  The pictures are the real thing. Clean and well equipped. The artistic touches in the condo make this one special and unique. The common areas (pools, gardens, etc) are beautiful. Security is 24 hour - very safe. Computer with internet was a plus - you can leave yours at home. Toll free calling to the US, beach chairs, ice chest, and washer/dryer are wonderful to have. Comfortable beds and nice furniture. We loved the quiet, uncrowded beach. Zippers beachside restaurant only a 5 minute walk down the beach. Mega supermarket is very close and sells everything. San Jose Del Cabo arts section is enchanting, safe, low-key and close. Be sure to eat dinner at Mi Cocina on the square - great setting and great food. We also enjoyed Tequilas and Salsita. Cabo San Lucas is a short drive and made for a fun day-trip. But, you won't need to leave the condo. It is very relaxing and comfortable. Though usually touted as a surfing beach, we swam in the surf with no problem. Donna, the owner, makes it easy with her pre-visit communication and recommendations. She has thought of everything. One (of two) central air conditioning units quit on us but thanks to Donna's instructions and arrangements was fixed within a couple of hours. We will look forward to a return visit soon!

  Owner response: I have now replaced the AC unit with a brand new one, this will not happen again...Donna

  Paradise is a good way to describe this property. We spent the last 4 days of our vacation in this beautiful condo and wished that we would have been there for the first part of our trip. The condo was clean and well appointed and had ALL the extras that you would require and a bit more. The view from the balcony was unbelievable and we loved the early morning sunrises. Staff at the complex went above and beyond in ensuring we were looked after. We left our luggage with the security staff on our arrival day and when we came to check in they brought it all up to our condo for us. Such a nice touch considering we had more luggage than you could imagine travelling with a baby. Donna sent us a 4 page email with great places to eat and things to do while we were there which was a big help. The beds were sooo comfortable especially after the crappy beds we had in our 1st condo in a different property. It is so nice to go to a place where the owners care enough to keep things clean and new. I would highly recommend this property to anyone that wants to relax and enjoy the comforts of home with beautiful views and sounds of waves crashing on the beach. We rented a car and that was the best thing we could have done. Gave us the ability to check out all the sites in and around San Jose and Cabo San Lucas. The beaches are spectacular but swimming was a bit dangerous due to undertows and other issues. Cabo/San Jose is def. not a good place if you want your children to swim in the ocean. Pools were great at Mykonas Condo. Went Marlin fishing and caught 5 marlin, largest one being 190 lbs. Ended up having to keep 2 and released the other three...Very exciting day. We are hoping to go back to Donna's place next year!!!!

  Owner response: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. Thank you for the sand toys too. The surf at the beach is totally unpredicatable, although I have seen it look like bath water it is best not to count on swimming in the ocean especially for small children. There are two highly swimmable beaches not very far away, Chiliano and Santa Maria on the highway between San Lucas and San Jose. They are well marked. When in doubt do not trust the ocean!

  A very nice and roomy 2 bedroom condo with great views. Condo has a great deck, plenty of room to BBQ or just sit and listen to the waves. We had a very nice stay.

  We spent two heavenly weeks in this gorgeous condominium. It is beautifully decorated, filled with artworks and has everything that you could possibly need for a great vacation. This condo is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens with two gorgeous swimming pools. The owner, Donna is exceptionally helpful and easy to communicate with. Every night we had dinner on the expansive balcony that looks over the Sea of Cortez. It is so close to the water that you feel you are part of the ocean. Simply stated, staying here was extraordinary. We never wanted to leave and hope to return. Vera and Michael

  My family and I (2 boys 13 &16) enjoyed 10 wonderful days here in late March,2011. This was our first time trying VRBO. We were not disappointed. The condo has everything you're looking for for accomodation down here in sunny SJDC. Large deck for watching the unobstructed 180 degree ocean view steps to the water. My wife and I were up to watch the beautiful sunrise every morning and saw at least 5-6 whale sitings from the deck. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable king-sized and 2 twin beds(or queen if pushed together), large bath/shower, seperate bathroom for our boys, beach umbrellas and boogie board supplied, BBQ, nice pools and deck chairs down below. A short distance to downtown SJDC, 20 minute drive to Cabo San Lucas, 15-20 drive to the great snorkling beaches of Santa Maria and Chileno Bays. Really everything you could ask for. Thanks Donna for letting us share your little peace of paradise!

  I have been to Cabo several times and my boyfriend's family has been coming for 15 years. I must say that this was the most enjoyable trip yet. Donna's place is beautiful. The complex is very nice with lovely pools and grounds. The beach is free of vendors and is visible from the entire condo. Her decorating choices are extremely tasteful and the kitchen is appointed with all the best. The master bed faces the sunrise over the water - a delight to wake up to each day. The porch overlooking the ocean from all sides is a fabulous place to hang out. We were down with my boyfriend's parents who have a very nice timeshare at Hacienda del Mar, and they choose to spend time where we were. We shared a rental car as they golf quite a bit, but it is not necessary to have one. The coconut shrimp at Hangman's just down the beach, drew us back for another round. We are certainly looking forward to another opportunity to relax at Donna's exceptional condo.

  My family and I stayed at Donna's condo for the week of April 1-8, 2010. The pictures do not do the condo justice as the views from the master bedroom are simply breathtaking. At home now, we miss hearing the waves crashing, the palm trees swaying and looking out the window when we wake up to see the beautiful blue ocean.... The development was favorably quiet from the chaos of Cabo, but my children, ages 13 and 10 were still able to meet some other kids and hang out. We rested by the pool, stocked up on groceries from MEGA and used the BBQ most days for our meals. MEGA has everything you want and more local fare to tryout if you are adventurous. We went to Chileno Bay to snorkel one day which is approx. 15 minutes drive toward Cabo. We saw tons of colorful fish; nice beach where it was safe to swim. I would highly recommend this condo for your holiday if you like the comforts of home but want to enjoy peace and quiet with the most lovely view imaginable.

  Thank you so much Donna! We loved your condo and found it perfect in every way. From laying in bed at night listening to the rolling waves, sitting enjoying coffee on the veranda and taking romantic walks on the beach together, my husband and I had a perfect vacation. We are already planning on going back there as soon as we can find the time. Take care, Jo and Bruce

  Owner response: This is the perfect romantic get away or not..sometimes I just go with my girlfriends and we have a relaxing, refreshing trip. The condo is perfectly located where it is on a quiet beach but close enough to the town of San Jose del Cabo that if you need to go into town ( most people do not want to leave the condo) it is a quick trip. It has been fun meeting new people by sharing my second home! Donna

  The minute you arrive, you realize you are visiting someone's second home and that this is not your typical condo rental. The furnishings and finishes are personalized and very comfortable. Ready access to the high speed laptop was very convenient and the kitchen is outfitted with all you could need. Donna was a delight to work with and was readily available during our stay to answer any questions which came up. Looking forward to visiting again.

  We stayed in this lovely condo for a week in Feb.2010 and really had a marvelous time. The condo is very well appointed with everything you need to make you comfortable and at ease.The decor is lovely and the kitchen well stocked. The view is gorgeous and we had breakfast every morning overlooking the Sea of Cortez . We watched whales frolic and mantas swim all from our balcony.The complex is extremely well maintained and secure. This is a great place to stay! We will be back.
