Meet Liz & Brandon: Our California Friends Exploring Mexican Real Estate
Our good friends, Liz and Brandon from San Diego, have been eyeing properties in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. Since we’re based near Puerto Vallarta, we toured multiple developments including TAO Mexico’s Blue Gardens, now almost sold out. That’s when their team introduced us to Monte Rocella in Cabo!
As your boots on the ground here’s the full scoop on what makes Monte Rocella special!
Why Cabo is a Smart Pick ☀️
Cabo stands out with its dry, sunny climate a welcoming contrast to the humidity of places like Bucerias.
Average temperature: around 73 °F annually
Typical highs: between 70–90 °F, with hottest months hitting the low‑90s
Hurricane season: runs August–October, but modern builds are constructed to withstand storms
When we visited in May, coming from humid Bucerias, we found the climate refreshingly pleasant!
Moving To Mexico: Life as an Expat in Cabo San Lucas
Cabo hosts a vibrant expat community, approximately 15,000–20,000 full-time residents, mainly from the U.S. and Canada.
Safety: neighborhoods like Pedregal, El Tezal, and Villa Serena offer gated living with 24/7 security. The marina and tourist hubs are heavily patrolled, and serious crime is rare.
Lifestyle: start your day with a beachfront walk or golf, relax poolside in the afternoon, and dine oceanside in the evening.
Healthcare: modern facilities with English-speaking doctors offer quality care at 50–70% lower costs than in the U.S. many expats carry private insurance for peace of mind.
Accessibility from the U.S. & Canada
For Liz and Brandon, Cabo is ideal due to easy flight access, direct routes from many major North American cities simplify travel significantly.

ROI & Investment Potential: Why Monte Rocella in Cabo is a Wise Choice
Strong Market Momentum
Q1 2025 sales in Los Cabos hit $559 million USD, marking the second-highest quarterly performance ever—highlighting sustained demand.
Cabo’s market isn’t just hot—it’s solid, led by inventory shortages, international buyers, and joint full-time & vacation residencies.
Rental Income You Can Count On
Turnkey vacation rentals in Cabo typically deliver a 7–10% annual ROI, with 80–90% occupancy rates during peak seasons.
Local Airbnb data shows 3-bedroom units in Cabo San Lucas average $64,500 USD/year in revenue—equivalent to nearly 19% gross annual yield.
National short-term rental returns across Mexico average 6–14%, with ocean view luxury (like Monte Rocella) hitting the upper end at 10–14% annually.
Currency & Accessibility Advantages
The strong U.S. dollar vs. peso means American and Canadian buyers enjoy attractive entry pricing.
Cabo benefits from frequent direct flights—LAX, Vancouver, Calgary, Houston and more—ensuring strong rental demand.
Long-Term Appreciation Potential
Mexico real estate is appreciating around 8–9% annually, with Cabo beachfront homes often outperforming average growth.
Analysts project moderate-but-solid rent and price growth for 2025–2030, especially in branded, oceanfront developments.
Why This Matters for Monte Rocella Buyers
High income potential — lock-off units + developer financing = early rental revenue
Strong capital appreciation — oceanfront property in a supply-constrained market
Tax and currency perks — maximize value with U.S./Canadian dollars
Professional rental demand — short-term rentals flourish in Cabo’s tourism ecosystem
How Many Units Are Left at Monte Rocella?
Monte Rocella is a sizable community with 395 condos planned, including 2- and 3-bedroom units with stunning ocean views.
According to current listings:
Out of 320 marketable units, just 44 units remain available .
Both 2- and 3-bedroom layouts are still up for grabs.
Several phases have already sold out (Phases 1 & 2), with Phase 3 delivering in October 2025 and later phases scheduled through November 2026 .
Bottom line: With only 44 condos left in this popular development, demand is high — and it’s moving fast. If Monte Rocella caught your eye, now’s the time to act!
