About this property

Bella Loma 403. Ocean View, well appointed condo. 5 Mins to beach, no stairs.

Casa Carlota is located at the dead end of Pilitas Street only 2.5 blocks to the beach with no stairs. The default map view is misleading, it appears the condo is floating in the middle of nowhere. Zoom in for a better understanding of exact location and proximity to the beach.

Built in 2015 and finalized in 2016, well appointed, open air concept, 1 bedroom, 1 bath penthouse condo in the heart of Puerto Vallarta's most sought after neighborhood; Zona Romantica, a gay and family friendly, English speaking area.

Three minutes to Puerto Vallarta's most popular beach; Los Muertos, with no stairs to climb or descend en route. Food and drink service provided under umbrellas on beach. Only two to five minutes to the restaurants, amenities and nightlife of Olas Atlas and Basilio Badillo, yet tucked away at the end of Pilitas; a dead-end, mostly residential, cobble-stoned street.

Minutes to boutique and artisan shopping. Mini-marts, ATMs, convenience stores within a three-minute walk. Ten to fifteen minute taxi ride to marina, commercial centers, golf and eco tourism activities.

Granite countertops, bar and backsplash, stainless steel appliances and tropical parota wood furnishings and built-ins. Local commissioned artwork tastefully adorns the walls. Full-wall glass sliding doors provide an open-air concept inside while plant-lined balcony equipped table for four allows dinning al fresco.

In unit conveniences include a work station, wifi, flat screen TVs in living room and bedroom, Firestick on both TVs, Streaming TV service in living room, high efficiency wall-mounted AC, Bluetooth speaker, document safe in bedroom closet, blender, toaster, coffee maker, dining, flatware and glassware for four, ample storage, vanity in bathroom, hooks for your clothes and towels, in unit washer and dryer. Full sized sofa bed in living room comfortable for one adult or two children. Maid service every other day Monday thru Saturday. Bottled drinking water provided.

Four floors from a quiet cobblestone street with great ocean views, only one floor down from pool deck with pool and more stunning views of mountains and Banderas Bay.

Casa Carlota is our second unit within the building. If it is booked during your desired dates, please consider staying with us in Casa Tesoro Escondido. https://www.vrbo.com/759192?unitId=1307130

A Wonderful Stay in Puerto Vallarta

We recently stayed at this apartment in Puerto Vallarta, and it exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. Highlights of the Stay: 1. The apartment is in a fantastic spot—close to attractions, beach, restaurants, right in the heart of Zona Romantica,making it convenient to explore the area. 2. The space was spotless when we arrived. The furniture was comfortable, and the décor gave a warm, inviting vibe. 3. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed, including a fully-stocked kitchen, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, pool, laundry. 4. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially during sunsets over the ocean. It was one of our favorite parts of the stay. 5. The host was very responsive and helpful, ensuring our stay was comfortable. Overall, this apartment was the perfect home

This wonderful cozy condo is the perfect place to escape to and enjoy the best part of Puerto Vallarta! Just a few steps to the best restaurants in PV and the best beach as well! It has amazing views of the ocean and the mountains!! The owners are most helpful and the property is very reasonably priced! We definitely plan to return to this gem near the jungle!

Great vacation property

When there was any issue, John was very accessible and communicative. This unit had a view of the water from the balcony and is located at the end of a street. The elevator had issues multiple times, but if you travel to PV you must be ready for stairs, hills, and climbs. I would stay here again on my next trip 👍

Your own hideaway in paradise

Located at the end of what we call a cul-de-sac, you can revel in the silence of no car traffic. This condo is located walking distance to some of the best restaurants and bars PV has to offer. My stay was quite enjoyable as the condo contains all you could want on vacation. I loved having my morning coffee on the patio and taking in the ocean view.

Hidden gem in the Romantic Zone

This is a great condo located on a quiet street in the heart of the Romantic Zone. Within a block, there are many restaurants, bars and shops, and the beach is two blocks away. The unit itself is small, but has everything needed for a single person or couple. It is clean, modern and well-maintained.

Great Location and View

We loved our stay here. John couldn't have been more helpful and quick to respond to all emails. There is a wonderful spacious terrace to sip margaritas on while enjoying the marvelous view. It was a terrific location in walking distance of restaurants, the Saturday market, and lovely stores. Definitely try Jorge's Hideaway, practically next door, and Coco's Kitchen for breakfast. I highly recommend this rental.

Nice get-away

The unit was very small, but just right for two people. Great location close to beach, restaurants, walking around. Rooftop pool was a real plus. We had problems with the check in, which was totally our fault. John and Charlotte got right back to us with instructions. We'd love to make a return visit!

This is an exceptional value, a quiet space and very well planned space.

You might worry that this is off the beaten path or too close to the highway, but the truth is that it is just around the corner and out of the noise (the buildings and mountain block all highway noise) of everything you want to access. Several items stand out at this property. The hosts communication and knowledge of the areas is exceptional, the building is meticulously cleaned and secure. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by John Guptill

Host profile image
My wife, Charlotte, and I are from Portland, Maine. I first discovered Puerto Vallarta by accident at age 18 while on vacation in Mexico City when we decided to take an overnight bus trip adventure to the coast. Upon landing in Puerto Vallarta I instantly fell in love with it. Later I was fortunate enough to be able to return with my wife. We booked a condo in Zona Romantica, very near to Casa Carlota , and never looked back. Year after year we returned, addicted to the beauty and amenities of PV. Finally in 2013 we decided to buy our first Mexican Condo. We eventually discovered a great pre-construction opportunity at Bella Loma, we finalized our first condo, Casa Tesoro Escondido in 2015. In 2016 we came across an great opportunity to purchase Casa Carlota right next door and with one year of rentals under our belt, we went for it again! We oversaw construction of Casa Carlota and meticulously applied years of personal experience renting in the area, our experience with our first PV condo and previous professional experience in rentals, construction and real estate in Maine to create a wonderful home and superior rental experience. We currently visit our homes in paradise two to three times a year. We hope you will enjoy Casa Carlota as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Casa Carlota is centrally located to the beach, restaurants, and nightlife that Puerto Vallarta is famous for, yet all the while tucked away at the terminus of a very quiet and peaceful dead end, residential street. As we purchased pre-constructions we were able to design the finishes and furnishings to the highest quality.

What makes this property unique

Bella Loma is a smaller condo association with only 17 units. This allows for the amenities of a condo, with a bit more privacy. Typically there will only be one or two other guests on the pool deck. It has a friendly and family run feel. Built in 2015 it has modern amenities and feel but at a much greater value than other new condo developments in the area. The location is optimal, tucked away at the terminus of a dead end only 2.5 blocks to one of Vallarta's most popular beaches, Los Muertos, only one block to Olas Altas shopping and European styled cafes and bars and only minutes to restaurant row on Baslio Badillo and the boardwalk and Downtown.
