Ideal Location

We so enjoyed the peaceful, beautiful location of this well-appointed condo on the beach. The owners provided everything we needed--from beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and a cooler for our trips to the local snorkel beaches, to the comfy blankets to wrap up in during the cool evenings on the patio.
We were treated to daily shows of whales spouting while enjoying our early morning coffee and tea on the patio. We enjoyed preparing breakfast and eating on the patio each morning before heading out on our adventures.
The best snorkel beach was Chileno Beach--immaculately clean, uncrowded, no beach vendors and provided palapas for those who wanted some shade. Santa Maria Beach had nice snorkeling. However, they allow dogs there, so better watch where you step. The drive to Cabo Pulmo National Park was well worth the trip as we enjoyed snorkeling with the sea lions and huge schools of fish.
The Mega Store provided all the necessities we needed for cooking--just watch out for the timeshare sellers disguised as grocery clerks. We soon learned that when asked the questions, "Where are you from?" and "Where are you staying?," that we were talking to a timeshare salesman and not a real grocery clerk.
Several good restaurants are within walking distance of the condo. Zippers had delicious hamburgers and margaritas. We also found several out of the way restaurants tucked away in San Jose for authentic Mexican food.
Our favorite day trip was to Todos Santos. Lots of interesting shops, art galleries and restaurants.
Another highlight of the trip was the art walk in downtown San Jose on Thursday night. Each art gallery provided wine or tequila as we enjoyed viewing the art work and visiting with the local artists.
This was a wonderful vacation--one we'll never forget and will surely recommend to our friends. Lori and Mike are great hosts, and their attention to detail ensured that we left our worries and cares back in the states as we enjoyed this magical place on the Baja.
