About this property
"I have traveled the world and this is the best beach I have ever seen"
Quiet, Peaceful, Luxury Home with fabulous ocean and mountian views, sunsets, sunrises, heated pool, 100 yards down a sandy path to the extremely quiet secluded beach, fishing, hiking, SUP, kayaks, whale watching, this place has it all! Located an easy 1 hour drive north of the Cabo airport. We are also 30 minutes from Cabo Pulmo National Park, a fabulous place for snorkeling and diving.
The beach in front of the house is literally miles of sand where we seldom see anyone else. Depending on the season you can see turtles laying their eggs, whales swimming by, fish jumping, or just enjoy walking the beach and collecting shells. We are located in one one of the worlds best fisheries on the Sea of Cortez, described as the "aquarium of the world" due to it having more species of fish than any other sea in the world.
We have 3 bedrooms in the main house, a kitchen, living room, and 3 different patio/balconies, including the pool deck (with shade or sun as you choose), and our amazing roof top deck and dining area. Sunset dining on the roof deck is an amazing experience to share with your family or friends.
The main home has a fully equipped kitchen, oven, stove, blender, microwave, freezer with ice maker, dishes, and all you need to cook, snack, or even have a local chef cook for you (which we can arrange).
The Casita is just a few steps away and has two large bedrooms and a very large living room with a fridge and small kitchenette. Plus a bathroom, shower. The Casita and main home are only rented together so you will always have your privacy. Casita also has two extra twin beds in the living room (making a 6th bedroom if needed). There are AC units in all the rooms.
In 2023 we repainted the home (some older pictures will show it as green), installed a new heated pool, new stone pool deck, outside stairs, turned the detached garage into a casita, and made many other improvements. The previous VRBO listing for this home was nothing but 5 star reviews. This truly is a great place to share a vacation with your family or friends.
We can arrange for a private chef for any or all meals, ATV rentals, guided snorkel or diving trips to Cabo Pulmo or other local attractions, or you can easily handle all these adventures on your own. We can give you recommendations for local adventures, snorkel or guiding trips, ATV trips, restaurants, fishing guides, or any other information you need. The local restaurants are great.
La Ribera is one of the safest locations in the world. The Four Seasons just finished its newest high end resort here for a reason-- amazing beaches, safe, convenient, and the locals are fabulous. I don't speak Spanish and I get around without any trouble. Shopping is easy, restaurants are easy.
Hacienda Garza Azul means House of the Blue Heron. Wherever we travel, it seems that Blue Herons are present. For us they represent peace, nature, relaxation, and sharing adventure and love with family and friends.

My family of 5 and another family of 4 spent 8 days at this wonderful La Ribera house and casita. The house and pool were amazing and we had everything that we needed cook, relax and hang out. The separate casita was perfect for additional sleeping space, especially for those in our group who liked to sleep in. The ocean was close, the pool was clean and the property manager and owner were responsive and happy to help with every need. I would highly recommend this location and look forward to a return trip!
My family of 11, including 4 children ages 9 months to 10 years, just spent 10 days at this property. The house has so much to recommend it, as well as a few issues that are hopefully being fixed. First, the positives! The location is incredible. Just a short walk to the beach in front or a short drive to the public beach in La Ribera. Cabo Pulmo or Los Barriles are also a reasonable drive away. La Ribera has several small markets and an ATM. It's a very quiet and beautiful area. The house itself is large and comfortable with multiple decks to enjoy. It is very well appointed with everything you could wish to use in the kitchen and a washer/dryer. In addition, there is a separate "casita" (really a large second living space) that was great for the little kids, who needed to nap during the day. There were boogie boards and SUPs provided for use.
Now for the detractions... there were a few things in the house that didn't work well during our stay. There was no warm water in the kitchen or the master shower. We were also told the grill didn't work. The downstairs shower didn't drain properly. Perhaps most importantly for our family, the Wifi didn't work in the casita - which was a problem for whoever had to stay in there for the babies' naps as some of us didn't have cell coverage. I was able to communicate these concerns to the owner, who assured us that they would be addressed. You may just want to check before renting if these would be issues for you.

Not what we hoped for
Casita is a garage that was converted and no one in our group wanted to be there. Property needs work and had several plumbing issues
We came down as a family with people ranging from age 5 to age 90. We all loved it. My 90 year old dad enjoyed navigating the roads and beaches. Our little 5 year old jumped in and out of the pool all day long with a big "kowabunga" yell or "bobbed up and down in the gentle ocean waves". The casita is newly built out and was very comfortable. The location is great, easy walk to the beach, very quiet and private, easy drive to town. We were surprised at the variety of restaurants in town, with Efrens being our favorite (on the high end). After staying at resorts for years, it was honestly really nice to just have our own place. We cooked every type of meat and tortilla meal we could think of for dinner. Loved frozen mango blended drinks. Highlight was evening drinks and appetizers watching the sunset, although my brother loved the sunrises (I was never up early enough!). Despite not being there during the official "whale season", we saw 3 different groups of whales swimming by and saw jumping manta rays several times, all while sitting on one of the many decks at the house. Bring binoculars if you are in to that type of thing.
