About this property

Zona Romantica. Beautiful Panoramic Ocean View

We use a professional administrator to manage our condo. We highly recommend coordinating with the administrator to coordinate airport pick-up to ensure entry into the building and unit. There is no lockbox because the entrance to the building is secured and no one is available to let you into the building let alone the condo.

Not only does this two-bedroom two bath condo have a great location, in a tranquil 16 unit building, but it’s within walking distance or a short cab ride to all the best restaurants, beaches, and nightspots Puerto Vallarta has to offer. You can start your day by waking up to a view of the bay from the master bedroom. Next you start up the la Pavoni espresso machine and enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony. After enjoying the view you need to decide whether to take a swim in the heated pool, walk down the steps to the beach, explore old Vallarta or do nothing at all and just stay on the balcony and read a book. I forgot to mention there are two loungers on the balcony for the required afternoon siesta. To my dismay I had to remove the hammock because every year birds would cut the fabric to make nests. Many guests commented they preferred lounge chairs, so I made the decision to remove the hammock.

Prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or grill on the patio or just eat out at some of the finest restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. After dinner, hit the clubs, walk the Malecon, or relax in the living room and just watch cable TV a DVD or listen to music.. If you don’t feel like cooking, we can arrange for a cook. Wireless internet is available for guests who unfortunately may have to work a bit, answer emails to tell friends how much fun they are having or just want to surf the web. The best part is you can do all of this from the balcony or anywhere else in the condo.

The walk to the beach is fairly easy and some parts of the public steps you need to be careful because they are not maintained by our association. The community has accomplished numerous improvements to create crosswalks and a sidewalk along the Carretera 200 to the center of town which use to be full of potholes. Walking back to the condo from the beach can take some effort for those who've had a few Margaritas or not in shape. If you want the party vibe of the beach, this location isn't for you.

This condo/home has been decorated with a Mexican flair. If you’re looking for a chain hotel experience don’t bother to make this your vacation experience. Just feel sorry for those who booked their vacation spot away from old Puerto Vallarta. A/C throughout the condo and there is a laundry room if you didn’t bring enough clothes. Worried about your passport and money, there is a safe to store your valuables.

Twice a week maid service is included for a stay of 2 weeks or more. We can arrange more frequent cleaning service upon request. We can arrange for a local chef if you don't feel like cooking or going out.

The living area is approximately 1,500 square feet. There is one California King in the master bedroom and two double beds in the guest room.

We have great restaurant recommendations, driving adventures, fishing/whale watching, or other recreational activities. We love Puerto Vallarta and we want you to experience what we know as paradise.

Fantastic escape

We loved our six nights here! Rex had a perfect set up for 2 kids, 2 adults with the main bedroom providing veranda views/access, and the 2nd bedroom with two separate beds and its own bathroom. The pool was lovely, warm, quiet, tended daily, and bigger than pictured. The condo building is quiet, friendly, and clearly upscale. The views are truly stunning, and we loved spotting whales daily. We felt very safe in the neighborhood, walked everywhere, and climbed up and down the stairs at least twice daily (kids counted 280 from our unit to the beachfront). We hired Chef Benjamin for my husband’s birthday dinner, and his food and demeanor were totally worth the splurge! Thanks Rex!

Amazing Stay

This place is beautiful. The decor has such a special thought. The host has done an amazing job decorating. The amenities are way too many to list; lots of kitchen essentials, tons of towels, clean and spacious, quiet, outdoor area cleaned daily to include the pool. The pool was never crowded. Just amazing. The walk to the beach was steep with lots of stairs. But if you like to walk like us it's not a problem. Otherwise Taxi and Uber are an option.

SUNSETS & MARGARITAS

We have stayed here before and we are just as satisfied and happy as the first time. The property is excellent - very well appointed, clean, comfort in style, view of ocean and beautiful sunsets from terrace, can walk to town, and quiet (a plus). Kitchen, bedrooms and living space lovely - just as described. Stay in or eat out. We were at poolside every day - residents/guests very nice. Our host is amazing and property manager very available. I highly recommend this property!!

Perfection

This is a beautiful, spotless and spacious condo in a perfect location. An easy 5 -10 minute walk to the bars, restaurants and beach and a good workout if you choose to walk back (last 1/4 mile or so is a hill with a steeper finish or a long flight of stairs.) Uber is an option. (Quick and approx. $5 USD from the beach.) The condo is immaculate, tastefully furnished and has absolutely anything you would need. The pool is beautiful, clean and larger than what it looked like in the photos IMHO. The terrace is huge and is a great place to have coffee before it gets too hot or look at the stars. An OXXO (like a 7-11) is a short walk away for the 3 B's (bread, beer & bottled water.) I could go on but I selfishly want it to be available when we try to book our return! We'll be back. Thank you.

A Fantastic 25th Wedding Anniversary!!

First I want to start by saying the pictures shown can only give you a fraction of the experience you get from actually being there. Simply Fantastic view. Shout out to the property owner Rex who was hands on in preparing us with emails and constant updates with details and management team communication. For a transportation fee, we were greeted at the airport and taken directly to the condo. As an additional option we utilized management services for maid, and rental car delivery. They also administered the activities and tours. The condo Mexican theme of the condo is Fabulous. Get your cameras ready! We had the time of our lives celebrating our 25Th Wedding Anniversary. So glad I ran into this opportunity. Thanks again Rex. You are the best. 👍

Glorious view, charming condo

Views are just as shown in the photos. Charmingly decorated, well-appointed with comfy beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great pool and lovely big private balcony. A short walk down lots of steps into town. We did taxi or Uber back up the hill every time but rides were easy to find. Property manager was great to work with.

Wonderful Experience : comfortable + vacation vibes

The place is everything the listing and reviews state. We had no trouble with property management. Very nice and on time. The view from the balcony is spectacular. Very nice cultural decor with modern touches. Clean, quiet and comfortable. You might just be reminded of the fact it's on a hill so it's a climb, easily avoided by using Uber 😁. Loved the pool and shower as well as the balcony view. Stairs access although steep, are new and safe. We had everything we needed. Well stocked with pool towels, soaps, etc. Thank you! We may be back!

Wonderful Condo

We had such a good time! The condo was great with lots of quirky Mexican decor. Very comfortable bed and couches. The terrace was where we spent a lot of time. The view is great, the pool is great. Walking distance to the Romantic Zone. The condo association put in steps to the road (hwy 200) which made it way easier to get there. We walked into town and back most days which helped to walk off all the tacos we ate. I definately recommend this condo. If you have mobility issues you can take taxis.

Excellent family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Rex's condo. We were feeling just like home. Very well furnished and confortable. Extremely well decorated with mexican art and good taste. Everything you need is in the condo. Very calm and nice surrounding. Heated pool. 262 stairs to go up and down. 10 min straight to the beach. Or take a taxi when you don't want to do cardio (for around 60 pesos). I strongly recommand the appartment. Very good coordination and service with local PVRPV agency to help us and for transportation. Thankyou!

Comfortable and Convenient

Appreciated the prompt communication and flexibility shown by host. Also had reliable communication with Property Management representative. A convenient location - slightly removed from the congestion and crowds but minutes to beach and romantic zone ammenities by foot. Description and layout was accurate. Hike back to apartment by foot takes some effort in the heat but is doable. Would book again on a future visit to PV.

Awesome Stay

Wow! When I first looked at the listing, it looked like the pictures had been enhanced a little. Definitely not the case. This place and view is stunningly beautiful. The view from the enormous deck is totally beautiful. My wife and I both loved the Mexican décor throughout the condo. A lot of thought must have went into that. The hot water for showering was the best. The condo also comes with a very nice washer and dryer, which really came in handy. The pool is a constant comfortable temperature and it is kept clean. I was very impressed with the work the grounds keeper put into it. Location. We walked down into the Romantic Zone a couple times every day. There’s a difference in elevation of 220 feet to the beach about 3 city blocks away. If you do walk, there is a pedestrian crossing right down in front of the condo to get across the busy street. We only walked back to the condo a few times. Taxi is only $3.50 or 70 pesos to get back. This rise in elevation is well worth it every time we were on the deck with that picturesque view. Another plus with the location is how quiet it is. We’ve been to Mexico probably 20 times and this was definitely in the top three stays.

Wonderful Condo in the Romantic Zone

We really enjoyed our stay in this amazing condo. The view is wonderful and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lots of hot water and good water pressure. All of our communications with the owner and the property manager ( PVRPV ) were fantastic. They let us check in early and even let us check out a couple of hours late, we really appreciated this. We met a wonderful group of people who were in other units at the pool and made some great new friends. The walk down to the beach or to the restaurants/bars was quite easy but it could be a bit of a challenge to get back up to the condo. For the first 2 days we took a taxi back up for about $5 CDN but after that we would walk. A few days in the romantic zone hills and your endurance builds. We hope to be back soon.

Incredible!

We cannot say enough good things about this property. It is exactly as it looks in the photographs, the pool area is inviting, the beds are extremely comfortable, the air conditioning works beautifully, and there’s more than enough space for a small group. As other of you stated, the hill can be a little much when you come back, but it is doable. A taxi didn’t cost very much for old town, maybe between three and five US dollars. It is such an incredible location, and the view is everything we would stay here again over and over. highly recommend this property.

Perfect

Stayed a week at this wonderful condo. Place was spotless when we arrived, beds were comfortable, and huge balcony and sunsets were incredible. Was just far enough away from the bustling old town to sleep with windows open and very peaceful. Pool is great and everyone we met was very nice. It is indeed a steep climb to it, but an uber is cheap (3.50cdn) from the pier, and never waited more than 5 minutes for one to pick us up. Would definitely go back again!

Awesome condo

Rex's condo is perfect. Small, quiet property without the busyness of a big complex. We had to pool to ourselves everyday (we were there in Sept). Yes it's a walk down to the restaurants and bars and beach, but you gotta burn off the calories anyway. The hike back up is no joke but it's cool using those stairs. Condo has everything you need and master bed is very comfortable. We didn't use the guest room. The kitchen is loaded and we hired a private chef one night (highly recommend this). The views are amazing. Sunsets that will blow you away. And the tstorms at night. I like going during the off season bec I like the daily rain. It never lasts all day and most of the time it's at night or the evening. We had a great time and we will be back this Sept or next.

Check in rough

After an expensive ride from the airport, it was wonderful. Rex was very accommodating when we called him about lack of toilet paper, etc. I finally found the stash of tp on the second day and everything was great after that. The only thing was the maid service. Why was it there the day before we left? What about after? All in all, it was very nice.

Wonderful home away from home

This little sixteen unit condo building was so unique and quaint! The condo we were in was a perfect size for my husband and son and I. It had everything you would need to cook or if you prefer to eat out simple stairs down to wherever you want to go! If you have enough energy to hike them back up then it’s a great workout but if not plenty of taxis or Uber! We met a lot of lovely people that own there and renters! I even met a cousin so random…….. contrary to the last reviewer I disagree with her write up on Rex’s condo everyone responded fast if we had a question. The fellow that came to water the plants was very polite and the maid Louisa was also very friendly and polite and wow did she ever leave the place spotless I thought we were doing well keeping it tidy lol! By the way outside the condo unit door is a doorbell and they do ring that if you don’t answer they will come in but you are told when to expect them. There is plenty of light in both bathrooms for makeup so not sure about that comment! Anyway I wanted to make sure people understand that Estrella del mar is a beautiful place to stay super comfy lots of spices in pantry, lots of pool towels I could go on. You wont be disappointed if you book here 😊 thank you Rex and the team!

As pictured, Amazing view, but Poor communication from PVRPV.

1 of 2 TV can stream. On a hill, be prepared (walking/stairs). Poor lighting in both bathrooms-makeup difficult, etc. Missing items: hammock and toilet plunger. No cell service in back half of condo. Wifi works throughout. Some minor construction noise on/off. Tap water is safe to drink. Plenty of ice trays. Bad Poor communication was a pattern with property management. Started with incorrect address (unit #, not street # provided) so taxi couldn't find it (Make sure you have PVRPV #). No one was there on arrival, no reply to text, but Tania arrived after short wait. She was professional and brought some of our groceries (partially filled list, cost 3x normal, + shopping service fee $25 US; do not recommend). We cancelled maid during stay, but was never told a man was coming! 2nd issue: Day 2: Man on balcony, watering plants. He did knock, but we didn't hear, then he was just inside. He was nice, but this is unacceptable for two women traveling alone. We cancelled his 2nd visit during our stay. 3rd issue: Lack of updates related to power/water outage. Day 4: 5 hrs (seemed normal, truck hit a transformer). Day 5: scheduled 2.5 hrs, but out for 6 hrs (replacing pole). We weren't informed before the scheduled outage and no updates during. This didn't seem normal. 4th issue: Day 6: Broken microwave, was told inspector would come same day. No updates received, even after texting 2 different staff that he didn't show. Day 7 emailed PVRPV, no reply. Inspector arrived, can't fix/unsure on replacement. After no reply from 3 texts to 2 staff and email to 3 staff. We were done, didn't attempt to contact them anymore on anything. We wish, they would've just said, "Sorry, microwave will not be replaced before you depart." Anything is better than silence. Owner-Rex did respond, but stated nothing he can do it. Locomotion About 8 stairs going down for elevator to unit. Over 70 stairs to the main road, by the pool. Or steep hill. Easy=down, challenge=up. Taxis are everywhere, 50-70 pesos each way. Working phone in unit, can call taxi. Sidewalk, 10-15m walk to romantic zone. There are stairs leading down to the romantic zone/beach (Tania pointed it out + Google maps walking directions use it), across the main road, but we don't recommend. They aren't well maintained (uneven, no rails, etc). TL;DR We had a bad experience w PVRPV (property mgmt) and will avoid them in future. So we can't recommend this listing. However, we hope you have a better stay. :)

September stay at Estrellita del Mar

The property is lovely - authentic Mexican decor made it extra special. We stayed off season so it was peaceful and quiet. The pool for the building felt like our very own - perfect for an afternoon swim. It is a steep climb back with multiple steps if you decide to walk back from town - alternatively you can always get a taxi. It's inexpensive and very convenient. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of not being in the middle of the Romantic Zone but it was close enough to walk into town every day. We only used the Master bedroom which was comfortable and had a fantastic view. We didn't cook because we had only a 5 day stay but the kitchen had all the amenities that you would need if you wanted to have a meal or two at the apartment. The unit had a washer and dryer too! I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing view and condo

This condo was truly amazing. The view out on the patio was to die for. We spent many a night sipping cocktails watching the sun go down there. It was within walking distance to everything…shops, restaurants and the malecon. You couldn’t ask for a better location! I didn’t mind taking the stairs and walking to any location but took a taxi back after a few Tequilas. (80 pesos). Well worth it to me! The condo was well appointed and loved how there was necessities there from previous guests like coffee filters, individual snacks etc. was so nice not to have to run to the market as soon as we arrived! In fact I left 2 bottles of unopened champagne and unopened OJ for the next guests…enjoy! We definitely will be back! Thanks Rex for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

Beautiful Terrace and View!

We were charmed from the first steps into the condo by the delightful collection of Mexican art and textiles. And it just got better from there. The location worked really well for us since it's close to many of our favorite places to eat and shop. But what we absolutely loved was the VIEW! Stunning, beautiful, breathtaking... It's hard to find just the right words to express how much we enjoyed sitting on the terrace and watching the sunset. Dinners and happy hour on the terrace. Sitting on the terrace watching whales (of which we saw many). Simply relaxing on a lounger on the terrace gazing out over the bay. The pool area also has a wonderful view and all of the grounds are beautifully landscaped. Everyone in our group enjoys walking so the uphill walk was not an issue. The stairs from the pool area down to the main road make all the difference. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive so getting back when carrying groceries or at night was never a problem. Uber works well in PV, if you prefer. Thank you, Rex, for sharing your wonderful home in PV. We'll definitely be back for the relaxation, amazing view, and convenient access to town.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I love Mexico and especially Puerto Vallarta. We both enjoy the fine dinning and the charm of old Vallarta. We chose Estrella del Mar because of the large patio and view of the bay. We searched all over PV for a vacation home and once we saw the building and condo we fell in love. You couldn't ask for a better location. We like the tranquil, small building atmosphere and close walk to the beach and old town.

What makes this property unique

Before we even unpack, we take a short walk to Los Muertos Beach and have a couple of Margaritas at La Palapa. This wonderful restaurant is right on the beach and a wonderful spot to see the first sunset of our vacation. I've made a good friend with a local fishing boat captain and I always make sure I go fishing or whale watching when I visit.
