About this property

Casa de la Luz Brand-new villa just above the Malecón overlooking Banderas Bay.

We are very excited to introduce "Casa de la Luz" - a beautiful villa overlooking the Banderas Bay and the mountains in the back, perfectly situated only three blocks up from the beach and the famous beach boardwalk "The Malecón" in El Centro, Puerto Vallarta.
It's next door to "Villa de los 2 Rios", vrbo listing #1079930 and can be combined for a 7 bedroom villa for larger family or friend gatherings.
Its magnificent location on the Banderas Bay on the Mexican Riviera makes it a true jewel and a dream destination!

This is a top location offering the best of everything within walking distance that Puerto Vallarta has to offer such as fine dining, galleries, shopping, tours and other activities as well as of course the beaches and cozy beachfront restaurants and bars.

"Casa de la Luz" is decorated in the traditional Hacienda style but with all the modern amenities.
The roof terrace with its breath taking views features a BBQ and dining table on one side for nice dinners and a dipping pool overlooking the vast Banderas Bay and the mountains behind.

The villa features a well equipped kitchen on the 3rd floor for the aspiring chef on relaxing days spent at the villa with a gorgeous ocean view and also a smaller kitchen on the bottom floor making the Queen bedroom into a private studio. There's a dining table in the kitchen but also another dining table on the roof terrace for unforgettable breakfasts or sunset dinners.

It consists of 3 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. Two bedrooms have King size beds, one a Queen bed.

The floor plan with the stairs in the middle giving a lot of light with a roof in clear plexiglass makes this villa very open and airy. A beautiful hanging Mexican glass lamp is the centre piece over the fountain below making it a very calming and relaxing space.
Due to the stairs it is not handicap friendly or for guests with problems with stairs.

Marvel at the fantastic ocean views overlooking all of Banderas Bay as far as the eye can see, with the Marieta Islands in the center and make yourself feel at home in this perfectly located Puerto Vallarta villa.

Your experience and happiness are our top priority and during this usual time with Covid-19, that also means your health and keeping safe too. While we have always had high standards for cleaning, we have introduced some new measures within our rentals in accordance with guidelines set out by health authorities and vrbo to help ensure everyone can stay safe: This includes providing hand sanitisers and antibacterial soaps at the villa and providing our cleaning staff with extra PPE and cleaning products. Moreover, the cleaning staff have been trained to pay extra care to thoroughly disinfect door handles, light switches, utensils, faucets and television remotes and as always, we thoroughly wash all linen between guests.

First-time travellers come for the sun, sea and fun, but Puerto Vallarta's many wonderful restaurants make this a return food destination as well. Enjoy an exquisite high-end meal overlooking the bay from a cliff-top aerie, or bury your toes in the sand under a palapa and order some fresh-caught fish and hot-off-the-griddle tortillas.
Dining in Puerto Vallarta is very relaxed and dress code is nearly nonexistent - everything goes!

The Malecón is Puerto Vallarta's beautiful boardwalk and covers nearly two miles along the beach. Surrounded by different bars, nightclubs and restaurants the Malecón is lined by large bronze sculptures from many talented local artists.

Connoisseurs of fine dining are in paradise each November, during Puerto Vallarta's annual Gourmet Dining Festival, and in May every year we have the Restaurant Week(s), at the end of the month.
Some very nearby restaurants include Puro Peru, Pipi's, Si Señor, Café de Artistes, Barcelona Tapas, Trio, La Cigale, El Barracuda beach restaurant and numerous other restaurants lining The Malecón and nearby streets.
Just across the river Rio Cuale to the south lays the Southside with all it's cozy restaurants as La Palapa, Joe Jack's Fish Shack, Margarita Grill, Fajita Republic and so many more in addition to everything from wonderful little Mexican family-owned restaurants to great taco stands.

The beautiful Banderas Bay, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountain range, is the second largest bay in the Western Hemisphere. Its climate is sub-tropical and features many dense forests, rivers and waterfalls. With an average temperature of 27°C (80°F), it is dry in winter and humid with some afternoon showers in the summer. The rain usually falls in the late afternoons with clear blue skies in the day, making it a year round holiday spot.

Puerto Vallarta's incredible natural beauty combined with the small town atmosphere and the warmth and friendliness of the people makes Puerto Vallarta a very special place.

The old and the new are blended in Puerto Vallarta, and offers all from simple pleasures to sophisticated charms. Here one can find anything from Taco stands to exclusive restaurants, quaint art galleries, air conditioned shopping centres with movie theatres, café's, beach vendors selling Mexican handicrafts, traditional open air markets, walking Mariachi bands on the beach and an incredible variety of activities such as whale watching, boat dinner cruises, Botanical garden, swimming with dolphins, zip lines, tours to near villages, fishing, snorkelling and an array of sight-seeing tours.

If you are looking for a Puerto Vallarta vacation to remember that will leave nothing to be desired, then look no further than Villa de los 2 Rios, which might be your return destination for years to come!

Casa de la Luz!

Casa de la Luz is absolutely beautiful. Everything was impeccably clean. The host met us upon arrival to give us a tour of the home and instructions. The beds are enormous and each room had its own en-suite restroom/shower. The kitchen was stocked with fruit, water, beer, juices, salsa, and chips and guac. And the view…oh the view! Absolutely insane view of town and the ocean.

Wonderful stay

This property was perfect for my family and met all of our needs. The property managers made the check in-process super easy. They even had refreshments and freshly made snacks for us! The house is beautiful, clean and well-maintained. Most importantly, it felt authentically Mexican with a central open-air courtyard and beautiful tile throughout. Each morning we gathered for coffee in the kitchen where we opened the retractable doors and took in the beautiful view of the Pacific while enjoying the cool breeze. In the evenings we met on the rooftop to swim and enjoy dinner together as the sun set. Each room was spacious, the bathrooms were well equipped and we even had housekeeping service once during our stay. We found the locations perfect as it was quiet but within easy walking distance to all the attractions—the beach, restaurants, shopping and Zona Romantica. We could not have been happier with this property and look forward to retuning soon!

A perfect stay

We absolutely loved Casa de la Luz! Things that stood out for us:- ideal location This is located in a quiet neighborhood in the old Centro, just a few blocks from the Cathedral. Not being familiar with PV, one of our big concerns was that we’d be right next to a loud club and not be able to sleep. But this is such a quiet are. Very peaceful and safe. The location also made it perfect for walking - there’s tons of shopping, restaurants and places to see within walking distance, not to mention the main boardwalk!-view and adorable propertyThe open-air kitchen and top floor both have amazing views. The property itself is so cute and charming! The host and the cleaning staff were so kind and helpful. It was just a great experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a space that’s perfect for intimate gatherings of friends and family, close to everything but still peaceful, this is the place to stay!

Casa de La Luz

Thoroughly enjoyed the house! Great location with easy walk to top restaurants and Malecón. We stayed two weeks and absolutely not one item we could complain about!! Especially loved the perfect view of the nightly fireworks. Loved the location in historic PV where we could observe local families going to work and school.

Not what we expected

Could use some revision. There really is not a place for 6 people to hang out anywhere. The kitchen table was stuck close to the wall - would be better centered so everyone could enjoy the view - which was great. The “pool” was very small. Looked larger in the pics. There was a table in the back on that floor but no one wanted to go back there. All in all it just was off the mark. Looked good on paper but in person not so much

Great with small shortcomings

Very nice house, lot of stairs. Only 2 things we would have like better. There is no open space with living room to gather everybody in a more relax setting only a kitchen/dining and rooftop terrace which is not enough protected from the sun during the day. But we spent very nice time in the dipping pool. Very lively area so expect a bit noisy.

Wonderful week at Casa de la Luz

We had a wonderful stay with our son, his wife and our 22 year old daughters. From our first communication, AnnBritt was a delight to work with and checkin was easy with the property managers, Brischa and Ted. They were accommodating when our flights were delayed, offered us a late checkout and were very responsive during our stay when we had a few questions/requests. The house is beautifully updated, The three ensuite bedrooms worked well for us. The rooftop pool (the views!) and lounging areas were great! The kitchen also offers stunning views of the city and sea. The cleaner and the pool guy came twice during our stay - beds were changed and towels laundered- such luxury! The house is townhome style in a with 4 levels in a hilly but very nice neighborhood.

Fantastico!!

From our initial booking to the last day of our trip, Brischa and Ted were absolutely EXCELLENT hosts! Prior to arrival, they answered any and all questions and during our stay they addressed any issues within minutes and offered great suggestions during our visit. Cold beverages, fresh fruit, chips and salsa and guacamole welcomed us as soon as we arrived. The property is modern, clean (housekeeping and pool service every other day) and close to everything! Kitchen equipped with new appliances made making meals easy and convenient. Living in Centro PV, expect a bit of noise since you are in the midst of a bustling community. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home experience and will definitely stay again when we return!

Wonderful ocean view villa for a group of friends

We’d definitely stay again ! We had a great stay made extra special by the warm welcome, walkthrough and communication by our hosts. The cleaners and pool guy were super friendly and nice services. The kitchen was well equipped and we really appreciated the bonus welcome supplies left by our hosts. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The rooftop is amazing and way better than the listing photos suggest. Bring eye masks and ear plugs if you wanna sleep into the morning. This was fourth VRBO stay in P.V. and a bit farther from the bars. Nonetheless we found the walk to be pleasant — especially downhill. Ubers we’re an easy way home for less than $2 usd.

Séjour extraordinaire

La demeure est magnifique! Nous avons passé des moments incroyables à profiter de la terrasse qui offre des points de vue splendides sur la mer et le quartier. Ce que l'on voit sur les photos, c'est ce que l'on voit sur place. La villa est également bien située autant pour la plage que pour les restos et les promenades dans les rues. Place sécuritaire. Nous avons reçu un accueil très attentionné de la part des propriétaires. Ils font preuve d'une flexibilité vraiment appréciée par rapport à l'arrivée et au départ. Très bonne communication avec eux avant et pendant le séjour. Grande disponibilité et intervention rapide pour répondre à nos besoins durant le séjour. Des gens vraiment sympathiques.
