Todos los Santos House rental - Overview
Recently featured in HABITAT magazine and in the coffee table book 21st Century Houses: 150 of the world' best (see photos below), this unique house is a 3 bedroom beach house with pool designed by architect Jorge Gracia, whose projects have also been featured in Dwell and Wallpaper magazines.
The architecture mixes pure modernism and Mexican rustic, allowing guests to experience simple yet sophisticated comfort in a tasteful minimalist environment.
The concept behind the design is to recreate the spirit of the vacation house of the fifties and sixties, where family and friends would gather in a well designed place without pretense or obnoxious luxury to enjoy each other's company.
To that effect, the house is composed of three simple bedrooms disposed around a central living space which includes a kitchen with bar and a living room area opened to a terrace which extends and ends at the edge of the pool.
Our wish is to foster interaction between guests in a relaxing environment away from modern life disturbances so we have no TV or video games. We have a music player with a CD library of world music, jazz and other relaxing music (you can connect your ipod) and a small library with interesting books in English and French as well as cards and board games.
If you wish to watch movies, just bring your laptop and a bunch of DVDs.
We have no internet access in the house but it is easily available in town for free at several cafes so you can check your email in front of an expresso.
The house is located a few miles north of the 'Pueblo Magico' of Todos Santos in the Las Tunas area.
The house sits in front of the beach with views on La Cachora surf break, in a peaceful and contemplative desert landscape.
THINGS TO DO
Sunbath on the terrace and swim in your private pool while looking at the ocean.
Take mile long walks on the vast empty beach located right in front of the house, as you watch whales jump in and out of the sea (January to March).
