Las Gaviotas is a gated community with 24 hour security located between Rosarito Beach and Ensenada. It is not a hotel, but a collection of individually owned homes with their own unique character, but also conform to an overall theme. Each row of homes is stepped up so everyone has unfettered ocean views. There is a beach, an Olympic sized pool, jacuzzi, shuffleboard and a tennis court available. You can stock up and stay here without ever leaving during you stay. There is even a fish guy that comes in every Saturday selling fresh fish such as shrimp, halibut, sea bass and yellow tail. He was sells cerviche and oysters. During the summer there is a taco stand and Bloody Mary bar at the pool. The break in front of Las Gaviotas is well known. There is always a large contingent of surfers staying at any given time. The complex is fully staffed and they do an excellent job keeping the place clean and manicured. All the homes have full service utilities and most have wifi. To book a house, just go to VRBO and Airbnb.

We've own a home in here for over 34 years and it's just as remarkable as always. Friends come down and rent other homes and makes for a fun sun filled safe place to relax and just appreciate life. Highly recommend to anyone from the states wanting a safe fully staffed gated 24 hours a day community.

The best place to chill and make friends. We always have a good time!!!! The new side walk is just amazing. Security 24 hrs and they are very nice and helpful. The spa, gym, shuffle board, pool and the beach is just the perfect combination for the best weekend in your life!!! Two tents offering tacos, sea food and drinks make so easy to enjoy your self and don't worry about nothing just if your cup is getting empty:) Sleep hearing the ocean is always a good idea the views are breathtaking. I hope we come back soon

Looking for a beach home to rent? WANT TO AVOID THE HIGH BOOKING FEES OF AIRBNB AND VRBO? Our family has been coming to Las Gaviotas for 3 decades. There are 300 homes in the complex and over 100 of them rent for short times like weekends. Contact an owner through Baja California Las Gaviotas on TripAdvisor. Click "Vacation Rentals" on the header for listings of available homes. You can rent a complete house for lower than just a hotel room in Rosarito Beach especially when your group is 4 or more. The facilities for everyone are: a large community pool, Jacuzzi, tennis court, shuffleboard court, children's playground, beach volleyball, two private beaches and a beautiful malecon (ocean walkway). Private gated entrance and 24 hour walking security patrols are provided along with a complete system of security cameras which are monitored from the security office. This is a very safe and quiet community. We recommend homes that include the taxes, cleaning fees, parking fees and resort fees in their rates to get a correct comparison of the costs.

THEE PLACE!

This might be the best place of its kind. It's a place to relax, take in the natural beauty and the sounds of the ocean. Staying there was very relaxing.,especially getting away the everyday noises of the city. I also swam in the pool and took in some sun. fished, Ate some of the poolside made fish &Shrimp tacos,Walked along the beach and took some nice strolls. Staying at CASA De Nola was a great experience and hope to do it again.

The sunset on the deck was gorgeous.

See all

This gated community is beautiful and can't be topped in surrounding areas. Private beach really tops off the experience.

Even the restaurant was pretty good (although going down to puerto nuevo street is objectively better) But I just couldn't fly with the fact there was a giant hole behind our TV that let into the adjacent room, I thought I was going crazy or the tv was malfunctioning but it turns it it was just the tv noise from the room next door. I stuffed the hole with a hand towel and slept with my airpods in but that was just inexcusable. Definitely hope to have better luck in the future, would be happy to try again. And yes this place is 1000% FAMILY friendly so if you dont like kiddos at play, stay away.

It made it hard to use the stroller for my baby, we had to walk around the whole hotel to get to our room which was a huge inconvenience. The room wasn't the cleanest. Floors needed to be cleaned and the furniture was old and needing to be replaced. Family friendly hotel for sure. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We didn't make it out to the restaurant since we tried other local spots nearby but based off the reviews, I might have to try it next time. You can't access the beach from here, which I thought you could have. But overall, it's an ok hotel. A little outdated but we had no problems at all.

We've even decided to make this our homebase whenever we travel to Tijuana, Rosarito beach, or Ensenada and nixed the idea of buying a property here. There are six suites that are made from re-purposed storage containers. Trey and his girlfriend have done a fantastic job of making each one unique and their decorations. The have floor to ceiling windows, giving you a spectacular view of K 38, the most popular surf beach in the area. The beds are super comfy, the linens are soft and luxurious, the pillows are perfect and the towels are super soft. The walk-in shower has ample room for two and has one of those rainfall showerheads. There is a couch, small fridge, air conditioning, and a projector TV system. The deck has two granite couches and a sun bed for two. The bathroom even has a large plate glass window with plenty of privacy. Alma and Carlos and their staff are amazing! Very friendly and accommodating, Always asking if there's anything we need. It has a great room on the top floor that has a fully stocked kitchen where are you are welcome to cook your meals. and a substantial bar which is on the honor system. They even have a large German shepherd mix named Pablo, who greets everyone. He developed a crush on Muffy, our 3 1/2 pound two year-old teacup Pomeranian. needless to say, I am a huge fan of Native Residence. Check it out! You'll be glad you did!

The beds were comfortable. Not too hard. I love a firm yet not "European" firm mattress. There was a safe and a gas fireplace too. We were quite pleased with everything. We flew into San Diego then took an Uber to the border. Walked across the border, then took a taxi to the condo. We tried to get an uber but there must have been a cellphone reducer in the area. We had great service as we crossed the border but when we were at the corner with all the taxis, we couldn't get service. After haggling, we paid $30. (Uber was $20 but no biggie.) We didn't order a return pickup as suggested on the review sites since we didn't get an Uber. It wasn't necessary as there were cabs EVERYWHERE in Rosarita. And we could call for an Uber which was cheaper. We found out later that Ubers are banned in Rosarita but they are still there if you call. Either way, get a price before you get in. It is only a mile to town so we walked mostly but a taxi was only a couple dollars. They took USD as well as pesos. We didn't need to exchange much but you need small bills. No one can give you change in USD. The office exchanged some for us just so we were more comfortable, but we really didn't use much. If you did the math, you could save a few cents here and there if you use pesos vs USD at restaurants, etc. But if you use your visa, accepted in many places, make sure you tell them to use pesos (do not convert to US) otherwise you will end up paying more. Also use a card that doesn't charge you international exchange fees. There's a grocery store across the street next to the gas station that had pretty much everything we needed to eat at home for breakfasts and lunch plus beer, wine and coffee. The driveway is actually an offramp from the highway and heavily used to get onto the Free Road, so watch how and where you cross the road. Our concierge gave us a name of a taxi driver who took us to the wine route in Valle de Guadalupe. Jorge Diaz cell: 661 138 03312. He was awesome and reasonably priced. We chose the wineries but he normally chooses them if you don't have a preference. (Some wineries will not take you without reservations and some are closed on different days, so do your research and emails or call in advance if you want to choose your wineries.) I love to research, so I picked our breakfast place as well as the wineries and did the timing and directions. I just handed him a map with it marked off. That is important as you can loose GPS out there. The town is full of awesome taco places. Best Meat Taco: Tacos El Yaqui - Calle Mar del Norte, Rosarito, Mexico 50 Pesos for each Taco. Tacos Perrones come standard with beef, pinto beans, salsa), onions, cilantro and guac. But you can customized by asking to add or leave something such as peppers, radishes, etc. Long lines but AMAZING!!! Get a beer at the Mercado on the corner and meet the people you are in line with. We met a nice man the first time we went who gave us a bunch of tips about Rosarito. Best Fish tacos: El Taco Loco - Boulevard B. Juárez 97 Col. Rancho Chula Vista 22710 Rosarito We had the octopus tacos, the fish, and the spicy shrimp tacos. All amazing.!!! The salsas were hot and yummy too! Go to Mercado Del Mar to do a Tequila tasting. We learned so much about the differences between tequila styles. I had no idea. Located on the Free Road at Kilometer 29.5, look for the bicycle mounted on the highway divider. Almost directly across is the Mercado del Mar. Head into the market and then go to your left. Once inside, you'll find another large room with a massive selection of Baja California wines, different liquors, and 350(?) types of tequila. there are over 1,000 different types of liquor in the store. We took an uber there (a few kilometers south from the condo) on our way to Puerto Nuevo (Lobster Village) for cheap YUMMY lobster and delicious margaritas. That was another amazing experience. We chose El Guero from local suggestions. WOW. But first we looked at ocean view options. We ended up going to a place with delicious margaritas on the deck by ourselves... Well, there were gaviotas... We ordered a pitcher as the waiter told us it was the same price as two margaritas but my husband got an extra. It was a bit up, maybe midtown? I tried to find it but with covid... Maybe it is gone? My check in is gone as well or maybe it was the margarita... Cerveceria Tinta Negra was our go to place to try new Mexican beers. I love IPAs and many are doing an awesome job with them. We went to town via the beach (stairways use your card) and via the street. If you go via the beach know that you will have to wade through one stream of water. One day it wasn't bad, another it was pretty intense. Take off your shoes and bring a towel, lol.

Positives: the place is nice and clean…read more negatives: security was crazy rude. I went there with my sister and 9 year old niece. We didn't realize that she couldnt go in the jacuzzi. She was there like 3 minutes. Security shows up and says she cant be in there.. we are like no prob wont happen again. He stays there next to us just staring. After a few minutes we are like, is there anything else? yes, you have to wait for the security manager to come and give you a written warning and if it happens again you will be fined. Like what?! he stands there 10 minutes waiting for manager.. it was so uncomfortable all the guests were staring at us it was embarrassing but funny you wouldve thought we smuggled in cocaine..see pictures.. it was so weird.. There is security everywhere i guess that's good but they were writing citiations constantly i guess thats how they make money on the side!

The great part about the location is the view! is right in front of the beach and has private access to it. Along with a pool and jacuzzi. The property itself was okay looking. I was not very impressed but the decor definitely made one feel in vacation. There is security 24/7 too. On the down side, the place was too cold and they only provided 2 heaters, one of which was propane It was not ideal to fall asleep to it and in the mornings it was not enough to keep us warm in the living room. So only one room (the one with the electric heater) was nice and somewhat cozy. At some point it was warmer outside the house than inside of it. That may be good for summer but it was the worst for winter. Also the lock for the place did not work, so we had to leave it unlock when we left. Keep that in mind. Also there was a party somewhere near by that did not stop until 4:40ish am. We were exhausted the next day so it was not the best experience and we wont be back. The staff was friendly and welcoming though. I give them that much.

The owner does nothing to resolve situations then lies to VRBO about the issues. This place looks good in pictures, but is in very bad shape. Owner is a retired white lawyer who bought this place to retire, but does nothing to maintain it but occasional sweeping and not much more. Pool murky, jacuzzi cold, no water at times. This is an absolute dive.
