We recentlty returned from a 2 week stay at Vista Villa Condominiums. An absolutly great facility. We had 3 couples staying in the condo and with the large layout as well as all 3 bedrooms having their own ensuite, this unit suited our requirements totally. The condo is very well kept and exceptionally clean. The staff is also very helpfull. The beaches are very clean and not the least bit crowded. There were no peddlers on the beaches in the 2 weeks we were there. This condo provided us with the peace and quiet that we were looking for to enjoy a very relaxing vacation. Very highly recomended. 5 Star Accomodation.

This is a lovely place, spacious, light, airy, with three generous sized bedrooms and three nice baths, a well appointed kitchen, large dining room and table, and sizable relaxing living room, all with nice furniture. But the "piece de resistance" is the patio, close to 1,000 square feet, looking out in two directions, directly over the beach and ocean, and south along a well populated pretty beach, with easy walks and sunsets to die for. The staff at the Ocean Vista is friendly and helpful. There are several nice restaurants within a five minute walk (Mexican, Spanish, Italian, a cafe), not to mention water taxis, and a dolphin show where you can swim with them if desired, and two nearby small grocery stores. Also a safe area, including the filtered water in the condo. It would be hard to improve upon.

It was reunion time for five friends from high school who just celebrated their 65th birthday. We just returned from a wonderful week in Nuevo Vallarta staying at Ocean Vista. We loved the spacious accommodations – three very large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a large dining table, large living room and wrap around outside deck, complete with outdoor bar. The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessities to make cooking and eating a treat. A large barbeque grill and palapa were also provided for our use. We had the pool to ourselves most of the week. The pool is at the ocean’s edge. While swimming, you feel apart of the bigger ocean. Two of the bedrooms have an ocean view. Sitting on the deck watching the sunset was a special treat. This little piece of heaven is a quiet retreat you can’t help but fall in love with... A free tour bus took us around the area. We took a taxi to have dinner in Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias. There were also restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend Guido’s Italian restaurant within two blocks of the residence. There is beach access and two lovely stone piers jutting into the ocean to walk on. You can walk on the beach to a nearby hotel and have a cool drink on the beach. We will certainly go back.This is everything that Mr. Mazda says it is and more. Fred Mazda is very informative and easy to work with.

I spent many months researching and planning a spring break vacation for my family in March 2008. I was very fortunate to have selected Mr. Mazda's condo at Ocean Vista Residences. We had 8 people in our group; 5 adults and my three grandchildren, ages 11, 5 and 2. The spaciousness, layout and location of the property suited us perfectly. We had vacationed in the area twice before, but nothing could compare to this last experience. The condo is located close to, but separate from the big tourist resorts which we so appreciated since we were looking to spend time together and reconnect as we all live in different states. When we wanted quiet time, the very accessible beach and pool were perfect. The condo is within walking distance to Vallarta Adventures (where we took advantage of several outings) and several very good restaurants. Taxis were easy to access and very reasonable, even for our large group. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Mazda. Every comment he makes about the condo and the area is completely true. The kitchen was well equiped and we enjoyed many home made meals while watching the sunset. Everything we could want was provided, including a beach umbrella (how thoughtful) and two boogie boards which two of my granddaughters put to very good use. My only hesitation in giving this vacation condo 5 plus stars is my fear that it will become too popular and will not be available the next time we want it. =

The condo rates a 5 star. Spacious and a well equipped kitchen. Quiet and no vendors on the beach, was a big plus to us. The staff was helpfull, bus service within walking distance, and dining. Recommend the Mexican coffee and dessert at Eddie's across the street. The only negative side was not being able to stay longer than 1 week. Sunsets, dolphins, fireworks all seen from the balcony. Highly recommend this condo. Bill & Barb Radke

We just returned from 10 days in Nuevo Vallarta. The Mazdas' condo was beautiful!! They are wonderful to work with. The condo is spacious and welcoming. I cook alot and found everything I needed. The views are spectacular! The is the most beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the sight of mountains and ocean. The pool was great, we grilled and ate by the pool and enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets on several nights. Just across the way, a short water taxi ride, is the Paradise Village Resort. The condo has use of the resort and the children really enjoyed the huge pool and activities there. We enjoyed sitting under the huts at the beach and having reasonably priced lunch and drinks brought to us. If you're looking for adventures, there are so many within an hour north and south of the condo. We did it all! This has been the most amazing and wonderful vacation! Thank you!!

Owner response:Access to Paradise Village resort is now limited only to the Beach club and its facilities, for a per person, per day usage fee.

We want to thank you for renting your condo to us. It was so clean and so spacious. The view was awesome, not only because full beach, but the marina as well. We saw sunsets and sunrises. We enjoyed the privacy and the security. Of all the places we have ever stayed (suites, condos, hotels), throughout the Carribean, Mexico, Hawaii and Europe, your place was by far the best.We recommend your place to anyone interested in visiting Puerto Vallarta area. Thank you.

This Condo is 5 star all the way. We have stayed in PV 4 times, The westin and the Villa Preimier, This out-classed the luxury hotels in most ways. Better than Paradise Village because you can escape back to your own piece of paradise when you want to relax. The Unit is located at Ocean Vista which is very well kept up and clean. The staff is friendly and courteous. The ride over to the beach is prompt and quick, every half hour(on the button)via the Aqua Patto. The views from the unit are fantastic. Mr. Mazda is a good person to do business with. A+

We had a lovely time in Fred Mazda's condominium in Nuevo Vallarta. The facility was wonderful, the views breathtaking, and the staff extremely helpful. We joined friends of ours there so there were eight of us in the unit. With the three bedrooms and bathrooms, the large dining room, lovely living area and deck we never felt in the least bit crowded. The views were every bit as wonderful as Mr. Mazda said they would be. The condo complex itself is lovely but the access to the resort made it perfect for the kids. We would often go to the resort to use the free boogie boards, to eat out, and to people watch. But it was terrific to return to the condo to take a swim in the lovely, quiet condo pool or sit in the spa. It took a little while for us to figure out how to most effectively use the free water taxi to get to the resort but once we got our timing down we rarely had to wait more than a few minutes to get to where we wanted to go. It runs every 30 minutes on the half hour and it only takes about 3 minutes to get across the small body of water separating the condos from the resort. Do know, however, that when we were there in June, the water taxi would stop running a little before 6:00 p.m. Then it becomes a little more inconvenient to go back and forth from the condo to the resort as the drive to the resort from the condo is rather circuitous and there is no automatic service by land. We ended up taking a taxi sometimes simply because forgot to call ahead and we didn't want to wait for the land shuttle. The taxi ride is pretty much set at 30 pesos (about $3.00). The air-conditioned mall over by the resort was great and our teenagers loved the fact that there was easy access to two different cybercafes. We used the grocery store there as well and found it to be generally well stocked -- although we generally ate out except for breakfast and snacks. We did not have a bad meal the whole time we were in the area. The Italian and Mexican food restaurants at the mall were excellent (a big surprise for us) as were those at the Paradise Village resort. We really appreciated how clean and well equipped the unit was (kitchen utensils, drying rack for towels, coffee maker, blender, hair dryer). Everything seemed to go perfectly on this vacation. We all agreed it was the best place we have ever stayed. While we were a little concerned about renting from someone we did not know over the internet we would not think twice about doing busin
