This gorgeous second floor condominium sits directly on and facing the ocean on the north shore of Banderas Bay in Punta de Mita. The only thing between you and the beach is the infinity pool. The views are spectacular and unimpeded. In the event that the stunning sunrises, sunsets, and views from the 47 foot-long terrace are too much for you, the residence features full amenities including satellite TV/XM stereo, wireless internet, and a video library. You will find a wonderfully furnished kitchen to prepare your favorite beverage, snack, or gourmet meal, or numerous restaurants within a few minutes walk if you don't want to cook at all. The unit is tastefully decorated and includes granite, stone, and marble in the dining area, kitchen, and baths, Mexican tile floors throughout, and elevator service direct to the unit.
The unit's large private terrace is a terrific place to dine, read, relax, nap, or entertain. The common outdoor patio area includes the 80-foot infinity pool, hot tub, barbecue, outdoor kitchen and shade palapas, and pool furniture.
The views from the master suite and living room are endless Pacific ocean expanses and include the Marietas Islands and across the bay to Puerto Vallarta and Yelapa.
Each bedroom has a deluxe King bed and private bathroom with large walk-in showers and tons of storage. The master bath also has a large soaking tub. The condominium is approximately 2300 square feet in size. There are only 18 condos in the building assuring you both peace and privacy for a restful, relaxing stay.

About Suzanne and Rick
We love the outdoors -- sailing, swimming, diving, snorkeling, skiing, surfing, whale watching, fishing, walking on the beach, spectacular sunrises, incredible sunsets, working hard, playing hard, and just plain relaxing.
Suzanne and Rick purchased this Condo in 2006
Why Suzanne and Rick chose Emiliano Zapata
Our travels and adventures brought us to Punta de Mita -- unspoiled and uncrowded, peaceful and safe. Purchasing a property right on the beach was a dream we had talked about for years, and this place is perfect. Our building has only 18 units so it retains its peaceful qualities, unlike the typical resort condos. Travel to and from Punta de Mita is easy from just about anywhere in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
What makes this Condo unique
The beach is literally just a few steps away. You can walk for miles along the beach at low tide. The panga harbor is a short walk away, you can hire a boat for diving, fishing, snorkeling, whale watching, or tours of the Mariettas Islands, just a few miles offshore (and part of our incredible view). There are a dozen or more restaurants along the beach -- everything from local fares to five-star, all within a 5 - 10 minute stroll from the property.

Wonderful, warm, inviting and memory making spot
Our experience at El Faro II #203 was better than anticipated. The rental was accurately described, clean, well maintained.
Suzanne - the property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. In addition to responding to questions regarding the property, she was insightful on where to book surf lessons, boat tours, and restaurant recommendations.
My family spent hours in the pool and at the beach right outside El Faro II We created wonderful and lasting memories. We will definitely be back!
Stunning
We loved every second of our visit to Punta Mita. From the moment we arrived we were treated with care and didn’t have a worry in the world. The place itself is beautiful, clean, and has everything you could ask for. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.
Our stay at Real Faro 2
This condo is every thing the ad shows, its amazing. The location is great, the living quarters are extremely modern, nothing missing that we could find. Your selection of restaurants and food stands in Punta De Mita are plentiful, we ate only twice in the same place only because it was so good. The local people are very friendly and always willing to help, you always feel safe even walking home after dark. The beach in front is clean and always a wave to ride. We would do a return trip any time. Thanks Suzanne
Amazing property in amazing location!
This condo is huge. Very open and large floor plan. View from patio of the ocean is fantastic. Beds are super comfortable. Very quiet and not crowded building. There were never more than a couple other people in the pool with us the whole time. The beach was likewise quiet. The town is small and sleepy but has some great restaurants and you can walk everywhere. Try some of the local taco shops....they're great!
In trying to find something that could have been better I will point out the hot tub jets didn't seem to be working properly. Or maybe there was some other way to turn on the jets. But we looked everywhere as did numerous other guests from other rooms and could not find out how to make the jets work like any other hottub. So you sit in basically just a hot pool of water with no jets. That was disappointing.
Everything else about the property was amazing and you will love it. We will definitely be going again! Owners were great and ready to assist in anything we needed as well. Can't go wrong with this place.
Breathtaking setting on the surf with beautiful sunrises and sunsets
The condo is luxurious and very spacious. It is designed for comfort and relaxation. A vacation paradise that allows you to feast on sunshine and discover the charm of old Mexico and its beautiful people
Always Enjoyable
We return to this area each year and rent this unit at El Faro 2. The unit has all amenities (new frig, dishwasher, AC, washer and dryer, and UV filter in kitchen) and is very comfortable and clean. The view is spectacular! The unit, building and grounds are well maintained. There are locked gates at the entrance to the building and at the entrances to the beach so it is secure. The beach is usually quiet, with just occasional hawkers that do not harass. The ocean water in front is safe, clean, and a great place for families. There is a good restaurant right across the street and many independent food stalls nearby that have delicious and safe food. Within easy walking distance, there are highly rated restaurants in town and in the neighborhood where the condo is located. All in all, you can’t go wrong with this unit and it’s location.
Location
Ah, Punta de Mita... Everything you need for a relaxing vacation can be found here. The villages of Emiliano Zapata and El Corral del Risco are within a few minutes stroll from the condo. Whale watching from the terrace -- or up close by boat -- is a special treat November through March as the Bay of Banderas is their winter home. The nearby Mariettas Islands are a designated marine sanctuary, beatiful for diving, snorkeling, birdwatching (the blue footed booby lives there), or a scenic boat ride. Surfing is just steps away if the waves are right, and there are multiple surf breaks within a short distance of the condo. SUP's are a daily favorite at the break just adjacent to the condo. If you're into fishing you can fish from the beach, the jetty, or by boat. The fleet of pangas is just a two minute walk down the beach. Just about any activity you can think of can be had close by: golf, horseback riding, eco tours, diving/snorkeling, whale watching (seasonal), surfing, kayaking, swimming, shelling, fishing, shopping, etc. Let us know your interests and we can get you touch with local activities. Just want a night out without the kids? Babysitting can be arranged with advance notice. There are a dozen restaurants within walking distance, many of them are beachfront. Muy romantico! If you prefer to cook and dine-in the condo kitchen is fully furnished with all the tools you need to prepare your special meals -- and the view from the terrace is hard to beat -- especially the sunrises and sunsets!
