About this property

Life doesn't get any better than this! You are steps away from the swimming pool. You hear the breaking of the waves on the sand which is just on the other side of the pool. The previous owner lived here full time so this condo is fully outfitted to accommodate your every need. El Zalate is a peaceful, glorious retreat and your view from this oceanfront condo is magnificent. I will work with you to plan your holiday vacation so your visit is low stress!

Enjoy breakfast on our patio; you overlook two beautiful swimming pools and a hot tub. Just on the other side is the beach! You'll love being on the first floor; life is just easier without having to trudge upstairs to your room! We not in the main walking path of the complex so you enjoy your privacy! Security has never been an issue. I've stayed here by myself and our children have grown up here! We sleep with our doors open to listen to the surf at night. We never get any highway noise only the sound of the gentle fountain outside our front door and the break of the waves from the ocean side.

You hear the sounds of the waves and enjoy a perfect ocean breeze!

We have a full kitchen and plenty of fabulous restaurants are within walking distance. We love to cook so our kitchen is well equipped. We have a BBQ grill on the patio for your use. We have dining tables inside and outside to accommodate your preferences.

Very enjoyable quick stay!

Really enjoyed my quick stay at this condo. You really have everything you need when you stay here. Condo was clean and very comfortable. Loved the covered patio with BBQ and table and chairs. Pool, jacuzzi and the beach so close. Check in and communication were seamless. I will be back!

Week Long Dive Trip

This is an outstanding property that came exactly as listed. A very welcome surprise was the brand new gym with modern multiple cardio machines, weight machines and free weights. One of the nicest small gyms I've seen while traveling. The ground floor unit is perfectly located. I also thought Diane's very lengthy recommendations for everything were spot on. The Thursday art walk was amazing and the diving was world class. Absolutely recommend this property.

Awesome experience!

Our experience was simply perfect with such kind and communicative hosts (Rob and Diane), impeccably clean condo filled with everything one could ask for (beautiful bedding, bath and beach towels, beach umbrella, kitchen appliances and utensils). The ocean swims, sunrises, and sunsets made for such a beautiful vacation. And the poolside lounging and (HOT) jacuzzi topped off each relaxing day. We so look forward to our return and are very grateful to Rob and Diane..

Fantastico!

From the moment I was interested in Diane's El Zalate condo to arrival, the communication was great - above what anyone would usually expect. One of my first questions is the wifi, because I travel a lot, but that also means I have to work sometimes. And, the wifi was GREAT, no problems. We went the week prior to Christmas, travelled home Christmas Day to beat the crowds (which, I really recommend). The location is central and quiet. Not a busy hopping hotel, but a quiet condo with respectful neighbors. The pool and beach are right out the patio walkway. That was super-nice. The minor things that came up like satellite TV or beach gate code were quickly answered or addressed by management on site. OH... do check the propane tank when you first arrive, so if you plan to use it you won't be unpleasantly surprised. When we discovered it was after 7pm and mgmt gone. Thinking about it, we could have went next door to switch out, but made do in the well-equipped kitchen. Diane provided a recommendation list of places to dine, things to enjoy, and anything else you may be looking for while visiting. It was all so gratefully appreciated and useful. Mama Mias restaurant a quick beach walk away was nice to be able to sit close to the beach and have the view. Sardinias at the top of the hill a few doors down we ended up eating at 3 times. Coconut Shrimp, Crab Benedict and Clam Chowder all highly recommended. Other than that, it was easy to get Ubers and head to San Jose del Cabo for dining and other adventures. Easy to get an Uber, meeting place at the Oxxo at the top of the driveway. Easy enough to get them to drop you off close to the door when returning which is especially helpful when you have groceries. Security guards were super helpful and friendly. Grounds are well-kept and were festively decorated for the holidays. That was nice to see. Note that while there is satellite tv, the settings are in Eastern Time Zone. So, if you plan to watch something keep the time difference in mind. Which, wasn't a big deal because we didn't sit around watching TV much. Diane's place is really wonderful. Whenever we return to Cabo I would re-rent anytime. They also have a 2 bedroom right next door if you have a group or larger family. We had a few cervezas waiting for us and were sure to leave several for the next group. That is a nice set-up. Enjoy!

Wonderful Vacation!

After the stress of the past year we found the perfect get away at this condo. The setting couldn't be more beautiful - lush green lawn bordering on the sandy beach and ocean beyond. Perfect for whale watching and the sound of the surf put us to sleep every night! The unit itself is clean and comfortable and our hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous time and can't wait to come back again next year!

El Zelate Rules!

We love this Condo complex and this particular condo. It's our first time staying on the first floor and I was a little sceptical as I love the views from the higher balconies. But never fear there's a nice view from your patio and the easy access from the pool to fill up you cup or use the commode was a nice trade off. The condo has everything you might need or want, its clean, and the owners are great! The only con: the bed. Its ultra firm. If that's your thing you'll love it. We had a rough time sleeping on it and I've never yearned for my own mattress on a vacation like I did this one. Visit if you get the chance!

Perfect condo in San Jose

From the moment we entered the complex we were in awe. From the friendly security guards to the beautiful grounds. We entered the condo and was so impressed with the decor and how everything was perfect and so clean! The patio was the icing on the cake. Very large for a 1BR, some covered some not which is key. We were able to escape the morning sun if needed. Beyond the first impression, the condo had amenities that are not expected but are appreciated. First, real knives! More than 4 plates and silverware! Storage containers and plastic wrap! The shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower is a nice touch. The owners leave staples and condiments in the fridge, its nice not to buy a whole bottle of mustard for one meal. They also leave leftover beer and liquor! So a quick run up to the corner store for mixer was all we needed to get to the pool before the big shopping trip for the week. The pools;. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas. One pool is cold...maybe a little too. The shallow pool is warmer, maybe a little too much. Apparently the hot tub is only hot in the morning and night. Makes sense, but didn't go for an evening dip because we thought it was cold! Next time... All in all, we loved our stay. What this unit misses with the view of the surf it makes up for with comfort and convieince. Did I mention how easy it is to make drinks and take them to the pool... you're right there! We slept with the bedroom slider open..felt very safe and minimal people walk past the unit to the pool so privacy was not an issue. We will be back and look forward to staying in this beautiful unit again.

Fantastic!

We stayed a week in February, it was not long enough! I had my doubts about any traffic noise from the highway, but the owner assured me that you could not hear any, and sure enough, you cannot hear anything but the ocean. The unit was beautifully furnished and decorated. Very, very clean. The kitchen has everything you would ever want to use (we love to cook). The grounds are meticulously maintained, maybe a bit too much watering as there were mosquitoes, we got bitten when we had dinner outside on the patio.. The patio area is gorgeous, large and comfy and a gorgeous ocean and pool view. No issue with pool loungers, there were always some available, no hogging allowed at this complex. There are several bars and restaurants nearby, you could walk to the grocery store. Driving was an adventure but we survived intact. Security is very good, staff are very pleasant. Loved the beer welcome! The fish lady comes Friday afternoon, there was a long lineup for her! All in all, we loved it.

Perfect spot for a safe and enjoyable family getaway!

We are a family of 3 (32, 37, and a 3 yr old very active little boy) so it was important to find a place to accommodate a variety of needs. We completely lucked out with this El Zalate condo! We felt safe and comfortable from the beginning, and little did we know that this part of Cabo was the spot for families! I'll try to breakdown why this place was so great: 1) Location! You can walk to a few grocery stores and a few restaurants around the El Zalate complex. There's a "7-11" type place near the entrance. With Uber there now, you can hop in a car and get to "The Shoppes and Palmilla" and satisfy a few needs (for us yuppies who eat organic). There's a California Ranch Market at Palmilla that has all comforts of home and great quality food. Blue Fish (5 stars) restaurant is also in Palmilla, as well as an Organic Farmer's Market every Friday morning in the terrance outside! 2) El Zalate Complex. We stayed in a ground-level place (102) so you can walk to and from the pool (because you always forget something!) with ease, and when you have a toddler, that's very nice! The beach is wonderful as well. Lots of people warn you about the surf getting up, but honestly, we didn't have an issue at all--we all got in almost every day. If you want a calm ocean swim, head up to Palmilla cove about 5 minutes away! The complex always has guards on duty (24/7), and they are super friendly. They will call you a cab if you need one and give you tips about Cabo when you ask. 3) The unit itself. Had everything we needed. Washer'Dryer in unit, massive outdoor terrace, cable TV if you're into that or need to watch a game, and very functional internet with zero problems, good sized kitchen and everything you need to cook a big meal (because that's all we do). The only two comments I'll make are a lack of garbage disposal and the mattress was VERY firm--just not our favorite. Everything else about the place was perfect for our little family. Above all--I can easily say that we will be back to San Jose del Cabo, El Zalate, and probably this exact condo next year. We loved it! -Steven, Andrea, and Archer from Denver, CO.

Perfect Holiday Spot

We've just returned from our second stay in one of Diane's condos. Three couples travelled to San Jose and we had both Diane's two bedroom and one bedroom condos booked for the first week of December. Both units are extremely well equipped with everything that you need for a stress free holiday. Diane is an absolute pleasure to communicate with and always responds promptly. Her little book of favorite places to see, restaurants to eat in, and general activities to participate in was so helpful and we experienced some excellent local restaurants based on her recommendations. We definitely plan to return to this gem of a property. It can't be beat.

Paradise

It has been about 8 years since I last stayed at El Zalate and it is just as nice as ever. The pool, grounds and facility are amazing. While we were there they were painting, changing out lounge chairs and generally updating an already beautiful setting. It's quiet and relaxing and everything a person would want in a Los Cabos vacation. The condo itself is perfectly maintained. It has everything you need right down to a couple of beers waiting in the fridge. We cooked about half our meals and loved sitting out on the patio at breakfast. The first floor location is great. Just walk out the patio to the pool or beach. The shower, bed and living room furniture are nice and well maintained. El Comer is within walking distance for groceries. Ask the security guard to call a taxi to get to San Jose or the airport. Rent a car at the nearby Avis kiosk and drive to Todos Santos. You'll never run out of nice, inexpensive places to eat. Many within walking distance. I can't think of one negative thing to say and we're ready to go back as soon as possible!

About the host

Hosted by Diane O'Byrne

We bought our first condo at El Zalate in 1995! We were among the first owners and have loved it! We own the two bedroom next door and now just bought this one bedroom since our family continues to expand. Our children have grown up here and now are bringing their families. It truly is paradise!

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet, friendly atmosphere of El Zalate! We love the convenience of being on the first floor. Our condo is tucked away so you're not in the traffic pattern but have the convenience of being steps away from the pool and beach. So convenient for snacks and bathroom breaks!

What makes this property unique

We sleep with our doors open so we can listen to the waves at night. There's no highway noise where we are, only the sound of the waves:)
