Private penthouse villa on the Sea of Cortez!

Casa Sarena is our beloved second home. It is truly a home and not a rental property. We share with family and friends, including home exchange friends. ❤️ The villa systems accommodate FOUR PEOPLE MAXIMUM. There are two beds, perfect for two couples or a small family. Sorry, our home is not suitable for small children as there are many high ledges. Mature young people are welcome.

Please see all available dates below. (Smoking and pets on the property are strictly prohibited. Allergy free home.). Our villa is not suitable for people with limited mobility or small children. We have stairs to each level and the possibility of falling from high areas for small children.

Beautiful water-view location. Walking distance to all amenities. Casa Sarena is a lovely penthouse villa in a traditional Mexican hacienda - 2 bedrooms (king master room, queen 2nd room), one bath with two covered terraces. Exchange includes private high speed internet wi-fi.   Our housekeeping style is very clean without clutter.

The Sea of Cortez offers fantastic whale watching, deep sea fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, SCUBA, sailing, SUP, amazing beaches, and more! Land-lovers will enjoy pickleball, tennis, golfing, cinema, theaters, culture, art, hiking, biking; the list is endless. We believe Baja California Sur offers the finest seafood in the world. You'll surely enjoy incredible cuisine in La Paz. Baja California has also made unprecedented advancements in the production of wine. Baja has won many awards for our fine wines and we expect to win more!

La Paz is home to one of Mexico's most prestigious marine biology universities, many excellent language schools, and offers year-around concerts, museums, live theater, and VIP cinemas. Eco-tours offer diving with sea lions on Los Isotes Island, wreck diving, snorkeling with whale sharks, kayaking with wild dolphins, sport fishing, and whale watching -- All in the warm and inviting Sea of Cortez!

Casa Sarena is our second home.  Non simultaneous exchanges are easiest to arrange. Simultaneous exchanges are possible to preferred locations.   Please see the availability schedule below.  ***All inquiries are welcome and encouraged.

Our household systems accommodate four people maximum. Sorry, no exceptions.
