Paul & Cate Bishop: Vacation Rental Owner in Sonora
Paul & Cate Bishop

About the owner: We are sailors who bumped into this boating mecca en route to our boat in Mazatlan and fell in love with San Carlos. We have been stunned at the number of friends we have made here, and our ever expanding social life. We love to sail to remote anchorages, hangout and snorkel. Also to ride horses through the arroyos and on the beaches. Paul is an artist and Cate worked in non-profits for many years. It always feels great to arrive in San Carlos, where the cares of the world drop away.
Why the Owner Chose San Carlos: We bought the land in 2003 and built several years later over a 2 year period finishing in 2008. We like the fact that San Carlos is only 250 miles South of the Arizona border and accessible by a 4 lane highway or flight from Phoenix, Arizona to Hermosillo, Mexico. If you drive from Nogales, fill up before you leave plus bring pesos for toll booths.
Toll charges for a regular car: Nogales 56 pesos; Magdalena 30 pesos; Hermosillo 92 pesos; plus the Hermosillo 2 lane road by-pass is 120 pesos. This by-pass exit is from the fast lane about a mile beyond the Hermosillo toll on Highway 15.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa: The Caracol Peninsula is a gated community. The views are world class in a Mediterranean like neighborhood. We enjoy peace and quiet on the Caracol, and often get lulled to sleep with the lapping of the waves on the shore. It is so beautiful here, that any extra sightseeing activity around San Carlos is a bonus. The house offers a birds-eye-view of the yachts going by and beyond to the Sea of Cortez. Across the bay from the house is the majestic Tetakawi Mountain where sunsets can be astounding. We are walking distance to two charming, small sandy beaches and boating activity. There is a nearby Beach Club, with pool and kayaks.
