Fodor's Expert Review Villa Boheme

Colorful and breezy, this Spanish-style guesthouse is centrally located, next to the popular Dinghy Dock restaurant–bar. Guest rooms are simple, and all have water views; they share kitchen access, although some units have their own. (Room 10 is the one to snag, with a private sunbathing terrace and full kitchen.) The shady terrace, with several hammocks hanging between palm trees and colorful mosaic-tiled communal tables, is a great place to hang out. In addition to its own mooring dock, there are kayaks and paddleboards that you can rent to explore Ensenada Bay. The guesthouse owner offers on-site water-taxi and charter services to nearby islands.
