would say this place is PERFECT for the summer. I would stay here again in the summer. It is very clean and comfortable. It has perfect views and windows to enjoy the beach inside or out. The night views of the coast lights are also nice and . I stayed in February so it was chilly as you would expect. Ample heaters were provided. I was still able to nap in the sun outside in the patio a few times. The washer and dryer are a bonus to have. The caretaker and owners are super responsive with any and all issues. Very much enjoyed the house and would come back again in the summer! My 4/5 stars for the accuracy of the online listing is only for the location. It is not clear on the listing map (a VBRO thing) but the owners gave excellent directions.
The pictures do not do this place justice. The location and views were amazing. The beach was perfect for long walks, sand castle building, boogie boarding, and sunset watching. The house was very clean and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you!
Overall great experience. The area was nice, host had good suggestions for food and drinks and the place was spot on. Beautiful location and great views.
