About this property

Gorgeous Private Home- Pool-Near Beach

This is our private vacation home that we built for the use of ourselves, our children and grandchildren. The layout is ideally suited for 2 adult couples with full kitchen amenities even including a dishwasher. The bedrooms and baths are oversized with unique Mexican styling using handmade Talevera tile in the lower bath and a lighted translucent onyx countertop in the upstairs bath.

Lots of outdoor living space on the patio/pool level, the master bedroom balcony and the roof terrace almost double the 1500 square feet of living space to over 2500 square feet of paradise. Lots of small gardens surround the house and entry with local plants like banana trees and heliconias adding to the privacy and unique beauty of 'Casa de Las Palmas Morada' (House of the Purple Palms)

The property is very secure with private gated entrance and weekly maid, gardener, and pool maintenance as well as local property manager to assure your perfect vacation!

We sincerely hope you will enjoy our home as much as we have!

This place is not just a house, it’s a home. The two bedroom layout was perfect for privacy, both with roomy bathrooms. The pool area had direct sun until around 4:00pm then it was time to move the cocktails to the second level deck where we would spend every evening. Close to a grocery store, bars and restaurants, we never felt anything was too far to walk. The walk up the hill from the ocean will burn a few calories which we all needed. The property manager and owner were always helpful and very communicative. Stayed for 15 days. 2026.

Excellent. As good or better than as advertised. Spacious, clean, well equiped, comfortable beds, good air conditioning, pleasant yard setting and nice pool. Owner and manager very helpful and accommodating. A review mentioned a steep incline to the beach. There is a steep incline of about a half a block on way to beach. I am 73 and on long walks I use a cane. I was able to manage simply by taking it slow. However if you have mobility issues the alternative, a good one, is to take a cab ride (short and cheap) to the main beach. Just pick up the house phone, dial the number provided and a cab is there in a few minutes. Location is excellent. Walking distance to nice restaurants and short cab rides anywhere.

Beautiful Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 nights in this lovely property in heart of Bucerius. Home is very well equipped especially for 2 couples with the 2 separate master bedrooms & bathrooms. Has Mexican charm with all the North American amenities. Wonderful to have private pool & the property manager Silvia was great. Location is walkable to all restaurants & grocery store- definitely recommend and hope we have opportunity to stay again. Many thanks!

Hilltop paradise

Nice hacienda type property, the 2 separate bedrooms make is great setup for 2 couples or family. great towels were provided Love the privacy of the pool, tho not heated it was a refreshing dip! We would’ve like having a bbq as well there was no TV… should have one even for streaming…it is on a hill and those that find walking difficult I wouldn’t recommend We love it and would tell our friends

Loved everything about it

Impeccably clean, beautifully decorated with Mexican character, plenty of amenities. Owner and caretaker warm and accommodating. The only note is that while only 3 blocks from the beach and two blocks from Main Street, there's a steep cobblestone hill so bring good walking shoes. Our favorite restaurants were El Negra and La Lomita. Both are authentic Mexican and very close to the house. Perfect place to stay and well priced for what it offers.

Lovely

What a gem this sweet home is! Nestled into the quaint town of Bucerias, Virginia’s home made our stay feel like we really did get a real glimpse of Mexico! Well stocked kitchen and all items needed for an easy 5 min walk to beach. Close to grocery store and bus stops (we so appreciated the recommendations in the visitor book—spent an afternoon in La Cruz). Owner and manager responsive and kind. Loved it so much we hope to be back soon! Thank-you!

Excellent repeat visit

We stayed in this house in 2017, and loved it so much we returned for 10 days over the 2024/2025 New Year. The house is beautiful and well appointed. It is perfect for 2 couples or, as in our case, 2 couples and 2 small children (who slept on an air mattress in their parents' room). Location is a a few blocks up the hill from the beach. However, except for those with mobility issues, the hill is more of a psychological barrier than a physical one. It's about a 7 minute walk downhill to the beach, and maybe a 10 minute walk uphill back home. And there's the cool plunge pool to jump into if you're hot from the walk up the hill.Highly recommended!

ENJOYABLE VACATION

The house is a home with very nice Mexican charm. The selected art work on the walls adds more color and fun to the rooms. When first viewing the pool in the yard, one may think how tiny it is. When experiencing using the pool , it was inviting and enjoyable and was more than adequate. The pool is surrounded by tropical plants that are looked after by the grounds keeper that is very punctual on attending with his maintenance. There is also a lovely Palapa with table and comfortable chairs. With the tropical sun we lived under this structure. If we return to Bucerias , we would rent here again.

Beautiful Mexican Spanish Style Home in a nice area.

My wife Karen and I as well as two friends stayed at this beautiful Mexican style home in Bucerias from March 1st through 15th, 2016. It is a wonderful home suited perfectly for two adult couples. Karen and I stayed in the upstairs master bedroom and it was wonderful, WiFi worked very well, the home, decorations, art work, all amenities were perfect, more than we expected. The pool and garden was most appreciated by my wife, she spent most of her time in the pool or on the patio. The painted purple palms at the entrance and around the pool were beautiful, very calming and a nice touch. We probably had dinner at the local restaurants more than we cooked at home but kitchen facilities were more then we needed. It was very nice to see how secure the property was, a gated entrance and very secure windows throughout. All the staff members were very helpful and made it easy for us to enjoy our vacation. The property was clean and well maintained. Thank you very much Victoria and Will for sharing your home with us!

A perfect getaway

This home is perfect for a family or two couples. We will definitely be back. It's located in the Bucerias golden zone, which is exactly where you want to stay in Bucerias. We love the Bucerias beaches -- beautiful and sandy -- and this home is less than a five minute walk to the beach. It's also an easy walk to the town square, restaurants and the market. The privacy is great, the home is very nice, and Bucerias is a great place to vacation. We have been in Bucerias before, and will definitely rent this property when we go back!

Nice property - could be exceptional

Very nice clean home. The reason there are so many cons is what makes this property nice vs exceptional. A few little tweaks and this property could be well….exceptional. Pros: - Location was in a nice neighbourhood - Very clean and well maintained home - Easy walk to the beach, however the hill was killer coming back up for those with mobility issues - Many restaurants and stores within walking distance, we really enjoyed the local fish market and groceries, much better priced than the chains Cons: - No safe - No water upon arrival - Pool was freezing cold - No welcome binder with information on local taxis, the information provided on one of the many signs was invalid. No information of restaurants, grocery or anything available near property - Beds were horrible, had to purchase memory foam to make them bearable - Pillows, need more and the spares were stained so would not even use - Internet needs upgraded package - this was a partial working vacation so it was very frustrating, especially given it is 2022 - No TV, we personally did not miss this too much but if you have no devices or children it could be an issue - Smell coming from the laundry room was vile, made more than one of us gag - Dishwasher did not work, didn’t really want to do dishes for the duration of our 2 week stay - More than 2 lounge chairs would be a bonus

Great area, close to beach and shops.

We had a lovely stay here. The home was immaculate and the sheets and towels were fresh and new. That's important to me. I got the impression that this home has not had guests for some time. The property managers, Cindy and Robert, were new and were responsive and helpful. They had spent time checking out the air conditioning unit, which we did not use, however they didn't catch that the dishwasher was not working but when we told them they got someone in right away but parts were not available. The plunge pool was a really nice feature, but my favourite part of this home was the two showers. They were huge and beautiful. The home is situated on a quiet street that is walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and a grocery store. You are mostly surrounded by older, expats. The beach is clean and sandy and very walkable.

This property is an absolute gem! With the two master suites and bathrooms, it worked perfectly for two couples. The house is filled with lovely artwork and so many thoughtful touches. The kitchen is well equipped for making at home meals, but there are also excellent restaurants within walking distance. The small garden and pool area is gorgeous.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Mattox, Owner

Host profile image
In early 2005 we bought a bare lot on the beach side of Bucerias and spent the next 2 years building our dream vacation home. We did not build a typical spartan rental property but instead built for ourselves and later decided to rent it some each year to help pay the maintenance costs and upkeep. We still spend part of every winter there and are able to maintain the high quality.

Why they chose this property

Having traveled throughout Mexico since the late 1970s we knew that we wanted to be near the beach and near major airports, etc for easy access. We were lucky enough to find what has turned out to be the ideal property for us.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

What makes this property unique
