Peaceful Getaway!

Pictures were right on and accurate. My best friend and I stayed for three nights. It was a lovely community of older retired folks and vacation spots. It felt very safe and welcoming and was a great trip! Will for sure come back again!

A Perfect Getaway

We very much enjoyed our 2 weeks at Casa Viva. The size and location of Carly’s condo was perfect for the 2 of us. It is very well equipped and what extras we needed were easily available at the large grocery store just a few minutes away. The condo is nicely decorated with local art and has lots of room to comfortably relax in the living room and cook in the kitchen. The unit does not have a BBQ grill but there are 3 shared grills by the pool which are really easy to use.The bed is really comfy, the shower just great and the towels fluffy.A huge plus is we could drink the filtered water from the tap. What a treat! Plus, Carly left us a 6 pack of cold cerveza! Nice touch on our arrival. There are many tasty restaurants in all price ranges within walking distance of Viva Condominiums. Very easy to grab the local bus or Uber when we ventured further. Carly is very approachable and helpful with anything we asked for or about. We needed some quick assistance with a couple of things when we were there and the condominium owners came to our rescue. What a great group of people! Of course, the most amazing part of our stay was the view! Right on the beach with incredible ocean views. We sat on patio or laid at the pool and soaked up the sun while watching what was going on at the beach and in the water. Just steps to the beach allowed for long walks along the water. It was a wonderful break and I hope we get to visit again.

Lovely First Time at San Jose del Cabo!

We had so much fun staying at Viva complex. Great location, close to groceries and restaurants and only 20 minute walks into town and surf beaches. The only thing that we were disapointed about was the continuous weekday construction directly next to the condos which was not mentioned in the description. There was quite a bit of loud noise throughout the days which disrupted what we had hoped to be a quiet stay at the condos. However, there was plenty to do nearby and we found our bliss at Santa Maria Bay (where we went multiple times to snorkel with beautifully coloured fish!).

Viva Vacation

We stayed a month and knew within a week that we would book again for next year. Our favourite activities were walking the beach both ways, visiting Palmilla beach, shopping downtown, hanging out at the Marina watching the fishing boats come in, fishing for delicious tuna and trying many restaurants. I learned to play Pickleball and loved getting to know all the lovely owners and renters. Mucho Gracias!

Steps to the beach, stunning view!

We loved everything about Carly's condo. Because the view is so impressive looking directly out to the beach and the sea we didn't feel the need to rush off to the beach right away. Enjoying breakfast on the patio you felt like you were directly on the beach. Inside is well equipped + very clean. Carly had everything taken care of you could think of right down to a six pack of cold Cerveza! Loved it so much we booked for next year while we were there. Can't go wrong staying at Viva, best location in Los Cabos!

Beautiful property

Carly’s unit has a lovely view of the ocean. It is located in a beachfront complex which is tastefully landscaped with a heated pool, pickleball court, barbecue area and abundant outdoor shaded seating . Our stay was made more enjoyable by being around many of the senior owners/renters who spend their winters here. They were welcoming, inclusive and the camaraderie made for a unique experience. We will definitely return for a longer stay. The complex is a stone’s throw from two big grocery stores making it ideal for longer stays. Hands down the best accommodation in Zona Hotelera. Thank you Carly and the wonderful folks at Viva for making our holiday memorable 🙏

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Viva! The host was fantastic. She was very welcoming and so helpful. The condo is immaculate and comfortable. We had a great view of the ocean from our patio. The residents were also very friendly. We loved the ease of walking to the grocery store and the availability of many terrific restaurants. I highly recommend Casa Viva and hope to return again someday soon.

Honest review

Good location for accessibility to San Jose del Cabo, dinners etc. Handy for stocking up on groceries at the local store. Other residents (pickleball players) are very friendly. There were some problems I encountered that were not resolved. The front gate code to the resort only occasionally worked on the gate, but generally didn’t, even the security and caretaker could not help. So my entrance was generally through the car entrance, which Is difficult if you are carrying a load of groceries. There were 3 remote controls loaded with buttons and no instructions on how to start the tv. For a single person staying here it would be nice to have background sports or news. Despite the owner replying right away and explaining the basics, I was unable to get the system going. I was told the satellite was temporarily down, but it never corrected itself for the entire week, and I do know other units had tv. Lastly, it should be clear to prospective renters that there is no swimming in the ocean, and walking/running on the beach is very difficult due to the steep sloping to the water and sand that is so fluffy it’s hard to walk. But it is a beautiful beach to sit and watch the waves. Very peaceful. Overall, a good place to stay just to relax and good access to the old town.

Hard to find if you’re driving. Hard to get in the locked gate especially in the dark. A/C in living room works great but cold air doesn’t reach the bedroom. No place to set things down or open up a suitcase. Sofa old and saggy, could use new mattress too.

Incredible location

Our overall experience was good. The condo is in an incredible location, its an easy walk to grocery stores, shops, restaurants. The walk to the beach even shorter, about 50 ft to the gate to one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico. Just a few steps from the condo door is a lovely heated pool. (Always kept at the perfect temperature.) The place was not very busy so most days we practically had the pool to ourselves. The condo is small, but we really didn't spend too much time inside. The bed is small, so if you are two small people you will fit. My partner is 6'4", so there was no way for him to fit on the bed at any angle. (Anyone 6' or over will be longer than the bed.) The Kitchen is incredibly equipped with everything you would need. We experienced a couple of minor inconveniences, the toilet seat broke off and the toaster stopped working. However we could not believe how quickly the owner and local property manager responded and resolved both issues. A new toaster arrived within 30 minutes of being reported and the toilet seat was replaced on the same day it was reported. Now for the few negative items. There is construction going on next door and the noise is constant including hammering, banging and loud yelling/talking of the construction crews. The work goes on until late at night and weekends. The Condo was not very clean on arrival and we spent a half day cleaning, but it wasn't enough to ruin the trip and we would stay here again, highly reccomend!

This was my first time staying in this unit and will be booking again. The location is fantastic, close to the grocery store and a variety of restaurants, all within walking distance. Approx 30min walk into San Jose. The unit was clean, comfortable and a well equipped kitchen. Carly provided all the details needed prior to check in, which was seemless and was able to accomodate an early check in for us. Can't wait to return! NI

It’s our 4th time at a Viva Condo. The property is well maintained and the neighbors are friendly. It’s a great spot to unwind by the pool, on the beach or in nearby destinations in San Jose or San Lucas. Highly recommend this unit as it was well appointed and second building from the beach. Viva!
