Casa de Katalina San Felipe MX

We re once again OPEN for your fall and winter get-aways to San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. Escape to the desert for relaxation and chill out at the Cachanilla Pool on El Dorado Ranch.

Come and rest, relax, it's sun time and a great time to come visit San Felipe. Spend a few special nights in desert surroundings at Casa de Katalina's Casita on El Dorado Ranch. Add fun dinners downtown San Felipe, buy goods from all our wonderful vendors, enjoy the Sea of Cortez, and stroll the Malecon. There are three wonderful bars near the Casita, less than 2 miles away, that offer food and cold drinks, Frankie's Beach Bar & Grill, the JollyMon and the San Felipe Brewery. Live music is offered in all three.

BOOK TODAY - for a fabulous getaway weekend retreat. Casa de Katalina is a great place for a couple or an individual to stay and get away from the hustle bustle of Mexicali, Ensenada, Yuma or San Diego or anywhere else for that matter!

Let us accommodate your stay to San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. Sunrises are incredible creeping up over the horizon of the Sea of Cortez. The magnificent sunsets to the west on the La Sierra San Pedro Martir Mountains are memorable. When it's time for a Full Moon you will be in for a treat as it comes up over the Sea. If you are here during the full moon EDR offers bocce on the beach to visitors (that would be you) with free hotdogs. It's a FUN event and a fantastic place to watch the moon rise in all its glory and meet folks from the EDR community. Make it a memorable experience!

Casa de Katalina has been acquiring a lovely reputation from wonderful guests from all over Mexico from Canada to Chicago to Turkey! And even guests from San Felipe! We are quickly becoming a popular destination especially during the Baja Races, Carnaval, Santa Semana, Spring and yes, even our Summer months! Local events during the summer months are tons of fun and not as crowded as during the winter.

Minimum stay is 2 nights, maximum stay 5 nights unless discussed directly with Owner. Once minimum stay is booked, the Owner emails you directly to discuss any changes (rates), pet care, etc. before accepting your booking. Watch for SPECIALS every month all year round. It's a fun, quiet, clean place to stay.

COME AND ENJOY THE BEACH, GOLF, SWIM AT THE POOL, PLAY CROQUET AND SHOP & EAT ON THE MALECON.

Casa de Katalina is separate from the Casa Grande (the main home) where Owner Katalina lives all year round. Entrance to your abode is private. Owner always respects your privacy and has her own agenda. You are on your own here! It's your private time to enjoy.

Pool and gate passes are provided with your booking and are required for entry on to El Dorado Ranch, a gated community. Because of recent HOA changes we cannot accept Saturday arrivals after 11 a.m. Rules require owners and vacationers to come to the office in person for pass registration. Saturdays are short office hours so must arrive no later than 11am please. Plan your arrival accordingly.

Golf fees are not included although golfing is available to guests. Casa de Katalina is two miles from the golf course where golf carts can be rented.

We offer an escape from your busy world to a surrounding of peace and quiet for a unique Mexico desert stay.

This Casita is cozy, fits 2 adults. It's a great place for a couple to get away and have close time together or a quiet space for an indiviual to rest up and relax. You won't want to leave and you will probably want to come back! Please note: Casita does not sleep 3. There is an error in the listing, only 2 people can be accommodated on one reservation. There is a 2 day minimum booking, and a 5 day maximum booking. Longer stays must be approved by the Owner.

The property is smoke free. NO FUMAR. and if this rule is not respected, you will be asked to leave.

The owner does speak Spanish and graciously invites Spanish speaking individuals from other designations in Mexico or USA or anywhere in the world.

PLEASE NOTE. For some reason vrbo does not show the accurate location. Casa de Katalina is 12 miles North of the Malecon. Owner would like to emphasize, if you are looking for a party house or a place on the beach, this is not it. We are located in the desert, a mile west of I-5 from the first guard station, Paseo del Sol, 12 miles to the Malecon and 2 miles to EDR's private beach. It's quiet here and that's what people have come to love about staying in the Casita. If you want to party, then please feel free to rent a Motel in town.

Gracias y Bienvenido Amigos a San Felipe y El Dorado Ranch en Paseo del Sol, Casa de Katalina. Disfruta de tus vacaciones en Casa de Katalina!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed at Casa Katalina! Katalina is such a great host and welcoming. Katrina (her dog) is also a great host and welcoming. The space is better than what the photos show and had everything you need if you enjoy cooking “at home”. Katalina gave us great suggestions for local activities and places to visit. This rental space is very secure, relaxing, quiet with great views! We will definitely be back again! Thank you for everything Katalina & see you soon! <3 Irene & Abraham

Terrrific Lodging, Terrific Host
Upon my arrival, the host had waiting for me the rented room completely impeccably clean, with a complete kitchen and comfortable bed. The host also shared with me details about the local area such as good restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this lodging if you want to remove yourself from daily pressure. The property is not located right on the beach, instead it is located perhaps 3 kilometers/1.5 miles from the ocean. Still, it is only 15 minutes from downtown San Felipe, is clean, safe, and has a wonderful host. Book it. You will not be disappointed.
