“The Attention to Detail in the CalyCanto Casitas is Remarkable.”

BBQ at CalyCanto Casitas July 2010

CalyCanto Casitas are every bit what has been written about them!  There is no question that the amazing beaches  the weather, the proximity to Todos Santos and many great restaurants, fresh fruit and vegie markets, some of the friendliest people in the world and lots of peace and quiet are what makes this such a unique vacation destination!  I would however like to give you a unique perspective on both Todos Santos and CalyCanto!  At 64 years of age and from Canada originally, I have been retired for almost 20 years and have lived in over 60 countries over these last 20 years!  From Africa, to Asia,  the US,  the Caribbean  Hawaii several times, Australia and New Zealand and many years in numerous countries in Europe!  I have rented more properties around the globe than most people could ever imagine (every month and every year for almost 20 years as I have no primary residence anywhere on this planet)!

Given this rather unique perspective, I can say without hesitation that our last four months at CalyCanto have rivaled anywhere else I have stayed  in the world!!   If there is anyone qualified to make such a statement, I feel I am!  While there is so much already said about CalCanto and Todos Santos on other posts, one can only appreciate just how good this place is by being here!  We have all been disappointed numerous times by being fooled by all the pretty pictures and wonderful accolades about a property!  NOT this time.  CanyCanto is everything that is said about it and then some!  So much so that we are returning to CalyCanto for the winter and are planning to make Todos Santos home in 2011!  If you truly wish to experience everything you read about Todos Santos and CalyCanto , then I highly recommend you come and see it for yourself  The management and US ownership guarantees that added peace of mind that one comes to expect from a property of this quality!

CalyCanto with the Guys

The CalyCanto Casitas are a perfect, affordable, tranquil place to spend some time relaxing in southern Baja. Ideally situated for surfers and non-surfers alike about two miles from the break at La Pastora and about the same distance to the town of Todos Santos, CalyCanto is an unusual find in Baja. The ammenities and attention to detail are first rate, with luxuriously appointed modern comforts.

The site managers Enrique and Cecilia are very hands off, but friendly, helpful people, who are available whenever you need them. Jim, one of the owners, is similarly an easy-going guy who was a pleasure to work with. I went down with a couple of surf buddies, and it was certainly the nicest accommodations we’ve had for a surf trip! I definitely plan to return, either on another surf adventure, with the family, or as a romantic getaway with the wife.

What a wonderful place! CalyCanto is the perfect getaway – there are not many places where you can escape to a place so tranquil. We spent our nights sipping cocktails and watching the sun set under the second floor palapa, our days lying on the endless beach across the road from the property, whale watching, and my husband took advantage of the great surf at La Pastora – just a few minutes away. We loved the outdoor shower off the master bedroom — open enough to see the beach/sunset views yet completely private. The kitchen and living room area is spacious and open which made for a great room to entertain and cook all at once (we even had a local come in and cook for us one night). The town of Todos Santos is so charming and just close enough to CalyCanto that it’s easy to get groceries, check out the art galleries, shop, etc. We also enjoyed several wonderful restaurants in town. I would highly recommend CalyCanto for the traveler that wants a relaxing trip with great weather, amazing beaches and beautiful views.

Todos Santos Sunset

We frequent the Todos Santos area every year and on our most recent trip in December we stayed at the Calycanto property. Attention to detail is the first thing that came to my mind when I walked in the door.

We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. The upstairs bedroom has an attached bath with a magnificant outdoor shower leading to a small balcony. Also upstairs is the outside palapa where we watched the famous Todos Santos sunsets.

The downstairs bedroom also has an attached bathroom and a great Palo de Arco covered patio for relaxing or reading a book.

The open kitchen is small but has all the necessary appliances. Nothing has been overlooked in the design of Calycanto.

We can’t wait till our next visit!!

Catching One at Pastora

The attention to detail in the CalyCanto Casitas is remarkable. The saltillo and Talavera tiles are simply gorgeous. With ample ocean, mountain and desert views the casitas offer the best of Baja Sur – luxurious accomodations just minutes from the center of the magical pueblo of Todos Santos.

We stayed three nights. Although our villa was still being completed, we were more than comfortable. The pillow-top mattresses are a rarity in Mexico as are showers with solid water pressure such as those in the villla.

The nearby surf break provided consistent overhead waves and warm water. The sunsets were all time. The onsite managers, Enrique and Cecilia, were extremely friendly and accomodating. When complete, CalyCanto Casitas will no doubt stand as one of the finest propoerties in the region. I look forward to returning soon!

From the Hammock

About an hour drive north of Cabo San Lucas, through the cozy town of Todos Santos, and down a long dirt road towards the beach, these casitas are about as removed from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives as you can get. Yet with high-speed internet access, you can still tend to things back home if you need to.

Each casita is equipped with everything you need. A fully stocked kitchen with center island, large comfortable couches in the living room, beautiful authentic furniture throughout, and two bedrooms suites – one up and one down – for complete privacy. The upstairs bedroom not only has it’s own balcony, but also a private outdoor shower to wash the sea salt off as you bathe in the warm rays of the afternoon sun. There’s also a covered roof top deck, soon to be complete with hammocks: perfect for sippin’ margaritas while watching the sun slowly set over the Pacific ocean.

If you’re looking for a place to forget it all, look no further. The CalyCantos Casitas are it. Like me, you’ll wish you never had to leave.

The Long Ride Home

CalyCanto is comprised of 3 beautiful homes with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The area is safe, quiet and provides an opportunity to “check-out”. Each home is fully furnished with old word Mexico taste and charm. Each includes a fully stocked / full size kitchen, high-speed wireless internet, gorgeous bedrooms with amazing comfy beds and views and fantastic outdoor living spaces. Each house is custom built and I was blown away with the attention to detail including authentic talavera and sautillo tiles throughout. The master bedroom on the 2nd floor has an outdoor shower looking over the pacific. Each casita has EVERYTHING YOU NEED to enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.

Sit outside in your own private second story palapa deck and watch spectacular afternoon sunsets or stargaze to the sound of the surf and coyotes howling at night. Walk along empty beaches for miles and miles and witness pods of Whales breaching and spouting so close to shore you can hear them! Enjoy wonderfully diverse cuisine in town or cook your own fresh caught fish in a wonderfully appointed kitchen, and enjoy outdoors on your own covered private patio.

If you are seeking outdoor adventure, you’ll have easy access to world class fishing, diving, and surfing. The water was 80 degrees! There are also amazing hiking trails, eco-adventures and wildlife excursions.

The casitas are located just north of Todos Santos down a easy to drive dirt road. You truly feel like you are in the baja of old with beautiful empty beaches, and cactus fields as far as the eye can see.

Enjoy!
