Inside, everything is already here. The unit is sold fully furnished, so you are not staring at an empty room on your first night. The layout is open: kitchen, dining and living flow together, and the sliding glass doors at the far end pull you out onto a 6-square-meter terrace with a partial view of the Sea of Cortez. That view is not panoramic, but it is real, and it is there every morning with your coffee. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, wooden cabinetry and a breakfast peninsula that works as a casual dining spot, a workspace or a place to put the groceries while you sort them out. The refrigerator is full size. There is a stacked washer and dryer in its own closet, so laundry is not an errand you plan around. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, a glass-enclosed shower and a walk-in closet with wood drawers and built-in shelving. The second bedroom has its own closet and its own climate control, which matters if one person runs warm and the other does not. The guest bathroom has a glass walk-in shower with tile inlays. Each room has a ceiling fan. Both bathrooms are clean and finished without being fussy. Fiber optic internet is connected to the unit. If you work from home or need a reliable connection for anything, it is already there. Take the elevator one floor up and the building changes its mood. The rooftop has a shared pool, a covered dining area with a built-in barbecue station, a poolside shower and restrooms. From up there, the view opens up: the Baja coastline, the desert hills and the blue line of the Sea of Cortez. It is a small building, so the rooftop does not feel like a hotel deck. It feels like yours. The building has coded-entry access, an elevator and assigned covered parking. No staffed gate, but the entry is controlled. Outside the building, Cabo San Lucas is laid out at a short distance in every direction. Medano Beach, the calm swimmable stretch on the Sea of Cortez side, is about 8 minutes by car. The marina is about the same. Sportfishing charters leave from the marina, whale-watching boats run from December through mid-April, and the October fishing tournaments bring the fleet in every year. Downtown, with its restaurants, pharmacies and banks, is 6 minutes away. Walmart and La Comer are 10 to 13 minutes. Private hospitals serve the area and are reachable in about 10 minutes. Walk out the front door and Cerro de la Z is 18 minutes on foot, uphill. The hill rises to about 804 feet, with 360-degree views of the town, the bay and the Pacific from the top. The trail is nearby hiking that does not require a car, a reservation or a plan. A handful of restaurants are within a 4 to 13 minute walk, including a cafe, a sushi spot and a local kitchen. The airport is about 40 to 45 minutes by car on the toll road. The unit is on the third floor of a small residential building. The community is quiet and has a local feel, a few minutes from the center of one of Baja's busiest towns. It works as a primary residence, a part-time base, a vacation retreat for two or a family of four, or a property that earns when you are not using it. Seller financing is available with 50% down and terms of up to three years.
