Amazing property close to town in gated secure community. Pool was great for kids with a large shallow area. Private beach was spectacular with more pools and some snorkeling options. Very easy, relaxing family vacation.

We absolutely loved this home. It is so special and feels amazing with all the open air

Spacious open concept design with a fabulous view of the ocean, mountains and jungle. A short walk to the community pools and small private beach where we spent most afternoons swimming and listening to the surf. The property manager Karla was very welcoming and attentive to our every need. She is very knowledgeable about services in Chacala and even arranged for us to get the required PCR test for COVID before returning to Canada. Marina Chacala is a quiet sanctuary from the noise and heat of the village. We loved our time there and hope to return soon.

Lovely location sitting in the marina chacala gated community with an open air living and dining area perched looking down at the village of chacala and its curving beach. The house is fine but looks to have not been updated since being built 10-15 years ago. The home is a villa in a condo development with 4-5 other homes areound a shared pool. All of these homes have open air living areas and we had frequent noise from a TV in one of the houses nearby. Noise from the town also drifts up when a band is playing. The sheets were no quality and pillows stained and old. We complained about this after the first night and the property manager Karla saved the day by bringing new bedding. The private beach in marina chacala is lovely but isolated from the town. The town itself is very underdeveloped with dirt roads, potholes and seemingly always muddy sections behind the beach. The contrast between the private development and the town is disturbing. One wonders why all of the expensive homes in Marina chacala can’t help the town a bit more.

Villa Blanca #2 was great! Large airy rooms, huge palapa living room with views over the town of Chacala, bay and surrounding mountains. Just beautiful watching the moon rise over the mountains in the evening. Our 3 kids loved the pool right outside our palapa and played in it for hours. Short 5 min walk to private Chacalila beach with larger swimming pool, lap pool, shady palm trees. Short 15 walk in the other direction out of Marina Chacala into town. We had a great time.
