Los Cabos III Condominiums by Cheap Getaway

A lovely rental for a vacation, with a small pool and hot tub. It’s just one block from the beach, and there’s a gas station and coffee shop across the street. Super convenient! My family would definitely stay here again.

The condo let us relax and make meals comfortably, and Andrew helped with all my questions so we could have a good family vacation. We ran into a few small issues early on, but he handled them professionally and made sure we secured the two condos we’d originally requested. His units had amenities, and nearby stores within walking distance made it easy to buy anything missing. His three-bedroom condo is gorgeous. I wish the other two-bedroom unit had the same style, though it was still cozy. The location is great, but the pricing felt steep and much higher than a hotel. I’d rent from him again.

This place and its owner are a joke. We booked through a third-party service, then found out 72 hours before the visit that we had to pay hundreds more: extra charges for amenities already listed, including pool use and parking, plus a security deposit and cleaning fees, and we had to sign a rental agreement. The booking companies don’t show those extra costs upfront. They came by text just 72 hours before our trip. If you cancel, you lose what you’ve already paid. When I contacted the rental company to see about changing dates or getting even a partial refund, they told me to contact the owner. Andrew texted that he had $2,000 in expenses to worry about and I wasn’t getting my money back. If you can hand over another $500, go ahead and stay, but these mandatory extras were already presented as amenities. He extorts money, is rude and very unfriendly and unprofessional. You can’t talk to him, only text. I’d never want to stay here or recommend it.

The condo was cozy and suited our family of six. Chad, Lily and the team at South Padre Trips made our stay at Los Cabos a great experience, and we appreciated their communication. The beach is about a minute’s walk away. Stripes is right across from the condo for last-minute things, and Island Market is one street over. If you check in at the office down Gulf Boulevard, you can rent a buggy at a discount as a Los Cabos guest. We’ve had good Airbnb experiences so far, and are already looking forward to coming back to South Padre with Chad and the team.
