Old-West themed Casita. Be it in Mexico or USA, there is always room to reminisce about the past. This lovely Casita has a Western feel with its western art and wrought iron lamps. It's a quiet place in the Mexican desert near the Sea of Cortez and just a few miles from downtown San Felipe and the pleasantries on the Malecon.

Casa de Katalina has been acquiring a lovely reputation from fabulous visitors all over Mexico from Canada to Chicago to Turkey! We are quickly becoming a popular destination especially during the Baja Races, Carnaval, Santa Semana, Spring and yes, even the Summer months! If you like it hot, we got it hot. Local events during the summer months are tons of fun and not as crowded as during the winter.

Minimum stay is 2 nights, maximum stay 5 nights unless discussed directly with Owner. Once minimum stay is booked, the Owner emails you directly to discuss any changes (rates), pet care, etc. before accepting your booking. Watch for SPECIALS every month all year round. It's a fun, quiet, clean place to stay.

ALSO: RETURNING VISITORS and folks recommended by locals that know me, and/or if "you" have personally met Katalina you can CALL KATALINA DIRECTLY and get an additional DISCOUNT. Book directly with the Owner so you can save your money for Saturday Market wares and vendors on the Malecon!

COME AND ENJOY THE BEACH AND THE MALECON!
Enjoy the Mountains as snow starts to fall on the Sierra San Pedro Martir Mountains, so beautiful in the winter months. Our Casita is really cozy too! The roof top patio of the Casita is a great place to view the stars at night as is the front courtyard by the fountain. It's as quiet as can be out here on Paseo del Sol. We have a cozy warm mini-split and comforters for the bed. You'll stay warm here, we promise!

Casa de Katalina is separate from the Casa Grande (the main home) where Owner Katalina lives all year round. Entrance to your abode is private. Owner always respects your privacy.

Pool and gate passes are provided with your booking and are required for entry on to El Dorado Ranch, a gated community. Because of recent HOA changes we cannot accept Saturday arrivals after 11 a.m. Rules require owners and vacationers to come to the office in person for pass registration. Saturdays are short office hours so must arrive no later than 11am please. Plan your arrival accordingly.

Golf fees are not included but the golf course is available to guests along with golf cart rental and dining at the Pavillion.

We offer an escape from your busy world to a surrounding of peace and quiet for a unique Mexico desert stay. We have recently added Wi-Fi and NetFlex.

This Casita is cozy, fits 2 adults. You won't want to leave and you will probably want to come back! Please note: Casita does not sleep 3. There is an error in the listing, only 2 people can be accommodated on one reservation.

The property is smoke free. NO FUMAR. and if this rule is not respected, you will be asked to leave.

The owner does speak Spanish and graciously invites Spanish speaking individuals from other designations in Mexico or USA or anywhere in the world.

PLEASE NOTE. For some reason vrbo does not show the accurate location. Casa de Katalina is 12 miles North of the Malecon. Owner would like to emphasize, if you are looking for a party house or a place on the beach, this is not it. We are located in the desert, a mile west of I-5 from the first guard station, Paseo del Sol, 12 miles to the Malecon and 2 miles to EDR's private beach. It's quiet here and that's what people have love about it here. If you want to party, then please feel free to rent a Motel in town.

Gracias y Bienvenido Amigos a San Felipe y El Dorado Ranch en Paseo del Sol, Casa de Katalina. Disfruta de tus vacaciones en Casa de Katalina!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed at Casa Katalina! Katalina is such a great host and welcoming. Katrina (her dog) is also a great host and welcoming. The space is better than what the photos show and had everything you need if you enjoy cooking “at home”. Katalina gave us great suggestions for local activities and places to visit. This rental space is very secure, relaxing, quiet with great views! We will definitely be back again! Thank you for everything Katalina & see you soon! <3 Irene & Abraham

Terrrific Lodging, Terrific Host
Upon my arrival, the host had waiting for me the rented room completely impeccably clean, with a complete kitchen and comfortable bed. The host also shared with me details about the local area such as good restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this lodging if you want to remove yourself from daily pressure. The property is not located right on the beach, instead it is located perhaps 3 kilometers/1.5 miles from the ocean. Still, it is only 15 minutes from downtown San Felipe, is clean, safe, and has a wonderful host. Book it. You will not be disappointed.
