About this property

Closest to the Beach

Located within the secure area of Nuevo Vallarta, this unit is as close to the beach as you can get. The condo overlooks Bahia Banderas, the best beach and the 2 spectacular infinity pools as well as the lap pool on the beach. This well maintained 2 floor unit with a Master Bedroom and Loft (open bedroom), can sleep up to 4. All guests can enjoy the complex, as well as the many other local attractions including sea doo rentals, parasailing, horseback riding, kayaks, and other water sports. Vallarta Adventures is located close by in Nuevo Vallarta and has many excursions including some of the best ziplining, rappelling, ATV tours, horseback riding, swimming with the dolphins, tours to Marietas island (hidden beach), dinner theatres (Rhythms of the Night), swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling as well as many other excursions.
There is a snack bar, near the pools, so you don't need to cook. Bucerias and Paradise Village (Nuevo Vallarta) are close by, for a great selection of shopping and restaurants when you venture out for an afternoon or evening.
Travel by bus, taxi, or Uber, they all arrive just outside the complex and can take you to Bucerias, Nuevo, Puerto Vallarta (Malecon), Punta de Mita and the wonderful surfing town of Sayulita (the town where Bachelor in Paradise is filmed) and San Pacho. There are so many wonderful places to visit and so many wonderful restaurants close by to dine in when you do not feel like cooking, we have many favorites to share!

Amazing location, beautiful big pool. The condo is cute , the second bed was not in a private room, so really only good for kids or family members not another couple. The kitchen sink tap could be updated it was loose and there was no hot water only luke warm. We never complained as we were only there a week. I am sure it could be fixed. Host was very responsive. I would rent again.

John was a terrific host who answered all our questions in a very timely manner. He has a nice home with terrific views of both the pools and ocean. The snack bar offers breakfast lunch and dinner so if you forgot something head on down to the bar. The bar also sells large bottled water for a dispenser which John has. The only negatives were it’s a long walk to get to the pool. Also the primary suite was upstairs which I didn’t realize. But he has a very comfortable bed which makes up for it. My last suggestion would be to purchase a more comfortable couch in which to watch tv. Overall we had a terrific time and yes I would recommend John as a host for future vacationers. Thank you for your hospitality. Deannie

About the host

Hosted by John A Chorlton (Jack)

Host profile image
We live in the Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia, Canada.
We enjoy what our local area has to offer, such as lake activities, wine tours, hiking, mountain biking, and camping, skiing, and more.

Why they chose this property

We are quite familiar with Nuevo Vallarta, and when this property came available, we bought it. The pools are great, and the beach is fantastic, and the condo is the closest to the beach and has an unobstructed view of the ocean and pools. We like the location, surrounded by condo buildings, and some 5-star resorts. Bucerias and Paradise Village are close by, as is the Mega and La Comer grocery stores, and a Starbucks.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location - Beach - Pools. Beautiful ocean view!
