Just spent 8 days at Sand Castle, and what a great place.
Very nice home, perfect location and best of all lots of room with great patio over looking ocean. Mary and Gary are great hosts and with Mimi the chef doing the cooking was well worth and 6 people meals was $40 to $45 per meal for 6.
security was excellent also
Thanks Mary

We were looking for a perfect, family get away home with pet friendly surroundings and great views. With sand castle we definitely got more than we bargained for. It is an extremely secure and safe home with every amenity imaginable to make our large family feel right at home. We went with our family, which included Myself, my husband, our three boys and my son's girlfriend. Not to mention our two dogs. we stayed here the first week of July for three nights, and by the end of the trip, even the dogs were sad to be going home. All the beautiful decorations and ocean front living was exactly what our family needed. Despite what the media might say, Mexico is just as calm and relaxing as ever. We were never bothered by police or any criminal element. We went to the different little towns and markets and did lots of shopping and enjoyed an absolutely pleasant experience.

Our family...6 adults, 8 children ages 4 to 13, & 2 dogs...just spent an awesome week at Sandcastle in Cantamar. The location was perfect for us. A bit south of Rosarito it is out of the hustle & bustle of the tourists but close enough if we wanted to 'go to town'. In a gated community we never once felt unsafe. It was quiet, secure and just plain relaxing. The house and grounds were perfect. Enough space for everybody to hang out, run around, lay back, be together or far apart. The house has generous sized rooms and beautiful views. The steps down to the beach are easy....not like some of the places we have stayed. We will certainly stay here again. Mary & Gary are welcoming hosts and very helpful if you have questions....or even if you don't. We have been to Baja enough that we don't do much of the "tourist" stuff anymore but the "tourist" stuff is close and accessible. The beach is the big draw for all the grandkids. The boggie boarding is great right in front of the house.....and they loved the hot tub! We had Mimi (recommended by the Winnings) come and fix us some meals while we were there. Excellent food. She buys, cooks, serves & cleans up for a very reasonable price. One dinner for 14 cost $70.00...wonderful fresh Talapia fish, with cheese quesadillas, home made re-fried beans, fresh salsa, fresh quacamole & rice....and she leaves any leftovers for snacking! We would not hesitate to recommend Sandcastle and the Winnings to anybody looking for a gorgeous time-out spot.

My family and I were very pleased with the sandcastle mini-vacation experience.
Mary, the owner was very accommodating and understanding of the reservation/confirmation problem.
We will come back to sandcastle again!

My girlfriend's family and I were looking for a place in Rosarito where we could bring our pets without compromising the other amenities that we wanted (oceanfront location, comfortable house, etc.).

We found it and more at the Casa Sandcastle. The setting is perfect for playful dogs vacationers alike. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and most importantly, has a magnificent view of the ocean. We saw dolphins every afternoon while our dogs played blissfully in the yard.

The location is great, close enough to Rosarito for day/night trips to town, but far enough away that you feel isolated and at peace. Puerto Nuevo is close by for those that like to dine out, and Ensenada is only 1/2 an hour away, providing lots of options for those that want to explore. The security is excellent and we never felt at all concerned.

Mary and Gary are a joy to interact with and made us feel right at home.

Finally, for those that want it all, the price cannot be beat. We highly recommend staying at Casa Sandcastle, the adjacent Casa Mary, or renting both and the Casita if you have a large party.

My husband, his sister, her husband and me all wanted to escape to a serene location with the comforts of home, but without the stress and hastle that often accompanies such a place. We were definitely not dissapointed. The privacy and security were top-notch. The price couldn't be beat. We felt as though we were in our own little tropical world. The views were breath-taking: sunset and sunrise are not to be missed! The house had plenty of room for the 2 couples without feeling like we were on top of each other. We cooked in the kitchen for every meal(except one excursion for lobster burritos in Rosarito - a must!). Much time was spent lounging on the breezy front porch overlooking the ocean or in the bubbling private hot tub. I think we woudl all say it was a great vacation and we would do it again in an instant!

My wife and three children (ages 14, 12 & 11) met up with another couple and their little boy at Mary's Casa Sandcastle about 45 minutes south of the Mexican/US border. We were looking for an affordable luxury vacation with ocean front accommodations.
Upon our arrival we were very impressed with the gated and armed security on duty 24 hours a day. I had a visitor that did not have proper ID, and they would not let him through the gate.
Once we got to Casa Sandcastle, we found that the entire property was securely enclosed. We parked our car inside the properties gate.
The views of the ocean are incredible, and unobstructed. From nearly every vantage point, we saw and heard the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed that we had direct beach access from the properties own steps down to the beach. Mary and her husband Gary really thought of everything. They even had wood ready for us to burn in the fireplace! This rental was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook at home when we wanted. It was also close enough to the markets, spas and La Fonda (10 minutes), so that we did not feel isolated. Far enough away from Rosarito (15 minutes) to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough for some bargaining.
We had a great and relaxing time at Sandcastle. We enjoyed the accommodations and pricing so much, that we have already booked another vacation at Sandcastle. If you are looking for breathtaking ocean views and also tight security while vacationing in Baja, than you can't miss by staying at Sandcastle.
