About this property

Private Villa in the Heart of Cabo: 495 Per Night-Closest to Medano Beach!

Features: Large and spacious (3BDR)/(3.5) bath Private Residence, Private Pool, 60" Smart TV, Large Dining Table plus Bar Table, Remodeled Kitchen, Individual A/C's in each room, Ceiling fans in each room, Wireless internet, Local line with unlimited international calling, private washer & dryer, and Secure Parking.

On the first floor there is a sitting/reading room with two sofa pullouts, a family room for watching TV, a dining room with seating for all, a very functional kitchen, another sitting room with a pull out, and a rear patio with a built in gas BBQ.

Each Bedroom on the 2nd Floor is essentially a Master, with its own Private Bathroom and balcony (two face the Pedregal mountain and one faces the rear), which makes it perfect for couples, friends, families, or any combination thereof. Each bedroom has (2) queen beds and one of the rooms has two queens and a single. Each bedroom has separate air conditioners, ceiling fans and regular fans.

Maid service is included in your rental (every other day--except Sundays and Mexican holidays). If you have a larger group, you may want to have additional maid days which are $50 each.

The Freshwater Pool is Deep and Cool, and has been recently refinished along with the decking.

Casa Mario is Perfectly Located for those that don’t want to drive. It’s just 300 yards to Medano Beach, 'THE' Beach in Cabo San Lucas. It's Cabo’s most popular swimming and sunning beach where you can enjoy water activities like jet skiing, para-sailing, glass bottom boats, and snorkeling. Plenty of excellent dining choices are available within a block (my 'must eats' are listed in the house binder). Casa Mario is just two blocks to Puerto Paraiso with its first class shopping and the Marina where the fishing boats are, and just three blocks from the World-Famous downtown nightlife of Cabo San Lucas.

Restaurant reviews written by me can be found at our other website, just Google Casa Mario Cabo.

Hidden Gem in Heart of Cabo

Casa Mario is amazing! The pool, the location, the rooms -- everything is awesome for an authentic Cabo vacation experience. Tim is great at answering any questions we had and very responsive about concerns. The central location to the beach, downtown, and groceries make it ideal for friends and families alike. We will definitely come back - thank you!

Location, Location, Location..........Ideal! The close proximity to the beach, downtown and the marina make this compound the bullseye in Cabo. Its great to have a house within walking distance from all areas of interest to conveniently retreat to for some peace and quiet while on vacation. We truly enjoyed our stay and all Tim's recommendations were spot on.

Cabo's Jewel

It was our fourth family trip to Casa Mario - what more can I say. Each time the amenities increased, we enjoyed great nearby restaurants (Corazon de Alcachofa, & Roasted were superb) and Tim continues to be an attentive, informative and gracious host. Be sure to read all the great reviews of Casa Mario. They are full of valuable tips and experiences.

Can't Get Any Better!

We stayed for 5 days at Mario's. It is right in the mix, convenient to everything...but you are not living next to a club (thank god, you can't be at the club your WHOLE visit!). The beds were all super comfy and everything was clean and fresh. The a/c worked great and we had a blast at the pool which was always refreshing. This place has all the comforts of home...movies if you want 'em, karaoke by the pool if that is your deal, plenty of pots, pans and plates etc. if you love to cook fresh fish or try your hand at the local flavors. Thanks Tim for the cool t-shirt..I kinda hope it remains the best kept secret!

Great house with the best location in Cabo

This place was truly amazing. As soon as we got there we were met with the property manager to show us around and answer any of the questions we had. The place was just as we pictured, but open space downstairs, and 3 great bedrooms upstairs all with their separate bathrooms. The outside was phenomenal. The grill is perfect and we used it every day. Around the corner to the pool was amazing. Margaritas and lounging by the pool was an every day ritual. With just a 5 minute walk to Madeno Beach you could not make it any easier. Breakfast at The Office, and day parties at the Mango Deck really made the trip. The maid was great and she cleaned everyday for us, even when she did not have to. If you are looking for a great trip to stay with a good number of people this is the perfect spot. Tim made booking this trip very easy for me and he was very helpful with all the little details.

Great House

We appreciated the amenities at Casa Mario. It's a very well equipped house (lot's of bottled water, modern kitchen, great bbq, books, games, etc,) with lots of space and a good layout. There a lots of places for folks to sit and read, or congregate to eat, talk or play games. We were greeted with tequila and champagne, which we appreciated and enjoyed all week. The location is a bit of a two edged sword. On one hand, it is well positioned - less than 5 minute walk to the beach and about a 10 or 15 minute walk to the marina or town. On the other hand, Paseo del Pescador is a busy street and serves as a primary access between the beach and rest of the area. As a result, there is considerable street noise from passing buses, trucks and cars. The house is also flanked by two properties that keep dogs outside, and they bark. Not all day/night, but we were very aware of them. So, great house, great amenities, great access, but not the quietest spot.

Great Place

Had six family members stay for a week at the Casa de Mario. It can be a struggle when looking for places to stay at a destination that one has never been. After looking at probably a hundred listings on Homeaway, I emailed Tim (the owner). He was very fast in his response and very informative. I wanted a house that was CLOSE to the beach, the marina, restaurants and shopping. I did not want to call a cab every time I wanted to venture out. Now, you can stay at the ME or one of the other hotels or timeshares and be close to the action, but you WILL NOT find another house like Casa de Mario. It will sleep a large group, it is extremely safe and private, and it has an awesome pool. Its a five minute walk to Medano Beach, 185 feet from Roasted and about 200 feet to Peacocks. Bar Esquina is about a 2-3 minute walk. Its an 11 minute walk to the Marina, the Mall and lots of bars and restaurants in that area. We actually arrived just a couple of days after Hurricane Newton. I was impressed that the neighborhood and Cabo in general looked great. The house had some minor issues like gas hot water heater had blown out, the satellite dish had got moved some and reception was spotty. Nothing big. The only reason I even mention it is because if you have a problem, Tim will take care of it....fast. Also wanted to mention that in September, the fishing is muy caliente, and so is the weather. But Casa de Mario has A/C units in all of the bedrooms and large A/C units in the living areas downstairs. The kitchen is also very nice. Fully equipped and modern. The water is filtered and there is a separate water cooler. Tim recommended the Mucho Loco boats for fishing and they did not disappoint. We fished twice with them and brought back some nice tuna, wahoo and dorado to prepare in our kitchen. There are hundreds of placed to eat and drink, but my crowd really enjoyed Bar Esquina and La Dolce. The Italian Job was closed but the food at La Dolce was fantastic. Monkey Business bar had the best margaritas. Also the Cabo Bakery had a really good breakfast. Not just baked goods, they had a full breakfast menu. Food was fast and fresh and steps from the house. There is also a warehouse club (think of costco) about a 5 min walk from the house, for about $1.50 you can get a day pass. They have loads of stuff. Hope to stay at the Casa de Mario again soon, just a fabulous location.

Casa Mario

Location is perfect! The place is clean and has just about everything you need from cooler for the beach to a stroller. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us and we will definitely be back to visit Casa Mario again! Only a few minor things that weren’t perfect - the pool wasn’t clean (lots of buds/flowers from the trees maybe), the keys to the outside door weren’t working well but maintenance came out within a couple hours and solved the problem, and the water from the dispenser had some floaters in it. No major disappointments! Overall we loved the place and had a great stay!

Location! Location! Location!

This place is what Cabo is all about. Steps to Medano Beach, the harbor and downtown Cabo San Lucas. The house itself is clean, secure and well appointed with everything you might need from cooking utensils to ice chests to games and books. We had eight people in our group and there was more than enough space to spread out and multiple places to come together and hang out. While there was no reason to leave, we did take one day trip and the house had gated parking for our rental which made it easy to park, load up and leave it after our trip. If you are looking for convenience, prefer to walk instead of having to take cabs/shuttles and want to be close to beach activities, the harbor and all the great downtown restaurants I'd highly recommend Casa Mario!

A definite "do-over"

We always prefer staying in homes vs. hotels, and Tim's location did not disappoint. The four of us had plenty of space. We like to cook meals when we travel and Tim's kitchen was well equipped with anything we needed. The beds are very comfortable, the linens clean, and the towels perfect for the beach. The location is also perfectly located - two blocks either way - to the beach or to downtown. Tim was also easily accessible when we had questions and his dining recommendations were spot on. We did rent a car (very easy). We spent one day at Santa Maria Beach followed by the evening in San Jose del Cabo which is a great experience on Thursday nights during the Art Walk. We also drove over to Pedregal and watched the sun set at both Lovers and Divorce beaches....the Beverly Hills of Cabo. Thank you Tim for letting us share your home. We had an amazing visit and would definitely do it again. While we didn't dine at The Italian Job, we did enjoy Ediths, Esquina (the bartenders were great), The Office (its an experience!), and a few other local joints. We also found a great churro vendor downtown on the other side of the marina! We will be back.

Great Location!

This house was amazing! Tim was very responsive before our trip and even set us up with a driver at lower price than those we found online. The house had plenty of room to fit all 6 of us comfortably and could probably fit up to 10 people. The location was great, you can't beat it! It's situated right between Medano Beach and Downtown. We did not need to rent a car or take any taxis, we just walked everywhere. There are good restaurants nearby and an Oxxo (their 7/11) 2 blocks away. The pool was great and refreshing after a long day of walking around town. Only one bad thing was a sewage smell in one of the rooms that came and went. It leaked in from the street every now and then. Other than that the house was amazing and we would definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Cabo!

Perfect Vacation House

This house was absolutely perfect. We had 9 people stay over 4 days and had a great time here. The house is extremely close to downtown and the beach, is nice and spacious and extremely well-stocked. Tim, the owner, is extremely fast in responding and great to work with. The maid is very professional and it's great to have her come by to tidy up. On Tim's suggestion, we asked his contact Jorge to pick us up from the airport and he was extremely helpful in essentially helping us coordinate our entire vacation. He helped us book boat rides, snorkeling trips, jet-ski rentals, a trip to La Paz and Todos Santos and even told us about amazing hole-in-the-wall places for food. Jorge and his colleague, Rael really helped make our vacation absolutely amazing.

Perfect Vacation Home in Cabo!

Unbelievably spacious home with numerous beds and living space and a fully equipped kitchen. We had 10 sleeping and living comfortably for 1 week. Only 4 blocks from the beach and downtown Cabo. Also walking distance from the marina and other notable restaurants and bars/clubs. This house includes very professional and sweet locals to help with your stay. A maid comes frequently and the owner offers many activities and suggestions for sightseeing, restaurants, and more. I had been to Cabo before but this was my favorite trip due to this house. The pool is a perfect relaxation place. The house is safe and very central. I recommend this house to everyone! Thank you for a great vacation.

Didn't Want to Leave!!

The accommodations at Casa Mario were fantastic. Our party consisted of two couples down from Canada for a week of fishing and relaxation. The house was a perfect size for the four of us and surrounding swimming pool and patio added all sorts of additional relaxation areas. There are plenty of beds to accommodate a large group if needed. The house was spotless when we arrived. The bathrooms are roomy with large showers and super comfortable beds! We were very happy to find some of the best dining in Cabo right on the same avenue within shouting distance of the house. Prepare yourself for some fine dining, every meal was great! Just as short walk to Medano Beach, the Marina and downtown. We found staying at this house was far more superior than the all inclusives up the beach. We had a blast! Thanks Tim for accommodating us when our flight home was canceled, it was greatly appreciated!

Great Christmas!

This was a great house for three generations of family (8 yrs to 71). Close to the beach and the Marina, so everybody could do what they wanted, and return to gather in the great room of the house without having to make special arrangements to meet at a certain time in the public space of a hotel. We've already signed up for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Davidson

Host profile image
My name is Tim Davidson and I help run the house that our family purchased in 2005. Since then, we have been to Cabo at least 50 times and enjoyed every minute. We bought this house for the location and have been making improvements every year as needed and desired.

You won't need to spend a dime on taxi fair, as everything is within walking distance!

Why they chose this property

We started going to Cabo San Lucas years ago and were instantly hooked. After several years of going down there we started looking for something to buy, and we found this house, which in hindsight was a huge stroke of luck.

What makes this property unique

There is no PRIVATE HOUSE/VILLA that you can rent that is closer to Medano Beach, the most popular beach in all of Cabo. It is very private and secure, with a ten foot stone wall around the perimeter and a solid steel door, giving the tenant absolute privacy.
