Had a bachelorette getaway at Jeannette and Marc’s little peace of heaven. Our communications with Jeannette were very helpful as far as planning our stay and organizing the trip. All the beds were comfortable. We had Paulita come and cook most of the meals for an amazing price. It was perfect. She was very nice and every meal was great. We were able to walk the beach to a few different bars and restaurants and eat/drink as well. Everyone in the small town was very nice. 30 minute hike to a beautiful waterfall. ( you don’t want to miss out on) Bring water shoes for the beach as there are rocks in the ocean. But you pretty much have your own private beach. As an all women party we felt safe at the house as well as in town and on the beach. We will be back. 💚

This home is in a remote and beautiful setting, it is the only privately owned home on this beach (surrounding it are smaller hostel type hotels, and then a small yoga retreat center). The sunsets were some of the most beautiful we've ever seen, and sitting and watching the waves never gets old. The local hosts, Palita and Raul were so sweet to work with, and truly care for their guests. The furnishings and beds are very comfortable, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is a dream. The home, and staying in Quimixto have some quirks that even the most seasoned travelers might not be expecting. The electricity goes off now and then, and there is minimal hot water in available (plan on short, warmish showers). Make sure you shop and meal plan ahead of time to have all the food, drinks, supplies, groceries, and treats you might want, as there is minimal food options available in this location. Palita cooks filling meals, but they are basic and low on variety. There is a beach restaurant near the house, but it is for the most part more of the same kind of food. If you hope for variety or want to plan on eating out at nicer restaurants, you need to plan to budget in time and $$ to take the panga boat to other villages (20+ minutes) or all the way into PV (45 min). Our time in Quimixto was unforgettable, and definitely the most unique experience we've had on a trip.

This property is truly incredible. It is remote, beautiful and everything you could want in a vacation. We traveled with 6 children ages 6 and under and it was perfect for kids this age. So much for them to do and explore right outside the front door. Palita prepared meals for us throughout our stay here and not only was her food incredible, but her, Raul and the rest of their family were so kind, welcoming, helpful and accommodating. To say Jeannette went above and beyond to make our stay spectacular would be an understatement. She was so helpful in our planning, making suggestions and setting up excursions for us. We could not have done it without all of her help- she is a gem. If you are looking for a beautiful setting removed from the large crowds of Puerto Vallarta, relaxation, adventure, culture and interacting with some amazing people, look no further. I could not recommend this property more.

We had a spectacular 9 day stay here! Jeannette went above and beyond to coordinate everything from the states to make sure that the local caretakers (Raul and Palita, and their son Raulito) had everything ready for us, every step of the way. If you are looking for a magical jungle adventure experience but not too far away from the modern world (it’s only a 45 minute boat ride from the Puerto Vallarta pier) then this is the place for you! 5 full bedrooms, comfortable mattresses, a huge kitchen and living area, and the best part — waking up to the ocean at your front door, literally! It’s hard to describe how awesome this place is. Everything has to be brought in by boat so you can easily see how much time, love and effort Jeannette and Marc have put into this home over the last decade. The best part for us is how well the local family took care of us. We hired them to cook brunch and dinner for us all 9 days and felt so nourished and spoiled. We didn’t have to lift a finger! Which was so nice since we were busy chasing after our 3 year old and 6 month old. The house and village are very kid friendly. We had the BEST time, and can’t wait to one day go back!

Our group of five had an amazing trip. Jeannette and Marc made sure we were well taken care of by locals who shepherded us from Boca de Tomatlan to Quimixto and their beautiful house there. It was much larger than we expected (both inside and out) and we had a fun and comfortable stay. Raul was a lot fun to be around, and always ready to help us get where we needed to go or plan an adventure. His wife Palita cooked the most amazing meals we had while in the country ... wow! Quimixto is quiet and beautiful, but it also has no shortage of opportunities for relaxation or adventure within easy walking distance.

This was my third stay at this gorgeous Quimixto location. The house is huge, and well kept for the remote locale. One needs to expect that the electricity may go out or that the appliances may not be in perfect order. But also know that this is the charm of such a vacation. The local family, Raoul and Paulita bend over backwards to provide, also with warm smiles and open arms. When my littlie was stung by a bee (she’s allergic) the whole village jumped into action to assist. This location is magical, the ultimate way to wind down. I will be back for a fourth! Thank you again!

It was a wonderful family trip... ages 11 to 83! The location is spectacular... right on a beautiful beach with low- key beach bars a few steps away. Loved Quimixto... a very friendly town mostly off the tourist grid. Raul and Paulita took great care of us... very kind people who provided transportation and the most delicious Mexican food we’ve ever eaten. The house was very clean and spacious. Jeanette and Marc communicated with us every step of the way which meant a great deal to us. Would love to return one day!

Very nice place on very quiet beach. There are some small shops and restaurants. Raul was very helpful for the trip by boat and for providing us some fish.

If you’ve never been to Quimixto you dont know that this is the premier spot to stay in the whole area. It is large and perfect for a group of friends or several couples or families. The house is right on the point and the bar with bbq outdoor kitchen and palapas is literally situated right out on the tip of the sand. Locals help with anything you need, small store that has great supplies nearby and 2 beach restaurants are right next to you. Hard to beat this place for some time away from the world and peaceful days with your own nearly private beach. Highly recommended and great hosts.

We loved our stay in Quimixto! Jeanette was very communicative through the whole process and it was just a super relaxing stay. Raul and Palita, as noted by others, were amazing and truly made us feel comfortable and welcome. Raul is there for WHATEVER you need and take advantage of his services to go whale watching or just snorkeling. He knows the area very well. Be sure to coordinate groceries in advance with Jeanette as you will not want to leave for supplies once you get there!
