Great low key bachelor party trip
Place is great and is as advertised. Minor problems with the main refrigerator that does not get nearly cold enough, meager sound system for quality of property that was easily bested by our own Bluetooth speakers, and WiFi that was very spotty. Staff was solid, attentive, and helpful. Beautiful home.

Wonderful! Worth every penny!
We loved staying at Casa Theodore! There were 16 of us for a Bachelorette Party, and there was more than enough room (we used 9 of the 11 bedrooms). The onsite staff was incredible and very helpful. We needed more groceries toward the end of our stay, so the concierge arranged to have all the items on our list picked up and delivered to the house. We also worked with Michael's team prior to our trip to arrange dinner reservations, a boat rental, and all of our transportation. Everything was wonderful. I'd definitely stay at Casa Theodore again!

Perfect Pedregal
We have just returned from a two week stay in Casa Theodore and we couldn’t be happier! The property is everything that it says it will be on the site. Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, luxurious and spacious. The pool and living area are magnificent! Amazing views of the Pacific Ocean with sunsets and whale watching that will be seared into our memories for a lifetime. We can’t say enough about the concierge, security and cleaning staff! They were attentive, efficient and went out of their way to accommodate our every need. We came with a group of 22 and it always felt that there was plenty of room for fun, play and privacy when needed. We can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing location for a corporate retreat
We wanted to reward our employees with a retreat in paradise to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication thru the last 14 months. This was absolutely the best place that we could have picked. The look in their eyes when they entered the home and saw the view of the crashing waves of the Pacific was fantastic. We all had plenty of room to spread out - and yet many common areas where we could convene and bond as a company. The location was perfect - allowing us to walk to either the Pedregal beach or the center of Cabo. Working with Michael and his staff prior to our trip was seamless - they were very communicative and did not tire of my many questions and inquiries. And the onsite staff were just as wonderful. The home was kept spotless, Roldolfo was always available to help us set up a taxi or answer our questions and we felt very safe knowing that there was a security guard available during the night. We would definitely look to book this home again in the future. Thank you to the Casa Theodore team!

Overall Very Good
The house is best suited for 1-2 families (with kids in the smaller rooms) as there are really only 2 master bedrooms. The rest of the rooms are much smaller and some with NO VIEW (not disclosed). The house is in need of some TLC, things are a bit worn, pool deck should be redone. Getting activities booked for excursions, reservations, was tedious with many mistakes made, and miscommunications with Rachel and Michael. It all worked out after about 100 emails, but too much effort for not a lot of requests. The house is in a very safe neighborhood, close to many restaurants, beaches, shopping, hiking, marina, everything. The staff is the best part, Rodolfo and team are 10 stars, really top notch. All in all a great property, just not for couples, better for families.

A perfect week in Cabo San Lucas
Casa Theodore is the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in, period. Michael (the owner) and Rodolpho (the concierge) worked closely with us before and during our stay to make sure we had the best experience possible. They helped us plan activities -- golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing -- that were both excellent and enjoyable for our entire group and also arranged for transportation for each of the activities as well as to and from the airport. They found a chef who made wonderful breakfasts and dinner each day. They managed a staff that cleaned our rooms, made sure we had clean towels for the pool, coffee in the morning, snacks in the afternoon, etc. The staff observed all Covid protocols, keeping us safe the entire stay, and arranged for our pre-flight Covid tests before our flight back to the USA. Finally, Michael, Rodolpho and staff are able to provide this service in an intimate setting and have perfected the art of being available whenever you need them while at the same time giving our group the space and privacy expected from a five star hotel. We give Casa Theodore the highest recommendation.

Great home but unreasonable owner
We enjoy a family villa vacation yearly with ages from 6 to 70. The home is great, but marketing it as “full staff” is very misleading. Two wonderful ladies did maid services.We were greeted by a fellow on arrival who offered to help book any activities. The man who cared for the pool was great. Friends had used a local chef before and we booked her to come for some meals. They offer to provide a chef of theirs, but the process required selecting specific foods for each person and meal. Overwhelming due to our varied tastes and ages. The chef we hired has been in the area for over 10 years, has incredible references which she provided to Michael and Rachel. Their contract says no outside vendors allowed w/o prior approval. We asked for “approval” to let her in to chef, explaining why we wanted her etc. They refused our request. The excuse was they were concerned that she might damage the kitchen. She provided assurances and references as she has been in countless villas there. We assured that we would guarantee and be responsible for her. They admitted that they don’t allow anyone except the chef they want. The reference to “prior approval” is disingenuous. We had to meet her at the gate and pick up our now takeout meals. A warped ping pong table available at an additional charge, as is anything else. Nothing, ie salt/pepper was in the kitchen, which was a first for us. Great vaca except for the unreasonable approval and 0 basics in kitchen.

Review
The property is 100% accurate as advertised. The location is amazing, the view is stunning, and the amenities are incredible. The on-site staff was super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I did have a few issues that are worth knowing about prior to booking here. There are many rules in Pedregal itself that you likely want to research prior to staying there (i.e. no noise past 9:30 PM). My main issues were with Michael and Rachel prior to booking. I felt as though there were many hidden fees and the $5,000 damage deposit was their opportunity to capitalize on those and many other hidden fees. Michael and Rachel tried to add on an additional security guard and force us to buy the extra 2 bedrooms to have an “all-male” guest list even though it was not a bachelor party. We invited 2 female guests and were able to get out of this after some serious and frankly unnecessary back-and-forth. I felt nickeled and dimed throughout the entire process before we got there and during the initial walkthrough of the property as the on-site staff kept. The extra services they offered (i.e. transportation to the airport, stocking groceries, getting ice, propane for grill, etc.) were all massively overpriced. There are several stores minutes away where you can get all of these things and Uber/taxis are relatively inexpensive here. The property was great, but the experience with Michael and Rachel would make me second guess ever staying there again.

An incredible full-service venue for a special event
My husband and I hosted a truly spectacular 60th birthday weekend for him with 18 guests at Casa Theodore, mostly couples. The house itself looks as pictured, in some instances better, and is well-designed for large groups. The pool/jacuzzi and sunbathing deck are gorgeous and the whale watching in February was INSANE. Our master suite was perfect; it is right off the pool, which makes sense, but can also be loud if you are trying to rest while your guests are carousing. Most of the bedrooms are large with en suite bathrooms and gorgeous ocean views; however, there are a couple of bedrooms that were not usable for our guests--one that is on the non-guest side of the house where the staff works (ideal for a nanny or in our case our event planner) and one that is very dark with only one high skinny window. There is also a tiny bedroom on the second level down that can only accommodate a twin bed but has a lovely ocean view. As other reviews mention, the two nicest guest suites are two floors down from the main space and incur a separate per night charge in addition to the VRBO price if you want to use them (which we did). They have a kitchen and living room between them--almost like a separate apartment from the rest of the house. Casa Theodore is a full-service venue as much as it is a house, which I did not fully appreciate until we got into the planning details. It has its own suite of vendors, which guests are required to use, including catering staff (which cook in an industrial kitchen on property separate from the space guests use), spa services, concierge, housecleaning, etc. All of the services were more than adequate and the food, in particular, was excellent. We had delicious breakfast prepared for our group each morning, lunch and/or snacks, and dinner on 2 nights. Everything is locally sourced and fresh and the house-made salsas and avocado crema are sublime. We also truly loved having our bartender throughout the afternoon and evenings. The owner, Michael, was also on hand much of the time to supervise meal service and translate when necessary. The entire experience ended up being quite pricey, but a lot of that is attributed to our choices to utilize everything the house had to offer (catering, on-site spa services, servers, bartender) and to stock up on fine liquors and wines. We would happily return if we have occasion to host another large group in Cabo. Thank you, Michael and everyone at Casa Theodore!

Spectacular views, beautiful home, great service!
The villa is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. There was enough room in the living and dining areas (both inside and out) to not feel crowded, even with 21 people gathered together, and absolutely enough room so that when people wanted spread out to their bedrooms it felt like you had the place to yourself. The neighborhood is quiet (except a few hours on a Monday morning when there was some construction noise nearby) and felt very safe. The villa is located a short cab/shuttle ride to most of the places you would want to go in Cabo San Lucas (but it’s not close to San Jose del Cabo, Flora Farms, or the airport with traffic). It is a very short walk to Pedregal Playa which was nearly empty each time we went. The communication was great, Michael Theodore and Rachel Leahy both answered all of my questions. The option to pre-stock the kitchen was convenient because our visit only lasted 3 days, but some of the items were really not what was pictured, and selection is limited. For a longer visit it might make sense to go to Costco and buy items yourself, but for us time was more important. Chef Services were another great option for most of our meals. (We catered 2 dinners and 1 brunch.) Again, due to the short duration of our trip (but also considering the size of our group), not wasting time gathering everyone, taking/waiting for a shuttle, driving to a restaurant, and then repeating the process in reverse order at the end of the meal allowed much more time for us to socialize while the meals were prepared for us in the villa. (Also, we appreciated having the choice to dine while wearing pajamas on our first night in Pedregal.) The food was very good and well presented. We were originally supposed to have 23 guests travelling with us, but 2 people couldn’t make it at the last minute. However, we ended up leaving the Chef Services contract at 23 guests, and the amount of food was perfect for our final group of 21. I estimate that on average our group had a typical American appetite, so you may consider ordering a couple of extra portions so you won’t worry about running out of food. To be fair, portion size is fully disclosed on the website when ordering Chef Services. Concierge Rodolfo was extremely responsive and helpful in arranging (and last minute re-arranging) shuttles, a boat excursion, and coordinating the Chef Services. The daily cleaning crew was fantastic too.

I would book elsewhere if you want to feel safe - stolen items from staff
The listing is misleading. For the add'l bedrooms, you are required to pay a fee - don't let this catch you off guard when you need all of the bedrooms. Second, we had property stolen from the house. Michael required we get a security guard for the house. I agreed, but asked for background on the security guard b/c I didn't feel comfortable having someone come onto the property while we were away from the Villa. Michael noted that the employee was "provided by an in-house employee, not an outside company." Our 2nd night, we arrived back to the Villa & realized that several AirPods, sunglasses, and a Rolex were taken from the property. We asked the security guard who said nobody went in or out of the house. (although, he did...) The next morning I talked with Michael and he reviewed the security tape. The only person to enter the house was the security guard, and, according to Michael, he entered several times for 2-3 minutes each time. My first question is why is the security guard entering the property while we were away? If you like feeling safe about your items, I would be very concerned on this fact alone. Michael and I discussed further and he even went as far as saying “are you sure your friends didn’t take the items.” Additionally, it seemed he really didn’t want me to file a police report because “it would take up hours of my day.” Further, he threatened to kick us out and noted that he needed to know whether I was filing a police report or not (he said “I need to know by 5pm so you can find somewhere else”). Finally, if you look into the reviews, there are stories of people not getting their deposits back and “review” blackmail by the owner, Michael (saying that if the travelers give him a 5 star review he would waive all damages – how shady). One review even goes as far to mention that the house owner was holding onto personal property until certain fees were paid… I have yet to receive my deposit (we returned 9 days ago), and when I left, there was no damage to the property, which was also noted by the house manager, Rodolfo on the check-out sheet.
