4BR Villa in Puerto Vallarta

Leilenah

Good, 3 months ago

Home is as pictured. Excellent location. Lovely house staff. The only negative experience I had was when I was communicating with Margaret about the meals ahead of the trip. I found her to be unnecessarily hostile. Other than that, my stay was great.

Host Response

Leilenah, You spoke about different dietary needs for your group. While we can accommodate some changes as you now can see we are not a restaurant and I will NOT subject my staff to preparing 5 different meals for everybody. As I recommended to you with ALL your different dietary needs it probably would have been better to choose another house or go to a restaurant in the future. Your groups dietary needs would have killed my staff. In the future please think about this when there is only ONE cook. Other than the dietary needs you were a great group to have and the staff certainly enjoyed all of you. Again thank you for choosing our casa Marge

Overall, I enjoyed my stay and the host was great to work with. The only issue was the frequent power outages during the trip, which unfortunately affected the overall experience. I want to be clear that this did not seem to be the host’s fault, as it appeared to be an area-wide issue. Other than that, the place itself was nice and the host was responsive and accommodating.

Host Response

Marcus, Sometimes this happens in a Mexican neighborhood and for some reason it was our neighborhood this time. So sorry but I hate to say it but "this is Mexico" and we have to deal with it. It doesn't happen that often but when it does one just has to ride it out. Certainly hope you will return again and enjoy another stay. Marge

We were 8 guys from NYC & stayed here for a week for a birthday trip. My partner and I have visited PV 5x and this was by far our favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Our group was super happy and won’t stop raving about how wonderful the house & staff were. We’ll absolutely stay here again. The house & pool were in fantastic shape, very clean & had a gorgeous view. It felt private and safe. Carmen & Fidel were welcoming, friendly & flexible…very accommodating. Carmen’s food was fantastic. It’s so easy to get to—yes, it’s up a hill, but the very well-maintained stairs literally drop you off at the front door. Our house enjoyed doing the stairs but if we had a few too many margaritas (it happens 🤣), we hopped in a $3-5 Uber and were home in 2-3 minutes. We would be thrilled to stay at Casa Coco again!

Host Response

Thanks Wes. I laughed at having too many and hopping in a Uber. Im an old gamer and have done the same:):):):)

As all the reviews say, the home is lovely. We were here during the Sunday 2/22 cartel events so spent a lot of time in the house. The home felt very safe behind high locked metal gates and although it's not obvious there is also wire above the high walls. The neighbors checked on us and the restaurant across the street provided us food even though they were otherwise closed, so I would say the neighbors are absolutely the best too. Carmen and Fidel checked in, gave us resources and came as soon as they could on Monday. The home sits atop a set of stairs that brings you directly to the Romantica district. Although we were unable to take it due to events, Fidel had arranged a boat ride for us with his friend. He also arranged someone to drive us to the airport when we were able to leave. Despite the timing of events we were safe here and VERY glad we were not in a hotel. We will return and unless events dramatically change I would not cancel future travel plans to PV.

Host Response

Thank you Polly. I know I have the best staff in town and they are so caring and giving towards guests. Would love to have you return again. The situation that happened was a first for me and I have owned this casa for over 30 yrs. I always feel safe there and so do my kids and grandkids. marge

The staff at Casa Coca is wonderful! Carmen’s cooking is amazing, she cooked some dorado and tuna that we caught and was able to purchase special items that we requested, she is very accommodating and everything she prepared was loved by all especially her dorados fish tacos! We did not eat out much but there are lots of places to eat nearby, a wonderful bakery and cookie shop close by as well. The walk to the Malecón is easy as well. The walk down the steps is easy, but as others said we highly recommend taking taxi back. We loved the pool and views and lots of area to hang out in shade or sun! Fidel was great as well. Thank you, it was a splurge for our family that was well worth it.

Host Response

thank you and I am so glad yu all had a great time. Come back again as Vallarta is addicting:):)

Had the absolute best time at this casa with friends! It’s just a short walk to the many restaurants and bars in Zona Romántica, so didn’t even have to Uber the entire trip! The staff of the home were also wonderful - preparing delicious food, cleaning after our group, helping fix things for us when we needed it, and even helping with local recommendations and advice for navigating the neighborhood. Would absolutely come here again, and hope to soon!

Host Response

Zachary I hate to always toot my own horn but this staff is WONDERFUL and I love them as though they're my own flesh and blood. Come back soon marge

Casa Coco is a dream come true! It was everything we were hoping for from the photos and then some. The staff is incredible and was definitely a highlight of our stay. Fidel made sure we knew everything we needed to in a quick overview upon arrival. The cleaning staff added hotel quality services to this private retreat. The house is just a quick walk into town and the stairs back up are well worth the awesome view of the Zona Romantica from the property. I’ve stayed at a few condos in PV with rooftop pools and the privacy and peaceful retreat of Casa Coco is definitely far superior. The pool area gets great sun and also has some shady spots when needed. While there are plenty of incredible restaurants a short walk away, I’m pretty sure nothing can beat Carmen’s amazing cooking. Highly recommend Carmen’s chilaquiles, shrimp burritos, fajitas, shrimp stuffed avocados, and chile rellenos! It’s all top notch! Carmen is the best and really made our visit excellent. We will be back!

Host Response

Alex, Thank you for all of your recommendations. I will send on to Fidel. I need more guests like you to critique the place as I sometimes do not see what is blaring. Again thank you Marge

We have been coming to Puerto Vallarta for over 20 years, and this was the most frustrating stays I have ever had. We really wanted to love it. As an Airbnb host, there are a few simple changes she could do to make this a five star property. The Good: Location Carmen + Crew- Her food is amazing. The Pool- Warm and great. Layout- spacious! The Bad: WiFi- WiFi did not work in all spaces, Margaret kept saying this is because it’s “México”, a simple extender would help. Margaret- All of the reviews you have read are true. She’s very dismissive and I’m sure will write a defensive response to this review. The Furnishings- The decor is dated and tired. The beds are uncomfortable, my MIL could not sleep and woke up daily with a bad back. The blinds are filthy, and so many things need repair. A/C stopped working each night. The units are also very loud. Open windows- We woke up covered in itchy bug bites. Also it was very loud. Sadly, I would not return to this property

Host Response

So sorry you feel this way

The view from the home was lovely. We spent 90% of our time outside enjoying the pool and weather. It was far enough away from town but yet close enough to walk. Our kids lived for the pool and loved Ms Carmen. She was a delight to have around and her food was amazing. Fidel and Rebecca made sure the place looked top notch daily. It was a great place to relax!

Host Response

I am so glad your stay was a good one and memorable Happy New Yr

The view from the property was beautiful! Great location, walking distance to many eateries and points of interest in the Zona Romántica neighborhood. Margaret was highly responsive throughout the process. Chef Carmen was amazing!! Extremely kind and the food was so delicious! We felt right at home!

Host Response

Hi Sam So glad to have you and your friends. Also so sorry about the blackout but thats the "charm" of Mexico as you never know what's next and one must "just" deal.. Hope you come back soon again and stay a bit longer Safe travels home Marge

Carmen made the best meals! One night we went to the fanciest restaurant and our entire group agreed that the meals at the house were much better

Host Response

Thank you Matt I hate to blow my own horn but honestly as you hav experienced Carmen is the best in Vallarta. I think she has been with me now for 25 yrs. In reality she is my family. I love both of them. I am blessed. Would love Mohave your group back again Marge

Our stay at Casa Coco was absolutely phenomenal, truly a five-star experience from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the beautiful property and the incredibly warm hospitality. What truly elevated our trip was the extraordinary care and kindness of Carmen. She is an absolute gem! Carmen went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering invaluable help with local recommendations and making our entire stay seamless and stress-free. And the food! Oh, the food! Carmen's culinary skills are out of this world. Every breakfast and dinner she prepared for us was a delightful feast. Each meal was freshly made, incredibly delicious, and made with such love – it was truly one of the highlights of our trip and something we looked forward to every day. Casa Coco feels like a home away from home, thanks in large part to Carmen. We cannot recommend Casa Coco highly enough.

Host Response

Thanks Joshua. I truly have a gem in Carmen and I recognize that. She has been with me for 25 yrs now and counting. Our whole family loves her --and him too:):)

Our group of 7 had a fabulous week-long stay in Margaret's house. Carmen was the most wonderful cook. We loved her food, and she is the sweetest. Fidel arranged massages and a boat day for us. Margaret was a very responsive host, and her place is amazing. Very close to the Zona Romantica, but removed enough to feel incredibly peaceful. The pool is great. If you're not great with stairs and hills, maybe avoid. But honestly, a wonderful place and we couldn't recommend it more.

Host Response

Jared Carmen and Fidel are the Crown Jewels of Casa Coco and I treasure them beyond belief

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful and the staff was incredibly accommodating. The whole group absolutely loved Carmen and all the food she cooked for us. Great location to get anywhere downtown but the house was so great we didn’t really want to leave.

Host Response

Oh Zak so sorry about getting sick. I was down with my grandchildren and they ALL got sick. Im starting to think it's the lettuce as they wash it in the Mexican water which has microbes that our intestinal tract is not used to. I was the only one that didnt get sick. My grandkids said "you have to be used to this" and I replied well after 30yrs or so I guess I am but trust e I have had my day with this problem. the good news is not going to kill you :):):) Marge

We stayed at Casa Coco for my bachelorette party and it was absolutely amazing!! The house exceeded our expectations in every way! The home was beautiful and the views were out of this world! Carmen and Fidel made the experience unforgettable with their spectacular service. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time, plus the pool was so much fun! Would recommend 10/10 and will definitely be staying here again for my next trip to Puerto Vallarta! Couldn’t be more thankful for the stay!

Thank you big! Margaret and her staff were amazing! Carmen was delightful and made sure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail was an extra special touch. We celebrated a 70th birthday and she decorated and had a cake ready as an added surprise. Bonus tip...her cooking was WONDERFUL! Highly recommend you stay in and have her treat to you with a good home cooked meal! Great communication from the very beginning with Margaret with fast response time. We love visiting PV and will definitely keep Margaret and this listing in mind when we come to visit again!

Excellent, 1 year ago

We had a group of 8 guys and we had such a great time. The house was walking distance to all the bars and restaurants. Carmen and Fidel were awesome. Made us awesome meals and margaritas! They are very good people. Overall the whole experience was wonderful.

Margaret’s home was absolutely amazing! It was our first time visiting Puerto Vallarta as a family, and we couldn’t have stayed in a better place. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and local shops. Carmen and her husband Fidel went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. They helped us book incredible activities and were always eager to assist with anything we needed. Carmen’s cooking was a highlight—every meal was delicious and made with so much care. The pool was a hit with the kids—they practically lived in it! We spent so much quality time together as a family by the pool, which made our trip even more special. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta!

I cannot say enough about how amazing our week was at Marg’s casa! Our family of 6 plus our 2 yr old granddaughter stayed for 7 nights and it was perfect. Not only was she extremely helpful and responsive during the booking process and with all questions prior to arrival, our accommodations exceeded all expectations. The highlight of our stay was Carmen and Fidel. Fidel greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the home and how to operate things like air conditioner, tv, pool lights, etc. we had Carmen prepared breakfast and most dinners and these meals were by far some of the best meals we’ve had! She is an amazing cook and our family loved everything she prepared! The ceviche, guacamole, fresh fish tacos, chicken enchiladas, freshly squeezed orange juice, French toast, eggs, and literally everything was a 15 out of 10! It was an absolute pleasure to have her around! The property was beautiful and all rooms very clean. I wouldn’t change a thing and looking forward to going back!

We absolutely loved our stay here and will try to rebook with them when we go back to PV. The property owner was very insightful and helpful during booking and then the husband and wife duo that greeted us on arrival took great care of us. They helped us book a boat for the day, cooked us 10/10 meals, and made us feel right at home in the space. For anyone considering this house, this is your sign to book it.

Host Response

Stu sorry for my delayed response but my internet has been acting up. Thank you for choosing our little piece of heaven in Vallarta and of course Carmen and Fidel are the icing on the cake. They make everyones Coco stay hum day in and day out. Please come back and stay with us again as we loved having you.

Our group of eight had a wonderful stay at Casa Coco! Marge provided very clear instructions prior to checking in and even asked for what groceries and items we would like in the house prior to our arrival. Carmen, the house chef, prepared incredible meals throughout our stay and was very flexible with our schedule! The house had amazing views of the ocean and Zona Romantica below and was conveniently located right next to stairs that lead down to the shops and restaurants below. It was overall an amazing time and we would stay at Casa Coco again!

Host Response

Trust me when I say Vallarta is addicting:):):)

Margaret's place was perfect. Location was great because there is a stairwell that brings you down the hill into zona romantica, very walkable! We rented the house to stay it with a few friends for a wedding and it worked out great. Fun outdoor space, perfect for hanging out and eating together and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. The real highlight though was Carmen, what a gem this woman is! Carmen not only stocked the house for us but cooked us breakfast and lunch everyday and the food was amazing! She was so kind and really made the trip so easy as we didn't have to think about meals hardly at all. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay in this area of Puerto Vallarta and want some great hospitality!

Host Response

Thanks Amanda. Carmen has been with me for over 25 yrs and yes she is a "gem" to say the least. When my kids go down they love to eat at the casa as they have told me Carmens cooking is better than and 5 star restaurant. I cherish both of them:):)

Casa de Coco feels like a glorified Super 8 Motel—except you’re also paying for awkward staff interactions. While the location in the Romantic Zone is walkable, the uphill trek back is anything but romantic. You'll want to Uber back on most occasions. The property is filthy: black mold in the bathrooms, grime-covered walls, stained furniture, and a half-empty pool greeted us. Broken AC, non-functional Wi-Fi, and a broken front door added to the charm. Oh, and an animal invasion during the night left us without snacks. Keep in mind we had the place locked up too. The “included” staff required daily payments, making eating at home pricier than PV’s finest beach front restaurants. One staff member even revved a leaf blower in circles around us while we were poolside for literally no reason. When asked to forgo the staff, the owner refused. I've stayed in PV many times, there's just plenty of better options out there. Save your money—Casa de Coco isn’t worth it.

Host Response

Its obvious from reading your review none of you have traveled much nor do you have experience. Your tip to the staff was awful so until you all grow up please do not return to our place again. I will reimburse the staff for your lack of tipping when I go down. In 25 yrs or so of owning this casa nobody has been so negative so what is your problem??? Inexperience and how sad that is.

Casa Coco was an incredible stay for our family! My mom, being in her 70s, brothers and I in our 40s and neice and baby 10 and 1… it was wonderful for all! But the best part is the beautiful family who takes care of the home- Carmen, Fidel, Rebecca and Carmen’s daughter, Jerelee (spelling may be off)… they are the heart of Casa Coco and made us feel like extended family. We enjoyed Carmen’s cooking very much and Jerelee even babysat my baby for an afternoon 😊 We had a wonderful Christmas vacation at this home- it was warm, inviting, beautiful and fun. Thank you Marge and the whole Casa Coco staff!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic location and incredible staff. Carmen and Fidel were just amazing. Carmen’s food was absolutely delicious - better than restaurants we ate out at. Fidel’s graciousness and assistance with setting up excursions, transportation and beyond was just wonderful. And the location was an easy walk to all Zona Romantica (lots of stairs to manage to town but an easy 3-5 minute Uber if you wanna make the drive). Margaret’s communication (owner) was great as well. We would stay here again in an instant. A lovely gem of a place.

Host Response

Brad,We have been made aware of this situation and we are on top of it. Fidel and Carmen have been int he states on vacation but they are returning today. We have guests tomorrow and then Casa Coco should be closed until the pool has been refurbished. People have just started complaining about the tiles this Spring so we are on it Thanks and Im so glad you all had a great time. When my kids are down they would prefer Carmens guac and her food over restaurant food.

The villa was peaceful and we felt safe our entire stay. We enjoyed Carmen’s cooking and Fidel was always willing to recommend and book our excursions. They are really kind people. The villa was about a 15min walk to Los Muertos Beach. I would recommend this villa.

Host Response

Veronica, We do have pool floats. The are in the lockup downstairs. Did you ask Carmen for them??? Im saying this but I have not used a float for a number of yrs so maybe they have disappeared and iM not aware of that. Will check when I get down again.

I can’t brag enough about Casa Coco! Everything was great from pre check in to check out. Mrs.Marge communicated and had everything set up for our arrival. Mrs Carmen and Fidel are the most beautiful humans ever. Mrs Carmen cooks perfect portions of every meal and the food is so delicious. Mr Fidel is so helpful on everything from transportation, discounts, and keeps the property beautiful. They arrived daily to set up Breakfast and the pool and helped with anything we needed. I truly can’t put into words our appreciation for them and Love for this entire experience.

Host Response

I hate to toot my own horn but I know I have the best staff in all of Vallarta. They are truly a gift to me and my family So glad you all had a great time

Our family of 7 (2 tweens, 3 adults, 2 grandparents) loved our week in Puerto Vallarta and the staff (Carmen, Fidel, and Rebecca) were a big reason why. They were helpful in so many ways - showing us around the property, cooking delicious meals, grocery shopping, cleaning our rooms, washing and folding clothes, and helping us arrange different outings. Carmen was also very thoughtful to adjust meals and ingredients for my family member who has dietary restrictions. The property is located in the Alta Vista area of Zona Romantica. This means larger properties, quieter neighborhoods, hilly terrain, and longer walks to shopping, restaurants, and convenience stores. Casa Coco was a good match for the type of stay that our family was looking for. I can't say enough for how well my family was cared for at Casa Coco. I would gladly book again in the future and recommend this property without reservation.

Host Response

Thanks Justin and please come again as everyone loved your group Marge

Do not hesitate to book this wonderful casa. The privacy of a whole house with the amenities of a hotel (cleaner every day, chef every day, pool cleaned, staff get groceries and anything you need for arrival and/or throughout your stay). We had 8 people, including 2 kids under the age of 6 - pool was wonderful and heated! It is nicer than the pictures suggest. The meals Carmen makes are truly nutritious and delicious (we did not leave with the feeling we had eaten out all week). The neighbourhood is quaint and the house feels very secure/safe. The staff make you feel absolutely at home (we had dinner and all our groceries waiting for us on arrival and a cup of coffee immediately put in our hands every morning. One of the best vacations we have had in a long time and certainly our best air bnb rental.

We’re a family of six with three adult “kids” and one teen. This was, without a doubt, a perfect choice for our Mexico getaway from the Midwest winter. First, the service from Carmen and Fidel was PERFECT. Carmen was incredible. Her food FAR exceeded our expectations. There’s a menu of available choices at the house. Fidel made sure the pool was always ready and was super helpful in arranging excursions along with transportation to the airport. He saved us money and we had a great ATV tour thanks to him. Couple of highlights, the restaurant just around the corner from Casa Coco is Serrano’s and we highly recommend it. It’s fantastic with a beautiful view. Also, recommend using Uber for pick up at Casa Coco to get into town. Then grab any taxi to get back. You cannot go wrong with this property and the services from Carmen and Fidel. 10/10!

Host Response

Thank you Melissa. I always hate to toot my own horn but honestly I know that Carmen and Fidel are the best in Vallarta and I am blessed to have them. Do glad you all had fun. Please come back again and get out of that snow:):):) Marge

The attention was amazing. Carmen the excellent cook, it was what made the difference beyond that the house is very beautiful and comfortable. Just to keep in mind if they come with adults who while they are close to the mall there is a significant stair climb to get there. But you can take a taxi that is inexpensive. We'll be back soon because we really liked the hospitality and kindness of Carmen, Fidel, Marta and Felipe. They were always attentive in case we were missing something. Thank you Margaret for everything.

Host Response

Gabriele Would love to read that in English:):) Marge

We had a wonderful time at the home. We were in town to celebrate my 40th. 6 of us stayed at the home and had a lovely time. Carmen, Susana and Fidel were wonderful. A couple things to note, bring earplugs as 2am - 6am are on the louder side due to the roasters, dogs, and other city noise. The daytime is so peaceful and 100% quiet. The steps aren’t as bad as people made them out to be. Carmen is the mama bear and she wants to take care of you 100% of the time. Her ceviches, French toast, coconut flan, and honestly anything she cooks are wonderful. We have been to PV over a dozen times and Carmen’s food is better than 99% of the restaurants you will go to in town. This is a place for travelers that love a beach, family vide, culture and food.

Margaret was an amazing and responsive host! This Airbnb was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to feel like I was in Puerto Vallarta, and it was exactly that. It has a beautiful ocean view and it felt private but so close to the beach and walking distance to all the hot spots of Zone Romantica. This was my first time in Puerto Vallarta and I can honestly say, staying at this Airbnb was one of the main reasons we had such a great time. 10/10 I would definitely come back to this Airbnb for my next trip! Thank you Margaret, Fidel, Carmen, and the rest of the friendly staff who were so hospitable and accommodating during our stay.

My family and my sister’s family met at Casa Coco for a week that included Christmas Day. The villa was perfect for our winter getaway. The layout was spacious enough that our group of 7 adults never felt crowded. The furnishings & decor could use some updating but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We loved dipping into the pool to cool off. I can’t praise the staff, Carmen and Fidel, enough. Carmen’s cooking is as good as any of the restaurant’s. Fidel ensured that we had all that we needed, including picking up delayed luggage at the airport. The Casa is in walking distance to everything in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romántica. There is a lengthy, steep stair climb to return to the Casa, but that provided some good exercise. Because we were there at Xmas time, the neighbourhood could be noisy with fireworks and parties, but this didn’t bother us, and we liked the festive atmosphere. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Casa Coco. The host, Marge was always gracious & responsive.

What a charming place ! We had a great time at this villa. First and foremost , the staff (Carmen and Felix) were spectacular and took such good care of us. Carmen’s cooking is out of this world - better than any restaurant we visited in town. It also has a spectacular view and was within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go (if you don’t mind a long but very beautiful and well maintained staircase) . We were extremely comfortable here and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants the full Vallarta experience…

Came here with 7 friends for my 30th birthday and absolutely loved it. Perfectly situated above and just outside all of the night life so we could have our privacy during the days and for meals which were beautifully prepared by Carmen. For those who may have difficulties walking up/down stairs, using Uber/lyft was very easy, quick, and cheap at any time of day/night. Will be returning soon!!

Loved having you

We had the best time with Mrs. Carmen and Mr. Fidel. she cooks like nobody and every guest was delighted with the meals. without them our event couldnt be as smooth as It was. thank you from everyone, our event was a success. Excelentes atenciones, la señora Carmen y Don Fidel nos trataron super bien, cocina super rico y todos los invitados reconocieron el esfuezo y la dedicacion de ellos en nuestra estadía, sin duda ellos hiceron nuestro evento un exito

Host Response

Thank you Cristhian. I have been out of town and did not look at this. I thank you for choosing our little bit of heaven in Mexico. Im tooting my own horn but Carmen and Fidel are the absolute best in every way. come back again and stay longer Marge

OK, 3 years ago

Terrible! The hostess was very rude, the day we arrived she didn't want to let us through because a baby was going to be there for months and she said she didn't have a crib, she never canceled on the app and she told me that she was going to cancel, but in the end, airbnb contacted her because she's hurting, super rude.

Host Response

Your whole visit was a total fiasco and you know it. Dont try to blame it on me. Dont ever come back to the casa again. Also you left and never gave the staff a tip or propina as you would call it. That is disgusting. You are ungrateful

This place was everything we wanted and more. The rooms are great and spacious and super close to everything you want and walkable to the beach. Carmen and Fidel are fantastic and really take care of you like you are family. If the stars align we will definitely be coming back. We left totally spoiled and it made our vacation.

Host Response

Thank you Garret. I always know the staff will treat guests like family. I sound like Im bragging or tooting my own horn if I say these things before a guest arrives but I always know they will be treated like royalty. Come back soon. Travel safely Marge

Incredibly friendly house staff that cooked our meals and assisted with vacation recommendations / planning. Patio and views were phenomenal.

Host Response

Salvador, I am so glad that you all felt right at home. I knew you would but thats hard for me to say when its my property. The staff is fabulous and as you now know they have been with me for over 25 yrs. Again I am so sorry about the "menu" screw up. My daughter in law removed the menu option as it is so confusing. Please know we would love to have you all come back again and spend more time with us. Again thank you for gracing our home Marge

Our stay at Casa Coco was absolutely perfect! We had a small event (wedding) with immediate family that we cleared with Marge before we booked. She was very accommodating! Fidel and Carmen took very good care of us and were extremely friendly. Fidel even showed up on their day off (Sunday) when we had a minor issue at the property. The view from the property was stunning, and all our nieces and nephews had a great time in the pool. We will be staying at Casa Coco again, and we look forward to it!

Host Response

Thank you so much for your positive review. I love the area, the people, the community, the culture etc etc etc. It works for me big time. We started coming here when our kids were in college and never looked back. Vallarta is my second home and my kids love it too. Carmen has become their second mother. Stay safe and come back again.

Couldn’t have been happier Had my 3 adult children plus friend plus 2 80 year old in-laws Everyone had great space and food from Carmen was amazing and Fidel helped us find activities in town including fishing where we caught a pile of tuna and cooked it for lunch ! All in all totally as advertised and would come back anytime Marge was wonderful to deal with

Host Response

We would love to have you back in a heartbeat:):):)

Excellent, 3 years ago

Marge’s place was so spacious, serene and perfectly appointed. The view was spectacular and the neighborhood is a short walk to all the restaurants. It is up a steep hill (there are stairs) but we recommend taking the stairs down and a taxi up the hill. Marge has wonderful staff on site to help. Carmen’s breakfasts are incredible—the best chilaquiles and French toast we’d ever tasted. And Fidel is a font of information and so helpful. Marge is a lovely host and we can’t wait to stay again!

Host Response

Jennifer, Thank you for your wonderful review. I am so grateful for the staff I have on board and they have been with me now for over 25 yrs. I am blessed Marge

Everything about our stay at Casa Coco was absolutely fantastic! The property itself is stunning and kept impeccably clean. We loved that it is located quite close to the beach and the Zona Romantica while also being an oasis of calm not far at all away from the bustle of downtown. The team on site is truly wonderful. Fidel made us feel comfortable and right at home, and Carmen's cooking was out of this world! All of their efforts and those of the whole pleasant and professional team made our holiday an absolute dream. Our host Marge was always quick to respond to our questions and was a delight to interact with, thank you! Overall, this was such a great experience and we highly recommend Casa Coco.

The whole Enchilada! Pardon the pun. If you want “real Mexico” this place is perfection. The staff and Carmen’s cooking is the hidden gem. Don’t even bother eating out! Peaceful and relaxing, but do bring ear plugs because Mexico is just noisy at night in general . We will definitely return!

Host Response

Thank you Sunny for your review. I know how special Coco is but its hard to toot my own horn. However, it is Carmen and Fidel that make that place and I have been blessed to have them for over 20 yrs. They are a gift.

This has been the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. This was the most "as-advertised" home we have stayed at the the combination of Carmen, Fidel, and Margaret turned this great spot in to a world class experience. The location is walking distance to everything we wanted to see and the amenities can't be beat. The service is incredible, we wanted for nothing, and the food Carmen cooked was 10/10. Fidel was always available if we needed him! We will absolutely be back. Best, Elliot

Host Response

Loved having your group. So you need to get back to Vallarta ASAP Vallarta itself is addicting

Ya’ll this place was amazing! Our party of six fell in love with this place. Location could not be more desirable sitting on top of Zona Romántica*. Fidel (the property manager) and Carmen (the chef) took wonderful care of us. Carmen cooked two fabulous meals a day for us and they were better than the food in restaurant IMO. We reimbursed her for the cost and tipped her graciously. *Caution - if you plan to walk everywhere please be aware this home sits on a mountain and the beautiful street path contains many steps and a cobblestone street down the mountain. The hard part is coming back up the mountain and requires you to be in good shape to not lose your breath. Alternatively, Uber is easy and very cheap to scale back up the mountain. While we loved it and the owner makes this very clear, I just want to emphasize for the less active.

Host Response

Thank you John. Im sure laughing about the hike back up the "mountain" and those stairs. I will check out the bathroom sink situation in the Master. Thanks and so glad you enjoyed your time. Would love to host again.

Margaret was an awesome hostess! Super responsive and helpful. Additionally, Fidel and Carmen at the villa were amazing! Helpful in every way - groceries, food, keeping everything tidy, babysitting, local recommendations, snorkeling. They had an answer for all our needs! It’s a quick Uber down the hill, but most of the group walked to/from the restaurants/beach. We’ll be back!

Host Response

Thanks Lauren. I certainly hope you all will be back. Carmen and Fidel so enjoyed your family.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Coco Casa/Margaret. Margaret was very professional, & personable. Absolutely, top notch with her understanding of a travelers’ needs. The home was perfect for our family get together. We thoroughly enjoyed the home-cooked meals prepared and served by Carmen and was very happy with helpfulness and highly capable Fidel. He was able to connect us w/ some great local excursions for a reduced rate! Honestly, Carmen & Fidel make the visit to Coco Casa a 5-star rating! The location is walkable w/ access to great restaurants, bars, beach, banks, & other services. Although walkable for the ‘healthy’ person, I caution the elderly or disabled person as there are some steeps steps, narrow walkways, & rough cobblestone streets to navigate. Lastly, for the budget conscience travelers, make sure you come w/ an extra $10-$12 per person per day tip for the staff. It is recommended, but not required. I wasn’t prepared.

Thank you Catherine. You are a trooper after the "fiasco". Please send your address. Also I will mention all of your concerns to Fidel. I wish you had said something to him about the pool tiles as I dont know where in the pool the problem lies. The last time I was doen there was not a problem with the hot water but I only used the upstairs shower. I never use the downstais one. Again I wil have Fidel check Again thank you. Marge

Most amazing stay. Overdelivers on all fronts. Beautiful views, great layout. The best part is the food! Carmine is an awesome cook and so gracious Everything top notch.

Host Response

Wendy, I know I have the best in Vallarta especially with the talent of Carmens cooking. Actually they both have their own talents as Fidel is so connected in town and he can find deals for just about anything and everything. They have been with me now for 24 yrs and I love them like my own kids

The stay was incredible. It is in a great location, so close to Zona Romantica. Big seating areas. The only down side was the no windows in the bathroom (bars only) and the living room d/t mosquitos or other critters easily entering the house but closing the doors to the bathroom or bedroom door was an easy fix for us. The staff was incredibly nice and anticipatory to our needs. Carmen's food is very good! The pool is kept clean twice a day by Fidel who helped us arrange many excursions and gave us rides :) The beds are comfortable and every room has a bathroom so that was very convenient. The only other down side was that the bedroom with two small beds has shades that don't block out all the light and made it hard to sleep for me since the head of the bed is up against the bottom of the window/drapes. Overall, a great home to stay in while in PV! Thank you!

The pictures don’t do this place justice we were a group of 8 and its absolutely gorgeous from the rooms to the bathrooms and the pool !! Carmen and Fidel are Amazing they teat you like family ! Carmen’s food is so delicious and Fidel is very knowledgable and helped get transport for 8 people a couple times . I cant recommend this place enough We decided on the cooking option where carmen buys and cooks the food for you (this is not included in the price which we knew and agreed on ) The food was absolutely delicious !! Marge is easy to talk to and she was great with communication ! We cant wait to come back !!

Very nice home that comfortably accommodated the 7 of us. Fidel and Carmen were a true pleasure. The food cooked by Carmen was delicious and she always made the perfect amount. (You pay Carmen for the food purchase and service). They were both very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed the outdoor space in the mornings and evenings. The steps to get down to the street level are difficult if you have any knee problems or are not active. We did not have an issue but we did have to get my Dad a taxi ride up and down. There are already many steps in the house and outdoor space. The only downside to the home is the noise in the area at night. The bathroom windows are open, there is no glass, so all the noise comes in even when you close the doors. You could hear people talking at all hours of the night, playing loud music until 2 or 3 in the morning and one dog that barked constantly. The bedroom downstairs is the only one that does not have any noise issues. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. There is a hospital down the street to get a Covid test if needed. There are great local taco stands straight down Aguacate street.

Host Response

Oh thank you so much for telling me the problems in the casa. I am going down next week so will address the steps to the pool and the other things you mentioned. You are not the first one to be a bit confused with the wording regarding the cooking situation. I will have to address that situation too. Sad thing with the noise is that there is noise ALL over Vallarta. In my opinion they are ruining the small town feel of the city with all this construction. In talking with other people I am told construction all over Mexico. Again thank you and honestly I do hope you will return soon again Marge

Highly recommend! Views are amazing. Location is easily accessible via taxis/Ubers and they know exactly where to drop you off. Great community with the beach just 6 blocks away. Everyone is Super friendly and will help you with directions if needed. Carmen and Fidel were such a great addition to our stay, extremely knowledgeable and made themselves available to answer/assist any and all of our questions/requests. Nightlife is right down the hill with local bars and clubs are nearby. Felt very secure during our trip would definitely stay here again.

I couldn't recommend staying at Marge's place enough. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The views are unbeatable, the bedrooms and bathrooms/showers are extremely nice, and Carmen and Fidel were everything we needed and more! There is so much to do within walking distance, and to get to town there is this gorgeous stairway down a hill with lots of plants and good photo opportunities right next to the house. Carmen's food is absolutely amazing - she buys tortillas fresh from a market day of and they're the best tortillas I've ever tasted. Fidel is super helpful with booking taxis and activities - you might be better off waiting to book any activities until you speak to him actually - he has a lot of connections. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely time and I hope to return one day.

Casa Coco is a wonderful location and home. Carmen and Fidel are wonderful co-hosts. The house is authentic Mexico and clean and well taken care of. The views and private pool are definitely highlights. Beds are comfortable and all rooms had bathrooms. **Warning to all that are considering booking this Airbnb, the meals are NOT included in the rate. This was a surprise to me and not addressed by the host. Secondly Pool heat in April is needed and should be discussed as soon as you arrive, especially if you intend to use it later in the evening or early mornings after a night out. Uber and Taxi's are readily available and very inexpensive. Overall the experience was a good one. Thank you Casa Coco Hosts

Host Response

CJ Please put on your thinking cap and realize the price of the casa does NOT say meals and food are included. It says a cook is available to cook two meals a day IF so desired. Also how do you think you can run a property and not have help for gardening etc. Also the lack of electricity. This is Mexico and this happens ALL the time. One needs to just deal with it. I have been in Mexico for 30 yrs and I cannot count the times electricity goes out. However, having water go out is a first for me to hear. Im not sure you should ever go back to Mexico if you expect the same experience as you would have in the states. Im so sorry you were disappointed in that regard but as I said you should rethink your destination for future vacations.

My husband had talked wonders about Casa Coco as he had previously stayed there, so it was no brainer that we would stay at Casa Coco this time around. We absolutely love Carmen, Fidel & Martha. They were so attentive of our needs, and making sure we were comfortable and having a good time. Carmen’s cooking is the best, we loved waking up to fresh OJ and coffee with delicious warm breakfast. She asked what we wanted and she delivered. Seriously, look no further and book your stay at Casa Coco! We cannot wait to come back ♥️

Casa Coco was a dream! Carmen and Fidel are fantastic and made the whole experience even better. Fidel helped us plan activities and find the best deals and he coordinated transportation to make everything fun and easy. Carmen's cooking just kept getting better every day. The home itself is gorgeous with beautiful views and the perfect walking distance into town. It's quiet in the evening but it only takes five minutes to walk to all of the lively shopping and dining. Perfect for a private getaway.

Host Response

Thank you Andrew. I hate to toot my own horn but I always know that Carmen and Fidel will be fabulous with every guest. They are the best in Vallarta and they love their jobs. Both of them have been with me for over 25 yrs now and I love them like they were my own kids. So glad the kids had fun too. Marge
