Find Places to Stay in Chimo on Airbnb

Mateo and his wife Vanessa were both wonderful hosts and our stay in Pizota was unforgettable. Friendly locals and only a few other tourists, private beaches, and surrounding jungle made this place truly special. The shower overlooking the jungle and ocean with a surplus of hot water was a bonus. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need, and the blender was great for making fresh salsas and fruit smoothies. Taking the ten minute boat taxi to yelapa for groceries is pretty convenient, however there are two small tiendas in town with limited supplies. Looking forward to coming back someday!

Great place to relax, bird watch, and catch great views. Even nicer than it looks in the pictures! Has a great open air feel and Vanessa and Mateo added nice touches like passionfruit, grapefruit, and a hibiscus flower to make us feel at home. Well stocked with spices, cooking utensils, dishes, and basics and even some of the other supplies a traveler might need-such as bug spray and sunscreen. Comfy hammocks!! Kind and helpful hosts. If you're coming straight from the airport make sure you build in plenty of time to get to the water taxi. Had a great stay!

If you want to rest this accommodation is ideal since you have a very pleasant experience and even bathing it is as if you were part of the mountain since you have all the view of it

This is truly an experience that we hope any fellow traveller takes advantage of! Mateo and his family are so kind and welcoming and create an amazing atmosphere to relax and see Mexico in a totally unique way! Taking the boat Pizota starts the trip off exciting and you will not regret heading to a remote area. The people are friendly and the beaches are beautiful! 10 out of 10 for this awesome hut in a jungle atmosphere. We will be back.

This place is amazing. We planned on staying 2 nights and ended up staying 5 because it was so great! The hut has everything you need, including a nice outdoor bathroom and shower. We had great beach time, cooked up a fresh catch from the village fishermen everyday, snd even saw humpbacks everyday from the beach (it was calving season!). Mateo and Vanessa were lovely hosts. Will definitely return. Thanks again!

Mateo and his family are very welcoming and friendly! They helped us out alot during our trip. Mateo's family brought us fresh jungle fruits and Mateo even got us fresh fish and mint tea when we wanted it. Make sure you bring plenty of your own food! We did not and were vastly underprepared! Thankfully, Mateo and his family helped us get some food. He even ordered us a water taxi and helped us out with firewood. The view is stunning and the sound of the ocean is wonderful!

Mateo and Vanessa are gracious and generous hosts. The palapa is very special- rustic but very thoughtfully put together. The pots, pans and dishes are of very good quality, the bed is comfortable and the gas shower works really well. Pizota is a very interesting place, where a hand full of foreigners live among locals. Mateo checks on his guests every day and often invite his guests to join his beautiful family- he has 5 children, all of them a joy to be around. Safe water (from a spring) and a nice stocked kitchen including coffee was a big plus. The 10 minute walk down to the beach may be challenging to some and the mosquitos and flies can be a bit of a nuisance but that is country living. I will sure return to this paradise.

Mateo and Vanessa are such kind and generous hosts, and the whole family made us feel so welcome. They really go above and beyond in every way. Staying in their cabin surrounded by the jungle is a truly magical experience. It is so comfortable and you will find everything you need in there. Being surrounded by the huge trees, birds, and wildlife all day, and getting to know the family and the little community was such a special experience. The beaches are gorgeous. The village is very small and not touristy at all. You can always take a water taxi to Yelapa 10 min away if you need anything else or want to enjoy restaurants, shops, etc. My 5 year old daughter and I stayed 10 days in Pizota and can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you so much Vanessa and Mateo! Neva and I are so appreciative of everything.

What an awesome palapa and pueblo to spend four days in! This palapa was truly perfect for us-- an adventurous couple with a love of exercise and good food. The view was unbeatable and we spent a lot of time chilling in the chairs on the edge of the hill watching the waves, the whales, and the jungle wildlife go by. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools we needed to cook! We cooked two meals a day on the camp stove, made coffee in the french press every morning, and enjoyed the water from the mountain spring. We came prepared with a good amount of groceries from Puerto Vallarta including coffee, butter, yogurt, and granola (things that weren't as readily available in Pizota). With a little help from Vanessa and Mateo, we bought food from the village that was amazing-- fresh tortillas, farm eggs, limes, and best of all, the several different varieties of fish that the fisherman caught each day. The walk up and down the hill was a great way to get some daily exercise but as other reviews have mentioned, you must be able-bodied to get up to the house. Bring a head lamp or two if you want to venture down to the beach at night. All of that is to say, our experience would not have been so magical without the hospitality and kindness of Vanessa, Mateo, and their entire family. Being welcomed onto Indigenous land in this remote Pueblo of Pizota and was a gift unlike any other. We will have these memories with us forever. Muchisimas gracias a todo la gente de Pizota!

This place is a dream. We enjoyed panoramic views to the water while whales surface in the distance. Fires every night with sunsets while eating fresh caught fish. And daily interactions with people who live up the mountain. It has a beautiful village/neighborhood feeling that differs from the place we stayed last. It's easy to swing by other palapas to talk with people, and kids drop by the palapa from time to time, which was a complete delight for us. AND, you have privacy, with the sides of the house blocking most views so you can hang out nude in privacy (which is the curteous thing to do to others.) People always (often) give a good verbal warning before coming up on the palapa, so you won't be surprised. Sometimes people from Chimo (down the coast) will come through to sell hot tamales or flan or something delicious that they made. Some caution: this is definitely up the mountain, and requires able-bodiness to enjoy. The trails are steep, and might be difficult to do repeatedly if your body doesn't have mobility, strength or flexion. It was only about a 10 minutes walk from the beach, and we walk barefoot, but I was sick one day and was really able to feel how much effort it takes to climb up to the palapa. The stairs are also pretty challenging if you don't have good knee flexion, with no landing at the top (you have to squat to step onto the third tread getting up and down.) Overall, amazing place but not for the faint of heart :)

We enjoyed our stay up on the hill. View was superb. The 10 minute walk up was definitely tiring but helped us stay in shape. The kitchen was def well stocked. The place felt very private, but It was convenient to have Mateo’s house nearby. He was about as good of an Airbnb host (out of at least 50) as I’ve experienced, helpful in so many ways. Loved our week long stay.

Wow. Talk about a unique AirBnb. If you are looking to get away and experience a secluded beach on indigenous land this is your spot.

Great deal from Mateo. Always on the lookout, always attentive and constant communication during our stay

This is a unique home in beautiful Yelapa. It is walking distance to everything yet secluded enough that you really feel like you are in your own little world. Ariana is a lovely host!

The case suenos was kept spotless by Ariana's weekly visits, muchos gracias . All the amenities of the casa exactly as pictured and described. On Arrival I was greeted by Ariana and her dog and driven by ATV taxi to the red gate of the property. Ariana and Harry the care taker were very quick in responding to minor maintenance problems and Harry even accompanied me to the clinic to translate the particulars of my foot injury history to the medical doctor, again mucho gracias.I did my own breakfast with the available kitchen utilities and had most suppers in town - which has a series of very good and reasonably priced restaurants. The bed is comfy and one can use the mosquito netting if necessary. The open air shower was nice and supplied hot water most of the time ( a short outage because of a dead battery in the on demand water heater). I did not see any scorpios during my month long stay probably because the surroundings of the houses are now regularly "fumigated". If one ( like myself) is a rather light sleeper one should bring good quality ear plugs. Sandals with tow protection and a good grip, water bootie's and back packs rather than roller suit cases are also a good idea. A head lamp is practical to light up the darker street parts and steps to the casa.

We stayed at Casa del la Suenos (Casa Bambu) in January 2020. Ariana and her lovely dog Serena met us and had our bags transported. The entrance to her place is on the main ‘road’, an easy 15 minute walk into the centre of town. The place is in a wonderful jungle setting, just what we were looking for. Apparently, Bob Dylan and other celebrities stayed here in the ‘60s. Older, unused structures on the sprawling property make for great photo ops, and we wandered around taking lots of photos of birds, the Elegant Trogon and Squirrel Cuckoo among our favourites. The rental suite is in a large traditional house with many levels and alcoves. It is very rustic but clean. The bed was super-comfortable and enclosed in the netting you see in the photos… although there were almost no bugs at all, anyway. The kitchen area was functional with fridge, cooktop, sink and drinking water. There were some kitchen supplies, although we ate in Town. The bathroom is adjoining the main room and it is open to the outside. There was sufficient hot water but not enough for long showers. We found it quite nice to take showers outside! To sum up, the place is what the photos show, although now there are nice windows instead of just openings. The windows don’t quite seal their openings, but Ariana said she was considering a change. She was very helpful and assured us that we should contact her if we had any needs whatsoever. She also checked on us and asked what we thought should be improved. We very much enjoyed our stay!

The place is better than what you see in photos. If it is a little difficult to find the address since my boyfriend and I had to find it for ourselves from the boardwalk of the town and the town has a bit weird numbering. Fortunately it is a small town and people know where everything is. The vegetation is beautiful in the house, you have to climb some stairs to get from the entrance cancel to the room, try to go light. The house has all the necessary services to spend a comfortable and quiet, has a beautiful view of the beach and the kitchen is very well equipped. The super comfortable bed and the functional bathroom and in good condition. The space is ample and quite quiet around. The beach is super close if you go by the river side. We loved it and highly recommend it.

Villa Bambu was a great place to stoy if you want a little privacy. It's a hike up the steps to get there but for us it was worth it to have the isolation. Arianna was very helpful and quick to respond when we needed to talk to her. We plan to come back!

Beautiful jungle getaway with easy access to beach and town. Here you will find a quiet space to yourself in nature. In fact, we saw iguanas, monkeys, and birds from the hammock! Must try Los Abuelos tacos in town too. Enjoy!

Ariana was a lovely host, and we were happy to meet her. The space is minimalist, showcasing the beauty of the surrounding jungle. The bed was comfortable and the view amazing. We were pleasantly surprised to still be able to see and hear the water while also peaceful and removed from town. The rest of the property looks amazing as well and we are excited to see it being restored. She recommended Los Abuelos for dinner, and it was absolutely outstanding.

Amazing! Great people, great view, friendly good service. Harry was an amazing host and very professional, highly recommend this location to anyone, best people ever!

Absolutely loved my stay here! After I had stayed one night I had to extend my stay by an extra night because it was so hard to leave. If sleeping in a tent is your thing then this place will be perfect on your next stay to Yelapa

Do not hesitate to visit Missael, he is a very kind and warm person, very attentive to your doubts or needs, he gives you good tips, the accommodation is very good the tents are practically new and the blankets are clean, it has an incredible view!

You can't beat the location. Right on the beach! The restaurant operates during the day from around 9-6 but that did not bother us. We were off to the side. There is a private bathroom just steps away from the tent at night and a outdoor shower if you need after bathing in the sea. The air mattress was comfortable and Very fresh sheets and blankets were provided. We only stayed one night but would have stayed more if we had time. The restaurant also gives you a 10 % discount. Staff is very pleasant and Missal is super accommodating. He offered us Great deals on tours but we only had one night so we chose to meander up the river and hang out by the beach. Highly recommend this for people on a budget who don't mind sleeping in a tent. Our things were also very safe there but we didn't bring much. Was a wonderful experience for 1 night

Very pleasant experience, waking up to the sound of the waves, almost alone! The environment was as described ... great for spending the evening and the morning in peace before the arrival of tourists during the day. The whole family is very friendly! Definitely to come back!

This location on the beach is supreme. Misa and his family at Rogelios Beach Restaurant are very considerate and serve great food! For anyone used to backpacking this place has everything you need. Thanks for a great vacation in Yelapa!

The location was great and the sound of ocean waves was very relaxing. The tent blow-up mat was comfortable. Only a few things could use some attention: it would be nice to have toilet seats on the commodes and the music a little quieter All in all it was a nice adventure. Thanks

I loved camping on the beach and living simply for a few days. This type of accommodation suited me and my travel style. As long as you're happy with the basics and living out in the open this is perfect for you. The inflatable bed was comfortable and the sheets were pristine. The tents are set up beside the chairs and tables of the restaurant so during the day there are lots of people around (not crowded though) and from about 5pm things quieten down. This is an ideal option if travelling on a budget, and planning to spend most of your time outdoors, which you should because this area is stunningly beautiful. I'd definitely stay here again.

It's a tent on the beach with pillows and warm blanket. Everything was clean and hygienic. I wasn't expecting that to be honest. Tent is new and I had access to an outdoor shower which I didn't use but was nice to have. Got to move my tent right up to the beachfront and woke up to the most beautiful view with all types of beautiful birds chirping away. Will repeat this adventure again.

You are very good !!! Very good !!!

This was a great spacious apartment in a convenient location. Scarro was a GEM at quickly replying and helping with and questions we had about the place and the little town. Great Value for the money. Would stay again!

Grest down town location with a partial bay view

Great, clean place. Helpful hosts answered very quickly and were very kind and responsive. Only complaint is that on Saturday night the music in the town center is so loud until 3:30am that it was very hard to sleep

I very much enjoyed my visit to this home, good location for visit and communication was good, hope to come back.

This is a nice apartment located right at the entrance to the village on the trail from the beach. We loved the ocean view and breeze, the comfy couch and clean modern space. We especially loved how responsive socorro was. Anytime we had a question or request soccorro was very quick to reply and made sure we had everything we needed. She is a great host. If you stay here make sure you have dinner at los abuelos restaurant which is just steps away. Their food is amazing!

Excellent place to take a break

Beautiful apartment

Casa Roca is a wnderful space. The house has everything you need, from high quality towels and sheets to a well equipted kitchen and a nice stock of condiments. Susan is a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and she is a great source of information, she send me details of what to expect and what to bring (there are not stores near the town), hot showers and amazing views. I enjoy my leazy morning watching wales and a most peaceful day at the beach. If you visit this place you must do the jungle walk to Chimo (the next little town) and visit Antonio´s restaurante, they serve the most delicious sea food!! Susan, thanks so much for hosting me and for all the information you send out to me and wonderful recommendations, thanks to you I was able to enjoy my trip to the max. Next time I will defenetly book for a longer time.

What a splendid week we had at Susan’s Oceanside jungle palapa! Susan provided all the helpful details to ensure an enjoyable and memorable stay, even recommending a local taxi driver and giving thorough instructions on how to best disembark the Water Taxi for a “wet” (no dock) landing. Upon arriving, a fellow palapa resident Mike and others helped us up the 112 steps to the wonderful Casa above the sea! We enjoyed the full kitchen, eating most meals out on the balcony overlooking the bay. Some mornings we got to watch the splashing fins of humpback families passing by. And then there was the delight of seeing an iguana climb down the palm tree just a couple feet from us! If your idea of a good time is relaxing to the sound of the surf, making your own food, getting regular exercise of hiking, stair climbing, and swimming, stargazing, seeing brilliantly colored butterflies at every turn, birdwatching, and hiking through rugged terrain for a well-deserved fresh seafood meal at the local restaurant, then this is the place for you!

We really loved this house, it has a great view over the jungle and ocean and is very well equipped. Susan has been great to communicate with aswell. Los Chonchos is one of our favorite palces in the world and we recommend this house very much to anyone who likes to enjoy nature and privacy. It´s paradise.

If you like to be absorbed by nature & love the ocean this is an awesome experience! The daily up & down the 100 stairs becomes my elliptical a la nature. We love going to long beach most days . The views & privacy of casa roca plus the internet and comfy bed make this a healing & heavenly space. We will return if we are lucky. Mindful of the water taxi deal. Pay close attention. Let the guides take ALL of your luggage and back packs! Too. You may be going for a salt water baptism, unexcepected and unannounced This is a rugged outward bound experience . Not for the timid or vulnerable , but if you can hack it, you have found a slice of heaven on earth.

Wonderful experience! Our visit to Susan's palapa was just what we needed. This definitely isnt the ideal vacation for everyone, but if you like camping or "glamping" then this is a great option for you. You do have to bring in all your own food/drinks so shopping and getting our groceries to the boat then to the plapa took some effort and organizing (definitely get boxes or a cooler for your groceries so they dont get crushed on the boat!), but once we settled in our time at Los Chonchos was magical. The plapa is high up at the top of about 100+ switch back steps, but we enjoyed the hike every day up and down the staircase through the jungle. The views are beautiful and the plapa is well equipped with everything we needed. If your not comfortable with the fact that you might encounter a scorpion, mouse, or a spider or two then this also might not be the place for you ;) The beaches are absolutely stunning, but we had some rain & choppy waters the first few days so weren't able to swim, but after the rain cleared away the waters calmed and we had a few great beach days. Loved hiking to and from Chimo and exploring Yelapa for a day. Susan was a wonderful host and answered all our questions quickly, she even helped us get a crib for our 1 year old baby girl. Thank you Susan! We hope to be back again next year!

A nice space located behind the church in the village. No Wi-Fi.

Comfortable and very good location. We loved the place, the photos don't do justice the truth. The super comfortable bed

Place was immaculate . Water was hot in the shower . Water filter on kitchen sink faucet. Host responded quickly . Very happy with my stay .

Nice place, very cozy. The owner very kind

Very cute space. We enjoyed it.

This is a nice little apartment. Close to the pier where the boat launches. Clean and great comfy bed. No wifi. The hot water is solar heated, so environmentally friendly.

Super recommended, safe clean, good location, and very equipped.

Great location! Perfect for solo traveller or couple.

I agree with so many of the previous reviews about this being a great place to get away and enjoy the sun and sea. The people are wonderful and Mateo, the onsite host, couldn't have been more efficient and helpful. Being in our seventies, initially I was somewhat hesitant (beach landing, short walk to house on next beach over trail, etc), but Mateo and crew were there to meet water taxi and carried ALL our bags and groceries to the house. Prior to our booking, we had great communication with the host, Dennis. We certainly plan to b e back.

Oh my God!!!!! What an amazing time in dennis's beautiful home! What à paradise! We felt like visiting friends and family... We cant wait to come back to pizota! Everything was so perfect! Music, delicious meal shared, advices, incredible warmth. We will never forget! Thank you soooooo Much!

The place is amazing, but meeting people made our stay much better We had a very nice time Pizota is amazing

What a change of scenery! A true little paradise! Ideal for letting go, recharging your batteries, meditating, finding yourself and finding the essentials facing the ocean. An experience to live absolutely! Thank you Dennis, Thank you Matteo!

Fantastic place, can't recommend enough

Incredible place and hospitality, 100% recommended

Expect the unexpected, in the lap of luxury.

Beautiful and remote. Great atmosphere, location and fantastic hosts.

Beautiful spot in a great location!

You will do yourself a great favor by coming to Yelapa and staying at Garcia Rentals. The apartment was full of brand new appliances, it was extremely spacious and clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location cannot be beat right where the river flows into the ocean, you are at the nexus between the beautiful Yelapa beach and the wonderful little town on the hill. This place is amazing. We love Yelapa so much and this is perhaps our 5th time staying there. Garcia Rentals was the best place we have been in there. The only problem with the entire stay is that we only booked it for 4 nights!

Erik’s place was part of the iconic Garcia Rentals on the south side of the beach in Yelapa. We came in the off season and were some of the only people on the whole complex! The open air quarters had the best view of the river the entire beach and all the birds from the 5th floor. It was exceptional and magnificently relaxing.

outstanding host and always very caring

This place was great. It is exactly as we thought it would be. The room and view were lovely.

garcia rentals in yelapa is regarded with high esteem. family reputation is excellent. trustworthy and will go back when i get a chance

This is a beautiful little apartment with a great view of the beach below. You have the cooking basics, great space, a hammock and the serenity of Yelapa. Thanks to Erik and the rest of the crew for making a great space for travelers to enjoy the rustic tranquility of this special place.

So relaxing, a beautiful place to be “off the grid”. The locals who work around there are pleasant, friendly & helpful & went above and beyond to accommodate us! Waves...birds...beach...what could be better than that?!

We have stayed at this house 3 times before and absolutly love it. The location could not be better, and the house is decorated with many details and love. It is well equipped. We recommend it very much.

The Palapa was beautiful. So relaxing. Perfect spot on your own beach. The experience was amazing! Cannot wait to go back.

Heaven on earth....this place is truly magical. If you are looking for an escape away from the hustle & grind of daily life & want to be immersed in nature this is the place!!!! It has access to beautiful beaches, hikes, the jungle, chimo & more...One of my favorite things to do is swing in the hammock watching the waves & butterflies fly past & do nothing for hours (or days ;)

What a magical little place! If you're looking for a private, off the grid, beach hideaway you should stop looking - because this is it! Most of the time we felt like the only ones there. So quiet and peaceful, only the sounds of the ocean and birds around you. Everyone we met there, staff and locals, were very friendly. We had one meal prepared by Chef Alfonso which was good - but we actually loved cooking in the fully equipped kitchen overlooking the ocean every day better. If you like to cook, and don't mind schlepping your groceries in from PV I would highly recommend it. Please note it is indeed an hour+ long hike to Chimo - especially after recent storms which have washed away part of the trail. That said probably one of the most stunning hikes I have ever been on. Rainforest on one side, vast ocean views on the other, and surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of butterflies. It felt like a dream. Since we were bringing home a huge fish we bought off a local fisherman we opted to take the water taxi back. Unless you really love hiking, I'd recommend timing your hike with the boat taxi so you can do the same. Not to mention it's hard to get your momentum up again after the huge plate of ceviche and beers you'll end up having at Arturo's :) As Pamela will mention it's a good idea to pad your trip with at least one day in PV the day before and after your time in Dos Mulas - the last thing you want is stress going in and out of this incredibly relaxing paradise. During our departure, I chatted with one of the locals and was complimenting her on what a wonderful community Los Choncos was. I said we absolutely loved the place, but understand it isn't the "all-inclusive" resort experience some people want from a Puerto Vallarta vacation. She responded, "Chonchos is all-inclusive, just all inclusive of other things." She is so right. I really hope you pick this place so you can experience it for yourself!

Very pleased with our stay. We were amazed you could find this kind of solitude so close to Puerto Vallarta. The place is exactly as pictured, the amenities are as listed (good snorkeling gear) and the kitchen is better equipped than expected- they win the sharpest kitchen knife in an Airbnb award for sure! Beautiful place for peace and nature. I could watch the pelicans all day. Hope to be back.

Such a great adventure!!! Pamela is a great host too!

Anyone wanting off the grid, glamping in an adventerous, comfortable and stunning location should consider a stay at Pamela's beautiful place at Los Chonchos! The hammocks and (felt like) private beach access was amazing.

The place is in a perfect location. Awesome host. Beauty spot in Yelapa. 👍👍

Great place to stay in Yelapa. Perfectly located, close to the downtown pier and many great restaurants.

Highly recommended! Good only. Very nice place! Comfortable furniture. All perfect :)

Our stay was fantastic in Yelapa! It was such a beautiful, peaceful place and the location of CasaYolanda was excellent! The apartment so quaint and very clean! The hospitality of Orestes and his family was warm and genuine! We felt very welcome and safe. We definitely hope to visit this vacation spot again. Kind regards!

Our stay at casa yolanda really was a wonderful experience! The views were so beautiful. It was such a comfortable place to hang out and have a morning coffee while staring at the gorgeous ocean. It was very clean and the bed was so comfortable! We stayed for two nights and wish we were staying for two more. The pace of yelapa is slow (which you learn to love) but Orestes was very quick at responding if we needed anything! Highly suggest walking to the upper waterfall, there is a map on how to get there. And go early to miss the crowds, were we lucky enough to have the waterfall to ourselves. I highly recommend casa Yolanda and wouldn’t hesitate booking again if we ever find ourselves back in Yelapa!

Beautiful place in Yelapa! Great location, super close to all the great restaurants. And the view- the open air living room is just amazing! Orestes and his family was super communicative and accommodating!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Yolanda! The apartment has a beautiful view over the bay and we loved the fresh air open floor plan! Any questions we had were answered immediately and everyone was incredibly nice. I would highly recommend this place and definitely stay here again. The WiFi was fast and reliable which was also a huge plus!

I can’t rate this place highly enough! Great location, stunning views and a great price. Orestes and his family were very helpful with anything we needed. Yelapa is a gem and this place makes your experience even better. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Honestly, this Airbnb is outstanding. The view is heavenly, and you can hear the ocean all night. The cold Jacuzzi tub is a godsend. The rooms are huge, huge bed, huge open kitchen, two decks, hammock, lots of chairs and 2 recliners. Do watch leaving bananas out, the jungle is all around and a Kudamundi (beautiful Mexican raccoon like animal) shared my bananas. Lots of hot water. The Wifi was so good, that it kept me sharing my experience too much (ha). Five minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from town. Be aware that the cleaning staff, two super wonderful people show up around 10am, to do some laundry, -just make sure you've got your pants on, etc. My guess is you could negotiate timing, for some extra privacy. Yelapa feels so safe, but there is a safe in the main bedroom and the locals are the truly the best. In town, Tacos Los Abuelos blew my mind, and I ate there 3 times. I had the best Vegan burrito and salads, but they have every food need done to perfection. The close town waterfall is super easy to enjoy, but do take the 1.5 hour hike to the further waterfall, if you can. Such a great experience, jungle, local community, and an opportunity to see so many animals. Horses, lizards and I hung out below a tree filled with wild Military Macaws. Pedro is the perfect host. Don't delay this is where to stay.

We thoroughly our stay at Pedro's. Communication was easy. His brother Genero met us at the water taxi and carried my heavier bag up. The location is perfect between town and beach. The casa is very rustic but has very thing you need and the large decks and splunge pool make up for everything. Sueha came everyday to sweep up the decks collect the garbage etc. I had a medical emergency while there and they were fabulous getting a doctor to come to see me. We would definitely recommend this for their hospitality and the view. Muchos Gracious Pedro & Genero

Pedro's cousin welcomed us at the dock and took us to the property. Pedro was very kind to us. Very nice place

Pedro’s place was really great! Communication was excellent and the view was spectacular. Pedro stored our bags for us after we asked for a late checkout. My wife, our dog and I enjoyed our stay. We would stay again!

Great place to chill out or Entertain. Great location right between beach and town. Would stay there again.

Pedros place was really great! The view from the house was amazing and enjoying an afternoon swim in the pool was just perfect. Would definitely recommend this place and Pedro as a host :)

Excellent site, quiet, nice, private.

The location is perfect. Halfway between the village and the beach. A few steps to climb, but that’s Yelapa. Extremely private with unmatched views. Pedro arrived to escort us to the house within 10 minutes of calling and letting him know we had arrived. Beautiful setting in a jungle paradise. We’ll be back for sure.

Wonderful place! Irving was great! Loved the view!

Great location and wonderful helpful hosts. Couldn’t of picked a better place in yelapa. Highly recommend! Thank you guys!

Absolutely beautiful views from this central location. The outdoor living area and kitchen were joy. Irving was so friendly was quick to bring fresh drinking water , beach towels, etc. I would definitely stay again and recommend this apartment to friends and family. Muchas garcias, Irving!!!

This February was our third visit to Yelapa , but the first time we had stayed in town. Irving's place was the perfect pick. Right in the middle of town, but above all the action with great views of the bay. The hustle & bustle of town & the roosters was lively, but never annoying - and the bed was great! We had a challenge getting hot water in the shower on the first day, but Irving was there in a flash to set us on the right track. We really enjoyed ourselves & would definitely recommend it to others.

Nice place.

Lovely place, perfectly located. Thanks for the wonderful visit!

This is an excellent place and a great value. We couldn’t have found a better place. Perfectly located. Great view. Calm. Clean and safe. Irving was the perfect host. When I come back there is no better place then this 1 bedroom. I wish I could have stayed more time! Thank you Irving. Go to restaurants: Los Abuelos, unbelievable tacos de pulpo, y el Pollo Bollo.

Nice clean place to stay just steps off the Yelapa pier. Host greeted us right after we got off water taxi and walked us to the place and showed us around. Amazing view from the deck. Really cool indoor/outdoor split unit. Easy walk to many restaurants nearby including the Yelapa Yacht Club. Excellent communication with hosts. Great value.

.

Pedro's place is a great option in Yelapa with all the basics and a breathtaking view of this beautiful cove. Would recommend it to anyone EXCEPT those with mobility issues as there are a lot of stairs! It's well worth the climb though.

We arrived in yelapa on a day trip & loved it so decided to stay overnight. Found this place on air bnb & could not have been more stoked with it. Awesome view, spotless clean, kitchen for cooking breakfast not much more you can ask for! Definitely Recommend.

Clean space with an amazing view! I appreciated the motion lights, too, for the stair climbs after dark.

A lovely, very responsive local family runs this gem of a roost. This is the place to stay if you love nature, want a spectacular view, enjoy getting some exercise to work off all that yummy Mexican food and want to be immersed in the jungle. Don't expect decorations or fine touches inside, but the simple space is clean and the host family is very nice and very responsive. This was our second stay and we will return.

We really enjoyed our stay! Excellent place to stay hidden in the mountains, ideal to relax with a unique and spectacular view towards the bay ... sleeping or waking up with the sounds of nature is amazing ... Pedro is an excellent host, friendly and attentive, he was totally pending our comfort and needs.

This is one of my favorites in the Yelapa magical place to sleep. Epic view. Comfiest beds. 3rd stay and I will stay again.

My dad and I absolutely loved our experience! The owner and caretakers were super kind, responsive and helpful. The location and vista couldn't be beat. Pure joy waking up each morning to an amazing diversity of jungle birds and spectacular ocean scape. We are already missing it!

Really Nice appartment. Wonderfull view, si clean. Just wow!!!

Maria’s place is even more beautiful that shown in pictures. Location is wonderful, although you must be ok with stairs, but its well worth it. She went above and beyond helping us this trip and I can say she’s the best host I’ve had thus far! Thanks for our stay Maria!

The location and condition of the place was perfect. We’d stay there again.

This is the second time I have visited Casa papaya and I love it! Best view I've ever had at an Airbnb. We accidentally locked our keys in the casa late at night and someone was sent right over to help us out. I will definitely visit again and again!

Great place to merge into local culture! Wonderful views!!

Super easy check in and the location is unbeatable. Yelapa is an amazing place to stay and being right on the water and hearing the waves lap on the shore as you're falling asleep is spectacular.

The view! Yes, there are many steps down to get here and a steep hill to climb before that, but all of Mexico seems to be steps. :) We stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderful. We love Yelapa and this location was great with the view of the bay and the beach. Easy access to the store and the trails and restaurants too. We had a resident iguana in the palm and birds always on the rocks out front. Remember to bring lots of cash! Not many credit here. And also bring some warmer clothes. It got chilly here at night with open walls. There were great snuggly blankets to coze up with. A good choice if you are coming to Yelapa!

Casa Papaya is just as advertised. Yelapa is a small gem in Mexico! Friendly people, great food and a great beach. We loved our stay and hope to go back. Maria is a responsive and helpful host. At Casa Papaya, Wifi works well, hot water and water pressure were all great! Go for breakfast at Cafe Bahia, coffee at Cafe Pacifica, and get tacos at Los Abuelos. On the beach, settle in for the day at Coco’s for the best margaritas and really friendly service.

A beautiful Mexican style house, with view over the whole shore, sleeping on the sound of the ocean, huge terrace, full equipped kitchen, big living room. We loved it, we will surely be back.

Authentic paradise. Natural gem of Mexico. Outstanding hospitality. Spend time here, respect and appreciate the one of a kind community! Loved the time here. Met some amazing people. We are hopeful our return to Pizota is sooner than later. Thank you, Mateo for a memorable experience! Tip: Bring groceries or plan a stop in Yelapa. Local cooks or fishermen available for hire.

Magical place. Dennis and Mateo are the best. I can not say enough good about this place. Thank you so much

This place was absolutely paradise. Mateo was such an amazing host. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will be coming back, as soon as we can!

Very nice place; honestly nothing to complain about. Dennis and Matteo were great hosts. Highly recommended

We had a great time in Pizota with Dennis and Maeto. The beaches were great, the village people were easy going, but most do not understand English, but that is where Maeto was a lot of help. Our room was really large, great bed, felt like home. We were treated like part of the family, such a great experience during our stay. We are already planning our next stay here in Pizota with Dennis and Maeto

A beautiful gem of a house and idyllic setting on the beach! Mateo, the house manager, was very attentive to our every need and whim-even brought us fresh coconuts to enjoy! We snorkeled, kayaked, did bird watching and relaxing for 4 days. This house has everything needed in the kitchen-microwave, oven, toaster oven, etc. The house has high quality linens and is decorated beautifully. If you love nature and a quiet setting this place is for you. There are no bars or restaurants here, but you can buy food and beer/wine at the very small local store, including milk, yogurt, beans, rice and basic fresh vegetables. We bought a fresh caught fish from a fisherman! Note: you arrive by water taxi (boat) and jump off onto the beach. If it is stormy, they will pick you up from the water taxi by kayak!

Dennis, Mateo and Eric are consummate hosts. They provide everything you need and more to create an unforgettable experience. This is paradise.

This was amazing! A cute house a bit higher up on the hill. Every morning having breakfast on the big terrace, enjoying the view, while scanning the ocean for whales was such a relaxing way to to start the day. Hanner is very responsive and her father who lives downstairs gave us a warm welcome. Everything went super smooth!

You can expect the most lovely people to greet you here. Jessie is always available to answer questions. He will kindly answer questions with a big warm smile. I am greatful for the kindness and hospitality. I will plan to return soon.

The view from the terrace is simply beautiful! The house is in the jungle and the windows have no glass so there will always be some insects but at this time of the year there are almost no mosquitoes. The kitchen has everything basic to cook and the owner Antonio is very friendly

This little house is a cutie collected in the forest of the jungle, so if it is very important to take mosquito repellent! The good thing is that the bed has a mosquito net that protected us perfectly during the night. Antonio's family is very friendly, and always aware of any questions you have during your stay. The climb to get to the place can be heavy if you have a lot to climb, but the view is worth it. It is a little further from the main beach that we would have liked, but only because to get faster you have to cross a small river whose water level rises too much at night to use this shortcut back to the house. However, I highly recommend Antonio's house. It is beautiful and with everything you need for a relaxing and good vibes stay.

In the end two friends joined us and Hanner recommended another house that they have in the same property, as they could not send us photos we were a bit worried not knowing how it would be but we were very surprised, a beautiful house with a lot of open space, views beautiful from the bedrooms to enjoy Yelapa. Hanner's dad a very kind and helpful man. 100% recommended and I hope to return and return to stay at Hanner's house.

This space is beautiful. The patio has a hammock with an amazing view of Yelapa. The walk up to the apartment is appreciated exercise but not recommended for anyone who isn't able bodied or who has any physical difficulties. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. There is no hot water. Thanks for the stay !

10 stars

Host are quick to respond and will meet you at the Yelapa Pier. Jesse and his father are nice, knowledgeable about the community. Jesse speaks perfect English. The home is up a flight of stairs, and the view is worth it. It's a great place amidst the Jungle! Will recommend this place to all nature lovers!

"Los Chonchos" is the perfect place to unwind and escape the fast pace of everyday life. "Casa de Pirata" was unique to the other "palapas" with its beachfront location, beautiful original wooden shutters to cozy up the space in the evenings and the most lovely double-tiered deck. We can't wait to go back... the only problem is that we weren't there long enough!

Excellent place!

I’m pretty sure my husband and I have never been as relaxed as we were at Mike’s palapa. Pirata is so comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing, and just the perfect place to completely disconnect and unwind. I don’t think I’ve ever slept so much in my life. This place is completely off the grid with no tourists or noise to annoy you. The locals and other palapa owners are all beautiful, kind, and helpful people. We hardly speak any Spanish, but we were able to get by just fine because everyone is so helpful. Also, there are some palapa owners around who speak fluent English, and also some who have cell/WIFI service if you’re really in a bind, but as long as you arrive with enough pesos for the water taxi, Yelapa, and Arturo’s, and you have enough groceries for your stay, you should not have any trouble. The water taxi comes and goes twice a day and this is a big event. The sound of the boat will get your attention...that’s about the only non-nature sound you will hear. I have never seen anything like this. My husband and I will definitely be back.

Great place for a relaxing time. Be aware that there may be some critters (crabs, ants, that sort of thing.) Very relaxing.

This place is really magic! We spent our weddingdays at this wonderful house and had the best time. The house is very clean and beautiful, right in the middle of nature. The house is equipped with everything you need. Paradise!

We loved Los Chonchos and Mike's place "Pirata". It is a great spot to relax with great views on the ocean. On our arrival the boat was not able to stop at Los Chonchos - the ocean was too wild - and we got off at Chimo. Luckily Chileno came to help us carry our bags to our cabana, a 40 minute walk along the coastline.

A fantastic experience we will never forget...I am so so happy that we took the opportunity to come here and hope we can return soon with more friends and family. The palapa was a magical hideaway, so private yet so close to the water. Shaded by palms, just a short little sandy walk from the beach. We fed the iguanas pineapple scraps, watched dolphins go by and fell asleep to what sounded like a full blast ocean sounds CD hahaha. The sea is loud!!! Absolutely loved Chonchos, hiking to Chimo and going to Yelapa. Spent long days on the long beach seeing not a soul. Waking up he Palapa and seeing the ocean was so lovely and the lack of wifi is worth the trip alone. So great to log off! The Palapa had everything we needed and I absolutely recommend this place to anyone... anyone that is who enjoys a beautiful, rustic, peaceful escape... we read books and relaxed and felt totally rejuvenated after a week. Mike was great with communicating and we hope many more people get to enjoy this special place. Thanks to everyone at Chonchos and Chimo (Arturo, Alphonso, Antonio, etc) who made it a great trip. Don't miss Antonio's home made spiked fruit punch or his ceviche in Chimo!!!

mike's place is stunning.We booked mikes place for 5 days but our son got sick in Mexico city so we came late and stayed for only 3 days but Mike was really kind enough to offer us to stay 2 more days.. we came in from water taxi and picked up by wonderful crew of los chonchos.most of the time we used to be the only ones on beach..we walked to the another secluded long beach nearby which takes only 5-10 mints.our two year old son had a great time.we even saw whales from house in morning while having breakfast .it was an amazing experience.los chonchos is a secluded place .if you are looking for luxury its not for you.its for the ones who appreciate nature .Mike was in contact all the time with us and was really really helpful about everything.Thanks mike for letting us stay in your place. 😊

Wonderful adresse, beautiful view, spacious and central!!

Fedro and his family were excellent hosts! I may have had two extra people staying the night and fedro was quick to respond and offer to bring up two extra beds and linens. Casa Azul is a very spacious with incredible views of Yelapa. I live in the area and will definitely be staying at Casa Azul on my next trip to Yelapa!

Casa Azul is a highly recommended place to stay in Yelapa. The house is beautiful, with very nice details. It has an excellent view of the bay and the terrace is ideal to hang out having a drink or just resting in your hammock. The house has everything you need, even drinking water and basic cooking supplies, such as salt and oil. The grill is phenomenal, all in perfect condition and very clean.

Spectacular views overlooking the bay. The picture does not do it justice. We ended up doing take ouy and eat on the patio. You can’t beat that view. The place is superclean, on the third floor with stairs only. It is located up hill so if walking up hill is an issue, get on an ATV transport that roam the town. The town is very charming. I would stay here again. Don’t be afraid to ask for restaurant recommendations from the owner.

Clean & safe private apartment with beautiful views of the bay.

The location was ideal, the home was clean and well provided, our hosts were super friendly, helpful and kind

Better than I expected, spacious, pleasant, comfortable and if that were not enough I had a grill!

Everything was clean, the location is excellent, I recommend 100 this accommodation !!

Nice facilities, good service, very good everything

We loved the place, rustic, in contact with nature and relaxing, super recommended.

Beautiful and enchanting. In the nature and still not away from the village center.

If you want a place to relax and get out of the routine, this is the right place, really beautiful, spectacular views and really friendly people. Definitely recommended. Just don't forget to bring your mosquito repellent.

I loved spending time in Yelapa and the best part of the trip, besides all the gorgeous and healing nature, was the locals. The workers there are very kind and thoughtful. The only downside was the mosquitoes because of the time of the year I went is the lower season because of the rains. The storms were incredible tho, and we were safe. I would recommend exploring other small pueblos around it by boat as well. Would love to come back again ❤️

It is a beautiful place, very well maintained details, the view is incredible and the pool fills you with peace, we loved it !!! A true paradise!

This place is GORGEOUS! You will see lots of wildlife (butterflies, crabs in your bathroom, birds, moths, ants, lizards, snakes, mosquitoes, beetles), and you will basically sleep outside. That being said, there is nothing like waking up on a hillside overlooking an ocean with nothing blocking your view or the fresh sea breeze! You will shower next to birds singing and your butt and legs will get the work out of their lives. It is an AMAZING place to go, unwind, relax, and reset! The staff was kind, responsive, and helpful. Food seemed a little expensive, but it was healthy and my body really needed vegetables after all those delicious al pastor tacos at PV. My Swedish massage with Jessica was amazing. My reiki treatment with Ivana (sp? sorry!) was incredible. It was my first reiki session, and I didn't know what to expect. This retreat was to help my heart heal, and I told Ivana what was ailing me, and her empathy and healing abilities brought the spark back to my eyes and I will be forever grateful. If it weren't for her, the rest of my stay in Mexico would have been sad and heavy.

Wow wow wow! Just book it, u won't be disappointed. The grounds , location, room, pool, food , hosts everything was spot on. We stayed in room #2. So peaceful and relaxing. Unlike any other stay, We will be back!

A few excellent days to rest, the place is beautiful. The only awkward thing is that there is not much privacy inside the room if there are many guests. It is important to consider that the pool bath is used.

I left Yelapa in love !!! It is a magical place and in Pura Vida they manage to connect with that harmony between nature and the spaces that invite you to relaxation, meditation and especially connection with nature because it has its adventure. In other comments they have already given some practical advice to follow as it is a bit far from the town it is better to bring a lamp in case they return in low light, bring a mosquito repellent and other things that the hosts can solve, their attention is what Better, with familiarity. Pura Vida, I will definitely return.

The place is amazing, you have options to eat there, small library, very original spaces, the pool and salt water jacuzzi are the best, I will definitely be back soon!

The place is beautiful and the people are very friendly! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this place, room 15 has an excellent view, it is undoubtedly a place that makes you disconnect from routine life and connect with nature my wife and I were really satisfied and fascinated, we will return very soon.

Highly recommend

yelapa is magical and this space nestled on the outskirts makes it easy to retreat or make your way to town. Beautiful views. I kept to myself and that was honored while I was there, but they were very helpful when I needed help

Casa Yolanda has one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. If you're considering staying in Yelapa, I highly recommend this home! Orestes and his family were so sweet to us, and provided detailed information about where to go and what to do during our stay. An experience I'll never forget. Thank you!

Comfortable accommodations in a great location with A/C. Very happy with our experience and the communication. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! The unit is brand new, and the location is very convenient to all the local hot spots, and to the pier when arriving and departing. Orestes's family is very accommodating and Orestes is quick to respond with requests. : )

This is a great place to stay in Yelapa! Very close to the town pier and restaurants. Great views of the bay and easy access to everything. Communication was fast and easy. Definitely recommend.

Excellent service

This spot is incredible. The view of the bay is stunning with fresh air and a lovely place to hang out in the indoor hammock. The house is very close to the dock and close to all the amenities of the town of Yelapa, including a little market and folkloric dancing right at the ground level certain days of the weeks. A heads up that the bars and restaurants close by can be pretty noisy in the evenings.

Great location in the center of town; views are amazing! The house was clean and comfortable; had most everything we needed. Easy check in. Very prompt response and very accommodating when we changed the arrival day.

Great spot right in the heart of the pueblo. The view of the ocean is absolutely stunning. This is a nice spacious casa with lots of living space to hang out in, cook meals, gaze out at the ocean and even whale watch! Very convenient location by the new museum, Cafe Eclipse and a minute walk to the ocean and restaurants.

Marilyn is the ultimate Air BnB host, and this our second visit to Pizota. If you are reading this and would like to experience an authentic Mexican village just go ahead and book your stay. Or keep reading. . . Marilyn cooks amazing plant based foods with fresh from the nets seafood. So fresh because she helps one of the local fisherman everyday and takes home part of the catch! The creativity of her cooking and ability to improvise based on the guest is truly amazing. Our last morning there she walked in with a live lobster which was somehow promptly turned into an amazing lobster shiitake mushroom omelette. Some of the best food we have had has been at Marilyn's! And this doesn't take into her wonderful hosting, tour guiding and sharing insights into life. This is way more than just a place to stay. This is an experience you will be talking about for years and planning when your next trip back will be.

Amazing hospitality, I was soooo pampered the whole trip, Marilyn litteraly was reading my mind. We clicked from the first minute , she is an interesting person with a big heart and great soul. Marilyn and her cooking skills exceed the fact that there are no restaurants in the village. Local store is providing some decent wine (selection between white and red) and beer and some snacks. There is practically a private beach, where u can wear as few clothes as wished :) On arrival and departure be ready to get your feet wet as there is no pier, but usually a lot of hands to help out with the luggage. One of the neighbours was greeting me with a loud welcome through the speakers by playing bandamusic, I called it A Mexican Lovecry :D , next evenings we had the opportunity to play our own music so not bad at all. If u are a light sleeper then earplugs are useful due to the roosters and sounds of nature. Staying in Pizota feels like staying in a distant island, a very special feeling and vibe. I hope to be back in not so distant future. Absolutely an amazing experience!

Beautiful view of the ocean, with a space built for relaxing! It was easy to get comfy on the spacious balcony and kick back on a day bed or in a hammock. We even saw a few whales from there! Yet, with a location super close to all the beaches it's easy to go for a quick swim a short hike up the hill, or beach walk. And, being in "downtown" Pizota lent itself to getting to know folks in town and gave us quick access to the tiendas, domino games, and the pulse of the community. Also, if you love good food and want to be pampered, this is the spot. Delicious meals with a lot of care and attention to what you like and what's fresh (like fish caught the same day! Yum!!)

Pizota is a place for those who want to escape the crowds and connect with nature. From the beginning it can be a bit complicated to arrive and dock but the place and Marilyn makes everything worthwhile. She is amazing, attentive, interesting and delicious cuisine, guides you on the place and what you can find there. He was always very attentive and patient with us. Do not hesitate to book and live this great experience.

Pizota is a tiny fishing village just 15min from Yelapa, it’s an indigenous village with a sense of community. Marilyn’s place is right in the center of the village, it has a spacious roof terrace and a comfortable double room. Life is simple in Pizota, we kayaked, read, hiked and saw whales and turtles. Marilyn always found ways to treat us with something special, be it amazing food or her incredible stories. Thank you Marilyn for being such a warm and wonderful host!

Wow! Book this place!! Man, where do I begin? From start to finish (and even after finish--Marilyn was so helpful and patient when I had some frustrating issues meeting up with friends after I left her place, when I imagine most hosts wouldn't feel the need to be so responsive and helpful), it was such a pleasant experience that ticked off every box I was looking for on this particular trip. I wanted to get away from any semblance of city living, not think for a few days, and immerse myself in a jungle beach paradise. From the minute I got off the plane, Marylin helped me through the process of getting out of Puerto Vallarta and to magical Pizota, just a short 45-minute boat ride away. You don't have to think about transportation, food, or any other stressors that usually make a trip less than perfect. She generously shares all her goodies/cooking talents, from cookies to cheesecake to delicious exotic meals (she can cook it all!). If you don't want to, you won't have to lift a finger. She'll top off your coffee or iced green tea as you chill on a hammock or before you set off on her awesome kayak to explore the closeby beaches or snorkel around the coral. If anything comes up, you can trust Marylin to take care of it: I overdid it my first day there and started showing signs of sunstroke, to which Marylin immediately knew how to respond. So, trust me--she is the one you want hosting you in a small-town paradise/jungle setting if you are the type to have any safety or health concerns. She is super respectful of your space but like other reviews here, I think the most awesome part is spending time with Marilyn herself--swapping stories or learning a bit more about the area you're visiting, beyond what the guidebooks could ever tell you. It's a trip you'll leave feeling much more enriched and connected to the community than you might if you spent the whole time in a more traditional or hotel-like setting. I would 100% recommend this stay to family, friends, and anyone in between. In fact, I think this just may have to be my new 4th of July tradition! So go book your trip with Marilyn! You won't regret it.

Marilyn and Pizota! Hands down! Above and beyond! So much to say! For one, Marilyn met us at the airport twice! Because I missed my flight! Took us shopping to pick up supplies and fed us like kings and queens with flavors that reminded me that I was actually in a remote village being served rich and healthy food. Can’t say enough! She’s a storyteller and a world class chef. Thank you Marilyn for your amazing hospitality. The village beaches are very sweet and the village sound track very authentic while mellow and respectful. The view!!!! We highly recommend staying!

We have spent 3 beautifull nights at Pizota Beach. Marilyn is so a perfect host. She is cooking very well and feeling you at home. It was a pleasure to discuss with her about everything. Her place is super authentic and feel you completely disconnected from your world. An adventure to try at least once in his life (even if dogs and cocks are not discreet ;) )

I’ve stayed at a lot of AirBnb’s before, I’ve been an experienced host myself, stayed in many places in Yelapa before and this is hands down the best experience I’ve had as a guest and in Yelapa. Our liason to the host, Rangel, exceeded expectations in every way possible. I can’t say enough positive feedback so I’d encourage you to have your own experience. The place is in town a little ways and there are many steps for those that are less willing to want to exert theirselves. It was nothing too difficult as we were in good shape, just a heads up if you have difficulty getting around as is.

Awesome hosts with a passion for the area! The view was incredible! The true Yelapa experience. Would recommend.

I loved my week in Yelapa at Michaela's! It was an adventure and respite all at the same time. Yelapa is a wonderful little town and Michaela's place is a great way to experience it. The place would be hard to find on your own but I was graciously met by her partner when I arrived who walked me there to give me the lay of the land. He was very helpful and kind and offered assistance with anything I needed. You actually walk through his family's outdoor kitchen to get to the space. They are kind and welcoming and it was not an issue at all. The apartment is so lovely and sits at the very back of town, nestled up to the jungle so you have a view of everything! There are some narrow, steep stairs to get there but when you do, it is wonderful. It was quiet, clean and had all the necessary amenities. The view is spectacular and coffee in the sun every morning on the open veranda was amazing. While it is relatively quiet, the roosters and other birds are fairly active so turn on the fan or bring some ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. I found it rather charming and didn't really hear them after a while. Bird watching from the veranda is top notch and green parrots and other birds spend time in the trees just in front of apartment. If you are looking for a lovely space with all the amenities and an authentic experience in Yelapa, then I would highly recommend Casa Kokopelli! I will definitely stay there again on my next visit. Gracias!

Great hospitality and location. Yelapa is such a cute town and will not disappoint. Stayed for a week but could easily stay forever.

We love Yelapa and a big part of it is staying in a place like this with its open-air kitchen, dining and living areas (all covered by a roof) overlooking the beautiful bay and beach, very clean and comfortable bedrooms and bathroom, and five-minute walk to the private Garcia Rentals beach. Casa Berita is really only a short walk to everywhere in Yelapa, though still private and quiet. It’s our idea of perfect accommodations, especially if you like to do some of your own cooking. We spend as much time relaxing at Casita Berita as we do on the beach – I highly recommend it!

Great space. Great location.

Perfect place in Yelapa. It will not disappoint. Super quiet.

Wonderful! This place is great! Amazing view, super clean, and the host was really friendly! Highly recommended this place.

We highly recommend this great spot- a hammock, crashing waves, beautiful views from the open living area... clean and inviting. Will definitely return.

Fantastic views from this well-appointed apartment! The soothing sound of the ocean waves is definitely something I could get used to. Lots of great restaurants, local markets, excellent service, and friendly people. Be sure to bring cash (pesos is best) as most places don't accept credit cards and if they do, there's an additional fee of 5-7%. We'll be back!

Yuri and family are amazing people. They were very responsive to our needs and helpful. We as Guest did the ultimate Sin and arrived early. Yuri was very gracious allowed us to come in early. And then we did the ultimate sin again and asked to stay a Little later, again Yuri was gracious and allowed us to stay a little later which helped us a lot. Casa Berita Is a fantastic location with a magnificent view. Swinging in the Hammock During the day Or listening to the waves during the night was mellow and most peaceful. The price was right lovely stay, we would definitely love to come back again.

It is a spectacular accommodation, it has a view that in few places in the world

We love staying at Garcia’s and recommend their place to anyone who asks. Great hospitality, lovely beach and the staff is wonderful!

We loved our stay at the Garcia Rentals. Yelapa is a magical place and it's so special to have a full view of the main beach and surrounding mountains. You are steps from the beach and a short walk to town- a perfect location. We had our 1 year old daughter and we were provided with a travel crib which is a very nice feature. There was also papaya in the fridge upon arrival which was delicious. The bed was firm and comfortable. If traveling in the winter remember to bring warm clothing for for early mornings and night time. We will be back for sure. Thank you for your hospitality!

When we stay in Yelapa, it’s never long enough. Garcia’s is a great place to stay, amazing view, clean rooms, full amenities and great people. The beach out front is a nice place to spend the day. The beds at all of the Garcia unit’s we’ve stayed in are very comfortable. We love staying here and will be back soon!

Erik and García Rentals were the best hosts ever!! The apartment is in the perfect location, had the most amazing views, and the best use of space. The living room is the most epic place to hang out and it was right on the best part of the beach. We all loved it so much. We could live there year round! Thank you so much for hosting us!! (A note* make sure to ask for a mosquito net if you’re sleeping on one of the outdoor beds!)

We we loved our stay at Garcia rentals! It was a very magical and amazing place to stay! Location was excellent as it was right on the beach with chairs and umbrellas included and easy walking to the town and restaurants. My 6 year old loved playing in the waves at the beach and exploring the town. The only problem was that we didn't stay long enough!Next time we will stay at least a week!

All good with us. We loved this place. Would totally stay here again. Matteo was the best possible host.

Pedro’s Cabaña Del Medio is perfectly placed directly on the beach. If you enjoy cooking and bring most all of your supplies to include food, alcohol, headlights, LED candles, etc. - you’re all set! We purchased fresh fish from the local fishermen and visited the two local tiendas for basics - local yard eggs, jalapeños, onions, garlic, etc. We took the panga and visited Yelapa for a day trip. We enjoyed kayaking several days, exploring the surrounding area and visiting with friends and new acquaintances. Simple Pleasures...Placeres Simples You’ll love it here...we always do...❤️ Already planning our return...👏🥂🌞

We stayed for three nights before we went to an all-inclusive in PV and didn't want to leave! Our second stay here was better than the frst! Already planning our return! This is not for everyone, but for the adventurous, it's a perfect vacation from the world!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Pedro's place. The location is incredible and Mateo is a fantastic host that communicates clearly and consistently and is always available. The only downside of our stay was the weather (wind and rain) which limited our ability to enjoy the beach and other natural beauty in Pizota.

Living so close to nature was an absolute pleasure, hearing the waves crash at night was incredible. The bed in the loft was super comfy, the shower was hot and had great pressure. Mateo, the co-host was amazing, putting the super in super-host. He showed us ‘downtown’ and was always ready to help when needed. Mateo introduced us to a beautiful local woman who cooked marvellous daily lunches for us. We unfortunately didn’t bring as many groceries as we should have but she was able to supplement ingredients we were lacking. On occasion the noise and lights from the rental property just above and behind were noticeable. In addition, tourists come through daily from 12pm to 4pm and set up nearby. Aside from that it was an idyllic vacation. I highly recommend it.

It's a lovely spacious, open palapa right on one of the beaches of a quiet small fishing village, it's peaceful, rustic and authentic, Mateo was very friendly and helped us with our luggage, getting us grocery and a bottle of mezcal. We enjoyed looking at the stars, watching the waves, and heading out on the kayak, we saw whales, mobulas and dolphins. The waves can get very big and loud, then it's best to launch the kayak from the main beach of the village, it also gets pretty damp so bring sealable plastic bags for storing the electronics.

The pictures don’t do this place justice, it is absolute gorgeous!! Make sure you grab some groceries before you come, there’s a little store that had simple things and kind of depended on the day of what they had but we mostly went there to get beer and cookies! Falling asleep to the ocean waves crash down was no problem for us, some nights they were louder than others. Saw two whales right out front and we brought our fishing pole and caught a lot of fish and made tacos... gave the pole to one of the local kids who hung out with us a few days. And if you ask the tours that come during the day for some food they will probably give you some :)

An amazing luogo

The view of this cabin is spectacular, it has a small terrace that faces the beach and gives you unbeatable views. The details and layout of the house are in very good taste. Chonchos beach and the other beach that is on one side about 10 minutes walk are magical and perfect to relax and get in touch with the sea and nature. Yes. Doubt a place that we will never forget. Likewise, any questions that we asked were answered, very kind and the total willingness of the hosts to assist us. Many thanks!

This place is amazing, different than anywhere I’ve ever stayed. If you like nature than it’s the place for you. Just be aware you are literally sleeping in the jungle, lol. The beach, views, sound of the waves can’t be beat. It’s a very remote location so bring anything you might need. We had some minor issues but Sean and the on site staff did there best to sort it all out asap as soon as we let them know.

We loved this position and the house and the souroundings. It was no joke that it was in the middle of nowhere. But it was amazing.

If you’re looking for a getaway this is the right place to go. Everything was great, since the beginning Sean kept an excellent communication and helped me no matter the time; his house has all that you need to spend a delightful time, the view is amazing, the sunsets to die for, the sounds of the waves crashing at night are so relaxing and the beaches around are incredible. This is a place i will never forget and that I am already looking forward to come back.

No words can begin to describe the palapa experience we just had. We were greeted on the beach and helped off the boat with our bags. Chilino let us into the palapa and I was absolutely blown away. You wouldn't imagine something so well decorated out in the middle of nowhere. You can tell they put so much effort into bringing the comforts from home out there. We went during off season and there were very few people around, which is what we were looking for. If you bring food from PV you have a fridge and everything you need to cook with. We also hiked to Chimo for dinner and the food and environment in that small city was amazing, there is also small store there if you forget basic items.This is the jungle though, so everything outside seemed to move, but we made friends with lots of crabs and frogs, haha! There are two beaches we visited, "little beach" and "big beach," and both are absolutely beautiful for snorkeling or kayaking (all the equipment is there for your use.) If you need anything at all, or have any concerns, there is wifi available and Sean will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of and safe out there. Jesus was also available to help if we needed anything! We will absolutely be back!

Great communication and everything was better than pictured/described in the listing! I booked this after my last kidney cancer appointments because I wanted to go somewhere as far away as possible from kidney cancer. I zoomed out of Puerto Vallarta on Airbnb and found Casa Verde in Los Chonchos. No A/C, jungle, beach, solar energy, mountain spring water, only accessible by boat, rainy season, and all of the internet telling you to not go in July. I'm leaving this review to encourage you to not be afraid of the heat/rain/bugs if you are thinking of going in July. We were there 12 nights and lived our best lives on a mostly secluded beach - only 4 of the days were there other guests at Los Chonchos. We had amazing (and large portions) breakfasts and dinners prepared for us by Alfonso, watched every sunset, and slept to the sounds that make up my sound machine. It was hot, but we cooled down with cold mountain spring water and the ocean. It rained, but usually in the evening - just adding to the perfect sound machine soundtrack. We would absolutely stay at Casa Verde again.

Rustic and extremely romantic. This place was absolutely amazing and we’ll be returning. All of the previous reviews were accurate. Let Sean handle details. We were picked up at PVR by Jesus and taken to the market (bring in all of your groceries). Then Jesus took us to the boat in Boca. If you get the water taxi it’s much cheaper than a probate boat, but the last water taxi leaves Boca at 3. Once you get to the palapa, there are a few basic spices and all cooking gear. There is a fridge and freezer, ice cube trays, and food bins. Keep things inside the storage bins! One night a critter got the end of our avocado and a jalapeño that we left on the counter. But it was nothing. Cute, even. Be prepared for mosquitos. Nuff said about that. We are fairly healthy and active outdoor-type Oregonians; the hike to Chimo was indeed strenuous in the heat (90 degrees). We kept looking at other reviews saying “how strenuous could it be?” The truth? Strenuous. TAKE WATER. But the trek to Chimo was worth it. We found a ripe mango on the ground and ate it along the way. Dinner at Arturo’s in Chimo was truly fabulous. The restaurant was a super laid back. The whole town is. During the low season, the weather in Los Chonchos is really amazing. The sea kayak was great for getting to the big beach on the other side of the point. The snorkeling was incredible and we so appreciated being able to use all of the equipment. Added plus? A blender. Pick up some Jumex with your liquor of choice at the market in PV in your way to Boca. Voila! Blended drinks. Yes. You will get mildly wet getting in and off the boat (arriving and departing Los Chonchos. Yes. The view is spectacular. Yes. Go. Do it. If you like third tier glamping, you’ll love this place. Put everything you need (which for me means a sundress, a sarong, a long sleeved shirt for kayaking, two swimsuits, Birks, water shoes, bug spray, hair conditioner, sunscreen and tennis shoes for the hike) in a backpack, grab your groceries and go. Don’t forget your guitar. We will be back. Thank you, Sean, Rachel, Chillemo, Rueben, and Jesus.

Loved staying at Palapa Verde! Third trip here, but first at Sean’s palapa. The new lounging hut with hammock and two lounges was great, and the space had everything we needed for a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable trip!

Amazing location and very clean space! Would definitely stay again

Yelapa dreams

The place is spacious and of good quality, especially when compared to other places in the area.

I was staying at Soccoro's place on the 2nd floor then moved up to the 3rd floor. It's bigger, brighter nicer and fancier. View forever. A great spot!

Firstly I have to say that I like the place so much that I added 8 more days. Yelapa is wonderful and Sicorro's place is centrally located 1 minute from stores and restaurants and 1 minute from the beach. I think it's my first Airbnb experience where the place was bigger and nicer than I thought it would be. She responds very quickly and her sister and family are right there.

Nice house, very well equipped, good attention

Great place ,full kitchen and close to everything...Excellent wifi...This place is fully recommended...The bed is comfy and great hot water shower...

Perfect little spot to get to know Yelapa. Couldn’t be happier with everything!
