Casa Carole can be rented either as a four or a five bedroom, private luxury villa to suit the size of your group. (See VRBO listing #463664 for 4-bedroom rates.)

You can walk to town along the beach (about 25 minutes)
Casa Carole was built by the owners in the clasical Colonial Style with arches, exposed adobe brick and beamed ceilings. It's 6,500 square feet, on four levels, cascade down the hillside between the coast road and the ocean below. There is direct access to a secluded sandy beach with great snorkeling among the volcanic rocks in front of the villa. The 1,500 sq ft pool terrace features a huge, heated, infinity pool and adjacent Jacuzzi spa, plus a palapa covered wet bar with refrigerator and gas BBQ. The Pool Deck alcove provides shade in summer.
Each of the 5 bedroom suites is located on a different level for maximum privacy and has a bathroom ensuite. Each bedroom has marble floors and a large balcony with magnificant ocean views. There are large windows and doors open to the sea breezes and elegant decor throughout, plus air conditioning in all five bedrooms. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms, living room, dining room and in the pool deck alcove. Take a virtual tour of Casa Carole on our website with floor plans and 17 360-degree photos of every major room in the villa. (see our website address below).
Our fulltime staff of three, (that our guests rave about) come six days a week to cater to your every whim. Maria, a great chef, cooks two gourmet meals a day that you have selected from her extensive menu. Our guests say our houseman/concierge Pepe is 'the perfect host'. His margaritas served on the pool deck at 4 are outstanding. He is available to help you with any arrangements you may need to make your visit memorable, from fishing trips to your own fireworks display from the rockes in front of the villa. Carmen our maid, cleans the rooms every day and can do your personal laundry as well. We also have Crispin 3 days a week to keep the pool perfect.

Took the whole family here for a week. We had a wonderful time. Each bedroom as a real sense of privacy. Each also has a great bathroom and front facing deck. The view is divine. The staff was very wonderful. It was such a pleasure never have to cook, do dishes or clean. We felt very pampered by all three of them.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your prompt review of your week at Casa Carole. It sounds like you had a great time. You certainly covered the waterfront with the kinds of people who you recommend should come and enjoy Casa Carole. Over the years, we have had some of every kind that you have recommended. Thanks again. John Hethrington Co-Owner (with my wife Carol) of Casa Carole

It's hard to write a review for Casa Carole right now because three days back, we're still missing it tremendously! After several extremely helpful conversations with owners Carol and John, and hours spent looking at the pictures of the property online, Casa Carole somehow exceeded our expectations in every way. We were a group of five adults and four children and here's what we loved about Casa Carole: - A house offering the perfect balance between wonderful gathering spots (the dining room, the pool) and privacy afforded by bedrooms on different levels. - Nature's sound machine of breaking waves lulling you to sleep every night. - Tidepools for the kids to explore and snorkeling among the lava rocks just steps away from your private pool. - The perfect crow's nest for parents. Sit on one of the two decks (one shaded, the other warmed by the sun) above the pool reading a book while the kids swim. Each hour or so, look over the railing and say, "be nice to your sister, don't hold her head underwater." Resume reading. - Waverunners and private boats brought directly to your beach for affordable hourly rentals. - Views, views and more views. From every window and deck on the house. But most of all, we miss Pepe, Maria and Carmen. They are more than a staff, they are completely invested in your happiness on your trip. Pepe does a little of everything, from booking trips to serving drinks, always with a smile and care. Maria cooks the most delicious food that we know little about Puerto Vallarta's restaurants...because we only visited one in a week. And Carmen slips quietly in and out of rooms like a shadow converting your room from a mess to immaculate and you wondered when she did it. From the moment we inquired about the property to the moment we sadly left Casa Carole's driveway, this was an A+, luxury experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough, provided you don't book the week we want to go back!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car.

This was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip I have ever been on! Such a beautiful home, much more than we ever expected! The staff (Pepe, Mari and Carmen) tended to every need, and always with a smile. The food was also absolutely amazing. Everyone agreed that each meal far surpassed any that we had at a restaurant. The whole house was always clean and quickly tended to. We were truly spoiled with that villa and the fabulous staff. Can’t wait to return to Casa Carole! An unforgettable trip!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We could not be more pleased with our stay at Casa Carole for our Puerto Vallarta vacation. The villa is breathtakingly beautiful, with its traditional Mexican decor. We felt so at home, and at the same time, we enjoyed the "exotic" nature and surroundings. The Casa Carole staff literally spoiled us with their amazing cuisine and services. Every meal they served us was delectable. They even prepared a birthday cake for my husband on our fifth night and helped make the evening that much more special. Puerto Vallarta is a great city to visit. We also had the great adventure of visiting an old village called San Sebastian and a tequila factory in the remote hills of the Sierra Madre mountains. Of course we also sampled lots of locally made tequila and learned so much about Mexican culture and traditions. Thank you so much to the Casa Carole owners John and Carol and staff for making this holiday a memorable one.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

I cannot begin to describe the incredible time we had at Casa Carole. The villa was even more beautiful than I was expecting!! Absolute paradise!! But what made it the trip of a lifetime for us was, not only the incredible villa, but Pepe, Carmen and Maria. They were awesome, and totally spoilt us rotten! Carmen is so sweet, and kept the house immaculate. Maria’s beautiful smile every morning was as magnificent as the view – but her cooking, that was worth the trip alone!! And Pepe, what a gentleman! He organized everything for us, always made sure we had the best margaritas I’ve ever tasted, and always made us laugh! When it came to tours that we wanted to do, Pepe took care of it all for us and booked us on the best ones (swimming with the dolphins will always be one of my fondest memories!!). It was our friend Fred’s birthday while we were there, and he received a cake and a wonderful birthday serenade from Carmen, Maria and Pepe. I have to say, Carmen, Maria and Pepe are Casa Carole’s biggest assets!! We miss them every day since we’ve returned. I hope you know how wonderful they are. The house was amazing, and in such a great location. The pool was spectacular – in fact we didn’t leave the villa at all for the first 3 days, except for dinner on Sunday night – and even that was just 1 minute walk down the beach!! Now if I didn’t know better, I would guess that you also organized the weather for us, because it was just as perfect as everything else!!!Did you find this review helpful?

We recently visited Casa Carole for a week long, family, 60th Birthday celebration for my mother. A TRUE vacation for all! The staff, foremost, made the experience a true experience. The food was fresh, simply prepared & delicious. The variety was also amazing & we had no desire to eat anywhere other than at home. Samuel, Maria & Carmen are so hospitable & served our EVERY need.....from arranging massage therapists, snorkeling trips, shopping locations, cocktails poolside & birthday cakes to laundry! The house is beautifully decorated, updated & clean. We were fortunate to observe whales & dolphins every day of the trip. The house's location is also wonderful.....being only a few miles from city center. It worked perfectly for the 5 families & 4 small children. It's worth noting that we all felt safe during our entire travels & stay in PV.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

Thank you to John and Carol for opening up your Puerto Vallarta home to us! We had an amazing time thanks to Samuel, Lola and Carmen! We couldn't have asked for better service from the staff ~ Samuel booked fun adventures for us and made fabulous cocktails poolside, Lola cooked amazing meals, and Carmen kept the casa clean and tidy at all times. It was very fun to have the banana boat pick us up right on our very own beach and all the boys were grateful for Samuel hooking them up with a very sucessful fishing trip. Taxis and restaurants were convenient - great location and so close to downtown. We can't wait to return!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

Samuel, Lola & Carmen Muchas Gracias from Texas! This our 3rd trip to the villa and it just gets better every time we come. The food and special attention given by you guys is outstanding, which is why we will continue to come back again and again. You are all very genuine and work very hard to please us in every way possible. It is obvious you take much pride in your work. Our Mexico vacations are very special to us with the busy lives we lead back home. This is by far our favourite place to come relax and enjoy our home away from home and to visit with our Mexican family here. Until next time ….. mucho amor –Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info

About the owner: Carol and John Hethrington live a rural life in apple country, high on the Niagara Escarpment overlooking beautiful Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada. John is a retired marketing executive, currently busy with local and federal politics and his activities as a Master Gardener. Carol is a retired political staffer, and with John, is heavily involved in their community both socially and as a volunteer.

Why the Owner Chose South Zone:
After visiting friends in Vallarta in the late ‘70s, and entranced by its colonial charm, together they built Casa Carole right on the sea. The villa was designed for them by a local architect in the traditional Mexican Colonial style. With support of a professional local manager and a wonderful staff in Vallarta, Carol and John are “hands-on” owners, overseeing all aspects of ownership and rental of their luxury villa. One of their greatest pleasures is proudly sharing their villa with family, friends and clients. Even with the many upgrades over the years, Casa Carole continues to reflect their appreciation of the classical character and charm of old Mexico.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Casa Carole was designed as a rebtal property with each bedroom equiped with a bath en suite and balcony with ocean views.
Our staff makes Casa Carole a wonderful family home for our guests. We host many multi-generational groups and special celebrations all year long. Our staff makes them unique and memorable.
Just read the reviews. They are all about our staff.
