3BR Condo in Puerto Vallarta

I loved the place. Very nice and the exit to the beach is perfect. Very close to restaurants, Oxxos, and places to go shopping. The kitchen is very well equipped in case you want to cook there. Mr. Ricardo is very friendly and always attentive.

This location can’t be beat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gaba’s place. Location in the heart of the Golden Zone made it easy for us to get around. We loved having the quiet pool directly out front and we made good use of the large private patio. Gaba’s place and Bucerias is not for everyone, but it was perfect for us. 3 large bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of living space with a well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Living area indoor/outdoor furniture was just ok. Very deep and would have been better suited for the patio. The space needs a little updating and some more cheerful colors in the space in my opinion. Of course, this would not prevent us from renting again. Cushions for patio loungers would be nice. Gaba’s dad is a sweetheart. He really wants you to be happy and enjoy the condo. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

Host Response

Thank you Millie for your feedback and observations, we will work on that. Gaba.

This was our second stay at Gaba's place. It is a beautiful, peaceful and private location right on the beach. The space is very large with spacious bedrooms and living areas, well-equipped kitchen, and a large covered outside patio - perfect for a family or three couples. The pool is pristine and cleaned daily and the ocean is great for early morning swims when the water is calm. There are fantastic restaurants all within walking distance. Our favourites are Karen's (fish tacos and daily catch right on the beach), Sandrina's (Greek fusion), La Postal (great thin crust pizza and coffee), Armando's Place (fresh fish), and Las Flores. Mr Cream is great for breakfast - try the Mexican breakfast dishes. On Mondays there is a small market close by with fresh fruit, breads, cheese and lots more - highly recommended. On Wednesdays there is a fantastic artisan market in the parking lot at La Comer (huge supermarket) just 5 minutes away by cab/Uber. Can't wait to return to this special place.

Gaba's place was wonderful. Being so close to the beach and having direct access to the pool was exactly what we needed. Her father, Ricardo, was so lovely. He was very responsive and helpful when a couple maintenance issues arose during our stay. Also, shout out to the groundskeeper, Jose Luis, who was the sweetest man. There was an issue with the beach gate access, and he loaned us his key every day so we wouldn't lose access. We already want to go back! My only suggestion would be to upgrade the beach umbrella :)

We had the most amazing time at Gaba's place! We were travelling with my parents and our 2 boys (2 and 4) and everything was a dream. The unit was centrally located and walking distance to everything we needed. The town was beautiful, and not too touristy. The unit itself was very generous and had everything we needed, but the highlight for us was the location! It was so handy being ground floor, literally steps to the pool and beach. This meant we didn't have to pack loads of things every time we left the house with our kids, as it was super convenient to just duck back home. The condo complex itself is private, well secured and only had one other person there during our whole stay. On top of that, Gaba and her father were super welcoming and helpful - couldn't recommend this place more and will be coming back as soon as we can!

Our family had a wonderful stay! The beachfront condo is in a great location within walking distance to all of the great restaurants and shops in Bucerias. Ricardo and Jose personally greeting us upon check-in and was around to respond to any questions/needs we had during our stay. We will be staying here again on future visits!

Great location in Bucerias! Being right on the beach is wonderful! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the property has a security gate going into the grounds, as well as for the beach access. That being said, we felt very safe as we walked daily to the restaurants and stores nearby during the day and evening. The grounds of the complex are well-maintained, including the pool. Some minor repairs are required, but it's hard for them to get done when the place is pretty much booked solid! The host's father lives close by and greeted us and was always so very helpful and responsive to any questions, or when we needed more drinking water. This unit is on the main level, providing great access to the pool area and then the beach. We would definitely return to this destination!

Gaba’s house has-as most people have noted here-has a fabulous location. She responds quickly to communications as well as her father, Ricardo, as he is her go to on the ground in Bucerias. Ricardo is delightful and has a huge heart. There were a few issues with our stay: no hot water for a couple of days but then they installed a new hot water heater and all was well… no Internet for a couple of days ….but then they had that fixed and all was well. Housecleaner showed up two hours early on our check out day which was a bit disconcerting for us even though we planned on leaving before checkout time. Towels and linens are just a bit tired and need some refreshing. The yards, foliage and views are spectacular! The space in the condo is open and there’s enough room for everyone. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again because of the location, the space, and how responsive and compassionate Ricardo was to us.

This location can not be beat! The place was comfortable, clean and Ricardo was a pleasure! My kids loved the pool and beach right it out the back door.

Gaba’s place was everything we expected and more! The Airbnb had everything we needed for a perfect stay: plenty of beach towels, air conditioning in every room, lots of drinking water, lounge chairs, super clean, and easy access to the beach and pool. The condo was, also, only a few minutes walk from the main square and from numerous yummy restaurants. Both Gaba and her father Ricardo had fast and effective communication with us the entire trip. It was the perfect stay and will definitely be booking with Gaba and Ricardo in the future!!

We had such a wonderful time at Gaba’s condo. The location was perfect, close to amazing restaurants (we especially loved Leo’s) but also tucked away enough to feel very private and safe. I love that you can walk straight from your patio to the pool. Great for families. It is hard to find so I recommend that you have your taxi driver call Gaba’s father Ricardo and have him explain how to get there. We had an amazing vacation at this condo and will definitely be back. Thank you Gaba and Ricardo!!

The apartment is so much like the photos , it was very clean when we arrived , I highly recommend it, only the detail of the pool that the water is a little cold but in hot weather I think it will not feel , the view and proximity to the sea is the best , we would definitely return , and the attention we had from the owners were excellent .

I would highly recommend Gaba's condo. The location is amazing. You're beach front and in the heart of great restaurants, bars and art galleries. You can have your coffee every morning on the lounge chairs facing the ocean. The pool is beautiful and clean, never busy. It's great having laundry in the condo because you don't have to pack as much. The condo is very spacious. 5 us stayed here and we had tons of room. The walk-out patio is also very large and easily accommodated all of us around the table for meals outdoors. Gaba and her rather Ricardo were very responsive and made sure we were comfortable. Bucerias is a great town, we've been a few times now. There is lots to see and do and we always feel safe here. We look forward to our next visit at Gaba's condo!

Gaba's condo is very well located. The photos accurately represent everything we have. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. We enjoyed the private access to the pool and the sea. The sunset view is stunning. It is close to restaurants and in the center of the small village of Bucerias. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk away. Ricardo, Gaba's father, is very friendly. He sends us a taxi for our return to the airport. I would highly recommend this condo.

Gaba's place is in an outstanding location - within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, the market, a small local grocery store, and the taxi stand if you need to go a little further. The beach in front of the condo is beautiful! The condo is spacious, beautiful, and had all the amenities needed - many towels, kitchen utensils, pool, etc. We ate several meals at the big table on the patio which was well shaded and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Gaba's father checked with us a few times throughout the week to see if we needed anything. His hospitality and offer to assist us was appreciated!

Gaba’s condo is the perfect “hideaway” location (at the end of a dead end street that made for privacy as well as challenges for our Uber drivers to find!). Safe, convenient to many restaurants and steps away from the ocean. The three bedrooms are spacious and the three full baths perfect for a family. We had ample room as there were just four of us, two couples sharing the large, airy and well-stocked condo. You will step from the Great Room onto the large patio and then onto the grass that leads to the very refreshing swimming pool, situated just above the beach. We took our morning stroll down the beach to collect shells and then, in the evening, walked the beach to one of many beach restaurants very close by. There is a maintenance man on property during the day but fencing and gates surround the condo unit for overnight security. Although the maintenance man speaks no English, he can contact the bi-lingual host if we needed anything. A lovely location, perfect host and highly recommended..

Other reviewers mentioned it was a little dirty, unfortunately it was really bad. I'm not a clean freak but the the musty smell throughout the condo was terrible and also a bad septic smell from the drains in the bathroom showers. The condo needed a deep clean, bathrooms, floors, kitchen looked wiped but were not clean. I needed to wash dishes before using them, most dishes were put away dirty. The dish tray was disgusting with old food on bottom. The bath mats were dirty and had mold, we needed to remove them due to the smell. Dish towels had old crusty food on them, they were folded and put away dirty. No paper goods, I had to buy toilet paper, napkins and paper towels. Also, no bottled water, just an empty water jug. It was a shame because the location and grounds were great. I know the conditions are tough in that location but we visited another condos in the complex that did not smell and seemed very clean.

One of the best places to stay in Bucerias, the depa is super big and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Best of all, it has the beach in front with direct access and the pool with ocean views. It has a full kitchen full of any accessories you might need. We also saw a washer and dryer just that we didn't use it. It also has a backyard and garden. In the back block you can easily find 4 great restaurants.

This place is truly amazing. the space itself is beautiful- we were 3 adults and 3 small kids- and the space was perfect for us. it was clean and impeccably furnished and had all the amenities we needed. It is on the first floor which was ideal for our families (with the kids) because we could simply step out our door and go to the pool or beach. Gaba and her father we completely attentive and responsive to all our needs. We could not have asked for anything more. We look forward to visiting again!
