About this property

Luxury Villa, steps from beach

Four bikes, a tandem kayak, snorkeling gear, tennis rackets, golf clubs and yoga supplies! Casa Serena is a charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 story beauty with a fully appointed kitchen, garden with barbecue, 2 king beds, beautiful furniture and authentic Mexican art. Excellent location just steps from the beach, close to three pools, golf course, restaurants and shops.

We have spared no effort to make your visit to our house and the Loreto area peaceful, adventurous, and satisfying - no details overlooked for an unforgettable holiday.

Exquisite details such as handcrafted Saltillo tile flooring, top-of-the-line cabinetry with hand-forged iron detailing, artisan wooden french doors and windows. The entry garden has a built-in barbecue and a table for four that serves as a fantastic spot to have an al-fresco dinner. Three sets of French doors open up from the living/dining room area to the interior landscaped courtyard.

The living room has two couches (one is a sleeper sofa), a 49" Roku TV for streaming all of your favorite programs (Netflix provided), a BluRay/DVD player, a selection of DVDs, board games, two yoga mats and a yoga block, foam roller, and books for your relaxation time.

The kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove/oven, blender. toaster, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, cooking and eating utensils, cutlery, glassware, dishes etc. Kitchen has a talavera tile bar that opens up to the dining room and living room with open beam ceiling. This is a great entertaining space.

Downstairs includes a separate master bedroom with a king size bed, a large bathroom with a hand laid tile dual sink vanity counter top, and a huge soaking tub. The upstairs bedroom suite is furnished with a luxury king size bed, a private full bath with double sink vanities, and huge walk-in Mexican-tiled shower. The upstairs deck has a pergola with a comfortable seating area for six along with two large loungers for sunning or relaxing.

The villa also has a laundry room with washer and dryer. There is one hair dryer and makeup mirror. Wifi is provided for free. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms and living room and remote control air conditioning/heat throughout.

Guests will have access to all resort amenities that include a lap pool, community pool, hotel pool with swim-up bar, beach with palapas for shade and lounge chairs, seaside golf course, hotel cafe and bar, along with the local restaurants, shops and cafes.

We have two hybrid bikes, two beach cruiser bikes, a double kayak, 5 sets of mask/fins/snorkels, two tennis rackets, pickleball for four, a set of golf clubs, beach towels, and two boogie boards for our guests to use.

We are always available to answer your questions but we do not live in Loreto while you are in our house! Our manager, Ethel Valle, speaks perfect English and will meet you at the property and explain all of the necessary information. She will also act as your personal concierge to arrange any tours, trips, or rentals that you would like. Shopping for groceries, daily maid service, welcome cocktails, and other luxuries can also be provided by Ethel at an additional cost.

Imagine your perfect vacation, combining adventure, nature, tranquility and relaxation. Wake up in the morning to the sound of songbirds perched in this beautifully landscaped village, enjoy coffee and breakfast in your private garden, then grab your snorkeling gear and walk a few steps to the beach, where you can launch our double kayak into the sparkling calm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Enjoy a morning where you may encounter dolphins, whale sharks, puffer fish, and more exciting wildlife. Relax in the afternoon, sunning on your private terrace or visit one of the three pools within a few minutes’ walk. Later enjoy a bike ride to have cocktails at the Wine Bar or Dos Lobos art gallery, or to eat at one of our five local restaurants. Then collapse onto comfortable couches and catch the latest episode of your favorite Netflix shows on the 49” Roku TV. The next day, plan a hike into the stupendous canyons of the Sierra Gigante, take a boat ride to the white sand beaches of Coronado Island, or cook a sumptuous dinner in your well-appointed kitchen for your new friends. Relax and repeat.

The Villages of Loreto Bay is a private planned community located about 10 minutes drive from the town of Loreto and sandwiched between the majestic Sierra la Giganta mountain range and the calm, warm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Our community has winding stone paths, beautifully landscaped with phenomenal architecture, and only one street --the Paseo, with restaurants and a few small shops. The development has 24 hour security guards and is peaceful and calm. The town of Loreto is one of the few that has been designated by Mexico as a "Pueblo Magico" -- it is a prosperous, well-organized town with an authentic, old-time Mexican vibe and no high-rise condominiums or swarms of vendors. The people of the town are sweet and hospitable and wonderful cultural explorations are possible, including ancient missions and colorful fiestas on the town plaza. The Sea of Cortez offers numerous natural and wildlife wonders -- Jacques Cousteau called it "The Aquarium of the World." You can swim with whale sharks, dolphins, and sea lions, and in the winter there are humpbacks and blue whales and visiting orcas. Sport fishing and diving are legendary. The mountains offer challenging hikes and bouldering in slot canyons with hidden pools of clear water. This area offers everything you could imagine for a vacation with both adventure and relaxation.

Loreto Bay is about a ten minute drive from Loreto International Airport. Car rentals are available at the airport, taxis are readily available at the airport, in town, and at the hotel (one minute walk from the house). There are restaurants and a few small stores in our community, including grocery stores with all necessary supplies at reasonable prices.

Excellent - Will be Back!
The Casa was superb - location, community, amenities (beach, pools). It is also well laid out so that 2 couples can easily stay. We enjoyed the bikes and the resort is pretty to cruise around. The restaurants were excellent - Azul and Le Bistro were favorites - we will be back!

Enjoyed our stay
Location is handy to beach, pools, Wine Bar and Bistro. It was a great homebase for our week. Well equipped; we appreciated the use of the kayak. Bikes could use a bit of upkeep. Look for the hummingbird nest at the very top stair railing.

Lovely villa
This property is ideally situated for walks on the beach around Nopolo Rock. The villa is spacious and well stocked although items are getting to be a bit worn. Appliances worked well and there was lots of hot water. The bikes were fun, but are not in great shape. The kayak was excellent, although we couldn't use it a lot as it was windy most days. The owner and manager were very responsive to any problems and fixed things immediately. We had an active hummingbird nest on the upper deck and it was amazing to watch the chicks grow.

Nice casa, great location, great owner communication.
I have been renting Casa’s in Loreto Bay for several years, for periods ranging from one week to one month. It is a great walking town, with amenities (restaurants, market, golf club, beach, pools, Jorge’s kayak shack, the coffee shop, etc., spread out. So Casa location is important. This is a great location in the early Founders Neighborhood. It is set up exactly as described in the listing. On the larger, Loreto Bay scale, the landscaping is gorgeous and streets and paths and infrastructure are well maintained and safe.
