Beautiful Apartment!

My brother sister and I stayed here for a getaway weekend in Fort Collins, and this place was so lovely! It's a short walking distance from Old Town, and in a super quiet nice neighborhood. Would stay there again :)

The perfect get away!

It was the perfect place for us over Christmas! In fact it was even more beautiful than the photos could possibly depict. Whether it’s just reading and relaxing, or surfing and working out, this is a great place for it all. Thanks to our hosts and their team for making it all so easy for us.

Wonderful stay!

We loved everything about our stay. The home was so cozy and comfortable. The beds were especially comfy! We loved the house itself…all the stonework, windows, and outdoor areas. We fished a lot, took long walks on the beach, cooked all our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and hung out by the fire. Best part of all, we got to reconnect as a family and enjoy each other outside our busy lives. We did bring our lab who absolutely loves the water. I know he had the best weekend too! Thank you, Casita Barranca. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing View of the ocean

Love this location. Not many people on the beach. The view is priceless and the accommodations were great. Communication was very timely and helpful. Good surf spot out front when the swell is in the right direction.

Amazing view, dolphins, horses, dogs, blue sparkling water!

My love of the ocean was re ignited at Amelias home! In fact I came home with torn ligaments, due to way too much barefoot running on the beach.

Excellent House

This is a very excellent property and the owners are very good and enjoyable. We could not have asked for better. The property's amenities and location are really enjoyable--the beach, the sea, the escarpment with terraces, the home. There is a quiet place for everybody to escape to at once, and cozy front room and kitchen for gathering. The wood stove was very enjoyable. This property does not disappoint.

MOVING MEMORIES… MADE IN MEXICO

We were a group of five friends coming from New York City to say goodbye to one of our mothers who is in hospice in Rosarito. This beautiful and historic home on the beach met us with open arms and healed us everyday. After visits to our mother, we would return to the most beautiful sunsets over the ocean, long walks on the beach under the stars, and the comforts of the house: five-star beds, great kitchen, all steps to the sand. Michael and Amelia are wonderful. I highly recommend their gorgeous property.

What can I say about my second time down at Casita? I'm able to do a litle fishing while the Mrs. does a little shopping. We both love the wine tasting thats around and never get tired of the lobster! Looking forward to round 3! keep an eye on your lines! Fishman

Beautiful home

Worth every star. This is a beautiful home in a picturesque setting. The views were breathtaking and the house was very comfortable for my family. The kids loved playing on the beach and I think my favorite part was having fires at night in the fire pit. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. We cooked every night and found all the necessary utensils. Jose at the gate was helpful and was great about giving directions/suggestions. The best part of this house is definitely the view and location. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the only incredible bummer was that it took us 7 hours to cross the border back into the states with an absolute nightmare of bad to non existent signage and random road closures. The return home almost makes me never want to drive it again - but when the memories return to being at the Casita and our wonderful time there - I may reconsider. Again, 5 stars! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Whatever you are doing,waking up in the morning, taking a shower, cooking breakfast, reading or talking in the living room,you can watch the sea. We are sure, this is the result of the tremendous effort,Amelia and Michael Kienzl have undertaken, to rebuilt and reconstruct this house of the famous physist Feynman. His everything questioning book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman!" in the library has surely inspired the intelligent shaping of the rooms and many details of the interior design. We enjoyed the lonesome beach, the nights full of neverseen stars, the fish market in Ensenada, the twin lobster at famous La Fontana restaurant, where the Hollywood stars in the Prohibition period celebrated their fancy parties. The sound of the tide makes you calm and happy.We are very thankful for this experience. L.A. 2/5 2009 Inge + Eckhart

Best spot on the beach!!!

Pros: *literally 34 steps down to the beach. *Views of the ocean from every single room *Amazing neighbors and safe gated community *Lots and lots of patio seating to enjoy the daily dolphin watching as well as a hammock *Daily dolphin watching *Super quiet at night *Clean beach and safe swimming *Easy drive to dining (try Splash down the way; good food and service) *Spacious rooms and bedrooms *Walk In rain showers Cons: *Ants! Ants! And more Ants! Everywhere, on the beds, in the toaster, all over our bath towels. Eight days in and we were done with the ants. I get the heat and humidity brings them in but the house needs to be sprayed really badly to help with this. That is the only reason we couldn’t give it five stars. 😕 * The stairs weren’t a con for us because our kids are teenagers but be warned if you have very small kids or traveling with knee problems or elderly family; the steps are crazy steep, uneven and sharp. We Laid low on our trip so we never spoke with the owners but Amelia has been pleasant all through our booking and check out.

Casita Barranca provided such a magical space for my friend and our little boys’ spring break getaway. We loved cooking in the kitchen and looking down onto the beach being able to see our little guys play and run free. Such a sweet memory for all of us.

Quaint , rustic home with spectacular view

We were 2 couples visiting Baja and needed a place for home base to explore Wineries and restaurants. This rustic home is charming, has nice character and a rich history. It is situated high along a cliff wall overlooking the Pacific ocean. The best part of the house is the magnificent water views and beautiful sunsets from every part of the house! No AC but we didn't need it with the ocean breeze flowing in through windows. The expansive beach which we had almost to ourselves is accessible by a stone (and sometimes steep) staircase. Not recommended for young children , disabled or elderly that can't navigate stairs. House is well equipped, comfortable and wifi worked well. Btw, there isn't a dishwasher but we didn't mind doing our own for the few meals we had since we mostly ate out. The owners are lovely and gave great recommendations to restaurants and info for wineries. The house is safely tucked in a gated community of playa la mission and felt very safe and well located to explore Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada and Rosarito!! Just a note , the house does not have a washer/dryer so longer stays might be more challenging.
