Cabo San Lucas's Best Accommodation Secret

Excellent house, with even better location. Stayed there 5 nights with a group of 10. The villa staff was extremely helpful, the maid came everyday and did an incredible job. Could not have been happier with the proximity to the beach and downtown night life. Don't hesitate to stay here.

What a great place to stay! As soon as we booked it, we receive an info packet from Tim with ideas of things to do. That was so helpful.If you are looking for a great place for 3 couples to stay...look no further. We stayed for one week with 3 couples at this house, and it was awesome.The house was fully stocked with everything that we needed in the kitchen to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beds were very comfortable(and I am really picky!), there's plenty of living space for everyone to spread out, the dinning room table was large enough for 8 people, and the washer and dryer are a great plus. The location is great. Really close to everything, but not too close.If you are looking for the best margarita in town go to the Monkey Business Bar. It is the best margarita we have ever had. Made completely from scratch with real fruit. WOW!! We also found an awesome place for $20 per hour massages. What a treat having a massage every afternoon followed by an awesome margarita. We rented a van at the airport for the week and felt very comfortable with having a parking place that was behind a gate and never had to look for parking. We always felt very safe.The house is so close to everything that we only used the van to go grocery shopping, to get back and forth to the airport and for day excursions. The cleaning lady was great. She would come whatever days we wanted her. She did a great job. She even did our laundry. We really wanted to bring her home us us. The property management people met us at the property when we arrived on the first day and showed us around and were very helpful. They showed us how everything worked and where everything was. They even had the cable music channel on with Christmas music....that was odd as it was 80 degrees outside. We will definitely rent this house again, hopefully for longer than one week next time. Thanks for sharing this great house, with a great location with us.....it was a very memorable vacation! Owner response: Craig, I am so glad you had a great time. If you can believe it, I haven't had THAT margarita yet, but will definitely do it next month when I go down. Need to get that massage info too for our future guests. Thanks again, and hope to have you again soon.

i am not the kind of guy who writes reviews, but tim (the owner) is such a great guy, and the casa de mario is such a perfect vacation option, that i want to make sure it continues to be available for rental. The location is ideal for going to the beach,shopping,and dining,( and drinking) downtown. the house has all you need for a relaxing stay. i have rented it on numerous occasions and tim keeps adding new touches. on my recent visit there were new couches in the greatroom, a new gas grill, and a safe in the bedroom. all were very much appreciated. the pool is great for a refreshing dip on a hot day. most importantly. tim, the management team, and lenore (the housekeeper) can always be relied on to handle any problem that may arise. peace of mind on vacation in mexico is a real plus in my book! tim, thanks again and keep up the good work! Owner response: Jeff, Glad to have you and keep coming back! We look forward to taking care of you and your group year after year. Thanks again for the kind words. Sincerely, Tim

We recently stayed at the Casa de Mario to celebrate a 30th birthday and bachelor party. All of us had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the condo. Pictures, descriptions and conversations with the owner were all very accurate. In fact, the accommodations were actually better than expected. Location and amenities were great. Safety never felt like a concern as the house is very secure. The owner of the property had great recommendations for all kinds of great activities and food. Proximity to the nightlife simply can't be beat...close enough to easily walk to and from the bars but still out of the way enough to be peaceful and quiet if need be. I would highly recommend any group of 6 or more people to stay at this house. You will not be disappointed. Owner response: Tony, Glad to hear your trip was a success. Thank you for the kind words and we truly hope to have you and your friends and family come back and stay with us. We are always trying to improve the property and your vacation experience. See you soon, we hope. Thanks again, Tim

This house has it all, location, amenities and an owner who makes sure you enjoy your stay! The staff are incredibly friendly and courteous keeping everything pristine and comfortable, the pool is perfect and the brand new outdoor grill is the best place to grill up your catch of tuna or dorado. This was my first trip to Cabo and having the beach, marina and party district all within an easy walk really made the difference. We had very successful fishing trips catching yellowfin, dorado, wahoo and Striped Marlin! So unfortunately we didn't frequent the many fine-dining restaurants within a two block radius of the house but next time I go I am going to leave the cooking to the cooks! Thanks for the great house Tim and I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this killer deal! Owner response: That's a great report James. I love it when a plan comes together! It really is a great location that allows you to maximize your fun time and minimize your transportation costs. We look forward to having you back again. Thanks, Tim.

Just got back yesterday from my bachelor party weekend with 10 guys. Tim's house had plenty of space to sleep us all very comfortably. The swimming pool, brand new grill and all amenities were just perfect. The kitchen had all the things we needed to cook up huge meals. The house is also super secure & well protected. We all felt very safe. The location is also perfect. Literally just steps away from the beach bars, great off-the-beaten path restaurants and the swanky Nikki Beach Pool Club right next door. Couldn't have asked for a better location and all of Tim's personal recommendations were right on target Owner response: That's a great report Rick. If you do Cabo right, it gets under your skin and you have to go back again and again. That's how we ended up buying there! Glad you had a good time and look forward to taking care of you again.

We brought our kids and their friends (aged 17 - 22) to Cabo for Spring Break and stayed at Casa de Mario. Seven people total. Everything Tim said about the house was absolutely right: great location, great price, great weather. The casa had everything we needed: beach bags and towels for day trips, the City Club two blocks away for stocking the fridge, a home-made travel guide for where to go and what to do, games and movies for early nights in, and much more. Of course, the kids enjoyed the mall - while Mom and Dad enjoyed the casino! We made a big breakfast every morning and went out for fabulous meals at night. We would have paid much more for two or three resort hotel rooms; it was so nice to all be together. I highly recommend Casa de Mario. Owner response: Linda, Thank you for your kind words. We love it too. If you really want to taste Cabo, then this house is a good fit. Hope to have you back soon. Sincerely, Tim

I've stayed twice at this property. The photographs show exactly how comfortable and well-maintained it is. If you want any of the action in Cabo, you'll find the main part of the town is just a few minutes's walk away as are the beach and the port. If you want to be away from the action, the house is private and completly secluded behind high walls and an easy to open gate to allow you to protect a car should you have one, although a car is hardly necessary. I've recommended this house to everyone I can imagine who would enjoy a week or two in Cabo.

I took an extended weekend trip with four friends of mine to Cabo and we stayed at the Casa de Mario. The house was perfect. There was plenty of space and each bedroom had at least two beds. The housekeeper was nice and even washed our clothes. The location is perfect because you are about halfway between Medano Beach (the main beach in town) and the city center where all the nightlife is. This way you end up saving money on cabs because everything is a block or two away. I would recommend this to anyone looking to book a group trip.

Place was absolutely perfect. Only day we needed a car was to go deep sea fishing. A short walk to the beach and the same to the clubs and Marina. Plenty of room for the 6 of us a pool in the back fresh water. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Owner was very helpful as far as setting us up locally as well.

great time was had by all; good food, drinks, weather and company!!!! Your house is set up perfectly for renters - love the writing on the drawers and cabinets. Location, location, location - perfect, perfect, perfect. I enjoyed the walks to Starbucks in the morning for coffee, street vendor down from the fire station had the best hamburgers; may have to return just for a burger. Thank you again!

If you're looking for an alternative to another cookie-cutter hotel room & have between 3-9 people in your group, Tim's house is a fantastic choice in Cabo. As others have mentioned, the location is truly ideal-- just a couple blocks from *the* beach in Cabo with the fancy hotels/fun bars. We had 5 folks in our party, and the 3 upstairs bedrooms (w/a queen + single bed in each) + 3.5 baths were great to give everyone their own space. The upstairs can get a little warm during the afternoon sun, but don't be fooled-- it cools right down at night; we didn't even use the A/C in our bedroom. The main floor has loads of space-- 2 areas with couches + a big table + open kitchen + private pool are all great common areas for socializing with your group. The kitchen had everything needed to whip up some meals/snacks, though we followed Tim's recommendation of breakfast at "The Office" both mornings we were there! To that end, Tim provides a helpful document outlining all of the details about the property & the area, complete with various restaurant tips. The vonage phone at the house was a nice touch to be able to chat w/friends in the States during our stay. The whole place was very clean, and both the maid & pool guy stopped by during our stay. I investigated other house options around Cabo before booking with Tim, but I didn't find anything else that could match this very reasonable price point with your own pool + the ability to walk to all the restaurants/bars in town. If you're worried about not having a property right on the beach, we solved that by negotiating with one of the security guys at the fancy hotel beach clubs & secured lounge chairs on the beach + use of their massive pool all day for $100 pesos-- a much better deal! In summary, definitely worth staying here if you want to be close to all the action in Cabo!
