We had a great time staying at Casa Leones! When we checked in we were met by the owner, TL, who warmly welcomed us in with a shot of tequila and made sure that we were well situated and knew all the great places to go for food and drinks.
The house was wonderful and quite spacious, with great views from the living room over the ocean, and an awesome rooftop deck. Unfortunately the rainy weather didn't allow us to spend much time up there, but we would definitely look to come back in the summer time when the deck would be great for lounging! We did take advantage of the hot tub, which has a nice view of the ocean. The beds were nice and comfy, and the bathrooms had really nice showers. The kitchen was very nice and spacious, which made it easy for us to make dinner, and the house also had a grill that was perfect for cooking up some carne asada.
Omar, the guard for the community, was awesome! He helped us get a driver to take us into Puerto Nuevo for dinner, and also down into the Valle de Guadalupe where we did some wine tasting. We felt very secure the whole time we were down there as Omar was keeping a tight ship with everyone entering the community, and at night there were several guards patrolling the community with flashlights. Despite the security, we never felt unsafe while we were down in Baja, as everyone we met was very welcoming and happy to host us. My friend and I went exploring for surf and met plenty of people who were happy to chat with us and give us suggestions.
This house was in a great location, being close to Puerto Nuevo (the lobster village), about an hour from the wine country, not too far from Ensenada, and close to lots of surfing (you can even surf right in front of the community). We would definitely consider coming back to stay at Casa Leones in the future.
