The Los Cabos Annual Owner Calendar
A Year of Thoughtful Residence Planning in Los Cabos.
A second home in Los Cabos continues to operate whether the owner is in residence or away. Climate, coastal exposure, mechanical systems, seasonal arrivals, household requirements and private assets all benefit from attention at the right time of year.
The Los Cabos Annual Owner Calendar brings those responsibilities into a practical month-by-month view, helping owners plan ahead instead of responding only when something becomes urgent.
How to Use This Calendar
Use the calendar as a planning framework rather than a universal maintenance checklist. Every residence has different systems, materials, warranties, HOA requirements and patterns of use.
The most effective annual plan combines three levels of attention:
1. Residence readiness: preparing the home for owner and guest arrivals.
2. Preventive care: scheduling service before heat, humidity, storms or heavy seasonal use expose a weakness.
3. Continuity while away: confirming that the residence, vendors, vehicles and household responsibilities remain appropriately monitored.
January — Reset After the Holiday Season
January is an appropriate time to close out holiday-related activity and establish the operating priorities for the year ahead.
Owner planning priorities
. Review any maintenance issues identified during Christmas and New Year's occupancy.
. Reconcile household purchases, vendor work and outstanding invoices.
. Refresh annual service calendars and recurring maintenance dates.
. Inspect guest rooms, linens, kitchen inventory and frequently used outdoor areas.
. Confirm vehicle, golf-cart and marine-service schedules after high-season use.
. Document projects that should be completed before the summer heat.
February — Maintain High-Season Readiness
February often combines active residence use with favorable weather. The goal is to keep the home operating smoothly without allowing small issues to accumulate behind a busy calendar.
Owner planning priorities
.Check air-conditioning filters and service history.
.Review pool, spa, irrigation and landscape performance.
.Inspect exterior furniture, shade structures and coastal-exposed hardware.
.Confirm household supply levels and guest-turnover requirements.
.Schedule non-disruptive repairs between planned visits.
March — Prepare Before Temperatures Rise
March is the time to move preventive work forward before cooling systems and outdoor equipment face heavier demand.
Owner planning priorities
.Arrange preventive air-conditioning inspection and servicing.
.Review roof areas, exterior sealants, doors and windows.
.Check irrigation coverage and water-use concerns.
.Service generators, battery backups and water systems where applicable.
.Review pest-control requirements and vulnerable entry points.
.Begin hurricane-readiness planning and vendor confirmation.
April — Plan the Transition Into the Warm Season
For owners preparing to leave after the winter season, April should be treated as an organized transition rather than a simple departure date.
Owner planning priorities
.Create a residence close-down plan based on the expected length of absence.
.Remove or store perishable food, sensitive supplies and outdoor items as appropriate.
.Confirm humidity, ventilation and air-conditioning settings.
.Inspect refrigerators, freezers, wine storage and water fixtures.

Hurricane preparation should be substantially organized before an active storm approaches Los Cabos.
Owner planning priorities
.Inspect roof drainage, terraces, exterior doors and windows.
.Confirm shutters, protective panels and installation arrangements where applicable.
.Test generator, fuel, battery and water-backup procedures.
.Update insurance, HOA, vendor and emergency contact information.
.Photograph important exterior and interior areas for current documentation.
.Identify items that must be secured or moved before a storm.

June — Begin Structured Summer Oversight
Heat, humidity and lower occupancy can allow mechanical, moisture or pest issues to develop unnoticed.
Owner planning priorities
.Maintain a documented inspection schedule.
.Monitor cooling performance, interior humidity and signs of condensation or mold.
.Check plumbing fixtures, water heaters and visible supply lines.
.Review refrigerators, freezers and electrical equipment remaining in operation.
.Confirm pool, landscape and exterior-care consistency.
.Keep vehicle and battery-maintenance routines active.
July — Monitor Heat, Moisture & Systems
July calls for consistent attention rather than major cosmetic work. The residence should remain stable, ventilated and protected through demanding summer conditions.
Owner planning priorities
.Review air-conditioning performance and unusual energy use.
.Inspect ceilings, walls, cabinetry and enclosed areas for moisture indicators.
.Check pest activity and weather stripping.
.Confirm pool water level, equipment operation and landscape stress.
.Inspect stored outdoor furniture and protective coverings.
.Verify remote monitoring and alarm notifications where installed.
August — Maintain Storm Readiness
August requires active awareness of weather conditions and a clear distinction between preparation, emergency response and post-storm assessment.
Owner planning priorities
.Reconfirm storm contacts and property-access procedures.
.Keep exterior areas free of unsecured items.
.Verify drainage paths and visible roof outlets.
.Confirm owner notification and authorization procedures.
.Arrange post-event visual inspection when conditions and access are safe.
.Document any water entry, wind impact, power interruption or system concern promptly.

Owner planning priorities
.Finalize arrival preparation and household stocking.
.Confirm airport, driver and vehicle arrangements.
.Coordinate guest rooms, holiday meals and selected celebrations.
.Review pet, family and accessibility requirements.

October–December: The Owner's High Season
The final quarter brings several of Los Cabos' most active weeks: major fishing tournaments, Día de Muertos, golf and culinary events, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.
Event dates, access rules and provider availability change from year to year. Owners should verify the official schedule before making travel or household arrangements and should reserve high-demand services early.
The objective is not to fill every day. It is to coordinate the residence so time in Los Cabos remains comfortable, personal and free from avoidable last-minute logistics.
A Residence-Specific Annual Plan

.Inspection and reporting frequency.
.Preventive maintenance calendar.
.Hurricane preparation and post-storm procedures.
.Arrival and departure checklists.
.Household, vendor and payment responsibilities.
.Vehicle, golf-cart and marine-service schedules.
.Project windows and owner approval dates.
.Annual review of authorizations and emergency contacts.
