About this property
Casa Guacamole: Magical 5 BDRM Open-Air Hacienda with Million Dollar Ocean Views
*As featured on HGTV's House Hunters International: "Connecting in Puerto Vallarta", Season 104, Episode 3
Casa Guacamole now has fiber-optic internet!
Casa Guacamole is a very special property that sits on the hill above Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in the "Gringo Gulch" area of downtown Puerto Vallarta. A three level hacienda offering 180 degree views of Banderas Bay and the ocean from all 5 bedrooms, great room area, kitchen, dining area and pool. The 3rd floor has two bedrooms with ensuite baths. The 2nd floor includes master bedroom/bath and 2 other bedrooms - one bedroom has ensuite bath, the other has a large bathroom across the hall with double vanity and separate areas for shower and water closet. All bedrooms have large balconies and king size beds, with the middle bedroom on 2nd level (bedroom #2) and the southern bedroom on the third level (bedroom #5) having the option to split the king size beds into two twin beds. Main level has formal dining area for ten, media room, family room, kitchen, casual dining area for ten, full bath, pool, outdoor dining area for ten, and fountain - "open-air" concept so few walls to delineate the space. There is a nice breeze throughout the home, but all bedrooms have air conditioning. The pool area has a large built-in 8 burner grill, lounge chairs, dining table for ten, as well as a fountain and swing chair.
Two lovely women, Erika & Carolina, enhance your stay by coming six days a week to do housekeeping and provide complimentary breakfast cook service {excluding Sundays, holidays, and check out day}. They are also available to prepare lunch or dinner for a nominal charge. We highly recommend this service, as they are as talented in the kitchen as they are pleasant. Our concierge can arrange most anything you'd like at the casa: airport transportation; massages, facials, and pedicures; excursions.
Casa Guacamole's location offers stunning views, as well as close proximity to great restaurants, night life, shopping and only 5 blocks to the beach/Malecón. We are on the hillside, but an inexpensive cab ride can get you to the house if walking the incline is not your thing.
Please send a message with any questions that you have about the property or services that interest you. Once booked, we will email information about car service options, our favorite local restaurants, concierge contact information, pre-stocking the casa, menu, etc. Please let us know if you would like that information in advance.
We look forward to helping make your vacation to Puerto Vallarta the trip of a lifetime. Please see our website with same name.

This property is truly unique and amazing! The photos do not show all the great detail and history. Would absolutely stay there again! The roads are steep and narrow leading up to the property. But that is part of the charm of the neighborhood.
Casa Guacamole is without doubt the best VRBO I have ever rented! It’s so well designed with beautiful decor every time we turned around. We loved the ‘babies’ we saw thru out your home, channeling good luck and energy! The views were impeccable from every room. My family had an amazing few days there with 2 wonderful women who made sure everything was well taken care of. The only draw back would be getting there as most drivers were not familiar. But we made it happen! The walk down the hill was ok but going back up the steep hill was hard. I would still recommend it because the house itself was beyond excellent, very charming and quaint. I can’t say enough!!! Thank you for our stay!!!
It was a very special place. Carolina and Erica made it even better. Their attention to detail was fantastic. We wound up eating in most of the time because the food was unsurpassable in any restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.
Casa Guacamole was a beautiful location. The bedrooms, bathrooms and eating places were excellent. It was truly a pleasure to spend both day and night at the property. It was an excellent experience!
This is truly a stunning open air home. Each bedroom offers spectacular views of the ocean. The pool area was a great gathering place for the family during the day. The hit of the stay was definitely Erika & Carolina. They kept the place spotless and prepared better meals than anywhere else that we ate. We will be back.
The house is clean and beautiful. Carolina and Erika are exceptional.and their meals were delicious. We had a great stay at Casa Guacamole!

We truly enjoyed our vacation atCasa Guacamole. Meals prepared by Erica and Caroline very delicious. Information provided by Andrea accurate and detailed. Overall a great experience. We highly recommend the place!
We had such an amazing stay at Casa Guacamole! Such a beautiful home. The staff and owners were courteous and helpful and kept everything well stocked and clean. The rooms were big and very comfortable. It was an incredible experience; our group was already planning a return trip!
The owner stayed in contact throughout the entire stay and her staff and itinerary’s made available to us were extremely helpful. This was a memorable vacation and stay that my group and I will forever cherish. Definitely willing to return and staying at Casa Guacamole in the future. Beautiful, cultural, and amazing property!

Thank you! It is great to hear that you enjoyed Casa Guacamole. We are very lucky to have Erika & Carolina. They work very hard to pamper our guests and make the Casa Guacamole experience even more special. We'd love to have you back!
I thought the property was really great. There was plenty of room, and the views were amazing. The property manager, Alfredo, and the staff, Erika and Carolina were available at all times when we needed them. I would highly recommend this property for large groups who want a vacation inside a vacation.

I can't rave about this house, you will be so happy to book at this gorgeous property. our group was so happy with our stay. The rooms are gorgeous, the property is phenomenal. We loved being so close to everything. Yes the hike up the hill is a workout but well worth it
Do not think twice about booking here. We can't wait to go back

Gracias, Monica! I hope you had a perfect birthday in paradise!
It was BEAUTIFUL and we were a group of 10 friends and family that were able to celebrate birthdays and a surprise engagement. And we just fell in love with Erica and Carolina who are amazing cooks and so helpful with local information.
The whole over all experience was great. The staff was wonderful and they cooked great meals and kept everything tidy and clean for us and they were very pleasant and wonderful. I would definitely recommend other people to stay at Guacamole home. And I look forward to a return visit there .

This beautiful property left no details undone. From the communication of the owner Andrea, to the staff; Erica, Carolina, Fredrico, and Jorge we were always impressed.
Definitely would rate a 5 star!!!
Can’t wait to return.

Thank you, Stacey! Hope you can return for your 50th! And thank you for noticing the details :)
Pictures don’t do this property justice. Carolina and Erika were an amazing part of our vacation. Everything is a short Uber ride away, but once you arrive you won’t want to leave. Furniture is up to date and the amenities were better than expected. Hands down, the best VRBO experience.

Thank you for the great review. Hope you had a perfect birthday celebration in paradise at Casa Guacamole. We'd love to have you back for your next milestone (or any other time)!
The house is stunning! Great AC in each room. Indoor/outdoor areas were fabulous to hang out in. The breakfasts by Erika and Carolina were delicious. Amazing view from the pool deck area and each balcony. The only negative would be that the house is up a steep hill so may be hard for anyone disabled or difficulty walking.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful 5 star review! Our amazing views are made possible by that steep hill, so it is certainly a double-edged sword. That being said, Casa Guacamole is most likely not a good fit for those with mobility issues.
Our party of 10 can't speak highly enough about Casa Guacamole and everyone associated with the property. It is beautiful, tasteful, and authentic. The only caveat is the steepness of the cobblestone approach to the front door can be daunting for both drivers and pedestrians.

Thank you, Brenda! I hope your group can come back when your arm is 100%!
I would give 100 stars if I could! Don't hesitate to book this place. I never dreamed we would spend so much time in the pool just admiring the beautiful bay, and enjoying the house itself. The table you see in the pictures is set beautifully for every meal. Erika and Carolina are truly gems as people and stars as chefs. Every bedroom is comfortable with its own a/c control. Every bedroom has a private outdoor area. All but one bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. There are STEPS! Stairs up to the house and steps up to the bedrooms. Be mindful, that's all. Don't put your most senior citizens in the top floor penthouses! So blessed that we found this place and thrilled at the good time we all had. Thanks for all of the staff who made this a great experience.
We spent a week at Casa Guac and like all the other reviews have stated, this place does not disappoint! From the amazing views to the fabulous pool, we enjoyed every moment we spent at CG. I can't say enough good things about Erika and Carolina as well—they were super sweet and made our stay just that much more special. Andrea has done such an amazing job with the decor—there is something wonderful to look at no matter where you turn. The rooms were spacious, the beds were heavenly and every bathroom is completely amazing! It was a dream vacation and we hope to return soon!

If I could give this gorgeous property more stars, I would. The pictures don’t do it justice. I came with my 6 girlfriends to celebrate our birthdays and we loved every minute. The views from every room are breathtaking and the service from the staff was incredible. The owner was super responsive to every single (sometimes annoying) question asked. This was by far the best Vrbo experience I’ve ever had. We will be coming back!

Thank you for such a positive review! It took some time to reschedule your original 2020 (Covid) trip, but I am so happy to hear that it was it was worth the wait. We hope that you can return soon!
About the host
Hosted by Sophie Moran
We live in the midwest and travel to Puerto Vallarta as often as our schedules allow. We love the history and authentic nature of the town, and appreciate that it is not a planned resort community. After staying at resorts a number of times, we realized that we were always leaving the all-inclusive amenities to find local restaurants, and so we started staying "in town" instead. This "switch" enhanced our time in Puerto Vallarta tremendously.
Why they chose this property
Casa Guacamole boasts 5 bedrooms, all with tip to tip views of Banderas Bay. One can walk or take a short, inexpensive cab ride to all of the unique restaurants, shops and bars that Puerto Vallarta offers. It is a truly magical hacienda style home which are becoming quite rare in the downtown area. The beach and Malecón are 5 blocks down the hill. It is nestled in a residential part of downtown among homes owned both by locals and expats. The pool area is large and gets sun, but the outdoor dining area is shaded.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with Casa Guacamole because of the amazing views, downtown location, and its authentic architecture. We appreciate the open-air floor plan and gracious use of space. It reminds us of an elegant tree house. The kitchen is open to the pool and has amazing views - what a great way to cook!
