We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Cortez! The home and pool were both beautiful, and we always felt very safe thanks to the two gated entrances before reaching the villa. The layout was perfect for our family, with three bedrooms on the lower level and the primary suite on the main floor, giving everyone plenty of space and privacy. One of the highlights of our stay was the housekeeper. She was incredibly kind, thorough, and attentive. She made sure every room was cleaned each day while also being respectful of our space, working around us whenever we happened to be at the house. There were a couple of minor disappointments. The ice maker wasn’t working, so we had to purchase ice from the grocery store throughout our stay. We were also informed after arriving that the outdoor fire pits, which were featured in the listing, were not available for guest use. It would have been nice to know both of these things before check- in. Overall we had a wonderful week and would recommend it!

Absolutely perfect in every way! This was, without question, the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. The house was even more amazing than we could have hoped for and honestly exceeded every expectation. Beautiful, comfortable, incredibly well appointed, and absolutely perfect for our stay in Cabo. The pictures do not even fully capture how special this home is. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found somewhere truly exceptional. I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about Celeste. She went above and beyond throughout our entire stay to make sure we had absolutely everything we needed. Her communication was amazing, she was incredibly responsive, and she genuinely cared about making sure every part of our experience was perfect from beginning to end. She anticipated our needs, checked in on us, and made us feel completely taken care of without ever being intrusive. Celeste is truly extraordinary and played such a huge part in making this one of the most memorable

Incredible place tucked away behind a second gated street of a handful of home overlooking the ocean within an already gated neighborhood. Felt very secure and very quiet. The beach is a short walk down a walkway directly behind the home. Nice private beach only accessible from the neighborhood. We rarely saw more than a dozen others in it with us. One caveat is the beach is a mixture of sand and small gravel. Not the softest but a pair of water shoes did the trick to keep from being bothersome. Also, while you could get in the water it wasn’t all that swimmable for my children. We took a couple excursions to other beaches. Cerritos Beach being the a fan favorite for its more rustic/under developed nature and great sandy beach and swimmable ocean with some amazing surf to watch some incredible surfers do their thing.

This house blew us away. It is so much more luxurious and spacious than it looks in the pictures. It was a wonder wandering out from the upstairs bedroom every morning. Sitting by the pool watching the boats pass by during our morning coffee and evening beverages was so cool. Never had to wait long for an uber - 2-3 minutes - although you do need to be clear on the address and house name. Ronnie and all the staff were all amazing to deal with and helped make our trip special - even helping source birthday balloons and more at short notice. If you are looking for a special home, in a private and secure location, a short uber ride from Cabo San Lucas and a fabulous team behind it - then this is it.

Our recent stay at Casa de Cortez was absolutely incredible — and just as amazing as we remembered from our first visit! This was our second time staying here, and it truly felt like home. The location is perfect — close to everything you need, yet peaceful and private enough to fully relax and unwind. The access to the private beach is unbeatable, making morning walks and sunset views feel exclusive. The endless pool and hot tub are simply stunning. Whether you swim or relax under the stars, the setting is breathtaking. What truly sets Casa de Cortez apart, though, is the hospitality. The host is incredibly gracious and accommodating, ensuring every detail is taken care of. The staff went above and beyond throughout our stay — warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our experience exceptional. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The house itself is beautiful and the views are excellent!! The pictures do not do it justice!! The only reason for the 3-star rating instead of 5 stars is the extremely loud construction noise right across the street during the day, which significantly impacted our stay and often forced us to leave the house just to escape the noise. It appears the construction should be ending soon, so this will be a great option once it is fully completed.

This is a great location with amazing views. The property is well secured with multiple gates. The private beach is a short walk away. To get to the marina it’s a short 10 minute drive. The team is very responsive for any needs that pop up during your stay.

Casa Cortez was great. The house is perfect for our trip. Celleste was always available when needed, and did a wonderful job. Omar and his wife cooked a few meals, and wish we would have done it more. The food was excellent. Location is perfect ( no need for rental car) 10-15 minute to Marina in Cabo or 15-20 to San Jose. Highly recommend
