Relax on the balcony facing the pool with hardwood floors and freshly laid wall tiles. Keep the sliding glass door open and create an indoor-outdoor space. Neutral decor lends a relaxing atmosphere, while a good size kitchen is great for making meals.
This condo is walking distance to some of the best surfing spots in the world—Zippers, The Rock, and Old Man's beach. 5 min car ride to the downtown area of San José del Cabo. Drive 25 minutes to reach the City of Cabo San Lucas.
The space
Beds and bedding: There is a queen size bed in the bedroom, as well as a pull out queen in the living room sofa. Pillows, blankets, linens, and comforters are provided and found in the bedroom closets and drawers.
Kitchen:All necessary pots, pans, dishes/utensils, refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc.
Water: There is a separate water faucet by the sink that has filtered water to drink and rinse fruit etc. It is a 7 chamber Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System.
The tap water has not been treated, but I do not use it for drinking, only cooking, showering, dishes, brushing your teeth.
Audio/Video: There are 2 TVs (one large flat screen in the living room and a smaller TV in the bedroom) with Netflix
Hair Dryer Under the bathroom sink
Sheets, pillows, and blankets: Extras are stored in the cabinets in the bedroom
Towels: (including beach towels) are stored in the hall closet and bedroom cabinets. Our pool is the pool visible from the balcony. Take the elevator to S Level-walk through the hall and up the stairs. Wet towels are not allowed to be draped over the deck, so just drape them on drying rack(in the kitchen closet) and/or the deck chairs.
Surfboards can be rented within walking distance at Zippers.
The ceiling fans in each room are controlled by wall switches. They should already be set on high, but the speed can be adjusted by the hanging chains. The bedroom and living room air conditioners are controlled by their own remotes, found in each room. Simply press the bottom button and it will turn on. The temperature should be set to around 22 C. Hopefully, you’ll be cooled by the ocean breezes and won’t need the air conditioners. When you leave the condo please turn off the A/C
Guest access
Self checkin/checkout
Make sure you place the Guest Parking Pass in your car located by the kitchen table
AIRPORT AND TRANSPORTATION;
You can arrange to rent a car prior to arriving in Cabo. There are free car rental shuttle services that take you to the rental car companies. There is a Thrifty Car Rental at the Krystal Grand Hotel MAIN Lobby off of the Highway to the left from La Jolla if you are interested in renting a car.
If you are not renting a car there are a couple of options. From the airport, you can take any taxi to La Jolla. You would want to be dropped off at the La Jolla building, next to the Krystal Grand Hotel palapa (not the main lobby entrance)
Public buses run along the corridor and into town. There is a bus stop right on the highway, but you can also flag a bus down.
Other things to note
Groceries:
Oxxo Conveneint Store is located right by the highway. When exiting the condo go to the right, past the Palapa/lobby of Krystal Hotel-walk up the driveway towards the highyway. When you reach the highway walk to your right and Oxxo will be right there.
“La Comer” is about 1 mile back toward the airport on the right side of the highway. It is similar to WalMart (food, clothing, electronics, etc.).
Chedruia is the large grocery/all inclusive store on the other side of the round about. There is also a food court area with multiple options to grab lunch or dinner.
“Pemex” is the only gas station chain. They are located at various places around town.
WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE:
These are the restaurants within walking distance along the beach from our condo:
Mama Mia's – walk along the beach to the left (north/east), at Wyndham resort. It’s a great place to go on your first night of arrival. Entertainment on some nights. Can also be reached by walking up to the highway and taking a right.
Zippers and Pescadito break – lunch and dinner. Right on the beach heading to the right (south/west), entertainment occasionally
A great restaurant that is close- but better reached by car or taxi:
Cabo Surf/7 Seas - A long walk during the day during low tide, since it’s located around the point from Zipper's - Great for lunch or sunset dining. You might want to drive there instead.
IN THE TOWN OF SAN JOSE DEL CABO: this little colonial town should be explored. It has some great restaurants, jewelry stores, and artists’ studios. It is a very unique and special town situated along an estuary. Don't miss the ArtWalk in downtown, every Thursday in November - June.
La Lupita
Casa Calvera
Flora Farm - Just past the marina on your way to Laguna Hills. A very unique experience. Restaurant and organic farm open to the public.
La Dolce- well established Italiana
If you are looking for a DayParty/Club experience- check out OMNIA Day Club in the Grand Mayan at Vidanta Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo
AND OF COURSE, CABO SAN LUCAS: Many of the resorts have their own restaurants, and then there is the marina, lined with restaurants and bars. The marina is beautiful (no longer a quaint fishing village) and Medano Beach is still a big attraction, as well as the bar scene and night action in town. I love to watch the sunset at the Mona Lisa restaurant or at their upstairs Wine and Pizza Bar, same location (across the highway from Home Depot), on the point.
I do suggest that if you should travel to TODOS SANTOS, eat at The Hotel California or La Esquina (off the beaten path). I have also stopped at a surf resort just south of Todos Santos called Rancho Pescadero. You must drive through fields of organic farmland before arriving at the resort. The beach is great to walk along, and the sunsets can be incredible.
EAST CAPE – a great all day excursion along the east cape road from the Laguna Hills to Cabo Pulmo, then loop back to San Jose by connecting to Highway 1 from La Rivera.
WHEN YOUR STAY IS OVER:
Please close and lock all windows and sliding glass door. As you walk out the door, check to see that the lights, air conditioners, and fans have been turned off. I would REALLY appreciate this. And please lock the door as well.
