Amazing location and well stocked

We have stayed at a LOT of vacation rentals, and this is by far one of the best! This was like staying at home away from home. The refer was stocked with water and beer and all kinds of condiments and sauces. The spices and cooking supplies were awesome for preparing meals... And then there is the view! Listening to the waves as you drift off to sleep, and waking up to look at the ocean is just so relaxing. In mid April we watched whales swim near by and sting rays jumping at dusk. The pools and hot tub were great. Despite being close to the main highway, you don't hear road noise at all. You can walk the beach and walk a few hundred yards to great restaurants. The beach right out front is not great for swimming due to rip tides, but just 200 yards or so is a great swim and surf beach. There are chairs, boogie boards, and a cooler to use at the beach. Plenty of towels and other supplies. The condo is spacious, clean, and elegant. We has to work and had our computers on the deck, and it didn't feel like work. Easy check in and there is an elevator. Comfortable bed and a great shower with good water pressure. Our host was available via email and quick to respond. This is a wonderful place - you will not be disappointed. Can't wait to come back!

Wake up to crashing waves and spectacular sunrises

What an amazing property! Clean and well-maintained grounds and pools located right on the expansive beach. The condo itself is wonderful - clean, updated, beautiful. Everything you will need to cook, make a drink, barbeque, relax. An Uber to San Jose del Cabo is about $10 Canadian. Several restaurants within walking distance. I loved our stay here and thanks to our gracious hosts for their hospitality and sharing their piece of paradise with these frozen Canadians.

Perfection in Every Way!

Every communication with Helene was a delight! She was extremely informative and helpful. We felt more like family staying vs a VRBO business transaction. Check-in was super smooth. Security was extremely friendly. Parking was easy and occasional Uber was simple to catch. Zippers Bar & Grill is a short walk on the beach or under the roadway for a fresh coconut.

First VRBO Experience in Mexico

This was our first time renting in Mexico, we normally do all inclusive resorts. This was the perfect condo and had everything we needed!. Complex wasn't full so pool area and beach were nice and quiet. Very relaxing and so amazing to wake up to ocean view each morning. Property manager Todd was so helpful and responsive to any request. Would definitely recommend this property!!

30th Wedding Anniversary

In short: amazing! The location of this property could not have been any better. Corner unit with stunning ocean views! We had dinner at the Hilton one night and Helene’s condo was closer to the water than any of those extremely expensive hotel rooms. Not only is this condo very reasonably priced, it also has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. Very peaceful and quiet although a bit of road noise from the pool area. My absolutely favourite part is the large balcony. Loved watching the sun rise and the waves crash while lounging on the pristine white covered balcony. I could have stayed on that balcony all week. Simply perfect! Thank you Helene! We will be back!

A Great Unit in a Great Location!

The unit was everything the pictures and description represented. Spacious, excellent condition, excellent view. Helene and Steve went out of their way to provide local info and address my interests for my trip. As someone who has used VRBO dozens of times I have found that often small issues arise during one's stay. What's important is not whether any issues arise but how they are addressed. For me, there was an issue with losing satellite reception (not owner's fault obviously). When I notified Helene, she was all over it. In fact, possibly beyond the call of duty. The connection was restored promptly with her assistance. Just a great job. On another note, those interested in surf will be happy there is a break a couple hundred yards west (the right). Don't go out though if you aren't experienced and competent, could be on dangerous side.

Amazing Location on the Beach!

Had a amazing stay at Helene's One Bedroom Condo! Her home is beautifully renovated and very comfortable. The large patio is ideal for morning coffee. We didn't cook any meals outside of breakfast however should you want to there kitchen has everything you need. The King size bed is very comfortable. We didn't turn the AC on at all as the breeze from the ocean kept the condo cool. The grounds are immaculate! The outdoor pools are great with comfortable outdoor loungers. My husband used the gym daily which he really enjoyed. We are walkers so walking into town was not a big deal. Approximately a 20 min walk along the beach to the grocery store. We did use Uber a few times which was very reasonable. There are a few restaurants just minutes away though we walked into San Jose Del Cabo almost daily to enjoy different restaurants. Helene sent us many tips and responded to any questions very quickly. We will definitely being going back!

Great restorative visit

We could not have been happier with our recent stay at Heléne's vacation home in Mykonos, San Jose del Cabo. From the first moment to our leaving we had everything we could possibly ask for in a home. The kitchen is super well-stocked, there are recreational supplies for those interested. And the location is top rate. We will definitely return again! Fifty gold stars!

Fabulous!

Property was beautiful! Terrific view of ocean, beach, pools. Clean and many amenities. Great location—quiet but yet close to the road, and quite close to grocery store and restaurants. We felt very safe. Accommodating staff, gate guard, and office made our stay even nicer. Communication with host was terrific. We would definitely rent here again.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property after owning another condo for 14 years down the beach. We are using our condo to recharge our batteries and enjoy the wonderful clean air and sunshine that we get here. This is an easy access from home and a break from babysitting, sailing and gardening. I have been coming by myself for years and feel completely safe here. The Mexican people have always been helpful to me. Now our sons and their family are spending more time here, too. Memories of fishing on pangas, para sailing, playing in the surf and helping baby turtles get to the water reinforce our many good times here.

What makes this property unique

Private quiet locale. Ocean views to the horizon. High speed internet for world wide connection. Easy access from the parking lot and elevator. Ocean breezes and sunshine all day, every day.
