About this property

Casa Margaritaville - A Spacious Ocean Front Property, for Friends and Family.

Welcome to Casa Margaritaville - A Slice of Paradise !
Our incredible ocean front home is more like a private mini-resort, perfect for 4 couples or a large family. Enjoy our beautiful tropical flavored Casa, with is spacious outdoor living area, large swimming pool, jacuzzi, Tiki Bar & outdoor kitchen, surrounded by bamboo, palm trees, lawn and flowers. This unique 4 bedroom and 4 bath home is ready to move right in. You will find everything you need and ready for your enjoyment. The huge Palapa great room features floor to ceiling hand painted tropical murals, comfortable sectional seating with matching recliners and entertainment center all open to the large modern kitchen featuring a Viking gas range, dish washer, double wide refrigerator and pull-out freezer with ice-maker and a reverse osmosis drinking water system. Our very private gated yard has ample parking available.

CASA MARGARITAVILLE is a one of a kind spacious home, located on the quiet side of Bahia San Carlos in a very private, safe and secure waterfront location close to the best beaches, both marinas, several restaurants, cantinas, grocery stores and shopping. We often think about going out to a fancy hotel, with beautiful palm trees, tropical grounds, spacious pool and Tiki Bar.... then we say, "Let's stay home at Casa Margaritaville, where we have it all right here."

The recently remodeled casa and pool-side casita is on a spacious double size lot with extensive outdoor living space. We can easily sleep 4 couples in King and Queen beds, or accommodate single friends or family members. Two of the King bedrooms can be converted to twin beds to accommodate your family or single guests. There is also a queen size Sofa Bed in the Palapa Grande. The large heated pool, hot tub, Tiki Bar and outdoor kitchen are surrounded by a virtual botanical garden which would rival any beach resort in Mexico. Towering palms, bamboo, flowering plants and fruit trees creating a natural privacy that you will not find anywhere else in San Carlos. Casa Margarita is perfect for family vacations, a couples get away or special family occasions.

Guest space is all on one level, including 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, each with a shower and decorated in a tropical theme. The outdoor living area is surrounded by a large tropical garden yard, secured from the street and arranged around a large swimming pool and jacuzzi spa. There is a large lighted parking area, double garage and additional parking space within the secured yard for a vehicle, small boat or ATV trailer.

The Palapa Grandé, large indoor kitchen, and two King bedrooms are within the main house, plus there are two nicely decorated Casitas: one a queen bedroom and the other can be a King or twins. Each Casita has a nice bathroom and shower. Surrounding the large swimming pool and jacuzzi is a spacious tiled outdoor entertainment space including dining and kitchen area with built in charcoal BBQ and great covered Tiki Bar surrounded by bamboo and palms. There is also a large ocean side patio with a round Palapa with seating and a private dock on the Bahia.

Guests are able to use and enjoy our entire spacious property, except for the unoccupied and secured Owners Suite on the second floor. This is where we keep our clothes and personal things. Please respect our home and property and treat it as you would your own home.
Other things to do:
There are several excellent beaches, restaurants, gift shops and cantinas nearby as well as dive shops and numerous boat charters available at Marina San Carlos. We recommend Fernando at Catch 22 or Bryan at Team Margarita for a personal sport fishing experience. There are three dive shops in San Carlos who rent gear, provide guided dives and sight seeing tours.

Dining: Breakfast at La Cabaca is hard to beat. We enjoy Tortuga’s, Colibrí’s and Cotidiano 1922 in the new Casa Maria Hotel for excellent dining. Casual dining and lunch with a great atmosphere, try Hammerheads, Palapa Griega and Mercado San Carlos. Specializing in seafood, Charley’s Rock, Los Arbolitos and Marisco el Rey, all on the main road. The best burgers in town are found at Jax Snax or the gourmet style at Boye’s Burgers. Best traditional Mexican food is Chuahua's and Tequilas. If you want great ice cream, Thrifty is the best.

Paradise in San Carlos!

The property and home are absolutely gorgeous and a lot of fun! Great location, right on the bay and within 10 minutes of everything in San Carlos! Gated for extra safety! The home was clean and well equipped, with everything we needed and more! Easy check-in. We were well taken care of by the staff and communication with the owner was excellent. We will be back!

Casa Margaritaville

Great Stay at Casa Margaritaville. The only issue was that 3 AC units went out during our stay and they were not able to get someone out to fix them until after our stay, so we had to deal with some warm air and fans. Despite the unpleasant heat due to those issues, I would definitely recommend to other and stay again if the opportunity arises.

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Kathy King

Host profile image
Kathy and Butch King are lifetime Alaskans, who have owned and operated a fly in only, wilderness lodge on remote Alaska Peninsula for the past thirty years. Butch has been a bush pilot and guide all of his adult life and still enjoys flying and sport fishing. Kathy left a nursing career to join Butch as manger and hostess at Wildman Lodge in Alaska. Now recently retired, hosting guests is still in their blood. What they enjoy most is sharing their unique lifestyle with special people who appreciate what they have created, be it in Alaska, or here in San Carlos, Sonora Mexico.

Why they chose this property

Butch followed his Alaska bush pilot mentor, Lee Holen, to SanCarlos in 1974 and has returned to visit nearly every year since. In 2016, he and Kathy purchased an older home on the best oceanfront lot in San Carlos. During the next several years they demolished and rebuilt property in phases to create a tropical oceanfront paradise where the Sea of Cortez meets the mountains or the Sonoran desert, Casa Margaritaville.

What makes this property unique

Where the mountains of Sonora meet the Sea of Cortez. Casa Margaritaville is a more like an incredible mini resort than a spacious ocean front home, for 4 couples or a large family. Enjoy an unparalleled outdoor living area, large pool with jacuzzi spa, Tiki Bar & outdoor kitchen area, all surrounded by a virtual botanic garden featuring bamboo, towering palms, fruit trees and abundant tropical flowers. This 4 bedroom and 4 bath home is decorate with hand painted tropical murals that belong on canvas instead of on walls. The entire property is appointed with everything you would expect at the finest tropical resort. The huge 20 foot high Palapa great room is compete with a cozy sectional with matching recliners, entertainment center and two large sliding glass doors accessing the pool area. The dining table seats 8 and was hand carved by artisans in Guadalajara to match our tropical decor. The large kitchen and breakfast bar featuring Mexican tile, custom cabinetry, a large Viking range, dish washer and double wide refrigerator with rollout freezer and ice maker. The reverse osmosis system provides safe, mountain fresh drinking water. Our tranquil location is close to the best beaches, both marinas, shopping and the finest restaurants in San Carlos. We are a private residence on double size oceanfront lot with an incredible garden yard, pool, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen and ample parking shared with our closest neighbor, Cyberco Security, who provide alarm monitoring and response for the community of San Carlos. Our response time is about 30 seconds.
