About this property

Gorgeous villa centrally located overlooking Banderas Bay

We are proud to present Villa del los 2 Rios - a beautiful spacious 4 bedroom villa overlooking the Banderas Bay perfectly situated only three blocks up from the beach and the famous beach boardwalk "The Malecón" in El Centro, Puerto Vallarta.
We just finished a new villa next door to "Villa de los 2 Rios" named "Casa de la Luz" vrbo listing #2889165 making it possible to combine 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.

Villa de los 2 Rios consists of 4 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms, a large terrace with loungers and dining table by the pool overlooking the vast Banderas Bay. Pool lights are protected by GFCI breakers. Two bedrooms have King size beds, one a queen bed and the forth bedroom has 2 twin size beds.

It is decorated in the traditional Hacienda style but with all the modern amenities. The villa features a well equipped kitchen for the aspiring chef on relaxing days spent at the villa.

The clever open floor plan makes this villa very open and airy and connects the living room and kitchen with the dining room which opens up to the fully furnished terrace featuring a dining table for outside dining as well as a smaller breakfast table for unforgettable breakfasts or sunset dinners.

There is ample space to relax with chairs and loungers that are perfect for those lazy days napping or reading a book. There is also an outside bar for cool refreshments. Whether preparing a delicious meal or relaxing on a barstool by the pool with a cold drink, you will enjoy yourself.

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 breathtaking 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 around our rentals 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. Furthermore, the rental will be vacated for 3 days between bookings in order to properly clean and disinfect all areas effectively.

In addition to the measures we have implemented the condominium building itself has also increased cleaning particularly on high-touch surfaces and asking all guests to wear facemasks while moving around the building. We ask that you please keep up to date with the local laws and requirements before entering Puerto Vallarta and continue to abide by good health and safety practises as set out by the CDC and WHO so you can make the most of your time here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

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 Pipi's, 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, Daiquiri Dick's, Langoustine's by the pier, Bravo, 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 centers with movie theaters, 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, snorkeling 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!

Puerto Vallarta

Great property. Staff and manager were excellent. We are pretty seasoned Mexico travelers and know what to expect, and we love it there. It’s not unusual to have construction going on and there is a property right next door under construction. Kind of noisy during the day. Didn’t bother us much. Being near city center comes with the usual city noise. Again nothing any worse than staying in a city anyplace. The location is fantastic and the pool was awesome. We had a great stay.

9 Extremely Happy travelers

Our group of 9 adults from Calgary and Winnipeg Canada enjoyed 7 days of relaxation at Villa de Los 2 Rios. This villa was exactly as listed and provided a wonderful place for us to stay while we explored the Malecon, Romantic zone and all the attractions in the area. The rustic Mexican interior, pool and hot tub made for a tremendous week of fun with family. Our hosts and staff were polite, friendly and quick to respond to any concerns we had. Suffice it to say this is the place you want to stay. Highly recommend.

Magical property in the heart of PV!

We absolutely fell in love with the property! Even before arriving, Brischa & Ted were such wonderful hosts--providing us with great recommendations (Puro Pero-- quaint, unique and scrumptious Peruvian restaurant a block from the villa, & Sean a private chef who cooked a fabulous dinner for us one evening). They were also kind enough to allow us to check in a bit early, which was so helpful!The property itself is gorgeous--beautiful views, nicely decorated and comfortable. I even liked the pillows and I am a pillow snob! Each of the four bedrooms have their own bathrooms and are located in a way to provide privacy for everyone.Everything was immaculate--the maids did a great job preparing for us and again freshening up halfway through our stay. Pool & hot tub were nicely heated and we used them both everyday. Plenty of seating and nice loungers. There was even enough room for us to do yoga poolside.Everyone in our group loved this place and we started talking about a return trip right away! I would warn however that this would not be an ideal place for anyone with mobility issues--fortunately that wasn't an issue for us, but it is worth mentioning. Can't say enough good things about this property or its hosts! It was a perfect stay! Thank you so much. We will be back!

We were welcomed with homemade salsa, guacamole, fresh fruit and flowers. Ted (The host) was incredible and so helpful. The pool and jacuzzi were amazing, loved watching the sunset from the patio. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and Malacon (don’t need a car). We hired a private chef, and it was amazing. Sara was perfect and so helpful. We had her for two days and it was perfect. Irma, (maid service) was also amazing. This is a gem, had everything we needed. Thank you very much. We can’t wait to book again!

Even better than advertised!

AnnBritt and Ted are PHENOMENAL hosts--there's so much joy and peace in this gorgeous space. It's perfect for a larger group--long getaway! It's close to the beach and the Malecon (the last block uphill walk is a grind--and hot) but secluded enough to enjoy peace and quiet. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were all well appointed and the hosts provided fruit and some beverages and coffee ON TOP of this...the staff was super friendly! Staff? Yes--you get maid service too--we had no idea the pool towels would be washed for us and floors cleaned and wow--an extra treat! We hired a private chef, Sara who made authentic Mexican food--each meal more delicious than the previous. We dined out a few times too, but our meals with Sara hit the spot! 100% recommend and we will stay here again. It was the perfect spot and it comes with the perfect hosts!
