Secret Garden Luxurious Palapa Home

We had a fantastic stay at the Secret Garden. The view was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed the privacy of the location and being able to listen to the waves crashing at night. Autumn was a wonderful host, very welcoming and attentive to any needs we had!

Our secret garden experience was excellent all around. Would highly recommend!

This was living in an artist’s dream! 😍 We have stayed and experienced quite a few Airbnb’s, but this was just pulling and tying together all the strings to make it the best ⭐️ Tropical and beach vibes, breezy open living, a house filled with artwork (of the host’s mother) and collected treasures, including carefully handwritten recipes on musky smelling sheets of paper. Autumn was such a great host, very responsive, helpful and accommodating, highly recommend renting the whole place to get the full experience.

Autumn's palapa in San Jose del Cabo is a truly magical place with beautiful gardens, spectacular views, and an absolutely lovely pool. The location is super convenient and there's plenty to go and do, but if you're like us, you'll find yourself just wanting to spend from sunrise to sunset enjoying the pool and palapa. We played cards, did puzzles, soaked, ate delicious food, drank coffee, soaked some more. It was pure bliss. Autumn set up a local chef named Wendy to come and cook for us and those were some of our most memorable moments. Wendy made a traditional Mexican breakfast complete with jugo verde and jugo de naranja (green and orange juice) and then came back the next day to make us an incredible dinner. She made steak fajitas, shrimp stuffed chile rellenos, enchiladas, rice, beans, and then made the most delicious homemade churros with chocolate. Autumn's mom is a talented artist and we felt so fortunate to be surrounded by her art- including the art that is the palapa and surrounding buildings. Be sure to experience the outdoor shower, my parents considered their shower under the stars to be a once-in-a-lifetime cool experience!

El lugar es de otro mundo, un oasis dentro del desierto, el lugar increíble, fabuloso, la hospitalidad fue de otro mundo, me trataron como a un rey, súper recomendado!!!

Although we knew we had booked an exceptional home, we could not have anticipated just how lovely it would be. Simply wonderful in every way.

The beauty of the Secret Garden was beyond our expectations. So many magical pathways lead to new wonders – golden eggs, fairy lights, white rabbits, and stunning sea views. Our children were transfixed by the everyday magic it offered from sunrise to sunset – it was hard to tear them away from the pool and the grounds -- and they often begged to sleep under the stars. All elements of the civilized world were still there – high pressure showers, laundry facilities, state of the art BBQ, wireless speakers to set it all to music – but you still felt swept away from the hustle and bustle of the real world (although it was a 2 min drive to the beach and town center.) Autumn was the perfect hostess and always willing to help with great recommendations– be it surf school, snorkelling or restaurants (don’t miss Flora Farms!) Highly recommended.

If you could imagine a place that would be described as heaven on earth, this is it. The gardens, birds and butterflies are as much a part of the home as the home is part of the environment. The view is spectacular, the amenities are well thought out and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. This is a place that feeds your soul. The artwork done by the host is gorgeous and other pieces of art are beautifully placed throughout the entire area. If you ever do leave this beautiful home, there are stores very nearby as well as a lot of local restaurants and other conveniences. I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful, healing secret garden home.

Great house, hospitality and location! Tons of room to relax in, great for families. Very good option for 3 couples. Not a hotel room, the property is very unique in that 2 of the beds and all 3 of the bathrooms are open air (very clean, private and very few bugs) but you have to be comfortable with the idea. You will not find a better ocean experience in San Jose and a house that can give you the room and privacy to really relax.
