Puerto Vallarta Rentals

August 1-15 2009 Plaza Mar condo 505 www.puerto-vallarta-rentals.com/plazamar505/ As you predicted before we left, we loved Puerto Vallarta (we were there Aug. 1-15, 2009). Not surprisingly, it was hot. But, being right on the beach, there was a very nice breeze almost all the time. Most nights, we slept with the doors open and just the ceiling fan (the kids had the AC on in the back bedroom where the air circulation is not as good). Especially up at the pool on the roof the breeze was delightful. Even on the hottest days, there was enough air moving that you felt pretty comfortable. Some times, as the sun started to go down, the breeze was almost chilly. Almost. The condo is great – my wife recommends that you get a toaster oven and a broom and dustpan (she likes to clean before the maid comes. Go figure.) The front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful. The view is spectacular and the location is perfect – close to all sorts of things. We stumbled upon a restaurant/bar that we really like, Asaderos, on Basilio Badillo, which is owned by American expats and frequented by Canadian and American retirees (we went to be with locals, but this was a very friendly place). The prime attraction is that they have a Cribbage tournament every Tuesday, which was a lot of fun. The food was also good. Le Kliff is an excellent restaurant with an amazing view. La Palapa is also spectacular at sunset. Daiquiri Dick’s is also very good, although sitting on the terrace at sunset can be extremely hot. We also found a number of excellent local places, including Benny’s (great fish tacos and a very friendly parrot) on Francisco Madero, I think, and an excellent taqueria also on Madero and a block east of Benny’s (I think). La Piazzetta on Los Arcos is also very nice, good pizza, and fairly reasonable. There is so much to do – we took a horseback ride at Rancho Palma Real, which was great fun (and there’s a terrific waterfall for cooling off mid-ride). Near the end of our stay we went back to the ranch for their Mexican fiesta, which was also a lot of fun – great music and dancing, good food, and an open bar. We took a Canopy tour at Canopy Chicos, which was a lot of fun and sailed out to the Islas Marietas, just off Punta Mita, for a day of snorkeling (and another open bar on the boat ride back). We took banana boat rides on the beach and went para-sailing and generally had a great time. The beach is beautiful and the people are very friendly. The kids loved the potato chips (10 pesos) from the vendors on the beach; the mangos and pineapples were delicious, and I really enjoyed the huge plate of oysters, which I think was 100 pesos. It was hard to beat. We had lots of days where we didn’t have major activities, but enjoyed the pool and playing cards and just relaxing. All in all, it was a great trip and while we did a lot, there’s so much more to do and see and we would definitely love to go back. Plaza Mar is great – we rarely saw anyone else (I know it’s low season) but there were several other apartments, including on our floor, that were occupied. You have a very nice feeling of privacy, even though you’re just steps from all the action. I have already recommended Puerto Vallarta to a number of friends, and will definitely tell anyone who is planning to go to contact you about renting a condo. 6/5/09 Traveled to Puerto Vallarta 4-25-09 to 5-02-09 and stayed in Condo 204 at Plaza Mar. This is the best vacation we have had in a long time. This condo was so spacious and the wrap around balcony was great. Had alot of fun watching everyone walking below us on the way to restaurants and shopping and got to know the waiters real well at the restaurant across from us. This was the best of both worlds in condo 204. Hearing the ocean waves at nite with all the balcony doors open sure helped a person to relax and sleep and wake up so rested. Some reviews I have read say that you could smell the food being cooked in the restaurant below but that was not the case at all. I am sure we will be booking this condo again real soon. The only downer about the trip was that the swine flu hit while we were there and the whole town shut down at 11pm so we could not really get our party on but other than that it was great. Thanks Jeff for everything it was the best place to stay in all the times we have been to PV. I will never ever stay in a hotel again when you have the best condos in all of PV. Everyone should give Jeff a call you won't be sorry!!!!!!! 6/8/9 Just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know that the condo and location were superb. Everybody in my party had a really good time and we are already planning a return trip back to Puerto Vallarta. The pictures on your website of condo 303 did not do it justice, it was a very big space for the four of us, the rooftop was amazing and the staff at the front desk were very courteous. It was very difficult to return to the working world after sitting on the patio all week long! Thanks Again, Kevin Winstead 3/15/09 My wife, myself, son-in-law and daughter stayed at the Loma Del Mar Condominums in Puerto Vallarta for 11 days Feb 22,2009. We rented from Jeff Musto at www.puerto-vallarta-rentals.com . Jeff offered a better than quality rental at a very reasonable price. The rental experience with him is very positive and I would highly recommend his website for future rentals. The Loma Del Mar A-22 is an A+ quality condo. The grounds are well kept, the swimming pool is excellent, with plenty of sun. You are two blocks, down hill from the beach and some of the best restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. The climb to the condo from the beach will get you in shape but isn't that bad. If you are handicapped I wouldn't advise it. You are close to a major grocery store, Rizo's , liquor store, the La Playa and the beginning of the Malecon is just a short 5 blocks away. The condo was excellent. Everything you need for a pleasant vacation. You could cook in or eat out. Maid service was offered twice while we were there which was plenty. A washer and dryer are in the condo and iron and ironing board if need be. I highly recommend Jeff Musto and his vacation properties in Puerto Vallarta. Guy Hawks 1-5-09 I recently rented a condo in Puerto Vallarta from Jeff Musto. I'm writing to let everyone know that every aspect of the experience was excellent. The pre-trip arrangements were professional, and prompt. The actual condo was even better than the descriptions and photos on the web. When we arrived our keys were given to us by the folks at the front desk, in a managed and secure building. In short, an excellent vacation, an excellent value, professionally handled. I have recommended his properties in the past, and look forward to renting from him next time we are in Puerto Vallarta. Nik Valcic. San Francisco, CA
