Romantic retreat for rest & relaxation

We spent 8 nights at Casita Pepita and could've stayed another 8 easily. The relaxed atmosphere and cozy ambiance was just what the doctor ordered to recharge and chill out. Mir & Mike were very helpful in getting us oriented and arranging massages and side trips. We got a nice feel from them of what it was like living there full time which made us feel welcome at our new home away from home. The casita was well appointed and comfy and private. Cooking was possible for fairly simple meals, and perhaps a few additional items would enhance this to encourage us to not leaving the place for dinners (a colander or salad spinner and maybe a microwave - I know, perhaps too civilized for here...?) Really minor, and half the fun was figuring out how to make it happen with what we had to work with. Mike outfitted us with everything we needed to hit Cerritos beach, and the excursion to Espiritu Santos out of La Paz was a highlight - swimming with the sea lions, seeing dolphins AND even a whale, were very special experiences. Memorable meals were Los Adobe, Danny's Place, Londi's at Todos Santos Inn, La Casita and the fish taco place on Del Huerto (Jose's place). I would totally skip Hotel California's bland, uninteresting food (go for their spicy margaritas). In Pescadero, Carlito's was ok, but shockingly expensive for lunch, and his attitude was bordering on downright hostile. A great vacation, easy direct flight, easy drive up from Cabo (on a brand spanking new freeway), and the oasis garden right on the ocean a haven to daydream, read, or just nap. Bottom line, I highly recommend Casita Pepita and Todos Santos - well worth a visit. We did not want to leave. Thanks again Mir & Mike, for a memorable time!
