Villas and Condos

Your first questions might be, “what is a vacation rental vs. a timeshare?” and “what is the difference between a villa and a condo?”  A vacation rental is the rental of a furnished apartment or house for tourists.  This term is mainly used by people in the United States, whereas the synonymous term “villa rental” or “villa holiday” is used by people in Europe for detached homes.

A timeshare is a real estate (i.e., typically a fully furnished condominium) that is jointly shared by multiple owners.  Timeshare owners can then decide to rent out their unit as a vacation rental for their allotted time each year.

Individual condos are grouped together in one building with shared interior walls and hallways.  Villas are detached and on their own and are typically luxurious homes.  In Los Cabos, each villa has its own unique name.
