How it works
Rent in La Ventana, straight from the people who live here.
Rent La Ventana is a small local marketplace for La Ventana and El Sargento, Baja California Sur. Homes for the season, kite lessons on the sandbar, gear, trucks, and a hand when you need one. No corporate middleman, no stacked service fees.
Local, not corporate
Two villages on one bay, listed by the people who live on it. If something goes wrong you are one message from someone who can walk to the door.
You deal with the owner
Their name, their phone number, their price. Once a booking is confirmed you talk to each other directly instead of through us.
The owner's price is the owner's
You pay by card, once, and the charge is made on the owner's own account, so their price settles with them and never with us. Our service fee rides on top, shown before you pay.
The Rent La Ventana guarantee
Booked it, paid the fee, and it wasn't as promised?
Every owner behind a Verified badge has been checked by us personally: a real person, a real place, a real phone number. We know this town; we know whose gate is whose.
If a verified listing turns out materially different from its page (wrong place, wrong condition, or it doesn't exist), tell us within 24 hours of arrival and we refund anything you paid us for it and help you find somewhere else to stay.
That refund is ours to give and we give it without quibbling. The rent itself is between you and the owner, which is exactly why we push every peso of it straight to them, and why messages, dates and what-was-promised live on your booking page where both of you can see them.
How a booking runs
Find it
Search homes, lessons, gear, cars and services. Prices are what the owner set. Compare the Airbnb price right on the card.
Request it
Pick your dates or slot and ask. Nothing is charged when you ask.
Owner approves
The person who actually owns it says yes, and a Pay button opens up on your booking.
Pay the owner, not us
One card payment on a secure checkout, made on the owner's own account, so their price is theirs. Our service fee is its own line, shown before you pay. The payment is what confirms the booking, and the owner's WhatsApp unlocks the moment it lands.
Stay, then say so
After checkout, leave a review. One review per booking, from someone who verifiably stayed.
