This is a five star condo at Estancia .... No doubt about it !!!! Chris is wonderful to deal with and makes sure that you are taken care of from the day that you book with him and throughout your trip. Imagine our surprise to receive a call from him on our arrival day to be sure everything was ok and did we have any questions. The condo is very well appointed and the only thing you will need to bring is your toothbrush, lotion, and a good book !!! We loved having wireless connection, cable tv with all US stations, and the free calling back to the states !!!! The resort is very well taken care of and the staff is very friendly .... I don't think that there are very many places that you can call home but somehow Chris has managed to create one of those special places !!!! Chris we can't thank you enough for everything and we are looking forward to our return trip to Cabo !!!

The photographs simply do not do this propery justice. Perfect decor, more than enough space, great kitchen and the crown jewel ... the large balcony overlooking the pool and Sea of Cortez. Villa La Estancia is an exceptional property .... 5 Star all the way with a professional and even more important very friendly team to make the stay as fantastic as possible. Kris we can not say enough about your attention to detail and how much it means to you that your guests have a great holiday. It does not go unnoticed. Already planning next winter's trip to this amazing villa.

Owner response:Hello Grant and family, Great to hear that everything was so positive. You and your family were the model guests and I enjoyed having you. I will make sure that I pass along the Kudos to the staff at LaEstancia.....Hurry back, My best, Kris

An incredible resort and amazing condo. High-end, with all the mod cons and great views of the pool and Sea Of Cortez. You couldn't ask for a better host in Kris - attentive to your every need. Ran out of gas on the outdoor BBQ - a quick call and the tank was replaced with a fresh one. 1st class service in a first class resort. We will definitely be back - thanks again Kris!

Owner response:Hi Andy, Thanks for the 1st Class review. I do try to do what I can to make it a great vacation for my guests. As for the service, agreed, it's the finest anywhere. I look forward to having you back when you come to Cabo next, until then... Cheers! Kris

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!!! From start to finish we couldn't have asked for anything more. This is our second stay at La Estancia and our first in Kris's unit. He was wonderful to deal with and made sure to check in with us before, during and after our stay. His unit is very lovely, the decor is beautiful and we loved the personal photos. We had everything we needed and then some. We really liked having the morning sun rather then the afternoon.We spent many afternoons on the spacious deck. La Estancia and their staff were wonderful as always. We just love walking to the lobby and having a taxi at our fingertips. Now that is great sevice. We travel quite frequently and I have to say that the staff is the finest I have ever experienced. I like the security of it being gated as well as security at every entrance. Thanks Kris, can't wait to be back next year.

Owner response:Hey Tim and Cyndi, Thanks for the glowing review. I am so glad that you liked the decor as we have worked hard to make it have a home town feel. As for the staff what can I say except they are the best! When you are ready to vacation in Cabo again just let us know and we will do everything that we can to make your stay the best ever. My best regards, Kris

My husband and I stayd here over Labor Day week and I cannot tell you how gorgous the unit is. You can really feel like you are living in luxruy, but still comfortable with all the amentities you can imagine. The deck is huge with an amazing view of the pool and ocean and in general, the grounds are nothing less than perfection. Kris was so nice and responsive and just a true pleasure to work with. I would recommend this to any friend or family member! Not to mention that Cabo is HEAVEN!

Owner response:Hello Denver, Nice to hear those great comments coming from someone who lives in such a beautiful city. Thanks for all of those great photos and we will post them when we roll out the "wall of fame photos" All of you looked great and it certainly seemed like everyone enjoyed the time....Thanks for staying with us...Cheers, Kris

Thanks again Kris We had an absolutely amazing time again, and look forward to many more holidays in your beautiful Villa. You are a great host, and you always make sure everything is perfect. We appreciate your hospitality. Once again, we used many of your dining tips, however, we would also like to add one. We went to the Trailer Park, and we all loved it, from the host, to the Entertainment, and of course the food. Thanks Kris, look forward to our next return.

Owner response:Hello Canada, Great to have you in the house. Thank you so much for the nice review and of course thanks for staying with us for the 2ND time as we LOVE repeat customers. Good tip on the trailer park as that is a local favorite and I will add that to my list! See you next year...Cheers, Kris

Extraordinary Unit in Cabo!!

Stayed in this unit at Villa La Etancia in July 2011. What can I say, the place is fabulous. The owners have furnished the unit superbly, with very upscale furnishings, great flat screen tvs. We had both the units A&B and it comfortably slept 5 of us and can handle even more. The photos are accurate, but it is even better in person. The minute you walk in, you will not want to leave. And the owners are so helpful, and responsive to any need/question you may have. For example, there is a great gas BBQ on the deck. It ran out of propane, and I sent an email to the owner just to let him know, and, in 15 minutes, the hotel staff was there at the door with a fresh tank. The view from the terrace is wonderful, overlooking the pools below and the ocean. The unit is fully equipped with a great kitchen with all cooking utensils, etc. and the deck overlooking the pools is massive. If you are going to Cabo, you will not find a better place at the rates provided. Cabo is a special place, this unit is also very special. I have stayed in many places in Mexico, Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, etc. and his is probably the nicest place I have stayed. You will not be disappointed. I wish I never had to leave.

Owner response:Hi Ken and family. Thanks for the great comments and taking the time to submit a comment. It's folks like you that make renting our place so worth it. Can't wait to have you back in sunny Cabo. Cheers, Kris

My husband, son and I spent 7 wonderful days here at the beginning of June. You know you're somewhere special from the moment you step into the condo. All the conveniences of home but with a fantastic deck and view, a few steps from the pool and ocean. The only challenge we had was where do we to sit to read our books or snooze: the deck, the pool or the beach? The breeze every evening and the sound of the surf every night was so relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped and we had our coffee on the deck every morning. We took a sunset cruise and went snorkeling in Cabo, which is only a 10 minute cab ride away. We'll be back!

Owner response:Hello California! Thank you so much for the glowing review. Living where you do I know that it's hard to measure up so I am so glad that all went well. Let me know when you want to return and I will make sure that the staff and resort are ready and waiting. Thanks again for sharing your vacation time with LaEstancia and myself. Cheers, Kris

Best Vacation EVER!!!

Guest: Mark (Ohio)
Date of Stay: 06/07/11 Review Submitted: 06/14/11

This villa and this place provided the best experiences I could ever hope for for my family and I. This was our best family vacation EVER!!! The condo is a combination of class, comfort and convenience. As soon as we walked through the door the wow factor blew us away. The layout of a kitchen with great appliances was a nice surprise, a laundry room for those who want to pack less and all of the amenities of home made for less hassle and more time to enjoy the amazing view from a spacious and relaxing patio. You can also utilize the local grocery delivery service which was a huge time saver. Grilling in for a few dinners at the condo on the this exquisite patio with the provided barbeque grill was a nice touch and cost saver. Satellite TV and free US phone service and fast wireless internet provides the business trvaeler opportunities to stay connected to your business as needed. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms and closet space are way beyond anything you will seen at other condos. This place is more like a home than a vacation condo. You will also be able to review very useful tips on activities, restaurants and useful local knowledge from the owner. Read his instructions and follow them. This is a value-added plus from an owner who really wants you to EXPERIENCE your vacation. La Estancia has a customer focused staff and everywhere we went at the resort and beyond there was a culture of 'YES'. The property is exceptionally well maintained and the pool, the view and the beach are sure to draw you in. Oh yea, and the weather was perfect every single day with 95 degree days with low humidity and a pleasant ocean breeze and open blue skies. If you want to just sit, read a book, hang out by the pool or the beach this is the place for you. But, if you love phyical activities along with a vibrant Cabo nightlife it is all available to you at La Estancia. Just ask the helpful staff. This rating system only allows me to rate this as a 5. It is better than a 5! This is simply a better place, a better atmosphere and a better vacation spot than we have ever experienced!!!

Owner response:Hello Ohio, I am so glad that all went well with the family vacation. What a sendoff to your graduating twins along with brother Robbie to celebrate. I wish you continued success and hopefully you will decide to come back and see us. My best regards, Kris
