This condo was all that the description promised and more; so it is with mixed feelings I write this review. On the one hand I feel the need to honestly convey my appreciation to the owners for allowing us to use their wonderful place, in a wonderful place, and on the other hand, I would like to keep this little piece of paradise a secret so it will be available when we chose to go back (and we will!). The prpperty is one of the original condos on the private Solmar beach on the Pacific at the the tip of the Baja penninsula. Many of the individual condos have been updated with new kitchens and baths and better air-conditioning, but we found that many were not, leading to unhappy commenters on various web-sites. I do not know about this unit but, regardless, the place was very comfortable, nicely appointed, well maintained, and with a kitchen fully operable with all that one would expect in a kitchen. The listing and the pictures were accurate but did not do justice to the charming local art work, furniture, and decorations in the condo. The owners appear to use this place as a home away from home and not just a distant rental property. The place was spotless when we arrived and was stocked with the basic needs, plus plenty of beach towels, pool floats, information and recommendations about Cabo and San Jose, etc. The owners were extremely helpful, including when the WiF in the unit would not work, immediately tasking the Terrasol manager to get a crew in to fix/replace it. Which they did. In general, this location is not for those looking for a very active/lots of stuff going on/social activities/party vacation.... it is however a great place to get away to, and sit on the beach/by the pool/on the condo patio and relax. The condo is within easy walking distance (less than a mile) of plenty excellent restaurants (from fancy to barefoot), water activities, and shopping. I would recommend this property gladly and have done so already.

Winter vacation 2011 at Terrasol

We just returned from our best vacation ever. This Cabo resort is quite unique. These condos are low profile and were designed to fit into the natural beauty of Cabo. Instead of the high density hotels with there many and sometimes annoying entertainment, one gets a feeling of peace, harmony, and total relaxation. I have a very demanding job and staying at Terrasol allowed me to totally relax. This particular condo was very well furnished, well maintained and had every thing we needed. The beds were absolutely wonderful. My wife has torn disks in her back and she slept well and we both woke well rested. The view of the ocean is great and you can walk from the patio right onto the sand. The Solmar beach is still one of the best in Cabo. We saw many whales while we were there and the waves at times were very impressive. This is NOT a swimming beach but it is an awesome beach. Do your swimming in the pools or take a short water taxi ride to Medano beach. Terrasol is located close to town making it an easy walk to the marina and shopping. The full kitchen is helpful if you like to cook your own food and save money. There are also many good restaurants. We enjoy the food at Solmar especially the Motajete, seafood served in a hot stone bowl. The Terrasol has a small pallapa bar and restaurant that serves a great hamburger at a good price. Maros shrimp house is fun, and it's hard to beat Mama's Cafe Royal for breakfast. If nightlife is your thing Cabo Wabo for live music is my personal choice, though many folks enjoy El Squid Roe and the Giggling Marlin. Fishing was poor while we were there but should improve when the water warms. The owner was very helpful and we used paypal for our payment, which was simple and easy. If you choose to rent this place please take good care of it as we intend to come back and enjoy this place again.

Terrasol is a lovely setting. The beach house is spacious and comfortable, and the view is spectacular.

We want to let you know how much we LOVED staying in your home. It was one of the most relaxing, restful and fun vacations we have ever had, and we all agreed we would return in a heartbeat! Your place was perfect and we had almost the entire complex to ourselves (even lover's beach!) It took just one time share session (so we could get a free car rental, two rounds of golf and a four person sun set cruise, of course) to remind us of how truly busy and bothersome staying in a large resort can be. Your's was the perfect contrast - the people were lovely, the food was delicious and the weather was superb. We highly recommend this villa to others as it had all the comforts of home as well as the perks of being on vacation. Thank you again for sharing your home with us - we felt very fortunate to be there.

We had a wonderful vacation. The condo was great – our own view of the ocean, whales, walks on the beach. Plus being close to town was great too.

Christmas in Cabo 2008! We stayed in this beautiful fully furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath Terrasol first floor condo facing the ocean. Gorgeous sunsets, private beach, warm weather. Very close to town, yet far from the crowds. Everything here is within walking distance. Make sure you climb the rocks to lovers beach. Hope to vacation here again.

We stayed at the Terrasol Beach House in late March of 2007 and I thought I posted a message way back then, couldn't find it so here is our comment: Terrasol is the most beautiful Beach House rental you’ll find in Mexico. A private, fabulous beach, beautiful white sand and the rental house is spectacularThe unit was in great condition; everything you would need was right there and everyone was comfortable and relaxed. The condo had two complete bathrooms with a washer and dryer. The staff were so helpful and friendly, especially Mario.We had breakfast on the patio in the mornings, while we watched the birds and of course listening to the ocean waves – especially at night in the spa, what a treat! We loved lounging around the pool and the bar for lunch and walking the beach in the afternoons. It was very hard to leave Terrasol and we recommend it to everyone! We saw a huge cruise ship one night, what a sight. We hated going home. Wishing we lived there. If you like the party life – you MUST go to the Giggling Marlin AND El Squid Row!!!! There are lots of great restaurants to eat and great shopping. Truly just a fabulous vacation was had by all. Thank you so much Ryan for renting your lovely home out for others to enjoy.Pamela & Oscar Chiarella916-947-5934

April-May 2008 Terrasol is a very quiet & peaceful place to vacation. The beach condo was fabulous, ocean view, close to the pool, great food at the little Palapa restaurant ( that is when you were too relaxed to cook your own food ). There were even chilled Coronas when we arrived, probably left over from the previous guests, so we did the same and left some for the next vacationers, I'm sure they appreciated a cold one after a long day of travelling. Nothing bad to say about this place. WE'LL BE BACK !!
