Casa Buena Vista
Description
Behind its own gate on a Cabo del Sol hillside, Casa Buena Vista is a Mediterranean-style house where most of the day is spent outside: under the thatched palapa, in the heated infinity pool, or at the fire pit with its built-in bench as the Sea of Cortez goes dark.
Twelve guests sleep in six bedrooms with six and a half bathrooms, the sixth bedroom being a separate guest casita. We put it forward to families of three generations looking at Los Cabos villas in the middle of the Corridor, halfway between the two towns.
THE HOUSE
Pocket doors on the ground floor open the living and dining room, under a vaulted ceiling, to the terrace. There’s a large sectional, a flat-screen TV and a fireplace. Twelve sit at the formal dining table beneath an ornate light fixture. In the kitchen, an island with three counter seats, stainless-steel appliances, stacked ovens and dark wood cabinets; next to it a bar with stools and a breakfast nook with a table for four that gets the morning light. Three places to eat indoors, then, before you count the two outside.
THE SUITES
Two master suites, both with a king bed (the first has a bathtub as well as a shower). Two more bedrooms have kings, the fifth has two queens, and the guest casita has two doubles and its own bathroom, a little apart from the house. Canopy beds stand under vaulted ceilings, and the villa describes sunken tubs and wide showers in the main bathrooms. Several rooms open to the main patio or to one of two partly shaded terraces upstairs.
THE OUTDOORS
The palapa covers a grill, an outdoor kitchen and a round dining table with chairs and built-in seating. A second table for eight stands in the shade nearby. Around the infinity-edge pool and Jacuzzi are lounge chairs, the fire pit and a covered outdoor living room with an oversized TV, all wired to an outdoor stereo. Water views from every one of them.
THE SERVICE
A concierge visits daily and housekeeping comes most days (not Sundays or holidays). Central air conditioning, satellite TV, Wi-Fi and a water purification system are in place. Private chefs, pre-stocking and transfers are on request.
THE LOCATION
Cabo del Sol is a gated resort community with two golf courses, swimmable beaches nearby and sport fishing a short drive away. A caution we give every guest: the community is still being built out. Work continues on the Park Hyatt, the Soho beach club and the Ánima Village shopping area, so ask us what is open and what is noisy for your dates. For the wider choice of base, see San José del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas.
