[Hi, I’m beginning the journey of research and planning to move to Costa Rica. I am semi retired from healthcare and business and am now pursuing my artistic and creative endeavors. I read somewhere to beware of crime and saw a do not travel ...

Rosarito, ensenada, San Felipe or? by Jasmine1955
Which area do you think is best? Couple in our 60's Not athletic, homebodies but still like sightseeing and cultures Biggest goals are easier lifestyle in areas of slower pace, affordable without worrying all the time, much better weather than ...
We're in Baja this week to check it out as a place to spend next winter. I don't think Rosarito will be the answer for us. But we drove to Ensenada today and, depending on the availability and cost of rentals, it might be a real ... Read More
Thinking about moving to Rosarito by Lauralor
Hi all!! I'm new to this :)
Are there safe places to bicycle around Rosarito? They don't necessarily need to be bike trails or bike lanes, but not mixed in with the cars. (There are not in Puerto Vallarta, where we spent the last three winters.) Read More
any SENTRI experts out there? by therichzone
I've got my SENTRI card and I registered my car a month ago. I see confirmation that my car was approved by SENTRI on their website however SENTRI neglected to mail me any kind of paperwork. I'm planning on doing some exploring in northern ...
Ready pass! I'm confused. I understand that the ready lane allows you to get back into the U.S. quicker. And this requires i.d. with an RFID chip. I've read that our passports now contain an RFID chip. But I read that to use the ready lanes ... Read More

Hi everyone. My wife and I are thinking about spending next winter in Rosarito. Were wondering; if you have a tourist visa (FMM), can you go in and out to San Diego on the same one, if it is still within 6 months, or do you need to get a new one ... Read More

The only response to my email queries about rentals in Rosarito next winter said it was too early to start looking. 'Interesting about different places. In Puerto Vallarta, where we spent the last three winters, most people think you need to ... Read More

We will be in Rosarito May 19 - 25, to look for possible places to rent for next winter, December through March. We would want a 2 BR, 2 BA ocean front/ocean view. Most likely a condo, but possibly a house. So far I have RosaritoRealty, BajaBrokers ... Read More

Thanks. Good idea. We may use VRBO or AirBnB for our May trip. Which makes me wonder. Has anyone here ever used AirBnB or VRBO for long term rentals, say for months? Read More

I'm looking ahead to our late May trip to checkout possible condos in Rosarito for next winter. I thought I might be starting too early, but, based on the places available, maybe not. It looks like Ensenada has quite a few more affordable hotel ... Read More
