Keywords: Condominium/private ownership
"Villas Baja" is a Spanish style three-story complex with 29 privately owned townhouse style condos. Many colored bougainvilleas drape from the upper floors to cover most of the building. The grounds are exceptionally well kept with many native flowers and trees. The complex is situated on the first green of the Mayan Golf Course and is only minutes to the beautifully uncrowded beach and the Sea of Cortez.
My unit is on the ground floor (no high steps to climb) and is approximately 915 square feet. This unit is at the end of the building and is very private. The patio faces an expanse of trees and lawn. The living room bay-window is framed with bougainvilleas looking over the golf course. A sparkling fountain can be heard near by.
The patio is accessible from both the living room and the large master bedroom where there is a charcoal BBQ and patio furniture. The red Mexican tile adds flavor and authenticity to the surroundings.
The large master bedroom has just been redecorated with hand-made native Mexican furniture and original art work.
The bathroom has a new Mexican tile make-up arm with a hand painted blue and white sink that lends itself to ease and comfort. A glass block tub-shower is large enough for more then one. Showering is almost like a spa experience. A wicker basket holds warm plush royal blue and bright yellow towels.
You will enjoy the newly decorated living/dining room with bright Mexican colors that welcomes you. The walls are decorated with original Mexican artwork from the local artisans of San Jose. A wine rack with hand-blown glassware is waiting for your special wine or margaritas.
The pool area has a beautiful rock inlaid heated swimming pool. A foot bridge bisects the shallow end from the deep end. This is one of the only heated pools in the area. It is kept at a wonderful even temperature. Between the pool areas is a covered palapa that can be used for entertaining. A public BBQ is on an elevated area that overlooks the lush Mayan Golf Course.
Everything is so accessible from this complex, a car is not needed unless you plan an excursion to Cabo San Lucas which is only 18 miles to the South. A Mega Store Complex is a short walk away with groceries, excellent restaurants, phones, Internet Cafe, dress shops and fast food. A bus travels frequently to the historic town of San Jose where there are numerous shops, restaurants and entertainment.
The beach in San Jose is so beautiful. The Sea of Cortez offers some awesome activities. A short walk takes you to "Message on the Beach" and further along, to rental of water toys. Horses for rent parade down the sand, turtles hatch their young and vendors sport their wares. Walking down the beach will offer many wonderful sights and places to eat. My condo has a guest book that gives more information.
Close to "Villas Baja" and down the street is "El Patio" restaurant that will cater your party or serve a delicious meal to your doorstep. A short walk to "El Patio" and an evening in the open-air restaurant will be a rewarding experience with their superb Mexican cuisine.
Fishing is outstanding. In my condo I have outlined places to go and see. In Cabo San Lucas the marlin fishing is world renown. San Jose is in the process of completing a new marina. Many fisherman will entice you to their pangas for a day of tuna fishing. The catches are overwhelming and many have to be returned to the sea, but there is always enough to take home or to saute in the condo's fully equipped kitchen.
Between San Jose Del Cabo and (The Corridor) Cabo San Lucas is a variety of outstanding golf courses. There is also several beaches that boast some of the best snorkeling in the area. The "corridor" has many things to see, such as the Glass Factory, a must. There is bus service, taxi or rental cars nearby.
Of all your travels, this area is a must to see. My condo is beautiful, inexpensive and I would love to have you as my guest. If there is any special occasions, I will be happy to accommodate your needs.
Thank you for viewing this rental.
Sincerely, The Owner

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I am retired and wanted a condo by the Sea. I do not like large complexes with hundreds of people. I knew a friend that bought a unit in San Jose and thought it was a beautiful place. I rented her unit and fell in love with the small Spanish style, three story condo complex. The convenience to the nearby beach, golf course and shopping; made this unit just perfect for me. The people who own are very friendly and I enjoy escaping to the sunshine during the long winters at home.
Why the Owner Chose Villas Baja
The weather in the Baja is perfect. During the season it is between 73 and 83 degrees and the humidity is low. The breezes blow during the early season and the sun shines almost all the time. I think I have only seen half a dozen cloudy days. The people are friendly and welcoming. The restaurants are wonderful and the entertainment is abundant.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
The Sea of Cortez (three blocks away) is spectacular. The sand feels wonderful on your feet and the beach is practically deserted. My property is a bottom floor unit and sits at the end of the building which affords much privacy, yet just around the corner is the warm heated swimming pool and bbq area.

My husband and I had an enjoyable, relaxing stay at Villas Baja- VRBO202998. The description on the VRBO website is accurate and provides good information. Pictures are accurate. The owner provided additional useful information and was available via internet before our stay and after. The condo, complex and grounds are very well maintained, the unit was clean and everything was in good condition. The few people we met were friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 weeks and enjoyed the condo amenities and the area. We frequented the MEGA for groceries including fresh, ready-made guacamole, ceviche, roasted chickens, wine, fresh bread and more. The Starbucks beside the MEGA has great coffee and wifi. Across the street from McDonalds (at Mega) the bookstore Spiderweb provides inexpensive phone calls to Canada and US as well as small internet cafe - English books too! Restaurant Baja Blue is near the Mega and Parc Royal hotel restaurant is just up the street. We walked to the centre of town (30 min) but the bus is frequent and cheap - 7pesos (75 cents) and a taxi 50 pesos ($5). Charming old town. We enjoyed strolling around and people-watching. Many good restaurants in town. We liked La Dolce and Pier 19. Don't miss Thursday night's Art Walk. Rented a car for 4 days and visited Todos Santos (Hotel California of Eagles fame); Cabo San Lucas & took a sunset cruise. Also visited the marina, Puerto Las Cabos and more. We would return for a similar relaxing vacation and would recommend for others seeking the same.

The value here offers a great getaway from the northern cold & snow. A week isn't enough to soak up the great sunshine by the beautiful pool. If you're a golfer, this condo is perfect to enjoy a few rounds at the course here. The condo is cheerful, and comfortable; great patio for morning coffeee, or dinner al fresco! The Mega Mart has anything you need. My luggage was lost, and I could walk across the street & even get a swimsuit. If morning walks are your thing, it's very safe here (lots of people do it).

I have stayed in this condo for a month for several years and have had a wonderful experience. Everything stated was factual and the decor was new, bright and inviting. The pool was heated and the people in residence were very friendly and willing to help when needed. San Jose Del Cabo is a laid back, old world small town. The beach was beautiful with very few people. I recommend this condo unit to adults who like quiet and privacy. Grocery stores and restaurants are within walking distance. The owner was prompt in replying and very willing to provide all that we wanted. Thank you.
