We have owned in Punta Mita for fifteen years now. We continue to own property at the Four Seasons Residence Club (VRBO Listing #393019), an El Encanto four bedroom condo Casa Alegre our beautiful four bedroom home.
I retired a few years ago and thanks to VRBO have become, unwittingly, a part time vacation rental agent! In addition to our Punta Mita property we also own a residence in Kiawah Island, SC that we now rent when not there ourselves. Fortunately, we have great property managers in each location who do all the heavy lifting when it comes to taking great care of our guests (and us) while in residence.
Our whole family (three daughters pictured above) love Punta Mita and try and get down as often as possible. We used to go to Maui, Hawaii every year then we discovered Punta Mita and have not been back to Hawaii since. For us, Punta Mita is friendlier, less expensive, more welcoming and more beautiful than Hawaii. And, as we live in the Chicago area, it is only a four hour non-stop flight away that is in the same time zone. The five time zone difference and red-eye flight back from Hawaii increasingly held little appeal to us. Barb and I spend about ten weeks a year in Punta Mita while our daughters get there, on average, for about seven days. Typically, this is for Thanksgiving week where we have now mastered the art of preparing Thanksgiving dinner even to the point of knowing where to buy cranberries...no small feat in Mexico!
We love Punta Mita. I am an avid golfer, tennis player and margarita enjoyer and there is plenty of each to keep me busy whenever there. We have made great new friends of fellow homeowners in Punta Mita and look forward each year to seeing them when everyone is in residence during the winter months. If we could pick only one vacation destination in which to own, it would be Punta Mita. And, it would be Casa Alegre.
