My husband and I had a wonderful time at Casa Sylvia. The apartment was clean, bright and spacious with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The pool and grounds at La Vida are well kept and inviting. Jorge was there to greet us and was available anytime we had any questions. We will defiantly stay again.

We stayed two weeks at Casa Tucan and enjoyed our stay at the condo and at the LaVida Complex. Thank you Sylvia

Perfectly situated on the Bucerias beach, this was the third time we've been to Sylvia's Casa. Each time has been better than the last. A short stroll into the village and you'll enjoy myriad beach restaurants, shopping opportunities or chances to sit on the beach and partake in a bucket of ice-cold Coronas under any number of palapas at the local beach bar! The evenings serve up a picturesque sunset that can be enjoyed from Sylvia's infinity pool on her deck while sipping on a margarita (in a plastic glass of course!). Stroll up to the main highway and hop a local bus either south to Puerto Vallarta and walk the Malecon, or head north and jump off at the surfing village of Sayulita - lunch at Don Perdro's is not to be missed! I highly recommend Sylvia's for anyone looking to enjoy this beautiful part of the world!

We are leaving today and I am so sad. La Vida has come to feel like home, only my home in a lovely paradise like garden.

It was a pleasure to return to Casa Tucan. The property is serene, luxurious and situated in a wonderful location. Everything went seamlessly during our stay. Communication with Sylvia was super easy. We are hoping to rebook for next year!

Second time and Bucerias, and never fails to impress. Sylvia always takes great pains to ensure that your stay at Casa Sylvia and in Bucerias is memorable, and that all of your needs are well attended to. We'll be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Tucan! The condo is part of a very beautifully designed small complex that reflects luxury, serenity, privacy, security, convenience and amenities. We mostly enjoyed the open-air living room with very comfortable seating and glorious views of the bay. The dipping pool on the condo patio is a lovely feature. The decor, together with the aesthetic soft lighting at night, provided the most atmospheric evenings. The property manager, Jorge, was terrific--easy to reach, spoke English well, was very kind and helpful and the property staff were also great.

My 7yo daughter and I went on a 30 day Mexican adventure this summer and adventure central was Casa Toucan. We had Spanish lessons, we ate out / ate in, we rested, we swam in the pool and the ocean, we snorkeled and went horseback riding. I found local dance lessons, day camps as well as glass blowing and art classes for my daughter (thanks to my friend and tutors contacts). We walked everywhere and we shopped at the local businesses on the main street as well as the Plaza about a half a mile away...fresh, hot chocolate churros anyone?? YUM!!!! Sylvia has done a great job with the house as it is beautifully decorated peaceful and comfortable to lounge in. She and the house manager helped immediately with some technical difficulties that came up due to the storms. And, I should also add that the most important feature for my husband (who wasn't travelling with us) was that it was safe. Hablo un poco Spanish, but that's about it. The gated property and the SUPER kind 24 hr / day staff stationed BOTH in the front and back of the property was very reassuring. The staff greeted us kindly daily, they helped us get early morning cabs to PV or Punta Mita for our snorkeling trips and we also got a call in the middle of the night to bear witness to a mama turtle laying it's eggs. What an amazing treat that was and all due to thoughtful staff!!!! The dipping pool located on our balcony was a fun ritual just before bed and the ocean breeze was a pleasure given the hot days. We've been back a little over a month and I miss it all. I wish I was there and we can't wait to go back (with my husband next time). Stop looking ... if Bucerias is where you want to go, this was the cleanest, safest and most central place to stay in. You will have an amazing time when you go ... Adiós amigos!!!

We spent 2 amazing weeks in Novemver 2015 & are headed back in April 2016. La Vida is perfectly situated on the beach in Bucerias & walking distance to all coffee shops, restaurants, town square, bars & shops. The condo, Casa Tucan, has fabulous ocean views & is just steps to the infinity pool & beach. Beautifully furnished & a fabulous kitchen. There is also a barbecue on the huge patio. A glass of wine with dinner on the patio watching the sunset is a sight not to be missed. There's also a spa pool on the patio, perfect for relaxing & cooling down after a day in the sun. Check out the local markets - lots of fun & good food! Can't wait for April!

We stayed at Casa Toucan over Christmas. We decided to escape the Wisconsin snow for sun and sand. We couldn't have been more happy with our decision. The home is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need. The home is decorated with local finds that make you never want to leave! Our two college age children loved the various lounging areas and the daily fun in the waves. We rented boogie boards from the Surf Shop during our stay. ($5/day). Everything you need is within walking distance, except the Mega Grocery store which was our only cab ride during our stay. The restaurants are fantastic. I would highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Before the owner listed on VRBO my husband and I and our daughter and her partner spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Casa Toucan. The furnishings and decor is beautiful and the views breath taking! We loved being able to walk to a wide variety of restaurants or cooking a meal at the condo. The houseman was friendly with an excellent command of English and was willing to take us to the grocery store Mega and help us find the items we wanted. He also did an excellent job of houskeeping. It made our holiday so relaxing! The pool beachside was warm and pristine. We can hardly wait to return!
