Luxurious Casita on the Beach
Property description Intimate Hideaway on the Beach
Luxurious one-bedroom casita just steps from sand of the Sea of Cortez. Perfect for a couple looking for a romantic get-a-way or a solo traveler desiring special accommodations on the water.
Imagine being lulled to sleep by the sound of the sea in a king size feather-topped bed and waking to the brilliant colors of the sunrise behind Isla Carmen. Custom designed and hand-built cedar furniture incorporates sea glass and shells along with overstuffed leather sofas adorn the 755 square foot casita. Fully equipped kitchen has 5 burner stove, microwave, Calphalon cookware and granite countertops. Both the interior and exterior bathrooms incorporate hand painted tiles and oversized mirrors.
The front patio is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise with morning coffee or evening cocktails as the sky changes color behind the islands. Out back, a 50’ lap pool and entertainment center with state-of-the-art gas grill, sit-down bar and outdoor dining area. Separate poolside half bath and outdoor showers, along with pool toys, beach chairs and umbrella. In the garage, standup paddle boards, two kayaks, and two bicycles for your enjoyment
Flat screen TV, DVD, satellite cable, wireless Internet, books, DVDS, 500 count cotton sheets and fluffy towels complete the interior amenities. Separate A/C units for each room – including the bathroom – insure temperature control to personal tastes.
A full-time caretaker is on the grounds to answer questions or help you arrange for a fishing trip – with beach front pickup – or a day exploring the islands.
Casita de Catalina is less than a mile from town – a short walk on the beach – or 5 minutes by car from the heart of Loreto. Restaurants, grocery stores, fishing excursion, scuba lessons and/or dive trips, winter whale watching, glass-bottom boat tours, kayaking adventures, hikes up oasis-like canyons and mule rides to local ranchos can all be arranged. A walk on the pristine Malecon, through the historic district and the waterfront Zocolo will further flavor your Loreto experience - truly a "Pueblo Magico."

The Casita I stayed in was fabulous. It’s right on the beach, it’s well appointed, private and chill. I felt safe as a single woman. There are a few things that need attention, but nothing major.
The experience was so memorable! The cottage is right on the sea, pool was wonderful, the room was clean, and the amenities were perfect! The owner was very responsive and the space was extremely safe.
Everything about this place is marvelous. We’re not kidding. We made a list of all the things we loved about Catalina’s Casita and tried to pick the one we appreciated the most … it was a close call but the Pelican Show immediately following the sunrise won! The list for second place is too long to include here. All we can say is that we can’t wait to return. Ramón y Rebecca
We are repeat customers and always find this comfy casita to be a 5-star experience. It's a peaceful location, right on the beach. We love being able to watch the sun rise over the Sea of Cortez, fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and just generally enjoy soaking in the beauty of the place. Highly recommended!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the lovely casita and on the grounds. Sunrises were stunning. Downtown was memorable for its architecture and vegetation.
It was an ideal beach vacation with all the amenities, comfort, serenity and wow that view never gets old! The most amazing sunrises! Casa Catalina has everything you need to enjoy a vacation. Catharine is a great hostess and we will be back as soon as we can.
Wonderful place. Hosts were amazing and accommodating. Couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful!
Location is great, walking distance to downtown and all the shops and restaurants.
Highly recommend this casita.
Such a wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful casita on the beach! Catharine and Rigo went out of their way to be accommodating and make us feel welcome for our first trip to Loreto.The morning kayaks, lap pool and of course steps to the ocean were a few of the highlights. We also enjoyed the daily walk into town. We look forward to visiting again!
This was a very comfortable casita steps from the sea. We had our morning swim in the gentle waves watching the sunrise. There was everything we needed and desired and the lap pool was a treat. Kayaking in the gentle waters, biking to town and through the Baja desert and walking up many small streets to find treasures. This spot made for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
With a lap pool six steps from one door and the Sea of Cortez 12 steps out the other door, this is the perfect place for a couple who enjoy the water. Kayaks and SUPs there for your use, with a local fellow available to pick you up from the beach to take you for a day of snorkeling or fishing. Bikes available to ride the 3/4 mile into town for excellent food, or you can walk there on the beach. A true 10 out of 10 place to stay.
We loved this casita so much last year, we returned for another visit. This is the absolute best location to stay in Loreto. We loved being on the beach, watching the sun rise over Isla del Carmen, kayaking from right in front of the casita, falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves. The whole experience was amazing!
this beautiful little house is so perfect and so romantic for two. away from town and very private. lovely bed, comfy furniture, great swimming pool. catharine and her onsite caretaker rigo are super kind and responsive. highly recommend ! the view will captivate all day long. we rented a little car from gerardo garcia who was great and that let us bop around town to all our fav restaurants and the grocery so we could cuddle up and watch movies and cook simple dinners. muy romantica.
The home and property were amazing. The weather was warm and beautiful. Waking every morning to beautiful sunrises and just steps to the beach can’t be beat. I admit I was apprehensive about having a daily grounds keeper at the rental, cause we wanted our privacy. Rigo was not intrusive in any way and he was a great asset for answering questions. We plan to return again.
Everything was excellent. The casita is cozy and has everything you need -- full kitchen, king-width bed, lap pool, outdoor dining, plenty of outdoor seating, and direct access to the beach. I looked out the window every morning and watched the sun rise. We sat on the beach chairs and stared at the sea, watching the pelicans dive for fish. This place is gorgeous, clean, and located in the sweet spot on the edge of town. We didn't make use of many of the amenities (kayaks, etc.) but everything listed was present and accessible. The host and her associates were incredibly welcoming and responsive. Much like Loreto itself, they were friendly and low-key. If you're like my wife and don't like bugs, you're in luck -- aside from the rare mosquito and frequent butterfly, there weren't any to speak of.The pics truly represent what's here but don't really capture how comfortable it is. We thought it was well worth the cost. Also, during the lead up to our stay, the host was very responsive to business matters and questions about Loreto. I've traveled some and stayed in vacation properties frequently, and this was easily a top-tier experience. Highly recommend.
The casita is beautifully appointed and perfectly comfortable for a couple. Hang out on the beach side, enjoying beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Hang out in the pool or lounge in the sun. So relaxing. Quick drive into town. Catharine’s suggestions are spot on. Rigo is friendly and helpful. Definitely planning on coming back. Need to stay longer next time.
We enjoyed having sup, kayaks and bikes available, as well as a terrific guide recommendation for trip to Coronado Island. During much of our stay, it was quite windy. That put us inside more than we would have liked. The house is well designed to stay cool, but when it’s windy and cooler, outside, it doesn’t get very warm inside. The area by the pool does get sun and stay warm and pleasant. I’d recommend this house but would probably come a few weeks later, next time.
This was our first experience in Loreto. We talked about it for years and it turned out to be what we expected. A beautiful beach community without the crowds of Cabo. The casita we stayed at was perfect. On the waterfront. Listening to the soft waves hitting the sand. Watching the Pelicans indulge in breakfast.The Casita was great. Detached with a walkway to the courtyard and the ability to just lounge under an umbrella when we wanted to sit poolside instead of the beach. Very easy coming and going without feeling that we are bothering anyone. Our host was extremely quick to respond to any question we would have( which were few). Super quiet and relax full place and location. Walk into town is eazy and had a place to park a car when we decided to explore the area further.
