{"key":"casa-acantilado-cp","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"Acantilado means cliff, and the house is literal about it. Casa Acantilado is built into the granite on the Pacific edge of Pedregal, five bedrooms and five and a half baths above open water, with a private pool and a fire pit on the terrace and stone steps carved down the rock face to a platform closer to the sea. Eight hours of butler service come with the house every day. The view is the point, and it faces west, so the sunset is not something you have to go out and find."},{"section":"setting","heading":"Pedregal, Pacific side","body":"Pedregal is a gated community cut into the granite hills at the southern tip of Cabo San Lucas, with 24/7 security on the gate, large lots and steep streets. The Pacific side, where this house sits, is the quiet side, and the ocean is the loudest thing on the street. Everything else is a short drive downhill. The marina is about 8 minutes, Medano Beach about 10, The Cape about 5, and Playa Solmar at the foot of Pedregal about 3. Los Cabos International is roughly 40 minutes east, and Flora Farms about 35.","bullets":["Gated community with 24/7 security","Cabo San Lucas Marina, 8 minutes by car","Medano Beach, 10 minutes by car","Pedregal Beach (Playa Solmar), 3 minutes by car","The Cape Hotel, 5 minutes by car","Flora Farms, 35 minutes by car","Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), 40 minutes by car"]},{"section":"interiors","heading":"Five rooms, ten guests","body":"The bed plan is four kings and one twin room, and that fifth room converts to a king if the group is five couples rather than a family. Five and a half bathrooms serve the five bedrooms, so the arithmetic gives a bathroom per room plus a powder room, though the room list does not assign them, and it is worth confirming which room gets what before you allocate. The living space is oriented west toward the water and the terrace. Ten is the maximum, and the house is sized for that rather than stretched to it.","bullets":["Master suite and three further bedrooms, all kings","Fifth bedroom holds two twins, convertible to a king on request","Five and a half bathrooms for five bedrooms","Living space oriented west toward the Pacific","Maximum ten guests"]},{"section":"outdoors","heading":"Pool, fire pit, cliff steps","body":"The pool and its terrace face due west over open Pacific, and the fire pit is the other anchor of the outdoor space, which is where the group ends up after dinner once the wind drops. Outdoor dining is set up on the terrace. The feature people remember is the stairway: stone steps carved directly into the cliff face, running down from the terrace to a lower ocean-facing platform. They are solid but steep and exposed, and some sections have no railing, so they are not a route for small children to take unaccompanied.","bullets":["Private pool on a west-facing cliff terrace","Fire pit lounge","Stone steps carved into the cliff to a lower ocean platform","Outdoor dining on the terrace","Unobstructed Pacific views and sunsets","Cliff steps are steep, exposed and partly without railings"]},{"section":"activities","heading":"Sunsets and short drives","body":"The house does not put you on a beach, so the day tends to run pool, terrace, then out. Swimming happens in the pool, because the Pacific directly below Pedregal is rocky with strong currents and the on-site team will tell you the same. That caution holds along this whole side of the point, so a beach day means driving round to Medano, 10 minutes away on the calm water. Yacht charters and spa treatments are arranged through the concierge, and the marina is 8 minutes down the hill. Dinner is either cooked at the house by a chef brought in through the concierge, or out at The Cape, in town, or up at Flora Farms.","bullets":["Pool and fire pit evenings for the Pacific sunset","Swimming below the property is not advised, rocky with strong currents","Medano Beach, the swimmable beach, 10 minutes by car","Yacht charters and spa treatments arranged through the concierge","Flora Farms, about 35 minutes by car"]},{"section":"staff-service","heading":"Butler, housekeeping, chef","body":"Butler service is included for eight hours a day. The window is not published, so agree the timing with the on-site team when you confirm dates rather than assuming it runs late. Housekeeping comes daily. The concierge is the route to everything the house does not include: a private chef, which most groups book for dinner and which is quoted separately along with groceries, spa treatments brought to the villa, yacht charters and transport. Staff greet you on arrival at 3 PM check-in, checkout is 11 AM with late checkout charged by the hour, and support runs 24/7 through the stay.","bullets":["Daily butler service, 8 hours","Daily housekeeping","Private chef available through the concierge, charged separately","In-villa spa treatments available","Concierge for yacht charters, transport and reservations","24/7 support during the stay"]},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Two to five couples travelling together","Milestone celebrations, with events permitted up to 50 guests on approval","Anyone who wants the sunset side rather than the beach side","Groups who want staff without moving into a hotel","Stays of three nights or longer, the minimum here"]}]}
