The town of Bucerias already holds so many fond memories for our family, and The Casita only added to them. From the moment our family arrived, the house, staff, and property exceeded every expectation we had, and some. Starting with Mari, who honestly deserves her own five-star review; her cooking and service was nothing short of extraordinary. Every meal was full of flavor and perfectly suited to our unique tastes, which helped make us feel right at home. Mari kept the casita very clean throughout our stay and is genuinely warm, kind, and wonderful. The casita is absolutely beautiful, well designed, comfortable, and full of local and classy charm. The property was a perfect balance of relaxed coastal living and luxury, while also being practically functional. The private pool was most popular with our nephews, who spent almost every second possible in it. The beach is just steps away and was everything we could have wanted on our vacation. My only hesitation in writing this 5 star review is purely selfish in that I want to be the only one who ever stays at this amazing property.

Wonderful family vacation

We had our family of four here, and it was a perfect getaway. Mary took great care of us with fresh and authentic meals each day. Even in the July heat, we were able to enjoy our stay because the pool was refreshing and the bedroom air conditioning kept us comfortable at night. The town of Bucerias is a gem.

Having your own sanctuary pool and delicious meals prepared to share in your own space was a luxury and allowed us more time to relax and enjoy our holiday. With the beach only a block away and a wonderful variety of restaurants within a short walk, this venue couldn’t be better. The pictures of the home are enticing, but even words cannot describe this blissful escape. Maria, our chef and hostess, was charming and cooked amazing meals for us. There is a large menu with a quite a wide selection. We chose more authentic Mexican cuisine. The five young adult travelers said this was their absolute favourite type of holiday. The venue booking agent, Shayne, was exceptional to work with and ensured all was in good order in advance, during and post vacation.

Wonderful House, Incredible Staff

Fun and beautiful house! 3 masters each with additional lofted twins. The location was perfect for us, walkable to everything, especially the beach! Affordable taxis right outside the door, or local buses and vans just up the hill. Karen and Maria are the best! The cooked all of our favorite Mexican dishes for breakfast or lunch.

Great house and Karen is amazing

The pool is great, especially for family with kids. They kept it clean and maintained it during our stay. Karen (the cook) does it all. She cooked great meals, cleaned and always made sure we were taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure my birthday was great. She organized a mariachi, ordered a cake and set up a piñata. Honestly the best birthday I’ve ever had. She also made sure the kids had food they liked and made them smoothies and juices and adult drinks for us. I wish I could take her home with us!

Vacation of a lifetime!

Its hard to put into word how much we enjoyed our stay. We had family coming in from the East and West coast of the US. It was such a pleasure to meet Karen and Maria, they seemed like family from the very first. They met our every expectation. The food was wonderful and it spoiled me from not having to plan, shop, cook and clean after all the meals. Karen's surprise for us was a highlight of the whole trip. (I can't tell what it was as not to spoil it for others). The beach access was so convenient for the whole family and not crowded. We loved that our intersection was a hub for taxi's which made for easy transportation. Also short walking distances to stores, shops and other shopping.

A True Delight

We had an amazing time. The house set up was perfect for 3 couples. The location with its proximity to the beach and town were fantastic. It was very nice to be able to walk everywhere. The common living area and indoor outdoor living is great for a group. Having our own rooms with a/c to retreat to with comfortable beds kept our group refreshed. Karen and Maria and the addition of prepared meals is the best. We opted for breakfast and heavy snacks late afternoon. They honored all our dietary needs. Such a treat. It was my birthday and they got me a delicious cake. Also massage therapist came to the house for a one hour massage. I highly recommend. Communication with Shayne and Karen and Maria easy and responsive. Thank you for the perfect back drop to a birthday trip.

What an amazing stay! The home is full of charm (that's a good thing). Karen and Mary were so kind and accommodating. It was such a luxury to have breakfast prepared every morning for us. And then to have snacks around 3pm after spending the day on the beach - which is only a block away! Shayne was so patient and kind with all our requests/questions, and she sent a very thorough pre trip info list that covered everything from the airport to dining ideas and shopping tips. We will definitely stay here again.

Best Vacation

When we arrived (all six of us) we were met by Denise, who had appetizers waiting for us, along with cold beer and margaritas (for the adults of course). A vacation doesn't get much better than this when you have twin 6 month old babies and a six year. The three rooms allowed us to spread out and relax, and the pool was perfect. The beach is only a block away for walks, etc. They even arranged a car to pick us up at the airport and Denise did all the shopping negating the need to rent a car. Would HIGHLY recommend this Villa, but be warned once you vacation like this you will be spoiled.

Amazing, comfortable place and Anna is great!!

We were a group of 8 people. The house was super nice, very comfortable and had all of the necessities. While it's located outside of PV, cabs were inexpensive. It's a very short walk to the beach and Karen's (which was our daily destination). Bucerias is a really cute town but we stayed in for most of our meals and had Anna cook for us. She is what really made the house special. We didn't have to think about planning a meal for a large group and her food was absolutely delicious. Our group rarely visits the same place more than once but we all agreed we would love to return to the house!!!

Quaint beach getaway

I stayed at the property with my husband, three kids (7, 7, 10 years old) and one other family of 4. We had a wonderful time. The home was very cute and clean. The pool was clean and well maintained. The location was on the Main Street in the little town and a block from the beach. The food was outstanding, cooked by the lovely Karen. She was both cook and maid for our trip as she was the only staff member. She cooked everything we asked and was helpful throughout our stay. We had some amazing meals and all agreed her cooking was better than any of the food we ate out at the couple of restaurants we visited. She really made our trip extra special and would look forward to staying at the property and hopefully seeing Karen again in the future.

Unforgettable Trip

Even before we arrived, in communicating with Shayne about the home, we knew this was going to be a family vacation we would never forget. In previous trips to the Puerto Vallarta area, we have stayed at all inclusive, we will only stay at private homes from here on out. Upon arrival, being greeted by Karen at the front door and having a phenomenal lunch prepared while we settled in the house for our stay. The staff and food continued to exceed our expectations as the week went on. The location of a 5 minute walk to the beach, the shopping of Bucerias and the local sports bar Ozzies is perfect. We will certainly have this home in our hearts forever and will be back again in the near future. Thank you Shayne. Andy, Beth & Family.

Hi Shayne and Arturo, I would like to thank you for our awesome time at "Casita Camino al Mar" It was beyond our best expectations. Denise and Paulino were fantastic and all enjoyed them. Without them here our experience wouldn't have been the same. What a cook and what a team working so easily with each other. We are all talking about repeating this again next year. We would ask for them again to be with us. You made Terri's "50th Birthday so very special for all. Thanks, Steve and Terri Leslie, Stan and Laurie Leslie. John and Dee Dee Gilbert

Wonderful!

We had the most wonderful time at this property. A few weeks before our visit, there were some challenges getting the property info (the attachments wouldn’t open when sent through the VRBO website), but then Shayne and I emailed each other directly and all the info came through fine. From that point on, the communication was excellent. Generally Shayne was very quick responding to questions and giving very clear info. The property was great and we enjoyed the warm pool so much that we didn’t go on many outings and we didn’t spend much time one block away at the beach. I would rate the house itself pretty close to a 5/5. Karen (our cook) was amazing- so friendly and helpful. She even arranged a mariachi duo for a surprise serenade during dinner on my wife’s birthday. My wife said it was her best birthday ever (and you can’t put a price tag on that!). One possible “con” to consider is that the ladders up to the lifts are very steep in 2 of the 3 rooms. For most people, this shouldn’t be a problem. But younger kids will need to be careful, especially sleepily climbing down in the dark at night to use the bathroom. The bedside lights in the room flip down in themselves and can serve as “nightlights” so this was helpful. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in Casita Camino al Mar

The property was just as described in listing. We used the cooking services provided by Karen and it was amazing. She has a restaurant sized menu to choose meals from and she shops daily for fresh items to cook for your meals of choice. We loved everything she made us, food and drinks!! You pay for the grocery receipts and her taxi fares and then we gave her a nice tip at the end of the week. The pool is salt water and has no smell and it was a perfect temperature. There are several trees around that drop leaves and things, but the pool guys came by a couple of times during the week to clean it up. The main living area and bathrooms are open-air, so it was pretty warm during our July stay. However, there are a/c units for the bedrooms, so we slept comfortably. There were a few mosquitos that got after us in the evenings, so some bug deterrent is a good idea. We only went to the beach once because I prefer a pool, but it is close by. There is a larger hacienda next door that Karen told us has 7 beds & 7 baths, if you are in need of something even bigger. Karen also scheduled a massage for me at the casita for a very reasonable price. I had her come by twice!! Overall a very good trip other than the July heat....but it is Mexico!! It would probably be a really nice springtime location to avoid the heat/humidity, but we just stayed in the private pool to stay cool and we were fine.
