First off, we booked this trip/house solely because of the photos and the stellar reviews. We are SO glad we did. Casa Carole is even better in person than it looks in photos. Each room has it's own floor, gorgeous bathroom, and spacious bedrooms. The pool and private beach are even better than pictured. The staff went above and beyond to make sure the drinks were flowing, we were fed with AMAZING meals of our choice, and that we felt like we were at home. It was even better than we imagined and I'm so thankful for our visit. Pepe is hilarious and kept cracking jokes. He did a great job of being present when we needed him (marg and happy hour... best shrimp quesdillas ever) and was out of sight when we were just doing our thing. Absolutely amazing service.

Wow, what a view! Great location! The staff was fabulous! Lots of room for a large group!

Many thanks to the owner and staff at Casa Carole for creating the ambience for the perfect Puerto Vallarta escape. The multiple levels and generously-proportioned suites provide all that is needed for personal privacy and group activities. The house, pool, and grounds are all meticulously maintained. Pepe makes sure you have everything you need and helps arrange any desired activities. We looked forward each day to happy hour drinks and snacks by the pool. The food prepared by Nely rivals the best in Vallarta, and Rosario kept the house spotless. We are already planning our return visit. ¡Muchas gracias!

Everything was better than expected. PePe and his team went above and beyond to make this trip the best.

This was our family’s second time at casa Carole! This place is magical! Beautiful views, very nice accommodations and the best food and drinks! Pepe even made smoothies for all the children during cocktail hour! Mari is a fantastic cook! Pepe can make anything you would like happen! We love the Casa but love the staff even more! You will not regret this place! Fantastic!!

There are not enough adjectives to describe our stay at Casa Carole!! Our family spent a week being pampered by Pepe, Mari and Rosario. Excellent. I give it six stars out of five!! We will be back!

This was the perfect house and location for our family of twelve, 8 adults, 2 teenagers and a 6 and 4 year old. The pool and beach provided hours of fun and Pepe answered any question we had and arranged any excursion we requested. A great vacation is when the only stress of the week is deciding on menus for Mari, an excellent cook, to serve. Rosario kept the house spotless and we loved the Mexican deco. The whole experience was a 10+ for our family.

At this property, you are surrounded by the soothing sound of waves. The property is perfectly designed for multiple families -- separate floors have a master bedroom, bathroom and outdoor sitting area. The pool and bar area is perfect. The location can't be beat. Pepe is a wonderful host and Mari is a fantastic cook. The property is extremely clean. The only issue was the wifi --the service is spotty but I am sure that can be improved. I highly recommend this property to anyone. I hope to come back soon!

The property was gorgeous, beautiful views, plenty of space, and private bathrooms in every room. Every room includes waking up to the sounds of the ocean and beautiful views. We loved the colored themes! The staff from start to finish was friendly, attentive, and flexible to suit all of our needs. The food was amazing. Still dreaming of Mari’s shrimp empanadas! Pepe the house manager was fantastic and very helpful, and we felt very taken care of and welcomed. Would definitely stay again!

We had such an amazing stay at Casa Carol. Happy, Rosario, Maria are unbelievable I made our stay extremely comfortable and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back to the house next year and we can’t wait to eat Maria’s excellent food and drink pepes great drinks!

Well appointed condo close to town. Walking distance to all the best shops and restaurants. We often just stayed in to relax and enjoy the views. Lovely accommodation. Wish we could have stayed longer! 5 stars!

The house exceeded our expectations. We had 6 adults who have travelled to PV a few times and this was by far the best house we have stayed in. Upkeep in the beach climate can be hard but the team does a great job maintaining the house and property. The pool is amazing, it was heated for us and we enjoyed many afternoons and evenings floating there looking for whales and watching the sunset. Pepe, Mari and Rosario are just the best. You will want for nothing and the food Mari cooked for us was outstanding. Definitely try the Chilaquiles (verde)! We can't wait to book a return trip.

Beautiful old world home, authentic Spanish style! We all had a private suite! Loved the view! Private pool and beach area! The best part was Pepe, Maria and Rosario! They took care of us completely! Would go back again we had such a great time! Thanks Michelle, Pepe, Maria & Rosario!!!!!!!

One of our best vacation experiences ever. Although the house is a little outdated and could use some TLC, the location and the staff are exceptional. Pepe goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need, and I mean everything. We were there for New Years eve, he had hats, blowers, grapes in a cup( for the traditional Mexican tradition) , table dressed up with flowers etc. We brought in the meat and Lobster and Mari cooked it to perfection, better than any restaurant we've eaten at. Every meal she cooked was tremendous, she never disappointed. The rooms were all large and well appointed, the only challenge were the stairs. There are several layers to the house and each room is on a separate level, even the kitchen, sitting room, and pool area, not designed for the elderly or young children. The pool was a good size and heated to the right temperature, you can spend hours relaxing overlooking the ocean. The pool is also in need of a little TLC and a thorough cleaning but other than that it's a great place to spend the day enjoying the sun. Due to the location of the house, you can expect full sun in the afternoon, generally around noon. The beach is located next door and is not really functional, it would be difficult to spend the day due to the tide and the number of rocks surrounding it. The owner (Michelle) was extremely easy to deal with, available to answer any questions you may have and assist you through the process. We were an adult family of 8 and had a truly fantastic experience, I would not hesitate to return.

Our Christmas vacation at Casa Carole was perfect. Pepe,Mari and Rosario were attentive to our every need. The food and cocktails were 5 star quality. The pool and hot tub were the right temperature and our family spent every day enjoying them.

Our stay was exactly as I hoped it would be, the house was spectacular, Pepe, Mari, and Rosario were attentive to all our needs. The pool and view of the ocean was unbelievable, having access to the beach was a big deal for our family, we spent all day there. The only complaint was the AC in the red room, wasn’t working as efficiently as it should, it blow towards the patio doors, and not towards the bed, leaving you to have a fan running all day and night to circulate the AC. We hope to return someday and stay again, it was a wonderful vacation.

This was the best vacation of my life. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything more. We arrived here in the last week of April and from the minute we set foot on the property, it was incredible. Perfect in every way. The house itself is a beautiful classic Mexican design. Lots of colorful tiles everywhere with that "Mexican Marble" in the bedrooms and living spaces. There is a spiral staircase leading down through the house, and as you decend you get the views and smells and sounds of waves crashing 100 ft away. Immediately, you're struck by the beauty. Struck. It gets better.... When we arrived and went to the pool level (the lowest), we met the staff- Mari (the talented chef) and Pepe (The "Houseman). they served us fresh made margaritas and the most delicious quesadillas I've ever had. Now... I've had a lot of mexican food and margaritas in my life. These were special. The staff took the time to squeeze fresh limes EVERY DAY for margaritas. This wasn't some mix from a bottle. This is the real deal. Sitting on the pool deck, you have a front-row seat to God's Greatest Painting... You look out on the bay that makes up Puerto Vallarta, and there is a mixture of beautiful sandy beaches along with gorgeous rock outcroppings. It is something special. As if it couldn't get better, the week got more incredible. Our housekeeper, Rosario would stealthly clean our rooms as well as the staff at a 4 Season. It was amazing. Even the tiny bits of sand that come in on the kiddo's swimsuits, she made sure to sweep up. The beds were big and comfortable. Everything was perfect. And the meals. THE MEALS! Every morning, Pepe was hand-juicing fresh oranges and they set out a fruit plate of delicious local fruits. Incredible. Then eggs, bacon (gotta have bacon), and some delicious dish that we requested (try the French Toast!). And the dinners were SPECTACULAR. We had beef and chicken skewers one night.... everything was delicious, Mari knows what she's doing, and Pepe serves you as if you were at his own personal restaurant. Even my niece who has a food allergy was accommodated. Hopefully you're not too stuffed to walk the 100 feet to a sandy beach. Seriously. It took me 48 seconds to go from the pool deck to sand-in-my toes.Perfect. One memory was after using the "bano" at 2 am and seeing the full moon shining its light across the water at night. I was dead tired from the day, but I could have stood there for 100 years..as the stress just melted. Bueno

We made the trip for my 50th birthday with 3 other couples. I could not have imagined a better place to celebrate with friends. Everything was perfect....the staff of Pepe, Maria and Rosaria were outstanding, the physical space was amazing - pictures don't do it justice and the proximity of being so close to Old Town was ideal. I cannot write a more glowing review than this and never have.

This is a beautiful villa directly on the beach! The views from every room are unbelievable! The staff is warm & wonderful! Every detail from the Colonial Mexican Architecture to the beautiful sunsets were superb! Fantastic food in the dining room or at the pool side deck! Dolphins swimming, manta rays jumping, whales breaching.....All right in front of the villa!!! Chef Mare can create anything you request and Pepe, the english speaking concierge, will arrange anything you need, or want....Boat rides, snorkeling trips, kayaking, a masseuse brought to the villa, SCUBA diving, zip line, ATV rides, theatre, para-sailing, clubs, elegant dinners. My family enjoyed every minute of our stay and look forward to returning soon!
