The property itself was wonderful. We had a great stay. The only negative thing would be the musty smell in the main living area and the master bedroom. The second bedroom was fine. I bought a can of Lysol at the market and sprayed a few times daily. It may be the air conditioning unit. We never opened the sliding door in the bedroom but there is a faulty air conditioner switch in the master bedroom, it kept turning off at random times at night. I put a broom stick in the sliding door to keep it in place to keep the air running. That seemed to take care of the problem.

We had a great stay! The customer service was excellent. The location was perfect, right on the beach!

If you're looking for privacy and a quiet setting, this is your place. The resort and condo's are amazing! If you're looking for an upbeat pool/resort setting this is not your place. The resort is now private and neighboring resort guests are not allowed to use the resort, though we could go to the Palmar next door. There is no noise allowed and there was no music allowed at the pool. This made for a relaxing atmosphere for me, not so much for my teens. They spent most of their time at the Palmar next door. All in all a very nice property.

Beautiful and quiet

Only issue was they were doing some construction and noise was pretty loud (jackhammer) but know it couldn’t be helped. We will stay here again in the future.

This condo is situated on the ground floor, with the pools and fitness center steps away. It also comes fully stocked with kitchen utensils, everything you may need for a bbq and blended drinks at the beach. Can’t wait to come back to this slice of paradise.

The stay here was awesome. It's literally 10 steps to the pool from the patio. Similarly to the fitness center. We stayed here with our four kids and it was perfect. We could easily nip backwards and forwards to the pool. Ring concierge if we had anything we needed. We needed a crib and a wine bottle opener and the responded quickly. Decor and furnishings are all nice. A/C lovely.

Competitively priced and location is the die for.

This was our first trip to Cabo, we were 5 ladies celebrating a 50th Birthday. Once we arrived to Villa la Estancia, I knew we made the right choice! Rick’s condo was beautiful, comfortable and being on the ground floor was so nice we could just walk out the gate right to pool, beach and gym. The resort is beautiful and right on the beach with views of the arches. We felt safe, even walked into town one day. I plan on staying here the next time I come to Cabo! Thanks Rick!

Rick's property is awesome and Rick was very responsive to my emails. We traveled with 2 teenage boys (14 and 17) and they totally were into the set-up of the 2nd bedroom , which is adjoined by an outsoor foyer. Great feature if traveling with another couple. The pictures on this site are exactly the way the property looks...no staging. Unit comes equipped with just about anything you need to be comfortable and settle in, including some board games and puzzles when you need some down time. We liked the idea of being on the ground floor and able to walk out the door and be at the pool or fitness center. As far as the resort itself, it is totally high-end. From the moment we were greeted, the staff was nothing but helpful. The resort is pristine. Drinks and food available poolside were really good and reasonably priced. The ability to use the facilities/restaurants at the adjoining Villa del Palmar and del Arco a plus. Nice market on site as well. Although we were traveling at the height of spring break, the resort was filled with families families and couples, as opposed to groups of "spring breakers". Property is approximately 1 mile from town, which I felt a positive traveling with teens. You can walk down the beach (but will be hustled the entire way) or it's a straight shot down the road. Daily, we'd walk into town and taxi'd back in the evening ($10 fare). We would definitely try to stay at Rick's place again when we return to Cabo.

That's how my mother-in-law described Rick's condo and she wasn't exaggerating. This place has it all. Conveniently located on the ground floor within a few steps to the pool and health club, 20 minute walk to the marina and pier. If you rent a car as we did parking was a breeze. A short walk through a side door next to the condo and you were in the parking lot. Great for bringing in groceries and coming back from dinner in town or short day trips. A few feet from the beach and the outdoor hot tubs (overlooking the ocean). As far is the condo is concerned...top shelf all the way. New stainless steel appliances, fully outfitted kitchen with all the utensils you need to cook up a great meal, outdoor barbeque grill which we used to grill fresh caught Dorado and Tuna. Three full bathrooms which was more than enough for our group of 6. L'Occitane En Provence toiletries with Shea butter found in some of the finest hotels in the world and yes we noticed and appreciated it. Both bedrooms were large and accommodating. Each had a sliding door for easy access to the gated patio. Great for when you want to hit the shower after a swim and not have to go through the main living space. The furniture both inside and outside was top quality. What you'd expect in your own home. The bedding and linen was all cotton, comfortable, and replaced every other day or so by housekeeping. There is also a washer and dryer on the premises which is helpful if you want to pack light. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the awesome staff. Everyone from the gatekeeper to the concierge, to the waiters and waitresses, bell hop, maid service, beach waiters, maintenance workers, staff at the gym/spa, grocery store etc. were all their to make your stay as carefree and pleasurable as possible. And it was genuine. They would go out of their way to accommodate your every request. I'll wrap this up by saying this...If you find yourself as fortunate as I in having stumbled on to Rick's condo, look no further this is the place for you. Chances are that if you mark it as a favorite and come back, it will be gone.

The property was beautiful. Rick was very helpful and great to work with. Our expectations were exceeded on every level. We loved the condo's proximity to the pool. The huge patio was awesome too. After hitting The Office, Sleepless Lobster, María Jiménez, Taquiza and some taco joints, we got a little tired of eating out, so we utilized the well equipped kitchen and BBQ grill on the porch. We took a taxi to Walmart, loaded up on breakfast items and carne asada and did some of our own cooking. We spent our days boating, deep sea fishing, jet skiing, swimming in the Sea of Cortez, getting $20 75 minute massages on the beach and just relaxing in the pool. It was a great 8 days for our family. We look forward to coming back.

I never realized how nice it would be to be on the ground floor. We have stayed at Estancia 3 times and this was the first time at Rick's villa. The Villa was very nice and very affordable. We paid more the previous times we went and all were comparable to this Villa. Having the pool and beach right outside your door is fabulous. Rick's Villa was stocked with pantry items and liquor that others have left behind. We left a few things behind as well. My only small complaint is the mattresses in the lock out unit (2 Queen beds) are in need of a replacement. They are starting to sag in the middle. But still comfortable. If you book this Villa, you will be back. Thank you Rick for letting us enjoy your Villa.

It was an amazing place to stay for our first trip to Cabo! The staff, the service, hospitality, all first class. Looking forward to a return trip next year!

This is the third time we've stayed at Estancia, and the second time at this unit. We have had the good fortune to stay at many great places, including five star hotels, and my wife and I both feel that this is the best place that we have ever stayed. Our particular unit is the least expensive one that I could find anywhere in this complex, and the owner Rick is very helpful and usually quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I like being on the ground floor for ease of access, but the higher floors have somewhat nicer views. All of the units in this complex are beautiful, with views of the ocean and Los Arcos. The rooms are very spacious, and having the second bedroom attached but separate is very nice for privacy from/for our kids. With many excellent restaurants, pools, and bars between the three complexes (Palmar and Arco ar the other two - less expensive but not quite as elegant), you don't ever have to leave. Downtown Cabo is a brief cab ride or about a 20-30 minute walk along the beach, with endless other activities to do and see. We will definitely keep coming back!

The condo greatly exceeded our expectations. It was truly amazing. Thank you

This was mine and my familys first time staying in Cabo, and won't be the last! This condo was much more than we expected, beautifully furnished and just everything you could possibly need to make a vacation perfect. Being on the ground floor made it very convenient for the younger kids going in and out to the pool. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Cabo, restaurants were all close enough to walk and offered a nice selection, we also tried the spa, snorkeling and zip line, great fun!
