I cannot say enough good things about the villa and the staff. The villa has an absolutely stunning view, and I cannot imagine a more kind or accommodating staff. We arrived to fresh margaritas and guacamole, and a continuous series of delicious, chef-prepared meals. The staff was present and accessible, but not intrusive. They worked hard for the entire trip, and were always there when we needed them. Vacations are supposed to be about total relaxation, and the whole experience at Villa Azul made that a snap. As an aside, we, as a group (16 people) seriously discussed trying to rent the villa for a second (unplanned) week, instead of going home. I'll definitely be back, and you, reader, should definitely go.

I have nothing but good things to say about Daniel, the villa itself and the staff. Prior to our arrival Daniel consistently responded to my numerous inquiries. Upon our arrival the entire staff were simply incredible. Guero was the houseman and made sure all ran smoothly, Rodrigo is a PHENOMENAL cook and Isabel kept the house tidy throughout our stay. The pictures themselves don't do the place justice - it is even nicer than it appears in the photos. The villa is located in what appears to be a affluent neighborhood, is less than 10 minutes from the heart of town (by cab which the team arranges and costs less than $5/each way) and affords some of the most beautiful views I've ever experienced. IF you are thinking about booking Villa Azul don't hesitate ... just do it.

Our large group enjoyed the villa and the lovely staff. Prior to our arrival Daniel consistently responded to my numerous inquiries. Upon our arrival the entire staff were very welcoming. Guero was the houseman and made sure all ran smoothly, Veronica is a wonderful cook. We were greeted by homemade guacamole and delicious fresh margaritas. The pictures themselves don't do the place justice - it is even more jaw dropping than it appears in the photos. The villa is in a beautiful area and a quick taxi ride into town. views I've ever experienced. Villa Azul had plenty of space for the 16 of us. A perfect group weekend spot! We really liked the breakfast and lunch option so we could go to the beaches and the great restaurants in the afternoon and evening.

Awesome views, great staff.

The Villa is beautiful and has excellent views over the ocean. Plenty of space to spread out with multiple levels and multiple pools!

Excelente la casa, la vista al mar esta de 10, los atardeceres increíbles y la atención de la chef de lujo. Súper recomendada

Words cannot describe the villa. From friendly staff to amazing views we thoroughly enjoyed all three pools and the endless hours of sunshine. We wouldn't change a thing

Our stay at Villa Azul was perfect. Amazing views, comfortable beds, great meals and staff. Every room has a view with plenty of space and AC. We were always asked what we would like to eat for the next day and it was always a great meal. Make sure to have pesos on hand to pay for the food daily. I want to go back...

Casa Alegre was perfect, so much space and the view is always amazing. Everything we needed for daily life was provided. We enjoyed the top deck often and it was a quick walk to the pueblo for our daily needs. The fresh limes on the tree outside were the best and being able to wander through the grounds was a great way to just relax and take it all in. Playa Isabel is a great nearby beach to get away from the main beach and is quiet with mostly families. Vico was also very helpful and friendly, bringing us water when needed and asking if we needed anything, when we met him on the path one day he pointed out the huge iguanas sunning themselves in the trees..we would have missed this by ourselves. We met so many warm and friendly people, always helping us with our poor Spanish. We stayed for 12 days and wanted more, we really did not want to leave! Thank you Ian for sharing your wonderful home and community, we hope to come back one day!

We loved our stay. Clean and beautiful. Great view, comfortable bed. Be ready to walk up lots of stairs every day. We also added days as our stay progressed, Ian was very accommodating.

If you are considering going to Yelapa, do it. Ian's place was spectacular, the pictures are completely accurate yet they lack the smells and sounds that accompany this beauty. Prepare to get some exercise! The streets are narrow and uneven, with many, many steps and steep inclines. We had a couple dogs visit us who were obviously pets, not strays, and their unexpected company only added delight to our stay. If you visit, leave it as you found it! This place is paradise: the people are wonderful, the atmosphere is welcoming, this place is a precious gem. I should mention Ian is a great host, super quick responses, and his property manager Vico is there to help with any thing you may need- he made us feel comfortable in an unknown land, we were very appreciative of his help!

Casa Allegra was perfect. The location feels extremely private. You're on the top of a hill, so the view is fantastic. It's on the "city" side so it's way more chill than the busy, main beach. Yelapa itself is as charming as they come, and so picturesque. Because it's so relaxed, having a place like this was the best because it's worth spending time at the house, watching for iguanas and listening to the jungle birds, etc. Such a great escape from Puerto Vallarta, and I really want to come back to both Yelapa and Casa Allegra!

Words can not describe the beauty of Ian's place. Absolutely gorgeous, everything about it. The property the house is on is a little jungle in itself with tons of wildlife running around all the time. Cooked some carnitas for the property manager Vico who was a gem as well. Lots of stories and useful information! Definitely coming back, in fact I think ima reserve my next trip tonight!!

We had a great time at Casa Alegre. Ian was very quick to answer any questions we had leading up to our stay. The property has a great view and is very private. Close to Yelapa and the beach.

The stay at Casa Alegre is one of a kind. Ian had fantastic communication. Aside from easy booking, he informed us of the pueblo wide party, Dia de las Marinas, offering additional nights that had been blocked. It was a special experience and we felt lucky to be present this time of year. Casa alegre is definitely a climb from the ocean floor but we enjoyed the movement and exercise. Being semi young and semi used to hiking, it was just hard enough to be epically rewarding. Just hard enough to get you winded but not be too tough. We only had a backpack so more luggage than that and it could be overwhelming. It's awesome being in what felt like the canopy of the jungle, very secluded, peaceful, sooo beautiful, but still only a short 5 min walk to the pueblo for groceries at the store or one of a few restaurants. Playa Isabel is also only 5 min walk down the hill. We made margaritas in the blender with fresh fruits, made our own ice with the provided water, cooked our own breakfasts with items from the grocer, made fresh coffee, smoked cigars, snorkeled with the provided masks and apparatus, filled the provided cooler with cold beers to take to the beach. It was simply awesome. Ian's place is super. We had friends staying down on the water in Yelapa, and albeit their air bnb was gorgeous and equally unique, the sound of the ocean was simply loud; not annoyingly loud, just decibly loud. Vico showed us to our spot. Our water taxi was late so I had to ask a random elder if he knew Vico, and he walked me to his house. Vico told us all we needed to know and showed us his phone # and the land line phone if we needed anything. Wifi was strong and worked well enough to stream a movie. The patio umbrella blew over one day and shattered a glass brick in the floor. We felt awful and afraid but Ian was nothing but accommodating and calming. Couldn't recommend this place enough if you are ready to adventure off the beaten tourist path a bit. Most epic places require the extra mile. Do it!

My girlfriend and I were nearly in tears when we saw the view. The beauty of this open air studio can not be overstated. Do yourself a favor and stay here. It is somewhat secluded but it is a small walk to a tiny grocery and tortillaria. Also a small walk to a tiny beach. We came in mid March so we cannot speak about the high-tourist season, and we experienced a relaxed and quiet atmosphere everywhere. Regardless, we would have been happy to stay quietly tucked away in this gorgeous place all day. Ian was a quickly responding host via email. And his friend Vico was kind and graciously met us at the ferry and gave us a sweet and thorough introduction to the area.

Had a very enjoyable 3 night stay here. Listing is exactly as pictured in a quiet secluded area up in the hills. Felipe was always available on-site to assist us with anything. Whenever we needed to go to the beach we just called a taxi from the phone in the lobby. One always arrived in 5 minutes and the charge was fairly standard 60-70 pesos. We used the pool once and it was clean. The view and tranquility are priceless.

The place is truly amazing! It has awesome view and nice pool to cool yourself off of the hot and humid weather. Luckily, there is ac as well. Ceiling fans also help with circulation of the apartment. Overall, it is clean, nice and affordable.

We stayed at the condo for two nights before we met up with the rest of our family at a larger villa for our wedding. The condo was absolutely amazing and, as others have written, the views are even better than they look in the pictures. The Pros Upon arrival, Felipe and his son were waiting for me and my fiancé in the lobby. They helped us carry our luggage downstairs to the condo and explained how to access the wifi, call a taxi, and Felipe even gave us his personal number to reach him in case we had any problems. We were instantly awed by the views from the condo when we arrived and there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us! The condo was clean and was just enough space for the two of us. Did I mention the gorgeous views? :) We opted to go into town every day and we decided to take a cab both ways because the hill is steep and it was very hot while we were in town. It was easy to call a cab from the lobby, even with our limited Spanish. The cabs rides cost on average 80 pesos each way so it was worth it for us. We felt very safe the entire time we were there. Conchas Chinas is a charming and beautiful neighborhood. Hector was also easy to work with and super responsive to questions. The Cons The hot water supply is VERY limited at the condo. I wish we knew that ahead of time because I accidentally left no hot water for my fiancé's shower on our first evening. Definitely wasn't a huge inconvenience though. Also, there are no food options located directly next to or near the condo and there is no food stocked in the condo (not that I would expect there to be). We arrived in the evening and were absolutely STARVING when we showed up. We showered and got ready and were eating at a nearby restaurant (highly recommend Pancho's Takos!!) about an hour later. Again, this wasn't a big deal but in retrospect we would have picked up some snacks along the way had we known. All in all, we were so relaxed the entire time we were at the condo (even right before our wedding) and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a beautiful, quiet location.

Had a great stay in Puerto Vallarta! Hector's place was perfect for our quick getaway. The view could not have been better!

Hector was an excellent host and place was super clean

Hector and Felipes are awesome! You wont regret if you stay with them. The view is absolutely amazing. I will def be back!

Great stay at Hector's place! Amazing views and amazing accommodations. Overall the neighborhood is beautiful, secluded and removed from the hustle and bustle of the downtown areas. We really enjoyed our stay and relaxing by the beautiful pool while looking out over the ocean. The room included a very useful kitchen and refrigerator and also had A/C and ceiling fans that worked well. Hector was very responsive via the Air B&B app messaging and the on site staff member Felipe was very helpful as well. Thanks for letting us stay here and sharing your place, we would definitely like to visit again, cheers!

Club Vista Grande most definitely lives up to its name. The view is breath taking, and I miss it already. We left trying to figure out when we could return to our new favorite getaway. Hector was very informative in his messages prior to arrive, and Philipe is friendly and greatly helpful during the stay. The walk up and down the hill is long and fairly steep . Definitely gets you sweating in an already humid climate. Taxis are bountiful though, and if you do end making the walk in evening there are fireflies! I enjoyed waking up to this view, and watching the sun set from the balcony. In addition to enjoying the ocean, you are surrounding by tropical forest. This is such a peaceful and magical place, that is still a quick ride to all the action!

Excelente atención, el servicio de chef y la ubicación te hace no querer salir de la comodidad del penthouse, el acceso a la playa genial!!

This is an incredible place to stay. The view is amazing. The entire staff was friendly and helpful.

DO NOT pass up on the opportunity to stay in the penthouse! It exceeded our expectations. We were a group of gay men and the location was perfect. The condo is positioned directly in front of several beach clubs that cater to gays, which is where we spent most of our day. The gay nightlife was about a 15 minute walk/5 minute ($2.50 cab ride). The photos are completely accurate. The chef service was FAR BEYOND our expectations. They made whatever we asked and everything tasted amazing. The maid made sure the place was spotless each and every day...and we definitely weren't the tidiest of guests. There are 4 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom which was perfect for a group traveling together. The 5th bathroom was right off the main living space which was super convenient. The bedrooms were comfortably air-conditioned. Being right on the ocean, the waves were loud. It made sleeping with the windows open in the bedroom at night a bit difficult. But once we closed the windows and turned on the air, it was fine. The infinity pool was huge. If traveling with a group, the one thing I would recommend is starting an envelope of money as a "food deposit" fund. The chef had to be paid each day based on what they purchased at the grocery to make our meals. It got a bit confusing as there was money going back and forth between individuals. Working from a "food deposit" envelope would help track what was spent and ensure that everyone was paying equally. Each room had it's own key to the penthouse and bedroom, so we could each come and go freely as we pleased without having to worry about "who had a key". We each had our own! We would DEFINITELY stay here again and strongly encourage anyone who is considering, to do the same.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the location, the view, the pool, the chef, the service of the staff, zero complaints! Will stay again.

We had a great stay at Vallarta Shores in the Penthouse suite. The Penthouse had all the accommodations you could ask for! If you are able to request, I would recommend requesting Chef Angel for your personal chef. He made us delicious food and was able to work with us to schedule our meals with what best fit our needs for the day. The penthouse overlooks the beach and has an amazing view from the private pool. The location from the airport is about a 25/30 min taxi ride- Vallarta Shores can make reservations in your name to have you picked up from the airport. This was definitely worth it after a long day of traveling. The staff at Vallarta Shores was so gracious and helpful. I'd love to stay again!

It is my pleasure to write the first review of the new penthouse space at Vallarta Shores. Our overall experience can be neatly wrapped up in one word: PERFECT. Everything was as described plus there were many great surprises. The included chef service made our trip very memorable. Angel shopped at local markets and prepared incredible meals for us. We had guests with discerning palates and they could not have been more impressed. The living room and pool area are simply stunning. Words cannot describe it. Multiple times we overheard people on the beach talking about the penthouse and we had the pleasure of inviting them up for a sunset cocktail. The location cannot be beat. It is right near a great pool club (Mantamar) and easy walking distance to town, yet separated from any big box hotels. You will not feel inundated by cruise ship guests and all-inclusive resort crowds in this area. The bedrooms were very comfortable, including plenty of AC, hot water, and soft sheets. The daily made service did an impeccable job keeping the place spotless each day. We met so many cool people in PV, local folks and vacationers like us, who were all amazingly nice. This includes Daniel, the property manager, who could not have been more accommodating throughout our stay. The surrounding area is extremely LGBT friendly, which was perfect for our group. If you want to be near the gay beach, shops, and clubs, you really cannot beat this spot. With that being said, we met many straight couples and families staying at Vallarta Shores and in the surrounding area who were having a great vacation as well. Finally, the value for the price of this AirBnB can simply not be beat. It was our favorite experience to date after many AirBnB bookings and we look forward to returning soon.

Penthouse con una vista espectacular. El servicio de chef incluido es de primera y muy conveniente.

From beginning to end, this penthouse was 5 stars!! Everything was clean, stocked and exactly as deceived. The pictures don't even do the view justice, it was amazing. The chef was absolutely incredible, and accommodated all of our meals around our plans. We cannot wait to go back again, if you have the chance to stay here, do not pass it up!! Great location, amazing customer service, and a beautiful home.

David's house and staff are quite simply wonderful. The house has breathtaking views, amazing accommodations, and levels upon levels of relaxation spots. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Jorge and staff are extremely helpful. They made our vacation perfect!

I definitely want to come back to Casa Jade again! We stayed for my bachelorette party and had the best time. The house has 5 bedrooms and very comfortably slept 11 of us. The property almost operates like a B&B--The staff came every morning to clean and the chef stayed all day to prepare meals. The staff then left at night. The location is about 40 minutes from the clubs and nightlife downtown, but we enjoyed ourselves in the house and ate dinner about 5 minutes away at a cute restaurant one night. Since the area is secluded there's lots of wildlife at night (bird moths, frogs, crabs, etc). We were able to see dolphins from the balcony, which was amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the house! I hope to be back soon:-)

Let me just say, this home is fabulous! We brought our 5 kids, a son-in-love and our 1 year old grand baby. We all had a blast! We had answers to every question, suggestions for great restaurants and activities, excursions and even favorite spots of the locals. The home is kept immaculate by 2 of the most beautiful people! The food from the chef was phenomenal, ( I recommend using the Chef! ) and we only wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you David, We fell in love.

We rented out this house for my bachelorette weekend and all ten of us girls loved everything about our stay! David was very communicative throughout my booking process and took care of the pre-arrival preparations. Jorge the property manager, Demasio the chef, and the housekeeper gave us fantastic service from the moment of our arrival. Jorge greeted us at the door and took us on a tour of the house, which was the coolest house we've ever stayed in. Demasio took care of the grocery shopping for us (and provided receipts) and cooked some of the best Mexican (and non-Mexican) food we've ever had and made us delicious drinks too. The house was spotless and in fantastic shape. We loved the decor and all the space - We had so much space between the two balconies, two living rooms, and two pools, that we didn't even have time to spend in all of them :). We even saw whales from the balcony on our last day! We had all our questions about transportation and local recommendations answered - We recommend that you ask Jorge how much a taxi should be to and from your destination so that you don't get ripped off by the cab drivers, and it's even better if he can schedule the pickup for you. We didn't have any issues with the house whatsoever - Our only complaint is that we wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy the house more! Ann

Una casa con una vista espectacular. La gente que nos atendió fue muy amable con nosotros. Un lugar ideal para relajarse y disfrutar de la casa y de la vista .

We rented this place for a family vacation. We had 19 adults and 4 kids and yet the house still slept everyone comfortably. Everyone loved the views! Jorge and his wife were extremely accommodating and very polite. We used the chef for most of our meals and it was definitely worth it! His food was delicious and it allowed our family to enjoy themselves without worrying about making food. Overall, we had a great experience and will most definitely be back. Thank you David for allowing our family to spend time in your house and for always responding to my questions in a timely manner!

Wow our stay at David's beautiful house was incredible! I hosted a 14-person join Bachelor/Bachelorette trip for my sister and her fiance. Everyone (including me) was so amazed by the beauty of the house! There was tons of space and it felt so luxurious to have 2 pools! Jorge, the property manager, was extremely helpful with coordinating transportation (there's a taxi stand near the house- really easy to call for a car/van), food, etc. The chef was incredible- each meal was delicious! Watching the sunset over the water from the pool or one of the many balconies was pure magic. I'd highly recommend this house to anyone!

We took our family and staff to a weekend retreat here. The home is amazing, views are best in the area and staff does a good job cleaning up. Be sure you don't mind stairs, the home has many levels, but it is well worth it with great views at every level. Highly recommend.

Casa Maya es increíble! Los cuartos son grandes y muy cómodos... el edificio es muy bonito y la gente es muy amable.

Everything was great: the apartment flawless , The staff helpful and friendly, food was very good at a great price. Albert kept in touch and there wasn't any issues. Totally recommended and looking forward to coming back.

Albert is by far one of the most responsive and courteous hosts on AirBnb. The home has an incredible view that makes you truly relaxed. The rooftop pool, gym, and staff were above our expectations. Can't wait for our next stay!

Albert's place is unbelievably beautiful. It's looks even better than in person. Our jaws dropped when we opened the front door. Albert has great communication skills before, during, and after the stay. He answered all of my questions and made sure we were okay during our stay. Could not have asked for a better host or a better place. Thank you, Albert! We will be coming back.

Albert was very helpful and a wonderful host. His place is perfect! Great furniture, plenty of towels, amazing views, great food, friendly neighbors = perfect. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

My family of five stayed at Casa Maya for five short days. Albert's condo exceeded all of our expectations! The rooftop pool is out of a postcard, and we found it so convenient to have a bar and food service as well. We had little desire to leave the grounds, but when we did, Albert was able to provide food recommendations. My family is already talking about returning next year!

There is a "Massive Problem" with this property! Once you arrive - you will never ever want to leave again! My husband lead me kicking and screaming out those doors. I can only repeat what previous guests have already written. The apartment and the Sayan Beach Property as a whole is in fact better and more beautiful than any picture can show you. So don't think, don't continue looking. Just book it!

This place was epic. We wished we could've stayed longer...the whole experience was low stress and the whole building was gorgeous! We definitely want to stay here again!

The best Puerto Vallarta experience to date. My wife and I have been to PVR several times but none like this time. We had two friends come with us and it was perfect. The house of course is beautiful and the on line pictures do not do it justice. Martin and Naomi seal the deal. Martin is a fantastic chief and Naomi is his right hand women. They are so nice and are there for your every need. Again this place is perfect.

What a beautiful property! Be careful walking in for the first time... as you'll likely trip in the garden area because you'll be transfixed by the amazing view. The pictures don't do it justice. The sunsets are worth staying here alone. The bedrooms are all nice, and the A/C works very well. There is a water-feature in the hallway outside the bedrooms, if you like the sound of flowing water at night. The house was staffed for our stay. We woke up to a great breakfast and coffee every morning. I think we were allowed two meals a day, but we usually were not home for lunch, and we liked to go out downtown for dinner. The staff was very friendly. The neighborhood is gated, and the guards come around every night, leaving slips at each house that all was good. If you're worried about security we saw the guard turning away people and calling to check that they were supposed to be there. The only negative, for some, might be that the house isn't directly on the beach... But, I think out high up view of the ocean was worth the trade. You technically can walk to a beach, but it might be a little harrowing for some, as it's along the highway, and there isn't much in the way of sidewalks. All in all, highly recommended!

Estuvimos muy contentos, es una casa muy linda, con una vista hermosa. Las chicas que trabajan ahí, muy amables, lo mismo que el administrador. Como no hacía tanto calor, la alberca estaba fría, lástima por los dos chiquitos que llevábamos. En general fue una bonita experiencia y si la recomiendo.

My family and I loved this beautiful house. We loved enjoying the view and the wonderful food prepared for us. The views are spectacular and the house is beautifully designed. Thank you to Javier and Chela for taking care of us.

Our trip to Puerto Vallarta was unbelievable and every time we walked through the front door of Javier's home, we were absolutely blown away. In fact, I feel like we didn't see much of the city because we never wanted to leave. Sitting by the pool and just reading or having drinks was heaven. The upstairs living area with the pool and the breathtaking view was the perfect place to hang out and relax. The bedrooms are on the lower level and were beautifully decorated and very comfortable, especially with the option to close the door and turn on the ceiling fan and the air conditioner. The fountain out in the hall offered a nice trickling noise to fall asleep to. And last but far from least, Marie Carmen and Miguel created amazing meals for us every day and kept the home in tip top shape. They were such a treat to us every day and it made the whole trip just that much more memorable. We would certainly return to Javier's home in the future.

La verdad todo muy bien, sin ningún problema.

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Adjusting to the bugs that were in this open-air space took a little getting used to, otherwise the shared space was lovely and very picturesque

Overall, this was a great trip! The house is just as beautiful as the listing makes it seem. A few notes: -The location looks a bit far outside of town on the map, but it's only about a 10-minute inexpensive taxi ride into town. You call the front gate of the condominium complex and ask for a taxi, and one arrives in approximately 10 minutes. We used Uber a bit as well. -Chela and Alma were great hosts, and we thoroughly enjoyed Chela's cooking. She will ask you when you arrive what breakfasts and lunches you want her to cook, and then she will ask for money to go purchase from the store. Make sure to tip them at the end of the trip. -There is no sofa bed in the bedroom with two double beds as the listing indicates. Additionally, the other room with two sofa beds was not prepared when we arrived and smelled bad. If you're planning to use any of the listed sofa beds, I would recommend reaching out to Javier in advance. -Javier was slow to respond and sometimes I had to email him multiple times before the trip. This gave me a bit of anxiety but overall it ended up working out. -Taking a taxi from the airport to the property was about 400 pesos, and relatively easy. Look up tips for navigating the airport exit on sites like trip advisor. You have to pass through this area called the "shark tank" where people are trying to get you to stop to sell stuff, but once you get out of that area (you're out of it when you see the rental car places), it's easy to get a taxi from one of the standardized, authorized stands. You pay at the airport, which I loved. There are ATMs near these stands if you didn't bring cash. -There are bats that visited us a few times upstairs. Chela gave us the tip to keep the kitchen shutters closed, keep the bathroom shutters on the upper level closed, and keep the lights on upstairs at night in order to keep them away. -Our favorite places in town were Panchos Takos (super authentic mexican food) and Margaritagrill (great drinks and decent food). We frequented these places multiple times and would highly recommend. -The house came with a coffee maker, shower towels, pool towels, bed linens, hairdryers, robes, pool floats, a large assortment of books, and a nice sound system which we all enjoyed. There is also a washing machine and dryer.

Very beautiful condo with access to a scenic private beach. Exactly as described and seen in the pictures. We had a great stay.

A slice of Paradise was indeed as described. I loved everything about my stay in this rental. The condo was well maintained, clean, spacious and met all of my expectations. The bed is very comfortable which in other airbnb experiences for me this is rare. Polly was very attentive to my questions and needs. When I informed her my departing flight had been canceled and I was worried I might not make the trip she was very empathetic and understanding and she did not hesitate to say she would offer a full refund if I was unable to make it out. Polly also did not hesitate to call the condo to speak with me when I informed her via email that I couldn't access the internet. I did not have cell phone service so it was extremely helpful that she called the condo directly. With a little direction she was able to help me get connected. This was my first solo trip and I was a little nervous traveling on my own. The condo staff were all very friendly and helpful and I felt very safe the entire time. Polly also gave me words of reassurance that it was a safe place. I'm anxious to return to Puerto Vallarta and when I do I will be returning to A slice of Paradise. Thank you Polly!

Host was accommodating and the condo was clean and cozy. Most of all, the view was amazing. The highlight of our trip was relaxing on the private beach adjacent to our building.....white sandy beaches, warm water, and swimmable shore line. There is a cute little restaurant just below the condo that serves the local flair. We highly recommend for a quiet, private, relaxing getaway.

We've been living in PV for half the year in a local 'hood, so we decided to book Polly's awesome place to celebrate our anniversary and take a little stay-cation. It's a beautiful spot, especially the view from the balcony! We spent a lot of time up there just relaxing and taking in the scenery. The staff were super friendly at the front desk and in the restaurant. Everything was fantastic for our stay aside from not being able to check in until late and the lack of WiFi. If you absolutely can't disconnect, just be aware that the internet in the entire building can cut out after a storm for days. We were there 3 nights and it only worked for about an hour. While the pool and restaurant were good, you'll probably want to leave a few times to eat in town or down in Boca/Mismaloya. Don't be scared of the local bus. It picks up right out front and will get you downtown for just 8 pesos. If you drive or take a cab in, consider stopping at a bigger store to pick up supplies for your stay. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to come back next time we need a break!

It was a lovely stay in Pollys place. The view is breathtaking. I wish we have stayed a little longer. Thank you for everything!

We had a great time staying at Polly's place. The view is really beautiful and it was nice falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. It's close enough to downtown. We took the bus in almost every night for dinner and then took a taxi back afterward. I would definitely recommend staying here if you like having a relaxing time and being close to the ocean.

Polly was extremely kind, communicative and helpful about our stay in her extremely comfortable and gorgeous condo! This place was magical, and just as described. I highly recommend it. The condo was private, serene and restful. It was also very easy to catch a public bus out front and head to the city of Puerto Vallarta (15 min. away)! So in that sense, one is very well-situated. The staff at the condo are also helpful, the little market downstairs is as well. We didn't have a car, and managed to see and do a lot (took a day cruise, visited the Botanical Gardens, spent lots of time in the city, etc.)! We also used the restaurant, which is covered in palapas and so it's fresh-air! Not every condo building has that. The view was spectacular and all I can say is viva Mexico (and Polly as well as Derek)! A warm thank you to Polly and Derek for being gracious and generous hosts. (The condo is nicely decorated, and one feels at home; big, comfy bed, wifi, etc.)! Have already recommended it to friends!

We had a wonderful time at Polly's, "A Slice of Paradise". Communication with Polly was quick and easy and everything was exactly as described. Her main interest is that her guests have a wonderfully, enjoyable time. The views at Girasol Sur are incredible. The complex has beautiful flowers and wildlife, a small grocery store, clean pool, a convenient restaurant with the same fantastic view and a helpful, kind staff. Polly's place was extremely quiet and relaxing. Just the way we like to spend our time away. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Polly, for a wonderful stay.

I enjoyed my stay at Kas's (URL HIDDEN) was as pictured. The staff was extremely helpful, the local bus very convenient, the beach and view beautiful and relaxing. I recommend staying here when in Puerto Vallarta.

We arrived late, around 10pm. We were told there was 24/7 access which accurate -- though a complete ghost town which made my fiance and i a little worried. Unfortunately we arrived without much in amenities and the front desk person told us there was nowhere nearby to even grab a beer, he was pleasant and spoke English. I had low expectations coming in, but the building on a whole felt like it had seen better days. With that, It was a perfectly sunny day in the morning and didn't see anyone out, the ghost town continues... This is a large condo complex, and i saw one young boy wandering the halls with a mobile device. Before we checked out an elderly couple in the lobby. The room itself was clean, particularly the bathroom which was good, and everything was as described. The listing said you could push the beds together, which we didn't even bother since it would of required a lot of work / including re-routing a power strip that was mounted to the wall ( too tired to bother). My fiance and I ended up sleeping in separate beds as the place didn't have any sense of being "romantic", though it did have charm with the mexcan headboards. The A/C worked which was a godsend. It would not take a lot of work to touch this place up a bit but it wasn't somewhere I'd likely return - there are other places nearby that are same price that are in better upkeep. Dock 1 point for feeling outdated and 1 for ghost town/amenities. I believe the glowing nature of the rest of the reviews, just thinking we might of been a little offseason in early October. I definitely recommend some fresh paint and a deep clean of the place to give this place a bit more pop.

This place is absolutely perfect. The condo is adorable, comfortable, views from the patio are breathtaking, it has access to the nicest beach we saw in the area- stunningly beautiful and secluded. The convenience store was really great to have on site and the pool was great- and a great place to chill and read. Kats was really responsive and available. The location is also really great- close to mismaloya and boca, but also not far from Puerto Vallarta. All around awesome.

El estudio de Kas es muy, muy lindo y acogedor. Cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar una estadía cómoda, pues tiene cocina muy bien equipada y el edificio tiene lavandería. La vista a la playa desde el balcón es hermosa y se puede ver el atardecer desde ahí. La zona es súper tranquila, no hay ruido y en general en el edificio el ambiente es familiar.

Excelente ubicación, una decoración bella, el anfitrión fue completamente atento desde el inicio hasta la salida, todo fue bastante agradable y es mega recomendable

Muy bonito departamento y condominio, es agradable la estancia y todos los que atienden son muy amables. Tal vez mi única observación es la distancia, porque se encuentra a unos 8 minutos en auto del malecón; pero si buscas tranquilidad, alberca y playita limpia (no es privada) es una excelente opción ¡Además la vista es inmejorable!

Lovely cozy studio apartment on a sweet beach. Twelfth floor location meant beautiful views from private balcony. Good directions from host as well as friendly front desk and restaurant staff. Convenience store on location came in handy, as did buses to downtown Puerto Vallarta which stopped in front of condo every 30 minutes or so. Thank you Kas!

Playa gemelas es sin duda una de las mejores en Bahía de Banderas, el condominio dónde se ubica la propiedad es muy lindo y seguro. La vista de la habitación es increíble y en general todo el proceso fue sencillo y sin complicaciones!

Tatiana and Jeff were great hosts. We had an amazing time staying here and will definitely be back to visit again! The room was great (and received an upgrade upon arrival) and we loved the location as well. The kitchen and pool were nice features to use during our stay there. Yelapa is a very unique place and we were very pleased with our stay there!

Vereda was one of those places you'll always think about and want to go back to. It was secluded enough to feel very private and peaceful, but still within easy walking distance from the beach and town. Great rooms, great pool, nice little communal area and kitchen to cook and hang out. Jeff was a great host. Very informative, easy-going, and nice guy.

A true paradise and an exotic experience. We had such a relaxing and magical time staying here in Yelapa. Jeff was so nice and we had many enjoyable conversations. He was an incredible host and went above and beyond. The room was so cool. Rustic, but beautiful and cozy. The outdoor shower... Amazing! And we loved the walk to and from the beach. It was all part of the experience. Already planning my next visit!

Vereda is a garden in the paradise that is Yelapa. Yelapa is a truly magical place, relatively untouched from the massive tourism industry and Vereda is a marvellous place to stay, surrounded by nature, beautiful accommodations with a great host. Jeff was an amazing host, from picking me up at the pier to making sure all was ok with my accommodation and showing me around. All 5stars. Highly recommended

Muy Bonito. Very very beautiful. We could not have asked for a better place to end our stay in Mexico. Guests will not be disappointed with the level of service and the simple beauty of these accommodations. We hope to return someday.

We had a great time! This is the perfect place for solitude and a relaxing get away. I would definitely come back again! Thanks Tatiana/Jeff!

Petit coin de paradis au milieu de la végétation. Chambre très propre, spacieuse, décorée avec beaucoup de goût et possédant une magnifique vue sur la jungle. Jeff est un super hôte, accueillant et sociable. Un plaisir de parler avec lui en français, en espagnol ou en anglais de la vie mexicain ou autres. Il est préférable d'avoir un sac à dos plutôt qu'une valise, le chemin pour accéder à la casa est composée de sable et de pavés.

Another wonderful stay at Vereda! Jeff was always amenable and helpful - we can't wait to come back!

I love Olga, her house and the village! Everything was excellent! About Olga: she is great, friendly, funny, helpfull. She is the best host. She always helped us to get to somewhere (on her car), answered on a lot of our questions. About apartments: it is like a home, we had everything necessary on the badroom, kitchen, living room. It is great view from terrace. It is really easy to get to the center. Only 12 minutes to the bus stop (by the beautifull road between jungle) and 10 minutes by bus (8 peso). And it is close to the beach, only 13 minutes. The beach Punta Negra is beautifull, not a lot of people, small sands, nice view. About village: El Nogalito is the paradise. It is eco-park in the jungle. Here is friendly people. It is silent place for relax. In the village is 2 shops and the restaurant in the jungle. It was the best choose! I really recomend to stay in Olga's house in Nogalito.

Nuestros anfitriones fueron las personas mas amables, amigables y divertidas, así como atentos a nuestras necesidades; nos encanto la privacidad del lugar y el contacto con la naturaleza, esta increíblemente cerca de la playa y tan fácil trasladarse al malecón en transporte público. La colonia es un lugar muy seguro, incluso para caminatas por el río que esta a tan solo unos pasos de la casa. Nuestros anfitriones siempre nos facilitaron el transporte al centro de Vallarta y nos asesoraron de los mejores lugares para visitar.

My partner & I stayed here for 8 days. The first of many positive experiences came when Olga picked us up in her car, then staying at her small very clean & homely apartment with an excellent outdoor patio area in amongst the trees, was perfect for dining and evening drinks. The village of El Nogalito is picture perfect, nestled in the mountains, rich in colour and very clean, the locals made us very welcome in the 2 small stores, and they appreciated our effort to speak Spanish, there is an excellent bus service from the main road (10 min walk) into Our to Vallarta for a small cost of 8 pesos. The beach that is across from the main road is one of the best for white sand & cleanliness that I have ever seen. Olga & Lio made us very welcome, and offered a list of services to include laundry & transport at a very reasonable cost. We would be delighted to recommend this apartment, and hope to return next year for an extended stay, as 8 days was just not enough.

Wow what a wonderful experience we had. Olga and Leo and their sons are genuinely some of the nicest people we have ever met. Their home is in a beautiful location surrounded by jungle and beautiful scenery. The apartment was perfect and very private but what was great was Olga was always there to help with anything we needed. The location is great and very accessible to old town and surrounding areas of puerto vallarta. The buses are very cheap and you can find one that takes you to downtown in 10 minutes then there are more buses downtown if you want to go on an adventure anywhere. Olga and Leo also offer a lift service themselves which Ben and I used, it was a lot cheaper than a taxi and obviously nicer because you get to enjoy their company. We can't thank them enough for completely making us feel at home and looking out for us when Ben got sick :). Beautiful people with beautiful souls if we return to Puerto Vallarta we hope to stay with them again. Thanks again guys lots of love we feel blessed to be the first English people to stay ;) xxx

Ogla was a wonderful host. She picked us up in Puerto Vallarta and returned us when we left. The little town of El Nogalito was a quiet little Mexican village, and really quite pleasant. The is not the big city bustle of Puerta Vallarta.

Olga’s apartment had everything we were looking for—a quiet, natural setting close to a good beach and yet also close enough to easily go into the city for shopping and going out. The neighborhood felt very safe, and over the week we got to know a few of the neighbors, including the woman who runs one of the 2 shops where you can buy basic things. The apartment itself had everything as listed, and was a very comfortable place for us to rest from the road. We especially enjoyed the balcony overlooking the rushing creek— we ate meals, read and relaxed quite a bit there. Also, Olga and her family were fabulous hosts. In addition to picking us up at the airport for a perfectly reasonable fee, she also offered to drive us into town with her for food shopping, which made it fun and easy. She really likes Puerto Vallarta, and was always happy to give us directions or advice about things to do in the area. We were also able to be as private or as social as we wanted to be with her and her family. We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to any friends who are coming this way! El departamento de Olga tenia todo lo que estabamos buscando—un lugar tranquilo en la naturaleza cerca de una playa linda y a la vez a unos minutos de la ciudad con sus tiendas y vida nocturna. El barrio se siente muy seguro, muy barrio donde todos se conocen. Hay 2 tiendas para comprar lo básico. Encontramos al departamento equipado tal cual dice en el perfil, básico y cómodo, pintado de colores alegres. En particular disfrutamos de la terraza—para comer, leer, y relajarnos con el arroyo burbujeante como banda sonora. También hay que decir que Olga y su familia son muy buenos anfitriones. Ella vino a buscarnos al aeropuerto por un costo muy razonable, y ofreció que la acompañáramos a Vallarta a hacer las compras, cosa que nos facilitó esa tarea además de hacerla mas divertida! Es obvio que le gusta vivir en Puerto Vallarta y mostrar lo bueno que tiene con los huéspedes. Altamente recomendado quedarse aquí si vienes a Puerto Vallarta!

Olga's place is the perfect place for people who want something different from an all inclusive resort. We especially loved sitting on the porch and watching the birds and iguanas. We are going back next year. Note that this bnb requires that you climb steep and narrow stairs.

El departamento de Olga está ubicado en una colonia muy linda al borde de la selva y costado de un río , se respira naturaleza ! La playa que está cerca es hermosa ! Muy limpia y tranquila. Olga y leo son unos anfitriones muy preocupados de que todo este bien , una excelente experiencia , esperamos volver pronto

Excelente lugar! Privacidad y un pueblo muy tranquilo donde puedes disfrutar de la playa, con una vista hermosa y una casita con las comodidades necesarias para una agradable estancia. Seguro volvemos!

Pedro's place is amazing if you are looking for a beautiful and quiet, private beach to yourself. The only thing I would suggest is to bring some of your own groceries as there is no where to purchase food and you have to rely on a local family to cook for you if you do not have anything of your own. Also, if you are looking to go into Yelapa, there are only 2 times for the water taxi..otherwise you have to hire a local for a small price. The stay was wonderful, otherwise and Pedros place was very unique.

This stay is truly Magical, I couldn't ask for a better stay and a better location. Isolated truly from society completely, this place offers tranquility to your body and soul when you sit down on the private beach watching over the ocean. It's a great romantic getaway. If you're thinking of staying I recommend at least two nights, otherwise I think 5 is more then enough. I really hope you have a chance to visitthis amazing getaway.

Un lugar muy hermoso frente al mar. Gran localización alejada del ruido y muy tranquila. Es perfecta para los que les gusta que la noche inunde la casa. El mar es muy transparente limpio y pasivo. Muy amables los anfitriones y también los pobladores. Muy recomendable.

We had the most wonderful time at Pedro's place in Pizota. Mateo, who runs the Hotelito Pizota right behind the Cabana, was incredibly helpful in answering our questions and giving us the ropes of this magical small town. We felt incredibly welcomed, and really enjoyed the people of Pizota. Every day there was an adventure; from mule rides to trips to waterfalls to whale watching. If you are looking for a true experience of Mexican paradise, I strongly suggest the Cabana. The open air was wonderful, and it still had privacy, and the sound of the waves was incredibly soothing. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Pizota is an amazing area nestled in the tropical mountains and bordering a beautiful and secluded beach. The beach front cabin was cool and rustic, and equipped with all the beach basics. The beach was relatively private and the only tourists we saw came on boats for short daily excursions to the beach, but otherwise the beach was secluded with calm clear waters. Matthew was especially attentive to our needs and went above and beyond his duties; even helping to get us firewood for a fire on the beach. It was an excellent experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away and relax.

I can't imagine a more beautiful place exists than Pizota. The house was well equipped and Mateo made everything wonderful. We brought way too many things we didn't need like towels and blankets. Be sure you bring your own groceries and plan well for your stay or arrange something with Mateo. If you want a peaceful paradise, it is the absolute most perfect place you can imagine.

A wonderful escape from it all.

Our host was delightfully welcoming and Vereda was a feast for the eyes and the soul. Beautiful and interesting art was thoughtfully placed throughout and the overall aesthetic was one of rich but simple beauty and comfort. The fantastic kitchen, there for our use, turned out to be an excellent gathering place for the six of us (renting 3 of the 4 units) and the remaining guests. The pool is both gorgeous and refreshing. Jeff, Tatiana's business partner was on hand to make sure all our needs were met and for lively conversation. Vereda is a bit of a walk from the pier in Yelapa, so guests should either make prior arrangements for transport of their bags to Vereda or be ready for a shlep. There are no cars here, so no taxi but Jeff provided assistance with these arrangements. The neighborhood is somewhat rural but their are the usual sounds of Yelapa - donkeys, dogs, roosters, and music. None of these prevented us from thoroughly enjoying our beautiful "bubble" at Vereda. We did venture out for snorkeling and hiking though. We were sad to leave and definitely hope to return. Those wishing to travel in Mexico will find a lovely refuge at Vereda that goes far beyond the usual tourist experience.

Jeff met us on the beach to help unload us from the watertaxi and get our luggage to Vereda. Extremely friendly, knowledgable, and available to answer questions--great stories about Yelapa from his childhood. He hooked us up with some local paragliders, and he even got in touch with local clinic when they were closed to help get some emergency medication for us. For such an open airy space, Primavera Pelapa was quite private--the pictures make me feel like I'm right back in the jungle--mattress was firm for a side-sleeper like me but I felt totally at ease shrouded in the mosquito netting. Even the bathroom is magical. Vereda is absolutely beautiful and a work of art in nature. Vereda is upriver about 15 minutes from the beach and town--easy access to both while also feeling tucked away in a paradisiacal retreat. Hard to imagine having picked a better space for our first trip to yelapa.

Muy buen anfitrion Jeff, un lugar perfecto para disfrutar de la naturaleza...

Jeff met me shortly after I debarked at the beach (Tatiana was away). I appreciated him accommodating my early arrival and shouldering the load of my backpack to Vereda, about a 12 min walk on dirt trails, across a small shallow river and cobblestone paths past the occasional home, business or horses. The compound is off a main road (cobblestone path), buffered by some jungly flora. Neighbors are also buffered by narrower strips of jungle. Town is about a 10-15 min walk along the same road with a couple of inclines along the way. Days were idyllic, with colorful birds, butterflies and myriad other fauna swooping around fruit trees and flowers as I lounged by the pool, cooked in the glorious kitchen, dodged falling passion fruit, etc. The beach may be the cleanest I've seen. The water is crystal clear, displaying a gorgeous bluegreen gradient. There are lounge chairs and restaurants behind them serving coconuts, etc. A few more or less unintrusive vendors market products along the beach. Although I heard very little of other guests outside the common areas (kitchen, pool), at night I was serenaded by all of nocturnal creation thriving in and around my pelapa. Ear plugs didn't quite work for me and rest was at times hard to come by. The mosquito net was effective at keeping the entomological community at bay, but I also encountered any number of fauna from bats to stinging ants when I got up to use the bathroom or whatever. They mostly minded their own business, which didn't target me. I accept all these aspects as a fair trade off for staying in the jungle with, in fact, so many comforts at my fingertips. Vereda is a retreat and the pictures, listing and reviews accurately describe it. But one must at all times submit to being a guest first and foremost of the jungle in order to enjoy it! The work the hosts accomplished to fashion a beautiful paradise harmonizing the built and natural environments is astonishing and their reverence for nature is humbling. Jeff is a laissez-faire type host. When he says, "make yourself at home" he means just that. However, ask and ye shall receive. Any concern was handled and he didn't steer me wrong when it came to suggesting a hike, finding provisions or dinner. Mornings, coffee and sometimes simple breakfast were ready in the kitchen. He shared generously fruit from the grounds, tacos or refreshing beverages he was making if I happened to be around at the same time. Jeff even arranged for me to buy some local sea salt when I asked about it after I tasted the salt in the kitchen cooking dinner. I found Yelapa safe and comfortable for traveling alone as a gal. In town, simple questions were answered and business transactions were handled matter of factly. I moved around freely more or less without unwanted contact. Thanks for sharing your jungle home, Jeff and Tatiana!

Vereda is a beautiful gem tucked just a few minutes from the beach in yellow and we were so happy to be able to stay at this place for a few days. Jeff was very nice and helpful, he met us in PV and we took the taxi to yellow together. The pool was refreshing after a hot day and even though it was unseasonably cold in yelapa the first day we were there, we had a great time exploring the place and were comfortable in our room. The palapas are so charming and artful, I love the open bathrooms and natural design so much. You feel like you're really staying in nature. The kitchen was fantastic and Jeff even gave us some really yummy queso blanco one day that we loved. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting and charming place to stay in yelapa.

Vereda is wonderful! We didn't get to meet Tatiana, but Jeff was an excellent host--friendly, knowledgeable, and hospitable. You have to know what you're getting into staying in Yelapa: bugs, loud noise, and lots of dirt. But it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Vereda is beautiful, well tended, and lush. The pool and kitchen are fantastic. The outdoor bathroom was fascinating. Make sure you are prepared for staying truly in the jungle, but then come and have the time of your life.

Everything was great!!! Jeff was a great host, helped us with anything and everything. We will go back and stay longer next time!

Vereda is a beautiful and relaxing house. The experience in Jeff's House was incredible. Jeff prepared everything for our arrival and gave us and awesome Passion Fruit juice form his garden. He advised us on what to do around Yelapa, Jeff knows everything about the area! Thank you very much for eveything!

My experience at Casa Romantico was amazing. The view, location, and, overall atmosphere was perfect for my first trip to Puerto Vallarta. The apartment provides everything you may need and more for making a romantic and relaxing vacation. Gilles and Poncho were extremely helpful and responsive when ever I had a question. I highly recommend staying here for anyone who wants to stay in paradise. The architecture is authentic with a million dollar view in a perfect location for quick access to the beach and amazing restaurants. Overall, I could not have asked for anything more.

La descripción del departamento es muy acertada y para nuestra sorpresa es mas espacioso y lindo en persona. sobre todo las vistas y el diseño abierto te hacen sentir que duermes al aire libre, muy buena experiencia. lo recomiendo para todos los que quieran estar cerca de playa de los muertos y la zona romantica.

Fantastic place to stay. I didn't read closely enough in the description, but it includes the entire 2nd and 3rd floors, all to yourself. Really big space (I was only expecting the top floor). It has pretty much everything you need. I came during the hottest month of the year, but there are 2 large fans in the room which kept me cool and comfortable at night. There's also a little bug net over the bed. I used it, but it probably wasn't even necessary because the only bug I ever saw was a grasshopper. Very easy to get to the beach. The only downside is the long set of stairs you have to go up and down, but it's good exercise ;) Gilles was punctual and met me at our agreed upon time. He set me up with the keys, and left me a couple of beers and some chips and salsa. He was reachable by message if I needed him. Also, he was flexible with my checkout time, giving me enough time to pack up and lounge a little bit before heading to the airport in the afternoon. Overall, this is one of the best AirBnBs I've stayed in. If I didn't feel like going to the beach every day, then I feel like I could just lounge outside on the balcony all day and be completely comfortable. Thanks Gilles!

Gilles and his property management team made us feel right at home and made our stay truly delightful. The photos are spot on -- but don't begin to do justice to the views and the beautiful space. To get up during the night and see the moon reflected in the ocean water was breathtaking and the sunsets were amazing, too. I don't think I've ever taken and shared so many photos from my lodgings on a trip before. Our friends probably wondered if we ever left the apartment! It is a bit of a climb up the steps, but we ended up appreciating that as it made us feel less guilty about the great food, margaritas and cervezas we enjoyed while there. And it's more than worth it for the view! It also meant we were up away from the noise for the most part. We felt like locals by the end of our nine days there and had our go-to coffee shop, grocery, etc., all within a few blocks. When we return, we'll definitely be getting in touch with Gilles.

The Casa Romantica is so charming and lovely, and is situated in a lively, fun neighborhood. Poncho, the house manager, was a great help and super welcoming. Our flight out was cancelled and he even drove us to get lunch while we figured out travel plans! This is a great place to stay if you're looking to experience PV in a very local, authentic way.

Great location and even better hosts. Chips, salsa, and Coronas on arrival were perfect. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

October 2015, I’ve just returned home after having spent a few marvelous days in the Casa Romantico Esmeralda Suite in Puerto –Vallarta. Gilles and his property manager made sure that I was well greeted and informed about the condo details upon my arrival. Being already familiar with the Romantic Zone in P-V, I certainly agree that this condo’s proximity to everything is pretty hard to beat. Within walking distance to everything (restaurants, bars, cafés, Malecon and Los Muertos beach) but just far enough away that all you hear when falling asleep is the sound of the waves on the beach below. The condo was very clean and well maintained and has everything you’d expect for that home-away-from-home feel with a Mexican décor twist; functional kitchen, bottled water, cookware and dishware and even a small assortment of spices! The space is open concept and has amazing sunset views from both floors but especially from the top floor which features a terrace and the master bedroom with full bath. The property manager was quick to respond to a few questions I had during my stay. All in all, I would totally recommend this place for a safe, quiet romantic getaway. sebastien

Place: Great two story one bedroom open room plan with two full bath rooms. Entry is through a small patio area and then up a flight of stairs. Two secure doors will allow you plenty of security. Entry into apartment will be the kitchen, great room with the most amazing views of the ocean. Up a circular staircase is an open air room closed off by curtains if you wish. The views of the Bahia de Banderas is stunning. Watch all the activities on the beach and ocean while enjoying the sound of the ocean and the birds in the trees. The bathrooms have plenty of hot water and with views to go along with your time with no worry of anyone looking in. The apartment welcomed us with beach towels, two beers in the fridge, salsa and chips. There will be a large bottle of drinking water to keep you safe from the tap water. Kitchen is well equiped with some spices. Microwave, stove, oven, fridge and TV all in good working order. Location: Follow the instructions given to you. If not, you will be climbing a lot of stairs with luggage that will make your welcome not so pleasant. There are about 150 stairs to climb to get down to the beach, but if you do not want to climb, on the street you can get a taxi or the Orange Bus which will take you down into town at the corner of Basilio Badillo and Calle Constitucion for only 7.50 pesos pp. Walking down the stairs there are pharmacies, mini marts and then there is the beach. Plenty of restaurants on the beach and a real great way to get to the Malecon for a stroll and wonderful stores to purchase everything you would want for a souvenir. Hosts: Wow. Great communication with everyone involved. Timely responses prior to arrival and then waiting for us upon our arrival, carrying our bags to the apartment which is just a few steps down then up a floor to get to the great views. Ryan met us upon our arrival and gave us a ton of information about the local area all based on our desires. Not the cookie cutter here's what is around. Overall: Loved this apartment for its location and quiet noise of the ocean putting you to sleep. While in bed, you can watch the nightly fireworks between 9 and 9:30 from the pirate ship. We counted only 8 each night but still, it is nightly and fun to watch. There are great views of the Muelle de Playa Los Muertos which changes color all night long. This is a traditional Mexican style apartment and you will love the fresh air all day long. Ceiling fans and movable fans around apartment.

Uno de los mejores departamentos que he conocido muy limpio espacioso y a bien precio

El lugar es de primera calidad. La alberca y los acabados son excelentes. Tienes que ser muy paciente con todas las reglas del condominio, sugiero hacerte amigo de los de vigilancia. Volveremos sin dudas.

Lila is wonderful. She is readily available at a moment's notice, should any need arise. We will definitely recommend her to our friends and family. Puerto Vallarta is an annual destination for my family. I will definitely stay again.

Excelente lugar para disfrutar de unas vacaciones aun en temporada alta ya que las instalaciones no tienen tanta afluencia. Muchas gracias por todo

En excelente alojamiento en Vallarta, aunque no da al mar, muy cerca hay playas muy bonitas a donde ir. El departamento tiene excelente decoración, está muy limpio y muy amplio. El área de la alberca está muy bonita y muy tranquila. Excelente para descansar. Muy recomendable!

Lila was amazing. We had some initial issues with this location but Lila took care of us immediately. She was very responsive and kinds. I would recommend anyone to her services.

Súper recomendable, el departamento está muy bonito y súper limpio. Lila estuvo al pendiente todo el tiempo y no nos faltó nada! La seguridad del edificio un poco estricta pero todo muy bien, la alberca padrisima y muy tranquila.

Wonderful location, fantastic view and very well maintained residence. Walk to town is a bit difficult due to the road, but taxi is only $3-4 USD and easy to get. Really helpful to have Lila procure the groceries ahead of time make sure to do that if you can. Pool was very quiet and serene while we were there, made a great place to chill. Highly recommend. Also, head to the beaches to the south for some more local, interesting day spots.

Excelente atención, lugar y vista!

Departamento muy bien ubicado en un condominio tranquilo con acceso a la playa y con una muy buena vista al mar.

Excelente lugar para descansar y alejarte de todo.

Excelente lugar para pasar las vacaciones! Muy tranquilo, cómodo y muy completo, tal cual se ve en las fotos, las instalaciones están súper y la playa también

The host canceled this reservation 50 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cabana de Cocos is so amazing!! It is well equipped, clean, has a very comfortable bed, super cute and is in the best possible location right in the middle of town. Plenty of great places to eat & drink Just a few steps from the front door. The icing on the cake is that Hank is a truly wonderful host. We could not have asked for more!! We loved our stay and we intend to return often!!

The location of this beautiful condo just can't be beat; it's a few blocks from the beach within the Zona Romantica, but on a quiet small side street with few residents and no businesses. You're around the corner from necessary amenities, like a pharmacy and grocery store, and just a few blocks from nightlife. The condo itself is luxurious, super comfortable with 2 big bedrooms and bathrooms, and a wonderful balcony with a hot tub. The kitchen opens up to the living room and creates a large social area. All the bedding and furniture is well-appointed and feels luxurious. The rooftop infinity pool, hot tubs and gym - I can't say enough about these amenities. The views from them are gorgeous, you look over the bay and every night is a beautiful sunset. It was nice to have a cooler/refrigerator on the pool to bring up our drinks (no glass) for when the bar isn't open. I spent more time on the rooftop than at the beach. Javier was a fantastic host. I was set up comfortably immediately, and he was always available to provide additional information if I had questions. I can't recommend this place enough!

Javier's place is immaculate and welcoming. His assistant Jan was also very helpful. The rooftop is the perfect touch to this place and was a little oasis with a great view of the bay. I'd definitely rebook when I come back. Muchas gracias Javier and Jan!

Amazing place, beautifully decorated,exceptional service. Well be back.

Exceptional, location, for what you get the price was awesome. I'd highly recommend it for future travelers.

This place was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and more. There is also a small grocery store right around the corner, perfect location to run and grab snacks to keep in the kitchen. The security guards at the entrance were very friendly and more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Not to mention, this place is just a couple minutes from your feet hitting the sand. Now on to the best part, the rooftop pool overlooking the ocean! Absolutely breathtaking views from the roof. This place is worth staying at just to have access to the pool. The unit itself it very clean and relaxing. The building is located very close to nightlife, restaurants and the malecon. Yet the building is located at the end of a street and is very quiet and away from the noisy streets. We enjoyed relaxing on the terrace after a night of exploring the area. If you are thinking about renting this place, just do it! I highly recommend you stay here while visiting Puerto Vallarta. We are wanting to make a trip back to Puerto Vallarta, and if we do, we are definitely staying here again.

This is a beautiful property in the perfect place. Easy access to the beach (3 min), and great restaurants. Views amazing on the rooftop pool area and amenities (gym) great.

I would definitely recommend this place. The location was perfect! It was walking distance to all the shops and the Malecon but wasn't as busy as the resort area in pv. When we first arrived to the place the manager was waiting for us to arrive to show us the place and make sure we knew everything about the condo. He was also also available when we had any questions and was very accommodating to our needs! The place was beautiful. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and there was a bath tub/hot tub on the balcony. On the roof was a public infinite pool with an amazing ocean view. We were very satisfied with our stay and would stay there again.

Javier's place is 1st class, you will be blown away by the interior design of D'Terrace, absolutely 1st class. Centrally located with no need for a car. We had one and hardly used it. What's even more amazing is Jan Flores, the host, he made our stay at D' Terrace 10-Star!! He was incredibly attentive to everyone's needs on a consistent basis and is by far the best host I have ever met. I would come back to D'Terrace just for his hospitality!!
