Fun

Very easy check in, was able to use the property manager for a ride to condo, I’d recommend stopping at the big grocery store if you want food to cook, a lot more options and very nice store. Condo was exactly as presented in information, the rooftop plunge pool was our favorite. Yes there was construction around but we knew about it beforehand and thus not surprised and it wasn’t bad. Overall excellent time and would go back.

The apartment was exactly as the photos on the listing showed. Right on a lovely, little beach cove, and more quiet and unfrequented than Bucerias or Puerta Vallarta. Only steps away from the marina, and incredible views from every window at oceanside. There is a lot of building construction going on right now on the street where the condo is located, but once inside the apartment, you don’t hear a noise. The federal government is doing a major rebuilding of the main road between La Cruz and Bucerias, so not easy on people with back issues but does not cause major delays getting to Bucerias or PV. We had a wonderful 4 days in the apartment, and it has the best equipped kitchen of any vacation site I have been to.

La Cruz is a town on locals and expats. It’s a quiet non touristy destination. The marina is a convenient location as it allows for a nice walk into center of town. Some new restraints are opening and there is a ton of building going on- as the secret is out. The beach in front of the penthouse is perfect for swimming. The penthouse is as described - very nice! Very comfortable! We will be back! *only note is there is construction around the unit but it’s quiet by 6pm and the ocean and wind do a nice job distracting you from the sound. In puerta Vallarta area it’s near impossible to escape any construction…. We ended our vacation in Sayulita and I can say the quiet of la Cruz and comfort of this pent house are missed. Thank you for hosting us. - I travelled with a friend to celebrate her 50th. But this unit is nice for families as well.

From the time we booked the communication with Cheryl and the concierge was very responsive. Place was very clean modern cozy and full of amenities. Great kitchen well supplied. Best side of the beach. Overall great experience

Loved Cheryl’s condo! Great views of the marina and the bay, and the deck top pool was super relaxing. The unit had everything we needed to grill up some fish and shrimp from the market, and close to town for the nights we decided to eat out (and we highly recommend Masala’s for dinner). Would stay there again.

First, the photos and descriptions were spot on. The location was perfect, far enough from PV Tourists but close enough to partake if desired. La Crux while sleepy was filled with unexpected options. Sunday Market was a must and dining options were excellent. The condo was perfect for dining in when we wanted too, coffee each morning watching the sun rise from any of the three balconies was a highlight. Floor plan and kitchen were perfect and it was nice to have a secure garage space. Location adjacent to the marina was a plus to watch all the fishing, sail, and motor yachts come and go. Beach favored by locals was perfect to walking and swimming without all the vendors constantly trying to sell you something. Cheryl did an amazing job decorating, furnishing and equipping the condo. You don’t need to bring anything. We wanted to not have an agenda, have to feel obligated at all inclusive resorts and really do what we wanted to and when. If you want that experience then PV would be a better choice. We will return next year.

Cheryl’s place is everything she said it would be. We had a great stay couldn’t pick a better view and better sites. Thank you Cheryl for everything.

Nayri Penthouse was an amazing place to stay, The condo is situated on the beach and the views could not get any better. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the bird life and the boat activity at the Marina. The condo is spacious, exceptionally clean and the kitchen is equipped with every amenity. We really enjoyed the plunge pool, and relaxing beach walks. The location is within walking distance of the Marina, market, restaurants and every Friday the Dancing Horses We also appreciated the secured parking and the elevator directly into the penthouse Thanks Cheryl we really enjoyed staying at Nayri 6 and cannot wait to return.

Our stay in this condo was so easy and seamless. It’s quiet, nicely located on the beach, and next door to the marina. We enjoy walking into La Cruz for dinner each evening after hanging out in the pool all day.

Cheryl's place is an incredible get away in La Cruz. Situated on the beach adjacent to the amazing marina, it boasts incredible vies of the marina, Bay of Banderas, and Nuevo and Puerto Vallarta in the distance. With too many amenities to list, it is as comfortable as being in your own home. The easy access to and from the property to town or to the beach is perfect, while still being very private and quiet. Priced very reasonably, I would strongly consider this place for any stay in and around La Cruz.

Prepare yourself for a luxury experience offered by Cheryl on the bay in La Cruz. The photos are entirely accurate and the experience is lovely. We were prepared for the small village atmosphere and even the construction. The condo and rooftop pool are the perfect opportunity to lean in to a quiet vacation—even during the rainy season. We rented a car and navigated rain and potholes to go to Punta de Mita restaurants, the W and beach clubs. La Peska the restaurant on the bay is lovely and you will be well taken care of closer to “home.” Cheryl is very responsive! Highly recommended experience away from the crowds of Puerto Vallarta!

I can’t say enough about the condo and there are no words adequate to describe the view. The owner and property manager were prompt with communication and took care of every need we had. The property manager set us up with a woman who came in and did some cooking a couple of the days we were there. She was fantastic and I highly recommend that service. We took full advantage of the private pool and it was definitely a highlight for us. There was only one thing not exceptional, but completely out of the control of the owner. I even hesitate to mention it because the the condo itself and the beachfront are so stunning, but it is good to know to set a realistic expectation. La Cruz is undergoing tremendous growth and there are condominiums being built to either side. The noise did not start before 8 AM and they were finished up by 5PM, but there’s definitely construction noise. However, my husband thoroughly enjoyed watching the construction process which is unlike anything you’ll see in the States. Also under development are the roads that lead up to the condo itself. When you first arrive you may find yourself wondering if this truly could be the place and then when you enter you realize it is everything that the pictures show it to be. La Cruz itself is a small developing fishing village so if you are looking for fancy restaurants to walk to or any sort of night life, this is not the place for you. This is a community for people who still want a more traditional cultural Mexican experience like us! The seven days we were there, we only took a cab out of the area once and that was to Sauyalita which I highly recommend. We have been to Puerto Vallarta a couple times before and I don’t think we will ever go back there, too much big tourism. Please note, there are no ATMs in La Cruz and most things are pesos only. I would recommend making a stop on your way from the airport to get all the cash you think you’ll need for your trip.

My husband and I initially were drawn to this penthouse by the private rooftop and plunge pool, then we read about La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and knew this quiet Mexican village was the perfect spot to find rest. The apartment was well appointed with high end linens, furnishings and decor. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beach was very quiet, even on the weekends when the locals come to the beach with their families. The host and her property manager were easy to reach and prompt in their replies. If you are seeking an relaxation on an authentic Mexican vacation then this is a wonderful haven of rest.

Without a doubt the nicest place my wife and I have ever stayed at. This place is straight up luxury. Some friends said we were foolish to go during the hottest part of the year, but we spent so many hours on the rooftop pool that it was completely fine. The all three views (bedroom balcony, living room balcony, and room) were incredible. The AC units keep the inside nice and cool, the artwork is amazing lights up, the elevator goes straight into the penthouse, getting in and out of the place is very easy. Lots of keys and codes but still easy and secure. We didn’t cook at all aside from reheating some food from nearby restaurants, but the kitchen is fully stocked in every way you can think of. The beds are super comfortable with super soft sheets and pillows. We ate breakfast at The Little Hot Grill every morning… Ten minute walk. Simple but delicious breakfasts with sweet staff… so much flavor. We also ate at La Peska twice (delicious seafood at the end of the marina… 20-minute walk.) We spent a day in Sayulita as well, which was a blast. We ate at Tacos Junior for lunch twice… amazing pastor tacos and tortas. Ten minute walk, very easy. We did not rent a car, but didn’t regret it because the restaurants were within walking distance and we stayed at our place so much. You won’t want to leave the rooftop deck. Seriously. The only downside was the construction happening on BOTH sides of the building. They would work from 8-5pm and were really loud during the day. The plus side of this was the complete privacy after 5pm on the rooftop. I’m also pretty sure that no one else was in our condo complex when we stayed, so it felt like we had the whole block to ourselves! The construction is loud and an eyesore, but it’s still worth the trip down to this amazing condo. Also, Michelle, the property manager, was so accommodating and fantastic with communication. She even picked us up at the airport and arranged a taxi to our next destination in Boca. She and Cheryl make a great team and have created a palace. 10/10 experience and we can’t wait to go back!

You could not choose a lovelier, more gorgeous apartment to stay in La Cruz. Cheryl has done a spectacular job of creating an effortlessly elegant, modern yet welcoming and beautifully appointed penthouse, with a most extraordinary view of the bay and marina. It was spotless, spacious with gorgeous bedrooms and main living area, fantastic bathrooms, great mattresses. It is like being at home, but better. The rooftop sundeck with sunbeds, sparkling plunge pool and fabulous adjacent powder bath and outdoor shower, plus a shaded hang out area with bbq and fridge is unequalled. If you want a place to be absolutely comfortable, spoiled and kick back in, this is it. Cheryl is also very caring and lovely to communicate with, as is her wonderful Mexican end staff. 10 stars!!!

Amazing unit with beautiful views. Cheryl was very helpful and takes pride in the unit. The rooftop pool was a great experience. Good restaurants are a short taxi drive. The marina is close and walkable. The neighboring construction was a distraction especially in the mornings. But seems to be nearing completion. We would stay again.

Overall we were very pleased with this property. It was what was advertised. The condo is very nice, with high end applicances, comfortable and well-made furniture and beds, luxorious sheets and towels, great views from the sixth floor, a lovely pool, and good location on the beach. The underground garage was a plus but might be challenging to get in and out if all six cars are there. The town has pros and cons, depending on what you are looking for. Although there are a lot of expats, it is not a touristy town. It appears to be a real town. The marina is a plus if you are planning any boating activities (we recommend the whale watch tours during the season). The fish market is a five minute walk and was a highlight (super fresh, super cheap fish). The Sunday market was great. But the roads are not great off the main street. The town is a bit litter filled. The beach next to the condo is good but not great; it's protected so there are no waves. The dogs are plentiful, on the loose, and friendly. We mostly ate in but there appear to be several good restaurants. The town is charming in an authentic way and the residents appear friendly. If you are into upscale towns, this is not the place for you. We enjoyed hiking Monkey Mountain and spending the day at Sayulita (very busy, crowded, market filled beach town) and San Francisco San Pancho (similar but smaller and more quaint).

This property is amazing. Everything is top notch, and Cheryl has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Make sure to include a sunset sail with Rick right from the marina and take a drive to eat at Punta Mercedes

My partner and a good friend stayed at Cheryl’s condo for 5 days and 6 nights and couldn’t be more pleased about the property and our experience. Cheryl was kind, responsive and incredibly helpful on all fronts. The condo was EVERYTHING and MORE of what was shown and described on the site. From the stunning views to the high quality design and amenities inside, this is one of the most beautiful properties I’ve stayed at in all of my many trips through VRBO.

Walking distance to downtown La Cruz and the Marina, this condo is the perfect place to relax and watch the sunrise, the sunset and the boats coming in and out of the Marina. The kitchen is well equipped with top of the line appliances if you want to cook and the upper deck is the best place to watch the world go by with a book in one hand and a cold drink in the other. The beach in front of the condo complex is wonderful for swimming and at low tide you can walk all the way to Bucerias. For our 10 day vacation we had all we needed in La Cruz, including some great restaurants (Yin Yang Sushi, Little Hot Grill and La Peska were our favourites), live music and whale watching. Would definitely recommend!

The elegance of the accommodation combined with the authentic Mexican charm of La Cruz creates a truly memorable experience that meets and exceeds expectations in so many ways. The unit is as beautiful in real life as the photos depict and it is so completely equipped that no need is unfulfilled. The private rooftop patio and plunge pool made for incredible views and stunning sunsets and sunrises. The proximity to the daily fish market and multiple quaint restaurants made the condo central to all needs. Cheryl was incredibly responsive to our questions and gladly provided local knowledge and guidance that made our stay even better. Truly fantastic!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! Cheryl was very accommodating and quick to respond! La Cruz was the perfect small town with a nice and welcoming community. Do your research if you're first-time travelers to Mexico, but even with little experience, Cheryl provides you with all the answers you need.

Great property … great owner … great local rep = great experience

My husband and I stayed at this property for our 31st anniversary. We fell in love with the property when we saw the pictures, but loved it even more in person. We felt very grateful to have stayed right on the beach where we could see the shoreline all the way to Bucerias, fireworks from Puerto Vallarta, and the mountains toward La Cruz. We enjoyed the sounds of the waves from our balcony as well as the bedroom....We didn't even use the air conditioner because the breeze was so nice. Watching the boat traffic come and go from the marina was also a favorite. Cheryl was very responsive to our questions and provided great recommendations for dining and activities. We can't wait to go back!!

This place is great and the view is breathtaking. Cheryl has thought of EVERYTHING!!!!! I recommend renting a car. We spent a day in Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita. Sunset dinner at Litibu Grill is a must. You will find it hard to leave this condo. The rooftop deck and pool is awesome. We look forward to going back!

This place is a hidden gem and the property owner/staff are just as great. As we walked through the elevators and into the condo, it took my break away. It was the perfect combination of a 5 star luxury resort but very private. The beach and sand and dreamy. My husband tends to get a little antsy on trips, always wanting to go go go; but this time he was able to really unwind. The staff and host went above and beyond, literally like having a service butler on hand. We like to bounce around and always try new locations/accommodations but we have finally found ‘the one’. Thank you Cheryl and Oliver for the perfect vacation!

PERFECT !!!WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!!Cheryl sexy it right!!!

PERFECT !!! WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!! Cheryl sexy it right!!!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is stunning as are the views. We were able to watch the moon and sun rise every day while enjoying the vast views of the bay. The kitchen is everything a chef could ask for. The town is sleepy but full of wonderful bars and restaurants. The locals are welcoming and kind. The fish market was a perfect spot to purchase many of our home cooked meals. Cheryl set us up with gracious folks to help us with our every need. I hate to post this review because I want this little gem to always be available when we travel back to the area! The best!

Great view, great finishes, amazing rooftop! Highly recommended!

Beautiful property with lots of amenities… clean and modern. Property just as described. Cheryl and Oliver are responsive, friendly and prompt!
