4bdrm Villa w/Staff & Ocean View

BradRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Fantastic location and incredible staff. Carmen and Fidel were just amazing. Carmen’s food was absolutely delicious - better than restaurants we ate out at. Fidel’s graciousness and assistance with setting up excursions, transportation and beyond was just wonderful. And the location was an easy walk to all Zona Romantica (lots of stairs to manage to town but an easy 3-5 minute Uber if you wanna make the drive). Margaret’s communication (owner) was great as well. We would stay here again in an instant. A lovely gem of a place.

Puerta Vallarta on beach, 1Brm Deeply Discounted!

IvanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place is excellent, the location is good and the apartment was in excellent condition. Super recommended, no problem all 10!. If you're looking for a place to be quiet, being able to get out and about but also spend the day in the pool or beach, it's the ideal place to stay.

Luxury Beachfront Condo 1Bd-1Ba fast wifi

TinaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
I highly recommend staying here. The building location is excellent, the unit location in the complex is perfect, great views & interesting things to watch from the balcony. Saul, Sherri & team were very communicative. This was the cleanest place I've stayed. At others I've had to wash dishes before using, and not great clean - NOT HERE - 'this' was IMMACULATE. Also, many small details were thought of - including an extension cord so I could work from the seat on the patio I wanted to, to snap-lid containers for food, to a hook and carabiner on the wall to hang bracletes up at night, to paper towel and toilet paper and laundry detergent and soaps, boogie board, chairs & umbrella and so much more. Other details like matching hangers - silly to mention, but shows the thought put into things. There is not a single recommendation I can make to them to improve - they thought of things I didn't know I needed! Best of all - both my husband & I found the bed to be most comfortable. Stay here!

Breathtaking Sayan Oceanfront Condo - Sleeps 6!

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Kevin’s place was wonderful - as described. Matched the photos exactly. The place was spacious, very clean. Comfortable. Coco - his property manager reached prior to our arrival with very easy and clear instructions on what to do when arriving. The building - Sayan Beach Condominiums was excellent. Beautiful amenities, modern, clean. Two very large pools, and two restaurants on site (reasonably priced). The pools are gorgeous (photos don’t do them justice). The staff running the building were so friendly and very attentive and professional. Concierge was able to arrange groceries to be delivered and booked us a boat cruise for one of our days while there. The location of the building is excellent. Easy beach access (right out the back door of the building off the lower pool) and a 5-10 minute walk to the Romantic Zone - super easy for going out for dinner/drinks in town. Would 100% recommend Kevin’s place and am looking forward to coming back and staying again! Thanks Kevin and Coco!

Beachfront 🏖 2 bedroom 180° view!!

AliciaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I just love this place, it is so beautiful and welcoming. Jessica and Jeremy have been very helpful answering questions and helping out with details I never even thought of. They have put a lot of thought into resources and recommendations which adds to the ease of vacationing, especially with children. The pool has a beautiful view of the ocean and feels like you are in a tropical jungle. It’s perfect for kids and for cooling off after relaxing on the pool deck. The kids love looking for the iguana who lives in the rocks by the beach! Costa Sur is convenient and the beach feels almost private. It’s easy to get a cab from Costa Sur into town. This place is an absolute gem. Thank you for accommodating us.

STYLISH & SAFE CONDO IN ROMANTIC ZONE

JonathanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Devon and John’s condo unit in Puerto Vallarta makes for a wonderful stay. The place is lovely. The beautiful decor, luxurious towels, quality toiletries, all make it feel like staying at a 5 star hotel. The location is perfect, near all the things you want to do and nightlife (5 min walk or less to most places), but tucked just enough away where noise is not an issue. Also the unit cools quickly with AC after a long hot day! But, most of all, Devon, our main host for our stay is an absolute gem. Very communicative, ensures all is well, great recommendations, not sure what he does or did in a past life, but he knows hospitality! Our trip was fun, easy and so very special thanks to Devon, John and their team. Shout out to Manuel who is great and took good care of us, and all the Oceana staff! Don’t look any further, if available, this is the place to stay!

PRIVATE HOUSE DIRECTLY ON BEACH

AliciaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever rented. The private pool overlooking the beach was just perfection. Rosie was incredibly responsive and supportive. There were a couple random issues that she helped us with immediately. She is friendly and easy to talk to, which I love! The bedrooms and bathrooms are also gorgeous. The kitchen was already stocked with bottles of water in the fridge, coffee in the pantry and snacks! Every room has AC control (that only works if the doors are shut to save energy; there’s sensors on the doors to alert you if they need to be closed for the AC - brilliant. The management/owners thought of everything!

Your guide to Puerto Vallarta

Welcome to Puerto Vallarta

From sleepy fishing village to one of Mexico’s top resort destinations, Puerto Vallarta is a place of many moods. Located on the Pacific coast of Jalisco, the city and nearby towns are oriented around the Bay of Banderas, where migrating whales and dolphins play. Newer communities wrap around the bay’s north end, toward Nuevo Vallarta and Punta Mita, where gated enclaves attract celebrities with sprawling golf courses and increasingly luxurious amenities. The laid-back beach towns to the north draw surfers and RVers, while the older part of Puerto Vallarta proper is home to American and Canadian snowbirds and retirees, many of whom eventually make their vacations permanent.

Restaurants, markets, art galleries, and taco stands line the cobblestone streets, and open-air beachfront palapas house dozens of restaurants where you can dine with your toes in the sand. While strolling past the iconic cathedral and down the seaside malecon (a pedestrian promenade studded with palm trees and contemporary sculptures), it’s easy to see what made the Hollywood set fall so in love with the place in the 1960s.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Puerto Vallarta

The weather is best in Vallarta from November to April — that’s when most of the town’s part-time residents arrive, escaping their frigid northern homes for the winter. It also happens to coincide with whale-watching season, which runs roughly from December to March. Tourism is especially high around Christmas and Easter. The annual Virgin of Guadalupe pilgrimage, which takes place over the first 12 days in December, is one of the year’s most anticipated events, complete with parade floats, festive costumes, and a night market where vendors sell tamales, pies, and crafts. The weather turns hot and muggy around May, and by July the summer rains come steadily, keeping crowds at bay until around October. Temperature-wise, the Pacific Ocean is swimmable all year round, but it’s wise to stay out of the water for a few days after a heavy storm.


Top things to do in Puerto Vallarta

Wednesday Night ArtWalk

Every Wednesday evening during high season (late October to late May), Puerto Vallarta’s downtown galleries host a kind of communal open house, keeping their doors open late as art lovers mill about drinking wine and checking out the latest exhibitions from the region’s renowned contemporary painters, sculptors, and photographers. Notable stops include Galería Uno, the city’s oldest gallery, and Galería Pacifico.

San Sebastián del Oeste

Founded in 1605, this silver-mining town in the Sierra Madre mountains offers a glimpse at what colonial life was like in Jalisco, and makes a great day-trip from the city (it’s about a 90-minute scenic drive from downtown). Visit its historic churches and haciendas, and for those interested in spirits, check out the regional drink raicilla — a type of piney mezcal distilled from cooked agave.

Sayulita and San Pancho

Colorful papel picado flutters above the cobblestone streets of the picture-postcard pueblo mágico (magical town) of Sayulita, in the state of Nayarit, about a 45-minute drive from the airport. Shop for jewelry and crafts in the pastel-colored boutiques, take a surf lesson, or join a yoga retreat. Up the road in San Pancho, you’ll find laid-back village vibes and art made by the local Huichol community.
