Such a great spot and relatively quiet for PV. The birds were our alarm clock and once up we sat and enjoyed our coffee on the little balcony. So many different coloured butterflies to see! Sunsets were amazing. A/C is a blessing as late afternoon is bright and warm if you happen to be in the suite. Our two and a half weeks flew by!

This rental is beautiful and the staff are awesome. The Carriage house sits above the main guest house, closer to the main road. Expect road noise and vibration from traffic. All staff, house guests and service workers enter and leave the property directly below your balcony. Perfect for additional guests when renting the main house.

Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Staff were excellent, professional and kind. Carriage house is beautiful. We would return again, and highly recommend this place to anyone (who can handle a lot of stairs) The proximity to everything, while feeling pleasantly secluded and private, is a bonus. Stunning property.

Staff is amazing. Place is clean and very quiet at night. The bed is good. It’s about 100 steps down to the beach-not too bad. Once you are down there it is easy to walk to Romantic Zone and Malecon. I traveled solo and felt very safe. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are staying in the Carriage house you do not have access to the pool. Over-all I highly recommend this place, especially if you want a quiet nights rest.

We enjoyed our time in Puerto Vallarta and this condo was in a great location...not far from town and walkable if you go to the beach and walk from there. Oscar was absolutely wonderful and helpful when we had questions. The condo was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The housekeeping was fantastic...restocked water and coffee and did some laundry for us when needed. I would only say that there are a lot of stairs to the beach, so just be prepared to walk back up to the condo! We hope to visit again.

A wonderful stay! We had ten days - the weather was hot but having AC and the ocean nearby made it all work out. We got in the ocean every day and while those stairs are no joke, it made taking a shower when we got back even more refreshing!

Exceptional place! I do not know what I can add to the accurate and well-deserved glowing reviews. It’s wonderful and highly recommended. The everything you need to make yourself at home casita, carriage house offered privacy and quiet only steps away from various beach settings from rugged and rocky shores to hopping night life. There’s also a remarkable book of recommendations from outdoor activities to dining. Last but not least the staff is just amazing.

Great stay!

We loved staying at the Carriage house. It had great access to the beaches, our favorite was walking along the water to Conchas Chinas beach and then stopping back at Amapas beach before heading up the stairs. It was also very relaxing to walk home on the beach after grabbing dinner in town and witnessing all the various festivities happening in PV.

The Carriage House is a perfect respite for a couple with plenty of room. It was well appointed and although there were a couple items that we required, they were taken care of so very quickly. The daily maid service was an absolute treat, but we try to treat our rental as if it were our own home and tried to make as little work for maid service as we could.We were greeted courteously and cheerfully when we arrived and that cheerfulness was genuinely given by all the staff our whole stay.Having some welcome items in the fridge was a very kind touch and much appreciated.Thank you Jordan, and staff, so very much for a wonderful two weeks in November. We look forward to staying with you again.
