Circa del Mar
Comments from past guests at Circa del Mar #145 Los Pelicanos Este, in Las Gaviotas.


This place is absolutely exceptional, quiet and beautiful. Las Gaviotas is a very clean and safe community to bring your family and friends. From the moment we arrived to the check in guard station I got a good feeling of this place. The guards and the people at Las Gaviotas were very friendly. The views were breath taking, the roads are coble-stone which was very nice and the gardens were kept up. It had a pool, however the Jacuzzi was under construction, a gym and nice play area for my 1.5 year old. We were able to walk during the morning to watch the sun come out, it was very nice. Walking distance from a private beach. The rooms were very large (two master on the top floor) Had a garage for one car and plenty of parking space for two additional cars. The living room was spacious for our family of 10, has two t.v's and two fireplaces. The outside patio is small, but they have a nice garden right in front of the house. Big windows in the living room with amazing views of the ocean. It is a 10 minute drive from main Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo. The owners were also amazing in facilitating our stay in short noticed, very friendly and responded timely to our requests. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends and we look forward to renting this place everytime we visit Rosarito. Thanks.

A group of friends and I came down to Las Gaviotas for MLK weekend. This house was incredible, with a huge master bedroom, cozy fireplace and amazing ocean view from the patio. Las Gaviotas is by far the nicest and safest community in the area. All of my friends raved about how nice the house was, and we cannot wait for our next trip.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay at Las Gaviotas was. The house was absolutely perfect--exactly as described. The owner was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt to respond to my emails and answer any questions. If you've never stayed at Las Gaviotas, it is a splendid property. Perfectly situated in a gated community near the small town of Puerto Nuevo. During our 3 day stay, we went to Puerto Nuevo every day for delicious, cheap lobster. We anticipate we will return to this property in the near future. Many thanks to the wonderful owners for listing this property.

We had a family gathering between Christmas and New Years 9 people 3 couples and 3 singles so everyone had their own room couldn't have been more perfect went to Puerto Nuevo three times for lobster otherwise cooked in the VERY NICE kitchen the security staff at Las Gaviotas were VERY professional and gracious always on patrol and always with a smile and 'ola... the vendors at Puerto Nuevo were charming ... they so want to encourage Americans to come for a visit... the rumors of violence there are not true and have really hurt them economically GO to Baja You'll have fun and you'll be treated like royalty.

We had a great time last week in Las Gaviotas. The house itself was more than accommodating for the 8 people we had there. Great ocean view! Cupboards full of clean dishes, beds were comfortable and the walk to the ocean/jacuzzi was about 3 minutes! We definitely plan to rent this house again!

Let me start with my first conversation with the owner. He was sincere in trying to make our stay a wonderful enjoyable one. He was flexible enough to provide the option of multiple locations allowing us to chose the place that suited my family. He recommended this location because it would be more suited for my son and it did fit us. My son loved the open floor plan, running, hiding, and plenty of places to play with his trucks/cars. The kitchen was fully stocked and made it easy to whip up meals throughout the week (also used the grill twice). The central location of the house in the resort made it easy for us to hit the playground or stroll to the pool. The staff at Las Gaviotas was always cordial and made us feel safe. Other guests at the resort were very nice and always spoke as we strolled through the streets. The resort beach is small but Rosarito is very close and you can walk for miles on that beach. The owners tips on shopping/dining/etc was very helpful. We know the area but still referenced their recommendations (great restaurants - in Puerto Nuevo and in Rosarito). We also took a drive down to Ensenada (have friends there). This town has wonderful restaurants and neat shopping. This rental experience was perfect and this property provided a home to relax in. Thank you to the owners for making our vacation unforgettable and easy. We will definitely return in the future.

Rob thank you for having us at your warm and cozy home we look forward on going back.. PS Dont be scared on traveling to Mexico, Las Gaviotas is a safe and secured area..
Lorena, Corona, CA

A group of 11 of my friends and I spent a weekend in Gaviotas at Circa del Mar and had an amazing time. The location of the property is super close the the beach, the pool, and all of the other amenities Gaviotas has to offer. It has a great view of the ocean and worked great for our purposes. I'd definitely recommend Circa del Mar to anyone with a large group.

Pure Rest and Relaxation for 12 adults. We rented the Bayer's house for my wife's birthday weekend. Invited 6 adult couples to join and we all enjoyed a perfect weekend. Our group made a trip into Puerto Nuevo for a fabulous lobster dinner on Saturday night and found ourselves sitting on a patio overlooking the ocean while enjoying a fantastic spread of seafood with all the fixings. The margaritas and Dos Equis lagers were flowing to say the least! The house is perfectly set up to make all guests comfortable. I will eventually organize a trip with our kids and other families as the house would be perfect to accommodate three families of four. Thank you Rob and Virginia for being such amazing hosts!
Cesar, Whittier, CA

I rented this home for my birthday weekend. It was just perfect for my group. The house had everything and then some! The view was great, the pool was perfect, the jacuzzi was MY SPOT, the neighbors were friendly, and have no issues or complaints. We took walks up and down the beach and the views were awesome. I have recommended everyone I know to Las Gaviotas and particularly this beautiful home. Thank you Bayers, you have a wonderful home away from home.
FlorVenenosa, Moreno Valley, CA

This house was fabulous! We took a friends trip with a group of 9 and had a wonderful time. The house is plenty roomy and I loved that the kitchen was so open to the living area. The Bayers make their place very affordable...especially with a free night at the end of it. Even though the house isn't right on the water, you still have a beautiful, elevated view of the water. We would watch the surfers while we sat at the table for breakfast each morning :) The other people in the community were very friendly the whole time we were there. I would definitely recommend staying here. We're already planning when can get back there!
Brooke, Long Beach, CA

I recently stayed in the above property. It was an amazing and fun filled experience and I would highly recommend to all. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a beautiful garden. As we entered the house, we were impressed by how clean and maintained the house was. It was very spacious and the views from the house were impressive. We loved the large dining table and the built in bar. The downstairs bedrooms were great for the kids. The photos and description of the house were spot on which was great. I have stayed in Las Gaviotas before and this house was a dream. Everything was very close by, Puerto Nuevo, shopping, eating and we even went wine tasting and "La Bufadora" outside of Ensenada. We also enjoyed the fresh fish that was caught in the morning by local fisherman. The pool was great for the kids and very close to the house. Lastly, I would like to add how wonderful the owners are and what great communication they have. They were a pleasure to deal with. We can't wait to return in the very near future!
Young Family of 3, Topanga, CA

A few friends and I took a last minute trip to Las Gaviotas... and to say the least it was stressful getting all the details ironed out with 8 guys going. But thanks to Rob and his family, there house and his family made life much easier. They are very easy to rent from and make it as stress free as possible. The PRICE IS GREAT for all that you get! And once you get down there you'll understand what I mean. The view is amazing, all the showers had hot water, there is enough room for everyone and it is very clean. It’s a great choice for either a all guys surf trip or a get away with the family.... I know we will be back for sure!
Surfers Dream House, Orange County CA

My Boyfriend and I hosted a Couples Getaway with some of our friends and this house was perfect. Every couple had their own room, great privacy. By day the ladies loved the amenities of the property while the boys surfed. By night, we loved using the big kitchen for cooking our dinners. Do NOT hesitate renting this house, it is a beautiful home!
blackbeltz, San Diego, CA

We found Circa Del Mar to be just as great as the description on the web site. We had plenty of room for sleeping & gathering in the front room. The pictures accurately depicted all the rooms & the fire place was a plus. Everything was clean & well maintained. The owner gave us lots of information about Las gaviotas & surrounding area. I look forward to brining my family with me on the next trip to Las Gaviotas, as this was a surf trip with friends. It was great being able to get in the jaccuzzi after a long day of surfing and enjoy the BBQ with friends. We are all looking forward to brining our families next time. Thank you for a great stay
Danimal, Capo Beach, CA

My family and I recently stay at the Bayers vacation home and we were not disappointed. For someone who hasn't been to baja this place is perfect because the Bayers go step by step on everything from how to get there to where to visit once your there. The home itself is gorgeous and the surroundings are beautiful. The best part was that there is so much to do just at "las gaviotas",that our family saved alot of money by staying at the pool or going down to the beach. We go down every year and we have never felt more at home, mostly because of the welcoming staff who do a great job. The biggest part for me is that my family safe at this secured gated community. So if you’re looking for a few day of relaxing under the sun or going to sleep hearing relaxing ocean waves, this is the place!
gusEsco, Santa Rosa, CA

What a wonderful experience! We rented both of their houses (16 & 145) for my birthday weekend. We had a large group consisting of couples and single people. Rob was nice, insightful and helpful through the entire process.
This house was beautiful with its view and huge fireplace in the living room. It had such a warm feeling to it as soon as you walk in. There were plenty of rooms and all the things you need were already there. It was nice for peace of mind to be in a secured and safe community too. We fully enjoyed the cute little community area. The pool, jacuzzi and shuffle board area was awesome. We even spent time at their private beach too. There is a restaurant right across from the gated community that had good food and entertainment. I will definitely come back and often.

This house is AMAZING! Whether you are looking for a fun and relaxing family getaway, or an adults only trip... this is the place. I stayed at the property from July 24-July 27th for a bachelorette weekend with 8 other women. The weekend couldn't have been more perfect. The Bayers are great hosts. They not only provided us with a beautiful house for the weekend, but also made sure that we had all of the information we needed to get down to Las Gaviotas safely. Any initial concerns we had with traveling from San Diego down to the house were eliminated instantly. The property is very safe and we didn't feel uncomfortable once. We can't wait for our next trip to Circa Del Mar!!
Danika R, San Diego, CA

This home was amazing! The Bayers do a fantastic job of making this a home away from home. It has everything you need for a great stay! Very clean and comfortable, I recommend staying here to anyone who wants a beautiful home to relax and enjoy!
Melissa, San Diego CA

m. sayed Huntington Beach.

We had a great time, my wife and I with five kids ages 3-19. Never a dull moment, surfing, swimming pool, tennis. The house was cozy for all. Take the dirt road on the south side of Fox Studios around 8am and buy some fish straight of the boat. Very good!!
Daniel G, San Clemente, CA

Really cannot say enough good things about my experience from the first time I contact the Bayers until the day we left the house. The community was extremely safe and well maintained. The property is very nice and well taken care of. I would recommend any of my friends and family looking to stay in the area to the Bayers right away and know they would be taken care of.
Steve, Newport Beach, CA

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE BAYERS OF CIRCA DEL MAR HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL HOSTS AND PROVIDED EASE IN RENTING OF THEIR BEAUTIFUL HOME IN LAS GAVIOTAS.WE'VE BEEN TRAVELING TO LAS G. FOR YEARS NOW , AND THIS STAY WAS ONE OF THE BEST.THE HYPE REGARDING THE UNSAFE COUNTRY OF BAJA MEXICO IS TRULY FALSE , NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE FIFTEEN + YEARS WE'VE VACATIONED THERE. THE CARTELS OF BAJA ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE GANG AFFILIATION IN THE US AND THE PRESENCE OF AUTHORITIES HAS BEEN EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE U.S'S BEHALF, AS THE MEDIA HERE HAS INFLATED THE CONCERN. BAJA IS SAFE AND THE BAYERS ARE GREAT HOSTS, ENJOY THE BEACH AND CIRCA DEL MAR. WE DID!
Randy L, Murrieta, California

AMAZING! The house is in the perfect location, close to the pool, tennis courts, and beach. We had the best time at this house. It was a great place to relax, and for my family and my boyfriend's family to get to know each other,cook together, and to just enjoy each other's company. The house was so comfortable and inviting... it was a trip none of us will ever forget. I highly recommend staying here...you won't regret it.
Rachel, San Clemente

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with renting this amazing home. The Bayers were very organized and professional throughout the whole process. The house is beautiful and very accommodating for anyone renting. It contains everything you need, along with its great location and affordable price. I highly recommend this rental.
