Fantastic one bedroom bungalow for me and my wife. We loved it. Clean and well stocked and ground floor access to the pool side. Very safe. The complex is secure and everyone makes you feel welcome … it’s a community of like minded people there to relax and make everyone feel at home. A real “gem”. I wish I found this place years ago.

We loved the location of this property. It is right on the beach. There are really good restaurants--tacos, seafood, and coffee within comfortable walking distance. Grocery stores are just as close. The host is very accommodating and gracious. The local condo owners and guests were very friendly and welcoming. From the beach, we saw whales rays breaching the surface. Relaxing, safe neighborhood.

Viva Vacation

We stayed a month and knew within a week that we would book again for next year. Our favourite activities were walking the beach both ways, visiting Palmilla beach, shopping downtown, hanging out at the Marina watching the fishing boats come in, fishing for delicious tuna and trying many restaurants. I learned to play Pickleball and loved getting to know all the lovely owners and renters. Mucho Gracias!

Steps to the beach, stunning view!

We loved everything about Carly's condo. Because the view is so impressive looking directly out to the beach and the sea we didn't feel the need to rush off to the beach right away. Enjoying breakfast on the patio you felt like you were directly on the beach. Inside is well equipped + very clean. Carly had everything taken care of you could think of right down to a six pack of cold Cerveza! Loved it so much we booked for next year while we were there. Can't go wrong staying at Viva, best location in Los Cabos!

Quiet Location

This was my first time staying in this unit and will be booking again. The location is fantastic, close to the grocery store and a variety of restaurants, all within walking distance. Approx 30min walk into San Jose. The unit was clean, comfortable and a well equipped kitchen. Carly provided all the details needed prior to check in, which was seemless and was able to accomodate an early check in for us. Can't wait to return! NI
