How lucky we were to find this gem in the jungle, our own luxury villa for the week! The house is lovely, expansive, and perched overlooking the beautiful playa and bay. Views from the palatial master suite, living room, kitchen and pool deck are spectacular, with balconies on all levels. The chef’s kitchen was terrific, and decently appointed with what we needed to cook some great meals. The huge bathroom on the top floor has amazing views from the shower and spa tub, (we didn’t use the tub, guessing that there wouldn’t have been enough hot water to fill the thing).
We watched incredible sunsets from the balcony, macaws in trees outside the kitchen window, and the 1987 cinematic masterpiece ‘Predator’ on the smart tv in the living room.
The house is located up a very steep hill. Great for the views, but a bit of a pain when you wanted to go anywhere. We walked up and down several times, and while it was a fun adventure for us, it may not have been so fun in summer heat, or for the less able bodied/kids. Cabs and Ubers we used were happy to drive us right up to and from the front door though.
The house’s caretaker Juan was incredible! So helpful with info, CLEANING!, an amazing chef, stopping in PV to pick up a few groceries we forgot!
(cons: Torn screens and gaps in the doors make it hard to keep bugs out. Only gnats for us, but if mosquitoes came out in warm weather, it could be a pain.
No grocery store in town, 30-60 minutes into PV)

Wonderful stay. The cook (Juan) was a great add on; don’t pass up the opportunity to have him work for you. He is is worth every penny - if you enjoy Mexican food. The house needs a new dishwasher - the current one is inoperable. Otherwise it’s is as advertised.

Our family of 6 (parents and children ages 11-19) had a lovely 11 day stay at Casa Mis Amores! It was a perfect location for us: close to Puerto Vallarta but far enough away in next door Mismaloya to allow for a peaceful and relaxing stay away from the hubub. The house has wonderful views from virtually every room. Parents enjoyed quiet mornings at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee and watching the whales in the bay. We were lucky to be at the house during prime whale season in early January. The kids enjoyed ample space to spread out and do their thing. Juan, the day to day caretaker, was wonderful! He prepared eggs and fruit for us every morning, if we wanted. On long tour days, he had dinner waiting for us at the house when we got home. (These services were available to us at a reasonable cost.) The only challenge with this house that we experienced, is the road leading in. There are some repairs going on post hurricane last year, and it is on a steep incline, so takes a little getting used to if you are from a flat geography. No issue for us, just something to be aware of if you plan to do a lot of walking. We did not rent a car and did everything by taxi, which was no problem. If we have the opportunity to come back to Puerto Vallarta, we would definitely stay here again!

We loved this gorgeous home nestled in the jungle. Believe the reviews that say the road is rough. My 70 year old mom could not handle it so we got her a cab for each time she left or returned. Juan made us amazing meals, and we were so grateful for that. My kids loved the pool. The house was comfortable, private, and felt very safe. I'd return any time happily. Thanks so much for having us and giving us the memories of a life time. Can't wait to return. Shelley answered so many questions and spent a lot of time making sure I was comfortable. I can't thank her or Juan enough.

This is a great getaway spot. It has everything you need, spectacular view, privacy, wonderful house. The view is to die for, the master bath is maybe the largest I’ve ever seen, with two bathrooms for the master bedroom. I think one of the bedrooms downstairs could also be used as a master. Shelley and Manuel have done a great job decorating this place. And Shelly was very helpful and responded to any questions quickly. Juan is wonderful to have around. He makes breakfast six days a week, and is available to answer any questions, and he’s very knowledgeable about the area. He will help with any reservations or transportation that you need. He spends another hour a day watering plants etc.., then leaves you to your privacy. You can walk to the beach, with the walk been easier than I expected. The walk back uphill is steep, but I write that off as good exercise. For those with difficulty walking I think a taxi is the answer. This place is clean and comfortable. Thank you Shelley, Manwell, and Juan

Our family of 8 enjoyed our stay in Mismaloya and in this lovely home. The views, the pool and the deco was perfect!! Juan and Josephina were kind, helpful and attentive. Juan helped us set up a day trip with Luis and Manuel. They took us to Los Arcos, Yelapa and Quimixto where Manuel joined us as we hiked to the waterfalls. They also took us snorkeling and fishing! It was a perfect day!!!
We loved walking down the hill to the village of Mismaloya. The little market had everything we needed to cook our meals: fresh veggies, eggs, meat, even handmade tortillas!!! The owners were fantastic at communicating and making sure we had a wonderful time.

We booked this house for a girls trip and it worked perfectly for a group of 7. Mismaloya is just south of Puerto Vallarta and a much quieter town. We loved being able to enjoy sleepy Mismaloya and have easy access to hopping P.V.
The house is laid out on 3 floors - with the master suite upstairs and 3 bedrooms downstairs (on the same floor as the patio and the pool).
We hired Juan to cook a few dinners for us which we really enjoyed, in addition to his fabulous breakfasts. We were glad to have Juan meet us at the airport to give directions to the taxi driver.
The road to the house is steep, but taxis made it up there without a problem. Most taxis in PV don’t know the street and it doesn’t show up on Google maps. If you have people arriving in 2 groups as we did, have the first group snap a photo of the white arches at the turn from the main road (Lomas Del Pacifico?) and send that to them, or drop a pin. Google maps thinks the street is called Richard Burton, not Ava Gardner.
We used the owners contacts to hire a boat to take us to Yelapa, Majuitas and go whale watching, which was fabulous. The boat picks you up right on the beach at Mismaloya.

We very much enjoyed our 4 nights stay there. If you enjoy nature and privacy, this is a great house/villa. It is very roomy with nice sufficient amenities. Master bedroom is entirely isolated on the third floor, very private and large with 2 full bathrooms and nice balcony with fabulous views.
You can see Macaws and Iguanas from balconies/backyard/kitchen breakfast table. There is a nice hiking trail in the jungle just across the street.
Juan is there every morning to take care of your needs, buying you groceries, daily cleaning and helping you with whatever possible.
You can walk down to Mismaloya beach next to Barcelo hotel for about 8 to 10 minutes’ walk, but coming back up is kind of steep uphill. This is the only downside of this property. We did not rent a car, but Uber and taxi service was always available.
We definitely recommend this property and will stay there again.

This property was one of the best places that we have stayed at. Good communication and check in process. The house itself sits on a hill and requires a walk down to the bottom which a couple of us were happy to do during times we opted to not take a cab. We were surrounded by beautiful greenery and foilage and this was very peaceful to us. Mismaloya is a quaint little beach town and across the beach is also a quaint village where we did much of our shopping at the little markets. Everyone took good care of us and we became very familiar with our cab drivers who were very helpful in answering our questions. Juan and his wife came to the house everyday (a couple of days we didn't need) and tended to the house and garden. There was a bit of a communication barrier and we thank them for being very patient with us. Our entire stay and our entire experience was beautiful. It was too short.

The pictures don't do justice to the house, which is more beautiful and spacious than the pictures show, and has the most stunning views of the ocean and surrounding jungle. You will hear the guayamacas each day and see them flying about with their brilliant colors and long tails. There are multiple decks from which to enjoy the incredible views.
One important thing to note: the house is a bit remote and up a very steep hill with a not-so-kept-up road. We went to and from mostly by foot, but it's a VERY steep walk up and down and you probably need to be pretty fit to do it. But our whole crew, ages 12-48, did it every day!
The Zona Romantica in Puerto Vallarta is a short ride away, like 15-20 minutes. We usually took the bus, which is only 10 pesos per person and the bus comes frequently until 10 pm. A few times we took a taxi, which is 200-300 pesos to town. Mismaloya has a restaurant and a convenience store too, on the east side of the highway, then on the west side is the beach that has a bunch of restaurants open during the day.
Juan is the caretaker and is incredibly warm and helpful. He can arrange anything for you. We had him cook breakfast each morning and it was wonderful to wake up to coffee and food. He and his wife clean every day too. It's full service. I spoke Spanish with him so I don't know how his English is, in the case that you don't speak Spanish. Most people in hospitality in PV speak a fair bit of English though, so I assume he does too.
Shelley, the owner, was totally responsive the few times we had questions or needed information from her. I texted through the VRBO app and she always got right back to us.
I would not hesitate to book Casa Mis Amores again. We loved it and I hope to return.

Just incredible! From the communication a week prior to our stay to the day we arrived until the day we left and still afterwards. Our stay was a 10 out of 10. The home itself was more than spacious for our party of 9. Each room was very accommodating and the main room is spectacular with views straight out of a movie. Our large party always ate breakfast out of the dining room adjacent to the kitchen because we loved looking and hearing the birds pass by. The outside pool area has one of the most spectacular views. From day 1 I knew we had made the right choice! All of this and I still haven’t mentioned what makes this place even more special. Juan! He’s just incredible. He cannot only cook great meals he’s also a wonderful resource for anything you might want/need to make your stay even that much better. He even went above and beyond to restore power to the place after a lightning storm came through. He stayed in the house until the power came back on and made sure we were okay! So if you want to experience a piece of paradise just minutes away from Vallarta then this is your spot! We’ll be back again for sure!

Jungle Vacation
This property was EXACTLY as listed and presented. It was a little disconcerting at first to have Juan there everyday, but he was just maintaining the property and COULD have made us breakfast if we'd wanted. We DID partake of the dinners that Juan makes and they were outstanding. Especially recommend his pico de gallo - fabulous!
We did go on an excursion one day, we did snorkelling and had a lovely lunch at a beachside restaurant - accessible only by boat.
The jungle has many sounds - some of which sound like laughing/screaming hyenas ... so be aware in advance so you don't have the daylights scared out of you at 6am!
Overall would (and already have) recommend(ed) this villa to anyone who would enjoy a quiet, beautiful stay.

A slice of heaven with the best view in PV
After the past several years of no travel, we were looking for a private residence to enjoy time with our family and friends..and to stay away from the typical tourist congestion. Immediately upon entering the home, we realized that the property/view was perfect for our group, which included a 19th bday celebration. The complete top master floor, rivals anything a resort could offer…The location of the home is tranquil among the lush hillside..and the sighting of the Macaws and Iguanas, seen right off the patios, became an AM expectation. Breeze is perfect to cool off at night..but there is air conditioning(separate units) for those that need this. Shelley and Manuel shared great advice on all kinds of ways to make our stay special and Juan made it happen…from arrival at the airport, to preparing the best Mexican cuisine, to any excursion we wanted to take. The group of 3 whales we have videos/pics of, as we were riding along in the fishing boat had to be a once in a lifetime for us. We hope its not long before we have a return visit to Casa Amore!

Jungle adventure
Most amazing views from nearly every room. Lots of adventure. Second night sirens telling us to have our important papers handy in case we have to evacuate. Nothing happened. Two days later, unreal heavy down pouring. Could not even see the beautiful pool. That was fun. Next night earthquake.out in the ocean. No big deal. I am from San Francisco.. you land a and Juan are very attentive to all our needs. House was always clean. She did our laundry, cooked if we asked. Loved them. Would recommend a stay there.we enjoyed our two weeks.

Perfect Vacation
This was a wonderful place to land. The house was a dream and the children absolutely loved the pool and the patio area. the layout was great for a couple with children as the master suit is all the way on the top floor and well away from the rest of the activities of the villa. It also has two bathrooms which I must admit I loved. It's my new dream!!!
It was the perfect distance from the hustle and bustle of PV.
Juan and Yolanda were just lovely and very flexible with our teenage timeframe with breakfast at 10:00.
Really not a thing was missing. We loved every minute and can't wait to return,
Thank you Shelley and Manuel

Paradise
We took a trip into paradise after a year of no travel due to Covid. Casa Mis Amores was the safe destination we needed to enjoy a long anticipated friends and family get-away.
The villa sleeps very comfortably 7 people and can easily accommodate 10 guests. From almost every window one can enjoy stunning views over the bay. In the mornings one is greeted with the singing of birds and the rustle of the jungle. In the evenings we cooled off in the pool and enjoyed the looking at the rising moon. The place is immaculately clean and very well maintained.
The best are the caretakers, Juan and his sister Yolanda who read every wish before we mentioned them. They both cooked extremely well and fed us genuine Mexican meals for breakfast and sometimes for dinner. In addition, Juan acted as personal concierge, setting up all kinds of excursions and as tour guide as well; he took us on a stunning hike into the mountains overlooking hidden waterfalls.
Shelley and Manuel supported us with lots of advice as we had lots of questions and wanted to know which restaurants to go to and more.
We couldn't have asked for a better destination and vacation!.

Wonderful views but problematic access
The house was exactly as shown in the photos. The jungle setting , Iguanas, birds and views over the ocean were beautiful and restful.
The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms and linens clean and plentiful.
Juan and his sister Yolanda were attentive, friendly and effective in their support and maintenance of the property and ensuring our comfort and enjoyment of it.
The access road and it’s sad state of repair was problematic
The turnoff from the main highway and the once upon a time “grand entrance gate” are in such an advanced state of neglect and garbage strewn decay that even local taxi and Uber drivers were hesitant to drive through it.
At some time, someone spent a lot of money building that road perhaps in anticipation of a major upscale development that never materialized.
Unfortunately with neglect, potholes and two major washouts the situation is not good. Clearly, this is not something that Shelly and Manuel can control, however much they would like to.
Over all, however, we enjoyed our stay at Casa Mis Amores very much. The beach restaurants in Mismaloya were good and fun for lunch and Tony’s Hideaway in the Pueblo was a delightful find with excellent food well prepared in a rather unique setting for dinner.
In spite of a few problems with the access road, Uber service to and from Puerto Vallarta, The Malecon and The Old Town was very good (and cheap). We found a series of what we considered excellent restaurants, particularly along the southern portion of The Malecon

Beautiful Views
The property was absolutely breathtaking. The kitchen had everything you needed and the rooms/bathrooms very clean. This home is very well maintained and BONUS was to hangout outside in the heated pool and mingle and use the outdoor grill. Have lunch on the patio area and take in the beautiful weather and views. Juan was a tremendous help when locating activities and places to go visit/shop. Shelly and Manuel were also very welcoming and making contact to make sure our stay was going well and if we needed anything. Definitely will return again! Great hospitality.

Amazing views and beautiful energy
The stay at Casa Mis Amores was something out of a fairy tale. The house is gorgeous (pictures do not do it justice) and the attention to make your stay feel as if you are not a guest but a welcomed family member is outstanding. Juan and Yolanda came every morning to make a wonderful breakfast and ensure you had what you needed each day. Juan spoke enough English to communicate but he enjoyed when we spoke Spanish to him! Lots of fun
The grandpa iguana wayyyyy in the trees of the jungle was wonderful each day to see. As were hearing the macaws as they flew by... there was even a rooster each morning that greeted you with his high pitched call (if your a late sleeper you get used to it) I loved it!
We did walk down the hill from the house 3 times - not bad. Walking back up can be a challenge - but there are taxis at the bottom of the hill that will bring you up for 70 pesos... Mismaloya beach is fun if you want authentic and lively. Also try to do the horse backriding at Manolo Ranch. Very interesting and so peaceful!
Shelley was a wonderful host - she checked on us a few times and helped just make the trip that much better. We did have very minor issues while there - pool was not heated due to some issues with the gas distribution (outside of Shelley's control) and yet she made sure to do what she could to make us happy. So very thoughtful!
We will miss Casa Mis Amores - But we will for sure be back!

This place was everything we wanted it to be!
We came to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate my 60th birthday. I wanted a place in the mountains and jungle with a great view of the bay.
PERFECT AMAZING HOUSE! The house itself is huge with stunning views everywhere you look. Almost all of the windows open so you can have mountain/ocean air coming in all the time. We did not use the A/C once. The Mexican décor is adorable and not overdone. Beds are comfortable and bedrooms are well appointed. Kitchen is large with all the cooking equipment you need. Two of the bathrooms have breathtaking views of the bay. Open the window and you are bathing al fresco!
Juan met us at the airport and Yolanda had fresh guacamole, pico and margaritas for us when we arrived. Nice touch! Two days we paid a little extra to have eggs and bacon with our breakfast, but even the complimentary breakfast of juice, fruit and toast was enough to get us going for the day. Juan and Yolanda will do anything for you, you just have to ask! (a little Spanish helps, but is not necessary) They were so helpful, we never needed to contact Shelley at all, although she did check in on us mid-week.
The jungle is quite charming. Wild roosters crowing, iguanas sunbathing in the trees, and beautiful Macaws flying back and forth. You can hear lions in the nearby zoo sometimes, as well. (go to the zoo!!)
The walk down the hill to Hotel Barceló and Mismaloya Beach is very do-able. We did it three times with no problem. However! The walk back up can be brutal for those of us who are not used to such a hike because it is steeply uphill. We did it twice just to prove to ourselves that we could, but oh my! Get a taxi if you don't have the stamina to walk. They are plentiful and cheap.
Know that a cab ride to Puerto Vallarta will take about 20 minutes. To the marina will take 30 to 40 depending on traffic. We knew that going in, not a problem for us. There is an OXXO very close to the house. Our taxi stopped there for us a couple of times so we could grab some items. Super convenient. Takes credit cards.
The pool and patio area also has an outdoor kitchen that we never took advantage of, but wish that we would have. We relaxed often outside with our coffee in the morning and cervezas in the afternoon. Very peaceful and simply beautiful.
I highly recommend this place and hope that we can return soon. It was a vacation none of us will ever forget. Many thanks to Juan, Yolanda and Shelley!!

Wonderful family vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation here. Juan and Paola were gracious and the house more than met our needs. We were four couples and the three-level space worked well for each to have their own room but for all to also have places to hang out together. We enjoyed the beautiful home, continental breakfast, and the heated pool and spent many hours during our week just relaxing, cooking, and playing board games. The boat ride to Las Animas with a stop at Los Arcos was a worthwhile outing. The beach down the hill is walking distance (but bring sneakers) and served well enough but it’s also worth taking the boat ride to Las Animas for a larger beach.

Beautiful and relaxing
The house is absolutely amazing! It is only a short cab ride to pretty much anything you want to do. The staff, Juan and Paula, are amazing! I would strongly recommend paying to have these two cook a few meals for you. Better than most restaurants!
The pool is kind of small, but it is great for relaxing. I would suggest having it heated, which can be done. There are also a lot of great little amenities here. I would definitely stay here again!

Hillside Home with Beautiful Banderas Bay Views
We have always celebrated Christmas at home, but decided this year we would celebrate in a different way by traveling together as a family to sunny Mexico! Ten of us stayed at Casa Mis Amores in Mismaloya. The house accommodated the 10 of us, with plenty of room for each couple to have a bedroom, and our four teenagers to carve out some space as well. Everyone used the beautiful master bedroom shower with views of Bandares Bay. Some of our group felt the mattresses were uncomfortably firm.
Our favorite time as a family was preparing meals together and the kitchen with it's center island was large enough to accommodate all the cooks! The freezer was not working for the first three days of our vacation, and that was disappointing, but we contacted Shelley and she arranged for repair. It took a couple of tries, but the freezer was fixed! We were also disappointed that the oven didn't seem to work either, even though Juan, the caretaker, tried his best. Shelley was always available by telephone or text to address concerns or to have her husband Manuel assist with communications in Spanish. She arranged for us to have dinner at a local restaurant and reimbursed us for the cost of the meal in exchange for our inconvenience. Juan and Paula cooked one dinner for us, and it was very good. Fresh fruit, coffee and housecleaning were provided daily and the two of them were always on time, courteous and helpful.
Our favorite activity was taking the hike down the hill to the beach near Hotel Barcelo where we enjoyed the sunshine, massage and food and drink. We all stayed fit making the climb back up to the house! We booked an ECO Tour to the Marieta Islands through Vallarta Adventures that included snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding. The highlight of the tour was seeing several pods of humpback whales as they swam and breeched high in the air!
A couple of other things are worth mentioning. The patio at the house has a Northern exposure, so if you like shade it is for you! In December the sun was not to be found on the property except for a couple of hours in the afternoon at the front entry. Mismaloya is a community that deals in cash only! We did not find any business that used credit cards until we visited Puerto Vallarta, so be advised to take lots of cash or be prepared to pay high fees at an ATM. Overall, we had a good vacation together as a family!

Amazing views!
We had a great time staying here. It was a wonderful retreat to return to after our excursions. We enjoyed the patio with the pool the most! We had cocktails at sunset on the patio followed the next morning with coffee by the pool. The views from the home are incredible.
We are a family of five with two teenagers and a ten year old. This house gave us the room to spread out and everyone have their own room! We went on a day trip to Yelapa, which I highly recommend. Transportation was easy. We either caught the bus, which is 8 pesos and can be caught at the bottom of the hill or Juan coordinated taxis in advance for us. We had dinner at Le Kliff which had amazing views too, and recommend that as well! We really enjoyed our time in South PVR! We will be back!

Beautiful view and perfect house!
Casa Mis Amores is an ideal place to stay while in Mismaloya. The view from all 3 levels is stunning, the proximity to the town of Mismaloya is ideal and the house is beautiful and perfect for all your needs. Six family members stayed here for 5 nights for a wedding and we were all so happy with this house! Plenty of room for everyone for sleeping, chilling on the patio, eating together at the table and just sitting around watching the view. The caretakers of this house, Juan and his wife Paola, are so gracious, kind, helpful and generous with their time. They cooked a traditional meal for us the first night which was fabulous. They prepared a breakfast every morning of fresh local fruit, toast and coffee. Juan helped us arrange a boat trip to Los Arcos, Animas beach and Majahuitas. I would recommend allowing Juan to set up a trip with just your group rather than booking a large tour. Taxis are located just down the hill which is walkable during daylight hours. Taxi drivers know the name of the house & location which makes it easier to get home! Before the trip, Shelley was so helpful giving us lots of important information regarding restaurants and local attractions. She was always available to answer my millions of questions too! If you're looking for a place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Old Town Puerto Vallarta, I would definitely recommend Casa Mis Amores. You will not be disappointed at the beauty!

Beautiful views, Great for family's
Our family stayed at Casa Mis Amores located in Mismaloya over the Christmas holidays. The responsiveness of the owners, Shelley and Manual was great and they helped us plan our vacation stay and this was greatly appreciated. They provided detailed emails and communication of what to expect and offered sound advice on activities for our stay. This included restaurants, boating, fishing, snorkeling and transportation recommendations.
The house care takers Juan and Palio where wonderful and provided a personal touch to our stay. Upon arrival into Puerto Vallarta, Juan met us at the airport with transportation. We made a stop on the way to Casa Mis Amores to purchase groceries for the week. Upon arrival at the house Juan and Palio provided chips and salsa along with drinks. Breakfast was prepared every morning and was excellent. La Kliff was recommended for dinner as this is a short 3 mile trip via taxi and the food, drinks and sunset views were amazing.
The week was great with a wonderful home with a truly million dollar view. The home has a luxury master suite on the 3rd floor with his/her bathrooms. The main floor provided great areas for our family to enjoy games at the dining room table. The downstairs provided 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for our adult children and this level walked out to the pool area. We enjoyed grilling out by the pool area.
If you are looking for a vacation spot away from the main tourist areas Casa Mis Amores is the home for you. Again Shelley and Manual were wonderful to work with and we highly recommend Casa Mis Amores. Five Stars

Views to die for and hospitality like non other!
From the airport we were greeted by Juan and we're driven to a local Walmart to stock up on groceries for the weekend before being shuttled to Casa de mis Amores. At the Villa we were again greeted by Paola who would be preparing our breakfast every morning. Both Juan and Paola were extremely accommodating, going out of their way to help us fill up pool inflatables, connecting us with local adventures such as horse back riding, boat rides and scuba diving. Their hospitality alone allowed us to truly feel like royalty.
From the top of the hills were magnificent views from every room. A beautiful breeze swept the entire house. There are three beautiful levels with plenty of space and drawers in each room. Showering while having a perfect view overlooking the jungle and the sea was especially delightful. Having a personal pool made our time spent at the house most memorable.
Our drive to local restaurants such as Lekliff and tequila tastings was beautiful as we wound through the jungle. Our adventures in the Malecon were just a few minutes away. Ther we came across beautiful local shops, and a nightlife that had a little bit of something for everyone!
We will definitely be revisiting Casa de mis Amores!

Amazing views and very homey
Casa Mis Amores was amazing! The view was nice, the privacy was excellent, and we already miss the great weather! Paula and Juan were amazing and extremely kind and accommodating as well. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit and Janis was there at the airport to greet us and show us around which was very nice. It was finally warm enough on our 5th day to swim and we definitely enjoyed the beach next to one of the resorts along the way. One of the locals told us where the best area to swim with no rocks and it was amazing! Everyone that we met was very nice. I would say the best thing we did was drive to boca where we took the boat ride to Yelepa. We were able to enjoy the day there and even saw a stingray do a belly flop in the water! We already miss all of the seafood and all of the house amenities. We will definitely miss the view! The house is amazing, private but not too isolated, easy to get to from Puerto Vallarta, bathrooms on every level and extremely clean. Paula and Juan take care of the place like it is there own and this place definitely beat staying at any of the resorts or hotels. You cannot get anywhere near the accommodations that you get from this house if you rented a hotel room. You get your private pool, private home with 4 bedrooms, personal attention from paula and juan, and plenty of balconies to see the ocean and sun set from every level. We will definitely be back soon!

LUXURY HILLSIDE HOME WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!
Four friends and I spent a week at Casa De Mis Amores and it wasnt nearly long enough! Upon our arrival to the house they were margaritas and chips/guacamole ready by the poolside, what a welcome! The house itself is impressive, with a spectacular setting on the hillside providing a view you will never tire of. The house has such emaculate details, decore, and plenty of space for a family vacation. We loved being a little removed from the major town, it provided such a relaxing, exotic setting...but the house is located so close to buses, taxis, and water taxis, it makes it easy to get around as well. So many activities just a short trip from the house! We went zip lining, snorkeling, and took a few water taxis to comb the beaches. Just walk down to the hotel Barcelo and have a water taxi take you to Las Gelemas beach, its a must! Juan and Paula are the house caretakers, and they are wonderful! coming every morining to clean up and prepare breakfast, they were so nice and helpful with any questions we had. Since returning home, all we have been talking about is when we can go back!
