Los Cabos is a resort town on the tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. With a fantastically warm climate, idyllic beaches, amazing golf courses and an economy which is largely geared towards tourism, it is the perfect place for a family holiday, and your budget will stretch further if you investigate the wide range of self catering rental properties in and around the town.

There is a huge amount to do to fill your family holiday in Los Cabos. Obviously you will want to head to the beaches for at least a few days of sunbathing and general relaxation. But you will also want to spend some time exploring Cabo San Lucas - a hub for watersports, fishing and golf, and also famous for its nightlife. Cabo San Lucas is the top party destination for the Baja California peninsula, and older members of the family will be spoiled for choice in terms of restaurants and bars in the evenings. You must also make sure to visit Land's End, fantastic eroded rock formations. From the popular Playa del Amante you can also get great views of the Arch of Poseidon, an eroded passageway which is one of the region's most spectacular sights. Also, the warm waters also attract all manner of sea life, so be sure to take the family on a whale watching trip if you get a chance!

There is a huge selection of villas, condos and apartment rentals in and around Los Cabos, and you can find some great deals if you shop around. With prices starting as low as £320 for a week's rental of an apartment large enough to accommodate a family of four or more, renting a self-catered holiday home can be a real money saving step compared to the cost of booking hotel rooms. And as apartments and villas come fully equipped with all modern comforts, and are often less than a stone's throw from the beaches and golf courses of the region, it won't feel like a low cost option. The extra privacy and space also means that apartment rentals are great for kids - there is plenty of space for the youngest members of the family to run around and let off steam without disturbing the neighbours!
