We are a family of 11 ages 2-75. There was plenty of room for all, and every amenity we could think of. The property is gorgeous, right on the beach, just past the palm trees. :-). The pool and hot tub were perfect. We loved having meals on the patio, looking out at the water.We had a great time and hope to go back.
This property was better than the pictures! The home was very tidy, and the staff was kind and knowledgeable. Certainly a location we'll want to return to.
Perfect home for our extended family. Lots of room to spread out. The kids loved the pool and spa. Super location near town. Beautiful views and access to the water. Jeanne, Carlos, and Luci were courteous, helpful, and took good care of us.
Great house right on the sea, suited our family beautifully. Close to town as well. Lucy cooked amazing meals for us, and Carlos was just a few steps away to help with any needs. Wish the weather had been warmer, but cannot control that. Overall, a wonderful week in Loreto and at Casa Allegre.
We had a lovely stay at the cabin in Early Feb. our dog loved roaming the mountain side. The views were beautiful and the cabin had everything you need. The drive into Ashville was about 25 min. We had a great time exploring the town and visiting the Biltmore. The owner was very helpful and responsive and the bed was very comfortable!
We (five families and four young kids) had an absolutely amazing time at Casa Alegre. The pictures donât do it justice. It was spacious, clean and well stocked for our visit. The caretaker Carlos was available if we needed and cook Lucy was amazing. We loved walking to the town on the beach at low tide and playing in the hot tub and pool with the kids. Weâll definitely be back!
It is clear that the hosts make every effort to provide guests all the accommodations possible for a wonderful vacation. It is also clear that this is a house that is loved and cared for. Most significantly, the location is gorgeous, with amazing sunrises over the mountains and ocean right outside most bedroom windows- a wonderful way to wake up (there are great shades for those that donât want to be up with the sun, but most of us found we couldnât resist the views) There are some amenities that are showing their age, but the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen stocked with all the equipment youâll need and the location to the downtown area is just right- walkable, but far enough to be peaceful. Loreto itself is a wonderful town, with friendly, gracious residents who are tourist friendly, but donât leave you feeling like youâre at a resort. I know we hope to go back soon!
We had a wonderful stay at the Casa Alegre. The home was as described, but that was only the beginning!
Loreto Town- we felt nothing but safe and secure every moment. We were a combined family of grown females and toddler boys, never once did we feel strange anywhere in the town or surrounding areas.
The Home- perfectly laid out for differing age groups. Areas to nap quietly, areas to party, areas to quietly read a book. Areas to take your buddies money at backgammon.
Lucy and Carlos- Lucy was amazing, not just as a cooking resource but also as a guide for activities as well as airport transportation. Carlos was never more than 5 minutes away for the few times we needed guidance.
The Jeep- worth the insurance expense. Invaluable for getting around Loreto town.
The CD in the Jeep- the real MVP of the trip, our daughter grew to Love reggae, we appreciate that!
Loreto- quaint little fishing town- lots of Charm!
This was the first time visiting Loreto and we loved that we had a direct flight into this rustic, old world charm little town. We opted for the convenience of a rental home vs a hotel stay. On our first day we arrived and the onsite cook, Lucy, had a prepared fish taco meal ready to great us. It was delicious and we were hungry after a flight delay.
The house was spacious, clean, and it had a lot of amenities. the kids enjoyed the movie room - we bought some microwavable popcorn and the kids enjoyed movie night twice in the same week.
Definitely take advantage of the two kayak's that come with the home, with the beach steps away, we used them to venture to the waters and they were easy to maneuver the kids in them.
We loved the convenience of the jeep included with the house. It was perfect for the day getting to and from the beer runs and also shopping and exploring the town. We bought an online policy to cover 4 days and it was only $50. Worth it!
Be prepared to see some local bugs roaming around, its part of the environment, we saw quite a few black beetles, but they were harmless.
the neighborhood is quiet, we brought our own blue tooth speaker and played music while the kids swam in the pool. We also brought a few pool inflatables.
Lucy recommended a boat service from the marina to Coronado Island for a day excursion it was the highlight of our trip. They even scheduled a taxi pick up for us all and drop off included in the trip price. Our excursion included fresh ceviche and clams prepared on shore as well as a cooler full of waters, sodas, and beer.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, all the meals prepared by Lucy were delicious, and she was very service oriented, answered all our questions. We would come back again!
The Host was attentive and responsive and best of all cared about our overall experience.
We come to loreto as a family at least once a year. First time at this location. Location is great. House lived up to its online description and had more.
Beautiful view. Excellent furniture and Lucy the cook was a nice touch. Fixed breakfast very morning. The beach was not swim-able with broken glass and trash. No TVâs in the bedrooms. Swimming pool had the same leaves every day. Itâs shows well on the web site but it could use some maintenance.
A group of us have been going to Loreto for 15 years. We decided to upgrade to this amazing house and we are so glad we did! Each of us had our own suite. The views are stunning. Having Lucy come at 5am to make us an amazing breakfast was a bonus. I canât imagine we will stay any where else in the future. Itâs a short 5 minute ride to the marina. Highly recommend!
Lucy and Carlos made this vacation extra special by helping us find local fresh fish, cooking amazing meals and answering all our questions about local attractions. The house itself is spectacular, clean, comfortable and fun. We are sad to leave. We will be coming back!
11 of us stayed at the casa, 6 adults and 5 kids. Itâs was such a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our group. Lucy was a huge part in making the week so amazing. She cooked breakfast every morning and we hired her for 3 dinners too. She is such a wonderful soul it was fun to be around her!
We walked to town and utilized the jeep to drive to dinner 3 of the nights. We took a day trip to Coronado and saw whales, dolphins and sea lions. We also used the kayaks at the house which was a highlight for many. Canât say enough good things! It was a week we wonât forget.
My 6yr old daughter call this place her majestic mansion. (She is really into Disney movies.) we could not have been more pleased with our stay. Lucy was a fabulous chef and Carlos was there for anything we needed. We had 6 adults and 1 child and everyone felt like they had their own space. Thank you for a great week.
You get more then what you see in the pictures. Great communication with property manger upon arrival and during our stay there always someone there to help us. I will definitely recommend Casa Alegre for your vacation
