DEAR GUESTS, Regarding the well publicized incident in Puerto Vallarta in March, I wanted to address any concerns prospective guests may have, my note follows. *Last week, at the end of March, as the owner of Casa Montaña, I was at our villa in Puerto Vallarta and as I expected, the town was back to it's normal funloving self. The Cartel problem did not involve tourists or locals. It was a one day event which ended quickly. No one was hurt or injured. Visitors are never threatened. In my 20 years of being in Vallarta, often alone, I have never encountered any problem whatsoever. Puerto Vallarta is a safe town. If you ask any local, you will be told precisely the same thing. It didn't help that the media along with the fake AI images completely distorted the situation. For someoneone outside of Vallarta, it did appear worrisome. Understandably, we have had some cancellations, consequently, we have lowered our nightly rates for the spring and summer months. In addition, with a 5 night booking, we are offering a 6th night free.

All good. Great staff, especially Maria the chef. Good communication with host. Beautiful home with excellent beds and all the things that make you comfortable.
The most amazing villa ever. The second we walked in we never wanted to leave. So comfy and spacious! Maria was amazing and made us excellent breakfast daily. We were able to arrange excursions easily. The view from all the patios was sensational.The walk to the beach or zone romantica is steep and a little treacherous with blind turns and speeding cars but Ubers and taxis are very affordable and easy to get!
Wonderful place to stay for 2 couples or a small family. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms that are identical, and beautiful, as well as private balconies. The primary has a very large seating area with nice views, the secondary bedroom has the best cure in the house. The pool is well maintained, clean, and the perfect temp, they also provide pfd’s to use. Maria was kind and prepared fresh coffee and a light breakfast every day. She cleaned up our messes from the day before, and was just a delight to be around. I would definitely say here again!We did try to go to the bar/ restaurant across the street, it looked like it has one of the best bite of the sunset in all of PV, but they didn’t have a server at the time we went. Go here, you will love the Mexican charm of this Casa!
What a beautiful villa! Location is perfect, nicer area of PV, but less than 10min to all the action. Absolutely loved it, we will be back for sure! Maria and Moises are awesome too! We felt very pampered. I’d suggest renting a car, much better experience getting to see more of PV on your own time and schedule. No issues with driving anywhere in PV. Thanks guys for a very memorable 25th anniversary! Maria made us a special dinner and decorated the house….very affordable service!
Nikole, as you know i responded to you with a personal message. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Please come see us again.

This was a hidden gem in Puerto Vallarta. My wife and i have been to Puerto Vallarta numerous times and have stayed at different Hotels and Condos but for us this was the best of the best. Maria the housekeeper/chef was awesome and treated us so well she felt like family. We will definitely stay here again.
This was our fourth visit to this dream villa and we loved it even more than before! The private pool, ocean views, quiet neighbourhood and proximity to the old town make this a perfect destination. Sandy and her team made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. We really enjoy coming here and will continue to do so when we come to Puerto Vallarta!
Loved this beautiful property. Manager was attentive and Maria’s cooking was spectacular !
Views were amazing with a charming neighborhood. We will be back !
Our stay at Casa Montaña was fabulous! The place is immaculate and beautiful. Maria was amazing - so welcoming, helpful and her breakfasts - delicious! The neighborhood is quiet and the pool is refreshing. We tried lots of Sandy’s restaurant recos and liked them all. Overall a fantastic stay.
Sandy and her staff were so friendly and amazing. The property itself was magical and warm and inviting, and had all the amenities one could need. There was a restaurant across the street for convenience. My family and I can't wait to come back!!
Beautiful villa accurately described- lovely outside areas
Nice neighborhood ( at times a little noisy) good access to downtown restaurants, communication with Housekeeper could be a challenge but Google translator helped!
We had an amazing vacation in this gorgeous villa recently. The place is beautifully decorated; the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable; the private pool and patio areas are fantastic; and Maria's cooking is out of this world. Frankly, we stopped going out to eat, as nothing could compare to Maria's dinners! All around fantastic experience!

Jonathan and Molly,
WE loved having you stay with us, you are the best guests we could hope for. Think about coming back for a longer visit in the near future. Maria would love it!
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us.
The home has a great layout and the pool was perfect. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to walk to town. The short way is closed due to construction. Thank you for sharing your home with us Sandy. Great service with the management company.
It was one of the most relaxing times we had in a long time. The house and service were magnificent. The process from the beginning was smooth and easy. No drama or surprises. keep it up and we will definitely come back for more. Thank you.

Thank you, Armando. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay and found it to be relaxing.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa! Very nicely furnished. Maid & grounds keepers are very nice & unobtrusive. Maid comes about 9 which for us is a little early, but she only comes every other day so we could sleep in the other days. View is beautiful..fyi, there is a big radio tower across the street which is the only thing not pretty about the view but that is not the owners fault. Very relaxing getaway. We will stay here again.

Beautiful home in Conchas Chinas
Great stay in this beautiful home. Kitchen was very functional. The property was as beautiful in person as it was online. I do not recommend booking transport and shopping through the property manager. I was charged more than quoted for the ride+grocery stop. Other than that, a great place. Easy to get a cab at the hotel across the street.

David,
I'm sorry that there was a problem with the transportaion. There may have been a misunderstanding on the driver's part. I'm not certain that driver understood how things ususally work with shopping, etc. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. You were terrific guests.
The house was just as advertised and the staff was super helpful. The fridge was out of commission the whole time but Alex and Chef Maria brought a cooler and ice. Chef Maria’s food was absolutely amazing! Next time we go to PV we will try to get her again! Decent location but not really walking distance anywhere but Patio Azul restaurant behind the house. Most all cab drivers know the place by name so it was easy to get home and Uber wits down there.

Nice place with a significant shortfall
The property was ok except no railings on the stairs. I fell about halfway down. Sprained knee we had to move to a Hotel with no stairs. The cook Marie was wonderful

This is a tardy response. I am so sorry that you had the fall. I want you to know that we installed a sturdy handrail all the way to the bottom of the stairs. Thank you for letting me know about your accident.
Very nice property, easy access to all locations as long as you have the Uber app which made it very easy to get around. Only problem was water pump at house went out and didn’t have water for 24hrs so no toilets or shower our last full day there. But other than that great time at the beaches, restaurants and shops. Would do it again.

Michael, so sorry that you had that inconvenience. There are times when something
occurs that we have no control over. In Mexico,
life is not as predictable as it is in the U.S. I regret that happened while you were staying with us.
This is a great comfortable property for 4 people, with a friendly staff that keeps the place running (and come to the house very often!). Conchas Chinas gives you a more residential feel but be ready to uber/drive a lot to the city, as walking there means walking on the highway. As noted in another review, there's ongoing construction across the street so there's a lot of noise and dust (plus an eyesore). The ocean views are also spoiled by a gigantic antenna across the street - which the photos conveniently don't show. If you go, make sure you visit the Patio Azul bar across the street, they have terrific views.

Federico,
Many of our guests walk into town along the beach path. Perhaps you didn't know that it's only a 20 minute walk into town. I would not recommend walking on the highway at all. It's
actually very convenient to catch a taxi as they
park in front of a small hotel across the street and as you know, it takes 5 minutes to drive into town. We have had a sudden and quick spurt of construction at the house behind us. I am so sorry that was going on while you guests were staying here. The construction is over now but it is something we cannot predict or control.
There is a tower, however, our views are still phenomenal. There is an ocean view out of every window and patio in the villa. Many of our guests return year after year. We are fortunate to have grown a loyal following of clients who have become friends, and that is immensely rewarding for us.
Amazing stay at Casa las Montañas. The house is adorable. Very comfortable and private. Great for two couples or a family visiting. Mary, the housekeeper is lovely. Usually there in the mornings. She’s able to make breakfasts and dinners if you arrange in advance. She also made us some delicious frozen margaritas. The house is a bit of a walk into PV. Doable, but definitely not super close. Much easier on the downhill. We alternated between walking and Ubers/taxis without any problem. The house is right across from Ocho Cascadas, which made it easy to direct taxis. Beds were super comfy with loads of pillow options. Bedrooms huge and comfortable. Really delightful. The only hiccup was that our initial food order didn’t get in, but Mary got us set up in no time.

About the host
Hosted by Sandy Gelt
Mexico has always been such a special place for us. We bought this villa as a vacation home in Puerto Vallarta because it has both the beach and the jungle. Our family loves the charm of Mexico, the warmth of the people and the lively colorful culture. Living in Denver, Colorado we have found it to be a quick, easy flight to P.V. Much of the time it's possible to find non-stop flights which allow door to door in under 4 hours.
Why they chose this property
When we open the front door to the villa, the immediate feeling is one of, ahhhhh, this is just what I needed! The house is so inviting, tropical with lots of plants, ocean views and your own private pool. You can see the large terrace and pool from the front door. You just know this place is going to be relaxing and luxurious. Not in a fancy way but in a comforting, satisfying way. The large terrace and pool was one of the main attractions that drew us to this villa. That, and the open airy feeling of the house where ocean views are visible through almost every window. We never saw another house or condo quite like this when we were looking at homes and condos to buy. Truthfully, the moment we opened the door, we knew this was the one. The house needed quite a bit of updating and cosmetic help, but that was a fun and interesting learning experience, remodeling a home in Mexico. It was an exciting, sometimes nerve wracking, accomplishment.
What makes this property unique
When we are in Colorado, It is an incredible treat to think about our tropical home waiting for us in Mexico. It is always in the back of our minds, where thoughts keep popping up, how soon can I get back to Puerto Vallarta? Owning a home in a different country is fun and challenging. We really enjoy the difference in cultures and language. Puerto Vallarta is an international town, which offers the ability to meet people from all over the world. We welcome the diversity and differences of the people who live there and visit. In Mexico, we are treated with kindness and always feel welcome. Unlike some areas in Mexico, we are blessed to feel safe in Puerto Vallarta. In all of the years going to PV, we have enjoyed the freedom to go where ever we wanted, without the slightest hint of a safety concern. We are completely comfortable there.
