Car: recommended
Kino Bay is a delightful combination of tropical beach environment with nearby desert and mountain views. The village of Kino Viejo is a small, vibrant community wish lots of local fishing and wonderful small restaurants. People are known for their friendliness. This is not a place for disco dancing; the atmosphere is relaxed and lends itself best to hiking, walks on the beach, fishing and swimming, reading and relaxing. It's perfect for families, artists and writers, nature lovers, and people who like to experience Mexican culture and have a good time! Local vendors feature everything from collector quality Seri baskets to ironwood carvings, colorful ceramics, handmade hammocks, and jewelry. The food is excellent, especially seafood. Casa Tortuga is within walking distance of some very good restaurants, and we are surrounded by friendly neighbors.

Relaxing, Relaxing, Relaxing

Loved Casa Bisbee, Arizona
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We rented both studios of Casa De Tortuga. They were everything and more. We were a little nervous about committing to our plans to go during Hurricane Jimena, But Carolyn was great about keeping in contact with us and keeping us up to date on the local weather. The first day we had a private beach. And the other days very few people. I think we over packed (in case of weather changes). But we had more than enough towels, bedding, pots, pans, a grill. Movies. Great AC, Purified water.Security. The different levels are gated with your own key to come and go as you please. Owners live on the same property, but are in no way intrusive. Instead they are helpful and great for advice and information. This is a perfect place to go if you don't want an itenerary. Or the worry of I need to get in all the great sites. I do suggest you drive 10 minutes into Kino Viejo (old kino) and do some local shopping. Go on a boat ride. You can not get lost. Explore a little. You will surprise yourself and just Relax. Also the directions Carolyn links you to are right on. Her advice about tipping and where to turn, what to look for. If you have never driven into Mexico Please do not feel intimidated. All we were asked for was our vehicles registration and ID. Passing the tolls is easy and they have the signs translated into English. Enjoy!

Our Week at the Pelican Penthouse

Duane and Sherie Arizona
Review Submitted: June 2, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We referred to the Pelican Studio as our Penthouse, being the upper level of our hosts' beautiful beach home with amazing views of the ocean. The care put into the creative design and decorating of the Pelican should be appreciated by anyone who is fortunate enough to enjoy a visit here.

It was exciting to see dolphins and fun watching the pelicans diving for food. We had views of the ocean from every location in the studio (except for the bathroom) and the sound of the waves was our favorite music. We also enjoyed long walks on the beautiful sandy beach, our private beach most days.

We liked the casual beach restaurants that offered great food and value (missing the torritos already), but also enjoyed being able to purchase fresh fish directly from the local fisherman and dine on our balcony with amazing views of the stars and sound of the waves.

Thank you Perry and Carolyn for being sensitive of our privacy yet sharing time with us. Although being first time visitors we felt very comfortable. We appreciated learning about your community and admire your devotion to it and our environment.

P.S. Once we returned to Arizona Duane bought me a brightly painted wooden pelican for our patio as a reminder of our visit and a request for a quick return trip.

Perfect in every way!

R & R Casa Grande, AZ
Review Submitted: June 1, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We were lucky to get to stay in both suites and this one
is definitely larger. The views are amazing. The sunsets
and stars are too beautiful. This suite has a full kitchen
which is great if you want to cook in and not eat out
every meal. The owners Perry and Carolyn are so knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. They introduced us to some of their Seri Indian friends and helped us purchase some Seri handmade objects. They
even speak the language which is a huge help. We are
looking forward to our next visit! Carolyn also did all of the
tile work and it is unbelieveably beautiful. Enjoy!

A Week in Kino

DV eldest Marfa, Texas, USA
Review Submitted: May 17, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
We are long time fans of Bahia Kino but usually stay with friends who told us about the lovely owners of Casa Tortuga. We wanted a bit more privacy for this visit so we decided to give them a try. And we were absolutely thrilled by our decision. The Pelican Studio is a perfect get away, ultra clean, tastefully decorated, intimate, private. The kitchen is small but quite adequate. We did fresh clams and pasta for four one night. As long as it is warm enough to use the porch entertaining more would be fine. It has stunning views from inside and even more so from the spacious porch. The grounds of the entire house are very nice as well. Owner/operators Perry and Carolyn are just superb people, friendly and approachable yet utterly respectful their guests time and privacy. And to top it all off the price is almost unbelievable for such quality in a fine location!
Do not go to Kino if you want a wide variety of upscale dining, nightlife, and other standard "resort" distractions. Do go to Kino if you want good basic local quisine at several different places, cheap but highly effective margarita's, miles and miles of beach to walk and ocean birds to watch, dolphins right off shore. And if you stay at Casa Tortuga all these things plus the sound of surf as you sleep for less than the price of the average Holiday freakin' Inn.
We will return and have already recommended it to friends.
