For most people, the idea of a visit to Los Cabos conjures images of warm sun, vast vistas of blue sea, fresh and local cuisine; and a simpler, slower-paced life. Many differ among San Jose de Cabo and Cabo San Lucas—each with its own character and attractions–are dream destinations for travelers all over the world. However, for those who are choosing a Cabo property as an investment or residence, there are far more things to consider than just hotels, nightlife, and the best beaches.
How accessible is the location? Is there life beyond the typical tourist season? How will I fit into the community? Many international residents believe that Cabo’s location, environment, year-round activities, and unique culture and community make it the perfect choice for a primary residence or second home.
Each client of mine is unique and finding their ideal home is always a challenge I fully enjoy. I recently had the privilege of assisting a family to find their second home. Having already been to Cabo and experienced different areas, they had extensive knowledge regarding the real estate market and a clear vision of what they wanted and whatnot.
As we got to know each other, we were able to define their ideal budget, architectural style, décor, and dream lifestyle - we also embarked on our search together over phone conversations and virtual tours. After I previewed every home that fit within their parameters we were able to choose their top 5.
All located within the private community Pedregal - a beachfront community with lots of elevation, offering big ocean views from many angles. The location is very popular because it is close to the marina and the Cabo San Lucas downtown areas. Other amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, spa, fitness room, organic market, 24/7 guarded/gated, and (semi) private beach.

“The location, the style, the feeling you get when you walk through the door – every aspect of your home should be a reflection of who you are, where you’ve been, and the life you aspire to live.”
My client's ideal Cabo retreat was to also be a secure investment, being a second home the villa could easily be rented while not being used by owners, thus ensuring an additional income. I then partnered with the vast experience of a renowned property management and rental company to study the market, demand, and then again evaluate the options.
This thorough analysis brought the options down to two possible homes. The clients chose their dream Cabo villa and placed an offer, as a result of solid negotiating, they received a 25% discount from the original list price. We were all thrilled!
The most important thing for me was that the clients were very happy with their decision and I made the transaction simple and easy for them. This can happen when clients reach out with their wants and needs - so I can then take my pro-active approach, consequently, we are able to achieve our goals in a shorter amount of time.
I don’t sell “houses” to my clients; I help my clients find their perfect HOME! I work with young couples looking to buy their first Cabo condo, the family that seeks a different quality of life abroad, and the empty nesters looking for somewhere to retire now that the kids are gone.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than finding you a place to call home. Regardless of price or size, all my clients receive my best-in-class services in finding your perfect Baja INVESTMENT.
There are other good areas around Pedregal that offer similar accessibility and rental potential.
Hacienda beach club and residences are one of those
These beachfront condos and homes sit directly in front of Medano Beach, the most popular beach in Los Cabos. If your style is more service-oriented,
Auberge Residences in the exclusive and Renowned Esperanza could be an option. These residences provide all the services from the hotel in the privacy of your own residence. Let’s not forget the excellent rental potential available as well.
