This is a 5000 Sq ft home overlooking a bay of the Sea of Cortez on the Playa Caracol. It is part of a large, high end housing development with gated entrance. Caracol Turistica is one of the homes closest to entrance/exit; therefore, the location is perfect for an easy walk to the marina, several restaurants, a supermarket, and the small rocky beach the house overlooks. The owners are gracious and easy to reach by phone. An A+ rating for them. The view is spectacular facing east. Sun and moon rise are beautiful. It's a beautiful home with great murals on inside walls. The outside veranda was a great place to sit and enjoy the spectacular view.
A couple of drawbacks. We were there during a fairly chilly week (70-73F with evening temps in the 50's). Mini-splits simply are not made to heat that kind of space, so after the morning sun, the house was always chilly. (A suggestion for this, some warm, cozy throws to wrap up in would have been nice.) My guess, when it's hot this house would provide perfect cool areas. The downstairs bedrooms (which we never used) felt a bit claustrophobic, but again, probably perfect for hot weather.
This is a pet friendly home, and the outside more comfortable chairs and couch reflected that. We are dog owners, however, wish those had been better cleaned.
Overall, our stay was lovely, and would definitely recommend Caracol Turistica when the weather in San Carlos is warmer or hot. And thank you Abby for your prompt responses to our calls.
