The villa was beautiful and exactly as described. Our group of 10 arrived at different times and Pepe and Jovana were ready. Dinner and snacks were great! We weren't prepared to eat at the villa every day but we did. The food was so delicious that we had breakfast and dinner each day (tamaleswere a big hit). Jovana prepared fish (ceviche and grilled) we caught and Pepe made us fabulous margaritas. We used the pool daily, enjoyed watching whales and rays from the balconies. A wonderful experience. Loved it!
The Villa was beautiful. We slept with the glass doors open and listened to the sounds of the ocean. There was no need for the air conditioner at all. The only thing we disliked was that the one tv in the common are was only 32 inches. Very difficult for 8 of us to watch a movie on. However, I accidently knocked the tv over but I went Walmart and purchased a 50 inch as a replacement. The staff was attentive and accommodating. Pepe was our everything - bartender, coordinator, translator, Everything!Angeles was great as well. She is an excellent cook with a beautiful smile and personality.I'm sorry that I dont remember the housekeepers name, but she was nice as well. She kept the place very clean.
The house was as expected. It’s very beautiful and you can see so much sea life from the patios. We saw whales, manta rays and dolphins almost every day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was great and all the beds were very comfortable. When we are staying there my twins celebrated their fifth birthday and the staff put together a little party. It was very cute and sweet. I will say the house is lacking some maintenance. There’s some missing tile and holes in screens and things like that. We also damaged a terra-cotta pot while we were there And replaced it. The owners of the house did not like our choice and made us return it and purchase something much larger and most likely more expensive than the original item. It was annoying but in the end worked out.
The villa is lovely and is right above the Pacific with waves crashing on the boulders beneath the house. The staff at the house is wonderful! They are very accommodating and easy to work with. All of the bedrooms are comfortable and have an ocean view. We enjoyed our stay.
Great location and very private. The chef, houseman & housekeeping was 5 star. Each room has an ocean view along with a very large living / dinning room with excellent views of sunsets and oceans coast.
The villa is really a unique property and a great place to vacation. The staff pamper and take wonderful care of you. The views are out of this world and we watched whales everyday. It was fun to be a little outside Puerto Vallarta, but close enough to go in for the day too.
The home and staff were amazing! The food was top tier the whole stay! Only feed back is, it’s a far ways from la zona romantica/ El Malecon. It’s hard to catch Ubers and taxis because of the remote location.

Just Perfect
The staff, views, service and the villa was perfect. The staff was so accommodating and the meals where just delicious. The villa was very clean and the views where just breathtaking Full oceans from every room of the villa. It was very quiet other than the sound of the ocean. We just loved it...looking forward to returning soon.
The pictures do not do it justice and the staff is among the best we have met in our travels!
Fantastic time, excellent food, so clean and beautiful decor and location.
The pool is great though the pool area could be upgraded slightly with more shade and a bit of tlc etc.
What a great stay! Best local resto: Tony's Hideaway. And the beach ones during the day. Worth a visit.
Many, many thanks.
Our stay at Casa Nautilus was beyond amazing! The listing is as it appears in the photos... just beautiful! The villa is very clean and spacious, and the staff took care of our every need. The meals prepared by the chef were delicious and Abel kept us supplied with food and drinks, made recommendations for restaurants and also arranged transportation when needed. We also utilized the in-house spa services, which were awesome! I can't say enough about this place or the staff...it was truly beyond b our expectations. I would absolutely stay here again!
All I can say about this property is wow! The house is beautiful and charming and the fact that every bedroom and the main living room have amazing views of the ocean made it even better. The staff was so kind and accommodating, I do not have enough good things to say about them! Every meal was extremely delicious and Abel’s margaritas are the best I have had. I cannot recommend this property enough!

Christmas in Mismaloya
The staff was wonderful. The meals were fantastic with nice presentation. Everyone was very accommodating to our needs. Casa Nautilus is a beautiful home and an architectural marvel. However, the structure is showing it's age.Begining to take on a worn look with several items in need of renovation.
The property description and the other reviews were all very representative of the property. We had 4 great nights. The staff included Brandon, Ramon, and Maria whom were all really, really great. Our taxis struggled with the driveway, but we managed.
We stayed 4 nights with our four adult children and friends. The house is fabulous. It is very special and unique. Each bedroom has lots of room, it’s own bathroom and a balcony with a spectacular view. The staff was very helpful keeping the house clean and keeping us fed. It was great not having to shop for groceries or prepare meals. The only drawback of this house is the distance into town and to the marina.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the villa staff who were very warm and friendly. We were offered drinks and given a tour of the property. The view coming through the main door was incredible. During our stay we felt safe and well taken care of. We were able to see many whales from the balconies and had a fireworks show almost every night. The only concern would be that there are a lot of stairs between all the floors so mobility maybe an issue for older guest. We had a blast an would stay here again without a second thought.
On arrival this place was amazing. It was exactly as it was in the photos. The views were gorgeous from any point in the house. When we arrived the staff was gracious and greeted us with some fresh chips and dips and drinks of our choice. Throughout the trip the house was kept tidy and clean at all times and we were all well taken care of by all members of staff. The house was outside of the city proper and very jungly which was great as that is what we were looking for. There was a lovely beach about a 15min walk from the house that had everything you needed. Overall this was an unforgettable trip and I would 100% stay here again.
Casa Nautilus is incredibly beautiful. We were well cared for by a very professional and hardworking team. The house was kept spotless by Mary, Andre saw to our every need, including arranging transportation and excursions, and Ramone prepared amazing dishes every time. We saw whales from our balconies every day, as well as sea turtles, fish and a huge ray. This was a once in a lifetime experience for my family and we are all so glad we choose Casa Nautilus.
Nice house
First time of having a chef and a great helper. Food was awesome. Pool is very small but worst memory were the beds are so hard that we did not look forward to going to sleep. Location of house is over 30 minutes to town. Owner did not get back to us regarding tipping of daily housekeeper which really was not needed, yet we were expected to tip her also. Being on the ocean was enjoyable. No access and no beach, but very relaxing
The customs at airport was a very negative start. Took over 2 hours with no fans or drinking water. Rediculous enough that we probably will not come to that airport ever again.
Our family of 7 stayed at Casa Nautilus the week of Jan 4-11, 2020. The house was pretty much as advertised, and we had absolutely no issues with there being any surprises that deviated from the VRBO description.
The highlight of this place is the location, cliff side with panoramic views off all four balconies. People should be aware that the positioning of the house limits sunlight to the pool area, and that you can only really get sun from the top level deck if that is important to you.
The staff was great, they treated us well, and were not intrusive at all.
It was really amazing to see whales breaching right from the balcony, and a stingray swim right by the rocks below us. I would recommend this house to anyone interested in being outside of Puerto Vallarta.
We spent 11 nights in this fantastic oceanfront villa. There were 8 of us and found it to be spacious with lots of different patios and private areas to enjoy solitude.
Sitting on the patio, listening to the crashing waves and catching glimpses of sea life was probably my favourite part. But there were so many wonderful memories made here it’s hard to pick a favourite!
We did not take advantage of the chef but did enjoy having a cleaning lady to pick up upper us! She was pleasant and not intrusive at all. There were times we didn’t even know she was there!
I would not hesitate to stay here again. The only thing I would caution is the driveway is very steep and we had issues getting our oversized vehicle down to the house. There is parking on the street but if you’ve had a few margaritas the driveway can be a challenge!

Amazing views and staff
We had a wonderful time in PVR. Eriic our houseperson did a great job taking care of us . He scheduled transfers, boat excursions, made drinks, served food, and BEST of all spoke perfect English and translated for us to the Chef. Monica was an outstanding chef. Food was great and she was able to make grilled steak to lobster and shrimp taste exquisite!
The villa set on coast and the waves lulled us to sleep each night. Bedrooms were nice with individual bathrooms. The balconys were narrow, we did wish there were more chairs on main balcony. The pool area was lower level and not very sunny. Difficult to get out of pool also.
Lot of stairs for seniors. - 4 levels . Further out of town, 25 min and about 45 min to airport! Overall, we had a great experience!😎

Simply outstanding!
I cannot say enough about this great Casa and the staff. The place is actually nicer than the pictures on the site. We were fortunate to be here during whale migration and saw whales from the balconies each day. Michelle was terrific and helped us extend our stay. The staff- wow! Miseal catered to our every need and totally spoiled us. He arranged transport and site seeing trips. Jazzael (probably spelled that wrong) the chef was amazing and made us delicious fresh meals and margaritas! Mari kept the place spotless. We slept with the sliding doors open to feel the lovely breeze and hear the ocean waves and always felt safe. We even took the local bus most places. It picks up right outside the Casa. For 8 pesos you can ride anywhere. No need for a car. The driveway is steep and tricky to navigate, so wear sensible shoes and be careful. We were here for 9 days and can't wait to return. We will definitely be back to Casa Nautilus!

About the host
Hosted by Michelle
We have been in the Puerto Vallarta for over 20 years. We started with our sister property Villa Marbella located in Conchas Chinas, loved it so much we purchased Casa Nautilus.
Why they chose this property
Casa Nautilus is a perfect location with amazing views from every room of the house. It is so quiet other than the beautiful sound of the ocean. Perfect spot for a family or friends. We just love it!
