Secluded Beach Front Estate with a Large Pool, Family and Pet Friendly!

A private estate on the beach with a private pool and every amenity to keep guests comfortable and entertained.

You are renting the entire estate with a guesthouse (the only one on the property) designed for family gatherings. The sandy beach of Punta Pescadero on the Sea of Cortez is the ultimate Baja vacation spot. Look down the uninhabited beach and watch the sunrise over the majestic Sea of Cortez.

Los Arcos is built on a massive lot with sweeping views of the sea and mountains. There are four large bedrooms: a suite (king-size bed) and two separate other bedrooms (two queen beds and a bunk bed). Each room has a separate full bath and shower. In addition, there is a casita suite detached with three queen beds and a full bath, perfect for the kids or overflow guests.
The separation of the various suites makes this ideal for several families or corporate business retreats. Every room has air conditioning and a circulation fan when temperatures heat up.
A huge covered veranda surrounds the entire house, where you can always find a quiet spot. We are on the beach, and stairs lead to the beach with its fire pit and covered Palapa. From there, walk over the sand into the warm Sea of Cortez to go snorkeling and look at the tropical fish and coral.
The Punta Pescadero resort is a short walk down the road. You can play horseshoes here and rent ATVs, scuba gear, and basketball. There is also a restaurant and a full bar overlooking the water, where they make great margaritas.
Linens and towels are included during your stay. If you want a daily cleaning service, a cook, or meals delivered. Our property manager is available to help you arrange activities, meals, and live music and fulfill all your expectations, be it fishing excursions or other local trips of interest. If you want any meals brought in or cooked at the house, he can supply you with a menu from his wife’s restaurant.
Fishing? You can rent a 26-foot super-panga with an experienced captain. Sierra, Pargo, Roosterfish, Yellowtail Tuna, and Marlin frequent this area. Our captains have grown up fishing in this area; no one knows it better!
ATV’s? You can rent and get them delivered to the house from Sergios ATV rentals. Both Quads and Razors are available for rent, and many trails and roads exist to explore. If you are a fisherman, an ATV gives you a massive advantage in chasing those roosterfish. During turtle nesting season, please don't ride on the beach!
Mountain Biking? Bikes are available from Punta Pescadero or Las Barriles, which have guided tours and will transport you to the top of the track by van for a wild ride down some of the best bike trails in Baja.
Paddle Boarding? We have two paddle boards for our guests at the house.
Kayaking? We have two kayaks at Los Arcos, and the secluded beach is the perfect starting point for your ocean adventures. Paddling among dolphins and manta rays is a great way to start the day.
Movies? Los Arcos has a dedicated DSL internet connection as an extensive collection of 300 DVD movies, NetFlix, and a stereo system.
Kiteboarding? A superb windsurfing and kiteboarding school is nearby for beginners, and experts enjoy the constant ocean breeze during the season.
Pickleball? A new pickleball resort is just a few minutes away, with classes and equipment for rent. It's a great way to keep the kids (and Adults) entertained and exercised. They also have one of the best restaurants in the area.
Scuba Diving? Check out the world famous Cabo Pulmo Marine park a short drive away.
Shopping? Plenty of local souvenir and convenience shops are in the nearby town of Los Barriles.
Restaurants? Steps away from the local resort restaurant, a short drive to several friendly local restaurants that serve fresh fish, lobster, and some of the best margaritas in the Baja
Horseback riding, hiking, swimming, ancient petroglyphs, kayaking, diving, fishing, dining.....Your adventure awaits in Baja's remaining paradise!

A quick note for those with small children: We love hosting families with kids; this is a magical place for them to explore. Just remember that the pool is uncovered, without gates or a lifeguard. Please monitor the little ones around the pool. We have a pool alarm for guests, but the best safety device is a watchful parent!

Beautiful property, absolute gem

I had a short but lovely stay at Arcos. Large kitchen, everything was clean and Jose Maria the property manager was friendly and attentive. The hotel down the road has a nice restaurant if you prefer not to cook at home, maybe a 2 minute drive! The view is stunning and the area is perfectly quiet and peaceful.

Amazing stay in this beautiful home

Jose Maria took care of every need that came up while staying in this amazing home. It’s exactly how it’s pictured in VRBO. We had planned to fish for 3 days, but the weather had other plans for us. We were lucky to have this place for the 2 days we couldn’t fish. I would definitely recommend it(and also recommend renting a sided by side) and would love to come back in the future!

Old Folks Family Getaway

WOW! Spacious and visually stunning. Seven family members all over 65 visited the first week of December. Never needed heat or air conditioning, just some sedatives to relax from the drive from Los Barriles. Had one of the best meals of my life cooked by Jose’s wife. A place to hang some clothes in the master bedroom and some grab bars in the bathroom would be appreciated.

Amazing wedding weekend at Los Arcos Estate

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Los Arcos! My now husband and I had a small ceremony on the beach with 20 family members and friends. Los Arcos was the perfect location for us to tie the knot! Jose Maria (the property manager) and Spencer (the owner) were both excellent at responding to emails and questions I had leading up to it. We catered both lunch and dinner and Jose Maria’s wife did an amazing job. The tres leche and carrot cakes were so delicious! I would highly recommend this place for a wedding, could be larger than 20 (just run the guest count by Spencer) or any event as well as just a place to stay. Having the hotel close by is also great because you could host other guests there. We didn’t find it an issue driving to the house in our truck/camper or our guests 2 wheel drive car. Just need to drive slowly My husband and I will be returning to celebrate anniversaries in the future!

A hidden gem

It’s true what they say about roads less traveled! Had a wonderful stay at Spencers home and would not hesitate to return. It’s a bit of work to get to this Punta Pescadero gem but I believe that’s what makes it so special and untouched. Pretty much had the beach to ourselves, the most amazing shell hunting, even saw a turtle mama laying her eggs right in front of the house! Recommend water shoes as it was rocky in front of the house. Very comfortable beds and air conditioning in each room that worked fantastic and was much appreciated. The side-by-side that was included for a day was great and would likely look into renting one for the entire stay. Definitely stock up with groceries before you get there as the house is isolated but the town of Cardinol a few mins away had some small restaurants and market that was very helpful and closer than los Barriles. I believe the hurricane washed out the roads so we found the road from Cardinol much easier to navigate getting to and from the house. We are already missing our spectacular morning sunsets and hope to return soon.

Nice property in a beautiful setting.

We are a group of 4 Class of 1967 high school buddies . In September we stayed here on our yearly one week fishing trip to the East Cape. The owner is very helpful and will give you plenty of helpful information. He always answered my numerous inquiries in a timely fashion. This house and 4 ample bedrooms was perfect for us.The location and quiet were what we were seeking.The facilities are top notch . Plenty of room. The deck is spacious and nice for lounging after a day of fishing.With the lapping of the waves the distant lightening and seaside view it doesn’t get much better. From a practical standpoint the house was well equipped. Plenty of cooking implements. There were 2 refrigerators and a stand alone freezer which worked well. we had no problem freezing the days catch. There was a vacuum sealer for packing the fish.The air conditioning also worked well throughout the house. The availability of fishing boats and associated services was also very good.If you are looking for a place to fish with few hassles,good results and a degree of luxury at what we thought was a reasonable price this is it. We are all looking forward to our next trip.I would highly recommend it.

Lovely remote beachfront property

The house was well equipped, well maintained, and perches right above the beach. There were lots of nice extras like snorkeling gear, paddle boards and kayaks and fluffy beach towels. We liked the beach cabana and fire pit too. Jose Maria, the caretaker, came each day to refresh our water and see to our needs. Griselda, his wife, delivered a spectacular dinner one night complete with a huge tres leches cake that won’t soon be forgotten. Getting to Los Argos is something of a challenge. Our car was a small compact, not the standard issue 4 wheel drive and while we made it without incident it was a challenge. Take the coast road from Los Barriles only in the day light and only if you are a confident driver. The house is not marked as Los Arcos and you won’t be given an address so good luck identifying it. We had to ask the neighbors to make sure we weren’t breaking and entering. There were eight of us so the four bedrooms worked fine, as it would if you weren’t all couples but had kids with you that you could pile into the back bedroom. That room has three double beds, a bathroom that was decidedly less than the others and a sort of moldy yet bleachy smell. The other three bedrooms open out to a huge varanda all with great views. The folks in the back bedroom definitely draw the short end of the bedroom stick. Good thing everything else is so beautifully done that they didn’t mind. Spencer contacted us a couple of times to see all was well, which we appreciated. It was a good, remote get away.

Amazing tranquility off the beaten path

Casa Los Arcos is a gem of a spot. The huge home and humble casita have plenty of room for three families (we had 11 total). The separation of space was great, and all the rooms were comfortable and well furnished. The backup generator was great when others on the beach lost electricity one evening. The wrap-around patio is a great feature. It offers plenty of room to be outside without being in the direct sun, perfect for reading and meals. The pool was excellent, and the beach provided quick access to great snorkeling.One cautionary point for those considering this spot is that the road to Punta Pescadero is rough. A Jeep or similar, heavier-duty SUV is more comfortable (though not required) than a simple crossover. This is a great place to hunker down for lazy days in the water. We needed to drive more than we planned, and would have preferred not to have to drive that road as much.

Access from San Jose Airport

The place was incredible! The road access was a little primitive. We made it fine but it would have been valuable to know that there was a more improved road available (That didn’t show up as an option on Google Maps). We would have gladly taken the longer more paved road to the property but saying that it was a tremendous location and property and we will definitely put it on our places to go back to.

House Near Punta Pescadero

House was nice, spacious &AC worked well. We had an issue w/the water upon arrival, but it was quickly taken care of. The house manager isn’t the easiest to get in touch with, as he doesn’t always reply in a timely manner, but the owner stepped in&got our water situation solved. The house isn’t cleaned daily (we were told that up front) but my husband suggested they should offer a price for daily cleaning service which would’ve been nice. The snorkel gear, kayaks&floats were a plus! The pool was super nice. Off of the pool, there is a sandy area and now I see why that’s a feature bc the beach is very, very rocky! Cool shells, though. It’s a terrific price& house for the area. We loved being secluded but also having the ability to go to dinner at Punta Pescadero &LaDona for an amazing breakfast! This is our 5th trip to Baja/East Cape area and our 4th house rental and we’ll definitely be back! Here’s a tip that doesn’t really have anything to do with the house - While the house does come w/1 day ATV rental, in order to get around, you’ll need one the whole time you’re there. The rental company the free one day is with, in our opinion, doesn’t offer as good quality ATVs as some of the others. Our group got 1- 4 seaters (beyond the free use)but it has zero cargo space so we also rented what’s considered a 6-seater that had a little truck bed and Bluetooth. It came very clean but on the 1st morning, the tire blew and that cost us addt’l $225

Beautiful Baja-cation!

What a great week in Baja! A perfect location to escape the tourist crowds and enjoy the sand, sun. and surf. The property is off the beaten path (travel time includes some dirt road) but it is worth it and directions are spot on. Stop in Los Barilles for groceries (a full store) and if you run out of anything there are small markets close or the property manager, Jose Maria, can bring stuff buy (he brought us ice and wine!!) Make sure and order dinner at least one night from his wife. The house is great - could have slept 16-18 but didn't feel overwhelming to the 6 of us - just space to spread out. A fabulous kitchen with everything you could possible need for cooking. My sons spearfished and brought back dinner multiple nights. Jose Maria and Armando are great and happy to help. Spencer (property host) is the most responsive I've ever met on VRBO. Great insights and answers all questions. Rent a UTV for the week - it's easier than a car for day trips. We will be back!!

Remote, beautiful setting away from everything

Punto Pescadero is a stunning coastline, and Casa de Los Arcos boasts some of the best sunrises and views you will ever see. However, you have to drive 45 minutes on very challenging roads from Los Barriles, and there is very little closer to the house. Out of milk? It will take you an hour round trip to get to a tiny market by dirt road. But once you get there, Agustin sometimes has his adjacent taqueria open, and will graciously whip up some seafood tacos! The house is spacious, mildly dated, and made to accommodate several parties in separate spaces. The “casita” (garage, really) is not up to the standards of the other bedrooms, but would be fine for some teenagers or older kids. We had two activities arranged by José María, the house manager. The vendors expected me to pay them directly and in cash (you should bring thousands of dollars in cash with you). I would have preferred to make the arrangements myself so that I knew the costs and payment arrangements up front. It was not very helpful for me to have someone else book these things. JM’s wife Griselda made an incredible dinner and tres leches cake for us. Overall, this is a good off-the-beaten-path DIY trip for adventurous, self-sufficient families who don’t mind some mishaps and inconveniences along the way. Hernando the groundskeeper is helpful with fixing things (check the SUPs and kayaks before using - both were broken).

Perfect Family Vacation

Planned a family vacation upon my retirement. We needed 4 bedrooms to accommodate 4 separate household groups staying with us and this house was perfect! The descriptions are accurate and nothing is “oversold” on the website. We found that side-by-sides (SxS) were the way to go for local travel and runs into Los Barilles vs rental car. Jose and Armando are super friendly and attentive to any needs you might have (we will miss seeing them). Spencer is always friendly and super responsive if you have questions. For us, the best part of the home was its remote location, the private layout for multiple groups, the pool, the beach palapa, and the covered porch (ok, I listed almost everything). We do like our privacy and this house/location was absolutely perfect. Now that we have returned to the US, our kids have already responded that was the “trip of a lifetime” due to the location we chose. Snorkeling in front of the house was good and there is a great location just beyond the nearby resort. Only saw other people on the beach 2 days out of our 10 day stay. We have been to Cabo several times and much prefer the quieter Sea of Cortez side. Our choice to stay at “Los Arcos” could not have been better for our group of 7. Thanks Spencer, Jose, and Armando!

Family trip

Los Arcos is as advertised simply a gem in a magical area on the Sea of Cortez! Away from the crowds it's like booking your own boutique hotel. The pool and veranda were very nice features as well as world class snorkeling around the point. We enjoyed music and a bon fire one night on the private beach. Jose Maria and Armando the grounds keeper were very friendly and helpful during our stay. We recommend if making arrangements for prepared dinners which were wonderful and proportionally appropriate or fishing trips/ mariachi/any other request do so verbally and thru the whats app so nothing gets mixed up or lost in translation. El Cardinal the closest town is rural however we found that the Modelo market and Pacifico market across the street from each other had all of the essentials including ground coffee which was challenging to find. Friday thru Sunday there is a wonderful produce stand across the street from the school. Buyer beware if adding on days to the one day UTV included rental. We were quoted one price and charged another. Spencer is working with the grounds keeper to get the property up to his standards. Although the palm trees add ambiance they need trimmed and partially block watching sea life that the Sea of Cortez has to offer. Amazing place and host, we will be back!! Thank you Spencer for sharing your home!

PERFECT family retreat

Wow. Cannot say enough amazing things about this beautiful paradise. We've stayed in several rental houses along the Sea of Cortez and I just could not believe the views. They are perfectly framed by the architectural arches that elevate the authentic Mexican design of this massive property. I found myself outside as much as possible. When I needed to be inside to cook I would open the windows and curtains just so I could continue to enjoy the views. Beautiful swaying hammocks rock with the sea winds. The palms join the waves in an amazing melody of pure bliss. I paddled out on a SUP to find myself within yards of a whale. Carefully I paddled the opposite direction then enjoyed whale watching the remainder of our stay-and yes, very easy to spot whales from the wrap around outdoor spaces. This place is perfect for families who want to congregate in large common areas, but have the room to separate at night by having their own space and bathrooms. Even several of the outdoor areas can provide opportunities for several generations to do their own thing. I could go on forever. Take my word. This house is the destination. You will have the opportunity to order in food through the gracious host, or just walk down to the resort and enjoy the amazing cuisine they have to offer. Shrimp tacos were my favorite.

Los Arcos is a magical place.

A few years ago, we stayed at the Punta Pescadero Paradise Hotel, and walked along the row of homes north of the hotel. When I saw "Los Arcos," I wished we could bring our sons and their children there for a family retreat. When I found the home on VRBO, I was beyond pleased. We absolutely loved our time at Los Arcos. The three bedrooms facing the sea were especially gorgeous, and we loved the deck surrounding the house. The kitchen was well equipped for a rental. The kids had a great time on the beach and in the water. I do suggest bringing wetsuits if you come in January--the pool was too cold to use, and the sea water was also chilly. There were a few jellies, but not enough to keep people out of the water. From the deck we saw whales breaching, dolphins leaping, and manta rays jumping. In fact, several of the kids swam with the mantas. We also enjoyed four wheeling to a waterfall and rock paintings. Birdwatching was also very good. We love Los Arcos and can't wait to go back.

Family New Years reunion

Property is very well maintained. Had a bit of trouble with the plumbing in the casita but Armondo, Chino and Jose Maria were great and very attentive to our needs. Loved being able to call on them for food and a bit of grocery runs. We were so greatful to have them all there to help when needed. We had 10 in our group the house pool and beach were wonderful! A great time to decompress catch up on family and just enjoying time together. The Atvs were so much fun. We did travel into Los Barrilles for picklebAll. A must do! Over all everyone enjoyed the trip and had so much fun.
