The Ultimate Upgrade: 3 Reasons to Choose Vacation Rentals in Los Cabos Over Resorts for Your Next Destination Getaway Experience

Few places in the world can match Los Cabos when it comes to destination attractions. From year-round sunshine and glorious golden sand beaches to world-class fishing, diving, wining and dining, and pampering luxury, cape cities Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo have everything one could possibly want for an unforgettable vacation experience.

As might be expected, the vast majority of the three million people who annually visit this sun-splashed paradise on the southernmost rim of the Baja California peninsula stay in one of the region’s superb collection of seaside resorts. And they are superb. But here’s the thing…

There is an even better option, one that promises more luxury, more privacy, more spectacular one-of-a-kind amenities, and in many cases–remarkably–a more affordable alternative to the traditional resort vacation. It’s an amazing option, and one more and more people are beginning to discover and take advantage of to enhance their destination getaway experience.

Yes, we’re talking about vacation rentals in Los Cabos, be they chic beachfront condos or cliff-hugging luxury villas with jaw-dropping Pacific Ocean vistas.

With that in mind, here are three reasons to choose vacation rentals in Los Cabos over resorts for your next visit to paradise.

More Luxury

Prefer your vacation accommodations to be expansive, elegantly appointed, with breathtaking views from virtually every vantage point? Of course. Everyone does.

Well, there’s no comparison when it comes to vacation rentals in Los Cabos versus resort rooms or even suites.

For starters, vacation rentals are much bigger, often staggeringly so. The gold standard are the luxury villas that are perched high above Cabo San Lucas in the Land’s End city’s exclusive gated Pedregal neighborhood. Long the province of movie stars and captains of industry, these villas are mansion-like in size and scope, with manicured grounds, exquisite design and décor, high-end amenities like jacuzzis and home theaters, as well as horizon-stretching ocean views from every corner of the property.

Amazingly, these magnificent villas are often a more affordable week-long option than upscale resorts for families, couples traveling together, or groups like bachelorette or wedding parties.

That’s also the case, naturally, for penthouse and other scenically set condos and rental homes throughout the Capes Region. More modest in size if not luxurious amenities, these properties often compare favorably to resorts’ room rates for singles and couples.

More Privacy

In addition to capital “L” luxury, vacation rentals also offer a degree of privacy well beyond that offered by even the most intimate and exclusive local resorts. There are no lines for buffet breakfasts, no crowded swimming pools or beaches, no shared locker rooms for massages or spa experiences.

Your “vacation rental in Los Cabos” is solely reserved for you and you alone (and of course that special someone, or your chosen travel companions). If you want to skinny dip in the pool or jacuzzi, or enjoy a romantic sunset dinner on the terrace, there’s no one to pry, eavesdrop or otherwise impinge upon the intimacy of the experience. Privacy is total and absolute.

In essence, you’re living the life of a local rather than that of a tourist, and you’re doing so with the same amount of privacy you’d expect in your own home.

More Amenities

Almost all the things you would expect from a first-class resort are available in Los Cabos vacation rentals: from muy comfortable accommodations to swimming pools, palm-shaded hammocks, beach access, bottomless margaritas, and on-call concierge service.

And the few that aren’t can easily be arranged. Ready for a poolside massage or a dinner party for you and a few of your closest local friends? Mobile spas and private chefs are only a phone call away, and perfectly willing to tailor their offerings to your personal preferences.

Plus, of course, there are the luxurious residential amenities found in any coastal manse, from state-of-the-art kitchens and palapa-topped bbq stations to fully equipped business and fitness centers.

That’s the advantage of vacation rentals in Los Cabos, and it’s one no resort–regardless of reputation or service–can ever come close to matching. Call it the ultimate upgrade (from memorable to unforgettable), and by all means consider it for your next relaxing getaway to always sunny Los Cabos.
