About this property

Playa Gemelas Private Beachfront with All Amenities in a Gated Community

This Beachfront/Oceanfront 1800 sq. ft. , 3 BR, 2.5BA condo offers spectacular panoramic views of Bahia de Banderas Bay. It is nestled into a peaceful cove, surrounded by lush and colorful tropical plants. It is situated on the finest swimming beach in the Puerto Vallarta area. This is a gated community with 24 hr. security and a highly service oriented English speaking staff. Our unit is located on the 7th floor of an end building. The views are panoramic and unobstructed. The condo was fully renovated during the Summer of 2015 in a comfortable high end modern style. It now boasts Crema Nevada marble floors throughout, custom tiled bathrooms, onyx and marble counter tops, all new appliances and fixtures, and a beautifully updated decor. The unit is completely equipped with everything you might need. Dishes, utensils and cookware are plentiful. The bedrooms feature comfortable beds with hotel quality mattresses and linens. There are two King suites and one double with its own half bath. Each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit. Off the Living Room and the Master Bedroom is a spacious balcony where, at the end of another day in paradise, you can watch the dramatic sunsets that are typical in PV. During the day, it is your perch to watch pelicans, dolphins or even whales passing by.
Nothing separates you from the white sandy beaches other than the 3 inviting, heated swimming pools. These are child friendly with shallow ends, and there is even a separate area for kids in the infinity pool. The impeccable manicured grounds and gardens are rich with tropical trees, plants and flowers. One of the gardens features a common area with grills. The beach is beautifully maintained, and the staff provide beach chair and umbrella service on request.
There is a mini-mart next door for basic needs, including beer, wine and tequila, and a wonderful Palapa beach restaurant, built on the rocks, at the waters edge. They feature a great happy hour, delicious food, and reasonable prices. One short walk across the sand and you are there!
Taxis are called for you through reception and buses run every 10 minutes to take you to town. This is a PERFECT location: away from the noise and crowds but only 10 minutes away by car from all of the great restaurants, nightclubs, cafes, shops and galleries in the quaint El Centro.
Daily maid service is available at an extra charge. A private chef can also be arranged. The condominium has private WIFI and a wireless Bose sound system to play your iTunes or internet radio. There are two Smart TVs - one in the living room, and one in the 2nd master bedroom. Parking on the premises is plentiful and free for guests.

One stroll through the Romantic Zone or down the Malecon in the center of town, and you know this area is a haven for artists. Our condo reflects this, and is extensively decorated with original paintings by Mexican artists. It offers upscale furnishings, indoor/outdoor seating areas, and comfortable entertaining space. The lighting is designed to make evenings in this condo enchanting!
It is an idyllic launching pad for your Puerto Vallarta vacation!

Slice of paradise

A spacious and lovely condo with a spectacular view and location. We saw whales multiple times each day from the beautiful and large balcony and fell asleep to waves through the night. Many thanks to Monika for being such a responsive and gracious host! We hope to return many times.

Beautiful Condo

This condo is stunning, the art work is beautiful. With an amazing ocean view we were treated to watching humpbacks from the comfort of the patio. So very clean, with everything we need to prepare meals. Room service is available from the beach restaurant, at an additional, but reasonable price. Communications with the hosts were wonderful. Quick response and touched base during our stay to ensure our needs had been met. 100% would recommend!

Our holiday in Puerta Vallarta

We had a great stay at the property. The property was so well kept and we enjoyed the pool and beach access. The beds were all comfortable and we were able to be together but also have some private time. The balcony was where we enjoyed evenings with each other. The only draw back was the distance from the city.However, that was a plus as well as we felt we were truly in paradise. Thanks so much!

Playa Gemelas

Condos were in a great area. Perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the sun. If you are looking for a partying place, not here. Family friendly. A lot of construction going on to better the complex. Only downfall was no AC in common area. Beautiful wood doors but they don’t close completely to cool the one bedroom. Needs a few updates but overall, a great experience. It was our first time not staying at an all inclusive hotel/resort. Love Puerto Vallarta!!

Beautiful space with lots of little extras!!

We have just returned from a most memorable week at Playa Gemelas! The condo is furnished with beautiful and simple furnishings that celebrate the space and the culture of PV. Filled with all the little extras that make a home away from home, we found everything we needed with ease and comfort. The grounds, pools, and beach are stunning! I can't say enough great things about our time spent here. We will certainly be back!

Playas Gemelas Stay

My friend and I rented the condo for a week. We loved the location, especially the view from the balcony. Every day we went down to the beach for a swim, and in the evening we would go into Puerto Vallarta for dinner. Although the rental is outside of the town centre, it was easy to get around by bus. We also took the bus to the Botanical Gardens, which is worth a visit. The condo was also clean and had everything we needed, including purified water. Although the unit had AC, we did not use it because temperatures were cool enough with using the fan and outside breeze. We look forward to a return visit to Puerto Vallarta and Playas Gemelas.

Amazing views!

We loved our stay here. The views were amazing and we loved spending time just watching the waves and the Pelicans flying by numerous times a day. The unit was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The pools were great and perfect temp. We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas set up daily. The snorkeling was great right off the beach. The owners were quick to answer any questions and super friendly. The taxi service to town was so easy...just call to front desk and they sent taxi right to the building. Highly recommend this unit!

Perfect location, stunning views, great beach.

We spend 3 weeks at this beautiful condo at Playas Gemelas. We loved the location and the beach. The beach is perfect for swimming, and we spent nearly every day there. The location is convenient, only 15-minute cab ride to town but far enough to be quiet and relaxing. The views from the balcony are even better in person, we couldn't get enough. The condo is well stocked, functional, and comfortable for any family. Communication with the owners has been superb. Monika and Bruce has been most gracious hosts, provided many useful tips and information, and responded very promptly to any questions or concerns. Gemelas complex was well appointed, pools were great too, staff and security outstanding. All in all, a wonderful vacation. We shall be back for sure!

Gorgeous condo, stunning views!

We arrived late due to a changed flight time and were impressed to find a spacious condo, beautifully furnished and decorated with Mexican paintings and pottery. Monika helped us to preorder a grocery delivery, so our food and drinks were amazingly already there and put away! Super comfy beds and sofa, and the kitchen has everything you need. The next morning we awoke to stunning views and saw how truly gorgeous this condo is. With the doors open, you get the ocean breeze and you can hear the waves on the beach - a very special place. The trees and gardens on the property are lush and very well cared for. We spent a lot of time in the middle swimming pool, it’s beautiful and new. You can sit in the sun or under a tree there on a lounger and stare out at the ocean. We saw whales, dolphins and a sea turtle! The waves were sometimes a little large but we did have some great ocean swims. Into town is 10-15 minutes by car. We mostly used Uber but we also took the bus in once and the taxis are right there too. We tried a ton of different restaurants on this trip and had some amazing meals. Nearby restaurants are the one at the Girasol condos next door and we also had a yummy breakfast at Blanca Blue down the road at Garza Blanca. We went to the zoo which was quite fun, as we got to feed the animals! We also did the Luxury Snorkel trip with Vallarta Adventures - so fun! Beautiful vacation. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Monika and Bruce!

Spectacular week!

My husband my husband and two children, 16 & 14 spent an incredible week in Playa Gemelas. The condo was perfect! Roomy, clean, open, comfortable and well appointed. The balcony and view were the highlight. We loved sipping coffee in the morning and watching the pelicans and even saw whales. The beach was perfect and the pool was great with plenty of chairs. We enjoyed snorkeling right on the beach below and saw many fish. Easy 10 to 15 minutes taxi ride or bus ride into town. A quiet and peaceful retreat.

Everything the was not mentioned like loose cannot doors chipped tables she tried to blame on us. I was so shocked and insulted. I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals but this is a first for me.

Perfect Beach Getaway

My family of six (2 40-something parents and 4 kids aged 10-18) absolutely loved this property. We were looking for accommodations in the South Shore area so we could enjoy the rock, beach, and mountain views , and this was the ideal location. We enjoyed the views from the patio every morning and evening. Our days were spent on the beach and in the pool. It was wonderful to have chairs ready on the beach with food and beverage service provided by the restaurant down the beach from the condo. The rocks on the right side of the beach are home to many different types of fish (even starfish!) that we were able to see while snorkeling on a sunny day (no snorkel tour needed). We also had many fun trips into town trying different restaurants, walking the Malecón, and enjoying the markets. Walmart and Soriana’s were perfect for groceries and needed provisions. Bruce was very responsive when I inquired how to cool down the condo quickly when it had been open to the air all day before our early evening arrival. We followed his directions and spent a few hours at the beach and pool while it cooled down and it was great for the rest of our stay. The beds and couches were all very comfortable for sleeping and the decor is beautiful. We highly recommend this property and would love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Moore

Host profile image
We are a professional couple living in Atlanta, GA, and are co-owners of this property with my brother, who is a physician in Denver. We both have large families, with 8 kids between us, and are not able to visit Puerto Vallarta as often as we would like. We have decided to open our home to discerning vacation renters.

Why they chose this property

My family has been vacationing in Puerto Vallarta since the 1980's. This town has always held a special attraction due to its great blend of old world Mexican charm and access to upscale, modern amenities such as great restaurants and fabulous art galleries. Playas Gemelas is in the perfect location, with easy access to town, yet, the atmosphere is peaceful and unhurried - a perfectly private little slice of paradise.

What makes this property unique

Since previously my parents lived in PV several months out of the year, this condo is appointed and equipped as a home, not a rental unit. You will not find bare cupboards and a few utensils here. Most everything you will need is provided. This Summer we completed a total renovation of the unit, and it is new and crisp. There are locally owned supermarkets and fish vendors in town, and a WalMart, Sam's Club and Costco by the airport. The fresh seafood is not to be missed! For some quick, basic items there is a small grocery in the Girasol building across the beach - yes, they carry beer, wine and tequila. If you are not interested in cooking, there are many wonderful restaurants within easy reach.
