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.

Experience the beauty of PV from Casa Guacamole

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.

It's Perfect!

We chose Casa Guacamole for a Saturday to Saturday stay to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday based on a strong recommendation and the property, host & amazing chef's still exceeded our high expectations, so it's my pleasure to give this stay 5+ Stars so that others may enjoy as we did! We had family stay for the first part of the week, then switched to host friends in the second half, it was perfect. Every room is truly amazing and has it all, easily enough room to sleep 2 in each room, amazing view, and a balcony plus great individual room A/C units that get as cold as you would like it. Staff was outstanding and that's an understatement - meals were EASY and BEST WE'VE had!! We asked for many recipes to attempt to recreate - Make sure to order Chillaquilles for one of your breakfasts!! Gladly answer any questions, we stayed in in October of 2024!

Beautiful Property & Views

We stayed at Casa Guac 14 nights spanning Christmas and New Years. The home itself is stunning. It was sparkling clean & very comfortable. We were an extended family, with two people in their 80's. Be aware that the stairs are extensive at this property. We knew there were three stories, with bedrooms on the second and third levels, and planned on the grandparents being up just one level, which they can handle. But what we didn't know is that just to enter the front door you have to walk up a very steep incline, then go up a long staircase. That was quite difficult for the older folks. The views are absolutely spectacular, especially at New Years. We had a sweeping view of all the fireworks around the entire Bay! A drawback of being up on the hillside above PV is that sound reverberates upward all the way from the boardwalk way down below. There are tons of loud festivities (someone on a microphone all the time) during the xmas holiday season in the evenings, and at times it sounds like they are literally right on your patio - well into the night. There are also loud dogs that bark a lot. That was difficult for some of us. Overall, Casa Guac was absolutely lovely and I'd stay there again, but not with people that have mobility issues (or younger kids- so many stairs), and probably for a week or less. The location, right in centro, was awesome for us that could manage the walk. We loved getting to know PV's centro!

Absolutely stunning

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.

Casa Guacamole for the Weekend

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.

Fabulous and beautiful vacation spot!

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!

Unforgettable

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.

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.

Casa Guacamole ruined our plans! The house, decor, views and service made us never want to leave. We ended up staying in and enjoying the wonderful pool and patio more often than not. Our days started with Erika & Carolina serving delicious breakfasts with the most beautiful table settings and ended enjoying the gorgeous sunset & fireworks views from the multiple balconies.

We enjoyed our stay at the Casa Guacamole,

The house itself was beautiful and the two ladies, Carolina and Erika were phenomenal. our group included 9 adults and 2 toddlers which I am sure was a handful. The location of the house up the hill and along narrow streets was slightly problematic for us to have both Uber and Taxi's make to the house. therefore we tended to stay at the house more than we had planned, although it was not a hardship. overall experience was good.

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Moran

Host profile image
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!
