We’ve been proud owners of five properties in Punta Mita over the past 15 years and currently own two properties including Casa Alegre, our beautiful four-bedroom villa, and our Four Seasons Residence Club condos (VRBO Listing #393019).
I’m recently retired, and thanks to Vrbo, I’ve become something of a part-time vacation rental host, unexpected, but deeply rewarding. We also share our home in Kiawah Island, South Carolina when we’re not there ourselves. Luckily, we’re supported by exceptional local property managers in each location, ensuring every guest is cared for with the same attention we’d expect for our own family.
Speaking of family, our three daughters (pictured above) have grown up loving Punta Mita. Years ago, we used to vacation in Maui—but once we discovered Punta Mita, we never looked back. For us, it’s friendlier, more welcoming, more affordable, and more beautiful than Hawaii. And living near Chicago, we appreciate the convenience of a direct four-hour flight that keeps us in the same time zone, no red-eyes required.
Barb and I typically spend around ten weeks a year here, while our daughters make it down for holidays, especially Thanksgiving. We’ve even perfected the art of making a full Thanksgiving feast in Mexico, cranberries and all!
Punta Mita is truly our happy place. I’m an avid golfer, tennis player and margarita enthusiast and there’s plenty of each to keep me smiling. We’ve built lifelong friendships with fellow homeowners here and look forward to reconnecting every winter.
If we had to choose just one place in the world to return to again and again, it would be Casa Alegre in Punta Mita.
