Awesome stay! The mountain and ocean views were great, pool/patio area and plants very nice, and direct beach access great. Super nice to be able to go for a beach walk or paddleboard or kayak right from the place and then jump in the pool. Bedrooms and kitchen very nice and beds super comfy.
What a beautiful place to start the new year. Great house with super modern accommodations. Very peaceful and quiet during our stay. Lots to appreciate.
Casa Bell is a beautiful oceanfront home with a very well appointed guest casita. Viewing the sunrise over the sea from your bedroom suite, a swimming pool, stepping right onto the beach, and a courtyard Ramada with fireplace all make this home uniquely special. Gretchen’s guest casita is everything as listed - & more.
Very quiet, serene with views in all directions. So easy to go for walks on the beach in either direction. The pool is great for cooling off. The casita has oodles if outdoor spaces to hang out and is a perfect
We had a wonderful time in Loreto and at Casa Belle. It was extremely comfortable and just what we were looking for. We had not planned on renting a car but decided to do so once we were there. There were things we wanted to do and see that required this.
Casa Bell is a great place to stay and the hosts are fantastic. Very responsive to all inquiries and questions. We really enjoy our daily walks on the beach into town for meals and various excursions into the surrounding vicinity- especially to see the blues whales!
The property is even more beautiful in person! One of the nicest rentals we have stayed in! Loved having the kayaks and paddleboards. Walked to town along the beach every morning. The location is just far enough from the city center to be quiet and peaceful. Beds are very comfortable and having multiple choices of pillows was amazing. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. There is construction next door but they weren't working on it during our 2 week stay. Would definitely recommend a car to get around town. Highly recommend!
It’s kind of difficult to summarize how special this property is. The lodging itself is perfect, everything including beds is super comfortable and the views plus access to the miles of beach were really special. We had some very windy days but managed to use the paddle boards twice (loved it!) and were very able to take a panga boat across the Isle Coronado and saw lot and lots of dolphins. Lunch was stops at one of the many taco spots followed by cooking dinner in the well stocked kitchen. If you get inspired by the local cuisine - the grocery store, seafood stores and the tortilleria will have what you are looking for. We hope to return to this spot again.
Have spent quite a bit of time exploring Baja but first trip to Loreto & did not disappoint. Town is quaint & exactly what we were looking for- a getaway from the hustle & bustle of life & big commercialization.
Casa Bell is the perfect place to stay in Loreto. Peaceful location about 20minutes walk down the beach into town - just close enough!
The casita is beautiful & has EVERYTHING needed. Beach, pool, paddleboards, kayaks. Beautiful sunrises & spectacular sunsets. The ocean was like a lake with island views & mountain ranges in the background. The weather & water temperature was perfectly warm!
Great fishing w Fly Fish Loreto & diving w Blue Nation. Would definitely recommend both businesses.
Thanks to Gretchen for being so responsive & accommodating. We will definitely be back to Loreto & Casa Bell again!
While staying at Gretchen and Rick's casita at Casa Bell, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing visit in Loreto. The pictures included in this listing are true. There are 2 very comfy beds and fluffy towels in their spotless casita. A well stocked kitchen with every amenity you could need to cook a meal. Loads of storage in beautiful wood cabinets in the bedrooms. Plenty of bottled water is provided for drinking and cooking, which was fabulous as I need my coffee first thing!! They have a *gorgeous* landscaped courtyard and pool with loungers that was well lit at night that made us feel secure. We were there in February and the pool wasn't warm enough for us to use, dang it!For the most part it was quiet but this is a growing neighborhood so there was construction in the area. Gretchen has listed their property as walking distance to town. For some people that may be but we're in our 70's and we're glad we rented a car. Also, you should be aware there are 24 stairs up to the casita from the courtyard. Your luggage may get heavy ;D.
Gretchen was a warm and welcoming host! The casita was clean, nicely decorated, with conveniences like beach towels, snorkeling equipment and paddle boards. Beach is a little rocky and water pressure is lower but to be expected in Mexico. Convenient to get to all tours and downtown. Actual final cost is about 35% higher than per night booking rate from additional guests and cleaning fees. Sea of Cortez is beautiful and Loreto is a great laid back relaxing town
We loved staying at this property! It was perfect distance to town and a very quiet and safe neighborhood. The courtyard and the house were beautiful and well kept. The check in process was very easy and communication with the owner was quick and clear. The views are incredible! We would definitely stay here again.
We had a relaxing vacation at Casa Bell. The house is very nice, comfortable beds, nice linens and towels.
The sunrises and sunsets were amazing everyday. We enjoyed Loreto and Casa Bell .
The property was fantastic. I appreciate owners that invest in a good bed, I didn’t miss my bed once and that NEVER happens on vacation. The walk to town was easy, the fishing was fantastic, this place was a wonderful oasis to return to every day.
We loved Casa Bell.
Our stay was wonderful.
The views of the Sea of Cortez and the mountains were spectacular. Sunrise and moonrise over the sea were beautiful. We enjoyed all the outdoor sitting options. Kayaks and paddle boards were fun. Loved being able to open all the windows to let the sea breezes in. Beds were very comfortable.
Gracias
The property and location were amazing! We had a great time. Only negative I can say is the WiFi is non existent and the cell service is so so. So needless to say I did not get much work done, but the tequila flowed just fine.
Assess to town was walkable, and staying in was nice too. With a sheltered courtyard and pool. Beds were comfortable and of high quality. All the extra touches that made this feel like a home away from home are here. We will most definitely be back. It was a great place for a chill vacation!
