WILLIAM'S PLACE AT SCORPION BAY
About Us
Claire, Jacques, and William
Claire and Jacques, who appear in the above photo, were the ones who brought me to this region. It was wonderful to see them as young puppies running free along the beaches of southern Baja, and it was fun for me to surf at its various point breaks.
Early on, we decided that we liked San Juanico the most of any place in southern Baja, and we kept returning here to enjoy its beauty, pleasures, and tranquility. After several visits, we moved here in late 2014, and I began to work remotely from here as often as possible, which has been most of the time.
After arriving, the three of us became regular explorers of the beach that runs east of town, often taking hikes of 4-5 miles. We have slowed down a little over the years, but we still take long walks on that magical beach when they want to go, and I still surf at nearby spots and windsurf in the San Juanico Bay when I can. Since moving here, I have learned all about farm-to-market practices and believe that I now eat better at home than I have ever done anywhere else.
I cannot emphasize enough how the tranquility here has made all the difference: it is in the air, and it seeps into your bones if you stay long enough. All in all, it has been a wonderful time for us. I only wish that it could last forever.

OUr Team
Our home is separated from the guest units by a very tall concrete wall, which affords our guests privacy, but one or more of us is usually nearby to provide help or information as requested.
Our operations are supported by the best team anyone might wish to have: Yesica, Brissia, and Martina take turns cooking, serving customers, cleaning, and managing everything with great skill. They know just about everyone in town and all about this region. Teo and Zefi are in charge of the garden (pictured above) and grow the best produce that we have ever tasted. William's longtime assistants in San Diego, Laura and Ana, procure supplies in San Diego and manage cross-border logistics. We work together as a team to provide our guests with everything that they need. Somos el equipo que puede!
