About Me

Cabo San Lucas is where the desert meets an ocean playground, offering a coastline as diverse as it is beautiful. For those seeking sun and sand, Medano Beach is the vibrant heart of it all. A hub for water sports, dining, and people-watching, with gentle waves that are perfect for families. For a quieter escape, the clear, protected coves of Santa Maria Beach and Chileno Bay offer calm waters and abundant marine life, making them ideal for snorkeling.

Of course, no trip to Cabo is complete without witnessing its crown jewel: El Arco. This stunning, three-story natural stone archway marks the dramatic point where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Accessible only by watercraft, it's best experienced up close on a glass-bottom boat tour, a romantic sunset sail, or even a kayaking adventure. The arch is flanked by two beautiful beaches: the swimmable, picturesque cove of Lover's Beach, nestled between dramatic rock formations, and the visually stunning Divorce Beach, where powerful waves crash against the shore (offering breathtaking views but no swimming).

Looking to get immersed in nature? You're already in the right place. The famous explorer Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez "The Aquarium of the World" for its incredible biodiversity. Dive in to explore vibrant reefs, playful sea lion colonies, and a stunning variety of tropical fish. From December to April, humpback and gray whales migrate to these warm waters, putting on a breathtaking show for visitors on dedicated tours. For those who prefer to stay above the surface, Cabo is also known as the "Striped Marlin Capital of the World," hosting some of the richest sport fishing tournaments on the planet.

For a delightful change of pace from the oceanfront energy of Cabo San Lucas, a day trip to the charming colonial town of San José del Cabo offers a captivating glimpse into the soul of Baja California Sur with art walks, and boutique shopping. As the historic heart of the Los Cabos region, San José del Cabo is a place where tree-lined streets, a picturesque town square, and a slower, more refined pace invite you to immerse yourself in true Mexican culture. 

From the dramatic meeting of two seas to its luxurious resorts and vibrant culture, Cabo offers a seamless blend of relaxation and adventure that's hard to match.

Bucket list to Key West
Reviewed By Stewart - Charlotte NC | Traveled to Key West | Florida | USA
Melissa is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the entire state of Florida, especially the Florida Keys and Key West. Before our first planning meeting, she provided us a questionnaire to complete. That was great to help discover our travel style and types of places we most wanted to include on our trip. She quickly knew wonderful places, attractions, accommodations, restaurants, etc. that were perfect for the more laidback and authentic travel we prefer. Since we were traveling by car, she found great accommodations, authentic local dining, while also exploring some attractions, history and nature, along our route down to Key West. These included overnights in Cocoa Beach, Florida City and Islamorada. She gave us wonderful spots not too far out of our way to view Florida wildlife, I've never seen more beautiful birds and other wildlife in my life! Her dining recommendations for the five days we were in Key West were amazing, spot-on what we were looking for. In Key West, she set us up to tour historical and cultural sites, daysails, a bike tour, and a kayaking and snorkel trip in the beautiful clear blue waters around Key West, All wonderful! Plus a bucket list Schooner sunset sail, complete with great drinks, delicious appetizers, and live music. Melissa identified the best, most longstanding watering holes, knew the best local live music, and when/where they were playing. In the questionnaire she discovered that we were big Jimmy Buffett fans, so gave us history and the rundown on places to visit important to Jimmy's years there. Plus suggested the dates of our trip coincide with a concert featuring Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, it was absolutely the highlight or our trip! The band was awesome and represents him well. Without Melissa it would have been impossible for us to pack so much fun, relaxation, and meaningful bucket list adventures into into a week-long trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Nice Northern Escape
Reviewed By ScubaLady1986 - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Norway | Europe
Melissa and Rebecca helped me plan and organize mine and my husband's trip to Norway and Iceland. Both were incredible countries. In Iceland, my biggest worry was being part of a massive tourist crowd, but Rebecca and Melissa found some spots off the beaten bath. We were the only tourists in 3 of the spots we visited. In Norway, they really helped us see the benefit of renting a car, even though we had to pay a one way fee, because we were able to have much more choice in stops to make and in places to stay. We didn't stay at any major hotels - most were family owned and that was a nice touch. My only regret is not eating more seafood in Norway! It was so good! And next time I would like to scuba dive in the continental divide in Iceland.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fun Family Roadtrip
Reviewed By Hankasaurus123 - Hillsboro, OR | Traveled to Redwood National Park | California | USA
Rebecca really helped us out with a smallish budget and 6 travelers, including two small kids. We drove down the Oregon Coast, starting and ending in Hillsboro. We really appreciated her finding a stationary RV to rent in the Redwoods that fit the whole family, provided a place to cook meals, as well as activities to do after sightseeing in the redwoods. We also went to Tillamook and took the Garbaldi Train, went to the Newport Aquarium, kayaked in a stream next to sand dunes, saw tidepools and on the way back went through the Wildlife Safari in Winston. She truly hit the mark on all the accommodation and the pacing with small kids and grandparents.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
