Dream Vacation

We just came back from our wonderful stay at Casa de las Abuelas and words are not enough. From the moment Juan picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off a week later we were pampered. If we thought it Juan and Baly were right there to make it happen. And Baly's cooking will make you never want to leave. 5 Stars are not enough to say what a wonderful time we had.

Pampered in Paradise

This lovely house was one of the first built in the area several decades ago and fortunately has not changed (other than a few modern updates). It is incredibly private and feels authentically Mexican in its colorful decor and folk art. Juan was attentive and took care of any questions or needs. Baly provided beautifully prepared fresh meals everyday. We used the vehicle twice for excursions but always felt ready to leave the crowds and return to this peaceful paradise. Margaritas and sunsets - the best!

Great Place

We just returned from our fourth trip to Casa Abuelos. The house is very pleasant and the location is perhaps the best in burros The owner is great to work with and Gilberto and Rosa are wonderful. This is a great trip for families as you have everything you need right there - house, pool, beach, hammocks under the palapa. Punta Mita, Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta are all close enough to visit for a day trip and then you can return to the peace and quiet of Abuelos and ask yourself why you ever left. If you are looking for a fun and friendly house on beautiful stretch of beach where you are taken care of by a very nice local family then this is it.

Best vacation home

As our time at Casa de Las Abuelas is coming to an end, I want to let you know about our experience. We loved this Casa. The garden, the views, the sound of the ocean waves, everything was beautiful! Juan, Baly, Kobe, and Luisa are great people. They made us feel very welcomed. Their attention to detail was great. The food was superb. It was a pleasure meeting them. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Casa de Las Abuelas. Thank you so much for sharing your home. It is a paradise. Thank you,

Incredible and perfect vacation house

We just returned home from Casa De Las Abuleas and had the one of the best vacations! We were 3 families with kiddos ages 3-7. The pool was perfect for the kids. The ocean was great for the adults- you can surf just a short walk down the beach. The community is very safe since it has full time security guards. The staff at the casa are wonderful and make your stay very relaxed. The food is amazing- it was a treat to have food prepped and dishes done for you! You will be expected to tip the staff so make sure you inquire about this extra cost. But I will say it was well worth it to us.

Casa de Abuelas is paradise!

Paradise with our own chef and concierge. Pick up from the airport was a plus along with a week of exceptional service from Juan. If we said “do you have or can we get” Juan always made it happen. Authentic Mexican meals prepared by Baly for breakfast and dinner were fabulous. Juan prepared fresh lobster and steak on our last night that topped off a great week. Whale watching right out in front of the house every morning and evening. If you don’t like the sound of crashing waves, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, private beach with evening bonfires and afternoons swinging in a hammock this villa is not for you!

PURE PARADISE

A group of 8 friends all over 55 except one young girl (32)We booked our first stay the year before COVID had other plans for the world.We rebooked and just got home at 4am but man what a place.If you read all the interviews everyone is correct(you only need a bathing suit)Juan,Bailey & Kobe are excellent.If your looking for paradise this is probably as close as you will get.They cook breakfast & Dinner and clean up.Everyday your room gets made up and cleaned but you rarely see the cleaning lady.The whole place is amazing.Juan will set up anything you want or need(Golfing for the guys,in house full 90 minutes deep tissue massages,fishing for Mahi-Mahi and then have them prepared for you dinner that night.It was absolutely amazing 💯If you can’t decide where to vacation just BOOK IT you won’t be disappointed

AMAZING!!! Get away...

What can I say here other than... If you are visiting Mexico this is the place to stay... We have been visiting Mexico for over 10 years and have stayed in resorts, time shares and also own a Condo in Nuevo Vallarta, MX and this hidden gem has topped over 10 years of vacations! You want a get away with out being drown in crowds of people, want your own beach, your own pool, your own space this house has it all! To top it off there is a nice vehicle available and you have a chef that makes authentic better then local food and Juan takes care of what ever else you need. Juan will bring you drinks, serve you your meals. This house has it all, I could go on and on... This is a great place to stay, the owners have done very well at pleasing their guests, which is hard to do, as I also own a VRBO property and I wish I could offer and do what the owners of this property have done! We will defiantly be back! Sincerely, The Beier Family

Wonderful!

We took mom to Casa de Abuelas for her 80th bd gift (8 family from 30 - 80). The property is as pictured, lovely and relaxing. The pool is perfect. It, the patio, and the hammocks got a lot of use! Easy to get American sports on the TV. Beach was nice, surf was strong from overnight storms. Weather was just about perfect. Had a tiny bit of apprehension being the first time doing a VRBO with a cook/staff, for naught. Juan, Baly, and Kobe were great! Arrival night the meal was preplanned, pre-ordered groceries & beverages were all stocked. Monday morning we planned out the rest of the weeks meals with Juan. The food was fresh and fabulous! Didn't know how much i needed banana pancakes in my life, so fluffy and yummy. (For those that care to shop, there's a huge grocery/liquor/home goods store near the airport - La Comer - bakery section is huge - highly recommend the churros.) The day trip with AlleyCat came recommended by Kathy, and for good reason. Had a great time!! Wonderful time had by all.

Best Vacation Ever!

We have just returned from the best family vacation ever! Casa de las Abuelas, along with Juan, Baly, Kobe and Luisa, has spoiled us from ever staying at another resort or hotel. The house is well laid out with four, large en-suite bedrooms spaced well apart for privacy and each with its own balcony or patio. The beds and bedding were divine and the entire house was kept spotless daily. The pool, beach, palapa, and landscaping make you feel like you’re in paradise with plenty of outdoor seating areas and a virtually private beach. The neighborhood is very exclusive and secure with controlled access and attentive beach patrol. While there is new construction going on in the area, we were never bothered by any noise or traffic. The house is perfectly placed between PVR and Sayulita and the Suburban makes it easy to get around (don’t miss the Alley Cat!). But the real magic of Casa de las Abuelas is feeling like you are a welcome guest in Kathy’s home! Juan goes out of his way to ensure your every need is met, Baly’s meals will spoil you from ever wanting to go to a restaurant again, and Kathy quickly respond to any questions you may have. My only regret is staying for one week instead of two!

Friends Reunion

We were a group of 10 women looking for a place to reunite where we wouldn’t have to cook or clean. Kathy’s home offered that and so much more. You enter into beautiful gardens with a view that knocks your socks off. There are several areas outside to gather and that is where all of your time is spent. Bedrooms are good sized (the master being extremely generous) and all have direct access to the outside. Now for the really good stuff! Bali, the chef, is unbelievable. The food is ridiculously good and you get to pick your own menu. With a group as large as ours, we chose to have our dinners at home and after the first night, no one wanted to go out. Juan, the manager/gardener, was available for any questions, concerns or needs. Another huge plus was having the suburban for when a group wanted to go out. The home is a little bit difficult to find the first time, but you can go over to the W and get an Uber or taxi for anywhere you want to go. Uber is really reasonable! The beach was was a little rough from all of the driftwood that came in and because the waves can be pretty intense, is not suitable for small children. The pool was kept warm which would work for younger kids with floaties. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and all of the other 9 women agree!

Best vacation home ever

Kathy's house may be my absolute favorite spot ever and we travel a lot . As soon as we arrived Juan greeted us and gave us the tour. Fresh guacamole and the best margaritas came next. Chicken & steak tacos were planned out for the first night as well.The house is even more beautiful than the photos. There are 2 bedrooms that have a separate entrance from the main house and the other 2 bedrooms connect the kitchen and living room area. The beach was beautiful and swimmable. Lots of beautiful shells were found each day and little hermit crabs everywhere. The pool was a great addition as well. We chose to eat all breakfasts and dinners but 1 during our stay and that was definitely the best decision. Everything was amazing. We had shrimp tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, Birria tacos, hamburgers/chicken sandwiches & the best pizza ever. Breakfast was divine everyday as well. Juan sat down with us after arrival and gave us many options to choose from. Baly and Colby were in the kitchen and just the sweetest. Luisa kept our rooms tidy and I must say that as a mom who does this daily, it was nice to be spoiled. There is a Suburban to drive and the area is very safe. We are from a small town and had no trouble navigating and driving the area. We went all the way to San Pancho one day per Juans advice. This was definitely a relaxing and memorable trip. Kathy is the sweetest and Juan, Baly, Colby & Luisa are the absolute best. We can not wait to plan our next trip here.

Best Vacation Ever!

I can't say enough about this rental! It was THE BEST vacation ever! The beach is beautiful, the house is comfortable and very accommodating, the location is safe and close to Punta Mita and Sayulita. All that being said...the FOOD! Balay and Colby are wonderful cooks. Every meal we ate was absolutely delicious! My favorite was the shrimp, huevos rancheros and the tres leche dessert! Actually all the food was my favorite! And then there's Juan. Juan is hospitable, informative, accommodating and just an all around awesome guy. We had four adults, 2 teens and 1 child and the rooms were perfect. We spent our days in the wonderful pool and on the beach. One of our last days, the most amazing thing happened, we were out taking pictures of the beautiful sunset when we were called over by a few locals to help release baby turtles to the ocean!! Once in a lifetime memory! Overall, we had the best time and appreciate the staff at Casa De las Abuleas, for making our vacation truly relaxing, comfortable and amazing!

BEST TRIP EVER

To simply put how I feel about this house, would be to tell you that it is incredible in every way. The experience that we shared for seven days, was an unforgettable trip. Every meal prepared by Juan and Baly was exceptional. We had breakfast and dinner at the house every day except Sunday. they are the kindest people! My kids loved the pool and finding hermit crabs on the beach. I loved being on the hammocks, especially at sunset, it was amazing! We hope to return again to this house! Kathy was such a great communicator and answered every question before we came. We are home from seven days at Casa De Las Abuelas and feeling so recharged and relaxed. Highly reccommend this house!

About the host

Host profile image
I am a 75 year old grandmother, who is soon to be a great grandmother. I have been coming to Mexico for 50 years. I love Mexico. I grew up in Lubbock, TX and have been in Odessa, Texas for all of my married life. I am a big Texas Tech fan.

Why they chose this property

I was one of the original owners in Punta del Burro. When you see the area, you will know why I fell in love with it. I bought it when there was hardly anything there. Now we have cobbled stone roads, underground utilities and 24 hour security. We have all the bells and whistles.
