About this property

Traditional stone palapa retreat with ocean and desert views

"Casa Piedras", the house of Stone, is remotely located within the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. The house is situated in the pristine bay of Las Barracas, backing to the Sierra De Lagunas mountains.

This little “off the grid” casa brings inside living outside with the fully covered veranda porch. There you can have your coffee and watch the sunrise with all the morning bird activity. You can view the vibrant animal life of the Sea of Cortez with seasonal whales traveling through, jumping manta rays, and ospreys perched scanning for their next meal. At night, feel as though you are among the stars in an area with virtually zero light pollution. Directly across the roadway is Las Barracas beach where you can go for a kayak paddle, look for the signs of nesting sea turtles or just lay in the warm sand and read a book.

The quaint town Cabo Pulmo is a 1.5-mile drive south. There you will find several restaurants, scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing operators, and whale watching tours. Another 3 miles south is Playa Los Arbilitos, a fantastic protected beach with amazing snorkeling, gentle waves, and smooth sand that makes this beach great for children. Twenty miles farther south, the famous surfing spots begin such as Nines Palms and Shipwrecks. In the opposite direction, is the small town of La Riberia, where you can get limited groceries or have an over-the-top cocktail at the Four Seasons. Twenty minutes further north is the Larger town of Los Barriles. It is known for its outstanding kiteboarding and windsurfing. This town is busy with a high Expat population and a multitude of shops. Los Barriles also houses many sports fishing charters companies.

Perfect spot to enjoy Cabo Pulmo!

Great stone house with a beautiful view to the water, lovely trees and nice landscaping. The home feels very private and has all you would need for a trip to the East Cape. We loved walking on the beach, relaxing under the palapa and looking at the Baja book collection!!

What an amazing place

The house is amazing, the yard and outside space is terrific with great views of the water. It’s an easy 2 minute walk to an almost empty beach. The house has everything you need for a great relaxing vacation. Stay up late and see the stars; the best we’ve ever seen! .

Cabo Pulmo relaxation

Needed a week to relax and be lazy, the house was perfect. Beach is a 1 min walk and was empty pretty much every day we were there. We were able to watch whales one of the days from the porch, we brought binoculars but there was a small spotting scope there. Cabo Pulmo is a short drive, maybe 10 min with a few restaurants and dive shops. We tried a few of the restaurants and really liked the Pelican. Would recommend this place if you’re looking to unwind.

quiet & relaxing with great views

Great location, private and quiet, with excellent indoor/outdoor seating areas. Nicely landscaped with a variety of flora and fauna to watch while relaxing on the patio. Short walk to the beach and a short drive into town for a snorkelling trip or to eat at the local restaurants.

Stone House

The house book needs an update. The Wifi information and password are incorrect and other parts seem outdated. Although common, the water pressure was rather weak. This may not be fixable, but more explanation in advance creates a better expectation. Overall, the house was great and nicely assembled.

Delightful

What a beautiful meticulous home! We felt relaxed the minute we arrived. Everything we could have wanted was there. Wished we had booked more nights! Kids enjoyed sleeping on the couch and town was a close drive for good food and world class snorkeling. Beautiful sunrises and view. Definitely book this place!

Open water swimming

Wonderful, quiet place to stay a short walk across the road from a perfect beach for open water swimming (2 adult children training for an Olympic length triathlon). Appreciated the kayaks for encouraging them to swim harder. Perfect spot to relax from the craziness of US life right now. Short dive to wonderful snorkeling at Cabo Pulmo

Full of character

My husband and I truly appreciated the care that the owner obviously has for his very special house. Amazingly peaceful. I want to give a special call out to William, the property manager. He was so communicative and helpful, coming to the house on a couple of occasions just to make sure all was well. We shall return!!!

Exceeded expectations - beautiful views and gorgeous home

The house is unique and well stocked with everything you need for a relaxing stay. In the morning on the front deck, the birds would come by to visit and chirp. In the evening, the stars were so brilliant and bright and we would lay outside staring at the sky. The water is a close walk across the street and so blue. We tried to get up early to see the amazing sunrise each day. This place is a treasure and we were so thrilled to be able to stay in such an awesome home in a beautiful place. The caretaker is close by and can assist with any issues/concerns if needed. We highly recommend :)

An amazing two weeks

The house was better than expected. We spent time every night, listening to the ocean and watching the stars. The recommendations for snorkeling and fishing were great, and we had an unbelievable experience with both. You’re just enough outside of Cabo Pulmo to have a lot of privacy, but close enough to run in and have some amazing food. Do your shopping on the way in for big things, but everything we needed we could get at a local store or just up the road in La Ribera. If we had questions or needed anything, the caretaker was readily available, and more than willing to help with everything. Would definitely come back again and plan to in the next few years.

Amazing place - bien tranquilo

My wife and I spent a week here in January. House was totally private and very comfortable, with beautiful spaces to spend time both inside and out, and always a view of the sea and the mountains. Beach is just a quick walk away. Especially liked the outside dining area. Kitchen had all the dishes and other supplies you could ask for, even things like lime squeezers. My wife fell in love with the large antique butcher block table and wants one for our home! We really appreciated the obvious care and attention to layout and decor of the house - there were beautiful things everywhere. And also a nice selection of books, games etc. that we took advantage of. Cabo Pulmo town is a short drive or walk over the hill, so very convenient, but it was nice to be a little ways away. We hope to be back sometime!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Meyer

Host profile image
My wife and I live at beautiful Lake Tahoe, where I am a builder and she is a retired firefighter. We love to travel the world but also love spending time at both our home locations. At some point in our lives we will be living in Mexico for more of the year but until then have opened the house up to others to use. We hope you find it as comfortable as we do and make it your home base to discover Southern Baja!

Why they chose this property

I starting traveling around Baja before I was even in high school and after investigating about every nook and cranny, leaving barely one grain of sand unturned, I knew that the area around Cabo Pulmo was my dream location. I love the remoteness, the pristine waters, and the desolate beaches. The many locals have become my extended family. I enjoy every minute that I am able to escape to this quieter world and hope that you too will enjoy it as I do.
