家族/ゴルフ/プール/スパディアマンテカボサンルーカス

On the outskirts of Portland, Oregon, my family and I reside in the city of West Linn. By day, my wife and I spend the bulk of our time running our businesses – with myself in the real estate industry as a developer and her working as a pharmaceutical brand representative – we find getting away has its perks. By night, our home is filled with the beautiful chaos of three kids, ages ranging from 13 to 23 years. We all spend a lot of our time getting together, hanging out and enjoying the little things in life. Not far from us is the rest of our close-knit family – whether it be getting together for fun outdoor adventures or lazy pool days, we take great pride in working hard and playing even harder. You only live once; we believe in making the most of it and taking full advantage of spending time with the friends and family that surround us.

We chose to build within Diamanté and Cabo San Lucas for a multitude of reasons. It all started back in 2011 when my wife and I took our first trip to Cabo. Ranging from superb golf-course galore (yep, I’m a huge golfer – not great, but love the game), beautiful ocean views, clean beaches, and a warm and welcoming host of people within the local culture, we found it was the paradise we had been looking for. I had told my wife, years ago, that if we ever came across “Palm Desert” on the ocean, I would, without a doubt, have to buy. A year or so later, we found out about Diamante, the incredible community it was going to host, and of course, the signature golf-course Tiger Woods would be putting in. I had found my “Palm Desert” on the ocean. I was sold. My wife took it upon her studious self to further explore the ‘why’s’ of this property – sooner than later, she was sold too. With the safe and family-oriented environment, surrounded by top-notch amenities, one couldn’t go wrong in choosing to invest within the Diamanté community. Now, as it stands, we have built the vacation home of our dreams in the paradise we love so much. It has been, by far, the best investment our family has made – it’s our home away from home – one in which we can bring friends and family to, knowing that any time spent here is priceless.

Our biggest goal was to make this house feel as much like home, for anyone who stays, as possible. Though, we find that the most unique parts of our home are found amongst the authentic little touches made throughout the house, starting with the décor. It was important to my wife and I that we take our time decorating the house in authentic and local cultured art. As you may find out for yourself, the streets in downtown San Jose are filled with different ‘art crawls’ – featuring local artists and their art. In addition, the town is filled with smaller art boutiques featuring the authenticity of the local culture – and so you will find, our home is host to a variety of these pieces. Next, we have the personal touches made during construction; to start with, there is the beautiful private-entry courtyard that features a tranquil sitting area, surrounded by a serene water feature (of which you will find strewn throughout the property). We have the grand master bedroom featuring a master shower that opens up to the great panoramic views of the ocean and rolling dunes… but don’t worry, a wall has been installed that is the perfect height to hide the essentials, yet allow you to view the scenery. Next is what seems to be the number one spot for our friends and family to gather and hangout at the end of an adventure filled day – the rooftop dry-bar. This spot offers great views of the surrounding areas and a killer sunset experience. Down from there, we have the ‘main-deck’ that is host to an incredible pool and full-blown in-pool bar that features a lovely flat-screen TV for entertainment. Just off from the main deck, we have the custom-made fire pit with a built-in surrounding bench – perfect for any night. Among these awesome features, you’ll find that every bedroom in the house has its own private feel – with 12” thick walls, a private bathroom and a private patio – you’ll have the tranquility you desire, no matter where you’re at in the house.
