Nice Condo in a Nice Location - Would Recommend for Longer Stays

First of all, communication with John & Andy, his property manager, was EXCELLENT. I never waited more than an hour for a response. We were only at the condo for 6 nights. Good security. The condo was nice & clean. Beautiful views of the ocean. Loved falling asleep & waking up to the sound of the ocean. Condo had everything you would need for preparing meals. We didn't cook and only used the microwave to reheat leftovers. The restaurant/bar on the property made excellent food - I loved their shrimp omelet - I had it twice. The grounds were kept clean, as was the pool. Rules at the pool are STRICTLY enforced. Most of the rules were understandable, but we are responsible adults & would have loved to have been able to enjoy our drinks in the pool. We use BruMates that are leak proof and shatter proof. So that was a bummer. But we survived. We did notice that some rules were allowed to be broken by locals, especially after dark. But security was really good about making people get out of the pool at 11:00 and shutting down the noise levels. You will need to take taxis or use Uber to get to Bucerias and Nuevo, and obviously Puerto Vallarta. No big deal. We did that every day to go out for dinner. This was a relaxing, chill trip for my husband and I without an itinerary of any kind. It was nice to wake up and head straight to the pool, have breakfast, hang out for a while or sometimes all day. Walk from condo to pool was no big deal. Great stay! Would recommend for longer stays.

Wonderful spot on the beach

We had a great time staying at Aria Ocean. The place felt very secure and clean. Access to the beach was very convenient. Aside from some construction noice , it’s a great stay.

If you’re looking to escape the bustling beachfront vendors in Puerto Vallarta but still want to be close to dining and shopping options, this is the perfect place for you.

Great location, safe

The property is right on the beach, there are 2 huge pools and a smaller one and plenty of showers to wash off the sand and salt water. You can chill by the pool or take the beach chairs and a wave board and chill on the beach. We did both. You can hear the waves from the bedroom, very nice. The only thing was the bedroom ceiling was a bit loud, but it’s white noise so it’s not too bad. Uber is readily available. Good poolside cafe and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The condo has everything you need: laundry machines and detergent and a kitchen with all the cookware. We enjoyed our stay! Would recommend!

Had a great time!

We stayed 16 nights in Jack’s condo & had the very best time. Our stay wasn’t without a couple glitches; the water main in the entire complex broke during our stay but was quickly fixed by the property management so the inconvenience lasted a day, & later that same day a pipe under our kitchen sink broke and flooded the kitchen. Andy, Jack’s condo manager was able to get Armando, his maintenance guy in to dix it almost immediately. It turned in to a bigger issue when the fix didn’t hold, but my husband was able to get it on tight which wasn’t a problem for the rest of the trip. Response time to the issues was phenomenal & we don’t consider this hiccup a blight on our over all stay. The condo itself was bright and airy & after becoming acclimated to what was available for cooking, we found everything necessary for making good drinks & good food! Having a TV was great, the Kingsized bed in main bedroom was comfortable and we really enjoyed waking up to view of the beach! We would suggest a very deep and thorough clean of the entire condo but it overall wasn’t an issue for us. Security to the property is 24/7 and strict. I liked that drinks aren’t allowed in the pool - it cuts down on drunken mayhem and the restaurant was a win too - attentive waiters and reasonable prices for really GOOD food! There is a convenience store just outside the complex that was very convenient as well. The property as a whole was amazing and we’d come back again if Jack would have us! Thanks so much!

Spring break vacation

Condo has a beautiful ocean view. Location was a little far to walk to any restaurants. We traveled with a couple that were In their 70’s and it was too far for them to walk into town. We used taxis or Ubers to get around. The restaurant on site had some really good food though and grocery stores were only about a 10 minute Uber ride away. The only complaint we had was coming during spring break at the same time with the locals. It was just to busy and people were coming in car loads for the day and the pool and beach were extremely busy and loud. Several party’s on the beach with loud music until after 1 in the morning. Once Spring break was over though the atmosphere slowed down and it was very pleasant. Condo was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your condo with us!

November stay

Very happy with the accomodations everything was as advertised. Well equipped unit closet to the beach. Used the barbeque on the deck most nights which was a bonus. Great to be able to walk on the multipurpose trail through Nuevo every day and a close walk to the grocery stores. Only downside was the poolside patio furniture which features fixed position loungers that are uncomfortable however the unit comes equipped with some folding chairs that were more comfortable. Overall a very pleasant trip

Our second stay

This was our second stay in the condo. It was very clean and well appointed. I personally find the bedroom too bright at night due to a lot of lighting outside and from the pool area. I feel it would be fit from black out blinds. Otherwise, a very comfortable stay.

Great condo near the beach

Very nice stay in April 2023 (after Easter). The condo is very well located, and the site is safe. Very clean and with everything we need for our week. We loved the little beach chairs, and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We took advantage of the terrace with its incredible view and its BBQ. The small restaurant on site is very good too. Although we had no one to greet us when we arrived, we had easy access to the condo, as Jack's directions were very clear. Jack always responded quickly to our questions for the reservation. The only small negative, which is not the fault of the host, is the noise from late revelers at the pool and on the beach. We had two nights with a lot of inconvenience. For our food and beverage purchases, La Comer is less than 5 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes on foot and offers us a wide selection of products. Bucerias is absolutely worth discovering! In short, a wonderful stay and we will be back!! Thanks Jack!

Great Stay

The property was as described in the pictures and written description, although a deep cleaning to the unit prior to our arrival would have been appreciated. We absolutely loved it there. The local contact was very responsive to the small hiccups (issues with both toilets and hot water) we had at the beginning of the stay. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and would stay there again if it were available when we have our next trip. Jack was also very responsive and gave us all the details needed to get us going. Super thankful for the cooler and the chairs. We used both on a daily basis.

About the host

Hosted by John A Chorlton (Jack)

We live in the Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia, Canada.
We enjoy what our local area has to offer, such as lake activities, wine tours, hiking, mountain biking, and camping, skiing, and more.

Why they chose this property

We are quite familiar with Nuevo Vallarta, and when this property came available, we bought it. The pools are great, and the beach is fantastic, and the condo is the closest to the beach and has an unobstructed view of the ocean and pools. We like the location, surrounded by condo buildings, and some 5-star resorts. Bucerias and Paradise Village are close by, as is the Mega and La Comer grocery stores, and a Starbucks.
