Better Than Advertised

Yes, the property looked good on Vrbo, but it was even better in person. The rooftop pool area offered a magnificent unobstructed view of the ocean. In addition, there was a full kitchen and barbecue area. The two bedrooms were both suites with plenty of space and on opposite sides of the apartment. The quality of the materials in the unit was top notch. I would highly recommend this place for two couples or someone with one or two children who don’t mind sleeping together.

Absolutely Beautiful Rental Property!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks and felt like we were living in our own private palace! The apartment is gorgeous. It is fully equipped, spacious, clean, comfortable and decorated so beautifully. The pool and upper lounge levels have breathtaking views. Communication with the owner, Rick, was excellent and helpful. We are grateful to have experienced such an extraordinary vacation property. Thank you, Rick!

Great place to stay in PV

Our host is a super host! Ricky helped with anything and everything. From giving us suggestions as to where to eat to replacing our refrigerator in a moments notice. It’s a very special, beautiful apartment (for lack of a better word) elegant marble floors, and countertops. The kitchen has everything you can imagine. The view from upstairs is magnificent. A pool level to enjoy and a peaceful lounging level to watch the sunset. Our neighbors, Ed & Tammy and Rick were amazing. All in all a wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic Property with a great view

We would love to thank Rick for a wonderful stay. The property is stunning with a fantastic view overlooking the downtown and ocean from the infinity pool ! The property has 6 levels which the top 2 levels are a common area for the guests on floor 1 and 3. The property is VERY clean and well taken care of, the beds were 10/10 comfortable! Rick is the owner and is so accommodating and willing to help make your trip most enjoyable. Oh... Did I mention the stunning 5th floor with the infinity pool and outdoor kitchen? If you think the online pictures look good, wait until you see it in person! Thank you to Rick and his family , we will definitely be back again! Ken & Heather

A Good Find in Puerto Vallarta

A spacious home, in a traditional style, with all of the modern conveniences that one could want, including an elevator. The kitchen was fully equipped for those who like to cook. The property is located in a fine neighborhood close to, but not in, the very busy center of the Zona Romantica. The view from the top floor of the building is spectacular.

We had a great stay. The location is central which makes getting around easy. We walked almost everywhere we went. There is a hill involved which we were a bit concerned about at first but you get accustomed to it quickly. The host Rick and his family are wonderful and friendly people. The condo it’s self is spacious and beautiful. The upper shared covered deck was our Favorite part. We sat up there most nights. The sunsets were spectacular! Thanks Rick, Laura and Andrea.

Excelente!!

Great two bedroom, three bath pad! Very well decorated, clean and pretty much everything is there that you can imagine you may need - let's just say it feels like home!! Ocean views are great, the pool is a very nice way to end the day and watch the sunset with your favorite companion and drink. The viewing deck is great for relaxing and to enjoying the wonderful view of the bay and weather of course. Very quiet location too! There is lots of shopping, a great LEY EL GRECO grocery store minutes away and fish market right across the street from LEY- we had a HUGE shrimp feast at the pad - over 2 KG of fresh shrimp at prices you won't believe. Very good food and drink nearby for sure. At Pool Vallarta, they make the best mojitos and expresso and very reasonably priced. Just a short walk down the hill and you are at the start of the Malecon PV. We used UBER allot to get around. - very easy to use and most the time cheaper than taxi. If they are busy, just wait a minute and rebook and you will get a lower fair. IN ALL we would give Rickey's place 10 stars! We would definitely book to stay here again - maybe even for many weeks! You will NOT be disappointed!!

Absolutely Amazing.

We have rented VRBO properties for years in numerous locations. This was easily the best place we have ever stayed, and likely Will ever stay in. The unit is located just a 5 minute walk from the Malecon, and a 5 minute walk from a great grocery store, 2 minutes from a coffee shop, restaurants everything everyone would need. It’s a 5 min walk to a great beach too where you can quickly rent chairs and umbrella. The neighborhood is legit Mexico, located in the “5th of December” area, so if you like the Four Seasons or Secrets, know that you are coming to a real living neighborhood. Personally we LOVE THAT. Church bells to start and end the day, but otherwise it was completely quiet. The area was an absolute joy. The Unit - OMG the Unit. We loved it. It’s better than my house. Perfectly appointed with fantastic appliances, superbly comfortable and outfitted with absolutely everything. Couldn’t ask for more. Cried when we left. The property also has shared areas that were truly spectacular. Great gym in the basement. The 5th floor is a stunning infinity pool where we relaxed after long days sightseeing and we saw whales most days from there. There’s an outdoor kitchen and bbq we didn’t use, but gosh I wish we had…. Then the 6th floor comfy relaxing area with stunning view… if one wanted to just sit and read for a few hours, I’m not sure there’s a better setting. Staff was outstanding, attentive and the entire property was spotless. Fabulous trip and fantastic hosts…. Can’t wait to go back!!! Truly best vacation yet.

Fabulous place

We really enjoyed staying here. Rick and his staff will make sure you are well taken care of and the property is even more beautiful than the photos. If you like to cook, the units have everything and more for making lovely meals to enjoy on the terrace. Close to town so easy access for walking but far enough that it is not too noisy. Beds are comfortable, apartment is quite large and perfect for one or two couples.

Everything was beautiful, the beds were extremely comfortable, the pool and lounge areas were excellent. Elaine and Rick were wonderful hosts and were very prompt and helpful with any questions we had.

Everything was perfect, the decoration of the apartment has very nice taste and has absolutely everything! The only thing I could complain was the WiFi didn't get to all parts of the flat but you can only go to the living room or beautiful balcony to get it and then forget all about it for the nice view. We have a wonderful stay, first time we were there and we have the opportunity we will gladly return.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Edington

I first came to live in a Puerto Vallarta in 2003 and bought a townhouse in the Marina area, where I lived for a few years. Shortly thereafter, I realized that I wanted to be in the heart of everything so I sold the townhouse and bought this house. I am so happy with my decision.

Why they chose this property

Oh my Goodness, the question has to be why not!!!! You can do everything from this location, or you can nothing at all. The suite is beyond comfortable, extremely clean and well maintained. It is private and because I live onsite, everything will be taken care of.

What makes this property unique

I, as the owner, will be here to check you in and out. If there is something you need, I can help you obtain it. If there is a problem, it will be resolved quickly. Use of the pool and upper levels of the house is included.
