This wasn't what we were expecting for the price. It is more like camping than a cabin. Not great if you'd like facilities to wash and shower. Also -- ensure you get directions in case the guard turns you away. The directions they provided didn't work because the guard wouldn't let us pass. Our rental car company made us sign a waiver saying we weren't covered by the mandatory insurance you have to buy in Mexico if we took the road that takes you to this location.Jodie2014-12-08T00:00:00Z
The location of Leon and Elena's is astounding and special. The way the desert, sea, and sky come together is other-worldly and one of the highlights of my life's trips. While I was there, I was in awe of the humpback whales off shore, the brilliant night sky, and stark desert beauty. The sleeping accommodations were charming and simple: a comfortable, spacious bed in a thatched roof palapa that felt like an ideal combination of shelter and open air freedom. The common area in the main building was a favorite place of mine with a hammock, curios, and a stunning, panoramic view of the Sea of Cortez. I was visiting at a time when I required a certain amount of privacy and Elena and Leon were respectful of this. What I hadn't anticipated were the earnest, easy discussions and kind, funny, and generous nature of my hosts. They are lovely people that I looked forward to visiting and eating with each day. The food Elena prepared was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The snorkeling at Cabo Pulmo, a few miles north, was world class and the region's lifeforms (plant, animal, and marine) were incredible.I could have spent many more days exploring the region while looking forward to coming back to home base to rest and refuel.Scott2014-03-26T00:00:00Z
We had an great week staying in Leon and Elena's palapa - the cooking, the tequila, the surf and the location were all perfect. The take off point for Shipwrecks can be seen from bed. We'd highly recommend it.Alanna2012-07-04T00:00:00Z
Leon ann Elena are super nice folks livin off the land and off the grid in an idyllic spot up the East Cape of the Baja penninsula. They are both interesting and engaging individuals with a wealth of information and insight, as well as very gracious hosts. The palapa is a perfect spot for both hard core surfers and aspiring naturalists alike. The view looking down on the break at Shipwrecks is AMAZING. I will be back! -SteveSteve2012-09-21T00:00:00Z
Best experience I have had in Baja to date. Elena and Leon are super genuine people and all I want to do is sit down at their open air table and hear their stories over and over and over. If you're looking for a true Baja experience with a true Baja couple, look no further. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this property and these beautiful people. Book with confidence.Mark2016-06-19T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay! Very beautiful and relaxing. Elena was a great host and chef. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway a bit off the grid.Matthew2014-08-12T00:00:00Z
Staying at the palapa was a fantastic experience and Leon Y Elena made me feel right at home in the incredible natural surroundings. I greatly enjoyed exploring the beaches and dry river beds in the area along with the sunrises and nights skies over the ocean while laying in the hammock in front of the palapa.Vladi2016-03-27T00:00:00Z
Leon and Elena's place is a slice of paradise. Waking up to see and hear crashing waves without moving an inch is an experience to be treasured. We had the beach nearly all to ourselves for our whole stay, and spent most of our days swimming and reading in various places. Leon and Elena are wonderful hosts, full of lovely stories and knowledge. I cannot recommend Elena's cooking enough, she uses fresh and local ingredients to create delicious meals that we will be missing very much come tomorrow! If you are a ceviche fan, be sure to ask her for some during your stay.. the best I have ever had! Be sure to check out Leo's surfboards, and if you are a music lover, he always loves music from around the world and would love any additions to his collection. We have heard the surfing here is phenomenal, but we are both talentless in that area. Hopefully when we come back (which we fully intend to) our skill won't be quite so embarrassing! As I lay here overlooking the ocean in a hammock, I am quite sad to be leaving. I would recommend this beautiful place to anyone who loves nature and has an appreciation for beauty in the simple things in life. This is one of our favorite places we have ever stayed, and are so grateful that the location has retained it's natural beauty for so long without the usual resorts and build up destroying it. Until next time, thank you so much for everything, Leon and Elena (and Beto!) Green and GraceGreen2014-11-14T00:00:00Z

The location was perfect!..the beach was within walking distance yet in a secluded location. If you're looking for a great deal, close to downtown and beach with luxurious rooms, but not too busy with traffic noise, look no further. Kirsten is very professional, accommodating, and friendly. We will gladly recommend to other friends and family. This property is a home-away-from-home, secure with a friendly staff, well-furnished and looks even better in person. We'll definitely be back!Michael2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Really nice condo! Very spacious. There were a lot of extras in the pantry like oils and spices, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Having the beach towels was really convenient, we ended up using those a lot as well as the small cooler to take it with us to Lover's Beach. It is about a 7 minute walk until you get to lay down right on the beach, but once you are there, there is lots to do, water taxis, snorkeling, parasailing, etc. We took a lot of taxis to the downtown area which was about a 5 minute drive. The guard in the front was so helpful and called us a taxi every time we needed it for reservations and such. The pool was not as clean right when we got there on Sunday. The pool guy got there on Tuesday and did a good job of cleaning it. The premises are very clean and kept up. Others mentioned the soccer field, the noise. It wasn't too bad as they only play until about 10 pm or so. The noise traffic was a little bit louder than I expected - it is a busy road, so I couldn't leave the sliding doors open at night to let the breeze in, but it wasn't a big deal. There is a binder with the wi-fi password, safe instructions, and suggestions on where to eat/what to do, how to turn on the TV, etc. That was very helpful as well!Jarinett2017-03-22T00:00:00Z
House was beautiful, walk to medano beach was fairly short. Best part of our trip was using the chairs and umbrella in the 2nd room closet then hiking past all the peddlers and resorts and sitting at the beach all day. City club around the block was very nice, basically a costco and only 1.50 usd each visit. Daniel at security was super helpful with anything that was needed, another gentleman couldn't speak english but he was able to call daniel on the phone to communicate though. Was a bit of noise like noted in other reviews from the road but a white noise app on my phone took care of the issue. Wonderful condo, would stay again for sure.Keith2016-12-17T00:00:00Z
Awesome place Awesome location!! We had an amazing time at Kirsten condo. Cruz at security helped us out a lot. Everyone on the property was great.Andrew & Holly2014-12-06T00:00:00Z
Everything was perfect! The condo was exactly as we expected. When we arrived, the facility manager, Cruz, was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen had all the basics and we were able to cook meals everyday. The location was really great - an easy walk to restaurant, bars and activities. The driver that Kristen set us up with was great, too. The only things that I wish were provided were some beach towels and chairs. Oh and another set of keys. These were very minor, really. We'll definitely be back! Thank you!!!!!Leigh2015-02-25T00:00:00Z

Great condo, probably the best condo on AirBnB I have ever stayed in. I notice Mexican condos are usually better that European condos, but this one was amazing and clean. Close to a great beach and close to some good restaurants. I would recommend and stay there again. Good host as well, responds within seconds. Don't want to put pressure on her, but she literally responded within seconds every time I emailed her. Excellent place and host!Isai2016-01-07T00:00:00Z

Mike's house was just what I needed. It's hard to describe the feeling of being perched on the side of the mountain, overlooking the valley, open to the wind and the sun. It is a beautiful location for sure. It is also near a town, so you can stay supplied and eat at local restaurants. The people were nice. Tessa, who was helping to manage the property, was very responsive, going out of her way to make my stay more enjoyable. Overall, this was a great stay and a unique property.Adam2015-11-01T00:00:00Z
Mike was very helpful in coordinating the stay. It was an easy drive from the airport and the property management stayed open late for our arrival. The place is gorgeous and any cooking enthusiasts would love the kitchen. It was the perfect house for a week-long retreat for rest and relaxation. Having a car for the stay was a definite plus for grocery store trips and other day-trips. We weren't there for kiteboarding like most people, but the long stretch of beaches served for all types. We were mostly happy to enjoy the beautiful home and amazing scenery at times of day and night.Jeffrey (and Hannah)2012-01-04T00:00:00Z
Mike's place is great - it provides you with a private getaway in a beautiful setting. High up in the mountain ridge you overlook the desert arroyo and the Sea of Cortez. You move amongst rooms on four different levels, to outlooks with comfy chairs across 7 different seating areas. You dip in a private pool and trapse barefoot in the sunshine. In town you can choose from lots of little grocery stores or good restaurants. You order sweaters from Tessa or have a massage with Kate and ride ATVs and swim in the ocean. It's all good - you should go :-)Kelly2012-04-01T00:00:00Z
A great place to stay on the East Cape of Baja! Mike has unique house with a great view of the sunrise and the surrounding fishing villages. Very private. Kitchen is very well equipped. It was a little warm in early October when we visited but cooling off in the pool was quite pleasant and made up for the lack of A/C. Splendid house, we would visit again!Peter2011-10-18T00:00:00Z
We loved Mike's hideaway house; it's very clean with unique furnitures and multiple killer views for sunrises and sunsets. A great surprise were the animal life - foxes, owls, and heard of goats and cows. Driving up to the house was a little intimidating at first, because we had a compact car, but easily got use to the terrain. We agree with the previous reviewer and recommend a 4WD or SUV for exploration. Also, check out the Baja Pony Express website for things to do and announcements like turtle releases.Tam2014-12-06T00:00:00Z
Thanks Mike for a great vacation! Our second year was even better than our first. Nathaniel (3 years old) and Ruthie (18 months) both loved playing in the pool and exploring the grounds.Harris2015-04-09T00:00:00Z
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully unique house: the many patios, the small but deep pool, the fully-equipped kitchen. Every room had an incredible vista. It was a tranquil place to come home to after a day of adventuring. Thank you Mike for making it available to rent.Christopher2012-04-18T00:00:00Z
Mike has an amazing place. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the South Baja. The town of Los Barriles was friendly and safe and a great place to set up as home base as you explore the Baja. Tessa was very helpful and helped guide us up to the place and offered great recommendations for food and activities.Chuck2012-12-30T00:00:00Z

Nice place and great value for what you get. The terrace is very nice to chill in the morning and evening. Adrian was great. Very responsive and helpfullChris2016-07-02T00:00:00Z
Adrian is a great host. For the price, you will love his place! All the extra details Adrian provides are above and beyond. Linens, hairdryer, free wifi, water and a welcome cocktail - just to name a few. The upstairs is a nice retreat! Adrian's place is a short walk to the resort area, if you want that. However, his location is the perfect spot to experience the true lifestyle of Cabo! We would recommend staying here.Deb2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
Adrian was beyond helpful, we got somewhat lost and he kindly picked us up. Everything was as listed and in a great location! Would definitely stay here again if I found myself in cabo.SELINA2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had a great time during our stay at Adrian place in the la isla condominiums. It's a relatively close walk to both the marina, downtown Cabo San Lucas Medano beach. The neighborhood was relatively lively but overall not too noisy at night. The condo itself fit our needs perfectly and was well equipped with anything needed for day to day living. Like many places in Cabo the water is often times spotty and hot showers are rare but it's a nice relief from the Cabo heat. There were some ants in the kitchen if you aren't careful of cleaning up immediately after you finish your mean. Overall a great experience.Demar2016-07-20T00:00:00Z
I had the challenge of a broken foot ( happened after I booked trip) and lost luggage. Adrian TOTALLY took care of me and I was able to press ahead and totally enjoy my stay. He was always available to assist me with any issues that I might of had. He was the MAN !!Gary2016-10-11T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at this location!!! The place was very nice, loved the jacuzzi tub, and we enjoyed walking to Max's and nearby taco stands! Thanks for being so helpful with our arrival and departure requests :)Jessica2014-10-28T00:00:00Z
WOW! My family can't say enough about the penthouse and James! We would highly recommend James' condo to everyone we know back home in Colorado and Las Vegas. We had so much fun relaxing, dining out, and enjoying his spacious and beautifully furnished penthouse right on the beach! The location and views and amenities are fabulous. The interior decor was award winning yet functional and very comfortable. Watching the sunsets from the balconies was such fun and the outside Jacuzzi on the upstairs master suite balcony was a big bonus! Since this was our first trip to PP, I hunted for weeks for accommodations, and this location, beyond a doubt, is the best I could have chosen: it is close to everything but private and safe for my family and grandkids. The accommodations are everything described and more. His condo is furnished beautifully with all the conveniences of home, but so elegantly accented. Right on the beach, and minutes away for anything you may need: from a short walk to a friendly main street EXXO or pharmacy, or only minutes by car to the marketplaces to shop and dine or stroll. The property staff was friendly and James was very responsive to all of our first time visitor questions we had. To start with James personally called us and gave us invaluable tips for our drive down from Phoenix via Lucasville, which were perfect for two families traveling with a 4-year old. He also provided us his local recommendations from restaurants to shopping to markets, and they all were exceptional, just like his condo. James was such a pleasure to work with. He communicated by phone and email and it was clear he was there to help anytime. He made our trip and arrival so easy from Phoenix. Having been using vacation rentals for years, I mean it when I say, he is the best I have had the good fortune to find as a host. BTW - as an "added bonus" there were several year round residents we met at the pool or beach, who were all very friendly and filled with great local recommendations and directions, as well as delightful conversations over drinks.Michael2014-04-05T00:00:00Z
James responded promptly and positively to our short-notice request for availability on the next day. He also was candid about the fact that the Jacuzzi was inoperative and gave us the option of cancelling the request. The condo description was accurate but we overlooked the additional fees mentioned under other information. Comfortable, spacious and well provisioned, conveniently located close to the beach, good choice if you enjoy condo environment. Upstairs suite provides great privacy.victor2015-04-14T00:00:00Z
James was so responsive and accommodating to work with. We were communicating within ten minutes after I sent my booking request. The Condo was perfect! It was very cozy, spacious and more then we had expected. We stopped and picked up groceries and conveniently made breakfast and lunch daily in the kitchen, which was equipped with all the dishes, pans, etc. The resort is right on the beach, just steps from the water. Parking is secure and safe. There are restaurants just across the street, and the marina is a short five minute drive where there are more restaurants and shops.Cindi2014-08-20T00:00:00Z
Andrew and James were wonderful hosts. They were prompt and professional in all of their correspondence. Thanksgiving, 2016 was a special one for us. Having had our big feast at home the Sunday prior, we enjoyed an amazing view, beautiful sunsets and amazing food just a short walk around the corner. This was our first time staying on 'this side" of Sandy Beach and felt it had the charm of old Mexico. It was wonderful one night doing what we called a "taco crawl." Yes, you must visit the Barrel Truck for the best fish tacos ever. Our unit was spacious and well equipped. If we needed anything, the front desk was pleasant and accommodating to our needs. We'd love to return in the future. Thanks guys!Terese2016-11-29T00:00:00Z

My sister and I had a great time in Cabo. Ale was very helpful and answered all of my questions promptly, especially regarding transportation to and from the airport. The welcome basket was great! We did not rent a car since everything was within walking distance, and we felt safe during our whole stay. I would recommend Ale's apartment to my family and friends.Joana2016-12-21T00:00:00Z
We had a marvelous time at Ale's place. It was exactly as described and Ale was very responsive to our questions (it was our first time in Cabo). The condo was clean, easy to find, and the location was perfect for us as we wanted a "local stacation" experience. Everything we wanted to see was about a 10-15 minute walk. The residents and staff were really friendly and helpful. We felt safe. We'll definitely go back if we visit Cabo San Lucas again!Ives2015-11-29T00:00:00Z
We wanted a place that was close to downtown and the beach and that's what we got with Alejandra's place. It's small but beautiful, located within a quaint community with a polite security guard. We are very pleased with our visit and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a more affordable option than the hotels but still close to all the action.Derek2014-03-03T00:00:00Z
Ale is AMAZING! And I didn't even get to meet her! From the moment I booked the apartment, she was already a phenomenal host. She answered all of my questions through email and was very very easy to get in contact with. Her instructions to get to the apartment are very clear, and she listed some of her recommendations for Cabo. My friends and I were excited to see a little welcome basket that had yummy wine and the best Kellogg bars (that seem to only be available in Mexico) I've ever had-- why doesn't America sell these?! These gifts were such a nice touch which we were grateful for. The apartment is spacious and can fit 4 people very comfortably. Everything was clean and organized, and it's honestly the perfect space if you plan on spending most of your time out exploring Cabo. It's a mere 10 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to get to downtown. There are great restaurants near by, and the buso del desierto drops you off right in front of the complex from the airport. This location was convenient and a great value! I will mention that the sofa bed and the bed weren't the most comfortable, but honestly, we spent most of our time outside of the apartment anyway. It wasn't a big deal to us at all! The second day I struggled with the pull out sofa, and Alejandra came by while we were at the beach to get it all set up for me :-) She is such a sweetheart and her apartment is a fantastic find. I'm so glad I stumbled across this listing, thank you so much for everything, Alejandra!Caroline2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Alejandra's place is clean and comfortable. It's about a 15 minute walk to downtown or the beach bars. She's a great and patient host. I had trouble connecting to the WiFi (100 % my fault) but she got me through it ☺william2015-12-20T00:00:00Z
We had a great experience at Alejandras condo. The pictures were accurate but what is not shown is the huge effort that Alejandra has put in to making the space as functional as it can be and making the guest feel super welcome. There were so many little touches like the gift basket, information brochures and sundry items that made us feel very special. The location is great, not noisy, but an easy walk to the beach and center of the action. Everyone in the complex was very friendly. The pool was being retiled while we were there so unfortunately we didnt get to take advantage of what looks to be an awesome outdoor area just steps from the condos door. Highly recommend.Duggan2015-03-22T00:00:00Z
Not only was Ale one of the kindest and easiest hosts to communicate with but Ale's place was perfect! It was very clean. The AC worked well in the hot summer temperatures and it was conveniently located to Medano Beach.Alison2014-08-05T00:00:00Z
Ale was a wonderful host!! She was prompt with her responses via email, she provided a video about how to get the keys and access the place, and she even provided some snacks and wine! She is WONDERFUL!Rachel2016-01-06T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I decided to visit Puerto Peñasco for the first time. He wanted to stay in a unique place different than a hotel room. We were really surprised by the elegance and comfort of the unit. The beautiful decorations and design of it made us feel very special. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and it was just for us to enjoy, almost like a private beach. We slept while hearing the Ocean dance. There are no words to describe it. We enjoyed staying 5 nights in this beautiful and unique private place. We'll definitely go back and reserve again with same hosts without hesitation. Janet and her husband are very kind and helpful. They made us feel absolutely comfortable, at the same time very respectful with our privacy. I would like to mention that I do energy work and I'm very sensitive to the energy at homes or hotels. This place has great clean energy and high vibration. We absolutely recommend it.Jeannette2014-07-28T00:00:00Z
Janet and her husband greeted us when we arrived and were very friendly. They provided us with a map and coupons for restaurants in the area. They recommended Casa del Capitan restaurant with an amazing view, strong drinks and yummy food. The unit is a great space for a couple. It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The bed was comfortable and we loved that we could keep the sliding door open to feel the ocean breeze. The beach was really nice and we had it all to ourselves. They provided awesome beach chairs and also offered their umbrella. The weather was so perfect that we didn't even need the canopy we brought and a beach hat was sufficient. The view from the balcony was gorgeous and we made sure to catch the sunset from the patio chairs each evening. We were in town to look for potential wedding venues and before we left, Janet and her husband gave us some great tips as we'll be traveling there more often. We had a great time and we look forward to staying here again.Markanthony and Ruby2015-11-14T00:00:00Z

The unit was exactly what we were expecting from the description. Great place to stay!Paula2016-03-13T00:00:00Z
This is our second time staying with John and Janet. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet! My fiancé and I will definitely be back for a third, fourth, fifth time. This condo is located at the end of the row of all the resorts on Sandy Beach, making it the best spot on the beach! There's no one to the right of you, so we always have the beach to ourselves, away from vendors and people. We've visited before during busy season in the summer months and saw the beach absolutely covered with people and vendors, but it's always open space right by us! Their unit is beautiful and has all the perfect small touches that make you feel at home - popcorn, tea, coffee, and always 2 beers in the fridge waiting for us. The patio has a small grill, a table and two chairs, and two lounge chairs with a great view of the beach. The bed is extremely comfy too which is a plus! Also the workers at the gate and on the grounds are all wonderful. Their unit is right next door, but you have complete privacy. They are there to greet you when you arrive, leave, and any other time you need them. We loved running into them in the hallway and chatting! We can't wait be to back!Becky2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
Janet and John were very gracious hosts and we really enjoyed our time in their unit. The views from that unit are to die for, and there is no other place on sandy beach with better views of the sunset. Will definitely visit again! Tvaresh2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

I just checked out and noticed the cleaner didn't change the bedsheets. Is horrifying! No wonder I feel that the linen not properly clean.The bathroom has strong odor and can't flush properly. Despite the fact that Adrian is friendly to help me collect my laundry across the street. I have to provide honesr feedbacks as this is not something I think is value the money. The wall paint needs freshen up.. the room is so dark and wall paint are dated. The area is walking distance to Marina but the surrounding has no accessible to beach. sorry, not a return for me after knowing the cleaner didn't change bedsheetsGladys2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

This bnb was fantastic! Adrian was a great host. He corresponded with me the day before my trip to check in- if we needed a ride from the airport, what our plans were, etc. He continued to check in throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well. He gives great recommendations and superior hospitality. I felt extremely safe in his apartment and well cared for. I highly recommend this bnb for your stay in Cabo. Muchos gracias, Adrian!Jessica2016-08-24T00:00:00Z
From the first day of booking the unit, Adrian reached out and provided information about Cabo regarding restaurants, things to do, etc.. I could not have asked for a better host! I consider Adrian to be a friend after our experience. The unit was conveniently located where walking to all parts of Cabo was never an issue. I felt safe enough to go on a run on my own as a young woman. The unit was very cozy, clean, and quiet. This was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation home. A maid kept the place tidy while we were out and about. Adrian also provided beach towels, an umbrella, and cooler for our visit to the beach -- this was an excellent touch! We definitely will be back! Thank you so much, Adrian and Monica, for your hospitality and friendship!!Tamera2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Wow... This was the best experience I've ever had. Adrian is amazing. Every step of the way he made sure it was an easy transition. He gave me directions for taking the bus to the house and I saved $50, because the bus is only $4. He then picked me up, gave me a city tour, and showed me where all of the best local food spots were. I tried all of them and they were amazing. I had questions about hikes, boat rides, zip lines, and so much more and he had an answer or a guy for that. The room was just as pictured. Clean, welcome snacks and drinks, fresh soft towels, and A/C that will cool you in minutes. Once I made it back to my room, I was able to watch Netflix with no issues, FaceTime my family, and check my (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) status updates( Because I know that's important to some people). I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place.Terrence2017-01-06T00:00:00Z
Highly recommended, I will be contacting Adrian hopefully his location is available next time I go to Cabos again! Adrian is a great host, gives you a run down what places to go and where to eat in Cabos. The apartment is only a couple of blocks/ 10 min walk to downtown where all the restaurants/ bars / clubs are at. Thank you AdrianJose2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Excelente ubicación, la terraza es muy cómoda y bonita, la vista es hermosa. Nuestras anfitrionas con exelente disposición, nos apoyaron muchísimo y ayudaron a tomar decisiones, un placer regresar a La Paz. 100% recomendable.Claudia2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay here. Awesome location only 2 streets away from the beach and beautiful area with 2 bedrooms and a lovely outdoor area that looked onto the port. They were incredibly hospitable and even bought us a pot so that we could cook that night which was so nice. Would definitely recommend this place if you're visiting, great value for a lovely place.Adam2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
It is a really nice and clean place. You will have a ocean view from the balcony. Walking distance to the Malecon and downtown. Argentina and Carmen are warm hosts, so are their parents. Highly recommended!Dominic2017-01-03T00:00:00Z
Our family of four had a great stay here. Fransisco and his family were very welcoming and helpful. In fact he helped up fix our flat tire! The house is a short walk from the Malecon, and there were lots of good restaurants nearby. The listing says there are only two beds, but there were three when we were there, which was perfect for our family, so we were pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't plan on cooking there, as there isn't much in the way of cookware, but there are cups, plates, etc. and a fridge and sink. There is also a large water cooler, which was nice.Patty2016-12-19T00:00:00Z
we had an awesome stay at this cozy terrace! is is just perfect for a stay of 4 persons, either a family or two couples! our hosts were really friendly and the communication was uncomplicated and fast! and the price-performance ratio is really good!Jessica2016-12-16T00:00:00Z

I felt so welcomed. Like old friends. I arrived by Bus transfer and right away Carmen graciously took me shopping to make sure I had food at the suite. It was a perfect getaway to have quiet time, and enjoy the view down to the marina. The place was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Thank you so much to all the family for being so loving and caring .Cheryl2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

The only major issue I had, was with the address because there really isn't one. The best way to describe it to a taxi driver is to say that it is located in El Tezal behind the Costco and that the condos are called Privanzas. Besides that, the place is nice and roomy and my friends and I really enjoyed our time there. Jorge was also nice enough to let my friends stay in after the check out time since their flight was later on.Stephanie2017-03-21T00:00:00Z

The stay in Los Cabos at Jorge's place was fantastic! The location of the house is perfect if you have a car. 7 of us stayed for 2 nights, had a warm welcome from the father of Jorge and an incredibly comfortable stay (along with a delicious bbq!). We would recommend a stay here.Ciara2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

Dulce's husband greeted us, gave us the keys and even talked to us for a while about what we should explore. Apartment is well decorated and extremely clean, with an awesome modern look and feel. My girlfriend and I loved the kitchen, bathroom and the beds are extremely comfortable. Oh, and the A/C is a life saver. It's just a few minutes away from the Malecon, which is great for those that want to explore without being too far away. While it is just a few minutes away, it's still far away from the noise on the boardwalk that makes it the perfect place to stay. Overall, had a great experience here. Seriously, best spot to stay in La Paz. Would stay again 10/10.Nelson2016-03-05T00:00:00Z
Thank you Dulce and Ricardo for making our stay so comfortable. The condo was lovely and the location worked well for us. We appreciated the extra details and the well stocked kitchen. Our questions were answered so quickly. Many thanks!Kelly2016-01-11T00:00:00Z
I love staying here, It felt Like home, the place was exactly the way its advertised. They were very helpful and made us feel welcomed. Everything I needed was there, The only thing was i didn't get a rental the day I landed(that would have made finding the place easier) I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quite, privet place to stay yet still so closed to the city.Jazmin2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
El departamento es muy bonito, las camas muy cómodas y cuenta con todos los servicios necesarios. La zona es hermosa y se pueden admirar los atardeceres espectaculares propios de La Paz.

Jaimi's casita was a nice, quiet place to enjoy Todos Santos. An easy drive to the centro, but secluded enough to enjoy the beach almost to yourselves. Close to the turtle release center, which was a lot of fun.Angela2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
We felt very welcomed here! Alex greeted us and was very helpful with recommendations. Our casita was really charming. It had everything we needed and was very clean. They supplied us with plenty of filtered water and the bed was very comfortable. It was really hot without the AC but we were there during some of the hottest months so I don't think it would be an issue if you rent during the winter months. It is also a short walk to a really beautiful beach, a wonderful sunset spot. This is not a good beach for getting in the water so take note of that. The shore break and currents are really strong. It seemed to be a better beach for waking and sunsets. The neighborhood felt very safe and quiet. There is also not a lot of light pollution so you could see so many stars at night! I would definitely recommend this place and you can't beat the price!Bree&Kyle2015-09-30T00:00:00Z
The casita is lovely, it is located just a few meters away from the beach and it has a little kitchen, a fridge, and beach equipment. We met Jaimi after we arrived and she was helpful. The casita is just beautiful and I would have loved to stay for much longer.Paola2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
Jaimi was an awesome host! She was super sweet, gave us great recommendations & made us feel very welcome. The Casita was perfect! My boyfriend and I were there for 9 days and definitely plan on returning. It's a really well laid out space that's cozy & functional. The kitchen is simple but sufficient, we cooked quite a bit and never felt that we were short of cooking utensils. The neighborhood is awesome! A couple minutes walk to the beach, a quick drive to the market, town and the local surf beach. I would definitely recommend renting a car to take full advantage of all the area has to offer. There are soo many wicked restaurants, beaches, galleries & the rest of the Baja to explore! All in all it was an amazing experience and we can't wait to get back :)Elise2016-03-02T00:00:00Z
Jaimi was an brilliant host- she'd thought of every detail that would be needed, had great advice for the local area and even kindly picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station. She loaned me her bike to use for the 4k ride into town (next time I will rent a car!) and she and her cute dog Bonnie were great company! The casita was great and in a lovely safe and quiet neighbourhood by a gorgeous beach, and I mean quiet- enough to hear the bees and the birds! I'm reluctant to share just how much I loved this place in case the crowds descend- but Todos Santos is a truly amazing town and it's the people there that make it the most special. Thanks Jaimi!Phoebe2015-10-22T00:00:00Z
Es un lugar muy comodo, cerquita del mar y muy tranquiloGabriela2017-02-01T00:00:00Z
El espacio es pequeño pero muy bonito y limpio; tiene todo lo necesario en terminos básicos (cafetera, horno de microondas, toallas limpias, guías turísticas) y está a calle y media de la playa, a menos de 10 minutos del centro del pueblo. Hay que considerar que en esta playa no se puede nadar ya que el mar es un poco agresivo, y esto también provoca un poco de ruido por las noches; la playa también está un poco sucia pero el pueblo es muy muy bonito. Si tienes que llegar tarde (como fue mi caso) es poco probable que pueda recibirte; ella debe dejar pasar el agua y el gas (en mi caso llegué posterior a las 8:30 pm y no pudimos bañarnos ni cocinar nada). Fuera de eso, la anfitriona es muy amable.Ammy2016-11-01T00:00:00Z
We had a fabulous time staying in Jaimi's surf beach casita! We were only in Todos Santos for five days, but our little casita in the Las Tunas neighborhood of Todos Santos (up the hill and closer to the water than the downtown area) was the perfect place to come lay our bones after a day at the beach. Jaimi made us feel very welcome– we so appreciated the towels, cooler, and umbrella she left waiting for us and for her recommendations she came and gave us in person on the first day. She and her husband also generously provided us with two foam boards and surf racks to use during our stay. Thanks Jaimi and Steve, and congratulations on the birth of Cruz!Mikayla2016-05-22T00:00:00Z

Mauro's family and place are a wonderful human experience altogether. From Mauro's travel stories to Patty's self-sufficient skills and everyone's cooking, from their children's love of Life to the serenity surrounding this out-of-this-world location, we had the most incredible time and cannot thank them enough for all the care and attention they've been given us. We love them and stole a piece (peace?) of them to keep in our hearts during our travel :-) Thanks again sooooo much for ths very special time ! See you soon, insh'ALLAH !antoine2013-12-11T00:00:00Z
Gracias Mauro y Paty, los felicito tienen una familia muy agradable y un estilo de vida que es ejemplar en estos tiempos de cuidar los recursos del planeta ademas sus pizzas estan riquisimas, mis amigos y yo realmente solo queriamos un sitio para dormir despues de la pesca, y nos sorprendieron, la vista es impresionante, gracias por recibirnosjoaquin2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
I stayed in Bahia at Mauro's place for about a week. It was a truly memorable experience in many ways. Bahia is a beautiful paradise of pristine, clean beaches where you can walk for hours barely seeing another soul, and much wild and marine life. While walking on the beach I saw dolphins jumping and a whale shark that came very close to shore! It was amazing. Beaches are 10-15 minutes by car depending on which you choose. The town is clean and the people are very kind and welcoming. I've researched CalEarth sand bag homes and have always wanted to stay in a sand bag home. Mauro's home is beautifully handcrafted with very large bedrooms and comfortable beds - amazing insulation too! I really didn't notice that I was "off the grid" too much because there is wifi when you need it and propane for the fridge and stove and hot water for the shower. It's nice to wash your clothes by hand and the compost bucket toilets are nothing to be weary of - there was NO smell and I had no idea how these things could work so I learned a lot! It was clean and fun. There are 3 sweet puppies who sleep outside (bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper b/c sometimes they will chase away a coyote at night); there are cats who are mostly outdoor (I have strong cat allergies and I had no problem at all as the hosts keep them out of the bedrooms common areas); and there is a short, steep unpaved driveway that may be a little scary the first time you go up but then it gets easy! The hosts are the kindest of kind and it was a pleasure to interact with Alex who seems a real gem. Life is simple at Mauro's place ...you will love it...cook, read, walk, relax and breathe the clean air! Stay more than 2 days if you can!MD2016-01-06T00:00:00Z
Magical, enchanting, super special and unforgettable - and that's just the property in the sky above BdLA. Then you meet Mauro and realise you are in the presence of a mind, and a mission, that's so tuned into the past, present, future and potential of this area of Baja. The property is eco and rustic off-the-grid and if you want some special time, alone with the sound of the air and the birds, then book! The private little house outside looks especially inviting although we had a room in the house. Thank you again to Mauro for this special time, and the great books and recommendations. XRhona2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Mauro, but his place is a beautiful example of old world craftsmanship and environmentally sustainable living. Our host Mariam was a wonderfully sweet lady. Though the winds were pretty extreme in winter, Mauro's place give and amazing view of the Sea of Cortez and Bahia de Los Angeles.John2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
I would like to stay here again and much longer! Beautiful abode on the mountain overlooking the ocean, eco-friendly toilet and super friendly host, Mauro.jamie2016-12-08T00:00:00Z
This place has a lot of character! Alex was very helpful and responsive leading up to our stay and our host was extremely nice. The twin beds were comfy. We lounged the next day for a bit reading books and looking at various other parts of the property. We enjoyed the town and area very much and wish we had planned more time there. While walking on the beach near the lighthouse, we had dolphins swim right up to shore while they were feeding. One note about the town is that it is best to have cash because some places, gas stations included, do not accept card transactions. Nearest ATM is in Guerrero Negro.Ben2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Our trip to Bahia was our 3rd this year and first time at Mauro's Posada...and this was our best trip yet! The posada is the only location in Bahia where you can stay atop the hillside with views of the entire bay...which are breathtakingly fantastic! Not to mention that the posada itself is an eco inspiration! A literal feat of hard work and ingenuity perched atop a pile of rocks. Solar powered w composting sewage and desalinated water. There are many an interesting story to be heard about the creation and still in progress vision for the property. Mauro is a well respected and invaluable member of the Bahia community and was an extremely welcoming and hospitable host. Mauro introduced us to both new friends and experiences. Swimming with whale sharks, boat rides to secluded island beaches, hiking the desert peaks, sourcing a fresh caught seafood feast, and the list goes on... This is not for anyone looking for something fancy...this is not a resort town...we appreciate that but keep this in mind! The posada has all your basic necessities while striving for sustainability and incorporating eco-friendly methods. Rooms were clean and comfortable. No a/c but a great breeze outside from atop the hillside. Shared kitchen with a large communal table where we shared several evenings together. The restroom is detached from the main posada with a composting toliet and a sink/shower with running water. Wifi is available. We'd recommend having a vehicle for getting down to town or to the beach. If you love animals, you'll also like the additional perk of a playful pack of adorable kittens frolicking around the property, as well as two chicken coops, a rabbit den, and two friendly dogs. :) When we are back in Bahia, we will most definitely stay here once more. A great experience.Staci & Alex2013-08-27T00:00:00Z

Karla made me feel very welcome and at home. I had the misfortune of being the 5th flight arriving at Cabo at the same time which made me very late to arrive at Hacienda Hermosa. I was quite frazzled when I got there and Karla (the manager) had made me the most delicious guacamole and salsa with a margarita. Really, this got my holiday back on the right track. The house is beautiful. It's everything that I expected (clean, comfortable and an amazing pool/spa).Christopher2015-05-25T00:00:00Z
Major home envy when I stepped foot inside of Hacienda Hermosa! This place is absolutely stunning- the pictures are beautiful but don't do it enough justice. Karla set everything up in a timely manner and greeted us with margaritas, chips, salsa, and guacamole upon arrival. She was helpful with every question, and made reservations for us along the way. Jeff's team of Karla (concierge) and Rebecca (housekeeper) made the place feel like home and it was also very clean. We enjoyed grilling, cooking in the kitchen, and the pool was amazing! The house is a short walk from a stunning beach! Everything was perfect. We cannot wait to return to Hacienda Hermosa. Already talking about our next trip.Kimberly2015-09-08T00:00:00Z
We all had such an amazing stay at Hacienda Hermosa! Jeff's home is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. There were seven people in our group, and we all enjoyed every minute of our visit, starting with Karla's hospitality, welcoming us with margaritas, chips, salsa and guacamole. None of us had been to Cabo before, and Karla was so very kind in helping us with our plans and giving us great recommendations. The house is lovely, spacious and immaculately maintained, the pool and hot tub couldn't be nicer, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the grounds are beautiful. We pre-ordered groceries (a big plus for our group), and Karla made dinner reservations for us for three nights during our stay (delicious food). We rented a car at the airport, which worked well for grocery shopping, errands and a day at Playa Santa Maria, a beautiful beach that Karla suggested. We used taxis in the evening to go into town, and the service was great. We also enjoyed walking around Santa Carmela, down to the community pool and beach, with a spectacular view of the coastline. I would definitely recommend a stay at Hacienda Hermosa. No one in our group wanted to leave and everyone wants to go back! Thank you to Jeff and Karla.Elaine2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
The host welcomed us with drinks and a snack and was very warm and informative. The home was very clean, spacious, and well equipped with supplies. We had a very relaxing, enjoyable time by the pool and spa. Prime location close to many hot spots. Encountered Very kind staff and people.Hala2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Hacienda Hermosa awesome experience, from beginning to end, and we can't wait to return to Cabo and hopefully to one of Jeff's properties. The house was beautiful, modern, well kept, and very clean, and Karla, the property manager, was wonderful to work with. Not only did she contact us in advance for grocery lists, to arrange airport transfers and activities, she met us at the house (with Margaritas and Chips & Guacamole!), showed us around, and made sure we were comfortable. She was in contact throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed, provided us with a ton of helpful advice, and really enhanced the entire experience for us. The house itself is perfectly laid out for couples, with 3 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms in each. There's plenty of room in the living and dining areas, the kitchen is well-stocked and easy to cook and entertain in, and the pool area is beautiful. The pool and hot tub were both extremely clean and in great repair, further evidence that the property is extremely well cared for. The Santa Carmela community where the house is located is about 15 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas in a gated and secure community, and the guards were very friendly and responsive when it came to calling taxis for us. I'd stay here again in an instant.Ryan2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

We just returned from a 3 night girls' weekend at Hacienda Hermosa and LOVED it! The house is beautiful, spacious and very luxurious. In fact, it exceeded our expectations. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed returning to it each day to relax. We loved the location. The gated community is very quiet and yet we were only a 10 minute drive to town. Karla, our concierge, was extremely helpful and easily available throughout our stay. She went out of her way to make sure our stay was enjoyable - and it was! We hope to be back!Dianne2015-09-13T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying at drift. The place had such a relaxing feel and we loved jumping in the pool after a day of exploring the area. Would 100% stay again and recommend it to friends!Kati2016-11-04T00:00:00Z
Having traveled quite a bit, I can say I'm picky about accommodation. I generally look for something different, something in the feel and style that stands out, for a reasonable price. Drift is exactly this. A wonderful little oasis of quiet, incredibly stylish in its sobriety. It is a gem that is not to be missed. Stu is a wonderful host and you'd be mad not to ask for his recommendations on what to do. He will make you discover a Cabo you never knew existed. I would strongly recommend renting a car for your stay, there is a lot to see and it's not easily accessible otherwise.Gregoire2014-03-12T00:00:00Z
This unique boutique hotel is an exceptional alternative to the lazy routine resort travelling. A whole new appreciation for the Baja courtesy of our first yet perfect Airbnb experience. Drift completely changed our perception of Mexico and left us with planning our next return visit. We recently stayed for five nights over the Easter Long Weekend with a group of 7. Despite the holiday, Drift encouraged a number of Cabo adventures from Art Walks on Thursday, Farmers Market on the Weekend to visiting neighbouring creative projects in the making. We definitely recommend renting a car & were super impressed with the service from National Car Rental (just a couple of blocks from Drift) - they gave us a great rental package (+ bonus of being a Drift referral). The most amazing food experiences all within walking distance: brunch at Lolita's, the perfect thin crust pizza joint, Argentinian steak house to the most amazing tacos. Or get in the car for the best fish tacos & pesto ceviche at the Drunken Sailor or for you pork lovers the best Carnitas ever. A collection of open concept plans offer a unique experience within each of the 8 rooms. Drift has a modern do it yourself approach with the perfect combination for raw minimalist detailing: white walls, black steel, concrete detailing and beautiful sliding doors. Loved how the carefully placed communal kitchen, fire pit, and 2nd floor terrace open up to great conversations & spontaneous out of town adventures. I highly recommend to those who want to really experience the Baja, you should definitely consider Drift as your first pick. Its the greatest home base for learning all the hidden gems of waterfalls to hot springs, modern architectural homes to enjoying the company of our lovely hosts Bajacowboy & Clarita.

This place is amazing! They design and layout is so unique. We had a group of about 8 friends that stayed here, so it was nice having everyone together in the common areas. The staff was super nice and helpful with any questions we had. Loved the common kitchen area and the free coffee and OJ in the mornings. We only stayed there for one night, wished we would have stayed longer.Mary2015-04-27T00:00:00Z
The Drift is for the minimalist & adventure traveler on a budget. A cool place with lovely staff & a resident well behaved pup named Clara. It is safe & there is a communal kitchen to make your meals if you choose. The beds are not very comfortable & the shower is lukewarm at best, however we managed. Lol. It is a different concept & the fire pit & kitchen & tequila bar (which was not open during our stay but looked yummy).... & roof top place to hang was very nice! Thank you Stu, Christian & the staff at The Drift. We appreciate your welcome! xBrenda & PatBrenda Marie2015-12-22T00:00:00Z
Great experience, great host. The property was very nice, as well as the rooms. Very helpful at suggested good local restaurants also. Good community feel with the other guests too - very easy to hang out and meet them if you wanted to.Joshua2015-04-19T00:00:00Z
My friend and I had an awesome time at Drift. Stu and the staff were very considerate and accommodating, and Stu always took the time to answer our questions and provide us with great recommendations. San Jose del Cabo took a big hit with the hurricane. We visited only a couple of months after it hit, and we were impressed by how quickly the town, and Drift, were working to get back on their feet. Though Stu and the staff were very busy with repairs, they made sure to check in with us regularly to be sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our experience. Finally, the hotel dog, Clara, is adorable, sweet and polite. Yes, polite!! She completely stole our hearts. We will definitely be coming back, and I will be recommending Drift to anyone looking for a modern and service-oriented non-resort option in Los Cabos.Paloma2014-11-15T00:00:00Z
DRIFT was wonderful! Highly recommended for people looking for a place to relax and stay above the fray of Cabo San Lucas, yet still be nearby lots of fun things to do and see. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The rooms are charmingly simple and very comfortable (nice beds!) and well put together. The shower in the bathroom was also very nice. The overall atmosphere of Drift is extremely relaxing, charming, and inviting.The communal kitchen and small swimming pool were nice places to chill and chat with the other guests. Drift provides coffee and fresh oranges to squeeze for juice in the morning. Such a nice touch! There are plenty of good restaurants nearby to Drift in San Jose del Cabo as well.Scot2015-08-11T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the Ikea house and loved that it was close to all the things we wanted to see and do and loved the privilege of being able to bring our dog with us. If there is a down side it would be you literally are up with the chickens as the rooster starts to crow about 3:00am. But it gets you up early for breakfast at the Kaffee Haus or Luckys. Would stay here again.Candace2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

This was our third stay on this place, is great value for your money, comfortable, secure, and we have everything we need. Closed to the fish, market, Bar and restaurant around town...the first time we stayed we meet Tom, his fund and a great host. This place is just a short drive to our Dentist Clinic that we go. There's a lot of restaurant closed by from this place if you knew your way around Rocky Point.Sally2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Tommy and Rita's place was EXACTLY what we wanted! Great value, perfect location, walking distance from everything! It was in the center of town and not in a secluded area. Would HIGHLY recommend, we felt very safe and had a great time! Thank you guys so much!!Anita2017-01-09T00:00:00Z
This place turned out to be a cute little spot within walking distance of the Old Port (if you don't mind a bit of a walk) and the beach. The bed was very comfortable and wi-fi and the Roku were great after getting back from the beach. Things to note: the floor is concrete, so bring thick socks and there are chickens in the yard, so you shouldn't mind a little animal life. The hosts were very helpful, but kept to themselves, allowing for a good amount of privacy.Kara2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
Thank you Tommy and Rita! We enjoyed our stay in your IKEA house. It was exactly what we needed during our visit to Rocky Point. We spent much of our time out exploring, but your little casita was the perfect place to make our home base. We enjoyed being in an actual neighborhood and not a resort and were close to the beach and restaurants. Tommy and Rita provided us with an excellent map of the area highlighting restaurants and activities and were quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our stay. Thanks again!Leigh2014-04-07T00:00:00Z

It certainly fooled me. My immediate thought, before reading the story, was that the man had been bankrupted. Ruined is more likely to be found in the business pages. We rather enjoy reading about fallen tycoons, but this Mail headline was designed to make us angry.
Roughly speaking, there are only five things that can be ruined: buildings, finances, picnics, puddings and reputations. The first was the original meaning, ruina, being the Latin for a serious fall. The next three are still much in use, and, though provoking in their various ways, are not the sort of thing to outrage readers of the Mail.
The fifth is the tear-jerker. It takes us back to an age both more conventional and more romantic than ours, when, for example, lovely women who stooped to folly were banned from society and never held up their heads again. The Mail's headline revives those echoes, but it doesn't mean that either: it means "utterly demoralised", which is even more archaic. Today, most people in such a situation would more probably say their lives were "wrecked" or, perhaps, "shattered", a word the reporter did use here.
A mistake by the Mail then? Not necessarily. Popular newspapers tend to devalue words, using them too often for trivial purposes. This does the opposite; and anything that restores a bit of grandeur to our common vocabulary should be welcomed.Reuse content

Drop Hammer On Real Estate Agents Who Play Both Sides For Profit
In hidden camera footage recently captured by CBC's Marketplace, a real estate agent, her face blurred, assures prospective buyers a home is practically theirs. "I control both sides," she says. "And before any other offer comes in to make it a multiple offer situation, I'll try to close the deal for you. I'll use my power in order to get you the house."
If these promises seem too good to be true, especially in Toronto's blisteringly competitive housing market, that's because they are. The agent in question is blatantly breaching the code of ethics established by the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act (REBBA), which states real estate professionals can't use confidential information to give their clients an advantage, or manipulate a transaction.
According to the CBC's report, these agents are "double-ending" their commissions by representing both the buyer and the seller. While this is a fairly normal practice and can be handled ethically, what is in these videos demonstrates a breach of fiduciary duty to their seller clients, and a breach of the code of ethics between realtors. These are blatant examples of the agents working in their sole best interest, to the potential detriment of their client's outcomes.
In these situations, it is the home seller who has the most to lose.
As the broker of record for Zoocasa Realty, I am disheartened, but not surprised, by this footage. Part of the issue is the Canadian real estate market's meteoric growth over the past decade, and the number of real estate professionals; there were 20,000 TREB realtors a decade ago -- now there are roughly 48,000, and competition is truly fierce.
Consider the 101,299 Toronto Real Estate Board MLS home sales in 2015; split evenly among the workforce, that's about 2.1 sales per agent. You know the saying -- desperate times call for desperate measures.
In a multiple offer situation, attempting to fairly represent both your buyer and seller fairly is incredibly challenging for the most ethical salespeople. In these situations, it is the home seller who has the most to lose. When you've contractually agreed to represent your seller clients, you must do everything in your power to represent their best interest.
In today's market that means attracting and working with as many great offers as possible. In order to effectively represent your seller's interests requires working with every potential buyer -- including those represented by other agents. Controlling the situation in order to ensure both side's commissions risks ostracizing the buyer who was actually willing to pay the most for the property.
The frequency of these incidences reflects poorly on our real estate industry as a whole.
It is quite easy -- far too easy -- to get, and keep a real estate license. The annual fees to remain licensed are low, making it easy for many agents to work on a part-time basis. They may only handle one listing for the whole year, and by representing both ends of the transaction, they are effectively doubling their annual income. Add to this that they dabble infrequently in the market, making them less concerned about the long-term implications for their reputation.
The frequency of these incidences reflects poorly on our real estate industry as a whole. This practice is indicative of agents treating each other unethically, and is harmful to our entire profession. Agents who choose to cut others out for the sake of greater commission aren't just cheating their seller, but essentially training the market to bypass buyer representation. I see this as a short-sighted race to the bottom, and a practice that harms us all as real estate professionals.
What I do hope comes from recent media scrutiny is increased consequences for those engaging in the practice. It appears that the Real Estate Council of Ontario is listening; in a recent webinar for brokers, they admonished member agents of the importance of ethics in the business, and outlined the potential consequences. What would be most effective, I believe, is an improved complaint process for those who wish to report unethical behaviour on behalf of a real estate agent. If the powers that be choose to hammer down on the practice, we will all truly be better off.

Also on HuffPost:
Your real estate agent is most likely going to tell you that the property will go quick, even if this isn't necessarily true. Don't let them pressure you -- take the time to think through this major decision.
Although they may know that the seller is asking more than they should for the home, it's possible that your agent won't mention this. A bigger price tag equals a bigger commission.
Your realtor may have already heard through the grapevine that previous inspections have uncovered some major issues with the home you're interested in. Unfortunately, they may keep this to themselves, and hope that they aren't uncovered again.
It may not be enough of a reason to deter you from buying a home, but the real estate agent may not clue you in that the sellers have given previous interested buyers a tough time.
Your agent is supposed to stay non partial about characteristics like whether the home you are looking at is in a "good" neighborhood. But sometimes we wish they would just say it! CORRECTION: Federal law states that it is illegal for agents to steer you away from certain neighborhoods.
When you walk through a potential home with your real estate agent, they're often fond of telling you about all of the amazing things you can do to "easily" improve the space. Often they have no idea if these projects are actually doable.
They may not want to advertise this notion, but real estate agents can surely choose to take a lower percentage in order to sweeten a deal.
Although the buyer's agent should have the potential owners' interests in mind, sometimes they are distracted by the possibility of earning a commission, and overlook important details that could be helpful to the buyers.
It may be a great place to live, but if the people who live next door are nutty, they can make your life really difficult. It would be nice if your agent warned you about these crazies!

Speade add some Spanish zest to their editing roster courtesy of Carlos Font Clos.
Caroline Pay is joining forces with VIcki Maguire at Grey London which is currently enjoying a hundred days of Valenstein & Fatt.
DAVID REVIEWS has gone back to its roots by introducing a new feature for its subscribers... virtual DVDs.
Homespun Yarns' call for entries was announced at March's CraftWorks show and a few days later, we recorded a special podcast with Tim Hardy, Dan Collins and Thomas Ralph.
These commercials for Old Spice spoof Old West tropes with the brand's characteristic sense of humour. Their deodorant is so effective it's left the, uh, pit farmers' land too dry to grow their 'pertaters' - a line delivered in a perfectly rubbish accent. In the second clip, an old man shakes his fists skyward at the Old Spice gods as his son is smushed to death beneath a giant deodorant stick.

What a nice dress!It's even better than in pictures!Silky fabric,lovely print,bright colours and it fits perfectly true to size;even the neckline stays close to the chest without opening too much.If you buy it,you will love it!
Bought this dress in the sale, didn't really know what to expect, but I liked the print. I am very pleased with it! It fits really well, looks good & is stretchy, so very comfortable. A very good buy, at a great price!
