Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose La Cruz de Huanacaxtle
In 2009 the building boom is still continuing in the Puerto Vallarta - Riviera Nayarit area, but with so many condos and houses now on the market, advertising is even more important than it was in 1996. We chose to build our house in Puerto Vallarta because of the year-round mild climate. We were rained out of Hawaii for 2 consecutive winter vacations, that doesn't happen in Mexico. Plus the exploring of different cultures and restaurants is so much fun. We've gone on multiple road trips each year to explore Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Manzanillo, Zihuatenajo, El Careyes, Patzcuaro, and now this summer we're driving to Oaxaca.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I think that two reasons we get so many returning guests and referrals is because we change the house continually - e.g. new furniture, new appliances, new curtains, new car, relandscaped garden - and also that the house is our home and has everything a guest would want. Separate line for the those Unlimited FREE phone calls; Wi-Fi; iPOD docking stations; HD TVs; satellite and DVD in every bedroom and living room; 180 movies; electronic lockbox; full office with computer, internet, printer, fax; numerous dishes and serving pieces for guests and parties of 50 or more. Nothing is locked up - it's all for our guests' use.
When you see Punta Esmeralda, be in right lane to take overpass towards "Riviera Nayarit," "La Cruz Marina."
When you get to the gas station, you are at approx. .5 KM. CASA PAROTA is at 1.5 KM
The cobblestone road to the La Puntilla development is between Vallarta Gardens and the La Puntilla strip of stores.
This 7-11 like grocery store is just across the street from the cobblestone road leading to La Puntilla.
Owner's Map of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle
My husband Bill and I built a house in the La Cruz area, in the gated and guarded community of La Puntilla. Little did we know in 1997 that this area was the up-and-coming new area of Puerto Vallarta, to be called Riviera Nayarit. CASA PAROTA was also at the beginning of the internet rental business, which much to our surprise was a fast growing business. We just rented our house to cover the expenses, little did we know that we'd make a profit.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family. Amy, we had an absolutely fabulous time in your home. You and your husband have created a dream home to be appreciated by many. Like I had said before, the design and attention to detail made it. I have to say that the pictures on-line did not do it justice. It's a must see to believe.
