AWESOME!

Our stay was fantastic, the Casita was clean. The beds and couches were extremely comfortable. The pool was very nice with sitting areas adjacent, with an excellent view of the Sea of Cortes! I would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular experience

Jim’s cottage was exactly as advertised and then some. There are so many extras that elevated our stay; from little things like coffee and creamer to shampoo and conditioner to having everything clearly explained and even labelled to eliminate any possible confusion. Jim and his wonderful fur baby Jackson are excellent hosts with answers and recommendations any time we asked. He also supplied us with beach gear and went out of his way to make us feel more than welcomed to Los Barriles. All this said, we did not feel uncomfortable at any time having the host on site. There was another couple in residence in the other cottage and we never felt like our privacy was being invaded. I would return again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Donnelly

I caught the travel bug from my dad when I was in 7th grade. He always liked to connect with locals on our trips because he knew it was the best way to experience a new place.

Whether it was a friend of a friend or some random local we met, dad would offer to take them to dinner to learn more about their life and the place they lived. On some of these occasions, our new friends would even insist that we check out of our hotel and stay with them. By the end of the trip, we had new friends, great memories and a better understanding of the local culture than any guided tour could provide.

I like that VRBO has that same ability to connect people from different parts of the world.

Why they chose this property

The property is a perfect location: quick walk to beach & main street, but quiet and breezy with excellent views of the Sea of Cortez and surrounding mountains. Car is not necessary.

What makes this property unique

In addition to all the other amenities, the property has a robust backup generator system that keeps power, AC and internet fully functional in case of any power outages, which are not uncommon in Los Barriles.
