Apart from having the option of a beach day, there are several options for how you can spend the day, because of this property’s prime location which is why it’s a guest favorite.

One of the best parts of being directly in downtown Puerto Vallarta is having only a few steps to Malecón. A popular destination to visit in town, where you can find lots of daytime family activities, nighttime action, plenty of places to eat and great sightseeing. You’ll even get to experience sightseeing right from your room, as dolphins can be seen all year long. Prime whale watching season is Dec-Mar and of course, this is something kids really love.

If you’re a golfer, you’ll be happy to learn of many popular courses nearby. The well-known Flamingos Golf Club and the lengthy El Tigre Golf Club located in Nuevo Vallarta. This location also has the fun and challenging Mayan Palace Golf Club course.

Essentially, we offer the benefits, security and exceptional service of a resort yet in a privately owned vacation rental.

We also host couples and small families, so you’ll feel at ease no matter what the purpose. As one of our guests puts it “There are only 8 units here so you can easily meet other guests if you choose. Or enjoy your solitude. I enjoy meeting up with other repeat clients every season. The staff are terrific, you couldn’t do better. They have your best interests and security at heart. I feel very secure here.” - Becky B.

We loved the sound of the waves, even when the windows were closed it was like sitting right on the beach. Sharing the events of the day with other guests made it even more special.

Getaway from the Northeast/US

Good location for access to restaurants, groceries, etc. Owner and manager very helpful in attending to a few issues that came up, and felt completely safe. Only disappointment was that the beach front was too rocky to enjoy the swimming, and it seemed like the beach was a huge dog park, most unleashed, especially early in the morning. Unit was well equipped and comfortable, although there is a fair amount of night time noise on the street side. Two couples in our 70's, did have a great time.

Awesome and the best location but…

This is a great place and an even greater location. Lots of option in PV so we’ll try another place next time. Only thing I didn’t like was the bed linens were very cheap and very old. Not at all what you should get for 600 a night. I have a vrbo and I’d never ask a guest to sleep like that. So, bring your own linens and have a blast. And owner, please train your housekeeper to clean glass and don’t ask us to squeegee it! Nuts for the price.

Additionally, we’ve re-evaluated our housekeeping protocols and have instructed our team to handle all glass cleaning tasks, so guests are not asked to perform these duties.

Chirstmas Vacation

We stayed in this property over the Christmas Holiday and had a great time. Because of flight issues we ended up arriving a day late, so we ended up arriving on Sunday and Rosa was there to meet us even though it was her day off. Paulette the Property Host was responsive to any of our requests and was always available when we texted or called her. The location of this property is perfect. Right on the beach in the middle of the Centro Zone. You can walk everywhere. Romanitca Zone is a mile to the south. The Marina is 3 miles to the north. Tons of restaurants and shops all around. The grocery store is right around the corner. Its a good spot. We had 6 adults and it was a bit small for all of us. I feel this property is ideal for 4 adults. It had the essentials needed but lacked a few things like hairdryers, ice chest to take down to beach. Enjoyed our time here.

Perfect location for exploring PV and enjoying the beach

Location is excellent, direct access to the beach and a short walk to the Malecon. Lots of good eating possibilities nearby, plus a grocery store. Waves are a constant noise which took a little getting used to, and sometimes there are parties on the beach, but only once did it disturb our sleep. It was nice not to be right in the main tourist area, and we enjoyed watching all the dogs and their owners having a wonderful time on the beach. Apartment is well equipped with a washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven, blender, toaster, etc.. A few things could make it perfect - sharpen the cutting knifes, replace some of the seat cushions on the dining room chairs, one of pool towels is badly frayed, pillows in small bedroom need replacing, no drain plug or cold water in sink in main bathroom, and door to balcony from main bedroom doesn’t open. But a couple of other minor issues were fixed when we reported them. Martha and the maintenance man, night watchman and maid were all excellent to deal with and made us feel welcome. Pool is great too!

❤️Thank You Susan for taking the time to leave us a review. Most people don't bother to leave reviews about positive experiences un-incentivized, and that's what makes you the star. We did speak with housekeeping and our maintenance team to review the items pointed out in your review and had them addressed immediately. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us AND definitely excited to see you again next time💯.... ~/Paulette

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Location

No what I had expected

The furniture of this condo was terrible. All the beds were hard as rock. The sofa only held 2 people, there was no comfortable spot to lounge. Non of the outside patio doors locked. The owner did try to have them fixed but they to be replaced. We felt very in safe. The closets rods need to be secured as you move your clothes over and it all comes falling down. The blinds fell when closing them. The area in which this condo is located is not mean for the elderly, as the sidewalks are very in even I believe this place could be better with a lot of TLC . Do not recommend this place

We're extremely sorry that you had to face such difficulties, problems in customer service is not something we are known for. As you can see from our other reviews, we pride ourselves in providing great customer service to all of our guests. As far as the bedding, all of our mattresses are Sealy Posturepedic "Hotel Grade" and to do our best and accommodate all sleeping types we opt for 'medium" firmness which in general we have never received any comments about. And the same would apply for all the other furniture in the condo, our goal is to stay in the 'middle" with firmness on everything as it keeps 99% of our guests comfortable. We were very happy that we were able to exchange messages and even though our condo is on the 3rd floor we still had Jorge with our maintenance come to the unit that afternoon to address the lock on sliding doors, the closet and replace the broken part for the curtains. As we messaged about, Puerto Vallarta is the safest place for international tourists visiting Mexico. In fact, it's regularly featured as one of the Friendliest cities in the World by Travel + Leisure magazine (2022). It's a beautiful but old city and many roads still have cobblestone streets so to all our future guests please keep that in mind when you are making a decision to come to this amazing place. We look forward to hearing from you and earning back your business. Respectfully, ~/ Paulette
