If a massage is what you want, you can walk up on the beach of Mismayloya or the staff will have a private one set up for you in the villa.

Happiest of fam times in a beautiful setting. Fantastic host and 11/10 to staff, Marco and Luis, Laura (oh the food! ) and Jess for all our housekeeping needs. Only suggestion… some screen protection for infinity pool edge and maybe a carpet in living room for tiny crawling knees. But small beer for such a wonderful, dreamy escape. Hard to leave. Just glorious!

Beyond Expectations

LS Peña’s is a stunning property with a responsive and helpful owner and full time staff that genuinely care about your comfort and making your stay special.The location is perfect for relaxing, watching the whales and Los Arcos just off your private deck, or just a short walk to a beautiful beach and a short taxi (that the staff can arrange) into town.We all had a blast, and each bedroom was as nice as the other, all with beautiful ocean views.We felt safe, private, peaceful, and close to all we wanted to do, and we can’t wait to return.Thank you Linda, Luis, Marco, Yessi, and Laura for making our stay so special!

Piece of Paradise!

This vacay home was a 12/10! The house is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. All the colorful decor makes it feel like a home, like you came to visit an aunt that lives in Puerto Vallarta. The views are amazing, waking up to an almost panoramic view of the ocean was 100% one of the best parts for me. The staff was also phenomenal! They really made our stay that much better. Its hard to go somewhere new and not know the best places to go to or how to get there but they do and they go above and beyond to make sure you really get the whole experience. We went on an all day boat ride to different beaches, horse back riding, hiking were they filmed the movie Predator, and also went on a Tequila tour. Marcos and Angeles were heaven sent everyday we were pampered like kings it was great. They really spoiled us! From the top notch service to the delicious meals this home checks off everything on the list for you and your family.

60th birthday celebration

We had an amazing stay at this villa. The staff were the best and provided everything we needed. You felt spoiled by them. Marco and Luis were spot on. They both made recommendations of where to go and what to do. Laura made amazing food and Jessie kept the villa spotless. The villa is beautiful. A 5 minute walk to Mismaloya or 20 minute bus ride to downtown PV. The sound of the bay along the shore was deafening at times but lulled you to sleep.Our only complaint was those darn mosquitoes. We would definitely return again.

We are always skeptical of reviews where all you hear is 5 stars and no problems. Well, Villa Las Penas is a 6 or a five star scale. The place is beautiful, the locations is spectacular, and the staff are the very best. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our stay and will definitely be there again.

Villa Las Peñas is THE BEST PLACE TO STAY in Mismaloya / Puerto Vallarta

Our stay at Villa Las Peñas was simply unforgettable! My husband, our 17-year-old, his friend, and I were blown away by how stunning the villa is—it's even more beautiful than the pictures. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.Marco was incredibly sweet and makes the BEST margaritas. Luis was amazing, helping us with a last-minute four-wheeler tour and even driving us to the tour bus. Laura's food? Absolutely incredible—I can't say enough about it! And Yessi ensured everything was spotless and pleasant.Working with the property owner, Linda, was a breeze. She was quick and efficient with booking details and replied promptly to any questions, even assisting us with the transportation company to locate my son's misplaced wallet.The views of Los Arcos are breathtaking, and this was our second time visiting Mismaloya. It was just as wonderful as before. We can't recommend this incredible retreat enough and hope to return soon!

Absolutely perfect vacation retreat!

We fell in love with this property! Fell asleep to the waves crashing against the rocks every night. Saw wales right off the shore most days. Staff was incredibly helpful and made us feel like royalty. Was about 20 minutes from town by Uber, but that had positives as well as negatives. :-) House was beautiful and super spacious.

Paradise with a view and amazing people

We stayed at the Villa for my wife's 42nd birthday. Not only was the Villa amazing the staff was great as well . My 18 month old son took to Marco (House Manager) and treated him like family. Marco was great with my son taking time to play with him, old him and show him around. I can't say enough about the staff and the comfort they provided us the entire stay. We will be back! We are already planning our second trip to the villa.

Amazing property and staff!

This was our third trip to Mismaloya but first to this property. The house is fantastic, all the glass allows for amazing views from every room. The staff took great care of us and the food was excellent. Every meal was top notch, prepared and presented well. The staff coordinated some activities for us, some boat trips to see whales, private beach, horseback riding, snorkeling, etc.. We saw whales almost every day from the house, that was a huge bonus. Definitely recommend this property, we can’t think of any negatives. It’s great!

This was so much more than can have imagined! This was an amazing experience of a vacation from the moment we arrived. As the staff greeted us in the beauty of the villa & as the delicious food was served with special drinks as well. Truly a week we will always remember. We are already wanting to come back. The host was extremely helpful with excursions & setting up rides wherever we wanted to go. Anything we needed or wanted was provided! Very grateful for this experience.

Absolutely wonderful villa

Our trip far exceeded my expectations. Laura made the most delicious food and Marco took care of our every need from drinks to serving food to helping with our excursions. Jesse was like Tinkerbell. She magically appeared and cleaned up the bedrooms and then magically was gone! These three made our vacation. Such kind and gentle souls who you just want to take home. Linda was fabulous on helping with all my questions. My only advice is to book now before it’s too late. You will thank me later, I promise.

Incredible views

The house is like a private resort. There are so many areas to sit and relax in. The daily nap in the hammock, the early morning coffee on the balcony, afternoon conversation at the pool and evening games in the main salon…something for everyone. Dine inside or out and grab some sun on the lounges. The linens are good quality and beds most comfortable. Great water pressure in the showers. It was nice to have a staff. Marcos was most attentive, made great drinks and the cook made the guacamole every day. Linda,the owner was available should there be any issues. We did not go anywhere as we wanted to remain isolated due to Covid but it’s a good location, not far from main PV and activities.

FANTASTIC VILLA!

The two of us were very fortunate to find this property last minute just after Valentines Day. Excellent view, Professional Staff, Beautifully decorated, Perfect Master Suite with open views, jacuzzi and hammock, Tucked away from the crowds. I would recommend this property always. Henry and Laura were attentive and we provided all the drink and meal requests for the week and all was delivered perfectly. There also disappeared for a day if we asked. Saw whales breaching and beautiful sunsets. We will be back!!! Thank you Linda Porter. Mike Chernine

Fantastic vacation home!

The description and photos are spot-on, the house is immaculate and the views are stunning. The waves crashing on the rocks below the house lulled us to sleep each night. The staff are sweet, friendly, and helpful in arranging activities and transportation, and every meal was delicious. We enjoyed the spa treatments (they come to the house!) that Luis arranged, and spent a lot of time out on the pool and patio. The house is well designed to offer views, shade and sun. The location is great for being out of the larger PV city but a 20-minute cab ride when we wanted to go there. La Zona Romantica is definitely worth a visit. We did not end up spending much time in Mismaloya, but the town of Boca de Tomatlan and its nearby beaches were gorgeous. Those waves crashing are no joke - some beach areas are not safe for swimming so check with Luis before you choose your destination. All in all we had an incredibly relaxing (and filling!) vacation week at this beautiful home, with wonderful people making sure we had a fabulous time. Gracias!

Heavenly!

We stayed here for 6 nights, then went into PVT for the remainder of our vacation. And it was so hard to leave, I actually got teary-eyed saying good bye to Marcos. It was my husband and I with 4 young adult children, I was worried that maybe the kids would get bored because we weren’t in the middle of the action. That did not happen. We walked to the village of mismaloya, where the people were spectacular! We went on a boat ride with Chava and his two young sons. My kids had a great time with the little boys jumping off of cliffs and snorkeling. Chava took us to a spectacular restaurant. And a couple days we just stayed at the house and enjoyed the pool and the scenery, and the STAFF! The staff is amazing, as are the food and drinks! We’ve taken a lot of family vacations and my kids all said this was one of their favorites. The house was amazing and so perfect for our family. Lots of memories made and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for making your home available for us to experience. We feel so blessed!

BEST VIEWS EVER!

Wow, where to begin on this property… For starters, the view was absolutely amazing and can’t be beat. While there are many properties with gorgeous views around Vallarta, this villa is right on the ocean – and across from Los Arcos national park: something only a small handful of properties can offer. When you share picture of the place to your friend and family at home, they will be totally jealous! Standing at the edge of the pool, looking down as the clear water of the ocean splashed against the rocks with a pina colada in hand was one of my favorite things to do at the end of a hot day in town. You can hear the waves all day and night which is a wonderful sound or enjoy music over the patio as well. Each bedroom has it own sitting room or deck with a terrific view of the ocean and shoreline. Mismaloya Beach is a 5-minute cab ride around the corner. This is great for days when you don’t want to go into town and just want to relax somewhere other than the villa. La Zona Romantica – or Romantic Zone is maybe a 10–15-minute ride or so away as well. So, its close enough to get to tons of taco carts and shopping but far enough away that you aren’t feeling swamped with tourists all around. I wrote my original review on Word but surpassed the character limit. If that tells you anything - I could go on an on but can't fit it all in. Just go stay there and see for your self! Lastly, the staff is amazing too!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Porter

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel. We have been married 37 years with 3 beautiful children and three grandchildren. After 23 years I sold my dance studio and wanted to be able to have a villa that I could share with people like yourself.

Why they chose this property

The best reason to choose this property is because of the destination feeling that you get with the bright Mexican colored decor and the location overlooking the ocean. If you are there in high season (winter) you have whales, dolphins and turtles that can be watched directly from the patio. If you visit in the low season (summer) you will have breathtaking sunsets.

The best reason of all has to be said that the staff is the best in Puerto Vallarta. Luis manages the home and makes sure that all your needs are met. Marcos the houseman, will make sure that you have all the food and drinks you want before you even knew you wanted them.
The cook will prepare anything that you desire. You will tell them what you want prepared and how, they will go to the store and you only pay what the grocery bill and transportation costs. I tell everyone that you can figure on $25 per day per person and that will include all your food and drinks. That is incredible especially when you taste the food. Yesi, pronounced Jessie, will make the bed and keep the villa in tip top shape. She does her job so well that most people say the rarely saw her, that it just got magically done.

What makes this property unique

Pictures are nice but anyone who has ever visited has said that they just don't do the villa justice. When you walk through the door and your greeted by the staff, music playing, the ocean sound and the margaritas, chips and salsa waiting you know your in paradise.
