Great stay at Bella Loma 404

The week started off with a couple of problems with the phone and tv but Charlotte was very responsive and had the issues resolved in a timely manner. We were very impressed with the quick response to any of our questions.The unit is small but has everything you need including the washer and dryer. Cleaning service every other day was greatly appreciated. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and all the restaurants and bars in town. There are a few small grocery stores within a short walk and Charlotte told us about a lady selling fresh fruit on Basilio Badillo. A great week overall

Nice little spot in the heart of everything zona Romantica

We stayed in the condo for four days, it was very quiet, considering the amount of construction always going on in the area, which was nice! The place was very clean and updated. Of the air, conditioners and plugs in the bathroom worked well. A favorite of mine is that this particular unit is only one floor below the pool area, so it was easy access!

Home in Paradise

We stayed at Casa Tesoro Esondido for 2 weeks. The apartment was perfect. They view was amazing and is exactly what is in the pictures. It’s in a great location and easy to get around. The kitchen was just right and had enough to enjoy breakfast on the terrace. The roof deck pool had even better views. Many times we thought it was our own private pool! The friendly cleaning lady was a surprise. We will be back next yesr! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!!

Great location and view

Property was great in general, there were hiccups with the internet and television, the host came by personally to help but we were told it was the cable company that was responsible. In general we loved the apartment with its two balconies, great grill, and roof top pool/ lounge chairs. Location was perfect and cleaning service spot on. Washer and dryer were a huge amenity.

5 night stay in December

I'm not sure if there's more you can ask for in a condo in PV. You can't beat the location to the beach, restaurants, and other points of interest. Everything was walking distance. It was immaculately clean, well stocked, and with strong wifi. We had 5 restful nights. The owners were quite welcoming and responsive.

Marvelous stay at the Bella Loma

I really would love returning to Bella Loma. You don’t need the air conditioner with open air design. Location was great. I was on a quiet street yet a few minutes to everything (breakfast, shops, the beach etc) everything is modern and well kept. Great view of the beach. Friendly hostess only a phone call away. What more can I ask for?

Perfect Location

Beautiful, clean and great communication with the host. They provided very detailed instructions that were necessary. Close to everything you need and want in Puerto Vallarta. The elevator was down for one day but it was working the next. Gorgeous rooftop pool is one floor above. Washer and dryer was nice! Unfortunately the fire stick didn’t work in the bedroom but we watched Netflix in the living room to relax before bed. I highly recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by John Guptill

Host profile image
My wife and I are from Portland, Maine. I first discovered Puerto Vallarta by accident at age 18 while on vacation in Mexico City when we decided to take an overnight bus trip adventure to the coast. Upon landing in Puerto Vallarta I instantly fell in love with it. Later I was fortunate enough to be able to return with my wife. We booked a condo in Zona Romantica, very near to Casa Tesoro Escondido (Hidden Gem), and never looked back. Year after year we returned, addicted to the beauty and amenities of PV. Finally in 2013 we decided to buy. We eventually discovered a great pre-construction opportunity at Bella Loma. We oversaw construction and meticulously applied years of personal experience renting in the area and previous professional experience in rentals, construction and real estate in Maine to create a wonderful home and superior rental experience. We currently visit our home in paradise two to three times a year. We hope you will enjoy Casa Tesoro Escondido as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Casa Tesoro Escondido is centrally located to the beach, restaurants, and nightlife that Puerto Vallarta is famous for, yet all the while tucked away at the terminus of a very quiet and peaceful dead end, residential street. As we purchased pre-construction we were able to design the finishes and furnishings to the highest quality.

What makes this property unique

Bella Loma is a smaller condo association with only 17 units. This allows for the amenities of a condo, with a bit more privacy. Typically there will only be one or two other guests on the pool deck. It has a friendly and family run feel. Built in 2015 it has modern amenities and feel but at a much greater value than other new condo developments in the area. The location is optimal, tucked away at the terminus of a dead end only 2.5 blocks to one of Vallarta's most popular beaches, Los Muertos, only one block to Olas Altas shopping and European styled cafes and bars and only minutes to restaurant row on Baslio Badillo and the boardwalk and Downtown.
