This home is amazing. We had a blast and are planning our next visit. You will feel extremely safe here. You can walk to marina in 10 min which has abundance of places to eat. Owner communicates extremely well. Much prettier than pics show. House is extremely clean. Has four nice bedrooms. Easily sleeps 10 to 12. This is a find of a deal. We usually stay at Las Ventanas but think this is our new favorite. Highly recommend this property. Have to go to Ediths for dinner. Make a reservation. Always our favorite.

Owner response:Excellent - it always makes us smile when we get reviews like yours. Renting a villa like ours, Villa Los Geckos, makes for a very different vacation experience. There is no pressure from hotel staff, time share sales, taxis, high priced restaurants and the like. Our location in the Pedregal, Cabo's most secure and prestigous community, is just a short walk to town. Thanks again & glad it was perfect for you. JMS & Family

Great, Convenient Location

My wife and I stayed at Los Geckos for nine nights. Although we rented a car, the location is within easy walking distance to the marina, shops and restaurants. The house is big, clean, comfortable and has Wifi - a huge plus since we wanted to stay in touch with family. Joel was easy to work with and gave us pointers and tips on several items. There are two separate sun decks and a separate pool deck. Plus, there are several other outdoor areas for all to enjoy. From a privacy standpoint, we'd rate Los Geckos an 8 out of 10. For Pedregal, that's a great number since many homes are right next to each other. From a sun factor, we'd rate the location a 7 out of 10. The sun hit the deck by 8:30 in the morning but was behind the house and hill located behind the house by 2:00. We figured the summer months would get more direct sunlight and this would probably bump the rating up to a 9 or 10. If you are looking for a great rental in popular Cabo San Lucas, this is a very strong contender. We would definitely rent this villa again.

Owner response:Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday stay. It sounds like Cabo was a good choice with our warm weather since you were traveling from Alaska. You comments are pretty right on the spot. We consider the home and outdoor living areas spacious, but private. Our home has become a popular rental, so our rental calender is always up to date. Any time you want to come visit Cabo, Villa Los Geckos is waiting for you. Thanks again, Joel

Corporate extravaganza

We went to Cabo as a group from work. Villa Los Gekos was perfect. Everyone had a bed and a bathroom. We walked to the Marina and went fishing every day and cooked our catch in the well stocked kitchen at night. The views are amazing. Everything was clean and well maintained. Joel was very easy to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Villa Los Gekos for your Cabo trip.

A wonderful option for a trip to Cabo with just the bros or spouses, too!

We stayed at Los Geckos for three nights with a group of eight friends on a fishing trip. Everyone slept comfortably, and the home was so enjoyable to be at when we returned each day from fishing. Its beautiful vistas and numerous amenities made it so comfortable that it was sometimes hard to force ourselves to leave to explore the town for dinner. Fortunately, Los Geckos is conveniently located within walking distance - 15-20 minutes - into downtown Cabo, unlike a majority of the villas for rent in Pedregal and other communities that require long transit times into town. This was also my second stay at Los Geckos, and I look forward to continuing to do so in the years to come.

Owner response:Thank you for your nice comments. I know that our family and guests who stay at our vacation home enjoy the casual and convenient walk to town or the marina. Villa Los Geckjos is located high enough up on the hill for a nice view and ocean breeze, but within comfortable walking distance into town. How nice not to have to drive everywhere on your vacation. Glad you enjoyed your stay. JMS

Lovely Villa - Short Walk Into town

Guest: Candice S. (United States)
Date of Stay: 12/26/10 Review Submitted: 06/21/11

We stayed at Villa Los Geckos for New Year and it really was a great choice because we got to see the fireworks over the marina! For a group of adults who want easy access to the night life in Cabo it is a short walk into town. The dining area and outdoor dining on the patio have lovely views out over the marina and ocean. The bedrooms are comfortable and there is an ample supply of linens, towels, extra pillows etc. All the bathrooms are really great and the main master suite has a very large shower! The pool is situated for a lovely view but is a little far from the main house up a flight of stairs in the rear.

We had an awesome time at los geckos. The house was very clean and comfortable for the seven of us who stayed. Beautiful views from almost every room, patios, and pool. The location was close to downtown and marina. We are already planning on our 2nd trip back to cabo and villa los geckos.

We loved our trip to Cabo!! One of the highlights was your beautiful house! The view is spectacular of the city, the Sea of Cortez and the mountains. We had 8 members of our family on vacation and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved the pool being on the top terrace which gave us wonderful photo opportunites out over the awesome view! We also loved sitting out on the balconies reading every morning. What a gorgeous place!!

Owner response:Thank you, your comments are very important to us. Our family enjoys all the aspects you mentioned and it gives us pride to know that our guests do to. Cabo is a wonderful place and Villa Los Geckos makes it comfortable and even more enjoyable. I am glad you had an excellent vacation and stay in our vacation home. JMS & Family

We visited Villa Los Geckos with 3 other couples and had a wonderful time. The house has everything you need and is very well located for getting to town, the marina, and the private beach in Pedregal. I would 100% advise staying at Villa Los Geckos. The neighborhood is safe and secure which was very comforting. Joel was also extremely responsive and helpful, answering all our questions. Thank you Joel.

Owner response:Jim, you're ver welcome. Glad you enjoyed the home. JMS

My family visited Villa Los Geckos for a week in early 2010. We found this home to be beautiful and welcoming, all 8 of us had plenty of room to be together and enjoy each other's company or to have our own space as families sometimes need. An easy walk to town for dinner and a lovely kitchen to cook at home. The private beach was amazing and quite empty. Thank you Joel for a positive family experience.

Owner response:You are very welcome! I am glad you an d your family enjoyed your stay at Villa Los Geckos. JMS

The house was perfect for our adult group of 8! The bathrooms were gorgeous, the bedrooms were roomy, and the terraces were private. We would walk to town for dinner and shopping, but would often take a cab home, (which was not too expensive)We had no complaints!!!! We would stay again!

Owner response:Thank you very much for your stay and nice comments. Joel S./ Owner

Our party of 8 had a wonderful stay in this amazing villa. The furnishings, were gorgeous (especially the bathrooms!) and the five balconies provided amazing views. Location couldn't have been better, close to all the fun while providing the privacy and security of a gated community. Will definitely be coming back!

Our family of 10 had a great and relaxing time in this beautiful updated multi level home (and the bathrooms are amazing). Room for everyone, with awesome view balconies, pool and superior landscaping. Just a short stroll to the Marina and nightlife...

This place is awesome! It's in a gated, secure part of Cabo and has sweeping views of the heart of town and the marina. The amenities were beyond what one would expect from a private rental - it was more like a 5 star hotel - but without all the people. Private, luxurious yet comfortable, and close to all the Cabo fun - highly recommended! Can't wait to return.
