LOCATION This home is an unusual rental: an upscale, modern home on Mazatlán’s famous Paseo Centenario, just above the historic center of town. This is a great location on Cerro del Vigia (Lookout Hill), two blocks from Olas Altas with its sandy beach, crashing waves and famed malecón, an oceanside walkway lined with seafront restaurants, monuments, and Mazatlán’s best people watching. The celebrated Plazuela Machado in the heart of Old Mazatlan is an easy 10-minute walk from the house and the downtown central market is a 15-minute walk. There are many restaurants, bars, and small shops located in the neighborhood, as well as a great spa.
VIEWS The home’s prime hilltop location offers views in every direction. From the kitchen, you can see the high-rise hotels of the Zona Dorada (Golden Zone). The Pacific Ocean twinkles through keyhole views just across the street. The master and large guest room have views of Stone Island and the coastline south; the sizeable deck boasts a truly spectacular view of Mazatlán’s harbor.
KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM This modern, breezy kitchen is spacious and comfortable with good views and a comfortable area for informal dining. The kitchen was outfitted by an owner who loves to cook; it has first-class supplies ranging from stainless steel pots and pans to new dishes, fine drinking glasses, Italian cutlery, etc. For your health and peace of mind, the kitchen has both a UV water-filter system and bottled water on the premises. There is a separate laundry room with washer and dryer and a large pantry leading to yet another small deck and the lower level party room. The kitchen table seats four and the formal dining room table seats six. Each room has ceiling fans and breezes.
BEDROOMS AND BATHS This 3-bedroom, 4-bath home offers a great deal of privacy. The master bedroom is located in its own wing and has a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, full bath, and small balcony off the front of the house. The second, equally spacious bedroom is located in another wing. It has 2 queen beds and is adjacent to a full bath entered off the hall. A third, small bedroom with 1 queen bed is also in this wing. All three bedrooms have extensive built-in closets and drawers and all are furnished with high-quality beds, pillows, linens, and towels.
Both large bedrooms have individual AC units and the small bedroom has a large ceiling fan. There is a powder room off the living room and an additional full bath off the downstairs party room. (Please note: "full bath" means a sink, toilet, shower, and the normal accessories that accompany these items, there are no bathtubs in this house.)
THINGS TO DO IN MAZATLAN There are great neighborhood strolls right outside the door and a small, sandy surfing beach (Playa Olas Altas) two short blocks away. Mazatlán's historic center, the neighborhood that starts just at the bottom of the hill, has an art museum, an archeological museum, the Angela Peralta Theater, the Casa Machado, Spas ($20 massages), an English-language library, and many good restaurants, bars and shops.
Some of the city’s most popular restaurants are located around the Plazuela Machado, a lovely, shady, bench-lined town square which is the historic heart of Mazatlán. The recently refurbished Angela Peralta Theater offers everything from films to concerts to opera. The Plazuela is a relaxed 10-minute walk from the house. |
