The tower will help alot, also the new Pinnacate Biosphere tourist center is ready to open. When I started working in Lopez, there was no road, all 4 wheel drive or buggy it would sometimes be 2 or 3 weeks before we saw anybody out there. God was that nice.
I remember Playa Encanto when it was like that......... We took beer, sandwiches and an EZ up and stayed untl sundown........
Melissa,
If I didn't love the Mirador so much and being in town, I would probably buy a lot out there..........

I know what you mean. I feel like I might miss being in town, but then again, there's a lot to be said for tranquility. Who knows, in 15-20 years Playa Lopez may not be that tranquil anymore. My husband and I just don't go out alot anymore. We hardly ever leave the condo. I've been making a list of pros and cons. Pros: My best time to RP is 3 hours and 15 minutes. Playa Lopez is closer - LOL - I could shave another 15-20 minutes off the trip. All my stuff would already be down there. No more loading up at home, unloading at the condo, up the elevator, etc. Then packing it all up again to go home. I like to cook while we're down there and I even bring my comal with me for every trip. To have my own kitchen stocked with my own stuff would be heaven. The towels, water toys, rolling cooler, all of that stuff would already be there. Another pro: the amount I spend on insurance for 4-5 trips a year - it would be cheaper to buy an annual policy. Also, having a place to go that I'm not worried about having to rent out in order to break even, HOA fees, getting ripped off by the management company, etc. I'll change my own light bulb, thank you. We could never afford a condo anyway. I like to rent the condos, the ownership would be a major headache.
Another pro is the small community of people. I like the fact that there's really no rentals, there aren't different people in and out all the time. I hope it would be like neighbors looking out for other neighbors.
The cons: Being so far out, not even 1 vendor on the beach - I like to buy a few little things each time even just to help out the economy and we've made some really good friends who are vendors that we enjoy seeing and chatting with each time we go. Having to make sure we have everything with us so we don't have to go into town for more ice, beer, etc. Worrying about the place while we're gone with repairs, possible theft, although I'm hoping the neighbor thing takes care of the theft issue.
My list of pros is still bigger than cons and will always be, but it is a little scary - the commitment part is scary to me.

Yes, Melissa. I come down and all my things are already here. My pots and pans, my comfy bed with 600 thread count linens. My rum and coke. My Pacifico. Cold in the fridge when I arrive. My decorations.... you know, there are several trailers for sale in the north 40 with me...............

You got anymore pics Bill?
So funny Chari, I was thinking about how cozy I could make my own bed in the house with high thread count linens, plush towels, my own decorations, etc., just like you said. The other thing is if it were my own place I could bring my cat. I hate leaving her at home. Aside from paying a pet-sitter it wasn't too bad when I had 2 cats, but my little old lady died 2 weeks ago right before the last time we were in RP. Now I only have one and I hate leaving her alone by herself. She rides in the car well and she could be with us in the house.
Another plus: no check-out time or asking for a late check-out.
I've been scouring the web for pics of Playa Lopez. Never posted pictures here but I'll see if I'm smart enough to figure it out and post the ones I've found and saved.

Bill/Roberto....you mention the lots have Mexican titles....maybe you could expound on what it takes for us gringos to own.....does it require a bank trust?
Any restrictions on what can or can't be built there (for the lots that don't have houses)?

There ya go, Melissa. We all take care of each other's places in PDO. Like a big happy family....
You would be a welcome addition!

U.S. residents need a bank trust, all of our customers latley have been Mexican's so we haven't been involved in a bank trust since late 2006 0r early 2007, if I remember correctly, the trust itself was actually only about $2500.00 dllrs with some notary fee's on top and recording fee's. Then there is an annual maintenence fee of $425.00 dllrs. I am now hearing $15,000.00 dllrs for a bank trust, but probably $7 to 8 thousand of that is going to the person quoting that figure. I think the actual trust may still be only 2500.00 and with the notary and recording fee's at the most a trust shoud run $8,000.00 dllrs and is for 50 years with a renew option. There is no HOA, we are inside the Alto Golfo Biosphere and the federal govt. has some say over what goes on there, I dont think we will ever see and big constuction out there because of that. The people we have sold to want to start an HOA and asked me to join and I refused, they can do it on they're own, to me all it leads to is problems. We have an appointment with Notary Ortega Monday, I will find out more about the trust cost.
