Beachfront with private pool, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom Casa Pamela is a luxurious vacation home located in the exclusive residential community of La Puntilla, just 20 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport on Mexico's Pacific coast. This area of the Mexican Riviera is quickly becoming known as "Riviera Nayarit".
Casa Pamela is the epitome of elegance and comfort and is decorated with whimsical artwork and Mexican Folk Art throughout. Sliding glass doors across the living room, dining area and master bedroom span the entire width of the house and provide a spectacular view over the pool, the gardens and the ocean. In the living room, in addition to comfortable furniture, tucked away in an armoire you will find a TV with English Language Satellite, DVD player, VCR and video collection, CD player and CD's as well as a collection of books and board games. In the dining area there is a large glass-topped dining table surrounded by four high back wrought iron chairs, accented by a mirrored wall and beautiful artwork.
The king-size master bedroom and en-suite master bath with soaker tub and shower opens onto the poolside patio where you can watch the spectacular sunrises over Banderas Bay from the patio, or right from your bed!
The second and third bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, look onto the landscaped front garden. The third bedroom has TV with English Language Satellite and there are two full bathrooms with marble showers adjacent to the second and third bedrooms.
The three bedrooms are air conditioned and there are ceiling fans and sparkling white marble floors throughout the house. The fully equipped white tiled kitchen is complete with refrigerator, four burner gas stove with oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. As well, there is a laundry room off the kitchen with full-size washer and dryer.
Bring along your laptop and use the complimentary wireless internet.
Step outside to your own private oasis surrounded by shimmering waters and a spectacular oceanfront view. In the morning, relax on the patio with a cup of coffee and watch the sun make its way over the mountains. Spend the day lounging in the beautiful pool or sunbathing on the poolside patio. The beach, relatively private and without vendors, is just steps away across the palm lined common garden. At night, the lights of Bucerias and Puerto Vallarta shimmer in the distance across the Bay of Banderas.
Enjoy a cool, relaxing drink in the shade of the full length overhang where you can read a good book, play games, watch the birds and sea life and the wide expanse of the Bay before you. From Casa Pamela it's an easy and enjoyable stroll into the village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle for shopping and restaurants or a visit to the shops and restaurants at new Marina La Cruz.
A security guard is at the gated entrance 24 hours a day, and a security patrolman is on the beach in the evenings and throughout the night. Our English/Spanish speaking Property Managers will greet you on your first morning to answer any of your questions. A guest handbook in the house details pool, lawn, and maid service, and we provide a list of things to do as well as a list of some of our favourite restaurants and places for evening entertainment.
Casa Pamela is wheelchair accessible and as a non-smoking home, we invite you to smoke outside or on the patio only, please. As Casa Pamela is an Adult Exclusive property, we request no children under 16 years of age, please. We are sorry, but pets are not allowed.

We had a great time at Casa Pamela--very nice accommodation! We took the bus into Puerto Vallarta one day--a nice town but far too touristy for me. We preferred the little village of La Cruz. The market/store near Philo’s (Restaurant and Bar in La Cruz) is the one to go to, it has all the fresh produce and lots of it! It would have been more convenient to have a rental car, but you were right, the roads were very congested during the big Mexican holiday week! I would love to come back one day for the Tequila tour and do some fishing. All the information you provided before our arrival was great. We ate at Hidden Paradise just down the beach, had a great meal at Frascati in La Cruz and spent Thursday evening at Philo's for open mike night! One night Lettie and Jesus cooked dinner for us and another night we bought a delicious barbequed chicken and brought it "home" to Casa Pamela. Wonderful meals the entire time! Thanks again for everything, we hope to return to Casa Pamela soon!.

Hello Marilyn: Hard to believe we have been back over a week already! Everything about Casa Pamela was great. The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with about anything everything a person could possible need. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the nice warm sunny weather as compared to the ice, snow and freezing cold weather we were having back here in the mid-west while we were gone. The property managers, John and Carol were very nice and very informative about the local area. The guys at Gecko Car Rental were great as well. Thanks again for all the information you provided for shopping and restaurants prior to our trip. We loved the open market!

A totally luxurious experience! Comfortable and spacious throughout, Casa Pamela is beautifully furnished and located for either active days in Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias and neighboring areas, or simply indulging in the serence privacy at the casa. Each bedroom and bathroom is wonderul, and whether or not you cook a lot, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The pool is awesone! We loved our time at Casa Pamela and returned home completely relaxed! We look forward to our next trip!

We have been to the beautiful Puerto Vallarta area many times over the past few years, staying at large hotels and renting private homes, but nothing has compared to this most special place--Casa Pamela. Simply put, our stay at Casa Pamela has taken us to another (higher) level of comfort and beauty. The owners have transformed this beautiful villa into a very, very comfortable setting, with all the amenities one would expect at home. A well planned inside and outside venue with a magnificent city, Bay, and ocean view, supported by its own private pool and beach area in a gated community that is close to shopping and yummy restaurants...French stuff (LeFort Restaurant) too!

…Ahhh, the gentle caress of the waves, the palms rustling in the wind, the spectacular pool, the beautiful Casa Pamela. What more can a person want--our stay was absolute perfection!

We had a great time at Casa Pamela! The house was wonderful. It was immaculately clean and we were so surprised at how well equipped it was. What a pleasure to have amazing original art work on the walls and all the beautiful pieces of art and crafts around the house. Every day as we lounged in the pool, we played a game where we tried to think of something that we didn't like, but could never come up with anything! We would like to thank you for all your help, especially the information you e-mailed us before the trip. The Guest Handbook at Casa Pamela was very helpful and we would also like to thank you for recommending Gecko Car Rental to us.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pamela! What a gorgeous home! Words cannot convey how impressed we were with the entire experience. There was total agreement by all that this ranked as one of our top vacations--bar none! The accommodation is INCREDIBLE!! Roomy and grander than website pictures with plenty of the basic necessities for cooking, entertaining, and living comforts. We got fresh fish in La Cruz--OUTSTANDING! The staff, including maid, pool person and gardening crew were wonderful! It has been years since we have spent a week at such a relaxing pace. Please be sure to send a huge thank you to the owners for allowing guests the opportunity to enjoy their Casa. I will surely recommend Casa Pamela to anyone who would appreciate and care for this type of setting. No visitors could ask for a more comfortable place to vacation. Plain & simple, we can't wait to go back for another vacation!

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING. You do an outstanding job. Our visit was MAGNIFICENT, albeit too short. Casa Pamela is absolutely gorgeous. We walked into Bucerias one day and had lunch at Dugarel's. A long walk--about 2 hours--but we took our time and explored the beach along the way. As the tide was out we turned over rocks and found numerous baby octopus. I could go on and on. Ten days at Casa Pamela is just too short. Once again, thank you!
