What a beautiful Casa. Our host Monica was very responsive before and during our stay. We were welcomed by chef Denise and her team very well. The food was outstanding, housekeeping was seamless and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Also, the casa was very well equipped both for enjoyment on site and with beach equipment such as chairs and umbrellas. Give it 10 out of 10!

Communication with the host was excellent, quick to respond and gave lots of information regarding things to do in the area. The three ladies that took care of us were wonderful and the food was delicious! We decided to give free rein to the cook (Denise) regarding what she made and she did not disappoint! She would check with us what meat or fish we wanted and then go from there. The location was great, just two short blocks to the beach and wagons to carry all the beach paraphernalia. Loved having the swimming pool when didn't feel like dealing with sand.

Fabulous Property and staff

There were seven adults and the house was perfect for our group. The property and grounds were spotless upon our arrival and stayed that way throughout our week long stay. Denise, Paulina and Mariana were wonderful. We found coffee brewing when we awoke and breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes, toast, etc. each morning. Our host, Monica, was in touch and accessible, offering recommendations and help and asking if we needed anything. The property is well located within blocks of the beach, the grocery store, and many great shops and restaurants. We will return to this property at our very next oppurunity.

Loved the upper patio in the morning for shade and ocean breeze. The pool area was great with a mix of Sun and shade. Easy access to the beautiful expansive beach.

Beautiful property!

Beautifully maintained property two blocks from the beach and close to shopping and restaurants! Jeff the property manager ensured that all our questions were answered. Frances kept the house spotless during her visits. She was also very careful to make sure we had our privacy which we appreciated. The view from the rooftop deck was gorgeous. We so appreciated Liana's communication and her attention to detail which made our 2018 Christmas in Bucerias incredibly memorable. Would highly recommend this property to families!

I enjoy helping our guests enjoy their vacation. There is nothing they should have to worry about, because your on VACATION. I'm always available to our guests for home questions, to recommendations on the area of beautiful Bucerias. We have put our minds to work on what is needed to enjoy a home while on vacation with family or friends. Being a host/owner is about making sure our guests feel comfortable, and to exceed their expectations of a great vacation. I also enjoy the friendships I have built with our return guests.

Why they chose this property

We loved this home because its so spacious for that family vacation or friends getaway. An entire private home, with a rooftop view and heated pool. It had been a rental for the past 8 years, and the reviews were all great ones, so we knew guests enjoyed the property to the fullest. We decided to add that special touch from a private cook, and private staff, then included that in all our guest stays.
