Everything was perfect! Great location, amazing property. Communication was always prompt i would definately start again!

You will not find better hosts. The communication is timely and accurate. There are no surprises. The condo is lovely inside and out. Location, view and short walk to lively main streets and sandy beaches makes a perfect vacation....effortless. Thanks again for a most enjoyable two week stay. Deb & Hugo

Everything about our two week stay was amazing! The condo was exactly as pictured! The patio overlooking the tranquil yard and pool was exceptional. We began each morning with our coffee on the patio and finished each day with a game of cards and enjoying the sunset and ocean view in the distance. We also took advantage of the BBQ on the patio cooking up fresh shrimp and fish we purchased from a fresh seafood market just across the highway. Everything we needed was available to us in the condo during our two week stay. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses and cutlery, the linens and towels were plenty, there was even laundry supplies available, although we brought our own. We are familiar with Bucerias and prefer a location off the beach and closer to the highway as we enjoy daily walks and exploring Bucerias from one end to the other. There are countless restaurants and groceries that are easily accessible whether you prefer to shop at a large franchise or smaller, locally owned markets. Mark was always a quick message away (although once we arrived we didn't need a thing!). Felipe greeted us upon our arrival and we used WhatsApp to connect with him while we were there. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Esther came twice a week to clean and took obvious pride in her work. She left the condo spotless from top to bottom. The small community within the building was very friendly and welcoming and the neighbours gave us a number of tips on restaurants and activities to enjoy while we were there. We can't say enough about this amazing condo! Thank you to Mark for sharing his home with us. It truly is a home away from home! The only downside was having to leave!

Quiet nice location. Loved every minute. Perfect location. Great veranda. Lovely view. Beach in the morning. Great foodie adventures. Accessible to Punta Mita, Sayulita and San Pancho.

This is a very comfortable condo to have as your home away from home. It has a Mexican charm. The owner is super friendly and helpful. The property manager and cleaner very good at their jobs and eager to please. The view is spectacular. Location perfect to easily access everything you need.

Perfect location, great neighbours, great views, and close to everything.

I have a real moral dilemma: I love this condo and this city so much that I don’t want anyone else to reserve it ahead of me, because I am definitively going back, but then.....I cannot lie.... My husband and I, and two friends, stayed in Mark’s condo all of February 2020 and I can confirm every single word in the previous reviews. What can I add to convince you to shop no more? How can a vacation place be so perfect? Let me try to find a few reasons not mentioned before: - Have you heard of the town of Trinidad, Cuba, where there is live music at every corner of the old town? Well Bucerías is the same, live music for all tastes, and far from the traditional Mariachis. For example, we loved Oscar, the Friday night singer at Deliociosas Mexicanas Restaurante, a hidden gem only 2 blocks from the condo. - If you are over 50 years old, being able to walk to the 5 star private hospital is a REAL bonus, you never know what health issue may arise at our age. The emergency room was empty so I got the best of medical attention within 2 minutes of arrival! This hospital is so used to Canadian and American clients that dealing with our insurance was a breeze, unlike many other hospitals in other countries. - No need to rent a car: you can do your groceries by foot 6 blocks away ( I always bring one reusable shopping bag per adult), and walk to everything in Bucerías. If you are there a month and have lots of time to kill, use local buses to visit other towns, north and south, very handy, clean, and cheap, a real cultural experience, and most drivers speak a little English. There’s always another gringo on the bus to guide you. But if you are on a one or two week vacation, lots of Uber drivers will come get you in 5 to 10 minutes. - We bought two SIM cards at the TelCel 5 blocks away, across the street from the delicious Pollo Feliz restaurant. The staff of the TelCel installed and activated the card, each card only cost $19 cdn for a month ( plus $2 tip for staff). So cheap but so helpful to call Ubers and consult your map, or find a restaurant, when you are not in the condo. So you find this condo a little more expensive than you had budgeted? Believe me, it is very well priced compared to the local market, because condo is perfect and Bucerías is getting extremely popular. Skip your Starbucks coffee every day, and instead, treat yourself to a glimpse of what heaven will be like when you get there! Michele and Dan from Ottawa, Ontario

We traveled to Bucerías with our 2 young boys aged 3 and 5 and stayed at Mark’s wonderful condo for 10 days in December. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Felipe met us upon arrival and answered all our questions. He was also available via WhatsApp for any inquiries. The other people who live in this condo were all so lovely and welcoming. The condo itself has everything you could want - extremely comfortable beds, fresh linens, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture and beautiful Mexican decor. The view from the balcony is stunning, no matter what time of the day. In the morning you can see the ocean (one day we saw dolphins jumping in the water) and in the evening the sunsets are incredible. You will never want to leave. The condo has lovely cross-breezes that kept the apartment cool and we never needed the A/C. On top of this, the pool is so lovely for relaxing and cooling off. Our kids absolutely loved swimming in it every day. The walk to the beach, though steep, is absolutely worth it and isn’t so bad really. Then you’ll be rewarded with a stunning beach which was never very busy. The water is beautiful. Mark’s condo also had everything we could ask for - excellent beach umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs and even sand toys for the kids. There are so many restaurants in town, and some excellent street food on the other side of the highway. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We are already dreaming of when we can return.

Had a great time. Condo is clean and has everything we could need. The location is perfect and the view is superb. Spent hours just sitting on the veranda watching sunrise and sunset. Pool and grounds well maintained. We will be back (again). Deb & Hugo (Calgary)

Very relaxing. Best beach within a short 3 blocks. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella and boogie boards provided. Or if you prefer, a wonderful pool downstairs.

I just left there Saturday (3/30/19) and I had myself a big whine leaving. The spacious, well-equipped condo is just perfect. There is everything you need! The beds are big, the sheets are crisp and wonderful, the ceiling fans, fans on stands, a/c, washer and dryer, movies, games, tv! Sheesh! You’d think I was home! The veranda’s view is my favorite. I went to Mexico with a friend and she had to pull me off the verdana most nights long after it was dark. It’s quiet, a short walk to the beach, a hike up the hill but we started to like the challenge. It’s secure and the neighbors are friendly. Mark was the BEST host as he was nothing but glad to help with anything I asked. Ana cleaned so well, Felipe helped with so much too. Thank you Mark and Amy! We hope to be back soon! Well worth repeating.

Our crew of five, including our 6 yr old, had the most relaxing and lovely stay at Condo Velmar. Mark and Amy have a perfect condo in a perfect location and were generous, responsive and perfect hosts. Filipe (property manager) and Ana were amazing, accommodating and helpful too. The other condo residents were welcoming and the pool was a perfect place for our son to learn to swim! The view is probably my favourite part, nothing like morning coffee overlooking the ocean. Thanks for letting us stay and we hope to be regular visitors.

A wonderful condo. Exactly as pictured. Manager and cleaner could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Our second visit and we are already looking forward to the next one! Thanks Mark, Felipe and Anna for a wonderful vacation!

Condo Velmar is very spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view of the bay. The sunsets and gentle breeze on the veranda are fantastic. It is located in a quiet part of Bucerias but within minutes of the beach, restaraunts etc. Mark & Amy have made this condo over the top with details that are just like home. Also, Felipe the manager makes sure your needs are met as well. We are already booked for next year !!

Exactly like the pictures. Great patio with ocean views. Condo has everything you need and a short walk to the beach, town and great restaurants. Planning our next vacation here!

The most stunning views from this well appointed condo! Relaxing with coffee in the morning, Carona by the pool in the afternoon, and a glass of Vino to watch the sunset were all part of our amazing vacation. The condo is clean, has great beds, nice towels & sheets and everything you need to cook. That said, you should not plan to cook as there are too many amazing places to eat within walking distance.  I particularily appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella which we used for our daily beach time! Did I mention the veranda? Worth mentioning again ... LOVED IT! There is air conditioning but, we did NOT need to use it once as there is always a lovely breeze. Special mention needs to be made about the owner, Mark is by far the best host you will ever deal with! Quick to respond to all my questions, kindly made recommendations, followed up before, during and after to ask if things were good or if there was anything he could do for us. Kuddos to the very attentive property manager Felipe who was there to greet us (with a big smile) when we arrived and provide a detailed walk through … there was even a big beautiful vase of fresh flowers for us to enjoy! Such a nice touch. Overall terrific experience and a property we will return to again. We truly felt comfortable and like we made new friends in Mark & Filipe.  Thanks for everything!!

This condo was everything advertised and more. The "more" part: the veranda...I cannot describe how relaxing and spacious it was. It was the perfect temperature with a warm breeze all day long. It provided a great space so we could all comfortably relax. There were four adults and our 1 year old daughter in our party. I was a little worried it would be cozy for all of us, especially with our daughter walking and exploring. It was perfect. We were really happy to find this condo because it had two kind beds. That is hard to find no matter were we are looking at vacationing. When we used the pool, we had it to ourselves. Mark was quick to respond to all our questions. He went above and beyond when we asked about bringing our daughter and looking for items we might need. He was thorough and ensured we had everything we needed, well before we arrived. We would definitely stay here again.

Honestly, we have been going to Bucerias for over 25 years and we hate to leave every time. This particular Bungalow is strategically built for view, breeze from the ocean, privacy, and access to pretty much anything you want to do. It's just close to everything! The balcony view is die for and you could spend the whole morning there. Roomy, nicely decorated and a parking space! Also, you'll love the private pool for just the condos!

I needed some quiet time with my computer. I hit the jackpot with this condo. The unit had high speed Wi-Fi which helped me out to no end. I spent most of my time on the balcony giving me warm breezes and views of Banderas Bay (Pacific Ocean). The unit gave me everything I needed - room safe, refrigerator, gas stove, clean towels and sheets. Maid service is included twice during the week. The pool was a pleasant diversion during the day. The grounds is maintained in a near professional condition. The unit is very safe and secure. Access to the condo is through wrought iron gates making me feel as ease. The location of the unit is in walking distance to the beach and wonderful restaurants. Last note: if you wish to take in everything the area has to offer, a rental vehicle is recommended. I endorse this condo for both couples and families as it's on the 2nd floor and very secure.
