We’ve been proud owners of five properties in Punta Mita over the past 20 years and currently own two properties including Casa Alegre, our beautiful four-bedroom villa, and our Four Seasons Residence Club condos (VRBO Listing #393019).
These properties were purchased for our families enjoyment, but thanks to Vrbo, I've become something of a part-time vacation rental host, unexpected, but find it deeply rewarding. We also share our home in Kiawah Island, South Carolina when we’re not there ourselves. Luckily, we’re supported by exceptional local property managers in each location, ensuring every guest is cared for with the same attention we’d expect for our own family.
Speaking of family, I started traveling to Punta Mita with my parents and two sisters in 2006, my sister's and I grew up loving Punta Mita. Years ago, we used to vacation in Maui—but once we discovered Punta Mita, we never looked back. For us, it’s friendlier, more welcoming, more affordable, and more beautiful than Hawaii. And living near Chicago, we appreciate the convenience of a direct four-hour flight that keeps us in the same time zone, no red-eyes required.
Now grown with children of my own, I love building memories in this amazing vacation destination with my husband, son and daughter. We come down whenever possible between kids busy schedules and our ever growing personal business ventures back in Chicago.
Punta Mita is truly our happy place. I’m an avid golfer, tennis player and margarita enthusiast and there’s plenty of each to keep me smiling. We’ve built lifelong friendships with fellow homeowners here and look forward to reconnecting every winter.
If we had to choose just one place in the world to return to again and again, it would be Casa Alegre in Punta Mita.
