Description
3 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 6 adults and 2 children under 12)
We have a large, luxurious, 3,500 square foot beachfront condo with a 180 degree view of the beautiful, rugged, North Coast of the Bay of Banderas and the Marieta's Islands, which you can enjoy from our 65' x 12' balcony. The only thing that separates our condo from the white sand swimming beach is the 30+ yard swimming pool and jacuzzi.
We are located 45 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta Airport in the quaint fishing Village of Punta de Mita, we are just outside the gate of the Punta Mita Development which includes the Four Seasons and St. Regis resorts and golf courses. There is a Greg Norman designed golf course less than 8 minutes from the condo. Just 10 minutes beyond the golf course are the 'zip lines' , where you can 'fly' through the trees with the ocean breezes in your face. Or, at the same location you can rent horses or a 4 wheeler and take a ride on the beach. In 15 minutes you can visit the picturesque old town of Sayulita and explore numerous secluded beaches.
This second floor condo sleeps 6 adults and 2 children under 12 and has 2 very spacious master suites facing the unobstructed ocean view, a third bedroom, a large living room and dining room, 3 1/2 bathrooms, a large modern kitchen with all top of the line commercial Viking equipment, a media room with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, a Bose sound system for the living room that has a CD player with hookups for IPHONE or IPOD music, and a Vonage phone with free limitless calling and receiving to the U.S. and Canada. There is full air conditioning, all marble floors and granite counters, a bar area for entertaining, an elevator, and maid service twice a week (more if you wish). We have decorated the walls with several large original paintings by the late famous Mexican artist, David Villasenor. He specialized in colorful works depicting the lifestyles and clothing of the indigenous people of Mexico. We call our condo; “Espejo del Mar” (mirror of the sea) because of the large mirrors we have placed to reflect every possible angle of the ocean and coastline.
SURFERS TAKE NOTE…………we offer at no charge to our guests: 4 long boards, 8'6, 9’0, 9’4”, 9’8”, 1 short board, 7’1” ( kind of “gunny” for fast down the line waves), 2 new stand up paddle boards, 2 new one man kayaks, 3 body boards, 2 small foam surfboards, 5’6”, 6’0, (great for kids to learn on) and 2 semi hard boards, 8’2” (good “transition” boards for beginning surfers)…………………this will save you the money, time, and tremendous hassle of bringing down your own equipment or renting!..........Please check out the picture of all the equipment on our site.
There are only 12 units in our building so we have a lot of quiet and privacy. There are 24 hour security guards and locked gates, so this is a very safe area. The guards speak English and are very helpful. We also have a manager who can help you with any questions or concerns you might have during your stay.
There are many beachfront restaurants within a short walk from the condo just past the small harbor where you watch the fisherman returning for the day with the seafood you'll be eating that night!
At the harbor you can rent small boats called 'pongas' for fishing, sightseeing and snorkeling trips to the Marieta's Islands (20 minutes away), surfing adventures, and whale watching during the winter mating season (November through March).
Whale Watching!

Also at the harbor there is a fisherman's co op where you can buy fish caught that morning (unbelievable prices!) and use the barbeque next to our pool to cook it for fish tacos........the service crew at the condo will even clean up the grill when you're done!
We promise you one of the most relaxing vacations of your life, your blood pressure will drop as soon as you arrive and you get into the slow, laid back rhythm of this tropical getaway. You will feel, with the slow pace and friendly people of the village of Punta de Mita, that you're in a Corona Beer commercial!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS;
Do we need to rent a car?
It is not necessary to rent a car. You can hire a taxi or van from the Puerto Vallarta airport or we can arrange a van for you and have a driver meet you upon your arrival. It is a 45 minutes drive to the condo. The cost of the van is $120 and if you want to stop at the supermarket, it is $140. The village starts about 300 yard down the beach where there is a 24 hour taxi stand to take you to local points of interest: the quaint fishing village at Sayulita, golf, zip line, horse back riding, etc., you can also rent a golf cart to go around the town. We personally like the convenience of renting a car and the costs are about the same. We have an inside garage with a remote for parking a regular car… a truck or van can be parked on the street…
Are you part of the Four Seasons/St. Regis property? (Inside the gate?)
No, we are less than ½ mile from the entrance to these properties. We are on the beach on the south side of the village of Punta de Mita
Maid Service
We provide 2 maid service cleanings per week, if you need more, the cost is $30/cleaning
Can I hire a cook?
Yes, the cost is $15/person plus cost of food
Restaurants
From the start of the village (about 300 yards down the beach) there are many restaurants from taco shops to high end. Most featuring local seafood
Cooking at the condo
We have a large, well-equipped kitchen. Also, there is a barbeque grill at the pool you can use and the staff will clean up after.
We like to walk to the start of the village where there is a small harbor and the fisherman will filet and sell you the local catch of the day. Buy some fresh made tortillas and make your own fish taco.
Medical and hospital needs
There is a small pharmacy at the start of the village with 2 doctors on staff
There is a brand new fully equipped hospital about 1/3 mile away with 24-hour emergency service and ambulances.

Thanks for the beautiful condo, gorgeous setting, and amazing staff
The condo is even more beautiful than the photos on the website! It was a perfect place for grandparents, parents, and two children ages 7 and 9. Paddleboards, boogie boards and kayaks were included for water sports. The pool and beach were ideal for the kids as well as the adults. Carlos, the building manager, was extremely helpful making arrangements for transportation and introducing us to the features of the condo and the town. He even found a wonderful cook to make dinner for us at the condo and we ate on the balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean. A short walk along the beach leads to the harbor of Punta de Mita with shops and restaurants featuring fresh local seafood and Mexican specialties. Our family, especially the children, loved seeing the presentation of the “catch of the day” carried by two waiters at Si Señor Restaurant. Everyone is asking to return next year!

Great Condo
What a great place! We were two families looking for a relaxing time, and this place was perfect for that. There was plenty of room in the unit to accommodate the group. We really enjoyed having the water toys (surf boards, boogie boards, kayaks) with the unit and not have to rent items. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home!
