4BR Villa in Puerto Vallarta

Ricardo Alonso

Excellent, 1 month ago

Everything was excellent. All the rooms were very comfortable, as were the common areas. The house's pool was spectacular.

Everything was very good except for small details that would have made everything perfect. There is practically no cell phone signal in the whole house, and we struggled a lot with the internet on the second floor most of the days. Also, since we arrived, there have been ants in all the rooms, a lot in the kitchen and small ones in the rooms. These are minor details, but they do affect the comfort a bit when paying for a place with these features. Other than that, everything was as discussed and advertised. Thank you very much.

Best trip of our lifetime. House is outstanding. A few things need some updating. The beach cooler and umbrella were broken. The addition of a beach buggy would be awesome to get all the beach stuff to the other side of the road to where the beach is located would be amazing. Ismael and Dora were wonderful, the house is well laid out, kitchen was awesome for cooking. We enjoyed great meals around that giant table. Rooms are great, very clean, and safe. Francisco was definitely the highlight of our stay, he helped us every day with guidance and superior hospitality. Beach was beautiful

A place with an excellent location and the photos shown are just like the property. I would come back to stay again.

Ismael's house is beautiful, perfect for our family, our kids had a great time in the privet pool. The local beach is great, I do recommend bring your own beach supplies like chairs and umbrellas and a cooler, there are some there but was not enough for our family of 7. The beach is not far I'd say about a 5 minute walk. The house is equipped with plenty of towels and the kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable 1 week's stay.

The place was generally as described, and check-in was smooth. The location was convenient for what I needed, and the neighborhood felt safe. The host was responsive when I had questions.

Love how friendly the security Francisco is and Dora.The place is peaceful,and is nice to have the extra community pool too.Close to the marina,Oxxo is walkable,Lots of restaurants near the place,the beach is in front of the place.

It was just ok for us. We had to buy our own dish soap yet we're required to wash our dishes. Only had one roll of TP for each bathroom. Inconvenient things like that. When you spend $3000 for a week you expect things like washing detergent and such. The neighborhood felt very safe but wasn't near much. The beach access was less than desired. Yes, private but definitely not pretty. The pool was 96 degrees while being 101 outside. I joked about buying bags of ice so we could find some relief from the heat. All and all the house is nice but definitely not close to much as far as shopping and a good 30 min drive to any shopping. Fransisco at the front gate is a gem and so helpful!

Host Response

I'm sorry you didn't have a good time on your vacation, but please don't lie! The supermarket is 4 minutes away by car, and many of our guests even like to walk. Regarding the dish soap, if I had needed more, I would have asked for it without any problem. For the next time you book on Airbnb, I invite you to read the property rules and guidelines

Dora was the highlight of our stay—if you have the chance to hire her chef services, don’t hesitate! Her food is absolutely stunning. It was hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, and I was travelling with two Mexican colleagues who were equally impressed. Dora also shared so much helpful information about the area, and her recommendations really enhanced our trip. She made sure we had everything we needed (and more!) every single day. The area itself is fantastic. We were able to walk to the beach, and we also took a short taxi ride to Playa Sabal, a nearby beach club that was recommended in the listing. It was well worth it—beautiful pool, stunning beach, and a lovely atmosphere. As for the property, it’s very spacious, with four bedrooms and six beds, each bedroom Witb its own bathroom. The unit gave us lots of room to relax. The unit was clean and well-equipped, we did notice some minor maintenance issues. With those taken care of and some laundry soap, it’s 5 stars.

Ismael's house is spectacular and comes with everything you need to enjoy it. We went as a family and enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much for the welcome kit and for all the attention and recommendations to make sure we had a great time. The house is certainly highly recommended. It is beautiful and has all the amenities described, and it's close to a very nice beach. Ismael was always attentive to us to make us feel at home. Thank you very much. Highly recommended

House was very nice. Very responsive owner. Beach chairs not provided Pool constantly made loud noise Overall good

Clean, well equipped with everything you need. Nice patio area with pool but it was shady, did not get sun so we spent our time at the community pool which was only steps away. Walkable or short Uber ride to shopping and excellent restaurants in Bucerias. Beautiful walking path for miles along the Nuevo tourist area or into Bucerias. Safe gated community and easy access to the beach just across the road. Note that if you want to spend time on the beach there are only 4 adult beach chairs and several child beach chairs which were not enough for our group of 8 adults to enjoy a comfortable day on the beach. 2 very nice, easy to setup beach umbrellas. We enjoyed our stay and the place was big enough for our group.

The house is extremely beautiful and the attention of the host and team do not even say it!! We are a large family and we loved the house, we will definitely stay with them again. If they visit Vallarta I recommend staying with Mr. Ismael. Thank you for the detail we were left, these are differences that make you feel at home!! God bless 🙏🏻

Host Response

Thank you Rocio for your well wishes all the best also to you. Many blessings also for you

The place is big enough for a group of 8 people, to be completely honest we paid $18,000 pesos for two nights, but I do t think the house is worth that much, I’ve stayed in more luxurious places for less than that, we couldn’t access the beach because the key didn’t work, they were supposed to replace it but it never got there, we needed up driving to Vallarta which is about a 45-48 minute drive depending on traffic. The closest town is Bucerias and it is a very nice town. The pool is nice and good size. The fan in the main bedroom didn’t work, it was kind of hot all night even with the AC. AC downstairs works very well, it keeps the whole living area cool. Beds are comfortable. But should definitely consider other options for a better price.

I couldn't be happier,this house felt like home,awesome vibe,great and quiet neighborhood but just close to everything,the beach access is a plus to this house,Ismael made feel welcome and special,Dora was great as well,will not stay anywhere else and will chose any of Ismael properties without a doubt ,is business with a human touch,keep up the great job Ismael.

From the first contact, he was attentive and reliable. The information provided about the arrival and reception at the house was clear. Mrs. Dora welcomed us kindly and was always attentive to what we needed and to our questions. The beds are super comfortable and the spaces in the house are very nice. They certainly made us feel at home. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. We really appreciate our welcome kit. We enjoyed it. I would definitely book again.

The condo was spacious and clean and the pool was a great addition. Getting to and from the beach proved challenging with two families and only one gate fob (you have to fob in AND out of the beach access gate). The kitchen was lacking in many of the essential items. It could definitely use an upgrade. Ismael was very easy to get in touch with and ready to help. Be aware that you will need to buy toilet paper and garbage bags (!!) as they don’t provide them when you run out.

What's it chris. 2 roll papers are provided per stay, as the listing says. I understand you don't like to spend or on that but it's important to read before. greetings

Very comfortable home for our vacation. Property is nicely furnished with very comfortable beds, linen and strong showers. Felt more like a hotel. We were met by Dora who made us feel welcome and had the place looking immaculate. Pool is warm and we used that versus the larger community pool across the street. Felt the home could have had some cleaning supplies so we could self clean during our stay (counter spray, couple laundry tabs, couple of extra garbage bags). Also we were confused on the Beach Club listing - it references one of the nice ones on the street but the minimum spend totals made it more expensive than the Airbnb so we did not go there. It’s just not really included per se vs any other beach club. That aside we would stay here again without a doubt. We all slept well and a good bed and comfortable sheets is key on vacation. Owner communicated very well from booking to check out and he really cares about his guest satisfaction.

The house is true to the photos and description. In the beginning, there was a slight confusion over the address but the host was as responsive as soon as I communicated with him. Greeted by Dora and she was very friendly and responsive. The day time attendant at the gate is also very friendly and super helpful. The property truly is just across the street from the beach. Our only wish was that there was a dishwasher but otherwise we had a great stay.

Excellent place, very comfortable and spacious. Very modern with nice decoration. Air conditioners worked perfectly, tv sets most everywhere. Ismael was a perfect host with his second hand very helpful and even cooked for us. The wifi is not so good, failing a bit more in the upper rooms - it’s Ok all in all. You can get anywhere with taxis (there is a taxi stand 300 ft away) and Ubers. We would definitely go back if we ever go to Pto Vallarta again

Ismael is a super host! To start out, He was very thoughtful in leaving a welcome kit that included something for everyone, including fruit! We appreciated that very much. He was also always very attentive and responded right away to any of our questions. We neede a spacious place to host three families and this house was what we were looking for, it was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen had almost everything we needed. We highly reccomend this place!

everything work,people at the place make us feel at home,oxxo near,grocery is close,the marina is close.

This house was ideal for a group of friends. Each room has its own private bathroom and personal AC to customize temperatures. The main living area is large and comfortable with a huge dining table. Everything is clean and comfortable and nice added extras like bluetooth speakers for music, Alexa speakers throughout. The pool is a decent size considering the space, a mostly private area to cool off. The beach is about 5 minute walk and you need a key/access card to get in and out. With only one key it's difficult to coordinate coming and going with a group. It was a minor issue as we propped the access open with a rock, but you could find yourself locked into the beach. The beach is nice, much quieter than Vallarta, but almost too quiet. Not too much around for food/drink. In general a great stay, and very safe. A few issues with the kitchen lacking basic cookware and the bbq being too filthy to cook on, but all was resolved quickly once mentioned. Dora is fantastic and a great cook!

This home was exactly as stated in the photos. Home was very clean and had everything we needed. It was also in a private gated community. It was quiet and peaceful. We had a very relaxing stay. Its area is in the middle to drive to any beach you want to go. Our host was responsive and Dora was wonderful. We had zero issues. If we ever return to Puerto Vallarta we'll definitely be back to this Airbnb rental. Thank you Ismael!

I have never left the US and this was my first out of the country adventure and this home made me feel at home everything that was stated in the Airbnb was true. I only have one complaint or two it is a four bedroom house and the hot water heater isn't doesn't supply enough hot water secondly the beach could be just a little bit cleaner other than that it is beautiful and I will be calling Ismail again because I will be returning thank you for the lovely and beautiful time I had in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

Great place! If you want easy access to pools and the ocean, but want to escape the crowds, this is the perfect spot. You're near a few resorts but it still feels like you have the area to yourself. Ismael was a great communicator and Dora was helpful and a great cook. You're very taken care of between the two of them and the security guards who staff the neighborhood entrance 24/7. Because you're in a quieter part of town, you don't have access to restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. But Uber rides, food delivery services, and longer walks to Bucerias kept us well fed and entertained.

Good worthwhile experience. The house was spacious and clean. The beach is a short walk away with private access. The pool can be heated a few degrees by the end of the day. Ismael and his assistant were excellent hosts and available within minutes each time we contacted them. Dora cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast for a very reasonable additional fee. I do recommend this option for families or those whose plans don’t include spending a lot of time downtown.

Home is in a great place. Pool is fun and beach is close by. Ismael and Dora were always available and super helpful when needed. Sadly everything wasn’t perfect but that’s ok. Some of the bedding was stained and the couch in the room was dirty. Also had a problem with the stovetop working but was able to get that fixed relatively quickly. All that to say I would definitely stay here again. Great neighborhood and great activities and restaurants nearby
