Our Journey to Loreto
(El Viaje a Loreto)
Rick and I first discovered Loreto in 2006 through a marketing campaign for Loreto Bay, a new town home community then in development. Although we were intrigued, life was too busy at the time to take a vacation and truly explore this charming town in Baja California Sur. We tucked it away in the back of our minds.
It wasn’t until 2015, while planning a getaway to Baja, that Loreto resurfaced on our radar. Wanting something quieter and more authentic than Cabo, we chose Loreto—and the moment we arrived, we were captivated. After two weeks of exploring the town and its surroundings, we knew this was more than a vacation spot for us. We made an offer on a property just north of town, and a few months later, our adventure in Loreto officially began.
As our home was being built, we spent extended periods here, forging friendships with both locals and expats. Each trip revealed new layers of Loreto—the vibrant culture, welcoming community, and endless opportunities for adventure. Fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, biking, off-road excursions, art, festivals, and the whale museum, all of it added to the magic of this pueblo.
The longer we stayed, the harder it became to leave. Although the Bay Area had been good to us—I enjoyed over 37 years in real estate and Rick spent more than 40 years in the commercial flooring industry, including running our own company for over a decade—Loreto kept calling us back. In time, we invested in additional properties: a commercial-residential mixed-use building in Historic Loreto and a townhome in Loreto Bay, the very community that first caught our attention back in 2006.
What began as a vacation destination has now become home. Today, our oceanfront property also serves as a venue for private events and weddings, a place where others can celebrate milestones against Loreto’s stunning natural backdrop.
Life is good in Loreto. We invite you to come experience it for yourself—you never know, like us, where your own beautiful new dream might begin.
We look forward to helping you with all your Loreto destination needs!
