About this property

Casa Moonshine, 2 casitas with a pool and A.C. short walk to the beach!

Casa Moonshine is a new, self-sufficient home in the peaceful, off-grid community of Zacatitos on the East Cape of Baja. We offer two booking options depending on the number of people in your party. This option includes two poolside studio casitas with a tranquil lounge pool and a beautiful palm-thatched roof palapa surrounded by an ancient grove of giant Cardón Cacti and gardens that complement the natural scenery.

TWO BEDROOMS, TWO KITCHENETTES AND TWO BATHROOMS.
Can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children with two queen beds, and two cots.


DETAILS
Fall asleep to the soothing rhythm of the Sea of Cortez. Wake up to the sweet sounds of songbirds. Casa Moonshine is a modern retreat in a rural Baja paradise designed with privacy and serenity in mind. Playa los Zacatitos, a pristine, swimmable beach, is only 1/4 mile away.

Two identical poolside casitas each include:

- A comfortable queen-sized bed and a single cot mattress to accommodate one child.
- Fully stocked kitchenette (refrigerator, oven, sink, stove, coffee maker, and necessities for cooking and dining.)
- Full bathroom including towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap.
- Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors bring in plenty of natural light and stunning pool and cactus views.
- Air Conditioning

The swimming pool is just a few steps outside the studio casitas, with giant cacti, palm trees, and blooming desert foliage as a picturesque backdrop and privacy barrier. The pool's shallow end is about a foot deep and perfect for wading, while the deep end is ideal for swimming or taking a refreshing dip on a hot day.

The spacious outdoor living area, under the cool shade of the palapa, provides abundant comfortable seating and plenty of room to gather and enjoy your meals together. The palapa is the place to be for a mid-day siesta in a hammock, to tune out and read a book, play card games, or kick back and relax with a cold beverage.

A sufficient workstation could be set up under the palapa for those who work remotely. A reliable wi-fi connection is available throughout the property.

Guests of Casa Moonshine have access to the entire half-acre property, both poolside casitas, palapa, and pool. The casitas will not be rented individually to separate parties. During your stay, you will enjoy the privacy of having the entire property all to yourself.


OFF-THE-GRID

Because of our unique off-grid situation, it is important to know that there are some amenities Casa Moonshine does not offer, such as television, microwave, dishwasher, disposal and laundry facilities.


WILDLIFE
Zacatitos is home to an abundance of wildlife. You will surely meet some of these friendly locals during your stay.
Wild Burros , Free Range Cattle, Deer, Silver Fox, Iguanas, Rabbits, Vultures, Hawks and a wide variety of other birds and reptiles.

TRANQUIL. MAGICAL. PRIVATE.
These are some of the words often used to describe Casa Moonshine. The privacy of the pool, the allure of the palapa, and the peaceful, native surroundings are the property's highlights and a few of the elements our guests love most.


AS OF MARCH 2024, Casa Moonshine can now accommodate up to 8 Adults and 2 children with the completion of our new two-bedroom Garden Casita!
The new Garden Casita sleeps up to 4 adults with one queen bed and two twin beds. This casita includes two connecting bedrooms and one full bathroom.

Just right...
Casa Moonshine was just the right amount of remoteness for our 10 day family vacation. We loved the community and everything about the location. Hosts were full of great recommendations (compiled in a lovely book) and the property manager was awesome and super helpful throughout our stay (met us at the nearby restaurant to show us the way to the casa upon our arrival). The property was beautiful and set up for outdoor living, which we fully embraced! We loved the pool, the palapa, the proximity to the ocean, walking the neighborhood, donkey calls, all of it was just perfect.

Paradise found!
I stayed 4 days here with some girlfriends and we had an absolutely incredible time. The owners did such a beautiful job of building this place. You can tell they really put their hearts into it. Everything about it was wonderful. The beds are comfy. The casitas are beautiful. We stayed outside most of the time, either at the pool or palapa. We hung out under that beautiful palapa late into the nights and went back under there first thing in the morning for coffee and yoga. The vibe is so good. There is a lot to do in the area, but we really didn’t want to leave much. We did wander down to the beach a couple times (it’s amazing), as well as the hike to Punta Gorda and we had dinner at Zac’s most nights. (Zac’s has incredible food.) I was struck by the simplicity of everything - our entertainment was mostly each other and the wildlife (there’s a lot!). We are already planning a trip again in a few months. I cannot say enough good about this place! We took the owners advice and got groceries near the airport before heading out. We made sure to arrive before dark since this is rural Mexico and it would be difficult out to find otherwise, and we ate at Zac’s and took a voyage down the beach to Zai Sushi one night. The owners know what’s up. Their suggestions were spot on. Do keep in mind that this is wild territory. Lots of flora and fauna. We loved that aspect of it. It’s a perfect place to get away from the craziness of our modern lives and just unplug and breathe deeply.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Mooney

Host profile image
We grew up in Northern Utah, U.S. where we spent much of our lives exploring the mountains and deserts of our home state and have always enjoyed travelling to the worlds most beautiful beaches. The desert landscape and rugged mountains made Baja feel like home, but the pristine, secluded beaches of the East Cape ultimately drew us into Playa Los Zacatitos. We truly love this part of the world and are passionate about creating memorable vacation experiences for our guests. Reach out anytime with questions about Casa Moonshine or the Los Cabos area.

Why they chose this property

Los Zacatitos is an off-the-grid, laid-back, beachside community on the southern end of the East Cape of Baja, Mexico. If you enjoy empty beaches, incredible sunsets, and quiet, starry nights, you will quickly fall for the charm of Zacatitos. The roads are dirt, the people are friendly, and the weather is perfect! You'll feel like you are far off in a super remote location, while you are actually just a twenty-minute drive into the vibrant city of San José del Cabo. Whether planning a day of shopping and dining or seeking outdoor adventures on land or in the water, Casa Moonshine is a perfect home base. There is no shortage of exciting things to do in and around Zacatitos. Or if all you want to do is kick back and relax, there's no better place to do nothing at all.
