Having your own sanctuary pool and delicious meals prepared to share in your own space was a luxury and allowed us more time to relax and enjoy our holiday. With the beach only a block away and a wonderful variety of restaurants within a short walk, this venue couldn’t be better. The pictures of the home are enticing, but even words cannot describe this blissful escape. Maria, our chef and hostess, was charming and cooked amazing meals for us. There is a large menu with a quite a wide selection. We chose more authentic Mexican cuisine. The five young adult travelers said this was their absolute favourite type of holiday. The venue booking agent, Shayne, was exceptional to work with and ensured all was in good order in advance, during and post vacation.

Wonderful House, Incredible Staff

Fun and beautiful house! 3 masters each with additional lofted twins. The location was perfect for us, walkable to everything, especially the beach! Affordable taxis right outside the door, or local buses and vans just up the hill. Karen and Maria are the best! The cooked all of our favorite Mexican dishes for breakfast or lunch.

Great house and Karen is amazing

The pool is great, especially for family with kids. They kept it clean and maintained it during our stay. Karen (the cook) does it all. She cooked great meals, cleaned and always made sure we were taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure my birthday was great. She organized a mariachi, ordered a cake and set up a piñata. Honestly the best birthday I’ve ever had. She also made sure the kids had food they liked and made them smoothies and juices and adult drinks for us. I wish I could take her home with us!

Wonderful!

We had the most wonderful time at this property. A few weeks before our visit, there were some challenges getting the property info (the attachments wouldn’t open when sent through the VRBO website), but then Shayne and I emailed each other directly and all the info came through fine. From that point on, the communication was excellent. Generally Shayne was very quick responding to questions and giving very clear info. The property was great and we enjoyed the warm pool so much that we didn’t go on many outings and we didn’t spend much time one block away at the beach. I would rate the house itself pretty close to a 5/5. Karen (our cook) was amazing- so friendly and helpful. She even arranged a mariachi duo for a surprise serenade during dinner on my wife’s birthday. My wife said it was her best birthday ever (and you can’t put a price tag on that!). One possible “con” to consider is that the ladders up to the lifts are very steep in 2 of the 3 rooms. For most people, this shouldn’t be a problem. But younger kids will need to be careful, especially sleepily climbing down in the dark at night to use the bathroom. The bedside lights in the room flip down in themselves and can serve as “nightlights” so this was helpful. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful family vacation

We had our family of four here, and it was a perfect getaway. Mary took great care of us with fresh and authentic meals each day. Even in the July heat, we were able to enjoy our stay because the pool was refreshing and the bedroom air conditioning kept us comfortable at night. The town of Bucerias is a gem.

Vacation of a lifetime!

Its hard to put into word how much we enjoyed our stay. We had family coming in from the East and West coast of the US. It was such a pleasure to meet Karen and Maria, they seemed like family from the very first. They met our every expectation. The food was wonderful and it spoiled me from not having to plan, shop, cook and clean after all the meals. Karen's surprise for us was a highlight of the whole trip. (I can't tell what it was as not to spoil it for others). The beach access was so convenient for the whole family and not crowded. We loved that our intersection was a hub for taxi's which made for easy transportation. Also short walking distances to stores, shops and other shopping.

A True Delight

We had an amazing time. The house set up was perfect for 3 couples. The location with its proximity to the beach and town were fantastic. It was very nice to be able to walk everywhere. The common living area and indoor outdoor living is great for a group. Having our own rooms with a/c to retreat to with comfortable beds kept our group refreshed. Karen and Maria and the addition of prepared meals is the best. We opted for breakfast and heavy snacks late afternoon. They honored all our dietary needs. Such a treat. It was my birthday and they got me a delicious cake. Also massage therapist came to the house for a one hour massage. I highly recommend. Communication with Shayne and Karen and Maria easy and responsive. Thank you for the perfect back drop to a birthday trip.

Wonderful stay in Casita Camino al Mar

The property was just as described in listing. We used the cooking services provided by Karen and it was amazing. She has a restaurant sized menu to choose meals from and she shops daily for fresh items to cook for your meals of choice. We loved everything she made us, food and drinks!! You pay for the grocery receipts and her taxi fares and then we gave her a nice tip at the end of the week. The pool is salt water and has no smell and it was a perfect temperature. There are several trees around that drop leaves and things, but the pool guys came by a couple of times during the week to clean it up. The main living area and bathrooms are open-air, so it was pretty warm during our July stay. However, there are a/c units for the bedrooms, so we slept comfortably. There were a few mosquitos that got after us in the evenings, so some bug deterrent is a good idea. We only went to the beach once because I prefer a pool, but it is close by. There is a larger hacienda next door that Karen told us has 7 beds & 7 baths, if you are in need of something even bigger. Karen also scheduled a massage for me at the casita for a very reasonable price. I had her come by twice!! Overall a very good trip other than the July heat....but it is Mexico!! It would probably be a really nice springtime location to avoid the heat/humidity, but we just stayed in the private pool to stay cool and we were fine.

Quaint beach getaway

I stayed at the property with my husband, three kids (7, 7, 10 years old) and one other family of 4. We had a wonderful time. The home was very cute and clean. The pool was clean and well maintained. The location was on the Main Street in the little town and a block from the beach. The food was outstanding, cooked by the lovely Karen. She was both cook and maid for our trip as she was the only staff member. She cooked everything we asked and was helpful throughout our stay. We had some amazing meals and all agreed her cooking was better than any of the food we ate out at the couple of restaurants we visited. She really made our trip extra special and would look forward to staying at the property and hopefully seeing Karen again in the future.

Wow! Just Wow!

What an amazing stay! The home is full of charm (that's a good thing). Karen and Mary were so kind and accommodating. It was such a luxury to have breakfast prepared every morning for us. And then to have snacks around 3pm after spending the day on the beach - which is only a block away! Shayne was so patient and kind with all our requests/questions, and she sent a very thorough pre trip info list that covered everything from the airport to dining ideas and shopping tips. We will definitely stay here again.

The house is amazing and close to many amenities. Karen and Maria made the trip amazing for our family. They provided everything we needed to make the trip a great experience. They are amazing chefs, but are also amazingly caring and do everything they can to make sure your stay is comfortable and care free. It was so nice to have food stocked and a meal and drinks ready as we arrived from a long day of traveling. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They made my wife’s birthday amazing and arranged a cake to be delivered along with musical entertainment. Thank you so much for a great time at the casita!

Unforgettable Trip

Even before we arrived, in communicating with Shayne about the home, we knew this was going to be a family vacation we would never forget. In previous trips to the Puerto Vallarta area, we have stayed at all inclusive, we will only stay at private homes from here on out. Upon arrival, being greeted by Karen at the front door and having a phenomenal lunch prepared while we settled in the house for our stay. The staff and food continued to exceed our expectations as the week went on. The location of a 5 minute walk to the beach, the shopping of Bucerias and the local sports bar Ozzies is perfect. We will certainly have this home in our hearts forever and will be back again in the near future. Thank you Shayne. Andy, Beth & Family.

Hospitality, Food and Fun in Bucerias

Maria (the cook) and Yolanda (cook and cleaner) made our stay at Casita Camino Al Mar amazing. Great hospitality and delicious food can be such a unique way to experience culture and make new friends. Maria and Yolanda are the best. Communication pre-trip with Shayne was great. We picked a few meals and had some help with activities. Checkin was easy - greeted with homemade chips, guacamole, and margaritas. The kids swam in the pool a lot. I gave 4 out of 5 stars for the cleanliness because the pool isn’t super clean and the towels were pretty old. We also took the beach chairs and umbrellas to the beach one block away. The kids were able to safely walk back and forth between the casita and the beach. Local bars and restaurants give you plenty of options. La Postal and La Negra are both great with or without kids. The casita is right in the main street in Bucerias. It can be noisy but we didn’t have any trouble sleeping. The beds and bedrooms are well-designed for kids in the lofts. House was a great size for two families of four. We had a delicious and big breakfast at the casita every morning, courtesy of Maria. Everything is scratch made - even the chips. Crepes, pancakes, huevos rancheros, chilequiles, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc. All delicious. We ate lunch or had an afternoon snack at the casita each day. We ate dinner twice at the casita. Again, Maira delivers. There is a rental shop down the street called Surf Mexico where we got some really nice bikes for the day and did surf lessons one day. They also have kite surfing, foil, e-foil, etc. The surf lessons were a highlight. We organized our own activities but Shayne and Miguel (the house man at the hacienda next door) would have helped also. The casita is a special place. I recommend it as an alternative to the typical beach resort. The experience, the culture, the town, and the food were all much richer than a hotel. And Maria and Yolanda give such great hospitality. Muchas gracias!

Casita de mis sueños

First of all, we must recognize and thank the wonderful staff: Ana, Mary and Shayne do a fantastic job. Ana's amazingly delicious cooking kept us happily fed at home. Mary helped and kept the place clean and comfortable. - always with a smile.The decor of the home is warm, rustic and makes you know you are in Mexico (unlike some sterile rentals). Shayne provided some info so I can recreate some of it in my home :) They are excellent staff. The home is great for families. Our kids (11,14,15) could be in the pool and we could see them easily. The air-conditioning is a delight after being out in the heat of July in Bucerías. I particularly enjoyed watching the iguanas on this visit, although they keep a respectful distance. We were lazy: pool, beach (1/2 block away), shopping and Netflix provided good R&R. We will be dreaming about the next time we can stay at the Casita. We stayed once in 2017 when only three days were available and had been looking forward to a return. This time we had a full, wonderful week. We feel very fortunate to have had this experience.

Amazing, comfortable place and Anna is great!!

We were a group of 8 people. The house was super nice, very comfortable and had all of the necessities. While it's located outside of PV, cabs were inexpensive. It's a very short walk to the beach and Karen's (which was our daily destination). Bucerias is a really cute town but we stayed in for most of our meals and had Anna cook for us. She is what really made the house special. We didn't have to think about planning a meal for a large group and her food was absolutely delicious. Our group rarely visits the same place more than once but we all agreed we would love to return to the house!!!
