You will love it from the moment to step through the gate into the beautiful courtyard. The bedrooms are very large and comfortable and the house has so many different areas to sit in, I had to try them all. We could hear the waves from every room and the outside seating areas were very comfortable, quiet and relaxing. The very private third bedroom (Dolphin Room) was perfect for our newly-engaged couple. Great location for wonderful restaurants nearby and for visiting the wine country. We hated to leave and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Mary. ##### Kenneth N.

Upon entry, the garden is peaceful and inviting. The house is tastefully decorated and comfortable. The whale watch perch is the place to be for cocktails or cervezas at sunset, and the sound of the ocean is relaxing, whether outside the house or inside. The host is attentive, and stays in touch from the time of booking thru the end of your stay. We will absolutely be coming back. Can't wait!! ##### Thomas S.

Mary the host was incredibly helpful and generously permitted my two well behaved german shepherd dogs. The entire family enjoyed relaxing in the backyard, collecting shells along the beach during low tide, cooking a family dinner, and setting a fire during a cooler evening while watching a movie. Excellent seafood restaurant 5 minutes away called Splash. Guard gated community with very active security patrols both day a night.Truly a wonderful break.This was our first VRBO experience and will not be our last. Thank you Mary for the opportunity for my family to enjoy a piece of your heaven. ##### Emily F.

Safe, secure and beautiful. Was able to still keep up with work through the free wifi while being totally disconnected from it all. House is aweome. Open floor plan with 3 seperate bedrooms and baths. Easy to travel to Rosarito and Ensenada for day excursions. Highly recommend visiting wine country in the Valle de Guadalupe as well. Amazing wine and maybe the best meal we've ever had at Tierra de Corazon. Absolutely loved our trip and the villa was at the heart of it all. We hope to be back soon! Thanks Mary! ##### Grant M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alfred R. 14 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous Getaway Very comforting to know that its in a gated community. The guards were very kind & welcoming. And once inside the community it was awesome to see all the beautiful homes(and those being worked on). So needless to say, it was LOVE at first sight when we laid our eyes upon this home! The decor inside & out was Perfect!! Reminded me of my Grandparents home in Mexico. Very comforting. I love that each room had its own bathroom! The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Although, we couldn't find a cookie sheet so we bought one for the next guests to use. And the view from the home is Beautiful! We loved sitting outside just looing out to tje water watching the dolphins swim by. And it literally felt like we had the beach to ourselves considering that nobody else but us were out there fishing. Could also be since it was way colder than we expected. BUT it didnt stop us from getting out there & catching fish. Looking forward to going back & staying longer next time. We felt like we were at home. ##### Alfred R.

It took us a few hours to realize it was coming from the dishwasher. Mary, our host, was very quick to send someone over and clean it out, and while we were never able to use the dishwasher, Mary was very apologetic and accommodating. Still, two people in our party developed reactive airways that would bother them for the entire 4 days we were there. The non-master beds were not queens, they were full-size. But they were comfortable. The master has good views, but note that it does not have any privacy, since it has open (curtained) archways to the home's interior common areas and kitchen. That makes for tough sleeping. All in all, the host was kind and flexible with checkout, the home sub-par, and the ocean-front views the real highlight that brightened our spirits. Couple other notes: few decent restaurants a short drive (not walkable) 5 min south. Beach is cobblestone except at fully drained tide. The surf break looks like it would be fun and private on a W or S swell, but unfortunately was flat while we were there. ##### Ashwin S.

Our family...6 adults, 8 children ages 4 to 13, & 2 dogs...just spent an awesome week at Sandcastle in Cantamar. The location was perfect for us. A bit south of Rosarito it is out of the hustle & bustle of the tourists but close enough if we wanted to 'go to town'. In a gated community we never once felt unsafe. It was quiet, secure and just plain relaxing. The house and grounds were perfect. Enough space for everybody to hang out, run around, lay back, be together or far apart. The house has generous sized rooms and beautiful views. The steps down to the beach are easy....not like some of the places we have stayed. We will certainly stay here again. Mary & Gary are welcoming hosts and very helpful if you have questions....or even if you don't. We have been to Baja enough that we don't do much of the "tourist" stuff anymore but the "tourist" stuff is close and accessible. The beach is the big draw for all the grandkids. The boggie boarding is great right in front of the house.....and they loved the hot tub! We had Mimi (recommended by the Winnings) come and fix us some meals while we were there. Excellent food. She buys, cooks, serves & cleans up for a very reasonable price. One dinner for 14 cost $70.00...wonderful fresh Talapia fish, with cheese quesadillas, home made re-fried beans, fresh salsa, fresh quacamole & rice....and she leaves any leftovers for snacking! We would not hesitate to recommend Sandcastle and the Winnings to anybody looking for a gorgeous time-out spot. ##### Marsha N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Orlando B.
