Absolutely fantastic vacation rental property! The unit was well appointed, stunning views from the very large comfortable deck. Beautiful pools and great location right on the beach. The ocean is not swimmable per se, but you can play in the waves and go in the water a little bit. Really appreciated having the four beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella to set up down at the beach. Two beautiful pools and a hot tub. La Comer grocery store about a mile up the road. Mamma Mia’s restaurant at the property next-door was great! Property manager was very helpful and friendly and Had lots of good information about the area. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely condo, clean, beautiful view, well equipped kitchen. Particularly liked that there were a few important staples in the kitchen. Gorgeous property, clean and well maintained.
My first time staying in this property. Nothing negative can be said about it - just exclamation marks! Thank you Judy for such a wonderful experience!
This condo is beautifully decorated! It has everything you need. We cooked a lot and ate in at this beautiful place with a Wonderful view! Beds are comfortable and really feels like home!
We have an incredible time at this condo. It is in the perfect location in San Jose del Cabo. It is on a beautiful and quiet beach. The view is fantastic and the grounds are great. The condo is super comfortable and well maintained. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked for cooking. We will definitely come back. 5 stars!

We had a great stay in this very comfortable condo with amazing views. We swam in the pools every day and visited most of the recommended restaurants. It felt a little like we had our own personal concierge, as the recommendations and available services were spot on. We enjoyed it all!
Incredible place with resort feel but without the noisy bustle. The place was clean and well stocked. We loved the lanai with the beautiful sunrises, 3 temperature pools and direct access to the beach. Our only critique would be that there was no hot water to the master shower but it didn't take away from us recommending this place.

My husband and I just returned from a one week stay at Dan and Judy's beautiful condo. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, comfortable and well decorated. We had a few questions during our stay and they were answered quickly by the owners and/or property managers. We have stayed at El Zalate many times in other condos. You cannot find a more serene and secure spot with the most incredible views! We plan to return in a year and are already looking forward to the trip.

Beautiful condo with a great balcony and incredible views
We loved this condo and barely wanted to leave it. The view from the balcony was so nice and everything was upgraded in terms of appliances and furniture. The kitchen was stocked and they supply things like boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach and pool weren’t crowded at all. Very peaceful environment. A lot of good food options within walking distance, and San Jose Del Cabo was a quick uber. We went into Los Cabos twice, but were so happy we weren’t staying there. Kathy and Rudy were very helpful! Thanks for a great vacation.
We loved Dan and Judy's place, it was so clean and had anything and everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable! The Lanai was spacious and so nice.The location was perfect, close to Grocery Stores and great places to eat. So convenient to San Jose, where we enjoyed the Art Walk and Restaurants there as well. Both Judy and the property Managers were so nice to work with. Just great people !! I highly recommend !!
Cant wait to stay here again !! Thank you Judy and Dan :)

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We liked the fact that was place was clean, the view was fantastic, and grounds were kept up. The beach was almost part of the property it was so close. Having our own kitchen was so nice, made it nice for small meals or you can cook a meal too. Our communication with the property managers was very good and helpful. It was peaceful there. But, if you wanted some excitement a uber ride to town was less than 10 minutes away, you could walk it through the beach if you wanted to. Were already planning on a return visit, highly recommend this condo.
My wife and I spent 8 days here, and it was really nice to be at a low key property ( no time share pressure) the week was very relaxing with some golf and Thursday night art walk. We had meals at the palapa as well as Mama Mia’s next store just steps on the beach away! It was wonderful sitting on the balcony watching sunrise and drinking Mexican coffee!! A 5star get away, hoping to return again soon….. thank you Dan and Judy! Oh yeah we saw whales from the balcony too !!
My wife and daughter stayed here for 6 nights during spring break - 3/15 to 3/21. We've been to SJC multiple times and stayed at a few all inclusive resorts and boutique hotels. After staying at El Zalante and this particular unit I don't think we'll stay anywhere else on our next visit. The unit was recently remodeled and the floors are a beautiful large format tile which flowed seamlessly out to the veranda. Very nicely decorated too. Morning coffee on the comfortable veranda furniture was a daily routine and equally inviting for happy hour and meals. The hosts were very communicative and awesome to deal with. They even helped get me set up with the group of golfers that go out weekly. The grounds and pool are very well maintained. We will be back for sure and looking forward to it! Thanks J & D!
Beautiful beach front condo, expensive airport pickup
The property was very nice, spacious and tastefully decorated. Amenities were great, except the hot tub was not functioning the entire week. Beach was very secluded and we saw whales offshore on several afternoons! Communication with the owners was prompt. Good suggestions given for nearby restaurants and spa services. Art Walk was wonderful, it’s a must! Warning: the on-site property manager, Rudy, recommends airport transportation by Aldo at Dunes Tours and Travel. The charge was 70 one way for a 20 minute trip. I should have checked Uber, it was on 16 one way. I suggest you take an Uber everywhere. Cheap and good service!

Thank you for the kind review. We take pride in our property and want your experience to be exceptional. It sounds like you had a wonderful time enjoying whales from the beach, exquisite restaurants, and the Art Walk. I followed up with Rudy and understand the quote, for up to 5 passengers, was given to you and your guest in advance. Aldo, owner-operator for 20 years of Dunes Tours and Travel offers a fleet of Suburbans and Escalades. This quote is reasonable for private, professional transportation. Unfortunately, there were flight delays for others in your party, leaving the entire amount your responsibility. We hope this clarifies your concern.

Another perfect stay!
This was our second visit to Dan and Judy’s condo and we loved it just as much if not more than our first. El Zalate is a great property- beautifully maintained pool and grounds and views that take your breath away. The condo itself is such a pleasure to stay in. It is obvious there is pride of ownership here. It is one of the nicest and best equipped VRBO properies we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is here. Our favourite spot is the huge deck.We spent many happy early mornings drinking our coffee watching the sunrise and loved our candlelit dinners at the outdoor dining table.
Thanks so much,Dan and Judy,you really do have a little piece of paradise here. We’ll be back- Bruce and Paula

Home with a View
My husband, college student son and I just returned from a week at this beautiful property. Other reviews have referred to the comfort of this well maintained condo, but I will add that it is clearly a well loved home, with all the conveniences you might want provided with high end style. The complex is within walking distance of a few good restaurants, but we found it helpful to have a car. There is a fair amount of construction all over Cabos and the property was a tranquil oasis; Always quiet, on a near empty broad beach. (We did not try to swim there, though a handful of people did.) Dan and Judy were always available and helpful hosts. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for relaxation.

Thank you for your comments Diane! I know it took some effort to get there from New York this winter but I'm glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves. I hope the tan lines last at least 2 weeks! 😉 I hope you can come back soon
Dan and Judy.
I'm hesitant to review this place because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The condo was clean, spacious and prefectly situated on the property. Gorgeous views from a comfortable balcony living room. The pools were large with ample space for guests and never crowded. With a bar and restaurant next door, fresh fish sold by locals after their day on the water, and the local supermarket a short walk or uber ride away- what more could you ask for?! Our young teen girls joined us and their room with 2 beds was a perfect fit for them. We enjoyed this so much we are already talking about our return! This was a find we were more than happy with, just don't tell anyone!
Loved the location. 3 great restaurants within a short walk and Ubers everywhere for easy access to anything you need! (Oxxo next door for quick simple purchases and beautiful Grocery only 1km away) The condo was clean and comfortable with easy access to the pool and beach. Pool was heated and perfect temp. (Kids under 12 not allowed in hot tub tho and strictly enforced by neighbours. All very nice ;) It was also valuable to know in advance that beach was not safe to swim in. The Owners were easy to contact and very responsive. They were gracious enough to accommodate us one more night at the last minute when our flight was cancelled. We loved the condo and were Very happy with our stay! Thank you!
The place was very nice and had a beautiful view. Very quiet & low key place if that is what you are seeking. It was nice to be able to use a gym one mile away for free. Had everything you needed.
****Only issue was our friends who stayed in the guest room only had luke warm water in shower. The Master bathroom shower was hot but not guest room bath. That is something we complained about but supposedly nothing could be done about it. So if I paid half for the condo, I’d want to know that going into it.
Otherwise it was a nice stay and very responsible manager & owner.

About the host
Hosted by Judy Sage
Married over 35 years, Dan & Judy live in Pismo Beach,CA, and have always enjoyed beachside vacations. In 2014, after many trips to Cabo, we decided to purchase a home of our own in what we consider one of the best-kept secrets in Cabo. We know you will enjoy our home as much as we do. The only question is 'When will your Adventure begin'?
Why they chose this property
Our unit is in the center of the complex facing the ocean. This is a benefit since it allows for a constant breeze from the ocean. Also, we are close to the secure parking area and the Security booth. The parking area is close, as is the elevator. This is great when carrying groceries or luggage to the unit.
What makes this property unique
Our Palapa boasts elegant, comfortable outdoor furniture. Since you will spend many relaxing hours on the balcony, you want to be sure you are comfortable! Also, due to our 3rd-floor location you enjoy views of the garden, pools, and ocean instead of at another building. We have a security front door which allows for a cool breeze and peace of mind. Often we leave the windows open at night while we sleep to the sound of the waves. Our kitchen is fully stocked with paper towels, Tupperware, zip lock bags, and many spices for gourmet cooking. Laundry and dish soap, toilet paper and mini soaps and shampoos, conditioner, and lotions are always plentiful. No need to bring your hairdryer, there is one in each bathroom along with plenty of luxurious towels. We have four Tommy Bahama beach chairs and swim noodles for your enjoyment at the beach and pool. Lastly, you will always find a cold beverage in the frig upon your arrival. There's nothing else like it!
