Casa Corazon del Mar

Casa Corazon del Mar stands on the sand in El Encanto, a small gated community in San José del Cabo. A gate at the back of the property opens straight onto the beach, and the Sea of Cortez fills the view from the pool, the terrace and all four bedrooms.

Four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a half bath, for up to eight guests. Among the Los Cabos villas we handle, this is one for three generations of a family, or two couples with children, who want the beach at the door and would rather hear waves than a neighbour’s music. Rates start at USD 1,600 a night, with a five-night minimum.

THE HOUSE

Marble floors keep the rooms cool, and the furniture is handcrafted, in colours taken from the sand and the water outside. The dining table has ten chairs. In the kitchen there are professional appliances, an ice maker, a blender, a microwave and a coffee maker, with a wine cellar and a wine fridge for the bottles you bring back from town. Air conditioning is zoned, and there are ceiling fans as well. WiFi and high-speed internet run through the house, and there is satellite television on a large flatscreen, a DVD player, video games, a stereo, a telephone, and a washer and dryer.

THE BEDROOMS

Three bedrooms have a king bed and the fourth has two twins, which usually settles who sleeps where. Each one has its own bathroom with a shower, satellite television and an ocean view, and each opens onto a terrace, so everybody gets a private corner for the first coffee of the day.

THE OUTDOORS

The heated pool looks over the sand, and you can swim up to the bar without leaving the water. A Jacuzzi sits beside it for the end of the afternoon. On the terrace there are three deck loungers, and a large palapa gives shade for the gas grill and for lunch outside. In the evening the fire pit takes over, with the outdoor stereo for company. Then there is the gate, and the beach.

THE SERVICE

A concierge is included with the stay. Daily maid service is available from Monday to Saturday at USD 55 per day; tell us if you would like it and we will add it to your quote. Chefs, a Mexican cook, butler service, pre-stocking, transfers, spa treatments and babysitting are arranged on request and quoted separately.

THE LOCATION

El Encanto is gated, with private security. Surfing, fishing, diving and golf are all close to the house: Costa Azul, the surf beach, is about 9 km away, and Palmilla Beach, the calm one we would send swimmers to, about 11 km. Los Cabos airport (SJD) is about 20 minutes from San José del Cabo by the toll road. Our guide to San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas explains how the two ends of the Corridor differ.
