We had an amazing stay and would definitely come back! The home is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and exactly as pictured. Located in a safe, gated community, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house is spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen is so well equipped that it actually makes you want to cook! 😊 We loved spending time by the infinity pool, enjoying the ocean views and the beautiful Cabo scenery. The location is excellent, peaceful and quiet, yet close to resorts, great restaurants, and just a short drive from San José del Cabo, one of our favorite towns to visit. The owner was wonderful to work with, friendly, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions. We truly enjoyed our stay and appreciate all the hospitality. We highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area. It exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return!

Karime’s place was beautiful and had everything we wanted. We felt very safe in the complex and watched whales from the deck every morning. Everyone loved the pool and the pool was very safe for kids. The closest beach is a 20 minute walk near the JW Marriot but not swimable. Recommend renting a car to go any where. The Marina district nearby has a coffee shop and a few restaurants. Highly recommend and definitely would stay here again.

Our family had an exceptional stay at Porto La Mar! We highly recommend this vacation home. Karime is an outstanding host and her home is every bit as beautiful as the photos - accurately described and well appointed. We are a family of 8, including children, who were celebrating a very special milestone. We cooked someThis home has plenty of space to spread out and have some private, down time and very accessible to everything in Cabo. We felt safe there. Even though the pool is not deep enough for diving, the kids swam 4-5 times a day. It’s perfect for lounging adults too, with fabulous views. Karime offered to turn up the pool heat, but - we’re Canadian, lol! She also responded promptly and professionally to the occasional hiccup or question. We loved eating our meals outside at the patio table and there really are whales to be seen! It’s also worth walking to the nearest beach, for exploring, watching the pelicans and the whales up close. Thanks Karime - we loved our stay!

El Portal am Mar in Puerto Los Cabos was exquisite and everything we needed, surpassed our expectations and even better than pictures or words could describe! The layout of the kitchen, pool and dining made shared meals so special and open to the outside. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us and our adult children, privacy, comfort and extremely clean. We enjoyed the walk to the beach. We rented a car which was helpful to get to the marina area and San Jose Centro. The pool was gorgeous and refreshing on hot days with plenty of room for all of us. We also enjoyed the living room in the basement with the tv. We would stay here again 100%!

Karime’s home is beautiful and well kept. The views are amazing. The grounds keepers were very respectful of our privacy. We felt very comfortable and safe. Although our one issue was not resolved, the communication was good and efforts were made to resolve it. Overall, we would definitely stay there again.

This was our second time returning to Karime's beautiful home! We loved it just as much as the first time. Such a great private getaway with quick access to all that SJD has to offer.
