Amazing Place!

We loved having this very well-stocked condo for our home base while exploring the great restaurants and entertainment within easy walking distance. Cheko was very helpful as our 'concierge' and Angela was very responsive to our queries. Watching waves, whales and beach walkers from the front room window each morning was a wonderful start to the day. And beautiful sunsets ended our days on a high note. Much more to see and do, so we'll be back!

Property Review

We had an amazing stay at this property in Puerto Vallarta! The home was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. It had everything we needed and more — fully stocked with utilities, warm pools with stunning views, and even a rooftop BBQ area that made for great family evenings.We truly enjoyed everything about the space and felt very safe and secure throughout our stay. The location was also super convenient — not far from the city, with easy access by foot or car. However, just a heads-up: the hill leading up to the house is very steep and was tough for our parents, especially since we went into town almost daily.The only downside was the nighttime noise — roosters, chickens, and dogs could get pretty loud, so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. We also had some minor issues with the front door not locking properly, but the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all our questions quickly via the app. The staff on the property were helpful overall, though at times it felt like we were a bit of an inconvenience — possibly just due to a slight language barrier.Despite those small issues, we would absolutely rebook! It felt like a luxurious home away from home, and we made so many great memories here.

Cozy condo

My husband and I enjoyed a 1-week stay at this cozy 1-bedroom condo. It was clean, comfortable and contained everything we needed for the duration of our stay. The Host was very quick to respond to our questions. We will be recommending this place to our family and friends!

Great Place in Cinco

This unit and building are a great option if you want to stay in 5 de Diciembre. The facilities are great and the location is central, but comfortably away from the party scene in the romantic zone. I would go back.

Above and Beyond

The pictures on VRBO do not do this condo's location justice. The views, especially the sunsets were spectacular. Having our own private terrace above the condo elevated (no pun intended) the experience and as a result we spent every morning and almost every evening enjoying the scenery. The location was perfect because we were within walking distance to local markets, grocery store, and many restaurants and food stands. We were able to cook many wonderful meals as a result of easy access to food. The condo itself is modernly finished but remains cozy and inviting. Everything was clean and no bugs. A nice perk was the location of the pool just 4 steps down from the condo and although the pool was so close, we were never disturbed by anyone enjoying the pool and deck when we were not. Security was not an issue, as access to the building is truly restricted to only those staying there. We always felt safe regardless of the time when walking the streets. Speaking of walking, the streets on either side of the condo are steep, and a great source of exercise. We would occasionally see people taking a break half way up the hill. By the time we left, the hill was easy to manage and a great source of exercise, especially after some awesome local tacos. Our only complaint is that the condo is not available for the same time frame next year! Its already booked.
