Before you book

How far is the house from Cerritos Beach?

Casa Cumpleaños is only yards from the ocean, with direct access to the beach in one to two minutes. The lively Cerritos area, including beach restaurants and surf schools, is a 20-minute walk. Cerritos is one of the few swimmable beaches on Baja's Pacific side, and the quieter stretch directly in front also has a lesser-known surf break. Conditions still vary because this is open Pacific.

Where can we eat and buy groceries nearby?

Cerritos Beach Inn is the closest mapped place for a meal, about 300 feet from the house. It lists The Sunset restaurant and bar, but guests should call ahead because day-visitor seating and service hours are not posted. The main Cerritos restaurant area is a 20-minute walk by the local beach route. Mercado del Sol 3 is the grocery stop on the Cerritos access road; its map pin is 1.7 miles away in a straight line, while Frutería Hnos. Salgado is farther north in El Pescadero.

How far are the airports and downtown Todos Santos?

Current Google Maps road routes are about 59 miles to Los Cabos International (SJD), 75 miles to La Paz International (LAP), and 21 miles to the central plaza in Todos Santos. Travel times change with traffic, road work and the local access roads, so use a fresh route on arrival day.

How many people can stay?

Eight guests across four bedrooms. One king and three queens, and every bedroom has its own entrance and its own bathroom. That layout is unusual here and it is the main reason two families or four couples travel well in this house.

What does a stay actually cost, all in?

Rates move with season, length of stay and demand. Send your dates for one complete quote that includes accommodation, cleaning and local tax. That written total is the binding price.

Is there a minimum stay?

Three nights. Longer stays are welcome, with a washer and dryer, a full kitchen and WiFi. Guests who need a particular connection speed for work should ask for a current test before booking.

Can we bring a dog?

Yes. Pets are welcome. Tell us about your animal when you enquire so the house is ready for it.

Is it safe to drive from the airport?

Most guests fly into Los Cabos International (SJD), rent a car and drive north on Highway 19. The current mapped route is about 59 miles. Two things worth knowing before you go: cattle range freely and are the most common cause of serious accidents here, and for that reason locals avoid driving Highway 19 after dark. Arrive in daylight if you can. A car is genuinely useful once you are here, because the corridor is spread out.

Can we have a party?

No. The rooftop and deck are made for dinner and sunset drinks, not events. Tell us in advance if anyone beyond the registered guests will visit.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation within 48 hours of booking, provided the booking was made at least one week before the stay begins.
