| The pictures are beautiful but even they don't do this place justice. We have stayed at many luxury resorts throughout the world. This is the best! If you have discriminate taste, you will not be disappointed. Everything was top notch. Location-perfect! Balcony-HUGE and perfect! Very friendly staff. Kris is so easy to get ahold of via email or phone. We even spoke with him while we were there. Decided to take out his boat and use his crew (also FANTASTIC! and so fun.) This was defintely the highlight of our trip and we have awesome memories because of it. (***Take dramamine even if you have your sea legs! Sometimes the sea is rough.) Even if you don't fish, don't pass this up. You will see whales, feed Pancho (the sealion) on the way back, catch a Dorado and bring it back to La Estancia where they prepared a special meal for us. Best vacation ever! We will not stay anywhere else except this unit when we visit Cabo. Our Cabo trips will forever be planned around this specific unit. I wouldn't dare stay somewhere else and risk disappointment. Feel free to contact me for pictures, more comments, anything you'd like. I just can't say enough about this place! |

Dear Kris,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful villa; we just loved our stay there. The villa is beautifully decorated and everything you could need is there. We truly loved the balcony and the view. The property is magnificent; lovely grounds, pools, restaurants and a wonderful staff. The grocery store, ice cream shop and deli on the property is also an added bonus.
You were a pleasure to deal with and very professional. Your restaurant and activities suggestions were so helpful. We didn't want to leave; we actually tried to change our flights but couldn't work it out. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you again for everything.
Best regards,
Susan and David Senise

Hi Kris,
Sorry it took me so long to leave a comment. My sister's bachelorette weekend (labor day weekend) was amazing thanks to your accomodations. Your place was so beautiful and very confortable. We had everything we could need. Your suggestions were definitely very helpful. Thanks for your hospitality. We hope to come and visit again next year! Thank you so much Kris! |

Dear Kris,
What a perfect way to spend Christmas--escaping
snowy Michigan to guaranteed sunshine! We loved
your spot with the comfy couch and beautiful
amenities. The staff was great and the grounds are
beautiful. The guacamole and the pico de gallo at
the deli are to die for! We all had massages
overlooking lands end--we thought they were
great too. Now that I looked at other guest
comments I'm sorry we didn't take out your boat.
Next time a must! thanks again for your
hospitality, Debbie |

| Kris - Our time in your beautiful Cabo home could not have been more perfect. The unit itself is amazing - it's very obvious that you and your wife took great care in decorating it. Your suggestions regarding local restaurants, places to visit, etc. were spot on. We rented your boat one day - what a treat. We saw dolphins, a whale and sea lions. Your crew could not have been nicer. The entire staff at Villa La Estancia was so friendly and helpful, and the amenities were fantastic. We did not want to leave, and are already thinking about when we can return to your fabulous Mexican paradise. Your hospitality, and special touches made our Thanksgiving vacation one we'll never forget! Thank you - Christy & Blake |

| How can I describe this place? Absolutely Amazing! We always try to go throught VRBO and this is by far the nicest place we have ever been. I didn't want to come home. The employees are extremely nice, The weather was great, we even went out on Kris's boat and the boys caught a marlin. We are already planning a trip back. Thanks again Kris. |

Kris,
We had a wonderful time staying in the villa. The villa is spacious and beautifully decorated. Every amenity we could have wanted was there. We especially enjoyed the private balcony. In fact, Tony slept out there almost every night. The staff at La Estancia were wonderful and accommodating. During the days, we enjoyed lounging by the pool and shopping. This is definitely a five star place. Location was perfect. Not too crowded, and it was so easy to get to town. Tony also enjoyed the deep sea fishing. Thanks again for a fabulous vacation.

We just returned from a week at the beach and had a tremendous time. The condo is beautiful, the service is fantastic and of course, the weather was perfect. Thanks for making it all possible for us.

| We celebrated our 28th anniversary here from 4/26/08 through 5/3/08. Kris, your property is amazing. The view is stunning and the villa is decorated wonderfully. Our experience there was great. Every evening as we sat on the balcony we were treated to a concert by a talented saxophonist at the restaurant downstairs. All your dining recommendations provided very good experiences. We had a great day fishing and sightseeing on your boat. It and your crew is beyond believe. Toni caught a huge "manfish" at The Giggling Marlin and I had to drink the 3 upsidedown tequila shots to prove it. I had to endure the required day of street shopping. It was fine once I found The Monkey Business Bar and took refuge there. I will return to Cabo and to Villa La Estancia. |

Homeowner Response:
Hey Bill & Toni,
It was with great pleasure that I read your wonderful and great comments. I am truly pleased that all of your time was spent so well. I even got a kick out of the required shopping trip and yes it is much better when you can take refuge in a local watering hole. As for the extra tequilla shots...I too have had to pay that price.
Thanks again for the great comments and I look forward to your return.
Warm regards,
Kris

We stayed in this unit for a week in March 2008. It is a wonderful unit -- clean, well maintained and extremely well furnished,with substantial upgrades over the developer's original furniture package. Kris is a great host as well. He gave us lots of useful info before we arrived and called to make sure we were doing okay after we arrived.
Villa La Estancia is a wonderful property -- great pools and beach for the kids, beautiful grounds, good fitness facilities and nice restuarants. It's also very convenient to town. Short walk to many restaurants via the beach or a short cab ride. No need for a rental car.
Most important for us, it's a great family place. Our kids made friends early in the trip and had a blast.
We will return.

| Not only is Kris wonderful to work with, his villa is the most beautiful place me and my friends have ever stayed in! The accomadations were perfect for me and 5 of my girlfriends - ages ranging between 28 and 36. the location was excellent - quiet enough in the day for us to relax and close to town via cab at night if we wanted to get a little crazy! I couldn't have wished for a better vacation! |

I am so happy that everything worked out well for you and your group. I know that ya'll were a little skeptical about renting on VRBO and I am very pleased that everything lived up to your expectations.
I look forward to having your entire group back, so that once again you may get a "little crazy" in Cabo.

| We stayed in this unit the end of February, 2008, and had a wonderful time. The villa is remarkable, beautifully furnished - unique! The weather was fantastic and we were fortunate to be able to see the whales! Obviously, there are thousands of places you could stay, but I would recommend this villa to anyone. The amenities are excellent. Believe it or not, we even used the washer and dryer - even though we didn't want to do laundry! Kris (the villa owner) is great to work with and gives good pointers for those new to Cabo. We're looking forward to the next trip, and would love to stay in this villa again. |

| We stayed in Chris's condo for the week of Feb 08-15 with our three young children 6,4,2 and had the absolute best vacation we have ever had as a family. The pictures on this site do not do the condo justice. For those of you who are used to the best this is the condo for you. Three big plasma TV's, great decor and more than enough room for all of us. The proximity of the condo in relation to the pool and elevator is great and the service at the resort was great. We have travelled through Mexico extensively and found the staff at the Estancia and the two sister resorts to be more friendly and eager to help than any where else we've been. Chris made everything from the initial contact, to payment, and follow up very easy and was very pleasant to deal with. We will definitely be back at this resort, and specifically Chris's condo again. |

| My family of 4 just stayed in this condo. Villa La Estancia is beautiful and the unit is spectacular. Spacious, well-equipped, comfortable. Great location within the complex with a great view. Beautifully furnished with every amenity (LCD TVs in every room, US satellite, DVD player, WiFi, washer/dryer, blender, juicer...). This is the nicest of the 3 Villa properties (you have access to the other ones too), great beach and pools, plenty of lounge chairs, nice hot tubs, nice gym and spa, friendly staff. I could go on, but suffice is to say, you'll love it. We rented a car which could be valeted or parked in the underground garage. You could also walk up the beach to restaurants and right into Cabo. |

| For all of you looking for a great place to stay in Cabo this is it. My girlfriend her Mom and I just got back. The owner Kris has Heavily upgraded the unit, furniture is way nicer than the standard units and there are even flat screens in every room! The View from the unit is great and The Villa Estancia is top notch. If you haven't been to Cabo, all I am going to say is this "you get what you pay for". 5 star resort, no time share hustle, Upgraded Unit, unbelievable amenities, your crazy not to rent this unit at Estancia. |
