Our Huge, Customized Residence, called 'Salsa and Jazz Corner,' is the only Alegranza Resort residence that combines two condos into one expansive home suitable for large family gatherings and groups of friends. Developed by singer Enrique Iglesias and international professionals with very high standards, Alegranza combines exceptional quality, location, and service. On a hilltop, the resort is centrally located so you can walk to town (great restaurants, the town square, shopping, and a thriving art district), the wide white sandy beach, the estuary (wildlife preserve great for birdwatching), the starting place for ATV tours, the grocery store, and much more -- all you need to enjoy 'the quiet Cabo,' a historic mission town known for its charm. This residence combines happy Mexican colors with plush sofas, vibrant art, the owner's handmade quilts, and comfortable American conveniences to create a spacious, fun, exciting family home away from home, much better than cramming into a smaller condo, a bland rental, older construction, or expensive hotel rooms. Well-appointed cooks' kitchens. Desks with printers & WiFi. Comfy deck lounging. Multi-zone speakers and receivers with AirPlay; Apple TV and Roku.
The resort's 93 condos all face the sea, three to a floor in six buildings, curved so every residence enjoys privacy and easy access to beautiful amenities. The connection between our two condos is via a heavy, double, alderwood door. It opens and disappears into a pocket when the two condos are combined, so you can pass from one area to the next through your own private terrace. Beautiful set-up for multiple generations, families with teens or young adults, or large groups.
Our location within Alegranza is rare and highly desirable, on the corner facing the wildlife estuary as well as the Sea of Cortez, high enough to really take in the spectacular views. It gets morning sun, keeping it cooler in the afternoons, and it's away from cobblestone street noise. Only the corner units have our kitchen layout and a dining area with a huge picture window. Savor the sunrise with an early morning latte, and take in the sunset from a beautifully furnished marble terrace that's over 73' long and cooled by ocean breezes. Each square dining table seats 4 to 8, and there is terrace dining for a crowd, with both gas and charcoal grills.
10' high ceilings. Sliders that recess into walls. 6-zone A/C + 10 ceiling fans. The deck has chaises lounges, a club chair and ottoman, a loveseat and coffee table, a day bed, and two huge reclaimed pine tables with 12 cushioned chairs, stereo speakers & cooling breezes.
Along with art emphasizing the pleasures & colors of Mexico, waterfront, music and dance, every room was jazzed up with custom furnishings, like hand painted armoires and sideboards, fuchsia ultra-suede sofas, local artisans' work, art and bed quilts made by the owner. Beds have Top-of-the-Line Mattresses. Wall colors, accessories, games and beach equipment--everything was uniquely selected to make this residence a special vacation home for our family. And YOU can reap the rewards of this attention to detail.
Booking and Management: Although advertised by owner, we have bilingual local property managers to answer questions for us since we travel a lot, and they will check you in, orient you, provide concierge services, and handle cleaning and maintenance. If you wish, they'll arrange extra cleaning and maid services, personal shopping (stocking the pantry and refrigerator before your arrival), catering, babysitting, transportation, yoga and pampering--everything you'd expect at an upscale resort. No worries; just relax & enjoy!
With the flexibility of walking to restaurants, making your own meals (with ingredients from nearby grocery stores), or having a chef come cook for you, this is a great home base from which you can explore a different activity or venue every day, many within an easy walk. Plus you can swim laps, stroll the beautiful grounds, work out, kick back around one of three quiet pools and hot tubs, and take in the view from a comfortable sun-sheltered deck.
In Sum: Spacious 4050 sq. ft. with Ocean Views from All Rooms - Rare Reserved Underground Parking - High End Everything - The only 4 BR, 4 Bath home at Alegranza over 4,000 sq. ft. - Rare Corner Layout offers picture windows, wonderful breezes, and corner doors that slide away for maximum indoor-outdoor living! Flexible Bedroom set-up. Premium construction upgrades and special furnishings added to a premium location!

We loved our stay at this beautiful condo. The owner and management were responsive and top notch in their serivce. The suite was spacious, well appointed, clean and in first class condition. Great location and beautiful view. We recommend it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children.
Owner response: This reviewer and his wife and two young children actually just stayed in half of the property described in this listing: "Salsa" which is listed separately at VRBO #232035. When we rent either of the adjacent condos, we have to mark this one as booked and that's how it happened to get posted here. I will try to get VRBO to post it to the other listing, but either way, we're grateful that they enjoyed their stay and posted a nice review!

Our extended family of 9 just returned from a week in Jazz Corner/Salsa...the condos were beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home and more, clean and well maintained...the views of the ocean spectacular, enjoyed the 3 pools and hottubs often, walking the beach (5 min. away) snorkeling & whale watching on Cabo Escape, the boys all went surfing, excellent meals in Alegranza and in San Jose Del Cabo, a charming mexican town, fun to explore...the Saint Jose Festival was going on so lots of activities, dancers, singers, carnival etc. I would highly recommend a stay here..Chris was extremely helpful with suggestions and answers to questions..MuffieRecommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: My husband and I truly love being able to facilitate a celebration such as this family enjoyed -- celebrating two generations' BIG anniversaries and one of those birthdays ending in a zero! We were happy to help in advance to arrange a private dinner, cake, flowers, champagne, sporting activities, where to go for local brews, whatever would help to make the event great for the whole crowd. This is exactly why we got two side-by-side condos and made them open to each other through their private terraces. So glad they had a blast!

I simply could not have been happier with my stay in Cabo! As a family we rented both Salsa and Jazz Corner, and it was one of the best vacations I've ever had! I didn't know what to expect as this was my first vacation rental, but the property is much larger and even brighter in person. The photos don't do it justice. It feels like a home (and a very large one at that), which is such a nice contrast to a sterile hotel. There is so much space to spread out. You can be together when you want and then go off and take a quiet minute to yourself. The kitchens are stellar. We had so much fun cooking. They are thoroughly equipped with everything you could need. The bathrooms and bubble jet tubs make you feel like you are in a resort somewhere. And there are three pools and hot tubs on the grounds, along with a gym and a restaurant. I think this is an extremely versatile property. For large families you could rent both condos, for honeymoons you could just rent one, for a girls weekend you could do both and have a big group of girls down. And Cabo has everything from adventure sports to laid back shopping and dining. Whatever you are looking for, you will have a fabulous time here. Everything about the location was convenient too. It's such a quick drive from the airport and relatively easy to find. The property is impeccable. The staff on site are incredibly friendly and helpful. I felt so welcome. The best part is the deck and the view! We spent every single morning watching the sunrise with coffee. I could live in a place like this very easily. Simply put, I would go back in a heartbeat. Chris and Toby have created a really magical vacation home. They are the most thoughtful owners. And Chris was so helpful during the rental procedure! You couldn't ask for nicer people to rent from.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, people with disabilities.

- Date of stay 04/06/11

Our two families got together to celebrate three birthdays! I don't believe my father remembered much of his 50th, once José Cuervo came to the party (ha ha ha)! However, Billy's 29th and Riley's 1st birthdays were remembered with lots of fun. We hardly needed to decorate for the parties as the condos were so vibrant with colour and fun on their own. Walking in to see the pink in the Jazz entry and orange in Salsa made you feel completely relaxed but also ready to party. Not only did we enjoy our time in the condos but spent many wonderful relaxing nights on the patios watching the sun go down, and days soaking up the rays by the beautifully landscaped poolside. Mexico is a wonderful place to celebrate and relax with family, but having stayed in these condos, it felt like home. Thank you for sharing your condos for an amazing week with family!

Words can't express how wonderful & beautiful this property is. Our [two families'] vacation went beyond our expectations. Thanks to Chris for allowing us to bring our group together in Jazz & Salsa. The space was perfect. We had lovely dinners and family time on the terrace enjoying the view, many walks to the beach and into the town square. The Alegria Restaurant [in Alegranza] was fantastic. We also enjoyed Habaneros as they were very accommodating to food allergies. We feel very rested and we all agree it was one of our most relaxing vacations. We are all very sad to leave and hope to return again soon.

My husband & I spent 18 days in the San Jose del Cabo area, splitting up our vacation with 9 days in hotel, and the next 9 days in Chris & Toby's very comfortable and well equiped Jazz Corner. We had all the comforts of a home away from home, incredible views, great decor, in a very pleasant development! Chris included such a great guide of local shopping, restaurants, maps, activities..better than any hotel concierge! The floorplan of Jazz Corner was great with basically 2 full bedrooms and full ensuites, so that this unit could so comfortably and privately accommodate eg. 2 couples or great for "the girls" getaway..of course we were only 2, but good to know for a future visit, or for anyone reading this review. Another plus was that Los Cabos weather was just incredible! All in all, a great condo, and great holiday! (Quoted from previous VRBO Jazz Corner review.)Did you find this review helpful?

Wonderful condo in a beautiful location. Chris' is the best homeowner rental vacation. She has thought of everything and this condo is truly the best equipped . . . but could use a salad spinner :-) Enjoyed the deck every day and had all our meals outside. Our dining favorite San José restaurant was La Panga Antiqua. We also enjoyed Cafe Santa Fe in Todos Santos and a great Mexican restaurant "Antojo" on the main street in Los Barrilles. Merry Christmas, Chris & Toby. Thank you, Cindy & Mike. (Comments quoted from our onsite guest book -- and we've since added a new salad spinner!)Did you find this review helpful?

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful condos. It was wonderful having the adjoining places. We had such fun swimming in the pools during the days, then sitting out enjoying the amazing views from the deck at night. The proximity to town is fabulous! We enjoyed the walk to town with the kids. We found a second home at the many surf beaches close by. We drove up to "Nine Palms" on the East Cape. Amazing how quickly you can be in the middle of nowhere with such beauty surrounding you. We hope to return very soon.

Our Second Time Staying at Salsa -- It is a great place and a great location (the hill is great for your heart). We walked every day we were here, sometimes up and down the hill twice. Walking is a great way to get to some of the great restaurants @ the bottom of the hill. Local Eight has great food and good music. Habaneros is another good one for Happy Hour and food. Your property manager at Cabo Elite "Alonso" was an excellent contact. He lined us up with the best fishing trip ever. We went out of Palmilla with Javier. Our time here has been fantastic and we plan to return. We will also tell our friends & family. Thanks again, Chris & Toby.

Our two month stay at Jazz was totally amazing. It was more than we ever could have imagined. It is very obvious that Chris and Toby decorated this beautiful condo as their own home. The kitchen has top notch dishes, knives and pots and pans. The beds are so comfortable and all of the decorating is so bright and beautiful. We watched the sunrise each morning from our comfy king size bed and watched the sunsets from the deck overlooking the sea and city. The management team was there to assist us in every way. We would highly recommend Jazz and can hardly wait to come back. Thanks Chris and Toby for sharing your beautiful home.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: With two daughters and a grandson, we wanted our own special beach property to escape to with our extended family. We swim, sail, kayak, and snorkel. We prepare some large family meals and also walk to casual and elegant dining in town. We haunt the local art galleries and appreciate the town's architecture and friendliness. We enjoyed furnishing this property as if we'd live in it ourselves much of the year . . . including selecting the most comfortable mattresses! Chris created special quilts for the property; she also hosts groups of women here for quilt getaways and retreats.
Why the Owner Chose Alegranza:
After years of trips to other parts of Mexico, we were delighted to find San José had everything offered by other Mexican resort areas, and we prefer its climate. We feel safe, enchanted, and love the convenience of Los Cabos Int'l Airport. We've stayed in Cabo San Lucas, but we prefer San José del Cabo because of its charm and historic Spanish Colonial character, peaceful but by no means dull!
San José restaurants are as good or better than Cabo San Lucas', the Art District in San José is as good or better than Todos Santos', and you can still enjoy the same activities. Costco, Home Depot, Walmart and the marinas are easy to visit, but we're happy to be away from Cabo San Lucas's mall, the competing loudspeakers on the beach, in the marina, and echoing off cruise ships and tourist boats every afternoon and evening. San José is a vibrant, authentic Mexican town with upscale offerings for visitors, and it's very easy to get around.
We considered the direct beachfront developments but preferred the new Alegranza Resort by far. Our private and spacious hilltop home has an unencumbered panoramic view of ocean, estuary, town and mountains, from sunrise to sunset. No one looks into our condos or our terrace, and we don't look into theirs. And we love to walk into town.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
• PREMIUM CORNER: Salsa and Jazz Corner is on the quieter and more beautiful of Alegranza's two corners, facing the estuary and away from the noise of a cobblestone street; it has an astounding view, a picture window in the dining area, a 73' long wraparound terrace, and being on the 3rd floor is high enough for a great view but low enough for us to use the stairs instead of the elevator.
• UPGRADES: 2 jacuzzi bathtubs and master bath safes, multiple speaker zones, GE Monogram appliances, even an upgraded kitchen sink and extra countertop space, additional lighting and ceiling fans, extra marble, and a built-in day bed on the terrace;
• FURNISHINGS: The furnishings are not one of three standard 'hotel packages' but rather, custom designed and furnished including original art and quilts made by the owner, and much more than standard kitchen supplies including hand-painted Talavera pottery;
• MANAGEMENT: We are conscientious owners who put in many extra touches, maintain an extensive guest information wiki/website, and we also have very responsive local property managers to handle inquiries, check-ins, orientation, concierge services, and any necessary repair or assistance that might arise.
• PARKING: Besides 2 reserved parking spots right out front, Salsa and Jazz Corner each has a reserved parking space at the base of our elevator (rare because only 2 of the 6 buildings even have garages, and the limited number of garage spaces were sold separately); they keep cars cool from the sun and make for easy loading and unloading of luggage, beach chairs & cooler, and groceries).
• HONEST ADVERTISING: The photos on our website and listings were taken in our own condos (except the one with the dolphin).
