Great Location

Fun condo with great views. Very comfortable and clean. On-premise staff was very helpful. My quads were in much better shape after the week and the stairs (we counted 156), but Ubers were readily available. Highly recommended.

Love it!

Jim was an excellent host and I love the property. I especially love the charm of the building and the view! The view of the bay is magnificent and I have missed it each day since. The floor plan is very comfortable. It is very convenient to the beach and all the nearby restaurants and shops in lower Amapas as well as the rest of the Romantic Zone. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

PV stay at Suite Claudia

Jim was very good about communication all the way through the process The condo is in good condition, the bathroom shower could use some scrubbing. The location was convention to the beach and old town. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the condo building itself.

Lovely stay

Spent a week in Jim’s condo in March 2018. Never met Jim, but he was very good at communicating prior to and during our stay. The condo is light and has a lovely view. Easy walk TO the beach, restaurants, and other activities in Zona Romántica, but plenty stairs on the way home....our legs got a really good workout! Surprisingly quiet at night considering the closeness to beach bars. Super friendly building manager, Luis, speaks very good English. Only drawback would be that pool is mostly in the shade and therefore stays rather cold. Thanks Jim for sharing your casa!

A million dollar view, condo and staff!

We just spent three weeks in PV staying at this condo. The balconies faced the Pacific and we spent many an evening and morning watching the sun set and the ships and boats glide across the calm morning waters. The apartment had all the conveniences necessary for a short or long stay: new stove and oven, new air conditioning units (although since the sliders faced the ocean we barely used it because of the cool air off the ocean), large refrigerator, and microwave. the cable tV gave us all the needed US stations we wanted and then some and the free house telephone connected to the US because our cell phones wouldn't. The condo was spacious and roomy and comfortably furnished. There was enough storage space for clothes and luggage for an army. We never suffered from a lack of hot water for showering and the bathroom was beautifully designed. Katrina, the housekeeper, and Oswaldo, the building manager, were incredibly helpful and worked round the clock to keep us comfortable. Even when I told Katrina not to come everyday she mopped the floors, washed the dishes and made the beds anyway each day. The pool was quite cold but we found it very refreshing after coming off the beach. We also felt quite safe in the building because the entire building is iron gated and there is no way to get in except for a key. Spiderman couldn't even get over, through or under it. We often left our entry door open at night because it was so cool and it was also iron gated as were the windows. The building is also located right down the hill from all the restaurants, bars, beach, and shops which was extremely convenient. And there is a small but fully stocked small market at the base of the steps. But the is far enough away from the action to be quiet at night. The only down side to this condo are the STEPS to get to and from the condo. They were killers. They are steep, and high. There were 212 to get down to the beach and 78 to get to the main street. However, there is a longer route to both the beach and town that only involves hills and there are always taxis everywhere and we never spent more than five dollars to take back and forth. So if you have any health, or walking issues, or you have small children be cautious. The owner, James, is super friendly and helpful to deal with, and wants to make sure your stay is wonderful so will call and text you throughout your stay to make sure it is. And we had a blast!

Lovely Condo

We wished we could have stayed longer! Everything was exactly as described in listing no unexpected surprises. We knew about the road ( not that noisy) and the roof top night club, it’s to the side of the building not directly in front and they didn’t have music every night, and the steepness (we took a taxi or Uber up to the condo if we were tired) read the reviews. A lovely place and the owner James was so nice and helpful

Perfect Getaway!

This was our first visit to PV and it was incredible. First of all, James was above and beyond when it came to helping us out. We had some odd hiccups when traveling in Mexico. I appreciated James helping us out and staying in contact while we adapted to the circumstances. It relieved a tremendous amount of stress. The location was perfect for walking the neighborhood, going to the beach, connecting to the Malecon, or catching ubers. The local restaurants are amazing. The small store at the bottom of the hill had fresh made beans, rice, and salsas that we stocked up on regularly. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. The pool was a nice break after hot days. We loved everything about it and would stay her again without hesitation. Just a few notes: PV has small sidewalks, cobblestone streets, hills, and large curbs. This place is located at the top of a hill that requires navigating down steps regularly. We got our workout in everyday and did not have much of a problem, but could be an issue for someone who has more mobility problems. Also, the area is very quiet and charming. However, there is a rooftop bar across the way that has nightly performances. They start at 9 and finish at 11. The good news is that I didn't mind the sets and they did shut down promptly at 11, but if you are someone who goes to sleep early-- bring earplugs. Finally, there is no washing machine or dryer. There are laundry services nearby. We have a packable laundry "machine" bag that allows us to quickly hand wash loads of clothes and hang to dry. We did that for 10 days and it was fine for us. Otherwise, perfect for an adventurous/active couple looking for a nice place as a base camp to explore PV. We also highly recommend the PV eats taco tour. Thank you again to our incredible host James!!

James, Thanks for being a part of my stay in PV unforgettable. It was a slice of paradise I will never forget. Not only was the location perfect. But the staff and neighbours were incredibly welcoming, I came for almost a month to ork remotely and enjoy the warmth while my hometown froze. The trip was everything I could ask for and more. Perfect location. Close to everything you'd want. Thank you for everything. I will be back! Kris

Exceptionally tastefully decorated and fully equipped condo with unobstructed view to the bay. Everything corresponds exactly to the description on VRBO. What is particularly noteworthy: James, the caring and attentive host, and his super friendly and dedicated staff on site, especially the maintenance and the housekeeping.

We had a great stay.

Fantastic view and comfortable place to hang out. Owner is easy to communicate with. Easy to get to via taxi or uber from the airport or marina. Great location for walking to everything you need, stores, restaurants, laundry and ATMs. Do be prepared to do the steps. We do daily hikes on hills in the woods at home so it wasn't so bad for us (plus we didn't gain any weight!) It is true that there is loud music coming from the two places nearby but the view made it worth it. Music pretty much stops right at 11 pm. We closed doors at bedtime until we woke up to quiet so we can enjoy the sound of the ocean below and the fresh air. Apparently much of Zona Romantica can be noisy at night so you may want to bring ear plugs if that's a big issue to you. It wasn't a total deal breaker for us. We would recommend staying here.

Lovely Condo in a Small Building with a Beautiful View

This was my first stay at a VRBO, James the owner was amazing, he sent us the key in advance, which I forgot to bring! In transit, James jumped on arrangements to get on site staff to let us in. After a long day of travel, staff opened the doors to the most beautiful view of the bay, from the living room and bedroom. He also sent us in advance a very detailed journal with the names of staff, where to buy supplies and places to eat, including the sweet market walking distance from the condo with the best guacamole! The condo is very nicely furnished, and the kitchen has everything you could need to make a lovely meal to enjoy on the deck with the view. Seeing the little boats on the bay each morning was so great and the fireworks most nights was special. The location is central to all the restaurants, shops and the beach - fantastic! Love this place and hope to come back soon.

Can I just live here forever? Amazing experience!

No wonder this place has perfect 5-star reviews; it truly is a 5-star experience. My partner and I stayed here for a whole month just to live somewhere and work remotely elsewhere. So it was super important to be in a place that was comfortable and had everything we needed and then some. Jim was super communicative well before our trip and the check-in process couldn't have been easier. The place had everything we needed; a full functioning kitchen with plenty of cookware, high speed WiFi (it was over 100 mbps SO PLENTY), and a fully functioning bathroom. The location was fantastic too; close enough to all the activity but far enough that it was quiet and local. The best part were the staff-David, Karina, and Oswaldo; just such friendly and helpful faces you get to see every day and they made our stay that much more memorable. I'd come back here without a doubt.

Location Location Location.

My husband and I visited Puerto Vallarta for New Years this year and loved PV so much we wanted to go back for PV Gay Pride. We knew this time we wanted to stay in the heart of the Zona Romantica where the majority of gay bars, restaurants, and special events take place. James’s place was perfectly located. The condo was a five minute walk to the gay beach clubs and a five minute walk to the heart of the Zona Romantica, which made the condo far enough away from the boom boom boom of the early morning hours, but close enough to never miss a beat. The condo is on the third floor and has amazing views of the ocean from its living room and master bedroom terraces. I spent most mornings out on the bedroom terrace, waking up with morning coffee, texting with envious friends back home, and watching the fishing boats and tourist yachts come and go along the beachfront. Not a bad way to start the day. The condo has all the necessities: comfortable beds, great WiFi, air conditioning, and a nice basic kitchen, fully furnished. The staff was always a pleasure to talk to and promptly responded to any requests. The condo is well maintained and kept very clean. We only checked in with James a couple of times during our stay and he was always quick to respond. We always felt confident if we had any issues (we didn’t), James would take care of everything. Staying at James’s place really made the crazy fun vacation complete. My husband and I plan to visit PV a lot in the future, and we will always stay at James’s place.

Gorgeous sunset view

Friendly staff, clean comfortable space. Unfortunately, I had my wallet stolen on day one and my friend had her iPhone stolen two days later. Luckily there’s a safe in the condo and we had our passports secure. There was loud music at night. The location is close to many restaurants, clubs, bars and shops. Very LBGQ environment. The condo was great. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed our evenings in the condo watching the sunset.
