Map & Owner's Profile
Custom 6 Bedroom Villa in Punta Ballena, Home of Esperanza
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Punta Ballena
In January of 1994, we vacationed in Cabo for the first time and stayed at the Melia. When we left Virginia that January, the temperature was 5 degrees. Needless to say, we needed some warm weather. When we arrived in Cabo, the temperature was 82 degrees and was perfect during the week of our stay. We were so impressed with the friendly people, food, weather, and golf courses that we purchased a time share where we locked-in week one (first week January) every year. Every January from 1994 through 2006, we vacationed in Cabo without missing a single year. After loads of research and visits to various communities, we purchased the perfect lot within the Punta Ballena development to build our dream villa and future retirement home. Our back-yard (pool deck, three bedrooms and living room) faces directly South into the Sea of Cortez and has a complete unobstructed ocean view. Mr. Tom Lehman is our favorite guy in the world because he owns the beachfront lot between our villa and the ocean. Currently, we enjoy our spectacular view due to Tom not building his dream home. Additionally, Punta Ballena offered state of the art infrastructure, security, fantastic amenities and close proximity to the town of Cabo...yet, far enough away. With Cabo Del Sol Golf Course one exit down. This championship layout is praised by Nicklaus himself for having the “three finest finishing holes in all of golf.” The 5th and signature 17th holes are currently ranked among “The 500 Best Holes in the World” according to Golf Magazine. Additionally, Cabo offered close proximity to the United States and we believe that when our children are grown with our grandchildren, they will want to visit us in Cabo because of our weather, location, safety and 5 additional bedrooms. We are looking forward to those days. Now that we have the villa, we enjoy Cabo several times each year. In 2008, we had 8 trips...we just love the place.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our unique benefits are identical to those who rent our villa. We encourage our management company to treat us like they treat our guests, not as owners. From shopping service to daily maid service to dinner and golf reservations, our concierge Francisco takes care of our needs while we are staying at our villa. We simply email Francisco with our request and since he caries a Blackberry, he responds within 5 minutes. Just fantastic! Unique benefits to our community are wonderful. Punta Ballana is the community where the Esperanza Resort (an Alberge Resort) is located where we enjoy and have access to their SPA and dining facilities. If you pay attention, you might just run into Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox Arquette, Matt Perry, Barry Bonds, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Agassi, Scott Spiezio just to name those who have been on-site in the past year. Our community also has two tennis courts and a 2 mile nature walking path that is groomed daily.
This is our Punta Ballena, Members Only Beach Club where you will enjoy a large beach-front pool, complete with free towel service. Also enjoy a full service bar and restaurant. You will also find o

The best I've every been to in the world. Make sure you make reservations. If you are a couple, the SPA packages that include a private pool as part of the treatment is a GREAT experience.

Please keep in mind this Google Map is approx. 4 years old..you can see on this map that our villa was actually under construction. Nearly all 52 lots now have villas built on them and our community is sold-out.
