More to come!

It's a pretty easy process if you meet all the requirements.

I have rented cars in Mexico many times and have been scammed for hundreds of dollars and always felt like I was getting taken advantage of. All of the US car rental agencies in Mexico have no connection to the US except their name. Currently I don't know of any car rental company in Mexico that operates anything like the companies in the US. I just figure that I am going to pay 10x the quoted price, have to fight about every scratch that was on the car when I got it, and hope it doesn't break down while I'm driving it. That said, at Pufferfish Villas we have several options to rent golf carts at around $50 a day with no extra costs, no extra fees, and no hassle. They can be here when you arrive and picked up after you leave.

Feel free to contact us though Facebook or Instagram and we can setup a meet

We don’t have any social media. We will figure out a way. All we need to be social is a Margarita …..Lol

You can always email us at dooglassandesperanzaadventures@gmail.com but please email early because we don't always check it every day.

Thank you so much!!

In 1977 Cabo was smaller than Loreto is now and today it is like San Diego.

We checked out Baja Haay once but haven't been yet. We only eat out about once a week so it takes us some time to try everything. We've been here two years and there are still lots of restaurants we want to try! 🤣

Sounds good! We usually don't ever eat breakfast unless we have friends visiting that want to go. Have only been out a few times for breakfast in Loreto.

Glad he could help!

We just drove down through there yesterday. Esperanza was commenting how much it had grown up south of SF.

Definitely!

Yes Hawaii has gotten very expensive. Things are also going up here like everywhere else, but they are still lower than many tourist vacation spots. It is nice to have all the vacation activities at our fingertips. We have so much work to do that I often stop and think that it's been weeks since we have even gone down to the beach just 600ft away! Heck sometimes we are working on stuff and don't leave our property for a week or more. 😂😂

@@dooglassandesperanza Actually here where I live in Oregon there is a ton of recreational spots and our fingertips.. I live 10 minutes from beautiful waterfalls, 7 minutes from a lake, 5 minutes to the river. Plus I can leave my weather zone in the shoulder seasons and go to Bend in less than 2 hours or the beach in an hour and a half... But I am here in the yard working my garden and taking care of animals! It's a thing... but invite me to Hawaii and I am onboard!! Or Mexico! :)

I lived in the Portland area for 43 years. Avid mountain climber, backpacker, hiker, snowboarder, and mountain biker.

@@dooglassandesperanza So you know! Natural beauty, but our homeowner's insurance and Property taxes are horrible! Sometimes I think renting would be cheaper ... But at least we still spend most Winter months in Mexico. So I am ok. :)

Big problem with renting is that your costs continue to increase year after year forever. Hard to be on a fixed income with your housing costs rising 5% every year.

Pufferfish Villas is about a 15 minute walk to the center of town where you will find food and groceries. We also have free bikes for our guests and golf carts available to rent.

Thanks

Thank you so much!!

It has hardened to regular epoxy hardness over time so there is no way to scrape it off unfortunately.

Exactly!

I have been planning out the repair in the recent weeks and I came to the same conclusion. Great idea! thanks!

Yes, the lipstick palm that I planted by the pool is still growing and doing well. I also planted another one between the Villas and it is doing well also.

Thank you so much for staying with us!

I would agree except they were an imported Moen US product with English as the primary language on the packaging. Mexico products are getting better all the time. Most new Truper products have Spanish and English on all the packaging and documentation, and usually have everything you need included.

Yes I agree! Things have improved quite a bit in the past few years. I'm actually waiting for three packages to arrive from Mercado Libre to our tiny village. We hit Home Depot in Mexicali once in a while and like the selection and quality far more than in the US.

🤣 Ideally would have had Esperanza to hold a shop vac to get most of the dust, but she was gone shopping.

Hola!

Thanks!

Thanks, will do!

It is on a list of future upgrades. Thanks!

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the kind words

Yes ! I just caught up now, after viewing the entire journey. Fun watch.👍🤠✌️

😂 I don't like anything else at McDonald's but I stand by my review of their fries.

@@dooglassandesperanza Great, that just confirms that your taste isn't great. Bad comparison: junk food with a tourist destination restaurant. So how can you guarantee a good recomendation with those standard...just saying.

Everyone has different tastes. It sounds like yours are different than mine. I don't hold any predisposed opinions against any brand or product just because of the category it is in. I will give anything a chance and give my honest opinion. Thank you for doing the same.

Thanks

Thanks

There are over 160 licensed restaurants in Loreto. Too many to pick. Your best bet would be to look at reviews on Google Maps or check out the Voices of Loreto Facebook page. You should find tons of good reviews there.

Thanks so much!

¡Es bueno saber eso! Gracias

Love to have you

Thanks for the info. We have been using it for several months and monitor the heat. No problems so far. Also the glass top cover when folded up acts as a protector in case of fire. Thanks

@@dooglassandesperanza All good, but I worked for a public gas utility and all gas appliances have installation standards that are in the installation guide. None of those requirements are meant for fabrics, and the fabric on a sofa is much more flamable than say a wooden wall. Sheet rock is generally "fire rated" in terms of an actual barrier, so it is the best, but even piece of plywood between the two cabinets would help. If I was doing it, I would attach one piece of (cut to fit) sheetrock or plywood across the back of the whole set up (including cabinets) and then brace it with three 1 X 2" s horizontally, one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom (on the outside) so it looks intentional, but is very low cost. Also, with no barrier, you run the risk of accidently damaging the gas line, which I presume is propane. Even a small propane leak might go undetected, but cause a fire. It's your house, I'm just telling you because I don't want you to burn down your lovely casita.

Thanks for all of the info. We may make some changes. We already have a gas detector installed along with a CO and smoke+CO detector. When it comes to gas I am very sensitive to the smell that is added to propane. I once had a 500 gallon outdoor tank in Oregon and I called the propane company because I could smell propane next to the tank all the time. The tech came out and could not smell it or detect it with his fancy detector but was able to find a very small leak on a fitting. He did this while smoking a cigarette the entire time and then demonstrated how to use my wet hose as a flamethrower. It was pretty spectacular but I decided not to try it myself. At my last house in SoCal I could often smell gas around the meter. I called the utility out several times and even tried to find the leak myself but was never able to find anything. But there was a leak because for the 5 years I lived there I could smell it much of the time within a couple feet of the meter. Gas company seemed unconcerned. They told me that a massive amount of gas is needed to ignite outdoors so a small leak outdoors is nothing to worry about.

Haha!

Possibly

Never been to el Timo. We will have to try it.

That's what we heard

Yes it is fully open to the public

Good to know!

Thanks

We would love to have you! We are already booked over 50% for the 2024-2025 season. We have barely scratched the surface of things around Loreto. I just heard from a friend that is opening a restaurant that there are 126 licensed restaurants in Loreto.

Pufferfish Villas or our shop/house?

@@dooglassandesperanza shop/ house or both. Thx

Shop ~ $50K , Villas ~ $63K

@@dooglassandesperanza nice 👍🏻 thank you

Thank you!

Thanks for the info!

We have been out to the islands on boats many times. I have owned boats in the past and I decided long ago that it is much better, easier, and cheaper to have a friend with a boat.

Thank you 😋
