****THIS IS A VERY TRANQUIL & PEACEFUL CONDO****

Built in 2001, Condo Velmar 4 brings together the best of 'la playa vida' in Bucerias, Mexico, at a fraction of beachfront rentals.

The centerpiece is an amazingly serene veranda that overlooks the mystical Zen paradise that is the Zona Dorada and Bahía de Banderas -- it will become your favorite spot for morning coffee, or to watch day turn into night while sea breeze shifts to mountain breeze.

Just three short streets up the hill from the ocean, Condo Velmar is also located close to cuisines of all types, from Mexican cocina casera and street food, to four star trattorias, top notch sushi, pizza and seafood. Bucerias is a destination for foodies.

Velmar itself, designed with a blend of Mexican and Mediterranean styles by the renowned architect Carlos Gonzalez, features large, airy rooms, one of which opens to the veranda; two impeccably clean, roomy, modern bathrooms; brand new A/C units; full-size fridge & distilled water; as well as a robust high-speed wireless Internet, cable TV, and land-line phone. There are only five other units in this quiet building that emphasizes quietude, privacy and gated security; if you are looking for a party shack, this is definitely NOT the place! Smoking tobacco products anywhere on the grounds, inside or out, is strictly prohibited - and pets are disallowed, lo siento.

The bedding and bath towels are all in soft white cotton, and over-sized towels are provided for the condos' private pool area. Maid service happens twice a week, though you may contract for more days. Property manager Felipe is available by phone or WhatsApp, and is on-site often enough to fully see to your comfort and convenience. Taxis can be hailed for longer jaunts into Puerto Vallarta to get your turista on, to the local Mega or Chedraui for groceries, or up north to other attractions along the coast. Need a Walmart or a Sam's Club, fer pete's sake? Got 'em both, fifteen minutes away -- unless you want to find all your needs by walking to one of several local tiendas. Kids want to swim with the dolphins? Got that, too, just up the road. Bird watching at the estuaries near Lo de Marcos, cycling to Paradise Village, or surfing at Sayulita? By all means. Picture perfect sunset dinners on the beach? A stroll away. The Bahia de Banderas shoreline is unquestionably some of the finest five miles of beach in the world. Bucerias is something of a boom town, but its beach remains to this day peaceful, uncrowded and restful.

You simply will not find a more relaxed, romantic and revitalizing way to spend an affordable week or two -- dozing, reading, pooling, dining, beaching, biking, boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, horseback riding or collecting shells -- it's all here at Condo Velmar 4.

Owner's personal dining recommendations:
*Virtually anywhere "street food" is sold
*Toscana Mia - Italian; there is nothing better in Bucerias
*Matsuri - world class sushi, impossibly cold beer
*Yo Yo Mo's - their pizza is truly perfect
*Mezzo di Giorno - carbonara by sunset
*Red Apple Place - Ricardo does Mexican, with artistry
*Mexicanas Delicias - superb food, good prices
*La Postal - open all the time, great Italian
*La Quinta di Francesco - fine Italian
Javi's Place - good prices, good service, good food
