Playa Gemelas Private Beachfront with All Amenities in a Gated Community
This Beachfront/Oceanfront 1800 sq. ft. , 3 BR, 2.5BA condo offers spectacular panoramic views of Bahia de Banderas Bay. It is nestled into a peaceful cove, surrounded by lush and colorful tropical plants. It is situated on the finest swimming beach in the Puerto Vallarta area. This is a gated community with 24 hr. security and a highly service oriented English speaking staff. Our unit is located on the 7th floor of an end building. The views are panoramic and unobstructed. The condo was fully renovated during the Summer of 2015 in a comfortable high end modern style. It now boasts Crema Nevada marble floors throughout, custom tiled bathrooms, onyx and marble counter tops, all new appliances and fixtures, and a beautifully updated decor. The unit is completely equipped with everything you might need. Dishes, utensils and cookware are plentiful. The bedrooms feature comfortable beds with hotel quality mattresses and linens. There are two King suites and one double with its own half bath. Each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit. Off the Living Room and the Master Bedroom is a spacious balcony where, at the end of another day in paradise, you can watch the dramatic sunsets that are typical in PV. During the day, it is your perch to watch pelicans, dolphins or even whales passing by. Nothing separates you from the white sandy beaches other than the 3 inviting, heated swimming pools. These are child friendly with shallow ends, and there is even a separate area for kids in the infinity pool. The impeccable manicured grounds and gardens are rich with tropical trees, plants and flowers. One of the gardens features a common area with grills. The beach is beautifully maintained, and the staff provide beach chair and umbrella service on request. There is a mini-mart next door for basic needs, including beer, wine and tequila, and a wonderful Palapa beach restaurant, built on the rocks, at the waters edge. They feature a great happy hour, delicious food, and reasonable prices. One short walk across the sand and you are there! Taxis are called for you through reception and buses run every 10 minutes to take you to town. This is a PERFECT location: away from the noise and crowds but only 10 minutes away by car from all of the great restaurants, nightclubs, cafes, shops and galleries in the quaint El Centro. Daily maid service is available at an extra charge. A private chef can also be arranged. The condominium has private WIFI and a wireless Bose sound system to play your iTunes or internet radio. There are two Smart TVs - one in the living room, and one in the 2nd master bedroom. Parking on the premises is plentiful and free for guests.
One stroll through the Romantic Zone or down the Malecon in the center of town, and you know this area is a haven for artists. Our condo reflects this, and is extensively decorated with original paintings by Mexican artists. It offers upscale furnishings, indoor/outdoor seating areas, and comfortable entertaining space. The lighting is designed to make evenings in this condo enchanting! It is an idyllic launching pad for your Puerto Vallarta vacation!

We loved this spot! The property manager was very quick to address an issue we had which we appreciated very much. We look forward to returning to this special location!
Beautiful property in a beautiful setting. The condo is decorated with high quality Mexican furnishings and art. The wrap around balcony is perfect for sweeping views of the bay and whale watching. I really appreciated the detailed and helpful instructions too. It was very easy to communicate with the hosts and they were quick to reply. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
This is a lovely condo,with an amazing lanai overlooking the bay. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds are extremely comfortable with great linens! The bathrooms have all been redone so those were exceptional as well. The Mexican artwork and the design of the furnishings are all 5 stars! Beautifully done!!!
The condo is very spacious and worked perfectly for my husband, myself, adult son, daughter and boyfriend. Beds are comfortable and the view is spectacular! The location is perfect as
Very pretty view, feels like you are over the ocean. Favorite part watching the resident turtle swimming when the water was calm and also the eagle rays from the balcony. And then running down to snorkel with them, although the turtle is very shy! Also, watching the lightening storms from the balcony. Liked the beach there, sandy bottom and the pools were large. The building and gardens are kept up nicely. Our teens were wishing there was a gym but apparently there will be soon.
A spacious and lovely condo with a spectacular view and location. We saw whales multiple times each day from the beautiful and large balcony and fell asleep to waves through the night. Many thanks to Monika for being such a responsive and gracious host! We hope to return many times.
Great week at this condo. Condo appears to be very well run and it is secure.
Everything was as advertised. Easy to get a cab into town for $10-12. Would certainly stay here again.
We spent a week watching whales, turtles, dolphins and even a manta ray from the condo and property. Everything in the condo was just as advertised. Information from the owners prior to arrival was super helpful. We will definitely be back.
Stunning view,comfortable bedding,plenty of towels,and basic spices,glassware ect. Easy beach/pool access,friendly staff ,very clean property. Very responsive owner, who went above and beyond to be of service. Honestly probably couldn't have for our group and needs stayed at a better condo.
We had a wonderful time. The view is beautiful and the beach is amazing. I didn’t want to leave. The owners replied to my question so quickly. The amenities were great!
This condo is stunning, the art work is beautiful. With an amazing ocean view we were treated to watching humpbacks from the comfort of the patio. So very clean, with everything we need to prepare meals. Room service is available from the beach restaurant, at an additional, but reasonable price. Communications with the hosts were wonderful. Quick response and touched base during our stay to ensure our needs had been met. 100% would recommend!
We had a great stay at the property. The property was so well kept and we enjoyed the pool and beach access.
The beds were all comfortable and we were able to be together but also have some private time.
The balcony was where we enjoyed evenings with each other.
The only draw back was the distance from the city.However, that was a plus as well as we felt we were truly in paradise.
Thanks so much!

Beautiful space with lots of little extras!!
We have just returned from a most memorable week at Playa Gemelas! The condo is furnished with beautiful and simple furnishings that celebrate the space and the culture of PV. Filled with all the little extras that make a home away from home, we found everything we needed with ease and comfort. The grounds, pools, and beach are stunning! I can't say enough great things about our time spent here. We will certainly be back!
We loved our stay here. The views were amazing and we loved spending time just watching the waves and the Pelicans flying by numerous times a day. The unit was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The pools were great and perfect temp. We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas set up daily. The snorkeling was great right off the beach. The owners were quick to answer any questions and super friendly. The taxi service to town was so easy...just call to front desk and they sent taxi right to the building. Highly recommend this unit!
Condos were in a great area. Perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the sun. If you are looking for a partying place, not here. Family friendly. A lot of construction going on to better the complex. Only downfall was no AC in common area. Beautiful wood doors but they don’t close completely to cool the one bedroom. Needs a few updates but overall, a great experience. It was our first time not staying at an all inclusive hotel/resort. Love Puerto Vallarta!!
My friend and I rented the condo for a week. We loved the location, especially the view from the balcony. Every day we went down to the beach for a swim, and in the evening we would go into Puerto Vallarta for dinner. Although the rental is outside of the town centre, it was easy to get around by bus. We also took the bus to the Botanical Gardens, which is worth a visit.
The condo was also clean and had everything we needed, including purified water. Although the unit had AC, we did not use it because temperatures were cool enough with using the fan and outside breeze.
We look forward to a return visit to Puerto Vallarta and Playas Gemelas.
We spend 3 weeks at this beautiful condo at Playas Gemelas. We loved the location and the beach. The beach is perfect for swimming, and we spent nearly every day there. The location is convenient, only 15-minute cab ride to town but far enough to be quiet and relaxing. The views from the balcony are even better in person, we couldn't get enough. The condo is well stocked, functional, and comfortable for any family. Communication with the owners has been superb. Monika and Bruce has been most gracious hosts, provided many useful tips and information, and responded very promptly to any questions or concerns. Gemelas complex was well appointed, pools were great too, staff and security outstanding. All in all, a wonderful vacation. We shall be back for sure!

About the host
Hosted by Bruce Moore
We are a professional couple living in Atlanta, GA, and are co-owners of this property with my brother, who is a physician in Denver. We both have large families, with 8 kids between us, and are not able to visit Puerto Vallarta as often as we would like. We have decided to open our home to discerning vacation renters.
Why they chose this property
My family has been vacationing in Puerto Vallarta since the 1980's. This town has always held a special attraction due to its great blend of old world Mexican charm and access to upscale, modern amenities such as great restaurants and fabulous art galleries. Playas Gemelas is in the perfect location, with easy access to town, yet, the atmosphere is peaceful and unhurried - a perfectly private little slice of paradise.
What makes this property unique
Since previously my parents lived in PV several months out of the year, this condo is appointed and equipped as a home, not a rental unit. You will not find bare cupboards and a few utensils here. Most everything you will need is provided. This Summer we completed a total renovation of the unit, and it is new and crisp. There are locally owned supermarkets and fish vendors in town, and a WalMart, Sam's Club and Costco by the airport. The fresh seafood is not to be missed! For some quick, basic items there is a small grocery in the Girasol building across the beach - yes, they carry beer, wine and tequila. If you are not interested in cooking, there are many wonderful restaurants within easy reach.
