A growing trend in the Baja California tourist industry is the increasing number of vacation rental homes offered across the Cabo San Lucas and surrounding areas.

 With the real estate explosion over the past few years, many real estate investors are renting single family houses as a “home away from home”. Thousands of out-of-state visitors looking for affordable weekly accommodations should consider the benefits of a Cabo vacation rental vs. a standard hotel stay for reasons of reasonable pricing, more square footage, more privacy and much more personalized accommodations.
When you are shopping for your next Cabo vacation, does a rental home make sense when compared to a traditional resort or hotel? Yes, it does. One main advantage to a vacation rental home over a resort/hotel is the amount of space you get for the money. Many Cabo vacation rentals are 1500sq. ft or larger and provide full size bedrooms, fully stocked kitchens, private pools/spas, and many other personalized extras.

For a vacationing family of 6 to stay in a mid level resort hotel here in the Cabo area during the summer, which is the off-season, the pricing usually starts at $250 for your standard 400-500 sq. ft. room with double bed, 1 TV, and no kitchen. And this is only for two people, you would need minimum three rooms to accommodate your family.

Compare that with a 2000 square foot, 4 bedroom home in Pedregal (one of the most famous vacation rental areas in Cabo) offered from $600/night, with an endless list of special amenities. This very common vacation rental home can feature four large bedrooms, living room, family room, full laundry, 4 TV’s, high speed internet, fully stocked kitchen, private swimming pool/spa, BBQ, garage and located close to restaurants, shopping, spas, golf and more.

It’s really a no-brainer when comparing a vacation home vs. a resort or hotel. For the amount of space and amenities you receive with a vacation home AND at a lower cost than most mid-level resorts, vacation homes offer so much more for you and your family. I think the only reason more people don’t rent vacation homes is that they don’t know about them.

We suggest that visitors look for vacation homes that are operated by a professional company and offer a website that provides you with ample pictures so that you can see what the entire home looks like before you book.

Vacation rental homes are becoming increasingly popular among tourists from all over the world as well as in the US.
