We were a little worried about booking this place because it doesn't have many reviews, but our concerns were totally unfounded. This place is a hidden gem!
We booked the house for our family of 6, plus my in-laws over Thanksgiving break. The owner/property managers were super helpful and very responsive when we needed to add an additional day to our reservation.
The house is nicer and bigger than it looks in the pictures. It's beautiful, modern, clean, and super comfy. The A/C is excellent; the patios, backyard and pool a true oasis; the front gates gave us a feeling of security, the movie room and collection of movies was a fun bonus, the foosball table so fun. The rooms are spacious, comfy, and very nice. Everyone has their own bathrooms, A/C, ceiling fans, beds, and lots of space to spread out. The kitchen and dining rooms are nice and there's lots of room for everyone.
The only things I would recommend are more towels, and to stock the place with dish and laundry detergents. We had to buy that, but the market in Paradise Village is very close and the new La Comer store is nearby and very nice, so not a big deal. I'm glad we each brought a beach towel or we would have had to buy some, since there weren't enough at the house. Also, the neighbor dogs bark a lot. I know there's nothing the owners can do about that. It didn't bother me because we had the windows closed and the a/c on in the bedrooms at night, but it bothered my in-laws whose room was in the front of the house. Just an FYI.
Other than those minor things, everything was EXCELLENT and we will definitely be back.
The house is close to Vallarta Adventures HQ, tons of restaurants, gelato places, resorts, beautiful beaches and only 15 minutes from the airport/rental car places, and 25 from the boardwalk and downtown PV.
Recommendations:
* book excursions through Vallarta Adventures, they're the best company in the area
* eat at Los Nopalitos in the Paradise Village shopping center--great food and service
* shop at La Comer and/or Mega
* don't exchange dollars/pesos at the airport, go to a bank instead (you'll need your passport for this)
* if you want a super nice upscale dinner, go to Sonora Prime in Puerto Vallarta or Porta Bella for Italian on the marina.
* gelato at Buonissima is great
* chicken and potatos at El Pechugon is super cheap and soooo good
Overall, we loved this place and we'll be back! Gracias from the Turner Family!
