Avis Villa Mirasol Fabulous Luxury Beach Villa on the Sea of Cortez

We had a wonderful time at Villa Mirasol! From the fresh pico when we arrived to the sourdough break we baked and the fish we grilled, it was exactly what we were hoping for! Quiet, secluded yet plenty to do! Kayaking, snorkeling or swimming in the beautiful pool! Each couple has their own space yet lots of places to go to be alone, with a small group or a whole group, the layout was perfect! Sergio was always available, Jesus even did a late night A/c check, and the ladies kept the rooms clean and fresh plus helped out with some laundry! Absolutely beautiful all thre way around!

This is a magical place as we felt all our stresses leave immediately as we walked into the house. All ages (18 mos- 70 yrs ) enjoyed the pool, beach, and amenities Most of all we loved the chef services and the wonderful staff.

Just wonderful! The layout, furnishings, atmosphere…..superb on every level.

We absolutely had a wonderful & relaxing time together Villa Mirasol ~ it was BETTER than the photos with breathtaking views ~ the bay was perfect for paddleboarding & kayaking and we loved the privacy ~ Sergio & staff were fantastic & we definitely recommend the chef - YUM!! Karen was super fast to reply to our questions. We HIGHLY recommend Villa Mirasol

We have just returned from an amazing week at Villa Mirasol. Although temperatures were a little on the cool side while we were there, the combination of family time, the bright Mexican sun, amazing sand, beautiful setting and warm hospitality made our stay spectacular. Dealing with Karen, the owner, was great, and she was helpful in giving ideas of what to do when we get there. Sergio, the property manager was very helpful in getting us setup, helping to arrange activities (more on that later), and getting minor issues dealt with quickly. Villa Mirasol is a lovely grand home with plenty of space for our two families of 4 and could easily have handled the originally planned two more who had to cancel - or even more. The bedrooms are beautifully setup and feel like you are in a luxury resort/hotel. The beds were comfortable, sheets, bed covers and towels of high quality. The rooms were extremely clean and tidy when we arrived and maintained that way, daily, by Mirasol’s staff. This might seem intrusive to a private vacation but they really were very discrete. The common living space is very large and well setup, but a bit dated and in need of a lot of minor repairs - I emailed with the owner and she explained that the recent hurricane in Sept had done major damage outside so the extensive repairs on the exterior have been the focus - fair enough. We love cooking though, and although the appliances are high-end, and the dishes and cooking-ware of great quality, everything was a bit worse for wear. The dishwasher didn’t work, one element on the stove was intermittent, things like that. Not a huge deal, but not in keeping with the rest of the place. As we love to cook, we only had them cook one meal for us, and it was nice not to have to cook... it was tasty. Location-wise, we were a bit nervous of Mirasol being in the middle of nowhere, but it was actually fine, and made it all the more special to have the beach (almost) to ourselves, with enough to keep busy, but most of all to relax away from everything. As avid riders, Sergio arranged for horses to appear on the beach and we rode along the shore and through the dunes - amazing. We did go on a snorkeling boat trip from nearby La Ventana, and although it was lovely to be out on the water, we actually found the snorkeling 100ft down the beach from the villa to be just as good, and it was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks Villa Mirasol!

This location will exceed all expectations and the house and staff are phenomenal. We had a full crew of small kids, 3 couples and a teenager - everybody loved it. Total success.

We had a glorious stay at the Villa Mirasol. It's a huge house, much bigger than it appears in the photos. 5 big bedroom suites and a very comfy living room area. The views from the property are incredible, it overlooks a beautiful, empty beach which has good snorkeling on the right hand side. Lots of things for the kids to do, there's a ping pong table and a restaurant next door that has shuffle board and pool tables. The staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly, the house keeper's wife and sister made us very high quality, delicious breakfasts and dinners. The swimming pool and hot tub were also fantastic. We loved the set up for having a fire on the sand, and sat outside one night and watched the incredible stars. Tons of thoughtful little touches, they've really thought of everything! The only downside were the mosquitoes, but we kept all the doors shut which helped and they provide lots of bug spray. All in all, a fantastic place to rent, we will definitely return!

The photos do not do this place justice. The property is just over-the-top beautiful. It is secluded. The view from the patio, over the pool, down the beach, to the ocean, is breathtaking. And you have it all to yourself! Actually, there is a wonderful bar next door, but we didn't even notice it and didn't know it existed until 3 days in to our trip! And that was only because one of my friends wandered off to explore. The villa was very comfortable - each room has it's own entrance, bathroom, and air-conditioning. It was so hot during the week of our stay, but we spent everyday alternating between the pool and the ocean. We couldn't have asked for better house staff. We were not expecting the service they provided. YOU WANT THEM TO PREPARE MEALS FOR YOU. This is not a place to pinch pennies. The house is kind of far away from everything. If we hadn't opted for the meals, we (16 adults) would likely have been eating chips for 5 days. The meals were DELICIOUS - homemade Mexican food doesn't get any better. They even made us lobster one night. And made dessert every night. Sergio, the house manager, was the perfect balance of being present but out of the way. He was always there when we had questions or needed anything (like more beer - he drove out to the store for us!), but never imposed. He made sure to check in with us daily to ask about our plans for the following day. He communicated with Palapas Ventana, the sea adventures company, for us. Palapas Ventana came and picked us up at our beach to take us snorkeling for a day! Sergio also helped a few of us set up horseback riding. He asked if we'd be interested. We said yes! On the chosen day and time, 3 men showed up to our beach with 3 horses! As indicated in my subject line, MIND BLOWN. One hang up about the villa were the directions getting there. Google maps doesn't quite know where the property is, though it gets you most of the way there. Once you get beyond entrance of the community, you're driving down a sandy, windy road that has lots of unmarked forks. Maybe both sides take you to the same place and it doesn't matter? The other minor thing - for some reason, use the kayaks was free, but use of the paddleboards was pretty darn expensive. It's a silly detail, but strange. Just can't imagine why this would be. 99.9% AMAZING. We have all promised to go back, hopefully on an annual basis, for our Villa Mirasol Reunion.
