I was a little hesitant to book this property because of the lack of reviews. But I learned that it is also listed on another site and there are tons of 5 star reviews there. I booked on Vrbo because of the more favorable cancellation policy- but was glad to see all those reviews elsewhere. The condo itself was wonderful and spotlessly clean. But the location is what makes it incredible. First the setting - this condo is in Phase one of Las Mananitas so it directly overlooks the gorgeous oceanfront pool. Our favorite times were spent on the spacious and well appointed balcony looking out at the pool area, and the ocean beyond. The pool area was super quiet and uncrowded- which was perfect for us. If you are looking for excitement, or have kids- this is not the place for you- but we loved it! It is less than 10 minute walk to a huge grocery store (almost like a walmart) and several (very Americanized) shops and restaurants. There are a couple nice, more local restaurants behind/below the Mega grocery. Las Mananitas is in the 'hotel zone"- where basically there are resorts on the ocean side and shops/restaurants on the other side of the road- so lots of restaurants in easy walking distance.. Most are very americanized (have menus in english)- you need to go into downtown San Jose del Cabo (about 2 miles away) for more authentic options. We rented bikes at a shop across from the Royal Decameron and biked into town. A bit uphill on the way home, but not bad. Also Ubers are cheap and easy. We were going to rent a car but decided not to and were happy with our decision. We booked an airport shuttle with All the Time Cabo and were very pleased. We took a day trip to Cabo San Lucas by taking the bus (40 pesos each). The bus stop is very close by but a little tricky to find (ask the security guard at the gate for directions). The only drawback is the beach is not swimmable- but most beaches in the area are not. All in all we loved this place and hope to come back! One other random trip- everywhere takes US dollars- so no need to get pesos. But bring plenty of cash- some places won't take credit cards- and those that do will charge extra.

Very nice and roomy condo with all the amenities. Beautiful pools and landscaping. Would stay there again.
