When you leave the conveniences of your home, entering this beautiful region of rural Mexico, you leave behind the expectations that everything is going to happen smoothly. While this sounds like an inconvenience, instead it is what makes this space magical. We get to slow down and remember what is truly necessary, appreciating what is important. We have this unique opportunity to take a step back and experience Baja as it is, not how we want it to be. *Please keep in mind you are in a gorgeous developing area of Baja that is still under development. The entire area of Cerritos is pretty much under construction. If you are sensitive to noise, this may not be the place for you. It is not unreasonable to hear projects from time to time, within reason. Please keep in mind this is a desert and beach environment. You may encounter critters and various indigenous animals on the property including but not limited to, roaches, lizards, scorpions, insects, rabbits and other free roaming desert and beach animals. Please try and keep an eye out and be aware you are in their environment and space as well :) Sometimes the insects can easily get into your space, so please keep windows and doors closed as much as possible (especially during the summer months)! LATE CHECKOUT/EARLY CHECK-IN- We can sometimes accommodate depending on our housekeeper and their schedule. Please inquire prior to your stay. Fee: $500 peso PER a request!

There is a lot to explore in and around Cerritos Beach and Todos Santos. There are amazing beaches, art galleries, great restaurants and more. Your trip will be more enjoyable if you take advantage of being mobile. There are rental car companies at the airport, but you will get better rates if you plan ahead. If you choose not to rent a car, you can take a taxi to/from the airport, or we can get you a certified driver. Keep in mind however, there is limited taxi service in our area. We recommend Cactus Rent a Car at the Los Cabos Airport. 2. Are the roads safe? Yes, they are safe. Our 4 lane highway was completed a few years ago . This increased the safety of the road and shortened the trip time from the airport to us and vice versa. 3. How far is it from the airport to Cerritos Beach? It is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cerritos Beach is only 40 miles North of Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific Ocean side. 4. Are there restaurants near by the resort?

Definitely try these restaurants within walking distance of the condo: Barracuda Cantina (delicious seafood tacos and hand crafted cocktails), Don Nacho, Cerritos Surf Town restaurant on the beach , Napoli pizza place in Villa De Cerritos (wood-fired pizzas), Shaka's Cantina (gringo sports bar) . All of these restaurants are close to Cerritos beach. You can also drive into town. El Pescadero is 5 minutes away and Todos Santos is 10 minutes away. Both towns have fantastic restaurants! Hierbabuena in Pescadero and The Green Room in Todos Santos are nicer restaurants with great vibes!

Sunscreen, bathing suit, sunglasses, a hat, sandals, shorts and t-shirts, camera, a good book and maybe your laptop. Bring casual clothing. For girls, shorts and summer dresses work great. For the cooler evenings and the months November- April, a sweater and pants are a good idea; even the nicer restaurants are always semi casual. Just pack for the perfect summer day. 20. What about pets? We are pet friendly, but charge a pet fee of $450 pesos. We do not allow excessive barking. Well behaved dogs and cats only. If they disrupt other guests' stay, you will be asked to leave the premises. It there is pet damage, we will assess the damage and ask for that to monetarily be fixed or replaced. 21. Electricity ? The power company now delivers our electric power. But, not not un like other remote areas in Baja, we can experience short interruptions during stormy weather and when the electrical usage in Cerritos is higher than normal.
