Amazing beach house in great getaway town!

A Serene Getaway in Todos Santos, Mexico Nestled just outside of Todos Santos, Mexico, this rental property is a gem for anyone seeking a blend of tranquility and adventure. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the stunning beaches, where the sight of active whales added an element of awe to the serene landscape. Nature enthusiasts would be thrilled by the unique experience of a turtle release, a rare opportunity to engage closely with local wildlife. The property boasts a beautifully designed deck that offers breathtaking views, perfect for those quiet mornings or romantic sunsets. It’s evident that the owners have put thought into ensuring the rental has everything one could need, making it feel like a home away from home. Gastronomy is another highlight here, with amazing restaurants just a stone’s throw away. Each meal was an adventure in itself, exploring the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine. A day trip to La Paz, just an hour away, added variety to the trip, allowing us to experience the vibrancy of a larger city while still being able to retreat to the tranquility of Todos Santos. In summary, this rental property is an idyllic escape for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Mexico, complete with modern comforts and close proximity to culinary delights and urban exploration. Whether it’s watching majestic whales, participating in conservation, or just unwinding on a beautiful deck, this place has it all.

Primo location

One of the best locations in all of Todos Santos! Private. Excellent access to the beach! You might not want to leave. We enjoyed a well equipped kitchen and access to local farm fresh produce and seafood. Our host was friendly and accommodating to our needs.

That view!!!

Mark was the perfect host. He showed us around and took us fishing. Told us about the best places to eat. The view was incredible. Going to bed and waking up with the ocean waves crashing was so relaxing. The beach hardly had anyone on it.Todos Santos is a wonderful place to visit. It was hard to leave.

Wonderful beach house

Beach house with a private upstairs space including bedroom (king bed), kitchen, bath and living area. The outdoor patio space is huge, ALL of it looking out onto the beach and Pacific Ocean. Close to Todos, markets and restaurants. Would definitely go again!

Private Stay Right on the Beach

Mark's home gives an unbelievable front and center 180 degree view of the ocean with whales, dolphins, turtles. You can walk out the back door and be on the beach. Usually there's no one for 200 yds in either direction. We enjoyed Todos Santos, especially the food recommendations from Mark, but we ended up spending most of our time just enjoying the balcony views and beach walks right from our place. Just what my wife wanted!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Grivas

Born and raised in New York City and have always had an affinity for the sea. My ancestors and modern family hail from the island of Ithica, Greece perhaps explaining my love for the sea and seafood (and lamb). I caught my first fish when I was 5 years old and it's more like I was the one who got hooked that day. In 2004, my wife and I took our first trip to Cabo to go fishing and once again I got hooked only this time it was on this beautiful area. I purchased my first lot in Cabo only later to discover Todos Santos where my dream of living on the waterfront came true.

I worked most of my life in sales selling everything from flower seeds, foods and food services, steel, plastic, paper and advertising space. In my latest years worked as a vessel assist captain on the east end of Long Island assisting vessels in distress.
I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CA. for 2 years, lived in Osaka, Japan for 2 years then moved to SF and the Bay area for 4 years and L.A. for 10 years. Spent 8 years in Fort Lee, NJ and the last 11 years I've lived in the Hamptons of NY.

Why they chose this property

After my first visit to Cabo, I became very interested in the area. I was back the following year to buy something. I was really looking for a condo but the deals kept slipping through my fingers and Real Estate was red hot then. I eventually settled for a lot on the corridor but I wasn't satisfied. Still looking for a condo or house in Cabo without success my broker invited me to look at some lots in Todos Santos. He showed me a beachfront lot with, wouldn't you know it, a bait ball working its way down the beach....hooked again!! After making plays for no less than 4 other lots, that fell through, I finally closed on this lot sight-unseen and built this fabulous house.

What makes this property unique

The beautiful blue Pacific and sea breezes. Not too hot in the summer and more importantly not cold in the winter. Perhaps the most ideal climate on earth. Walk out your door and catch fish! The La Pastora surf break is a stones throw away and can be seen from here.
