Perfect Location!

I've been visiting baja for 30 years and Casa Martini has one of the only wide, sandy, beautiful beaches at all times of the year. Being so close to two of the best restaurants, it was a great find. We didn't have to drive far for anything. The Davids put such a great decorating flair to the apartments and their special touches of wine, donuts and great coffee made our stay feel better than home! So wish I had brought my dog!

An amazing place to stay!

This had to be one of our favorite Airbnb's that we've ever stayed in. The grounds were beautiful, the house we stayed in was romantic, relaxing, colorful, had all the amenities you could ask for, the view of the beach and the house yard was spectacular. The hosts David and David were so accommodating and friendly. We even went to dinner with them the first night and had a great time. I could not recommend a better place than La Mision. And the cherry on top was that they wash your car right before you leave. The location was perfect as you are right in the middle of Ensenada and Rosarito Beach. The wineries are around 20 minutes away. And if you don't feel like driving to eat, there are two really good restaurants right down the street. And the beach is right down a flight of steps and is private. We loved La Mision and can't wait to go back!! Karen and Dorene

#PLATINUM EXPERIENCE IN BAJA

I just re-read all of the reviews for this ocean property to see what I could add, and so to those of you looking at this rental, just believe all of them! This place is as wonderful as described: there is beauty wherever you look, inside or out. The photos faithfully depict the scene you'll enjoy. But the main thread that runs through all the reviews is the impact of property owner David Worthy who personally took the experience to the Platinum level. It was his vision that made the property so unique and, yes, over-the-top memorable. Yet it is the passion and joy he still holds for the little piece of paradise he created and shares with all of his guests that creates the atmosphere. If we're honest, pure joy isn't something we witness that often. Happy host, happy guests! We were extremely lucky during our four-night Christmas stay with our labrador, Abby (who I must say also showed unbridled joy on her daily off-the-leash runs on the wide uncrowded beach). We not only received David's greeting and tour of the casita, the bottle of wine, fruit, chocolates, delicious pastries, coffee, etc., but we were invited to he and his partner David's fun Christmas Eve party. We were so glad we went. Let me tell you, they and their friends from the La Mision community are so much fun! Thank you Dos Davids! My husband and I (and our three sons) have been going to the beaches of Northern Baja for 50 years (now with grandkids) . We've rented everywhere from San Antonio close to the U.S. border to Bajamar, but found La Mision about five years ago . Even in summer the beach isn't that crowded, but you can rent horses and ride them on the beach. Nearby is the famous (now two) La Fonda restaurant and you really don't have to go anywhere. But if you do, It's also only 15 minutes to a great lobster dinner in Puerto Nuevo and less than 30 minutes to wine country. The main reason we were so happy to find this casita is that we don't have to wait for a family vacation to come and visit. Casa Martini is a perfect couple getaway whether you're old like us or a young couple. And if you have never been brave enough to drive to Baja, I stongly encourage you to do so, Easy signs guide you to the Rosarito/Ensenada cuota and soon you'll be taking the La Fonda off ramp and drive into guard-gated La Mision. Don't let the "messy" scenes you see along the route bother you; all will be beautiful when you arrive at Casa Martini. Oh and come in winter: it's cold but beautiful!

Simply Amazing

Even before arrival, the hosts communicated so well with us making travel and check in simple! Upon arrival, we were greeted with open arms and given the VIP treatment. The house was so amazing, easy access to beach, local restaurants, and short drives to major cities. Couldn’t have asked for a better location and hosts! WILL BE BACK SOON

A surprising little regalo by the sea

If you're looking for eclectic art, spectacular garden and ocean views, short walks to a perfect beach, more amenities than you could wish for, and two of the most inviting hosts you could meet, David and David have it all. Everything from fresh fruit, to comfy beds, to amazing decor, to insider restaurant advice reveals itself at Casa de Bella like a slowly unwrapped gift. From the photos we expected enchanting and quirky; but the experience of the Davids' artist loft is so much more because of the unexpected: luminous sunsets that literally fill your room; a chilled six-pack in the fridge; a crackling fire in the chimenea; fresh local pastry waiting in the morning; and maybe, just maybe, new friends (even furry ones!) you never knew you had. Don't visit this stunning sanctuary simply to go somewhere new; go to invite the magical.

Casa Martini Baja Mexico - “Casa de Bella” - Spectacular!

My wife and I had the best time here! David is the greatest host we’ve ever had. So friendly, generous, and funny! The property is by far the cutest in the area. Incredible, vibrant murals, amazing ocean view, and a really cool outdoor space for your dog. The interior is so comfortable you won’t want to leave, but you need to take the few steps to the longest stretches of beach in Baja! Highly recommended. Thank you David! We’ll be back for sure. See you soon!

A little slice of couple’s heaven!

This place is amazing and even better than the photographs! The host David is warm and welcoming and you immediately feel at home. Few highlights from our stay- The knowledge: David knows the area well and is always ready to share where to go and what to consider - take advantage of that! The grounds: First off, you feel very safe there as you are in a gated community and David's place is secured as well. The grounds are immaculate, including the dog garden (yes, there is a section dedicated to puppers!), from the plants to the decor, the murals (plural) to the detail work. The short walk to the beach is easy… unlike a lot of sections in the area, it's not down a cliffside (there are a few steps). The living space: The place is larger than we had expected w/a great, fully stocked kitchen, large bedroom, amazing fireplace, cozy couch, washer/dryer and perfect patio area. The view out the living room window, with the layers of garden, tiled roofs, crashing waves, & passing hummingbirds, is something you could stare out all day. The bed: Thankfully a very comfortable king bed. There is traffic noise from the highway, so you are aware, but it mostly blends into the sound of the ocean soothing you to sleep. The area: There are a number of restaurants closeby so you have options. North is Rosarito and South is Ensenada, so plenty to explore, however you may just want to stay at David's the whole time! For sure a 5 out of 5 stay - enjoy!

Best weekend EVER!!!

My husband and I frequent Baja several times a year and have stayed all over. This experience was by far the best we’ve had. David and David are exceptional hosts. The place was absolutely stunning. Our dog had a blast. It was quite literally perfection! When I first read the very favorable reviews for this place I wondered how it could be so good. Well now I know. Do yourself a favor and book this place asap! We cannot wait to go back! Thank you David x2 for everything!

Beyond words - Best Experience/ Beautiful Stay

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Casa Martini. David and David are hosts that dreams are made of. The attention to detail was exceptional with not a detail missed To create a five star experience. From the moment we arrived until when we pulled away we felt welcomed and cared for at every turn. While it seems impossible La Casa Martini is even more beautiful then the pictures. Everything was clean and tidy and you could tell a lot of thought was put into every decision. We arrived on a cooler night and David had the heat on to take the bite out of the air. Making our first steps into our home for the next several days cozy and inviting. The View from the patio and large bay window is unparalleled. Leaving you satisfied whether sitting inside or outside. The beach is only steps away making it an easy walk. The beach felt safe and was very clean. Every time we came and went David made an effort to check in with us to ensure we didn’t need anything. David is extremely Knowledgeable about the area and you can tell he loves where he lives and he’s proud to show it off. There was a fully stocked kitchen as described. You can tell David and David genuinely care about their guests and love meeting new people. We left feeling like we had a couple of new friends. We can think of no where else we would rather stay when visiting the area and will definitely visit again soon.

Extraordinary

Casa Martini is exquisite. Immaculately kept with a first class attention to detail. The casita is very well laid out and the interior is beautifully decorated, the large picture window with the view of the ocean is a highlight. The outside garden and sitting areas are a magical place to relax and watch the ocean and sunsets. The outside murals and decor make you feel like you are in an oasis (which you are!). One thing that sets this property apart from others we have rented is what wonderful hosts David and David are, thoughtful and highly personable. From the thorough orientation upon arrival, helpful suggestions about the area and gracious/prompt responses to any question we had, they go far above to make sure you feel welcome and comfortable. They also welcomed our little dog like she was family and looked in on her if we were away for the day - an added touch that made a huge difference. Absolutely everything you can think of is provided for you at Casa Martini, the list is too long to note here. Our 3 week stay was one of our best experiences with a vacation rental anywhere in the world & we highly recommend it! Thank you David & David for creating such a wonderful escape - we didn’t want to leave and are all ready looking forward to returning.

Wonderful Ocean View Casa

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Martini. David and David were great hosts and the Casa was amazing and fully stocked with everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed the large picture window all day, every day and the ocean view and sunsets were stunning. We loved exploring the area, from Rosarito to Ensenada and the wine region, the Casa is conveniently located to explore all three.(David has many good recommendations If you stumble on this gem, book it. Thanks, Andy and Terry

David is an incomparable host. This property and it's owner are phenomenal in every conceivable aspect. Words can't properly describe what a beautiful property this is and what a wonderful time we had staying here for a week so I won't even try. Just not enough time to describe it adequately! If this property is available when you make your plans, don't hesitate to book it immediately. You'll thank me later. Enjoy! Thanks for everything David!

A true get away

This was a vacation for us that was marked as the beginning of my retirement. A place to see the Baja coast and leave the rest behind for a while. Mission accomplished! I can't say enough good things about this property. It was home for 3 weeks. The pictures drew me in and they are accurate. Super safe gated community with very gracious hosts that live on site and belong to the community. Perfect location between Rosarito and Ensenada that gives a great base for day trips. Easy beach access. Small markets and great restaurants are close and everyone in the community was nice polite and helpful. If you're on the hunt for a place to stay stop hunting and book this spot or someone else will. Don't miss out.

A casita designed with VRBO guests in mind

Casa Martini is everything we were looking for in Baja Mexico to escape the Arizona summer heat. The casita with its beautiful Mexican tile work is a perfect showcase for the artwork, antiques and murals that Davidx2 have collected over their 41 years together. Even the bathroom sink is a designer collector's item! Davidx2 are gracious hosts and thoroughly enjoy canine visitors as well as human guests. We so appreciated having our puppy watched over and entertained when we were off to play golf. Also, we never lacked dining suggestions which we enjoyed for breakfast and lunch. However, for happy hour and dinner time we couldn't tear ourselves away from the peaceful patio overlooking the garden and the incomparable views of the semi private beach, the ocean's rolling waves, and the incredible sunsets. We have been to several VRBOs and Air B&B's in Mexico and Casa Martini will be the one we will be returning to now. Thank you both! Bonnie, Gary, and Abby August/Sept 2021

Cute colorful little guest house

It was my first trip crossed the border alone with my little puppy. I was naturally nervous and anxious until I entered the house. The host, David was most helpful and kind, treated me as if I was his personal guest. His garden is so lovely with flowering plants and succulents that I enjoyed the most in David’s place. Of course the beautiful beach! I’d like to stay at David’s Casa Martini again if I go back to Mexico. Lena

Great Vacation!

The photographs of Casa Margarita compelled us to choose this casita over other Baja Norte options and we were not disappointed! Surrounded by vibrant colors and original art this property offers great views of gardens, the surf and fantastic Pacific sunsets. The hosts were gracious, kind and committed to making our vacation an awesome experience. The beach was about a 5 minute walk away and compares to many of the beaches we have enjoyed in our 20 years of living in Baja Sur, in other words, it was a great beach. La Mision is close to excellent local restaurants and midway between Ensenada and Rosarito. It was a great vacation overall! Many thanks to DavidX2!

AMAZING

You read the reviews of David’s beautiful property and think they must be overstated...they are NOT! If anything, the photos and reviews do not do this oasis justice. David is the perfect host - he welcomed us with hugs upon arrival, and made himself available if we needed anything. The casita is perfection, and you could easily spend an entire weekend sitting on the porch staring at the amazing ocean view. The sunsets are stunning, there is easy access to a semi-private beach, and a it is a quick trip to Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe. What a perfect spot. We can’t wait to recommend to friends, and come back ourselves as soon as we can. Thanks, David!!!!
