A cozy suite for two in Rancho Cerro Colorado, featuring a king bed, partial ocean views, a private patio, pool access, and a short walk to secluded Punta Bella Beach.
The Space
For an intimate, elevated stay with modern comforts and sensory delights—without the full resort experience—settle into a lovingly restored original palapa beach house. The home is nestled among palm trees and elegant residences, with private beach access just a few minutes’ walk away.
This soulful sanctuary is ideal for savoring a slower pace, writing a book, or sharing your adventures online. It is designed to feel like coming home to fresh-baked gourmet cookies prepared to soothe your body, heart, and mind.
One of the first homes built in this exclusive residential community, the property dates back to an era when Hollywood’s elite visited to escape the spotlight. It was renovated in 2023 and thoughtfully styled with artistic creations by Latin American designers, along with favorite treasures collected by the co-host during her travels.
Tucked within an enclave of native plants, the private en-suite master bedroom offers a sense of seclusion and includes a dedicated patio. Relax in the luxury king bed while enjoying partial ocean views and the gentle sound of birdsong outside your window.
The cozy, minimalist bedroom features:
- A luxury king mattress
- Frette linens
- A spacious, zen-inspired shower
- Luxury bathroom amenities
- Quiet surroundings for restorative sleep
Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with cheerful natural light. The grand palapa roof helps keep the shared living, dining, and kitchen areas naturally cool, while an individual air-conditioning unit in the bedroom allows you to adjust the temperature to your preference.
The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with complimentary local coffee, artisanal tea blends, and other treats for you to enjoy during your stay. An optional mocktail hour may be offered on your first evening, providing an opportunity to connect with the co-host and other guests.
As the home’s amenities continue to expand, your suggestions are welcome. Please share any needs or ideas that could make future stays even more enjoyable.
Guest Access
Along with your private en-suite master bedroom, you will have access to the following shared spaces and amenities:
- Communal living and dining areas
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Outdoor space
- Swimming pool
- Ceramic barbecue
- Outdoor dining area
A staircase just steps from the home leads to majestic Punta Bella Beach, which is only a few minutes’ walk away. Tucked away from the public, the beach offers peaceful walks with very few people around, aside from pelicans flying overhead. At the right time of year, you may also see whales and their calves playing in the sea.
A second private bedroom and bathroom are also available to rent. Details can be found at airbnb.com/h/jewelboxbythesea.
During Your Stay
The co-host, Gladys, lives on the property with her small, regal pup, Lovebug. She will be available to help create a deeply restorative stay while respecting your need for privacy and personal time.
Before your arrival, Gladys will contact you to learn how she can help shape the experience you desire.
Other Things to Note
This communal home encourages intimate conversations, personal reflection, and meaningful celebrations with fellow travelers and the co-host who lives on the property.
To support unplugging and being more present, there is no television. Wi-Fi is available whenever you want to share a great poolside photo on your Instagram story.
Because the property is located in a residential community, nearby construction may occasionally be audible. Construction hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Before arrival, you will receive a menu of curated experiences offering an insider’s perspective on life in Baja. Options may include:
- Meeting the creative people behind local boutiques, cafés, and restaurants
- Exploring nearby natural attractions unknown to many tourists
- Enjoying a private VIP session designed to ignite your creativity
You will leave refreshed by a restorative experience unlike those typically found at other rentals.

What a gift and a privilege to spend a few (too few!) days here. An absolute jewel of a home, so thoughtfully curated, and set within a gorgeous, tranquil community. I awoke to the sounds of birdsong and waves crashing at the nearby beach, and loved browsing the gardens daily. Gladys is a warm and attentive host, generous with recommendations, local history and her delightful personality. All creature comforts have been considered and provided, from welcome snacks to lovely linens and bath potions. As I share her love of beautiful objects, it was a treat to notice them at every turn. In truth (aside from cloning Lovebug), I cannot think of anything I'd improve upon. Hope to return!

Gladys & Jackie are wonderful hosts. We were fortunate to spend four days here at the home - they have created an oasis, a slice of paradise in a very magical location. The sweet we stayed in was wonderful, very nicely equipped with a super comfy bed and linens, lots of special touches such as the herbal sugar scrub, or the dried rose leafs to make "Rose Tea". Everything about the home is designed to make you feel at home and special. Each morning, we watched the whales swimming in the sea of cortez while we ate our conchas (Mexican pastry) and drank coffee on the terrace. We loved it and hope to be back again in the near future. Thank you both!

We couldn’t have found a better place to stay for our vacation in Cabo! This home was a gem tucked away in a gorgeous, gated community walking distance to private stretches of beach and right in the middle of everything we wanted to do between Los Cabos and San Jose. The home was a charming, tranquil experience with so many treasures to explore and share. We felt right at home and incredibly comfortable in our private space as well as the shared areas of the home (which most of the time felt all our own!) Gladys is an incredibly valuable asset to have close by as a local to ease any worries or give great recommendations for your day. Her and Lovebug were a treat to meet and we looked forward to catching up with them each day when we could. This was the perfect blend of affordability and luxury in an otherwise area of single family villa living that we just didn’t need for only 2 people. We would recommend highly!

Spent a few incredibly relaxing days at Casa Candelaria. Creative design touches both inside and outside the casa make you feel like you're staying at a boutique hotel. The Zen room gets amazing sunlight and includes a sweet patio to sip your morning coffee and enjoy the ocean view. Sunsets and moon risings were stunning from the property! The beach was steps away and felt nearly private. Continue beyond the main beach for another gorgeous, long stretch of beach. Gladys was a delightful host and provided many great recommendations for day trips and dining. This place was perfect for a peaceful getaway! Will definitely be coming back!

Honour yourself and spend a few days at Casa Candelaria. Upon arrival, Gladys welcomed us with the warmth of an old friend. This is not house…this is a home with a soul. There’s an easiness to the communal spaces which inspired us to cook, relax, unwind and live in this space. Gladys and her adorable pup Lovebug flow in and out like the tide, with a great sense of timing and respect. The gardens and outdoor spaces are truly designed with love and intention providing comfortable, quiet spaces to rest and reflect or enjoy a cocktail after a glorious day at the beach. We loved the spacious, clean and beautifully styled Cozy Zen Suite, including an amazing circular shower, walkout patio and insanely comfortable king sized bed with plenty of natural light and views of the sea. We left feeling rested, inspired and awake - knowing that we will return again one day.

This Airbnb in Cabo is a true gem! The artistic touches throughout the space create a vibrant and unique atmosphere. The sea view is simply breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The ocean waves are a 5 min walk down the stairs. The host's attention to detail is evident in every corner, making it a cozy and aesthetically pleasing retreat. A perfect blend of comfort and creativity, this place exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the tranquility of this seaside haven.
