Esperanza! Let's Go!! - Casa Contessa 5 Bedroom Luxury Villa!

Welcome to Casa Contessa — Your Private Luxury Escape in Punta Ballena, home of Esperanza!

Congratulations — you’ve just discovered Casa Contessa, where luxury, elegance, and unforgettable memories await. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you made the right choice. The first word out of your mouth will likely be… "WOW, this is really nice". Guests consistently tell us, “The photos don’t do it justice,” and we couldn’t agree more.

**A Grand Entrance That Sets the Tone**

Your experience begins with a peaceful water feature flowing beneath a handcrafted stone walkway — a serene welcome to the villa's front door. Inside, intricate stone inlays adorn the floors, leading your eye across a designer living room and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, featuring top-tier appliances, from a gourmet wine refrigerator to a professional Vitamix blender — perfect for crafting smoothies and cocktails.

**Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living with Roof-Deck**

With over 50% of the home framed by retractable pocket doors, Casa Contessa offers an expansive indoor-outdoor living experience that's hard to beat. Step into 4,500 square feet of outdoor entertainment space, purpose-built for relaxation and gatherings — featuring a stunning pool with a 10 inch deep sun shelf, a jetted jacuzzi, built-in fire pit with plush seating for 10, an outdoor kitchen, and multiple lounge and dining areas.

Every outdoor space is wired for sound, with Bose and Polk Audio speakers seamlessly integrated into a SONOS system — stream your favorite music effortlessly from any device.

**Designed for Entertainment & Comfort**

Whether you’re celebrating with friends or simply soaking in the sun, Casa Contessa ensures every moment is luxurious and comfortable. Gather on the Roof Deck for a fantastic sunrise or sunset. The outdoor kitchen with seating for 8 around the teak dining table, grill up a feast by the fire pit, or unwind in one of our uniquely and gorgeously decorated five bedrooms — each with its own private bath and shower.

The villa includes:

• 5 HD flat screens (including a 70" in the living room)
• All USA and Global TV Stations, including premium VOD programming
• SONOS amplifiers powering built-in ceiling speakers in every room
• Individually climate-controlled bedrooms with newly installed A/C units
• Two Primary Suites featuring oversized bathrooms, walk-in closets, and dedicated air conditioning in bedrooms and bathrooms
• New Roof Deck with panoramic ocean and Lands-End views
• 4-Seater Golf Cart for nominal fee

One of the Master Suites offer a tranquil private outdoor shower, surrounded by lush landscaping — a true reconnect-with-nature experience. Prefer a soak? Both Master Suites include exquisite hand-hammered copper bathtubs, a rare touch of artisanal luxury.

**World-Class Services & Amenities**

Your stay includes every day maid service and concierge assistance, as well as pre-arrival grocery stocking — everything you need to unwind from the moment you arrive. Premium linens and luxury toiletries are standard. We can also assist with reservations at the award-winning Auberge Spa and dining at the renowned Esperanza restaurants.

Need secure, high-speed internet? Casa Contessa offers a newly installed Orbi 960 mesh network with blazing fast connectivity: ~245 Mbps down / ~270 Mbps up — perfect for remote work, video calls, or streaming in 4K.

**A True Luxury Villa — No Compromises**

Casa Contessa is a single-level, custom-built villa just 100 yards from the ocean, located in the prestigious Residencies section of Punta Ballena, home to the iconic Esperanza Resort. All five bedrooms are full-sized, purpose-built suites — no makeshift office conversions or shared bathrooms.

On a side note, we encourage all prospective guests to request the specific location and floor plan details of homes. Unfortunately there are properties that have misrepresented their proximity to the beach, and have displayed their homes as beachfront, while still others have put their homes in the private and beautiful gates of Puenta Ballena when they are miles away from our community. Casa Contessa is on row 3 from the ocean and is just a short walk to putting your feet in the fabulous Sea of Cortez.

**Peace of Mind, Built In**

For added security, Casa Contessa is equipped with four exterior Ring cameras and one indoor entry-facing camera (which can be unplugged and turned toward the wall at your discretion). Our gated neighborhood is also monitored by 21 community security cameras operating 24/7.

**Hosting a Larger Gathering?**

Need more space? We also own an Esperanza 2 bedroom/2,400sqft condominium Christmas Week (Esperanza1701) and one float week. We can also make arrangements for additional villas are available in our neighborhood — perfect for weddings, reunions, or corporate retreats. Enjoy the convenience of hosting everyone in proximity, while still offering privacy across multiple homes.

Amazing Get Away/Birthday

The property was in great shape and the views were outstanding. We were able to get around to see all that Cabo had to offer and boy was that a lot. The property owners and their team (Concierge, Chef, Ride Service etc) were 1st class. We were totally pampered!!!

Wonderful time in Cabo!

Beautiful property that is well equipped and has amazing views. We particularly loved being able to see whales from the back patio while we sipped our morning coffee or swam in the pool. All of our requests were fulfilled timely with excellent service from all parties that worked to ensure we had a wonderful stay (property owners, concierge, property mgr, and housekeeping).

Real Paradise

Simply perfect! Diane's home is impeccable - new, spacious, comfortable and of the highest quality. The location is excellent, and the experience was even better thanks to Baruch, s "house manager"attention and hospitality. The house provides access to a beach club where we had breakfast and did our morning workouts. The small private beach along the coast is a peaceful area to relax. We can't wait to go back!

Cabo never disappoints

Casa Contessa is a beautiful home in the always perfect Punta Ballena. Diane, the owner went out of her way to help us when a few guests had specific laundry needs which we appreciated and the home was comfortable and suited every need. We would definitely stay again and look forward to our next trip to Cabo!

Amazing property!!

Came for a quick birthday trip with friends. The property is absolutely beautiful! The pool was amazing and when it got a little cold, we were able to jump into the hot tub. Baruch was extremely helpful in booking anything that we needed, even last minute requests. He was quick to help with any questions we had. The house was very clean and well stocked. The rooms were large and absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend staying here!

The owner was extremely helpful and checked in with us several times to make sure all was going well. She made the trip comfortable and let us make sure we had all we needed.

Incredible stay in paradise! Even better service.

This was a vacation to remember, and we will definitely be back. From the moment of the booking, the owner, Dianne, was beyond helpful. She immediately put un in contact with their concierge, and gave us some quick tips on how to make the most of the stay. The home was even better than expected, and no detail was overlooked. We were celebrating my 40th birthday, and I couldn't picture a better venue. The house is built for entertainment, and we loved that there were multiple areas that were just perfect for entertainment. We especially loved the pool/hot tub, the outdoor kitchen, and the cozy firepit! All of the rooms were perfect, and everybody was satisfied with their space. The property is located in an incredibly safe area, with access to trails, beach, and a beautiful beach club! We LOVED our housekeeper Noemi, and the service she provided was incredible. We felt so taken care of by her while we were there. Just counting down the days to go back! Thanks, Dianne for your incredible hospitality!

Fabulous family get-away!!!

We visited Casa Contessa in March with family friends. Diane was beyond helpful in the months and weeks leading up to the vacation, offering suggestions for dining and activities for our kids age. The property was beautiful and exquisitely maintained. The bedrooms are decorated extremely well and everything is well stocked. The Xbox and of course the pool were favorites with the kids and they enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit and eating outside every day. One thing I recommend is getting a golf cart. We drove all around and the kids thought this was great fun. It is definitely walkable but with kids (who regularly forget things at the house) it was useful and fun. The whole resort felt so safe and friendly. We walked a lot, played tennis, spent time at the gorgeous beach club and did a lot off property too. Diane and concierge Baruch were always reachable for any questions or problems and we felt very welcomed by them. It was a great time and we would definitely return. Thanks Diane and crew!

Beautiful home and neighborhood

Beautiful house, especially the backyard. The property manager was very attentive, as were the owners. However, it was off putting to see an indoor camera that we noticed a few days in, as my husband was standing in front of it wearing only a towel, since he came out of the shower to ask me to help adjust the water. The camera was aimed at the front door, but could see us in the hall as we passed to and fro. I texted the owner because this made me uncomfortable, especially since the camera can hear our conversations. I would have written it off, but I was offended at their response, which was that we are the first people in 15 years to complain about it. That's not really the point, and I feel that our privacy was violated, and cameras are not allowed inside properties per VRBO terms. We ended up unplugging it. They also had an exterior camera at the front door, so not sure why the interior one was necessary, and this is a double gated community with strict security. She said that they usually tell their guests but we were not told. Even if I had been told I would have unplugged it. The only other complaint was that there was a big mark up on some of the groceries. I thought that we were being charged only a delivery fee of $50. Our bill was so high that I checked some prices at the store down the street and found that liquor, in particular, was extremely marked up, so you might do better purchasing that on your own.

Casa Contessa-Casa Luxury

Where you stay on your vacation is as important as where you go. If Cabo San Lucas is where you choose to vacation, you can't find a better place to stay anywhere in Cabo. This Villa is top of the line in every respect. It is set in a garden paradise with spectacular views of the ocean. To give you a reference... if it were a car it would be a Rolls Royce.

Fabulous Time

From the moment we arrived at the property it was everything we had hoped for. The outdoor living area was spectacular. Infinity pool, swim up bar, plenty of lounge chairs. The interior of the hose was just as great. The owners were very easy to deal with and always available to answer any questions. They were even so nice to have flowers and a cake delivered to the house for my wifes birthday. Top Notch!

Beautiful, well appointed villa. Great for a big group!

Our group of 4 couples really enjoyed our stay at Casa Contessa! The home is lovely with comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space. The kitchen was very well stocked with just about anything you could need. I would highly recommend using the Esperanza spa! It’s one of the best I’ve been to. Also, the pool at the beach club was great for sitting by the pool and ordering lunch. Their sushi was amazing! I would definitely recommend Casa Contessa to anyone traveling to Cabo! The owners were a pleasure to work with and checked in on us to make sure everything was going ok.

This is a gorgeous home with a fantastic location. The photos on the listing simply do not do justice to the real beauty and impeccable quality of everything Casa Contessa delivered. Our family agreed that this was our most favorite vacation and we plan to return again this summer. Dianne (the owner) was so nice and helpful and her staff on-site are very professional and attentive. We can’t wait until June to arrive as we are planning to stay in her larger villa Casa Stephens located directly across the street.

WOW!! Exceeded All Expectations...

Casa Contessa is A-W-E-S-O-M-E ! ! Totally exceeded our expectations and the photos do not do this place justice. We were in Cabo for a family retreat and everybody had plenty of space with their own individual bathrooms/showers. Dianne (owner) was very responsive to our requests as well as the staff who work for them. We all enjoyed the BBQ and outdoor kitchen as well as the fire pit in the evenings with a few bottles of wine. Delightful! We will most certainly be back with a larger group next time since the owners have another 6 bedroom villa directly across the street that is also amazing. We have rented other properties in Cabo and around the world and Casa Contessa is #1 by far.

Incredible home! We can’t wait to go back!

We just got home from a week long stay at Casa Contessa. There was 9 of us(5 adults and 4 children). This was my fourth time staying in Cabo with my family and it was by far the best! The home is gorgeous and the pool and jacuzzi were absolutely phenomenal! Dianne was a gem to work with and she called us the night we arrived to see how things were going. The concierge Baruch was extradionary!!! He brought us groceries, set up transportation, and even coordinated for us to have a Thanksgiving dinner prepared for us by a chef. Noeme the housekeeper was very friendly and did a wonderful job keeping the home clean during our stay. The Punta Ballena Beach Club as always is incredible! We will be back soon! Thank you Dianne and David!

Exceeded all of our expectations

Our trip to Cabo staying at Casa Contessa was the most relaxing memorable vacation to date. Our dear friends rented Casa Stephens and we were lucky to rent Casa Contessa a stones throw away. We brought our two teenage daughters and they each brought a friend. The concierge service was fabulous and he helped us arrange the most fabulous excursions. My younger daughter used the wifi and completed an online course so everyone was HAPPY. The bedrooms were spacious and everyone was happy. We ended up doing quite a bit of walking around the property and enjoyed all the amenities. The gym, restaurants and features of the Esperanza were fabulous. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!!!

WONDERFUL RENTAL IN AN IDYLLIC LOCATION!

Our family of six adults stayed at Casa Contessa in mid February, and thoroughly enjoyed it! The home is beautiful, immaculate, spread out enough to afford privacy for all, and has everything you could need. The outdoor space is ideal, and the neighborhood and surrounding resort is quiet and very safe. Based on reviews I read, we arranged for a golf cart, which was waiting for us upon arrival. We used it daily, and it proved very convenient for trips to the resort restaurants, pool, and the residents' beach club. The pools at both the beach club and the resort were beautiful and surprisingly uncrowded. The concierge arranged for rental cars as well, and the agency delivered the vehicles to the villa, and picked them up on our last day there. The concierge provided information on activities in advance, and we booked some of the suggested activities. We had an excellent meal prepared for us at the villa by a staff of four. We scheduled a sunset photography session on the beach at Esperanza with Sara Richardson, a local Cabo phtotographer. I highly recommend her, she is lovely (www.sararichardsonphoto.com). Four of us went on a walking foodie tour with approximately 7 stops and enjoyed it (Juan More Taco). I can't imagine a more perfect rental experience. Dianne has set the bar high!

Fantastic house!

This was our 3rd time in Cabo and the first time we went the VRBO route. There were 10 of us (5 couples) that stayed at Casa Stephens and all I can say is "Wow!" The property was fantastic--clean, well stocked and with pretty much the best view of the ocean you can ask for. We were whale watching from our patio/pool/hot tub sipping cocktails! The owners and concierge, Baruch, were very easy to work with and very attentive to our needs. We took advantage of the "in-home" spa service (3 massages, 2 facials and a pedicure) and also had an excellent experience with that company. We had another company come in and cook for us one night and that was great as well--prep, cooking and clean up all done for you! The concierge can facilitate all of that with ease. Overall, I high recommend this house (as well as access to a stunning beach club and access to the upper pools as Esperanza) and we all hope to make it back there soon!

Great house for a family or friends

This was our 4th time in Cabo and we have had a different house each time. We had 8 adults and 3 toddlers in the house and there was plenty of room. We especially liked the house being on one floor and all the space utilized. The layout of the house gave everyone privacy and it was comfortable. The outside area was fantastic and we LOVED the hot tub and outdoor kitchen area. The pool was perfect for our group as it had a shallow end and ledge around the pool so all ideal for our toddlers. The kitchen was equipped and the maid service wonderful. We had a golf cart which is a good idea as the house is located farther away from the resort. And, the view....what can we say? We treasured our time there in this beautiful home and thank the owners for being so gracious, accommodating and easy to work with.

Beautiful Home; Great Stay

I rented this villa for my groomsmen when I got married at the Esperanza next door. We also rented the Stephens other home next door, Casa Stephens, for the bridesmaids. The good stuff: - amazing owners - easy to work with! - the place is huge with plenty of room for 10 people - inside/outside living - great pool - nicely furnished - best location - walking distance to Esperanza resort, quick taxi ride to downtown - transportation to and from the airport - daily cleaning by their amazing maid - concierge for pre-arrival shopping - sound system throughout the house - bathrooms for each room The bad stuff - no complaints!

Retreat

We held a Business Retreat at this beautiful home. It was the perfect retreat for our group. The house is spacious and has all the modern day amenities while still having the relaxing feeling of Cabo. It was great to meet around the infinity pool and the firepit at night. And there is nothing like listening to smoothing sounds of the ocean as you fall asleep. It was the perfect place to plan out our goals for our business while being able to fully relax. Dianne was always responsive and strives to make sure you stay is special. Baruch, the concierge was always just a phone call away and checked in on us regularly. We can not wait to enjoy another retreat in paradise. Margarita please...
