We knew the property was beautiful from the pictures, but we had no idea how truly amazing it would be until we pulled up, the doors were all open, and we could look out to paradise! Everything was perfect: the food, the fishing, the warm pool, and relaxing hot tub. Mino, Francesca, and Maria were wonderfully attentive and friendly. We kayaked through the manta rays, drove ATV's through the mountains, paddle boarded, played ping pong, and so much more. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!! Thank you.
The place is on a beach with almost no other people around. Perfect for a getaway with family or friends. Would definitely return.
Great stay, great place, will be back. Thank you!
Perfect setting for a family vacation. The pool and beach were perfect for the kids. The cooks and caretakers for the house were excellent as well.
We spent a few days here (for the 2nd time!) in January and had an absolutely wonderful, relaxing time. Casa Cardonal is perfectly arranged for a family to spend as much or as little time together as they want. Everything you could want is included so all you have to think about is relaxing. Mino & Maria Louisa are fantastic around the property and always there for anything you need. Getting there is not for the faint of heart, but that's kind of the point. Do yourself a favor and make the trek out to this little piece of paradise and leave the world behind for a week. It's good for the soul :)
Our family (11 of us ranging in age from 86 to 8 years old) just spent a lovely relaxing week at this beautiful house. The house is just as pictured and was comfortable for all of us. The heated pool and jacuzzi were wonderful and have such a gorgeous view. Although the week was a little windier and chillier than I expected we did have a few days where the sea was calm enough to use the paddle boards. We went out in the boat fishing one day with Mino and caught three huge dorado which Francesca cooked us for dinner. Another day Mino took 7 of us on the boat to Isla Cerralvo and we saw a gray whale, orca, seals and went snorkeling at the beautiful beach on the island which was great. My teen was thankful for the satellite dish at the house so he could watch football games on Sunday. We all loved having the ping pong table and shuffleboard too. We had Francesca cook every night except one when we went to the restaurant up the road at the Las Terrazas hotel. The house is definitely a remote destination. The little town of Cardonal is tiny- just two convenience stores - and it’s a half an hour into the nearby beach town of Los Barilles , but that’s part of the appeal of this place. You have the beach virtually to yourself and we loved getting up and doing early morning beach walks. We did use the Yukon to go to a nearby beach - Punta Pescadero- where the water is calmer even on windy days as it’s a little more protected. Mike, the owner, was super responsive to all the many questions I had leading up to the trip. My only regret - I wish I’d booked horseback riding before we arrived . We were there a holiday week and by the time we got there and tried to arrange it, it was all booked up. Overall Great house. I would totally return to this place. Beautiful, quite, comfortable and excellent service and amenities.
We came back to Casa Cardonal for the second time, but we brought 4 other couples with us. Everyone was amazed at the property, people and food. We had a great time. Mino took us fishing 3 days. We caught El Dorado - enough for 2 meals and a 220 striped Marlin!! Already trying to figure out how to get back there again. We love it. Thanks to all the staff - Maria, Francesca, Octavio and Mino. And thanks to Wolf Properties - great job!
Casa Cardonal is a beautiful beach house located in a tiny little town. There was 14 of us who celebrated my dad's 75th birthday. It was perfect. Maria and Francesca cooked delicious meals. Minow was always there to help when we needed anything. Yamelita came every morning and made sure we had clean towels and linen. Many of us paddle boarded and kayaked for the 1st time in the beautiful Sea of Cortez. The kids had a wonderful time in the pool and spent many hours in it. We will definitely be back.
THIS PROPERTY IS UNBELIEVABLE! ANYONE CONSIDERING BOOKING HERE SHOULD DEFINITELY DO IT IMMEDIATELY!!!
This was our second stay at Casa Cardonal. We could not ask for anything more! Mike is outstanding to work with, and the staff are warm and kind. We give this home our highest recommendation.
