About this property

⭐Elegant Small Hillside Villa, Ocean Views & Private Pool with Terrace

Casa Montaña is jewel-box style home, a private villa, overlooking Banderas Bay. It features a luxurious master suite and patio perfect for sunset viewing, slightly smaller guest suite and patio and an incredibly inviting private pool surrounded by tropical flowers. Its quiet location in the exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood, near Old Town Vallarta , makes it a perfect honeymoon haven or vacation getaway for up to 4 adults. The villa is tucked into a lush, tropical hillside. You'll awaken to birdsong and butterflies dancing through the flowers. Later in the day, viewing a stunning sunset on the patio while sipping a margarita or a glass of wine could easily become your favorite pastime. ***On this site, I want to offer some help in looking for available dates for your stay. When you select the dates that you want to stay on our calendar, if the dates don't correspond perfectly, it can appear that we are full, when we are not. You will need go to the calendar page, scroll down all the way to the bottom and then you will be able to see what the availability truly is. I wanted to share this information with you in the beginning of the listing so you don't give up on us. We have a minimum number of days that we require for each booking, in each season. Sometimes available dates are less than the minimum number asked, in which case a booking is fine. We ask for a 5 day minimum booking, we may only have 3 days available so those 3 days are open to book. Pardon the interruption and please continue reading about our villa......... The villa is professionally & meticulously decorated in sophisticated Old Mexico style, and equipped with modern amenities and housekeeping. Keeping in mind that many of us are now working outside of our offices, we offer excellent wi-fi throughout the villa. Casa Montaña graciously integrates indoor & outdoor living. Three sets of French doors open from the living room to embrace the large terrace and the inviting azure water of the pool. This private haven is a short stroll to the Conchas Chinas white-sand beach and an easy walk or taxi ride into Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone, also known as Old Town. With its picturesque gardens, cobblestone streets, galleries, shopping, restaurants, nightlife and music, Puerto Vallarta is a great walking town. The villa is managed by Admin Homes of Puerto Vallarta, they ensure the pool, grounds and all other physical aspects of the villa are well maintained. Additionally, the Admin Homes staff is available on site to help our guests, should anything come up that requires some assistance. Maria is our new chef and housekeeper. After many years of amazing service, our wonderful Flor has retired. We appreciate the many years she devoted to us. Our primary goal remains the same, taking care of our guests and allowing them to relax in an environment that is lovely, peaceful and restorative. Not only does Maria see that you enjoy fresh linens and daily bathroom tending, she will also prepare her delicious culinary specialties upon request with a little advance notice. Maria and our staff respond as quickly as possible to address our guests' questions or concerns. Maria is a talented chef --
if you wish, she can prepare a full breakfast of huevos rancheros, pancakes, omelettes or whatever you desire. A small charge per person is required for her to prepare the meals and guests are asked to purchase the food that they would like to have prepared. A continental breakfast can be prepared for $4 per guest. Other options are: a per person charge for the following meals; full breakfast $8, lunch is $10 and dinner is $15.

Maria's cooking specialties as well as cookbooks are available to help in menu planning. She is flexible and truly enjoys making sure our guests are pleased and content. Since Maria's arrival, she is receiving rave reviews from everyone that has stayed with us.

**** Our new Cancellation Policy -- due to Covid-19 or for any other reason. In the event the virus makes travel unsafe and/or a guest chooses to cancel their booking, we will refund the deposit for the full amount, provided it is 60 days or more in advance of the arrival date. If cancellation takes place inside of the 60 day requirement but not less than 30 days, the guest is refunded 70% of their deposit.
Please ask Sandy if you have questions regarding the cancellation policy.

Fantastic Vacation at Casa Montaña
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!

Great Homebase for a Stay in PV
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Montaña. We normally stay in Zona Romantica, but wanted to try out having a whole house to ourselves instead of just a condo, but were a little worried about being a bit outside the main town in Conchas Chinas (esp. with our friend who is mobility-challenged). While the walk into town was not do-able for our friend, we had no issues with grabbing an Uber or a taxi (most of the time there was a taxi outside the Ochos Cascadas hotel next door). Fares into or from old town were usually 50~60 pesos and took about 5mins. As for the casa, it was just what we were hoping for and expecting. Well designed and decorated, with lots of space for 4 adults. Everything was very clean, and we received housekeeping services from the very friendly Maria every other day. We didn't have an opportunity to have Maria prepare a meal for us, but based on her welcome gift of homemade salsa and guacamole, I am sure one would not be disappointed. We really enjoyed all the different spaces we could hang out and relax, from the main pool area to the large living room and (my favourite) the balcony off the primary bedroom. You could have sun or shade any time of the day as you desired. The on-site support from Rigo and David at Admin Homes was great, from check-in to quickly taking care of any small questions/issues during our stay (eg connecting to WiFi, arranging transfer back to the airport, etc.). Overall, a great place to stay in PV!

Excellent property, but a bit of bad luck for us
This is a great property in all respects. Our bad luck was that a building across the street is under renovation, so we had loud noise- grinding, sawing, pounding, etc. throughout our stay. Part of the crew is living in the building while working, so not much let up in noise at any time.

Wonderful stay!
Casa Montaña is comfortable and spacious and kept so clean by Maria and the gardener and pool cleaner. Maria is a warm generous person and goes above and beyond to make delicious meals. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy. The Casa is located a short distance from the centre of the city in a very hilly area so walking to tow isn’t easy but Uber arrives within minutes and costs $4-5

Fantastic Villa in a Charming Neighborhood
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!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Gelt

Host profile image
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.
