This home is in a perfect location and has all anyone needs to enjoy this great town.

My wife and I loved the home and the area. Everything is in walking distance. We are actively looking at property and planning to build a home in Barra de Navidad. It was great to meet Carla and Estaban, who were kind enough to spend time discussing this process and giving us suggestions. Thank you Carla and Estaban.

AMAZING!

We had an amazing time in Barra staying at this lovely house. The house is spotless with a wonderful pool and very close to town. Within 5 minute walk. So no car needed. It’s very safe and secure. The owners Esteban and Carla are so great! Extremely helpful, especially when finding us information on getting our covid tests before we left. They went above and beyond for the 4 of us and we felt so welcomed. We are so thankful for everything they did for us and are planning on going again next year. You will not be disappointed with the home owners and this amazing house. Gaby the house cleaner comes twice a week and is lovely. Thank you is not enough for all the help we received. Consider yourself lucky if you can stay here. The Kings

Wonderful!

We tested out a working trip to visit family, and it was fantastic. The house is beautiful and in wonderful condition, and the location was perfect for walking to family's and into town. The pool and patio area were great to relax at, eat at, and work at; the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat in; and the internet was fast enough for us to work remote. We'll be back!

Agradables vacaciones en Barra de Navidad

Esteban estuvo siempre muy atento para contestar todas mis preguntas y darme buenos consejos sobre los lugares a visitar. La propiedad es muy agradable, pasamos excelentes vacaciones. El único inconveniente es el tipo de cama (una cama individual encima de la cama matrimonial) que puede prestarse a ciertos accidentes. Un gran agradecimiento igualmente para Gaby quien estuvo presente para recibirnos, para mantener limpia la casa y para despedirnos. Cordialmente, Luis Castillo

More than we hoped for

This was our first trip to Barra and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The town is great and we walked everywhere even to cuastacomettes....the house is fantastic and we spent every afternoon in the back yard and enjoyed the fantastic pool.... the set up is great and the house has everything you could need and is a short walk to everything.... the nightly sunsets at the Malecon were amazing and everyone is so friendly. Carla and Esteban are amazing hosts and quick to respond and answer any questions you may have... Gaby who cleaned twice a week is very friendly and had a huge smile always.... we will be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great rental..... thanks so much Carla and Esteban and see you next winter

Wonderful home and hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Barra. Esteban and Carla were extremely attentive. Everything you will need is in the home. We always felt safe and enjoyed the private yard and pool. Our kids spent hours in the pool after each beach day. Wifi was great, with strong Netflix streaming. Exploring Barra's shops and restaurants was easy by foot. I'd recommend renting a car if you want to visit the other beaches north of here. The further north we went, the emptier the beaches. Upon arrival we drove south from the airport into Manzanillo and loaded up on groceries at Walmart. Our family will definitely be returning. Thank you Carla, Esteban, and Gabby!

Wonderful stay in Barra de Navidad

We had a wonderful few weeks at Carla and Esteban's home in Barra. The house was beautiful and comfortable with an incredible outdoor space where we spent most of our time. We appreciated how quick and responsive Carla was to our questions both before and during our trip. Gabby was also great. We hope to come back to this home in Barra very soon.

Excellent place to stay in Barra

This home is clean, comfortable, and close to town. It's a short, safe walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. I walked home by myself several times late at night and felt very safe. The pool is nice for the hot afternoons. Lots of room for a family vacation. The kitchen is well supplied to make meals although eating out is very affordable. If I come back to Barra, I will stay in this house again. Susie from Oregon

Loved our stay

We loved this home we stayed in Barra. It was clean, up to date and well cared for. The outdoor space was where we lived. The pool was a comfortable temperature and the seating area a plus. We were central to everything and didn't mind the 8 minute walks to town. Loved the little restaurants and the music everywhere. Our hosts were always an email away. If we come back to Barra, we would stay here in a heartbeat!

bountiful beauty and grace!

Our family of five traveled to Mexico for the first time and found a true paradise in the town of Barra De Navidad and the home of Carla and Esteban. We started searching almost a year in advance of our travel - hoping for an authentic, peaceful, fun vacation where we could practice our Spanish, immerse ourselves in a new culture, and experience family fun....and we found more than we dreamed of! Carla was kind and supportive in all of our correspondence, and became a friend over the months we emailed. By the time we arrived in Mexico I had complete faith in this family who takes pride in their home, their town, and their hospitality. The home was beautiful, clean, welcoming, and very secure. Groceries were gathered for us so we could arrive on Christmas night with no worries. We met fabulous people all week who were helpful and great fun. We shopped local markets, got haircuts (REALLY!), took a water taxi to a village across the bay, a bus to Melaque, a taxi to La Manzanilla - all within 30 minutes of Barra. The house is located in the best part of the town - everything is within easy walking distance - and the hotel Cabo Blanco is literally a minute away and a great resource. We had a wonderful experience - much of it because we had such a lovely home and great hosts in Carla and Esteban.

Absolutely wonderful vacation rental in Barra de Navidad!

We would love to return to this wonderful house in Barra! Very, very roomy for the three adults who vacationed there for one week, with comfortable, clean bedding and comfy mattresses. No concrete beds here! Excellent communication with the owners - they really go out of their way to make your arrival and your stay very pleasant - from cold cervezas waiting for us to special tissue purchased for our stay. Very thoughtful and aiming to please! Well organized check in and check out ( it was a delight to meet Esteban's lovely parents upon check out!) and to have a phone conversation with the owners to ensure everything was to our satisfaction prior to leaving. Absolutely gorgeous pool and entertaining area, AND the pool was sooo warm at 29-30 degrees! Very well maintained property; would love to return one day! Thank you Carla and Esteban!

Fantastic Time!

We stayed at this property for two weeks in early April. There is not much else to say except that we had an amazing time! We knew that Carla and Esteban were going to be wonderful hosts from their first email exchange. Carla replied promptly to our initial enquiry and provided us with detailed answers to all of our questions. They drove for hours from their home to welcome us to the Barra house and checked in with us throughout our stay. The house is beautiful and very well stocked. We were able to make all meals in the well equipt kitchen and spend hours relaxing in the outdoor lounge area and pool. Additionally, the house is a perfect distance from the town and beach. Far away enough that it was quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk back and forth a few times a day. If you are looking for fantastic food, Barra has a wide variety! Without a doubt, our fav place was Senior Froys. We dined there quite a few times, both for lunch and dinner. All of our dining experiences were wonderful and we had a great time getting to know Froy and his family/ staff. We rented a car and used it to explore the surrounding area. We found great little beaches, quaint towns and some fantastic restaurants! We can't wait to go back to Barra (I'm surprised we left in the first place). When we return, we will definitely stay at this property again, without a doubt. Thank you again Carla, Esteban and family!

Can't beat the pool and outdoor space!

We enjoyed 2 weeks in this great home. The house, yard and pool are very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our favourite space was outside around the pool and patio. Lots of sun and shade with comfortable seating, whatever we were in the mood for. We made use of the bar and outside fridge for our daily happy hours. The house is perfect for a family or 2 couples. Full size appliances and a well stocked kitchen made cooking easy but we took advantage of the many great restaurants in Barra and Melaque most days. The neighbourhood is very quiet, day and night. The house is well located, very close to the Cabo Blanco hotel where we enjoyed several afternoons and evenings of live music. The Pickleball Club uses the courts here during the 'snowbird' season, everyone is welcome. Make sure to buy some great baking from the French Bakery boat every morning in the the canal area. The house is an easy 10 minute walk to downtown for the beach, restaurants and shops. Melaque is a 10 minute drive or bus ride for more shops and restaurants and of course the Festival of Saint Patrick. We found the Super Hawaii grocery store stocking Costco brands of cheese and other food items not easily found in the neighbourhood grocery stores. This area of Mexico is great for those who are not looking for tours and swimming with the dolphins, preferring great weather and slower pace. Not a time-share salesman in sight!!

About the host

Hosted by Carla & Esteban Pelayo

Host profile image
We are a Mexican Family living in Guadalajara (Capital City of Jalisco State), and we really love Barra de Navidad, that's why we always dreamed with having a house there. We spend about a weekend every month in this house, our 2 children enjoy every minute in the beach, and we love to relax in the afternoons in the swimming pool.
My husband and I built the house thinking in every space on it, and we are really happy with the home we could built.

Why they chose this property

We started to build the house in 2012, and finished building it on 2013. It was built to enjoy the peaceful town of Barra de Navidad, we care for every detail in the house, since we like to stay there every time we can. It is a very modern house and really comfortable place to stay, close to everything and without any noise.
Also the pool is clean once or twice a week by a very professional person from Manzanillo, who cares for every detail.

What makes this property unique

The house is close to everything you might need in Barra, just a few steps from Hotel Cabo Blanco, the main navigation channel where is really easy to take a water taxi. It is situated in a peaceful neighborhood. Restaurants, bars, shopping, and the main beaches are 5 minute walking.
The private pool is a fabulous thing to enjoy and use.
