About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Baja Retreat, Feynman Beach House, Playa La Mision Baja, California Norte

Casita Barranca has a rich history. Built by Nobel Peace Prize Physicist and widely read author Richard Feynman, it sits on the side of a low beach cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A private stairway, from two intimate ocean front patios, allows for immediate access to a sandy, solitary beach. Spacious ocean-facing windows throughout the property mean you will never miss a great break, or a sunset.

At Casita Barranca, you are only a few steps from one of the best beaches in Baja. Walk in the surf, sunbathe, dig for clams, fish, build sand castles, swim, surf or ride horses on the house's isolated and romantic beach. Guests are afforded an extraordinary view of the Pacific Ocean from this one of a kind house, hidden from view in a gated community. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets can be observed from the interior of the house, the patios or the beach.

Casita Barranca has been newly decorated and completely remodeled. Exquisite Mexican furniture and new appliances, including a Smart TV which can be used to sign into Netflix and your other media accounts, add to your comfort.

The three bedroom, two bath house sleeps six comfortably.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Wonderful stay!

We loved everything about our stay. The home was so cozy and comfortable. The beds were especially comfy! We loved the house itself…all the stonework, windows, and outdoor areas. We fished a lot, took long walks on the beach, cooked all our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and hung out by the fire. Best part of all, we got to reconnect as a family and enjoy each other outside our busy lives. We did bring our lab who absolutely loves the water. I know he had the best weekend too! Thank you, Casita Barranca. We can’t wait to come back!

Excellent House

This is a very excellent property and the owners are very good and enjoyable. We could not have asked for better. The property's amenities and location are really enjoyable--the beach, the sea, the escarpment with terraces, the home. There is a quiet place for everybody to escape to at once, and cozy front room and kitchen for gathering. The wood stove was very enjoyable. This property does not disappoint.

MOVING MEMORIES… MADE IN MEXICO

We were a group of five friends coming from New York City to say goodbye to one of our mothers who is in hospice in Rosarito. This beautiful and historic home on the beach met us with open arms and healed us everyday. After visits to our mother, we would return to the most beautiful sunsets over the ocean, long walks on the beach under the stars, and the comforts of the house: five-star beds, great kitchen, all steps to the sand. Michael and Amelia are wonderful. I highly recommend their gorgeous property.

Quaint , rustic home with spectacular view

We were 2 couples visiting Baja and needed a place for home base to explore Wineries and restaurants. This rustic home is charming, has nice character and a rich history. It is situated high along a cliff wall overlooking the Pacific ocean. The best part of the house is the magnificent water views and beautiful sunsets from every part of the house! No AC but we didn't need it with the ocean breeze flowing in through windows. The expansive beach which we had almost to ourselves is accessible by a stone (and sometimes steep) staircase. Not recommended for young children , disabled or elderly that can't navigate stairs. House is well equipped, comfortable and wifi worked well. Btw, there isn't a dishwasher but we didn't mind doing our own for the few meals we had since we mostly ate out. The owners are lovely and gave great recommendations to restaurants and info for wineries. The house is safely tucked in a gated community of playa la mission and felt very safe and well located to explore Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada and Rosarito!! Just a note , the house does not have a washer/dryer so longer stays might be more challenging.

Little Slice of Mexican Paradise

My family of four, including two teenage sons and two dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our six-night stay at Amelia and Michael's lovely beach cottage. I highly recommend it. The home is located in a guarded and gated community. We felt very safe. The trip over the border was easy and the hosts' directions made arriving and entering seamless. Everything was clean and functional. As others have mentioned, the beds were comfortable and beach towels were provided. We brought food for a week and prepared everything either in the kitchen or in the patio grill (we brought our own charcoal) without any problems. We were able to listen to music through speakers by hooking up our iPad. Access to Netflix was also a real plus. There are many outdoor "nooks" for relaxing: two patios, and a little terrace around the firepit. Of course, you don't have to go outdoors to enjoy the surf: you can see and hear the waves crashing from almost every spot in the cottage. The surf was good while we were there (intermediate levels)- bring wetsuits. We enjoyed many long strolls along the quiet shoreline: tidepools, ocean life (including tiny fish, sand dollars, a sea star, numerous diving pelicans and dolphin pods), and occasionally dogs frolicking in the sand and waves. We had some concerns about crossing the border, but Amelia was exceptionally accessible to answer all of my questions. While I felt we had tons of privacy and solitude, we really enjoyed running into Amelia and Michael and getting to know them one evening. They take pride in their home and are excellent hosts. I truly cannot wait to return one day!
