Nice place to stay. Had some minor issues because of a heavy rain storm, but the property manager promptly resolved the issue.

Amazing home and location . Beach was great for the kids ,

The pictures don’t do justice to the place, it was a great location and a great place. We will definitely be visiting again and would recommend this place to friends and family

The beach location is almost private. Very peaceful and nice for families or even a quick getaway. Would definitely stay again!

This is our second time staying here and all I have to say is...it won’t be the last time. Thank you Abraham for continuing to share your little piece of heaven for families to enjoy.

Great home! Kids, grandparents and us siblings loved the property and Beach access. Hopefully will return soon.

Staying at Casa Marbella was great, we have stayed at this property before and it never disappoints. House has everything that you need to have a wonderful time. Abraham and Jose were very quick to address any concerns.

Had a great time here! Lots of activities to do on the beach. We rented an ATV for a couple hours and had a blast! Not crowded at all. The property is very nice clean and comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice. The weekend went to quick and we Didnt want to leave! Would definatley come back and hopefully stay longer! Thank you Abraham!

First I want to reassure the mom's out there. This is a safe place to take their kiddos. My husband & I took out 3 girls (16,14, 12) to Ensenada from San Diego. I was nervous about crossing the border with a rental car and our family. At the border we were just waved in. I am not sure why they did not check and documentation (we have Nexus cards so maybe we were automatically scanned in) but we did not even stop our car. Our Garmin directed us through the city but we chose to follow the hwy signs for the scenic route Hwy 1. I am glad we did. We actually saw a whale along the route. We stopped for lunch in Puerto Nuevo at the #1 Puerto Nuevo Restaurant. The food was fine. At ALL places we stopped, we could use USD. The exchange rate by each vendor was 20 Peso/1 USD. The vendors that exchanged were only giving 19 Peso/1 USD. Other activities: La Bufadora: get there at high tide in the morning if possible-we had the whole place to ourselves at 9 am. Drive all the way down to where they finally do not let car proceed further. The parking lot is on your left $3 USD. The vendors were friendly and 2 of my girl's loved bartering, the last one always felt bad "ripping them off" :) In Ensenada we ate at a Brazilian Grill , Mr. Pampas for $15 USD/ person + drinks (order bottled water everywhere). Horseback Riding: Just before the turn off to get to this VRBO you will see horses and men. We bartered $15/person/hour for the 5 of us to ride in the mountains (regular rate $20 mountains/$15 beach). One decent was steep and my 12 year old fell off her horse. She was okay but I would caution you to know your children's skill level: the beach ride would be very safe. The horses are trained but they do need coaxing. Now to the VRBO: Beautiful, safe, clean and quiet. We traveled in Jan/Feb. Abraham saved us as our other VRBO fell through. He was amazing and kept in contact as needed. 1 King room, 2 Twin bed room and a full futon (in living room). He also has a separate house for additional people. Parking: inside a gate you lock. 12 cup Drip Coffee Maker: may need filters, we had 4. Bring coffee just in case-there was some left here. Stop at Walmart (2 in Ensenada) for all groceries, spices and condiments as you will want to just stay put and relax. We enjoyed eating out but it was great eating in a couple of nights to just BE. Due to all the homes here being single family dwellings, very few people. Great place to unwind. Thank you Abraham!

Great for a quiet relaxing stay. 30 minute ride to Ensenada restaurants and shopping.

Just as advertised, private beach very few people out. The house was perfect , everything you need is there. I don't want to say much more would like to keep this a secret. I'll be back for sure!!!

This house is on a safe and quiet strip outside of Ensenada. If you are looking for a place for your family that is away from typical crowded spots this is it. Most of the week we spent there we had the beach nearly to ourselves with just a handful of people around. The waves when we were there weren't huge but good for families wanting something mellower for younger children. When we were here in August there was no dangerous rip current or anything like that. Down the beach about a mile is a public beach entrance which made it more crowded on the weekend but most of the people stayed closer to the public access area. The people who came to the beach on the weekend were nearly all Mexican families. No college kids partying when we were here. You can ride horses on the beach nearly all day for $10. A guy with an ultralight offers rides for about $45. A boat offers rides on tubes. You can go snorkeling with Dale's Dive shop nearby. You can also find fishing excursions close by. There are great mom and pop stores close by or you can drive about 15 minutes back towards Ensenada for a bigger grocery store. The owner and manager of the house were great with communication. Very safe and never felt worried about my family. A big gate to the property locks. Quite a few retired Americans in the area. The house is very nice and clean inside. Two families can stay when you also rent separate quarters behind the main house. We had a change plans and ended up having more people stay with us and the owner was very flexible about that when we communicated with him. Great place! Would stay again.

Loved the house!! Will come again!

The house is right on the beach and had everything we needed we definitely plan on staying there again

Loved the house!! Will come again!

Highly recommend this rental. The communication with the owner was quick and easy. Also a very nice local manager, José, was very kind and at the ready for any needs. The house and beds are comfortable. An easy kitchen to cook in. The deck is well appointed to while away the hours watching the beautiful coastline. Not many people in the beach. A truly semi-private beach.

We loved the location, all the amenities were good. The house manager checked in to be sure all was well. We would definitely recommend this house!

Thank you Abraham for letting us enjoy your place.

We enjoyed this house very much. I agree that the pictures online doesn't do it justice. This is as close to a private beach as you are going to get. No selling merchants on the beach, not even one (which is nice), the kids were running on the sand for miles and miles (walky-talky is greatly helpful btw) The House was very nice and clean (8.8 out of 10 for cleanness), we were 10 people (7 adults 3 kids) and it accommodated us very well. You can buy drinking water at the local store (walking distance ), along with all the basic necessities you need. We brought a ton of disposable plates and utensils so no one needs to do the dishes. We had hot water at all times (not a given in a beach house in Ensenada) and the area feels safe and fun. Few notes: The house is only around 110 miles from the San Diego border, so you may not believe the smartphone when it tells you it will take 3 hours... it will. Also, when we used google maps it took us in and out of the cities along the freeway (Highway 1), I suggest using apple maps or Waze, it will keep you on the freeway and shave 30min if not more. You don't need to bring anything with you. Pots, pans, silverware, they are all provided. same goes for towels bed sheets etc, all very clean. bring your own Shampoo. Once you get confirmation from Abraham (who was great btw), use the GPS coordinates to navigate to the house, DO NOT use the address, it will take you nowhere. The PDF you will receive also have coordinates for attractions, same here, use the coordinates NOT the address or the location name. Go see the Gaiser, its less than 10min drive from the house and there are many merchants at the location so you can eat well and do some MX shopping. Oh, and its free. Finding the house for the first time maybe tricky, so make sure you call Abraham when you get to the dirt road and he will explain the rest. Why 4 stars? Consider my 4 starts to be 4.8 . There is just one thing that can be improved. The house itself. Its has old(ish) furniture and beds are on the small size. To be clear, everything was VERY CLEAN, and comfy, I would simply like newer stuff. Will go again!

We stayed at Casa Marbella last weekend. The house was perfect for our family. The pictures don't do it justice. Plenty of space and all the amenities we needed. Owner was very nice and accommodating. The beach was our backyard. Easy access to and from main road and beach. The house was super clean and cute. Planning on returning soon. Highly recommend it.
