PEDREGAL LOS CABOS HOUSES FOR RENT
This high-end, illustrious community has been providing its residents with outstanding experiences for almost 40 years. The list of happy homeowners and guests includes movie stars, professional athletes, and people with extraordinary tastes for luxury and elegance. The hills of Pedregal contain a majestic ambiance that you can only understand once you are there to experience it. If you have not been to Pedregal before, prepare yourself for views that are more unique than anywhere else in the world. As our team knows many of the Pedregal Homeowners, we are well aware it is a community of like-minded, successful people who enjoy the authenticity of the majestic landscape, while still being close to the action of downtown Cabo.
Many of our guests ask us about the downside of the Pedregal community vs other places to stay or own a home in Cabo. Our first reaction is always the cobblestone streets. While some people love them and can’t comprehend living amongst normal, paved streets in Mexico; others can’t stand the “bumpety-bump” they experience while driving through the community. The advantage of the roads becomes apparent the first time you drive around the neighborhood with a Polaris or Can-Am off-road vehicle. The way your ATV (or UTV) hugs the turns and creates an immersive experience is unparalleled. However, if you don’t have mud-digging tires and you can’t experience the roads with Baja racecar shocks, then Pedregal quickly gets to be a teeth-chattering, windy ride.
One of our favorite parts of Pedregal Cabo San Lucas is the beach. It is unique the way that the rock formations jut out of the sandy landscape. It is a favorite location for local photographers and family photos. The backdrop is incredibly different than other beaches in Cabo and there is a wide variety of places to take photos: within the craggy caves of the granite sandstone formations, in front of bodacious beautiful beachfront homes, or on the beach with the surf washing up onto the sand. It is also an incredible place to watch whales and sea turtles, as they get very up-close and personal on Pedregal beach. The only downside is the no swimming rule. Since the shore has a steep descent into the ocean, there is a strong undertow and sleeper waves are known to hit the beach at odd moments throughout the year. There is a safety concern and everyone on the beach should maintain the standard rule and keep their eyes on the ocean at all times.
As Pedregal sits on the Pacific side of Los Cabos, the breeze also creates a unique environment that is a wonderful experience on a hot sunny day. The next development North of Pedregal is called Quivira. Some say the winds that flow down the coast from Quivira are unbearable. On a particularly windy day, it is hard to keep a hat on your head. This is not the case in Pedregal as the community sits within a valley that is protected by the northern-most land formation. Although some of Pedregal’s homes do experience the whipping winds, most are protected and guarded against discomfort. And those hot sunny days welcome the cool breezes that grace this community.
It is important to know—for renters and homeowners—that Pedregal is home to Los Cabos’ Waldorf Astoria. Going through many name changes, from Capella Pedregal to The Resort at Pedregal, the new ownership and management of Waldorf Astoria took effect in 2019. The property boasts five-star restaurants, such as El Farallon and Don Manuel’s. It also has one of the top-rated spas in the world. With a plethora of treatments and services, an indulgent environment, and a fully immersive menu of offerings, this resort provides a large list of a la carte amenities to the residents of Pedregal Cabo San Lucas.
Make no mistake, Pedregal Cabo is Spring Break central from late February to early May. Almost as easy to anticipate as whale watching season, most locals in Cabo know they can depend on America’s (and sometimes Canada’s) young adult crowd–with fanny packs, loud neon colors, and no shoes—to swarm around Pedregal during the height of Spring Break. As most of the community is within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, marina, and nightlife, college kids love the community because they can stay in beautiful homes while saving a few bucks on taxi rides. With that said, it’s not a bad place to stay for everyone else, as long as you can endure the noise and chaos that comes with young adults and tequila. In the last few years, our team has seen more homeowners denying certain age ranges to rent their homes during this time and/or pricing their nightly rates out of the market to ensure they have people in their home of quality, instead of just loud party people that all chipped-in together and “got a sweet deal.”
One of the most interesting arguments we’ve heard from guests is when they are deciding where to stay in Pedregal and choosing which location is best. Depending on where your Pedregal Los Cabos rental is located, you could have a view of the Pacific Ocean, the Marina, or both or neither. Where most homes in Pedregal do have a view, some do not and are priced accordingly. One thing is for sure, everyone wants a view! Where most people are dead-set on having a Pacific Ocean view, others claim the marina is the best. During the day, we agree that the Pacific is an amazing and breathtaking vista to take in and embrace.
If you are in villas such as Villa Lands’ End, Mantea Casa Cabo, or Casa Acantilado (to name a few), you are gifted with a beautiful crystal-clear blue ocean, all the way south to the rock formations of Lands’ End. However, at night, you don’t see anything. And this is what fuels the debate. When the sun goes down, these villas and others around them see complete darkness. Villas that face the marina view the glittering sparkle of the city, the marina and on most nights, fireworks on Medano beach. People say it is one of the most entertaining parts of their vacation to sit at the pool of Villa Vegas and take in the Cabo Nights with the energetic action that thrives throughout the year.
Most of our guests love Pedregal because it is close to town. Ease of access to restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and entertainment is an important part of their vacation or homeownership. Although we have also met people that don’t like the noise and appreciate being off the beaten path, most appreciate Pedregal for these elements alone. In addition, the cliffside community generally attracts the like. This means that if you are in Pedregal to party poolside, enjoy the beauty of Cabo’s Pacific landscape and be close to the action of downtown, then Pedregal is the perfect place for you.
