My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful villa in El Encanto gated community. The house was beautiful as was the outside terrace area, pool, hot tub, fire pit , beach. We had a cook come on two of our nights there (Reuben) who was amazing! The only thing that would have made our stay absolutely fabulous is if we could have swam in the beautiful Sea of Cortez at this time of year. The undertow was just too strong.

The house was beautiful and perfect for what we needed. We organized chefs to come cook for us the first two nights, and it ended up being so good that we had them come every night. Everyone was so responsive and helpful to help us organize the chefs and additional activities. It was an amazing trip and I couldn’t recommend it more.

We discovered El Encanto Villas after staying at a house just down the road. We found this place by pure luck and haven't turned back. House number 28 was the first place we rented at the resort in April 2017 for my husband's 50th birthday. Now every year we return for his birthday and for Christmas break. We've stayed in house 34, 12, 13, and some of their condos. All are equally beautiful and well maintained. You can't go wrong booking any of the properties but we always enjoy the beachfront the best. Maria, Susana, Alina, and the many staff there are so responsive, dedicated, and involved from start to finish of your vacation. They ensure you will love your experience during your stay. They make you feel at home and our like family. The property is so convenient from the San Jose/ Cabo SJD airpot. The staff will plan everything from airport transfers, dinner reservations, personal chefs, adventures, groceries, golf cart rentals, spa services, golf, and much much more. As soon as I leave the resort I'm planning another trip to come back. I'm currently planning to return this December and April of 2020. It took me awhile to write this review because I really didn't want people to find out about how wonderful this place is. Guess I was being selfish. I suggest if you are wanting to plan a trip to San Jose/Cabo area that you look no further. It is paradise. Lastly, I was diagnosed with Cancer in November 2018 and was afraid I couldn't go due to not nothing when treatment would begin. Maria worked with the home owners and they agreed to work with me. That just illustrates how caring the staff and home owners are. Amazing loving people. I'm happy to say I'm still on watch and wait and continue to keep booking trips to look forward to the wonderful things in life. I truly love everyone that I've had the pleasure to meet at El Encanto Villas. See you all soon!!! Love Mo Bee

The location could not be any better! With your own pool and hot tub, and just a step to the beautiful beach, we had it all! We enjoyed long walks on the beach, swimming in the ocean, relaxing in the hot tub and swimming in the pool, and watching lots of whales and dolphins right at poolside. The house had everything we needed, and other than a couple stops at the grocery store in town, we had no need to go anywhere else. If you are looking for a truly beautiful, relaxing, and safe place to land for a vacation, this is it!

We loved this spacious villa! WE were seven people & never felt crowded. It was spotless when we arrived. Kitchen is very well equipped. Lots of towels; big washer & dryer. We had my 3 year old grandson with us. He slept downstairs & woke up earlier than we did. He ran around downstairs & made noise. Sleeping upstairs we didn't hear a thing. Well air-conditioned; in spite of the late July heat, we were always comfy in the house. It was beautiful to walk along in the evening. The pool was great however. The house is far from most places we went to. 20-45 minutes. Quiet (except for the sound of waves) and roomy.

This house is AH-MAZING!!! Girls trip to celebrate a 50th bday...we had the BEST time ever! Property managers/concierges, Alilat and Maria, are SO incredibly helpful, professional and accommodating! I would reach out to them with a question, and had a reply (or they'd show up at the door) within 30 minutes! Unbelievable property, views, amenities...the house is incredibly gorgeous!!! They have thought of everything! Toiletries in the bathrooms, hair dryers, curling irons (are you kidding??!!), giant refrigerator and an additional ice maker in the center island of the kitchen! They even have pool floats/rafts in the laundry room! I've rented a lot of houses through VRBO, and this one is the best...hand down! Will definitely be back!

Everything about this house was fabulous. We had such a great time! There were 8 of us for Spring Break (two families of four). The house is directly on the beach and it is amazing. We loved taking walks, climbing on the rocks and playing in the waves. We saw whales which we were hoping to see! The house had plenty of space for all of us. The main area with the kitchen, family and dining room was very spacious. The kitchen and laundry room had everything we needed. The bedrooms were set up so nicely with great views for the 2 masters. Alilat and Maria were very helpful with everything from the moment we arrived. They made reservations for us at a couple of restaurants. Also, they arranged for paddle boards to be delivered to the house. We hired a chef/cook a couple of days and that was a great experience. I would highly recommend doing that. We would do more days next time. We rented cars so we were able to easily get in and out to go into town. Buzzard's down the street was fun to go to, too. Overall, we had an incredible Spring Break here and would definitely go back!

El Encanto was the perfect setting for our recent vacation. The house was super comfortable for two families with children, and Alilat (the concierge) went above and beyond to make our trip a breeze. She helped us arrange for grocery pre-stocking and two wonderful cooks to prepare two meals, transportation, and a rental car. The setup in the house was absolutely perfect, and we loved spending time around the pool and fire pit enjoying the stunning views of the beach. We can't wait to return!
