Fabulous Property and staff

There were seven adults and the house was perfect for our group. The property and grounds were spotless upon our arrival and stayed that way throughout our week long stay. Denise, Paulina and Mariana were wonderful. We found coffee brewing when we awoke and breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes, toast, etc. each morning. Our host, Monica, was in touch and accessible, offering recommendations and help and asking if we needed anything. The property is well located within blocks of the beach, the grocery store, and many great shops and restaurants. We will return to this property at our very next oppurunity.

What an amazing home! Pool, rooms, kitchen, outdoor space, everything just incredible. Monica was easy to contact and quick to respond. Staff was extremely friendly and great at their jobs. We only had 2 meals prepared but they were great and plenty of food. Two blocks from the beach and walking distance to huge grocery store. If you are reading this and not booking now, your mistake!

Definitely recommend!

Our family visits this area of Mexico fairly regularly and rents properties each time. This home was an amazing place to stay and definitely one of our favorites! The layout of the home is unique and allows for everyone to have their own private space and bathroom which is a great feature for a group of adults. The staff really makes your stay extra amazing!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Tres Palapas and Denise and Geeja were so sweet. Definitely would stay again; location was great. One bedroom was a wee bit small for 4 couples but we made it work and loved our time there. Monica was great to deal with as was Nancy.

Excellent choice for a stay in Bucerias

There cannot be a better property in Bucerias. We had 10 family members from 3 different families, ranging in ages from 6 to 80. There was space enough for all of us to sleep very comfortably, there were a variety of living rooms and sections for everyone to relax, or play games, or chat. The pool was fantastic and a great break from the ocean. The location: literally 2.5 blocks from the ocean, with a super markets, corner stores, and restaurants within an easy 5 minute walk. The staff: incomparable. Other reviewers talk about the staff and how wonderful they are, but words cannot do them justice. They are kind, welcoming, and really good at their jobs. We've never had a vacation home with a chef before, and we're so glad we did. Monica: Monica is communicative - she answered every question that I had, and gave info when I wouldn't have thought to ask! I'm so grateful she suggested getting a golf cart; this was helpful for my parents to get down to the city center. Amenities: The pool had toys and rafts for the kids. There were beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand castle building supplies, games, and a cart to wheel it all down. There were many bathrooms in the house, and everything we need. I could have just packed a swimsuit and I would have been fine. This house had EVERYTHING. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Didn’t want to leave

8 of us sisters, nieces & partners stayed for 6 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. Enough room to have your own space and also fabulous choices of areas to hang out and socialize. Loved the upper patio in the morning for shade and ocean breeze. The pool area was great with a mix of Sun and shade. Easy access to the beautiful expansive beach. But what took this stay to the next level was care and food provided by Denis, Mariana and Paulina. Big thank you from all of us:)

Family Mexican vacation

Went on a trip with my three adult children, their partners and their babies. Babies were 3 months, 9 months and 20 months. House was perfect - each group had their own private room complete with ensuite. Pool was fabulous and a short walk to the beach. House supplied wagons, umbrellas etc. everything required for a successful beach day. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Our cook provided meals better than any restaurant. We were sorry to leave and would definitely book again.

Beautiful House

Fantastic house and property. We were on a friends trip with a group of 4 couples. All the rooms were great. The staff was very helpful and communication with the property manager and owner was excellent. This VRBO was well stocked with everything we needed and everything was in great condition. Located near the beach and is an easy walk to the public beach access. The house had a wagon and beach chairs that we were able to use.

Beautiful property!

Beautifully maintained property two blocks from the beach and close to shopping and restaurants! Jeff the property manager ensured that all our questions were answered. Frances kept the house spotless during her visits. She was also very careful to make sure we had our privacy which we appreciated. The view from the rooftop deck was gorgeous. We so appreciated Liana's communication and her attention to detail which made our 2018 Christmas in Bucerias incredibly memorable. Would highly recommend this property to families!

Stayed in main house.

My wife and I stayed in the Main house which is very nice and spacious- 2 levels. This is a very secure complex in a quiet neighborhood. Close to wonderful tucked away restaurants. The beach is very nice, well groomed and not crowded. Only two blocks away. In our opinion this property lends itself better to a family or group stay because the units are in very close proximity to one another around the pool and patio area. This is a very well kept, clean complex and Jeff the property manager is fantastic and always available to help with any questions we had.

Fantastic retreat!

This property was awesome! 6 of us had a quick stay here for just 2 nights. The pool was great. The house was very clean, with high end finishings. The master shower was heavenly!! Jeff was very helpful and friendly. One thing of note is that the bedroom in the office is very small. We only had 1 guy staying in there, but could see how it might be too small for a couple or for a long stay. Would definitely recommend this place and will hopefully be back! Thank you!!

We had 12 family members, we all fit comfortably in the house and external rooms. The set up was perfect. Denice the chef made us wonderful meals daily and accommodated for the little ones in the family. Guillermo who cleaned the house worked around the two littlest ones nap schedules and assured the cleaning was done to not disturbed them. They both made us so comfortable.

Best Vacation for All Ages

This was the best vacation experience I have ever had. We had 3 families ranging in ages from 5 to 55 staying at Monica's property and it was the perfect vacation place for all ages. Monica was responsive and awesome. She gave us a lot of great recommendations. Her excursion recommendations were fantastic. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. What really set this apart was the staff (Paulina & crew). They were friendly and helpful. They helped my kids learn some basic Spanish phrases to use around the house. I loved coming back from an excursion and my kids would hop into the pool for another few hours while Paulina made us adults the best margaritas to sip poolside. Meals were fantastic. We would hands down stay at Monica's property again and are so thankful for our entire experience. Thank you Monica, Paulina, and crew!

Very impressed

The condition and cleanliness of this home impressed me and that's hard to do. The pool is even larger than the pictures imply and it's beautifully kept. Liana is very responsive and offered a lot of helpful suggestions to be sure we enjoyed our trip to the greatest extent. It's completely outside of her control but there is construction next door though she was both proactive and responsive when we had a small issue with noise. The kitchens are well-equipped and you won't want for towels or linens if needed during your stay. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic top notch vacation

I just spent 23 lovely nights in this beautiful spot. The house is beautiful the outdoor spaces are beautiful but most wonderful of all are the staff, Denise and Guille Make sure that everything was perfect every day. The staff are what made our vacation amazing. The only issue we had was that the pool was not preheated before we got there, but that was a minor thing. The meals were absolutely wonderful, as were the drinks. Some of us were there to relax only and this property made that more than easy to do. Some of the guests were there for adventure and action and they were also able to find that within close proximity. every single one of us that were there would love to go back to the same property again. We love it there and I for one was very sad to come home

About the host

Hosted by Monica Chavez

Host profile image
I enjoy helping our guests enjoy their vacation. There is nothing they should have to worry about, because your on VACATION. I'm always available to our guests for home questions, to recommendations on the area of beautiful Bucerias. We have put our minds to work on what is needed to enjoy a home while on vacation with family or friends. Being a host/owner is about making sure our guests feel comfortable, and to exceed their expectations of a great vacation. I also enjoy the friendships I have built with our return guests.

Why they chose this property

We loved this home because its so spacious for that family vacation or friends getaway. An entire private home, with a rooftop view and heated pool. It had been a rental for the past 8 years, and the reviews were all great ones, so we knew guests enjoyed the property to the fullest. We decided to add that special touch from a private cook, and private staff, then included that in all our guest stays.

What makes this property unique

4400 sq. ft., Sleeps up to 16 guests. 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom. Quiet neighborhood, and walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants.
