You could not ask for a more beautiful view of the Bay of Banderas. The property is right on the water's edge with unobstructed views of the ocean and surrounding area. The pool on the top floor is spectacular and you find yourself just staring out at the view and the boats passing by.
The management company is Vacasa which manages thousands of properties around the world and they should have better hands-on of this property. It is just not
adequately stocked with kitchen necessities to make your stay comfortable. This unit is 25 minutes South of PV and when you get there you would like to perhaps have a nice cold drink. No ice maker in the fridge or on the property and no ice trays in the fridge. You want ice, catch a cab to the nearest store. Now the ice is taking up all of your freezer. We were there for 2 weeks and when we did our grocery shoping we had no place, zip, nada, to put your groceries. No cupboard or shelving at all. We had to rearrange the kitchen to put the groceries away. And the designer furniture is maybe perfect for photos but not for comfortable sitting.
I shouldn't be so critical but I own short term rental at home and know what a guest expects and Vacasa really did not think this through this unit very well.
That said, we have traveled to PV for 25 years and this property undoubtably has the most incredible views of any place we have ever stayed. It is quiet and the staff is great. Getting to restaurants can be a challenge so I highly recommend having a rental car. It is worth it. Hop in the car and there are dozens of restaurants very close.
