My husband and I really enjoyed this unit. The views from the balcony were excellent and the balcony was very private. The unit was fine for 2 people. The location was fine, would have liked to have been closer to the golf courses but was not a long drive. Location had a fabulous resturant within walking distance. The men at the information desk were great and very helpful, lining up golf and fishing for us. The only complaint I have is the ants in the kitchen and bathroom. Spraying did not help keep them at bay for long. Also, the cable never worked, but the movie selction was good, so we really did not miss the cable to much. Highly recommend staying at this rental and would rent it again in the future.

My wife and I rented this condo for a 10 day stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s very cozy, well-appointed and extremely clean. The balcony is a great place to relax, watch the ocean and listen to the crashing surf. The property is in a beautiful resort that is gated, which gave us a good sense of security. The grounds are lush and the pool was close by and not terribly crowded. The Mona Lisa Restaurant is right next door, we enjoyed a drink and spectacular sunsets there several nights. The location is great because it is not in the crowded downtown area but a short ride away. Costco and Home Depot are very close by and we enjoyed the close proximity to many great restaurants. Villa Serena was one of our favorites. The VRBO ad for this property did not over sell! The pictures represent the property very well and it is an excellent value for a high quality place. Thanks Debbie and Bill.

The "1" star rating is for the view from the balcony. Other than that, I cannot honestly find anything else positive to say about this condo. I will leave my emotions aside and give you just the facts. The entrance is down a non-descript uneven road with a barb wired fence lining the right side of the entry way and abandoned low income housing lining the left. The property itself is under construction in various areas but has a nice pool and swim up bar (no food served). I arrived to find a constantly running toilet that later became a clogged toilet. I tried to contact the handyman and left (2) messages for him and (1) email for the owner (no response from either). After (3) days, I finally tracked him down through the pool's bartender and he did make an attempt to fix the plumbing issues but the problems continued throughout our stay. My first (2) hours in the condo were spent looking on-line for other accommodations. That meant an extra $1500-$2000 out of pocket. Needless to say, I stuck it out as I had no other recourse at the time. The unit was built in the late 1980's and I could find nothing but the microwave that had been updated since then. From the rusty toaster to the tin foil covered stove top, the kitchen was something out of a trailer park. The couch was the most uncomfortable piece of furniture of all time and it made for the most uncomfortable sofa bed as well. The owner was notified that it would definitely be used during our stay and yet when I pulled the bed out for it's first use, out poured a half cup of sand, various chips and crumbs from other unknown foods. The entertainment system is a convoluted mess that comes with a half page instruction sheet and takes (4) remotes just to be able to watch tv. On top of that, they use a cable company called "Sky" which broadcasts 95% of their programs in Spanish. Odd since every renter spoke English and were from either the US or Canada. The deck has a great view but is overloaded with so much furniture, it needs to be stacked in one corner. The shower has a very slow drain so plan on standing in (2) inches of water from beginning to end. And who installs a cushioned toilet seat in a rental property? I requested that there be (2) beach chairs for (2) grown adults. I was again let down as there were only (2) small metal ones that were befitting a pre-teen. Last but not least, this unit is infested with tiny ants. They can be found on every surface area. A small step above camping, never again...

Took my wife on a surprise 25th wedding anniversary trip. We have been going to Hawaii for the past 20+ years staying at places with great views and this condo rates up there. We spent alot of time on the balcony just listening to the waves crash against the rocks below. You can leave the balcony doors open at nite and hear the waves all nite long. When you wake up the sunrise is breathtaking. Complex is clean and safe. We rented a car to get around when we wanted to. Debbie supplied a nice list of places to go. When we got in we went to Costco and bought food to bbq on the balcony (in condo description on VRBO gas grill was listed) big selling point for me well grill didn't work. We were there during World Series and being from St Louis(who was playing in series) wanted to watch game and again in VRBO description stated sat. tv, well didn't work. If Cards weren't playing in WS tv most likely may not have come on. Thes two mishaps put a small damper on things. No fault to owners but wifi at pool was not working either. All in all clean condo with great view.Had a nice time wish everything was in working order if I was owner I would have offered discount but no big deal.

We stayed in this amazing condo June 2011. Such a great location being so close to the swimming beach. The view from the deck is so beautiful and private. (side note for those traveling with children... The railing on the deck is very low and the deck is very high off the ground- so the deck was completely off limits to our two year old. But my husband and I enjoyed the deck a ton when our little one when to sleep for the night) Owners were wonderful and answered all my questions prior to our arrival.

Owner response:So gald you had a wonderful time and hope that if you return soon. That balcony is the best and we really enjoy relaxing out there. Thanks for staying with us, Debbie and Bill

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the condo. It was very comfortable for 2 people. Tons of DVD's for nightime movies. Great patio overlooking the crashing surf. Minutes from downtown Cabo & a private beach that offers good snorkeling only a few steps away. Luis and Ed were very helpful. Thanks Debbie & Bill, we hope to return one day in the near future !!!

Bill & Debbie's condo is a comfortable place. Their photos are accurate. Nice resort just far enough from down town cabo to escape the rat race of time share sellers.

We were at this condo for 9 nights and just got back, it was Amazing!! The balcony was our favorite place to hang out. We watched whales and dolphins while having breakfast every morning! The privacy was great. The beach was very private and very beautiful, and another plus, there was no beach vendors!!! Everything we needed was in the condo, it was very convenient! I would recommend this place to just about anyone. This condo and its owners made our stay Wonderful and one I will never forget:)

Owner response:We are happy that your stay in Cabo at our condo was wonderful. We love our unit and enjoy the balcony as much as you did. Thank you for the review and come back soon! Bill and Debbie

I have been going to this complex, since the early 1990's. I have stayed in more than 30 different units on the misiones property and i must say that this unit is, on my top 3. It is right on the water, the balcony is completely private. This one bedroom unit is perfect for a couple, thats wants a romantic getaway. The unit was nicely furnished, with satalite tv radio, which we never used, due to the picture perfect view of the sea, from the balcony. When we were there, in MAY 2010, there were not alot of people, we had the swimming pool, pretty much to ourselves. The property is very safe & secure and even though we rented a car, the complex has a shuttle service between misiones & downtown Cabo, throughout the day. The property is is very well maintained lots of beautiful palm trees, flowers & exotic plants. Whether this unit or the complex, in general. Misiones is the only place i stay at, when in Cabo San Lucas. Why stay at a Hotel, when you can stay at your very own Condo.
