About this property
Luxurious beachfront penthouse! Panoramic views, white sand beach, private pool
Welcome to my beach home! This 6-unit development built in 2016 boasts just one condo per floor, underground parking with private elevator that opens directly into the unit. Decks are enclosed with glass railings and massive floor-to-ceiling windows afford unobstructed views of Banderas Bay, Sierra Madre mountains, and Marina Riviera Nayarit. Secured by a gated electronic entry, the property also includes a common area with lush landscaping, a large Palapa pool house with dining area and Weber grill, an infinity pool, lounge area and outdoor shower. The white sand beach is just steps beyond the secure glass railing, and all within walking distance of restaurants, night life and the Sunday marketplace.
The Penthouse is a modern 2-bed/2-bath unit with 2 large covered terraces offering nearly 1780 sq. feet of luxury living. A wonderful mix of Mid Century modern and Mexican inspired furnishings provides the ultimate in relaxation in this professionally decorated space. Lounge on the terrace, listen to the waves lap the shore, catch a glimpse of a whale, watch the sailboats bob in the anchorage and the luxury yachts sail through the marina.
The Penthouse also includes a private 1000 sq. foot rooftop terrace. Glass railings provide a spectacular view of the bay and marina. The private plunge pool with fountain is the perfect place to cool off after sunning on chaise lounges. Watch the Frigate birds catch air over the deck. Mix a drink or prepare a snack in the outdoor kitchen and wet bar. Read a book or nap under the shade of the pergola. Trust me, you won't want to leave!
The town of La Cruz is still a small fishing village but boasts many excellent restaurants, both casual and gourmet. It is home to the extremely popular Sunday Artisan Market. Enjoy an evening of music at one of the music venues. The condo is a short easy stroll to the world class "Marina La Cruz" which is still home to the local fishing fleet. You will find an expansive daily fish market, lovely restaurants, and multiple day charter opportunities for fishing, sailing, and bay exploration.
Note! Unfortunately most of the quaint homes on the beach have been taken down for condo development. Three condos and a large private home have gone up. There are 2 lots left and we are getting new neighbors to the south.

Wasn’t our first stay, and certainly not our last! Cherly’s place is paradise. The kitchen is a chef’s dream. The rooftop pool is a sun seeker’s refuge. We love the people of La Cruz and got to check out the La Cruz Market this past Sunday and it was incredible!

Thank you so much for taking time to review my Mexico home. I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay.
We had an incredible stay at Cheryl’s La Cruz home! Cheryl is absolutely amazing with communication—quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and full of great suggestions for boating- (booked with Antonio for a private day of whale watching—best day ever!), restaurants (tried almost all of her suggestions and none disappoint) and anything else you might need during your stay, she’s got you!The condo itself is outstanding. It’s beautifully appointed, packed with amenities, and thoughtfully stocked with all the comforts of home. The kitchen is especially impressive—perfect for anyone who loves to cook, with plenty of space and everything a chef could want- just grab some fresh caught fish from the market and grill up some delicious dinners. Between the stunning beachfront setting, the luxurious condo, and Cheryl’s top-notch hosting, this place truly exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend staying here and we will happily return.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
Fantastic condo with views of Puerto Vallarta. Truly excellent food in the fish market next door. We loved the private pool and sitting on the patio, enjoying the views with our espresso in the mornings.

Thank you for your review Aaron. Come back anytime!
Our stay in this condo was so easy and seamless. It’s quiet, nicely located on the beach, and next door to the marina. We enjoy walking into La Cruz for dinner each evening after hanging out in the pool all day.
Enjoyed our stay in comfortable, well appointed condo with a great view. Host was great and easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our day trips to Punta de Mita and Saulita and loved the authentic food and local people we met in La Cruz.

Thank you for taking the time to review Tim. Much appreciated!
Loved Cheryl’s condo! Great views of the marina and the bay, and the deck top pool was super relaxing. The unit had everything we needed to grill up some fish and shrimp from the market, and close to town for the nights we decided to eat out (and we highly recommend Masala’s for dinner). Would stay there again.

Thank you so much for your review Shamane. Glad you enjoyed my home!
The complete experience was flawless! The place is absolutely beautiful! The process was easy and keeping in touch with the owner was a piece of cake! Very responsive! Can’t wait to stay there again some day!
With Covid This unit being a Vrbo it feels much safer than a huge resort with hundreds of people around , the roof top pool adds to the feeling of real privacy
The town was great they take health safety very seriously Lots of great restaurants
Did not turn the TV for the whole 11 days
That says a lot for the natural beauty that is there to enjoy from any of the outdoor spaces it has offer
The management was great very helpful with setting up transfers from airport and for outings
Loved this place !!!!

Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Enjoyed this location in La Cruz where the people are friendly and inviting.
Both Cheryl and the building manager Michel go above and beyond to respond to any enquiries or help you out with any situation ( including picking and getting my ipad fixed)
