5 Stars All Around!
Recently took a group of 12 to Cabo for a weeks stay at Villa Marcella. The property was amazing. More than big enough for our group of 12 - quiet & private with a beautiful expanse of beach that we had all to ourselves. The property was loaded with amenities - pool, hot tub, pool table to name a few. Also there was a wonderful outdoor space with ample seating. The property was well maintained & equipped with your every need. Along with the property came an amazing staff who were attentive and eager to please. They were capable & answered all of our questions, as well as handling our special / personal requests.
Chef Alan did an amazing job feeding our crew. We enjoyed daily breakfasts, two lunches and a fabulous meal one evening on the beach.
Our concierge was on site daily and handled any personal shopping needs or errands as well as reservations. He was kind enough to pick up pizza one evening from The Italian Job for the group after a long day of activities. Btw - the pizza is amazing!
Property manager Amanda made the booking process easy. She was quick with responses to my myriad of questions while booking the trip for our guests. She provided recommendations, reservations and transportation which made my life easy and allowed me to enjoy Villa Marcella and Cabo with my guests.
Villa Marcella gets 5 stars, the staff gets 5 stars, Amanda gets 5 stars and my overall experience gets 5 stars plus plus - I will be back! - Lisa - (December 2020)
What an amazing paradise right on the beach!
We had 4 couples head down to this wonderful mansion (yes it is huge) and we felt right at home with the wonderful staff, the great food, the clean pool, warm jacuzzi and the nights spent talking around the fire right next to the sandy beach!
Yes we went in June and though we could not enjoy restaurants or any of the typical tourist stuff, we were fed amazing food from Alan our chef and we loved every minute of the care we got from Dario the concierge.
If you use Alan for your food, our favorites were the Huevos Rancheros for breakfast. For dinner the pasta bolognese or the steak and shrimp platter. The tortas for lunch were amazing and every night he made hot brownies or served some other indulgence that we requested. Dario made sure we had everything we wanted, whether it was forgotten sunscreen, extra red bulls or cold local popsicles, he handled it all.
Though the home is large, it never felt too much, it felt homey and cozy and the beds were great as were the bathrooms and the toiletries etc. We loved our time here and hope we can come back soon. Oh, you walk out of the pool gate and BOOM you are on the most beautiful beach in Cabo! 5/5 stars - Eric K (June 2020)
Incredible home, incredible staff
There’s not one bad thing to be said about this property or staff. I’ve vacationed one pedregal multiple times and have had great experiences, but this experience was unlike any other. We had a crew of 15 and the house never seemed Remotely cramped. From the breathtaking views from the home, to the staff, to the private beach, we were in awe for 5 straight days. Everything in the house worked, nothing was broken, and beds were comfortable. I would recommend this house to larger parties 1000/1000 times. I will definitely be back! Thank you Amanda for the incredible communication and making everything a breeze. 5/5 stars - Kyle L (March 2020)
Magical experience in every way possible!
Our experience at the Villa Marcella began way before checking in. Amanda and Fred are great to work with, providing first-class service from the beginning. My wife and I chose the Villa as the location for our wedding based on the size, accommodations and proximity to the beach. Our wedding week was fantastic, having both her and my family stay at the Villa, with our friends at a hotel nearby. The staff is great, quickly becoming part of our family. Waking up each day, having listened to the waves crashing all night is the best way to start any day. Our wedding was magic, and the guests were in love with the atmosphere. I would highly recommend Villa Marcella and we hope to return one day soon. Thanks for all your help, it was a please to work with you! 5/5 stars! - Kegan K. ( June 2019)
Absolutely breathtaking Villa Marcella
The Villa was gorgeous and immaculate. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Perfectly arranged for our large group of 11 to have dinner, play pool, enjoy the bar, watch movies, and relax on the terrace and watch the beautiful waves, or slip away to a quiet place to read. The location on the beach had very few people, the set back gave us privacy at the pool. We felt very safe at all times at the Villa. We had the most amazing service from David our concierge, Benjamin our chef, and Carmen who kept everything clean each day. Benjamin is amazing in the kitchen. We ate most meals there 3 times a day and each was creative and delicious. I truly don't know why we ever went out. The few times we did we all said to each other--Benjamins food is much better than any restaurant. David took care of every need we had from transportation to setting up a snorkling trip, to serving dinner. He and Benjamin even went with us to Costco! Perfect hosts at our finger tips at all times. Carmen made everything fresh each day. We did not lift a finger. A week went by way too fast. We made such great memories. Villa Marcella was magical and worth every penny!! 5/5 stars - Mary Ellen D (August 2018)
Stunning Mansion on the Sand- Truly Created our Fairytale Wedding!
Like many others, my wife & I were married at Villa Marcella in June. It was literally the most amazing day anyone could have possibly asked for. We had exactly 100 guests and it was plenty of room for everyone. We even had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they've been to, BY FAR. The staff was amazing the whole trip, and we opted for the chef services. Benjamin made us breakfast every morning at the time we requested. Don't sleep on the French Toast! The best thing about this villa though is Amanda, she was out of this world helpful. We relied on her throughout the whole process, and she was very responsive & always went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect. We still keep in touch with her today & have even discussed hanging out next time we're in the Bay Area. We rented the other two villas as well for our guests, and they all had rave reviews themselves. They even make comments about how we have to do a reunion trip in the future. I cannot say enough good things about our experience, and I can personally guarantee that you will not find a better venue in Cabo San Lucas if you're trying for an intimate, beach wedding. 5/5 stars - Ryan & Ashley S.

The Perfect Wedding Venue.. and a Fantastic place to Vacation!
My husband and I were married at Villa Marcella and it was the most magical experience of my life. The views are breathtaking- perfect golden sand, beautifully shaped boulders, and miles of open ocean. If you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further, you will not find a better place. We had a barefoot beach ceremony, and have stunning photos of the waves rippling behind us. There is plenty of room around the pool for the reception, and a great spot for a dance floor as well. We had 75 people and there was plenty of room. Aside from being the most beautiful wedding venue, Villa Marcella, Descanso and Gran Vista are all amazing places to just vacation with friends and family. We rented Descanso and Gran Vista for a week as well for our guests, and every single person said it was perfect in both accommodation and service. Adrian is the main caretaker of Villa Marcella and he is a kind, generous and personable man. And he is an incredible chef! We hosted group dinners before the wedding for our guests, and Adrian and the other caretakers cooked for everyone, and their dishes were really outstanding. His jumbo shrimp was to die for! If you stay here, you should absolutely have them cook for you. Having the staff was wonderful- they did the perfect job at gauging when we needed their help and when we needed privacy. The villa itself is spectacular. We called it the marble palace. And lastly, Amanda, the manager of the villa is the most helpful, responsive person I have ever dealt with. She told me last fall she would help me along the way since this was also my wedding venue, and she went way above and beyond responding to obscure questions from guests that I passed along to putting up signs on each door stating the name of the room, and much much more. She is an incredibly easy person to work with, which I think is a huge reason to also consider this for if not your wedding venue, than a great vacation spot. Best place I’ve ever stayed, hands down. 5/5 stars - Brittney M. (July 2015)
Exceptional service and even better accommodations - First Class!
Fred and his staff were awesome to work with - I could tell I was dealing with a first class operation on my initial inquiry. The team was very informative of the area, always available to answer questions and I was treated as a VIP at all times . The Villa was over the top - amazing views, a location that couldn't be better and onsite staff that helped with groceries, meals and other day to day housekeeping.
The day before our arrival, Hurricane Blanca threatened our entire vacation - we almost didn't go - naturally we were concerned about canceling last minute but Fred was a stand up guy - he offered us a full refund - the excitement got the best of us, we bit the bullet and decided to let the storm play out while we were there. Good thing we did because we had the time of our life. In the end we did leave a day early as the storm continued toward land fall - Fred once again was a class act and refunded us the last day we were not there. We had a large crew and this was only one of the Villas we rented, the other home was also a great experience but the service was not equal and there was no refund on the last day either. Amazing Villa and even better service - I was treated like a celebrity and lived like one too! 5/5 stars - Corey B (June 2015)
Incredible Beachfront Cabo Experience!
Villa Marcella was an incredible place to spend a weekend in Cabo! The beach is pristine and the ocean views cannot be beat. Sunsets and sunrises both were amazing. The beach is very walk-able and we explored many times.The house itself is also an absolute delight! All of the bed rooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen area is very conducive to big groups while the downstairs area was a great place to hang out with friends. We played pool, ping pong, swam, and relaxed. Overall, I could not give this villa higher marks! 5/5 stars - Alex G. (March 2015)

Villa Marcella, Beachfront in Pedregal
We recently visited Cabo for our third time and stayed at Villa Marcella with 2 other families, 13 of us total. I cannot say enough nice things about this property and how beautifully it worked for our group. There are two gorgeous master suites, another very nice smaller beach suite, and two add'l large bedrooms w/ two king beds each that worked wonderful for our teenagers. The rooms are all very private, allowing everyone to have their "space". The property is not within walking distance to town, but the beach in front of it is very nice, though not recommended for swimming. We did have a rental car but most nights called a taxi van to take us in and out of town. It worked out great. Adrian, the resident caretaker is a true gem and willing to do as much or as little as you would like......everyone in our group loved him and his homemade meals were truly the best meals we had in Cabo, fabulous! He speaks wonderful English and was very helpful each day with taxis, dinner reservations, and local connections. One windy day he even walked out on the beach with kites for our kids to fly, and another with fishing poles for evening fishing! We were also spoiled by the housekeeping, as that is not a provision we've experienced in other VRBO's we've rented in the past.....what a nice treat. Planning our trip was a piece of cake too with the help of the owner Fred (who actually came by twice while we were there to check on us), and his assistant Amanda.....they both were incredibly helpful with suggestions of local restaurants, dinner cruises, fishing boats, scheduling, etc. Overall, our stay was excellent, we absolutely recommend this property, and look forward ourselves to staying there again in the future! 5/5 stars - Caryn R.
