About this property

Wake up in Beachfront PARADISE! 2 Bed, 2 Bath Condo. Scenic, Safe and Secluded!

You’ll love our condo with elegant furnishings and décor. We are located on the north side of the bay, just off the highway, by Punta Esmeralda. Being right on the beach with 10th floor direct western exposure provides million dollar ocean views with sunrise and sunsets over Banderas Bay. This is our private getaway, yet 3 minutes from 100 + restaurants in Bucerias. Shopping, nightlife, and all activities are just minutes away. At Barlovento we have 2 pools, the beach and an exercise room. Our condo has 3 flat screen TVs with Satellite service, DVD player, free WIFI, a 25' terrace with BBQ grill, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, full size laundry in the condo, and everything set up for full time living. Quality bedding and linens are provided. The unit is tastefully decorated with local art and comfortable furnishings. The dining room has a beautiful full sized white onyx table with 6 chairs and the living room has an extensive pit group that includes recliners, a chaise lounge and a sofa bed. There is a king bed in the master and two twins in the second bedroom which can be slid together to produce another king bed. Walk the beach for 20 minutes to Bucerias beachfront restaurants. We have gated, with 24 hour security, underground parking with 2 spaces for cars. We are 35 minutes from Puerto Vallarta airport on the main highway. It is private, but convenient, with Bus and Taxi service just outside the door.

BARLOVENTO is a newer 38 unit beachfront condominium property. It is a private getaway but just 3 minutes north, by car or taxi, from the wonderful village of Bucerias with its authentic Mexican charm, over 100 restaurants (many right on the beach), local treasure hunt shopping, art galleries and friendly people. About ten minutes south is Nuevo Vallarta, where you have entertainment, excitement, water park, swimming with dolphins, fantastic excursions and shopping. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is just 35 minutes further south, with all its historic old world setting and activities. 5 minutes to the north is La Cruz and then luxurious Punta Mita, and about 30 minutes north of us are the quaint surfing villages of Sayulita & San Pancho.

This is a BEACHFRONT property on beautiful Banderas Bay with million dollar views of the Pacific Ocean. Banderas Bay has over 100 km of coastline and beaches surrounded by the majestic Sierra Madres mountains. This is the birthing place for the HUMPBACK WHALES and the year-round home to thousands of dolphins. Have you ever wondered where the whales all go when they head south for the winter? They are right here, in Banderas Bay! Whale-watching tours are available during the months of November through March.

Start your morning with an invigorating 40-minute beach walk to the Bucerias' beachfront restaurants for breakfast, have a professional massage on the beach for about before walking back or taking a 3-minute taxi ride home. Or you could stay and spend the day shopping at the outdoor markets, stroll across the Kissing Bridge, and explore the Gold Coast restaurants on the other side. Stay and dine on the beach, or go watch a hockey or football game at YoYo Mo's and enjoy their AMAZING pizza! Go hear live classic rock music at Jax's, then get a churro from one of the outdoor vendors before heading back home to your place! On Wednesday nights, our local beach bar "Sukha's" features local live bands, and is just a short 5-10 walk from our condo. You can also take quick cab rides almost everywhere.

RECREATION – When you want a break from relaxing and soaking up the sun at Barlovento’s pools and beach, there is much to choose from. Well known Vallarta Adventures has something for everyone – check their website for unforgettable experiences. You can take a boat ride to a remote mountain spot in the bay and ride mules up into the mountains, then zip line over the jungle, repel down a 100 foot waterfall to swim in its cool waters below, then zip line and waterslide your way down the mountain to the boat. There is also first-class water park with a lazy river nearby. For fishing, Banderas Bay has Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna and Mahi Mahi and is home to International Tournaments. Fishing here is fantastic. Horseback riding on the beach or in the mountains or four-wheeling adventures are great fun-filled days.

WATER SPORTS – Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, kayaking, jet skis, sailing, parasailing are all right there for you.
GOLF courses abound in the area with courses in all ranges from Jack Nicklaus to simple public courses.
DINING- You could stay 6 months at our condo eating at great restaurants every day and never go to any of them twice, but you’ll find yourself going back to your favorites where they come to know you. Enjoy fresh fish and shrimp daily right from the bay at the restaurants, or cook your own fresh fish on our grill, from the La CRUZ Seafood Market, which is at the water’s edge and only 5 minutes from our condo. Watch the fishermen bring in their catch and choose your dinner right there, at ridiculously low prices. They will fillet it in front of you!
SHOPPING - Supermarkets - Mega, La Comer, Chedraui, and Walmart are the main stores. Chedrai is our favorite, because the cash machines are inside the building, and the store has great values on most household items, not just groceries. The cab ride to Chedraui is about 5 minutes from our condo. Once you have completed shopping and stocking up, just take your cart outside and there is always a cab driver waiting to give provide a ride home. Always ask "how much" first, before entering any cab. It's typically about 120 PESOS each way, depending on the time of year. There is also a Costco is in Puerto Vallarta. Plan to earmark about 800-1000 pesos for a cab ride to the airport, from our place.

RELAX - Anything you could want on your Mexican vacation is minutes away, yet you can rest, get away from it all and enjoy your privacy, at Barlovento. Meet the wonderful people from Canada, USA and Mexico, who will be at our beachfront pool. It is not a big resort, so you meet and get to know your neighbors, whether they are full-time residents or vacationers like yourselves. We have made many friends during our stays at Barlovento. Enjoy the beach, free of beach vendors to interrupt your leisure.

CONVENIENCE – shopping, dining, clubs, nightlife, city life and limitless recreation are minutes away from your tranquil retreat.
SAFETY – Puerto Vallarta’s big welcome sign says “Friendliest City in the World." It is very safe here and the locals are kind and very friendly.
HEALTH – The area has good food, pure water and first-class hospitals and medical services. Big Jug Bottled water is available in blue jugs in the garage area, for a minimal amount of money (50 pesos, as of February 2024).
Additional maid service can be arranged during your stay for an extra charge.
COMMUNITY WORKOUT ROOM- As of last spring 2023, we have air conditioning in the LOWER POOL LEVEL GYM!

This is not a loud, all-inclusive, resort-style kind of place. Here is where you put your towel on a lounge chair and look up at the clouds in the sky, your mind escapes the stresses of life as the sound of ocean waves washes your cares away. Come and relax here! It's where WE GO! We hope you love it as much as we do!

Hot and humid November 2023
We found the hosts of this property very committed to ensuring we had an enjoyable stay. We had a few issues that Suzanne did her absolute best to try to resolve. The unit is quite nice, good sized bedrooms and living area. Kitchen is a little small but manageable and modestly equipped. A couple of things to be aware of: We did NOT have a vehicle with us so we relied on public transit, taxis and some walking. However, this is not a pedestrian friendly location. The building is right off busy highway so walking there is very uncomfortable. Walking the beach is manageable, however it is quite rocky, and you can only walk it at low tide. Second, the road noise from the highway is significant and non stop. The building complex has two beautiful pools which we thoroughly enjoyed. The support staff in the building are very helpful as are the neighbors.

Lovely condo-all amenities needed and nicely appointed and equipped. Only negative is highway noise from behind building that is very noticeable by entrance/kitchen area and in second bedroom, as well as out on front while sitting on veranda. Otherwise we do recommend this unit.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Strickland and Lawrence Wolf

Host profile image
We are from Edgewood, Wa. My husband plays golf and loves it here! The best part of being a host is the feeling when people tell you they made memories!

Why they chose this property

Barlovento is a small boutique resort without the loud music and various activities of larger, hotel-style resorts. It is private, yet only a couple of minutes from stores and restaurants. It is relaxing and very safe. We have a lap pool and a main family pool, with in-water lounges and the beach just steps away. We have two parking spaces in the underground secured parking garage. Bucerias is a 2-minute drive or cab ride, with over 100 restaurants. We often walk to Bucerias on the beach and enjoy their well-known beachfront restaurants. La Cruz is also a 5-minute drive in north of us, where you can find more restaurants, a modern marina if you are a boater, and the La Cruz fresh seafood market. You can buy all kinds of fresh seafood, unloaded from the small fishing boats.

Shopping is also very convenient with Mega, La Comer, Chedraui, Super Walmart and Sam's Club just a few minutes away. We are conveniently located about 40 minutes north of the airport.
Nuevo Vallarta is a 20-minute drive, just past Bucerias, where you will find resorts, more restaurants of every kind, a water park, and plenty of nightlife. Continuing south another 15 minutes, is Puerto Vallarta.

Of course, Bandaras Bay is where the whales and dolphins go in the winter months to give birth. There are many whale-watching tours. We have even spotted whales from our deck!

What makes this property unique

Views, Views, and more views of beautiful Bandaras Bay. Our terrace allows panoramic views of the sunrises, sunsets, the ocean and the mountains. This is a small complex, with two towers, six floors per tower, and only four units per floor. With two elevators per building, this means that you never have to wait more than a few seconds for an elevator, and you are only moments away from experiencing the beach! Also, know that the surrounding condo buildings, The Narvals, do not have access to our pools, so there is never any waiting for a lounge chair, ever! Also, this means that the pools are never crowded! The flip side of this is that your Narval neighbors to the north have a pool restaurant and they welcome us as patrons! Just walk around the street side and tell them you are at the Barlovento!
