Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Your Stay

Why book direct instead of through Airbnb or Vrbo?

You deal with the people who actually know the properties, and you skip the platform's service fee. We have been hosting in Baja since 2020 and have been connected to the region for over twenty years — we have stayed in these units ourselves.

How do I book?

Choose your dates on any unit page and you will be taken through to our booking system, where you will see the full price breakdown before you confirm. If you would rather talk it through first, call or text us and we will find the right unit for your dates.

What fees are added to the nightly rate?

A booking fee of 19% if you pay by credit card, or 16% if you pay by Venmo, Zelle or wire transfer, plus one flat cleaning fee of $100 charged at the time of booking. That is it — no hidden extras at check-in.

Do you charge a security deposit or damage fee?

No. We do not collect a refundable security deposit or a damage protection fee. We would rather trust our guests and keep the booking simple.

What is your cancellation policy?

Booking fees are non-refundable. The nightly rate is fully refundable if you cancel 60 or more days before check-in, 50% refundable between 31 and 59 days out, and non-refundable within 30 days of arrival.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Most units are 3:00 pm check-in and 11:00 am check-out. A few are 4:00 pm and 10:00 am, and the exact times for your unit are confirmed when you book.

Is the beach at Las Olas swimmable?

Yes — Costa Azul is one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, which is part of why we like it so much. Most of the coastline here has strong surf and undertow, so a beach you can actually get in the water at is rare. It is also right in front of four surf breaks, so you get both.

Is San José del Cabo safe?

It is one of the safest areas in Baja and one of the most tourist-conscious places in Mexico — the town is built around visitors and it shows. We have been coming here for over twenty years and own property in Baja ourselves. As anywhere, use ordinary sense at night, but this is not a place people feel uneasy walking around.

Do I need a car?

We recommend renting one — it makes exploring Baja much easier, and there is plenty worth driving to. That said, Uber works well here, and we offer round-trip airport transportation if you would rather not drive at all.

Can I drink the water?

Yes. All the water in the building is UV filtered, and most units have a separate water filtration system on top of that. You do not need to buy bottled water for the week.

Do you offer monthly or long-term stays?

Yes. Monthly rates at Las Olas start at $3,000 and run to $10,000+ depending on the unit, the season and how long you stay. At Cora Los Cabos, monthly rates run $5,000 to $10,000. July through October is the most affordable stretch; January through March is the busiest and most expensive.

I own a property in Baja — can you rent it for me?

Yes. We list properties at no upfront cost, optimize your Airbnb and Vrbo listings, market the property and drive direct bookings. You keep your own on-site team. Get in touch and we will talk through whether it is a fit.
