Absolutely perfect!

Our family stayed here for our Spring Break and it was absolutely perfect. We are a family of four and the condo had more than enough space for us to spread out and relax. The place was exactly as listed (even exceeded expectations). We spent ample time on the balcony relaxing and watching the waves. We had a lovely dinner in the formal dining area. Absolutely no complaints. It was seamless. We hope to be back!

Spectacular place!!

Wow, this gorgeous condo exceeded our expectations. It's beautifully furnished & solidly built, so each of our three couples felt we had great privacy. The artwork and decor are stunning, perfect for this vibe. The amenities provided were amazing - from binoculars sitting out for whale watching from the expansive deck, to ALL the kitchen & comfort things you could need (coolers, coffee makers, Stanley cups to take beverages down to the pool, blender, juicers, some food/seasoning staples, etc...) The wrap around deck is the HIGHLIGHT of the condo - with comfy built in seating, along with outdoor dining, a working grill, chaise lounges, and a whole outside living room couch set up. we lived out there as much as we could! Sunrises and sunset views from here are spectacular! Location was perfect - easy to get Ubers for a quick drive into San Jose but also walkable which was delightful. Mamma Mia restaurant right next door on the beach made it easy for anyone to walk over for a meal or drinks, along with delicious options a little further beach walk the other direction (Pescadito Break had delicious food & drink, plus Zippers). Sardina Cantina on the street side was also great, in easy walking distance. The condo complex is perfect size - friendly and helpful security folks, along with year round condo owners who were friendly and welcoming. Two pools and a hot tub, and plenty of lounges available every day we went down to bask in sun poolside. PERFECT LUX VACATION!

Ocean side, villa

When we arrived, the property manager was not there to meet us. The place hadn’t been clean from the people before we lost a whole day of vacation because they tried cleaning it that night when we were there and then had to come back the next day property was still extremely dirty. Owner tried to blame it on the property manager but property manager showed us their phone and the owner never notified them just a really bad situation.

So relaxing!

We had a great time. The view was absolutely spectacular. The condo was beautiful, clean and well-equipped. Beds were comfortable and easily accommodated our group of 6. The condo and balcony were even larger than I expected. The security and groundskeepers were very friendly and helpful. We didn’t have a single issue our entire trip so I didn’t need to contact the property manager but I got the sense from his welcome email that he was easily accessible. Getting around was simple. We used Ubers to get into downtown which was only 7 mins and a few dollars. I’m already planning our next trip to come back. Thank you!!!

Beautiful beach property

The condo is gorgeous. The beach is expansive and quiet for the most part. The restaurant down the beach does have a band but they quit early. The only issue we had was that the driveway entrance and exit to El Zalate requires a courageous driver!

Beautiful unit, but not a penthouse

This is a beautiful, well furnished condo in a fabulous building and location, however, it is NOT a penthouse. It is located on the third floor of a six story building. The home was spacious and furnished with nice, comfortable furniture and amenities. The views from the patio looking out over the ocean were phenomenal! Loved doing my morning yoga on the patio watching the sunrise over the sea of cortez. The property manager was quick to respond. Everything about this property was lovely except that it is not a penthouse. There was a minor amount of noise from the unit above, but the walls were very solid and we rarely heard our neighbors. We would definitely stay here again. I would've given it 5 stars, but it was disappointing that the listing says penthouse, when it is not. It is a spectacular unit and I highly recommend it.

A truly 5-star experience

This condo is a large indoor andn outdoor living space with unparallelled and unobstructed ocean views, framed dramatically by palm trees. Steps away from pool, sand and surf (direct beach is not swimmable due to high currents), it is only a few miles from stunning beaches like Chilleno, Palmilla and Santa Maria. Condo was laid out for group fun and couple privacy, with 3 large bedrooms (a huge master) and 3 dedicated bathrooms. Well stocked and owner and manager were highly responsive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Beachfront Condo

At first check in we thought to ourselves, "How could it get any better", but then the more we looked and the deeper we dug into the condo we kept saying "OMG this place is amazing" the master suite is Huge with an office and patio. We really enjoyed the big and well thought out kitchen. We did most breakfast and lunches at the condo. The comfortable dining and living room area were perfect in the mornings while the sun was on the patio. The pool and grounds are well kept and tidy. This is not a resort, but a private condo. Things are quiet and chill. The location is perfect for downtown San Jose. There are awesome grocery stores close by. The drive to the Cabo Marina for Sportfishing was about 25 min. Overall we loved this place and would return in a heartbeat. Enjoy

A lovely stay

We booked this condo for a girls trip and it was perfect. We love to cook and took full advantage of the large kitchen that had everything. The large covered patio was used more then the inside; we saw whales everyday and loved having the binoculars to use. The condo complex was quiet and the guards were very nice. Andres, the property manager, was AMAZING! Very communicative and he helped us with having groceries delivered. We would definitely rent here again. Thank you so much!
