The Carriage House is a beautifully decorated one bedroom, one bathroom apartment located on the property of the famous Villa Estrella Mar. Just minutes from the center of Old Town, Puerto Vallarta in a residential area, a minute to the beach down a long private stairway, the location is hard to beat.

The beautifully decorated apartment consists of a living room and fully equipped kitchen, a desk in case you need to get any work done during your stay, as well as the bedroom with a king size bed, and ensuite bathroom. There are is a terrace that looks out to the Villa and the Bay and a second enclosed terrace off the bedroom. The best part is, you aren't in a condo complex so you can have complete privacy.

We make sure to have a few cold drinks available on arrival to start your vacation off right.

A wonderful stay! We had ten days - the weather was hot but having AC and the ocean nearby made it all work out. We got in the ocean every day and while those stairs are no joke, it made taking a shower when we got back even more refreshing!

The Carriage House is a perfect respite for a couple with plenty of room. It was well appointed and although there were a couple items that we required, they were taken care of so very quickly. The daily maid service was an absolute treat, but we try to treat our rental as if it were our own home and tried to make as little work for maid service as we could.We were greeted courteously and cheerfully when we arrived and that cheerfulness was genuinely given by all the staff our whole stay.Having some welcome items in the fridge was a very kind touch and much appreciated.Thank you Jordan, and staff, so very much for a wonderful two weeks in November. We look forward to staying with you again.

Great stay!

We loved staying at the Carriage house. It had great access to the beaches, our favorite was walking along the water to Conchas Chinas beach and then stopping back at Amapas beach before heading up the stairs. It was also very relaxing to walk home on the beach after grabbing dinner in town and witnessing all the various festivities happening in PV.

Lovely private place close to everything

We enjoyed the setting. The house is private with great views, surrounded by beautiful vegetation. The staff are great. The free daily laundry service is wonderful! The only downside is the crazy amount of steps to/from the beach. You need to be in moderately good shape to navigate thateasily

The absolute BEST place to stay!!!

We love staying in this area! We’ve been 4 other times with: children, grandparents, and friends, but this is the first time that we have stayed in Amapas as a couple. There couldn’t be a better place than this. Incredibly close to every place you wanna be! Wonderful Mexican decor. Super quiet (it’s nice being on the downhill side of the highway). Also, very safe and affordable. They were very responsive, but also gave us our privacy. We will 100% stay here again. It was truly an amazing vacation, and it had a lot to do with.the lodging.

Excellent location

Beautiful small villa in a very walkable location. The daily cleaning and laundry service were very nice amenities. The only downside is the noise from the Villa next door and from the construction during the day that started early. Also the furniture is beautiful but just not comfortable for lounging or even having dinner in the Villa.

Lovely, peaceful stay near PV's highlights

The Carriage House was a lovely and very comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of town, yet close enough to easily walk along Playa de Los Muertes into the Romantic Zone for restaurants and sightseeing. We really enjoyed the small, relatively quiet beach at the foot of the private stairway. However, we didn't check out the waterfront walkway south of the beach until our last day; it's well worthwhile exploring as well. Staff were very friendly and always on hand as needed for questions and help. Laundry service was greatly appreciated! One caution: Be careful to keep any food/fruit in cupboards or the refrigerator. A saucy squirrel entered the suite several times during our stay and even helped itself to a banana and mango left on the counter! Thanks for the lovely stay, Jordan and Villa staff!

Relaxing

The pictures do not give this place justice. A little out of town which was what we wanted, but close enough. Easy walk to town. We had a nice time while relaxing. The staff very nice and helpful. Drank our coffee in the balcony very day and planned our daily activities. Daily walks to the beach to see the amazing sunsets. This place is a gem!!!!

Clean, comfortable, very nice. Paco and the entire staff were super nice. We felt safe and well served. Paco would arrange taxis for the short 5 min trip downtown. Easy to get a taxi back with Paco's business card. AC worked great and stayed surprisingly cool when we turned it off. Casa Ley Supermarket was open until 10 pm.

About the host

Hosted by Jordan MacPherson

Host profile image
Roger and Nancy MacPherson along with their daughter Jordan MacPherson have worked to make this vacation destination an unparalleled experience. Together they have owned properties in Puerto Vallarta for over 30 years now and have always loved the friendly family culture and inviting environment. Villa Estrella Mar in Puerto Vallarta was built with the idea of having an authentic rustic Mexican architectural experience. The Carriage House is a lovely addition to Villa Estrella Mar, but we happily rent it out separately. Jordan handles all of the rentals for the property.

Why they chose this property

The Romantic zone in Puerto Vallarta is a true treasure of Mexico, nestled below the plush jungle hillsides with its cobblestone roads and beautiful homes with phenomenal views. As the city has grown it has maintained its friendly personality and rustic feel, you will see families strolling hand in hand down the Malecon and will always feel safe. Whether you are looking for an escape for the stresses of your every day life or a trip full of adventure, Puerto Vallarta will not disappoint.
