About this property
Feels-like-home but on the beach
When away from home, it is essential to feel as relaxed as possible and we believe you will be at Palacio de Baja.
Newly remodeled kitchen, complete with dishwasher and drinkable water. Newly painted. Large screen smart TV with Direct TV. You are invited to log into your streaming services.
The rooms are spacious and the furnishings are comfortable, generous and tasteful. The master bedroom sleeps up to five, with one king size bed, and one bunk with full on bottom and twin on top. The second bedroom sleeps up to four with a queen size bed, and two twin size beds.
The Dining Room has a beautifully handcrafted table and eight chairs, in a well-lit space.
There are two bathrooms with tiled showers, and decorated to reflect the culture.
On the patio, relax with a good book on a comfortable lounge chair and bask in the sunlight or sit under the umbrella. Two stand-up paddleboards are supplied.
The newly remodeled kitchen is fully stocked, includes a dishwasher and overlooks the beach (there is no better way to cook!)
There is an outdoor fire ring where you can enjoy the clear view of the stars and the city lights of Ensenada in the distance.
La Bufadora is a 5 mile drive down the road where you can enjoy beautiful views, shopping and fabulous food. Ensenada is a 20 minute drive north where you can enjoy more fabulous food, shopping, and a visit to the fish market.
There are outdoor cameras monitoring the entrances to the property.

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Norton
This is a property owned by our whole big family: Mom and Dad, their three children and their spouses. We are from Orange County and our kids have enjoyed growing up going to PdB.
Why they chose this property
Before we had ever been to Palacio de Baja, Mom was the informal 'rental agent' for the original builder of the property. As payment for handling the rentals she was given time at the house. Gradually we all traveled to Baja and fell in love with the quiet, slow pace of life in Mexico and on the beach.
When the owner was no longer able to care for the property we decided that we would like the opportunity to buy it. After praying together for a time and talking to the owner, we were able to purchase the property in 2004.
We feel very blessed to have PdB for our family to enjoy together. We hope you enjoy it too.
We love going down to PdB. We noticed that we like to spend the first few days sleeping in, taking a nap, laying out, or just lying on the beach. It's a great place to detox from everyday life.
There's nothing like waking up, making a pot of coffee, and sitting outside or walking along the beach while drinking said coffee.
