This little piece of paradise was the perfect holiday for us. We enjoyed the private beach setting with no crowds. The beach front was amazing, we could hear the ocean waves at night. We enjoyed many days by the ocean, playing in the sand. Los Barilles is a nice little town with many great restaurants and everything you need. The scenery and peacefulness made our holiday a very relaxing one. Barb and Rod are gracious hosts and provide you with anything you need. They are very knowledgeable of the area and life here. They provide privacy but also wonderful company. Thank you so much for making our vacation memorable. Casey says "Thanks DUDE and Barb".

The internet has the ability to really frame a place,
and often, the descriptions and photos of a place
do not match the reality.
I was thrilled to discover that Casa Albright not
only matches its billing, it far exceeds it. I know of
no other place where a family can stay right on the
beach, 50 feet from the aqua blue waters of the Sea
of Cortez without having to take out a second (or
third) mortgage. In a place where value is
becoming hard to find, Casa Albright remains a
true treasure.
We caught fish from the free kayaks, spent hours
on what is virtually a private beach and saw a turtle
come up and start excavating its nest. It was
indeed a fantastic experience. We have already
recommended it to friends of ours.

We looked at so many places on VRBO it became exhausting. I told DeWayne you decide, I dont care *sigh*
We almost decided-settled really- on a place. Then I found Casa Albright, I told DeWayne,wait and look at this place, there was no decision to be made--this was obviously the place for us. Rod & Barb have been nothing but extremely gracious & accommodation, providing everything anyone could possilbe want or need here, including privacy. We especially admire their regard for marine life & the evniroment. DeWayne is so happy to fly his malin flag and we will be back for more. The Kayaks and ATV were something out of the ordinary for us. Which really helps make a great vacation. YA'LL can count on seeing us again.
thanks so much

We just got back from 15 days in East Cape -- 4 nights in San Jose, 4 nights at Rod and Barb's place in Los Barriles and then a week in La Paz. Of these three places, we enjoyed Rod and Barb's place the most. The house was much better than the description on the Website, the beach was perfect and Rod and Barb were incredibly gracious hosts. We will definitely be back again next year. Oh, by the way --- rent Rod's ATVs and take a ride on the beach. Cheapest ATV's anywhere and great fun. Thanks again Rod and Barb. LOVE AND LOVE the place!!!

Rod and Barb,
On April 11, 2008 my family ventured to BCS for a family vacation to enjoy Mulege, Punta Colorada /Los Cabos via private plane and then on to Los Barriles via rental car to stay 5 days with Rod and Barb. What happened on April 14th taxing down the runway at Hotel Serenidad Mulege en route to Cabo/Punta Colorada at 8:04am that morning will forever be a vacation my family will never forget. I'll let Rod and Barb tell our story when you visit this oasis of paradise in Los Barriles that they've created. I will also tell you that my family will always be in debt to Rod and Barb for their care, hospitality and guidance during our stay. They gave back our vacation after the incident in Mulege and we are forever grateful for the compassion and assistance they provided. We will return absolutely.
All our love, Marek, Lynn, Kayla, and Lea.

WoW this place is a very special location yes right on the Ocean...
Fishing out your front door to riding the ATv's on the beach or just doing nothing this is the place to be.
This house was everything I expected and much more..What a value
We will go again next year for a little longer time.
Rod and Barb were fantastic and made us feel right at home.We spent a second week in Cabo but wished we stayed at Casa Albright.
Great people and a fantastic time... |

After reading all the comments my wife and I thought we just had go visit..We had such a nice relaxing time. We feel we have become part of a new family. All the neighbors are great, they get together for full moon parties each month. We were lucky to be there for the full moon in March. We are planning for next year and will make sure we check out the calendar so we're there for the FULL MOON party.

This was our first time to be in Mexico. I was little scared, it turned into the best trip we have ever taken. We took our two sons with. There is plenty for them to do so that we could just sit near the water and relax. Rod and Barb turned out to be such super people. They were always ready to lend a hand when needed. We booked our trip for next year before we left...
You wont regret staying here it is really right on the water... |

Rod & Barb,
What an incredible place you have in paradise. We love it so much, we'll be back every year (if you'll have us!)Your property is spectacular- we loved everything. It's clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you could ever need. I really had to think long and hard about posting a comment, because we don't want to share this treasure with anyone else. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and fabulous rental property.
Can't wait to see you both in November!

Rod & Barb,
Just wanted to thank both of you for your generous hospitality during our stay in Baja. We had the most wonderful time staying at Casa Albright. It was so nice of you to welcome us into your "family" of friends and neighbors, guide us to your favorite local spots, take us fishing, etc., etc.
We can't thank you enough! We had one of the most relaxing trips we can remember & felt priveledged to share your bit of paradise on the ocean.
Congratulations on the 400lb marlin. That must have been exciting.
Have the happiest of holidays. Hope to see you next year sometime.

| Although we have been to this area of Baja before, this was our first stay at Casa Albright & we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Rod & Barb were very gracious hosts, making us feel more like friends than vacation home renters. They guided us to the best restaurants & bars, and they are excellent fishing guides -- we caught Dorado & Blue Marlin while on their boat, and also caught a few fish right from shore. We had a perfectly relaxing trip with just the right amount of socializing & would definately recommend this rental home to others. Muchas Gracias, Rod & Barb! |

Stayed at Rod and Barb's for the first time and could not have made a better choice. We got a firsthand look at how to survive the catagory one hurricane Henrietta in luxury during two days of our weeklong stay. Thanks to the self sufficiency of Casa Albright we enjoyed movies, DSL internet connections, Coctails and shared dinners with two of the most hospitable people in the Los Barriles area, and simply ignored the storm raging outside.
If you stay here consider yourself fully covered for whatever Baja throws your way.

| Our 3rd trip was, as always, a wonderful experience. Rod and Barb are truly wonderful hosts, and Rod is El Capitan extrordinaire on the Bill Collector. Casa Albright is by far the best vacation rental we have EVER stayed in. Privacy, hospitality, cleanliness, beauty, multitudes of recreational possibilities, what could be better? |

The accomodations were 1st class, very clean, the best we've had experienced in Baja.Barb and Rod are incredibly hospitible, helpful and yet give you all the privacy you need. We spent 3 weeks there and can't wait to go back next year.

| The pictures do not do justice for this wonderful vacation home. We were truly amazed upon arriving at Casa Albright. The house was very comfortable and private. We traveled with our three and six year old children, and had plenty of room for the whole family. We really enjoyed spending the day on the boat with Rod, and renting the 4-wheelers. It is a beautiful place to vacation, and we hope to return sometime soon. Thank you Rod and Barb for a wonderful vacation! |

| What a beautiful beach - and right out the front door of this sweet little place. We all (including our 15-yr old son) had a memorable time at Casa Albright. The accommodations, location and hosts were as great as they sounded on their website. We'll be recommending it to our friends when they come to visit us in the house we had to have there! |

The accommodations and friendly hosts we found at
Casa Albright will always stand out in our minds as
having made a wonderful experience of Baja. Baja Sur, in general, is truly
breathtaking for its natural beauty and the remarkably
warm and genuine people who make their home there.
This was our first trip to the community of Los
Barriles and we instantly felt at home there. Rod and Barb, the wonderful and helpful hosts have
outfitted this comfortable haven with countless
thoughtful details, including a well stocked kitchen. It is
spotlessy clean and the view is breathtaking. In short, we
didn't want to leave and now find ourselves dreaming
about returning as soon as we can! We highly recommend everyone rent Rod's boat for a day. The various marine life, views from the boat, not to mention the fantastic fishing, it's an incredible experience. We caught and released two stripped marlin and it was the trill of a lifetime. We definitely
recommend this special place to any and all who seek a
blissful holiday filled with warmth and comfort. |

| The web-site for this rental is totally accurate. The beach is private and beautiful. Everything you need is there and you dont have to bring many extra items. It worked out perfect for our 6 year old, there was plenty of space inside for her to run around and even a fenced in yard she could play in when we were not playing on the beach. We have rented many private rentals and this one is by far the largest we have been in for the price range. It is the place to choose if you enjoy privacy but is only a short drive if you feel the need to go into Cabo to be amonst crowds. For our vacation it was perfect. I feel lucky to have found it and hope to visit again sometime. Barb and Rod thank you for making the place so nice. Cheryl, James and Keelyn. |

| "Shock and awe" could describe our reaction when arriving at the unbelievable beachside site we were recently privileged to call our home for a week. It is literally right on the sand of a very private shore. What a great opportunity to experience the Baja. We explored the entire area and especially enjoyed getting familiar with the nearby town of Los Barrile and its many excellent restaurants. It was a perfect way to have freedom and adventure, while yet having the assurance of caring, knowledgeable hosts. Barb and Rod did everything they could think of to make our stay enjoyable -- and it certainly was! |

| We spent an enjoyable week at Casa Albright. Rod & Barb are excellent hosts. The accomodations are excellent and well stocked with dishes, kitchen applicances, beach chairs, towels, and coolers. The beach is great and empty. We spent 4-5 hours on the beach one day and only saw one person. We rode a 4-wheeler on miles of empty beach and fun dirt roads. If great empty beaches is what you want, Casa Albright is it. We hope to come back soon. |

| Casa Albright was the highlight of our Baja vacation. This is a gorgeous location, on a quiet secluded beach, with great snorkeling near by. The accommodations were beyond our expectations. The unit is very well kept with everything you will need and a beautiful view. If this is not enough, Rod and Barb are extremely helpful and friendly.

My wife and I spent 30 wonderful days at Rod and Barb's duplex, the unit exceeded our expectations. The house is located in a very quiet area shared with a few other homes, a great place to relax. Within 6 miles you have Buena Vista and Los Barriles, which offer a good selection of restaurants, there is also a fairly well stocked grocery store. This is a great place to use as base camp for exploring the nearby area, Cabo San Lucas (less than a 1 1/2 hour drive) or take a day trip to the pacific side on Hwy 19 to view the beautiful coast line. Regardless of what activities you like it would be very difficult to find any better location. The big plus (no addition charge)is Rod and Barb, two of the nicest people you're going to meet.
Thank you Rod And Barb, see you next year. |

| Barry and I stayed at Rod and Barb's lovely home the last week in October 2004. We were extremely pleased with our whole visit. Barry and Rod went fishing one day while I lounged on the beach right out the front door of our house. I saw bat rays and the mariposa's (yellow butterflies) were so thick I could almost reach out my hand to touch them. We both highly recommend this spot for a great vacation. Clean, quiet, perfect. |

| Wow. We just got back from the most relaxing and adventurous vacation you could imagine. We stayed at Casa Albright for 12 glorious days. Everything was beyond our expectations. This casita is really ON a gorgeous and quiet beach with breathtaking views of the mountains and Sea of Cortez. The house was spotless and roomy. Snorkeling is an easy walk away and out-of-this-world. Exploring the arroyos and hillsides on ATVs is exhilerating. Unspoiled natural beauty is everywhere. The Albrights, both Barb and Rod, could not have been better hosts. Within a day we felt a warm friendship. Without a doubt, we feel very fortunate to have met them and to have been able to stay in this amazing and magical spot. Hears to Barb and Rod for making this available to people. It really is a treasure! |

I've always loved the Buena Vista area, but my stay with Brian at Rod and Barb's casita was my best trip there by far! We explored the beaches and arroyos from Ranch Leonero to Punta Pescadero, walked from our front door to a beautiful reef to snorkel almost every morning, kayaked, had the most delicious sashimi from the yellowfin tuna Brian reeled in, made cocktails and watched the sun set from our porch in the evenings, and met some wonderful people on the way . . . It was the ultimate relaxing and feel-good get away! The morning we were due to leave, Brian went out fishing and hooked 2 striped marlins . . . We ended up staying 3 more fabulous days and STILL didn't want to leave.
I can't imagine more accomodating, generous, and charming hosts! Thank you so much for everything, Rod and Barb!
We'll see you again!
