About this property

Casa Guacamole: Magical 5 BDRM Open-Air Hacienda with Million Dollar Ocean Views

*As featured on HGTV's House Hunters International: "Connecting in Puerto Vallarta", Season 104, Episode 3

Casa Guacamole now has fiber-optic internet!

Casa Guacamole is a very special property that sits on the hill above Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in the "Gringo Gulch" area of downtown Puerto Vallarta. A three level hacienda offering 180 degree views of Banderas Bay and the ocean from all 5 bedrooms, great room area, kitchen, dining area and pool. The 3rd floor has two bedrooms with ensuite baths. The 2nd floor includes master bedroom/bath and 2 other bedrooms - one bedroom has ensuite bath, the other has a large bathroom across the hall with double vanity and separate areas for shower and water closet. All bedrooms have large balconies and king size beds, with the middle bedroom on 2nd level (bedroom #2) and the southern bedroom on the third level (bedroom #5) having the option to split the king size beds into two twin beds. Main level has formal dining area for ten, media room, family room, kitchen, casual dining area for ten, full bath, pool, outdoor dining area for ten, and fountain - "open-air" concept so few walls to delineate the space. There is a nice breeze throughout the home, but all bedrooms have air conditioning. The pool area has a large built-in 8 burner grill, lounge chairs, dining table for ten, as well as a fountain and swing chair.

Two lovely women, Erika & Carolina, enhance your stay by coming six days a week to do housekeeping and provide complimentary breakfast cook service {excluding Sundays, holidays, and check out day}. They are also available to prepare lunch or dinner for a nominal charge. We highly recommend this service, as they are as talented in the kitchen as they are pleasant. Our concierge can arrange most anything you'd like at the casa: airport transportation; massages, facials, and pedicures; excursions.

Casa Guacamole's location offers stunning views, as well as close proximity to great restaurants, night life, shopping and only 5 blocks to the beach/Malecón. We are on the hillside, but an inexpensive cab ride can get you to the house if walking the incline is not your thing.

Please send a message with any questions that you have about the property or services that interest you. Once booked, we will email information about car service options, our favorite local restaurants, concierge contact information, pre-stocking the casa, menu, etc. Please let us know if you would like that information in advance.

We look forward to helping make your vacation to Puerto Vallarta the trip of a lifetime. Please see our website with same name.

Experience the beauty of PV from Casa Guacamole

This is truly a stunning open air home. Each bedroom offers spectacular views of the ocean. The pool area was a great gathering place for the family during the day. The hit of the stay was definitely Erika & Carolina. They kept the place spotless and prepared better meals than anywhere else that we ate. We will be back.

Magnificent Villa overlooking Paradise!

There was so much that was perfect about our week, that I don't know where to start. First of all, the communication was excellent. Any question that I had was promptly answered. Sophie, my initial contact and Jorge, our concierge were available 24/7. We fell in love with Erika and Carolina, who prepared meals for us. They were at our beckon call to make sangria, or guacamole. It not only was delicious, but made with love. Bedrooms were perfect and comfortable. Each has a gorgeous view of Banderas Bay--there is no bad room. I can't imagine a Villa that rivals this one. We loved how the Villa is laid out and bedrooms were spread out enough to provide complete sleeping privacy. The pool was refreshing and clean. It is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Puerto Vallarta and we felt 100% safe. You are only a short stroll away from the Malecon, dining and shops, but if you didn't want to trek the hill, Uber's were quickly obtained. We are already discussing coming back next year. Muchos Gracias to the entire staff of Casa Guacamole--you have provided memories for the 8 of us that we will remember forever!

I thought the property was really great. There was plenty of room, and the views were amazing. The property manager, Alfredo, and the staff, Erika and Carolina were available at all times when we needed them. I would highly recommend this property for large groups who want a vacation inside a vacation.

It's Perfect!

We chose Casa Guacamole for a Saturday to Saturday stay to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday based on a strong recommendation and the property, host & amazing chef's still exceeded our high expectations, so it's my pleasure to give this stay 5+ Stars so that others may enjoy as we did! We had family stay for the first part of the week, then switched to host friends in the second half, it was perfect. Every room is truly amazing and has it all, easily enough room to sleep 2 in each room, amazing view, and a balcony plus great individual room A/C units that get as cold as you would like it. Staff was outstanding and that's an understatement - meals were EASY and BEST WE'VE had!! We asked for many recipes to attempt to recreate - Make sure to order Chillaquilles for one of your breakfasts!! Gladly answer any questions, we stayed in in October of 2024!

Fabulous and beautiful vacation spot!

If I could give this gorgeous property more stars, I would. The pictures don’t do it justice. I came with my 6 girlfriends to celebrate our birthdays and we loved every minute. The views from every room are breathtaking and the service from the staff was incredible. The owner was super responsive to every single (sometimes annoying) question asked. This was by far the best Vrbo experience I’ve ever had. We will be coming back!

Unforgettable

Our party of 10 can't speak highly enough about Casa Guacamole and everyone associated with the property. It is beautiful, tasteful, and authentic. The only caveat is the steepness of the cobblestone approach to the front door can be daunting for both drivers and pedestrians.

Amazing property!

We spent a week at Casa Guac and like all the other reviews have stated, this place does not disappoint! From the amazing views to the fabulous pool, we enjoyed every moment we spent at CG. I can't say enough good things about Erika and Carolina as well—they were super sweet and made our stay just that much more special. Andrea has done such an amazing job with the decor—there is something wonderful to look at no matter where you turn. The rooms were spacious, the beds were heavenly and every bathroom is completely amazing! It was a dream vacation and we hope to return soon!

Casa Guacamole ruined our plans! The house, decor, views and service made us never want to leave. We ended up staying in and enjoying the wonderful pool and patio more often than not. Our days started with Erika & Carolina serving delicious breakfasts with the most beautiful table settings and ended enjoying the gorgeous sunset & fireworks views from the multiple balconies.

Casa Guacamole won't disappoint

Within minutes of arriving everyone in our group said they would be coming back. That's the impression that Casa Guacamole makes on visitors. The house is charming and wonderfully decorated so that you feel like you are in Mexico. The rooms and outside spaces make it easy for people traveling in big groups to enjoy some privacy or quiet time alone. Erika and Carolina are friendly and helpful and wonderful cooks. Do have them make at least one dinner for you. The house does have a lot of stairs so something to consider if you are traveling with seniors or small children in our group. We'll be back!

Beautiful Property & Views

We stayed at Casa Guac 14 nights spanning Christmas and New Years. The home itself is stunning. It was sparkling clean & very comfortable. We were an extended family, with two people in their 80's. Be aware that the stairs are extensive at this property. We knew there were three stories, with bedrooms on the second and third levels, and planned on the grandparents being up just one level, which they can handle. But what we didn't know is that just to enter the front door you have to walk up a very steep incline, then go up a long staircase. That was quite difficult for the older folks. The views are absolutely spectacular, especially at New Years. We had a sweeping view of all the fireworks around the entire Bay! A drawback of being up on the hillside above PV is that sound reverberates upward all the way from the boardwalk way down below. There are tons of loud festivities (someone on a microphone all the time) during the xmas holiday season in the evenings, and at times it sounds like they are literally right on your patio - well into the night. There are also loud dogs that bark a lot. That was difficult for some of us. Overall, Casa Guac was absolutely lovely and I'd stay there again, but not with people that have mobility issues (or younger kids- so many stairs), and probably for a week or less. The location, right in centro, was awesome for us that could manage the walk. We loved getting to know PV's centro!

The Best Vacation Ever!!!

This property is breathtaking. It is so open and all 5 bedrooms have a balcony that overlook the ocean so there is no bad room. Each bedroom has it's own private bath. Only one bedroom has it's bathroom across the hall but not a bid deal. The service and meals that we received from Carolina and Ericka was 100% amazing. Anytime we go to PV, this will be our home of choice. The walk down the hill to the shops and restaurants was not bad. Everything is so close to this location. We did not rent a car but used Uber everywhere we went and it was so cheap and convenient. 9 of us were so comfortable and didn't even use one bedroom so I think a group of 10 would be perfect. Thank you Andrea for sending us so much information and completely preparing us for our stay. You are the best host ever!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Moran

We live in the midwest and travel to Puerto Vallarta as often as our schedules allow. We love the history and authentic nature of the town, and appreciate that it is not a planned resort community. After staying at resorts a number of times, we realized that we were always leaving the all-inclusive amenities to find local restaurants, and so we started staying "in town" instead. This "switch" enhanced our time in Puerto Vallarta tremendously.

Why they chose this property

Casa Guacamole boasts 5 bedrooms, all with tip to tip views of Banderas Bay. One can walk or take a short, inexpensive cab ride to all of the unique restaurants, shops and bars that Puerto Vallarta offers. It is a truly magical hacienda style home which are becoming quite rare in the downtown area. The beach and Malecón are 5 blocks down the hill. It is nestled in a residential part of downtown among homes owned both by locals and expats. The pool area is large and gets sun, but the outdoor dining area is shaded.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Casa Guacamole because of the amazing views, downtown location, and its authentic architecture. We appreciate the open-air floor plan and gracious use of space. It reminds us of an elegant tree house. The kitchen is open to the pool and has amazing views - what a great way to cook!
