Casa Candelaria in San Jose del Cabo offers serene ocean views, private pool, and stylish suites in a lush, secluded enclave. Perfect for creative escapes and peaceful beach walks.
Overview
Casa Candelaria offers a peaceful retreat to embrace a slower pace of life, focus on creative projects, or enjoy solo adventures. Located in a serene oasis of palm trees and upscale residences in San Jose del Cabo, this vibrant home provides private access to Palmilla Sur beach just a short walk away. The residence is thoughtfully designed to inspire artistic expression, luxurious comfort, and meaningful connection—like returning to the warmth of freshly baked gourmet cookies for your body, heart, and mind.
The Space
Casa Candelaria was among the first homes built in the exclusive Rancho Cerro Colorado community, dating back to a time when Hollywood elites sought refuge from the spotlight. This charming original palapa-roofed beach house was lovingly restored in 2023 and styled to showcase the artistic works of Latin American designers alongside unique treasures collected by the co-host during her travels.
Nestled within a private enclave of native plants, the home offers a sense of seclusion while providing peekaboo ocean views and the gentle sounds of birdsong. Relax by your private pool and enjoy abundant natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. The grand palapa roof covering the living, dining, and kitchen areas helps keep the interior naturally cool.
The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for savoring complimentary local coffee, artisanal tea blends, and other treats provided during your stay.

What a soothing journey it has been to enjoy Mother Nature in your piece of Paradise Gladys! We left a piece of our heart in Casa Candelaria and our footprint on the beach… Thank you for everything from start to finish and in between. We felt the LOVE in your house and you nurtured us even before arriving. Now back at home we still are experiencing the call of the whales and missing the chirping of the birds Muchas gracias por todo!

Pure Magic!!! When our family goes on vacation, I do a lot of research to find the perfect escape! When I stumbled across Casa Candelaria, I knew we had to book it! Upon arrival, it not only confirmed my gut feeling, it surpassed it! This home is truly a perfect slice of heaven! You can feel the love poured into this home…it exudes comfort, peace and the coolest vibe! It’s an escape to truly enjoy and soak up nature and all the beauty around you…to unplug from the world and appreciate being present. The first morning, I enjoyed sitting on the beach watching the sunrise. That memory will forever be etched in my mind. And from there, the rest of the week spent at Casa Candelaria will be etched in our hearts! Thank you Gladys & Jackie for sharing this magical space! To anyone looking to reflect, recharge and reset, don’t hesitate - book now! I’m counting the days we can return! 🥰

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Candelaria! The house is gorgeous, peaceful, and filled with beautiful details that made it feel like home. Gladys and Jackie were incredible hosts, going above and beyond, especially as I’m eight months pregnant. They made our stay truly special with thoughtful gestures, and our dog was welcomed like royalty with treats, bowls, and a toy, something we’ve only experienced in luxury hotels. The AC works great, the bed was super comfortable, and the space felt serene and relaxing. A few notes: the home isn’t directly beachfront—it’s a short, steep walk with only partial ocean views. Also, while we were told the beach was swimmable, currents were too strong, and we were advised to drive five minutes to a public beach. A local guard said it’s often unsafe for swimming. There was also noticeable construction noise from trucks and nearby houses during our stay. Still, Casa Candelaria is stunning, unique, and we’d absolutely love to return!

We had the most lovely stay and Jacqueline's property. It's truly a gem of a place and we felt right at home. We fully enjoyed the location, pool, fully equipped kitchen, thoughtful touches, and incredibly comfortable bed. Don't hesitate booking for a specially curated stay.

We had a perfect stay! The house was as beautiful and peaceful as it looked in the pictures. We had practically the whole private beach to ourselves. The recommendations for restaurants was so helpful and all meals were AMAZING. It was an easy, relaxing and enjoyable vacation from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I’ve been contemplating for days about what to say to succinctly describe how much I genuinely enjoyed my time at Casa Candelaria. From the initial photos, to the host’s communication, to the warm welcome we received, my anticipation was building and my expectations were high. Well, there are not enough ways for me to explain how much literally everything was exceeded exponentially. This was one of the best weeks of my entire life! Surrounded by palatial properties all throughout the subdivision, this cozy palapa is a refreshing gem of epic proportions. Luxurious finishes, well-appointed, thoughtful touches, and just a 3 minute walk to the beach, I felt more at home here than my own home (which I happen to love very much!). Thank you ladies for creating the most magical experience in a gorgeous location. I genuinely cannot wait to come back!

Truly my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. We had an amazing time hanging out by the pool, cooking breakfast, and enjoying the private beach. The host went above and beyond to accommodate. We will definitely be back and I have referred this property to many people already!
