Matt & Deidre Our stay was everything and more than we expected. Your homey condo and million dollar view are priceless. Our friends were staying at the Grand Mayan Hotel. Although it is very luxurious, it had a manufactured feel about it, like an amusement park. We couldn’t wait to get back to our little slice of heaven. We mostly ate at the restaurant here, because the food and service are excellent, and watching the sunsets from there was so serene. One morning while eating breakfast we spotted two dolphins playing and diving. (Amazing). We really enjoyed the pool and the ocean. We took the bus to Boca and took a water taxi to Yelapa for the day where I had a massage on the beach. It wan an amazing experience, and more authentic than the usual tourist traps. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place, Carol & Paul

Matt & Deidre Thank you for letting me stay in both of your beautiful condos. They are both very nice, and helped to make my stay very pleasant. I look forward to coming back here, and hopefully staying for my entire stay in one of your condos. I will definitely recommend your units to family and good friends. Tomorrow I am leaving… so sad!! I hate to leave this beautiful paradise, and all of the friends I have made. Muchas Gracias Carla – Mill Creek Wa.

Hi Thank you for helping us to create so many wonderful memories here. The view is the best, with such a clear ocean. Watching all the fish is amazing. Doing the baby turtle release that the building sponsors was a great treat! We went to the zoo, and we fed and petted lots of animals, but getting to play with two baby Jaguars was truly the best! Tony’s Hideaway Restaurant, down from the zoo is a must. There are too many great places to go to mention them all. What a wonderful trip, and thanks for sharing your paradise with us. P.S. If you go fishing and catch something, the restaurant will cook it for you for a small fee!(with great presentation too)! Dave and Rachel, Graham, WA

Matt & Deidre Another wonderful vacation in paradise. The fishing was great as usual. Ricky is a good guide; we won’t use anyone else but him. We have a good time in town, and in Boca, but the best time we seem to have is here at the condo. The food is the best around, and we really enjoy the owners and other tourists here. We even enjoy the kids that are having a great time at the pool. This is our 4th stay with you, and it was awesome. We plan on coming back for years to come. Our friends are going home today, and they are not ready to leave. Reality Bites! Hasta! John & Joyce Pino, Mt Vernon, WA

Matt & Deidre Thank you for sharing your bit of paradise with us. Your recommendation for R & R was well advised, and this is the perfect place for it. The peace and tranquility we have experienced here will stay in our memories to withdraw throughout the year.. memories of the wonderful time we had here in Puerto Vallarta. We are sad to leave Mexico after 4 weeks of adventure, but we plan to return here every summer, and we hope to make your condo a part of that returning trip.

Matt & Deidre Today is our last day here & as usual, it is bitter sweet. I miss our children & 6 grandchildren (One which was 4 days old when we left) but our heart is already aching for the long days ahead until we come back next year. This is our 4th trip to Mexico, and our 3rd trip to Puerto Vallarta. We have stayed in the heart of the Flamingo golf course, and at a beautiful resort in the center of town, and once at Ixtapa, right on the ocean. Each of these places were beautiful, but this place has it all. Our quest for the perfect place is over now – This is the whole package, and it is beautiful. It’s a 10 minute bus (or taxi) ride from town and shopping. The sandy beaches at your doorsteps, and the crashing of the waves! We saw more aquatic life than we could ever count. The staff treated us like royalty. They go out of their way to cater to your whims, and anticipated our needs. Clearly it was their pleasure to serve us…an art that isnt seen much in the USA. One of the best things to do is absolutely nothing, and enjoy the deck.We watched turtles, dolphins, hundreds of colorful fish, and hundreds of manta rays. We saw 3 octopuses from our deck as the swam just off the rocks surrounding the restaurant. Today we saw schools on manta rays in groups of 30 to 50 heading towards town. They were right in front of the swimming area on the north beach. We leave tomorrow, with our hearts too full to describe, with peace, beauty and the warmth of this trip. Thank you so much for sharing your absolutely perfect place on earth with us. We will be back next year! Sincerely, Dick and Sandy Shepard, Frenchtown, MT

Hi Matt Got home last night and now it's a rainy day here in Federal Way. Had a great time and loved your place. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony, looking out over the water, with the T.V. moved so I could watch basketball and hockey games from the deck. The room was all ready for me. I took a taxi from the airport (120 pesos, not too bad), but then used the bus. The video tapes are a nice touch. Watched a couple movies. I was alone so used the kitchen a lot. Kind of boring to go out for a meal alone. The stereo system is nice. I took some cd's and cassettes. Everything about the place was nice... the pool, the desk people, the beach. The little store was going through a renovation so didn't have much on the shelves, and was closed when I checked out. I just took my backpack and rode the bus to town, stocked up on food and stuff. Prices are a lot cheaper in town anyhow.I paid 60 pesos to have the room cleaned for the next people.Colleen called me about every other day. The first call came when I was asleep and the phone has a funny ring. I thought it was a fire alarm at first. She was checking airfare and almost came down just for the 3 day weekend. Except that is when rates are the highest.We would like to use your place again. Should we send a deposit now?? We usually start checking airfares in January, and take our vacation in March, April or May. We can give you a deposit, and then check with you when we find a good airfare, to see if the room is available. Take care Ha

Hi Please accept our apologies for not sending a thank you note sooner but as you may be aware when you return from vacation, your work load usually triples and is hard to catch up. We would like to thank you for allowing us to stay in your condominium. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our vacation. The location of the condominium was beautiful during this time of the year. We look forward in going back to your place in P.V. in the future. We have taken the liberty of recommending your place to some of our friends, so don't be surprise if they contact you in the future. Thank you again. Best regards, Alonso and Angelica

Hi Matt & Dede: I just told my daughter today that I was going to email you to thank you for such a wonderful place to stay. You just beat me to it. We had a wonderful time there. They were still cleaning when we showed up, which was about 6:30pm. They really did a pretty good job of cleaning all the sawdust up. The drawers smelled of varnish for a couple of days, but we just left them open part-way to air them out. We drank your Pacificos, but left some for the next people renting it. Other than that, everything was great. The new drapes got hung and they look good. We usually closed them during the day if we were gone, but opened them to let all the sunlight in as we could. Love that sun. We got to see some whales heading south one morning. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time. While we were there, we also took in the adventure of swimming with the dolphins. What a wonderful, peaceful experience that was. A first time for us, and we would definitely do that again. We do love Mexico and look forward to going again. My son works for Horizon, so I can fly very reasonable (tax only). If I can put it together sometime this early summer, I am thinking about going again. If so, I will see if your condo is available to rent. Again, thanks. Ruby, Tami and Rosie

The Condo was awesome. That is probably the best way to describe it. Nancy and I had fun the whole time, the weather was perfect (28 to 34C, rained at night, gorgeous during the day) and atmosphere was very laid back. The staff was very helpful and both rooms were very clean when we moved in. The nut that holds the lights to the fan housing was coming loose so I tightened it up for you. The air conditioner worked great! That thing made it so cold in the room that we had to run it on low and about 3 on the temperature gauge the whole time. The only thing I can suggest is that you need a knife sharpener. That shower head is awesome it feels like your standing in the rain. I think I am going to track one down for myself. I must say the condo was everything that we had hoped it would be and more, it made for a very memorable honeymoon. I was a little worried (Nancy was more worried than me when I told her how I found the place, 'You sent money to someone you have never seen !?!) to begin with till we got there about what we might find (a tent on the beach) since we only communicated on the net. But I was more than pleased with everything. I have recommended you to a few of my friends so you may have some business next winter. Have a good summer Jay&Nancy Bangs
