About this property

Private Ocean Front Casa with Private Pool & Amazing Views

"Mi casa, su casa." We welcome you to share Casa de Banderas, our home away from home! We are a semi-retired couple who love to bring family & friends to enjoy the Bay, and we make our casa available on a limited basis to "friends we haven't yet met."

Relax and unwind in the serenity of the spacious, comfortable & well-appointed townhome complete with a private, oceanfront pool. Enter to an open plan main floor with its wall of windows overlooking the pool and sparkling ocean. Step outside to your own slice of paradise. View gorgeous sunrises and enjoy peaceful evening views of Bucerias and Puerto Vallarta. Watch the oyster divers from your lounge chair while soaking up the sun, or wander the many beaches and seaside towns nearby.

Our casa is located ~25 minutes' drive north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, right on the ocean, between the small Mexican towns of Bucerias and La Cruz. You can walk to either town at low tide on the beach, ~ 3km each way (some jetties to navigate).

Discover the quaint, small-town shopping and dining in Bucerias and La Cruz with quick access to sights and attractions of the famous sun-drenched resort of Puerto Vallarta, a 40-minute drive away. Punta Mita, Sayulita, and San Pancho are all within 20-30 minutes drive.

Follow your marble staircase upstairs to the primary suite with a king bed and ensuite bathroom. The guest suite upstairs has a king bed that can be converted to twins.

Both bedrooms are tastefully decorated in Mexican decor and have sliding doors that open out to a balcony overlooking the tile pool and the Bay of Banderas. Blackout curtains are ready for late sleepers, or use the sheers to let the pink sky welcome you to a new morning.

On the main floor, glass doors in the living room and dining room open directly onto the covered patio and the pool area, which includes a lower grassy patch with stairs leading to the beach below. Sandy beaches are steps away in either direction. A propane grill is ready for great barbeques, or take advantage of the vast array of amazing local restaurants!

A laundry room adjoins the well-equipped kitchen. Available & optional weekly maid service enhances your vacation, while the pool and yard are maintained for you (twice weekly). Beach towels, a small cooler and beach chairs will enhance your excursions to the best beaches in Mexico. Don't forget the sunscreen!

Wireless available in the casa so bring your laptop and keep in touch. A rental car is useful but not critical, as the bus stop is about 3 blocks away and taxis are reasonable. Buses run frequently, are inexpensive and are quite an education in local culture. A taxi phone number is provided, and there is a taxi stand at nearby Punta Esmeralda.

Enjoy sightseeing tours and activities such as surfing, horseback riding, whale watching, fishing, zip lining through the jungle canopy and mountain biking, to name a few. Our bilingual property manager is a wealth of information and only a phone call away.

We are part of a small townhome community of seven units, half of which are owner-occupied by full time or seasonal residents. Casa de Banderas is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, family vacation, a shared vacation with friends, birthday, anniversary or other special event in your life.

We love our casa and hope you will enjoy your time here.

Excellent Casa

A wonderful location and home that met our holiday expectations. Waking up to the ocean views was awesome and cooling in the pool the perfect offset for the afternoon heat. Great location for quick trips to Buceriaso or La Cruz and elsewhere.

Beautiful property and location on the beach

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The property is awesome, the view amazing. The first night we were treated to a lightning storm display that was awesome viewing from the patio. The location is great, easy to get to PV or Salulita. We would stay there again for sure

So comfortable and relaxing

our stay at Casa de Banderas was so relaxing and the house was perfect and the pool was great. Views excellent and location fabulous as it was quiet but close enough to some action in Bucerias, Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta. we didnt have a car and found the bus very useful if you dont mind a 5 minute walk to the bus stop.

Fabulous property on the water!

We have been traveling to the PV area for years and this is by far the best property we've stayed in. We loved watching the turtles and whales, while lounging by the private pool. The beach is rocky but full of marine life when the tide goes out! We snorkeled, collected shells, and loved watching the puffer fish! The neighbors were lovely and shared great local recommendations. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we booked the home again for next year before we returned home!

Wonderful condo with terrific view!

We had a lovely stay here, except for the 2 days of rain. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet setting and the beautiful flowers and bushes. The pool was great, and there were lots of pool toys. Bought fish up at the marina in La Cruz a couple times, and ate a marvelous dinner there also. Very convenient location, though car very helpful.

Second Time

This is the second time we have stayed at Casa de Banderas and obviously we like or why go back? Very quiet (except when there is loud music across the bay), private and comfortable. If you are adverse to staying in gigantic condo developments - this is the place to stay in Bucerias.

sunny side up

Mary and Ted's condo did not disappoint. We found the condo comfortable, quiet, secure, and rejuvenating. Picturesque sunrises with a cup of coffee in hand... could not think of a better way to start each day. Pantry spices and a supply of water jugs to get us started was a nice touch.Sunday's "farmer's market" in La Cruz's marina showcases a variety of artisans and foods. There is also a bustling seafood market within walking distance of the farmer's market. Fantastic selection and prices.All of the aforementioned would have been enough to ensure a wonderful vacation but I would be remiss if I did not mention the excellent communication we had with Mary (owner) and Jesica (property manager). Upon receiving our welcome letter from Mary, prior to our arrival, I knew we would be looked after. All questions were answered and then some. Check-in was seamless as Jesica arranged to meet us at the condo. We found Jesica helpful and accomodating. Her timely replies to queries were much appreciated.

Perfect view in La Cruz

We spent 6 relaxing nights at lovely Casa de Banderas. The house is well appointed, comfortable and the view cannot be beat. Never having stayed on this side of the bay before, we were delightfully surprised by the beautiful sunrises! Vanessa, the property manager, was absolutely wonderful and besides being a general wealth of information about the area, helped us with our transportation needs so that our stay was completely trouble free. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place to stay in the Bucerias/La Cruz area!

Amazing place to relax

Loved our stay here, from the private pool, the ocean just beyond it, beautiful grounds and the home with everything you need. Close to LaCruz and Bucerias. One of the 4 of us was sick all week and was pretty down and out (chest cold) and I ended up having a terrible fall in La Cruz that required stitches so we did spend a lot of time at home. Would definitely recommend anyone stay here. Need a Dr., the 24 hour pharmacy in LaCruz has amazing ones.

Perfect week ocean front!

Perfect, relaxing condo with a great view and private pool. Perfect size for us 3, full kitchen, full size laundry, lots of comfy seating outside to enjoy the weather. Great neighbors, one side was a lady from Canada, and the other couple luves their full time, very nice and knowledgable about the area and have the cutest dogs who come greet you at the fence quickly whenever they are outside and move on quickly. Mo the puppy was the cutest. Great walks on the beach to explore when the tide is out. Would definately book again next time we come to the area.

Loved Our Stay!

The property owner (Mary) and manager (Jesica) are super responsive and do all they can to ensure a great stay. Additionally, the next door neighbors are friendly and helpful. We did lose power for about 48 hours after a bad storm, and the neighbors (who have a generator) took our refrigerated goods and charged our devices for us. Mary searched out and found and paid for a hotel/resort for us to stay in with power (and I understand she was sick when this happened!) And Jesica gave us a ride to and picked us back up from when it was time to return to the casa. We didn’t rent a car, but had a recommendation from Jesica for a reliable, kind taxi/personal driver. I agree with the listing - while it’s likely a car would’ve been more convenient, it wasn’t necessary. Is the place perfect? No. There’s always a few minor changes that could be made, but it’s pretty darn close! My friend and I loved our stay, we’d stay there again, and I’ve already recommended it to a friend who is interested in visiting Vallarta.

Late Nov 2022

We enjoyed our stay in LaCruz . Casa Banderas is nice , you can see that the owners have been doing some upgrades. Overall a good experience, with the exception of the 4 or 5 little dogs next door. The owner next door does make a effort to keep them from barking all the time & is apologetic. But saying sorry doesn’t really solve the problem. Other thing that surprised me was when same neighbour lady cut through back patio area to go visit another neighbour. I guess it’s considered common area . I not to sure why she just didn’t use their front door? Anyway just a bit obtrusive, in my mind . But overall our experience was good , the owners allowed us a late checkout,(very nice of them) Jessica the property manager was awesome. I would recommend the rental , just be aware of vocal little dogs .

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image
Ted & Mary purchased the casa in 2019. We fell in love with the location & private pool, and we spend as much time as possible at the casa. Sometimes our adult daughters even agree to join us (though often prefer coming with their friends instead)

Why they chose this property

We love the view, the privacy, the tranquility, and especially having our own pool! We are close enough to walk the beach to both Bucerias and La Cruz, yet we are far enough away that we don't have crowds. For the tourist experience, Puerto Vallarta is only 35-45 minutes south by car. For a quaint beach/surfing town experience, Sayulita is a 25-minute drive north. We couldn't ask for a better location for all that we love in Mexico.

What makes this property unique

We have enjoyed seeing whales and dolphins right from our patio, and we watch turtles' heads popping up at high tide. Binoculars provided!

Our neighbors are wonderful and sometimes we walk across the common-area pathway to one another's yards for spontaneous happy hours.
