A perfect Mexican beach getaway! We had such a great time and were sad to leave.We had an issue with the water heater and the host was very responsive. He sent some one out to fix it right away.Definitely hoping to come back sometime.

We loved our experience! Our host Philip was very attentive to our needs bringing us a squeegee for the foggy windows. He also brought us a shovel so we could dig for the hot springs on the beach. We celebrated two birthdays during out time there. The house was very comfortable and the beds the best. There are some household tips I will send privately but nothing that took away from our comfort and joy. Oh did I mention Nicki met me at the horse rescue down the block to meet her horse and a friend's. Icing on the cake.

We’re so grateful to the homeowners for sharing their beautiful Ensenada beach house with us. From the moment we walked in, the ocean view took our breath away. The direct beach access made it easy to spend our days between the sand and the house was charming, comfortable, and surprisingly private. It often felt like we had our own stretch of beach.This was one of the best family experiences I’ve ever had. For a few days, we got to live the dream of being beach house owners at a very reasonable price. I cannot thank the hosts enough for making that possible.The directions were clear and accurate. The last bit of road is gravel, but even my 23-year-old Toyota made it through. I’ll probably refresh the suspension before the next trip just for peace of mind. Wi-Fi was reliable and helped us sort out our local cell service before heading into town.Communication with the hosts was excellent. My wife and I both want to express our appreciation for how much care went into making our stay enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back when we can.Thank you.

This House is Tired
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.
Amazing property will definitely be reserving again in the future.

Great Beach Spot
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.

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!

Beachfront house
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.

My family had a wonderful relaxing vacation
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.
