About this property

Oceanview Retreat, Steps to Malecon & Zona Romantica

Casa Agave Azul is a beautiful oceanview villa perched above Banderas Bay in the heart of El Centro, just three blocks from Puerto Vallarta’s iconic Malecón. Wake up to sweeping views of the city and ocean stretching all the way to the Marieta Islands, then stroll out your door to explore restaurants, galleries, beaches, nightlife, and the charm of Zona Romántica all within easy walking distance.

The villa offers bright, open living spaces designed for relaxing and spending time together, with multiple ensuite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and an expansive terrace overlooking the bay. It’s the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and vibrant Puerto Vallarta energy.

Fast, reliable WiFi, hot showers with private ensuites in every bedroom, comfortable high-quality bedding, and a kitchen stocked with cooking essentials make it easy to settle in and feel at home.

Inspired by traditional Mexican Hacienda style and thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, the home has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The open-concept layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas directly to the outdoor terrace, allowing natural light and ocean breezes to flow throughout the space.

Outside, the spacious terrace is made for enjoying the views. Lounge by the private pool, gather for outdoor meals, or relax with a drink at the poolside bar as the sun sets over Banderas Bay. Whether you're starting the day with coffee on the terrace or unwinding poolside with a book, the space invites you to slow down and savor the moment.

The four-bedroom layout is ideal for groups who want both shared spaces and privacy, as each bedroom feels far from the other.

Step outside and you’re minutes from Puerto Vallarta’s incredible dining scene, from beachfront palapas and casual taco stands to acclaimed restaurants and lively bars along the Malecón and nearby streets. It’s the perfect home base for experiencing the flavors, culture, and energy of the city.

We look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable stay in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

Traveling with a larger group? Our neighboring 3-bedroom villa, Casa Agave Rosa, can be rented together with Casa Agave Azul to create an expansive 7-bedroom retreat that's ideal for family gatherings or trips with friends.

Great air con considering high humidity Housekeepers were wonderful pool and hot tub were glorious and kept clean The location was perfect if you are up for stair climbing, the seniors managed quite well. The kitchen was a little rustic, bowls and plates were chipped. The microwave and toaster oven are in an awkward corner, but the charm of the villa made up for it! Plenty of body wash, dish soap and laundry supplies but shampoo was non existent. Some electrical outlets were a little sketchy. We were allowed to safely store our luggage until we went to the airport. Overall a stellar getaway and would not only recommend but would love to come again!

Our group of 4 couples really enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa. We each had our own bedroom with ensuite bathroom and AC. There was lots of room in the kitchen and living area to easily accommodate all of us and we really enjoyed dinners outside by the pool The location was perfect - close to the Malecon, restaurants and stores yet still nice and quiet. It was very clean on our arrival and we enjoyed having staff come twice a week to keep it that way. Our hosts were very accessible and attentive to our questions and requests. We would definitely recommend this villa!

The house is very conveniently located a few blocks up from the Malecon. Gorgeous view from the master bedroom and from the pool since the house is on a hill. Bring your hiking shoes for the walk back up to the house! We really enjoyed having our own pool and never even went to the beach. The hot tub does take a long time to warm up and is a little noisy.The house is tiled in traditional Mexican style. Plenty of space between all the bedrooms for the 8 of us if you’re happy sharing a bed. We put one of the kids on the large sofa. We would definitely choose to stay there again next time we’re in PV.

What a perfect escape conveniently located for a balanced getaway.

We had the best time! There was great communication from the host. They greeted us at the Villa with fresh salsa and guacamole then gave us a quick tour and instructions on how to work everything. The location was perfect we were within walking distance to pretty much everything you needed. We will be booking again when we return to Puerto Vallarta!

We recently stayed at Villa de los Rios for a 40th birthday celebration with a group of friends, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish.From the moment we booked, the hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, check-in was a breeze—Ted welcomed us personally with fresh guacamole, salsa, and some great local tips to help us make the most of our stay.The villa itself is stunning—comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed. The pool quickly became our favorite hangout spot—ideal for cooling off during the day and the perfect place to watch the breathtaking Puerto Vallarta sunsets in the evening.The location is very conveniently located. Surrounded by delicious restaurants, cute shops,, and a short walk to the Zona Romántica.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-managed home base in PV with top-notch hospitality, Villa de los Rios is it!

Great property in heart of Puerto Vallarta

Great experience at this well located property. Enjoyed the pool, the view and the neighborhood was great. So many restaurants near the location it was hard to choose and some of the smaller and cheaper places had the best Mexican food. The AC worked well, the kitchen was well appointed and if you have your grocery staples of fruit, Veggies, meats and cheeses you will get high quality items using their delivery recommendation. Nice check in process and greeted us with fresh fruit, guacamole and a six pack of beer. Wonderful stay!

The Villa was absolutely incredible! From the amazing views to the authenticity of the Villa. Stunning!! The location is PERFECT! Literally a couple blocks from the Malecón. Uber rides to and from are very easy and super cheap! Ted and his wife have everything you would ask for awaiting at the Villa and are very quick to respond to you! This was our first time to PV but it will not be our last! We will stay here again and again. They provide car service options along with wonderful Chefs! I have traveled to a lot of places and this was by far one of my favorites. The PEOPLE are SO nice, everywhere you go, everyone is so welcoming! I was a little concerned about safety just because it’s “Mexico” but let me tell you, we felt safer in PV than I do in my own city. Everyone loved it so much and we all agreed we would most definitely be back! Highly recommend booking this as soon as possible! Very thankful we found this gem!

Fantastic views, great service and close to everything Vallarta!

The house by far is one of the best maintained and cleanest rentals we have experienced in our 20 years of vacationing in PV. The views from the pool/patio are fantastic and it's only a two block walk to the male con and all that downtown Vallarta has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Miles Mitchinson

Host profile image
We've been enjoying Puerto Vallarta over the past 20 years and finally decided to purchase a beautiful property here and share it with family, friends, and travelers to the area. We split our time between Vancouver in the summer and Puerto Vallarta in the winter and really love both places.

Why they chose this property

One thing we love about Puerto Vallarta is how unique each little neighborhood is. This is our favorite because it's so walkable and it retains the Mexican character that we enjoy so much. Hidden little bodegas, galleries, and unique shops, without any modern glass towers. And it's a short walk to all the most popular areas like the Malecon and Zona Romantica. The best of both worlds - convenient location, with real Mexican charm.

What makes this property unique

The incredible unobstructed view will take your breath away! The house has so much character, with plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy the inside and outside areas. The layout ensures that each bedroom feels very private too.
