You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Villa De Cortez * Beachfront* *In Town* *White Sandy Beaches*

Luxurious 2nd floor beachfront villa #1203 invites you to walk out your door to the white sand beach and refreshing pool. This property along with its sister property, Palmas de Cortez resort, are recognized as “ the place to stay ’’ in Los Barriles.

We are located in the heart of the quaint fishing village of Los Barriles, Baja California Sur and within walking distance to shops, grocery stores and wonderful restaurants. Due to our central location, no rental car is necessary and transportation is available to and from the San Jose del Cabo and La Paz airport.

We have been told by our return guests that we have the nicest, most private unit in our complex, both for location and amenities.

Our villa is approximately 600 sq. feet in size. There is a king size bed, sectional couch, dining table for 2, full kitchen with walk in shower. We have central air conditioning as well as ceiling fans. All new bedding and pillows.

An out door shower is provided for your return from the beach. This villa is perfect for singles or couples.

It is beautifully appointed with marble countertops, marble floors and stainless steel appliances.

Enjoy a new flat screen smart TV so you can log into your favorite app or watch the free DISH HDTV.

Our villa comes with *free* wireless internet service in our unit, so bring your laptop and stay connected while you're away.

We recently installed a reverse osmosis water filtration system. No more buying water!

The Villa de Cortez complex has a private beachfront infinity edge pool with swim up bar plus separate hot tub and small children's pool. There is also a nine hole executive golf course adjacent to the property. The Van Wormer's new restaurant, the Bay View (formerly Solomon's Landing) is located between the Villa de Cortez and the Palmas de Cortez resorts. The food is excellent and you can't beat the view! Be sure to ask about their Daily happy hour.

The East Cape is world famous for its sport fishing and is considered to be the 'fishing capital of the world'. Fishing charters are available just steps away at the adjoining hotel Palmas de Cortez owned and operated by Van Wormer resorts. Don't fish? You can charter a boat for a day of sight seeing, whale watching, diving or snorkeling right next door.

For those of you that kite surf or wind surf, you can go right out to the beach from the villa and take off. No need to walk or drive to north beach.

Guests are invited to use the amenities at the Palmas de Cortez which include a day spa,(the best massage i've ever had), tennis courts, gym and a variety of water and outdoor activities such as jet skiing, kayaking or shore fishing and ATV rentals.

Cabo Pulmo, with world renowned diving and snorkeling, is just an hour south. You can rent an ATV within walking distance so you can explore the miles of roads and trails that lead to deserted beaches or down an arroyo up into the mountains. A day trip to Santiago, 30 minutes away, provides waterfalls, hot springs, and authentic mexican pueblo charm.

You will fall in love with this town and the people just as we did. Not only are the locals friendly and accommodating but you will feel safe and secure in a luxurious environment with all the flavor of old Mexico.

If you want a little more excitement, you can drive south about 90 minutes to Cabo San Lucas and go see Sammy Hagar's famous Cabo Wabo. After a day in 'the city', you'll be anxious to get back to the serenity and relaxation of Los Barriles.

Great vibe in LB. We met our friends there who were staying in the same building but on the ground floor and who have stayed numerous times. They knew their way around LB - restaurants, bars, road trips, sport fishing etc. So it made it really easy. LB is a very chill place compared to many of the more well known tourist destinations in Mexico. Great beach, snorkelling in the morning was outstanding (wind/wave or higher tide build up can obscure the visibility in the afternoon) 1200 meters walk south on the beach. All kinds of kite/wind/sail sports available there and I wish we had tried some but not enough time on this trip. Kelli is an outstanding host. Villa was great, very well equipped. Can’t really think of anything apart from perhaps a bit more vertical hanging space for clothes. But arguably, we brought too much luggage - big surprise for us…not. Really nice to have the reverse osmosis fresh water system. Once we got in the rhythm of filling a jug(s) and refrigerating it we were golden. Kelli was very responsive to all questions and got back to us in minutes for any questions. We are definitely interested in returning. We HIGHLY recommend Kelli, their villa and LB in general.

This was such a great place to stay. It was our first stay in this area of the baja and end up being the perfect location to everything. I loved that the villa pools were private to the villas. It never felt crowded. Kelli gave us great info before coming which made out stay better. She was also awesome with communication as was the grounds keeper. We would stay here again.

We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Unobstructed Ocean Front Condo
It was love at first sight! Everything was above and beyond our expectations upon arrival. Our flights were delayed in the states. As a result, we arrived in the evening. We contacted our host, Kelli and she immediately helped us to rearrange our transportation for the next day. Our driver was there waiting. He provided a cooler with ice and took us to gather a few staples at the nearest grocery store before our drive to Los Barriles. The van was comfortable and air coniditioned. Exhausted, we walked into our sparkling clean unit so perfectly arranged, took a look at the unobstructed view of the sea from our varanda and fell in love! Everything was as described and whatever we needed was at our fingertips, even Kelli, with her quick response to our text messages. She answered all our questions including providing additional tourist information on nearby attractions. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including spices. It has a full sized refrigerator, and best of all, a brand new reverse osmosis water system!! This was very important to us as it decreases the need to buy plastic water bottles and we drink a lot of water! The dishwasher wasn't working during our visit and we couldn't care less. Everything else was so fabulous! The unit was accurately described! We especially loved our daily dose of the sunrise! We read about the sunrise in other reviews, bottom line, it's breathtaking! I even brought eye mask, thinking I would sleep in. However, I became addicted! Because, each morning, the sun uniquely rises for your eyes to behold. That is beyond words! We couldn't miss a day. We drank our coffee and did our morning meditations and journaling every day of our visit!! Since we were there for a month, it was fun to meet others. Every single person we encountered on the property and in the local stores and restaurants were happy and friendly! The front desk at the hotel was also helpful in answering any of our questions, gave us directions and helped us to rent a car. We tried all the places suggested by Kelli and loved. This was our first time out of our country for a month and we absolutely LOVED our home away from home. We could not find one negative thing to say about our stay and experience. We can't wait to come back! One last thing, the laundry service!! Five US dollars per load! We sent your clothes out and they came back warm and folded with a sweet fresh smell. Just, Wow! We loved every little thing!

Check in process was effortless. Villa was gorgeous inside and out. Stunning views of pool deck, beach, sea. Two pools were a 5 min walk down the steps, including an infinity/zero entry pool with swim up bar. Kitchen and bathroom well-stocked with everything we needed. Pedro (maintenance man) introduced himself and was friendly and available. Beach and sea a 5 min. Walk away. Great snorkeling right out front!! Villas are a short walk to the center of town for groceries, tourist shops, restaurants. We definitely enjoyed our first visit to Los Barriles, and can’t wait to return!

Can't cover everything
This is a really nice property, very secure, with great views from the sliding door window. I realize that it's tough to catch all the little things when managing a property long-distance but here are some of the things we found. 1. The TV and Dish controllers both had battery corrosion, the Dish controller did not work at all. I bought some AAA batteries, cleaned and replaced the batteries in the Dish controller and reprogrammed it to control the TV. The TV controller still needs to be cleaned up and batteries replaced. 2. The bathroom vanity lights are intermittent, The day we left only the far right bulb illuminated. 3. The bed has a broken support board on the frame - makes a lot of noise when the outside person moves in certain ways,. 4. There is only 1 towel set for showers. Really needs 2 so you can alternate and hang try effectively. 5. The condo is really a studio, OK for 2 people but would be very awkward and crowded with 3. It's only about 600 sq ft. 6. Be VERY careful with the hot water, it's almost boiling temp! Other thoughts: 1. The pool was really warm, not really very refreshing. We swam in the ocean to cool off, which was very nice.There's a nice sandy area just to the north of the beach access gate (near the portable boat dock) where you don't have to wade out on rock. 2. Los Barriles is really a "fishing village" with limited resources and activities. If you don't like to fish, maybe pick another place. Overall: We had a great time and the town was worth at least a single visit. The fishing, snorkeling, and swimming was fun but the restaurants and activities I felt were a little disappointing - we actually ended up cooking our own dinners 3 of the 7 evenings we were there because we found the restaurants to be mid-quality and expensive. (Actually, there are no bargains in this town, most of prices were close to what we pay in the US). We travel to different sites in Baja every year, so it's off to Loreto next year. We may return to Los Barriles sometime in the distant future but it won't be on a regular basis.

The condo was easily accessible to town but far enough away to be quiet. Everything was great, condo well appointed. Only "small" complaint is the the bed pillows were pretty hard/uncomfortable. The bed was comfortable although located against a wall so person on wall side had to crawl over to get out. Pedro, the manager, was very available and helpful.
