40th birthday vacation
My two friends and husband came down to celebrate my 40th birthday. Being in the off season, we rarely saw any other guests in the shared areas, it seemed like we had it all to ourselves! The condo itself is immaculate, we enjoyed the dunk pool and the amazing views. We even named our iguana that liked to chill with us. You can give him your own name ;) Communication was great and we just had a wonderful time. There’s plenty to do and see! We chose to take Ubers wherever we went and did not have a hard time finding one. 10/10 would recommend.

Just the best
This home was set up with everything you could need. We have privacy on the beautiful balance and loved the indoor outdoor vibe when we opened the sliders. Spacious and comfortable. The pool and beach were literally steps away and very tranquil. And let’s talk about location… right in the heart of all of the restaurants and shops. We appreciated the service and prompt responses to any of our questions and needs.

This is a fantastic property with lovely views etc. It was as advertised. Loved having a washer dryer with the kids. We were on a great stretch of the beach in Bucerias. Fantastic restaurants within walking distance. La comer is an amazing grocery store. We used Uber at times to get up there as taxis aren’t readily available out front but are just a few blocks away. We had a great vacation and hope to return!

Amazing
Monica and Adriana were responsive and easy to get a hold of when we had questions. The place is just like the pics, but better. For 6 people, it was no issue with space. We all enjoyed the plunge pool and was a nice added feature. The sunsets are always amazing and the sound of the ocean are relaxing. Water pressure was spot on. It is a smaller tank so keep that in mind. You are very close and can walk to everything you need. We walked up to the grocery store a few times and walked back. There was always a cab waiting if you need a ride back. Corner markets for more beer and snacks. Even walking to town square was quick and worth the visit. I gave the place 4 stars for cleanliness, only because of the ants. We made no mention of it because it wasn't a huge deal. Nothing that wasn't sealed got put in the fridge or the microwave. All in all, we were all very pleased with our stay and will look to book again for another family outting.

Lovely stay at Pelicano! The home was perfect for our group of 6. Well stocked with everything from pool towels to beach chairs. The grounds are just stunning and so well kept. Many restaurants within walking distance and a grocery store as well. The daily cleaning service was a nice bonus! Gorgeous view from the balcony!

Great location and beautiful beachfront spot
We have been to the Bucerias area several times and La Vida is in a perfect location. It's on the nicest section of beach and walking distance to everything. The one thing to take note of is that this is a VERY quiet villa community. Most of the owners are elderly and they don't even like loud talking around the pool. The location, the villa, the concierge are all amazing, but if you have younger kids, who tend to make a bit of noise, this location may not be for you. If you are adults and looking for a quiet, serene atmosphere, then this is a wonderful spot.

Wonderful relaxing wedding vacation
We spent 5 days in Bucerias for a family wedding. We could walk to all the festivities and the condo was wonderful. The condo is absolutely beautiful. Sitting in the infinity pool on the porch was wonderful during the day and at sunset. The community pool was lovely and quiet as well. The gym is lacking in free weights but we were able to take long runs and do body weight workouts. The condo had plenty of towels, cooking utensils, and beach chairs. We used the "In Drive" app for a short ride to and from the local larger grocery "La Comer". We had continued mobile services through T-mobile with easy North American plan add on. We texted and emailed with the concierge on arrival. They offered to get groceries, rides, excursions, chefs, basically anything you could possibly need. It was really seamless and relaxing. I recommend getting massages on the beach. Just walk up and the current price is 400 pesos (about $20). We enjoyed walks/runs heading south on Calle Lazaro Cardenas. There is a lovely walking trail into a larger resort area. If you head north on this street you will end up crossing the kissing bridge into the main market area. Exercise caution when crossing the bridge late at night. We recommend getting meals at Ozzie's bar (standard American), Karen's Place (I have celiac disease and they have GF labeled menu items), and Mykos (sushi and they have GF soy sauce).

Anniversary vacation
Lovely accommodations. It would have been helpful to know that there were numerous steps to navigate to the beach since there were two 80 year old adults one who was challenged by all the steps. It would be helpful to have a better/clearer way of paying for additional services instead of being told so many pecos & converting pecos to charge via credit card . PayPal etc. Here are the charges in pecos or here are you charges in American dollars or whatever country you’re dealing with. Then the individual can decided how to pay.

Beautiful Home in Gorgeous Gated Community
La Vida has it all. We were greeted at the gate by Adriana the property concierge. She walked the home and property with us and made sure that we had what we needed for a great stay. She coordinated for a cook and bartender to prepare meals and serve drinks at very affordable rates. This home has high end finishes, Viking appliances, comfortable furniture and high quality linens. Daily housekeeping is included in the rate. Beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels are provided. The beach club (ocean front) has an oversized palapa, padded chaise lounges, a large pool, hot tub, small gym and bathrooms. Most of the time we had the beach club to ourselves and the beach in front of the property was largely empty during our stay. The landscaping throughout the property is lush and well maintained. Bucerias has become a bit of a Canadian expat enclave with many great restaurants within walking distance of the home. Prices are very reasonable. Almost all had live music as well. Bucerias is growing so expect considerable construction. We split our trip between an all inclusive in Nuevo Vallarta and this home. If we had to do over again we would skip the all inclusive.

The perfect get-away!
This was our second stay at Villa Pelicano and both times were absolutely wonderful! The unit is very spacious -- more than enough room for my husband and myself as well as our two adult sons and each of their partners. It is beautifully decorated and well-kept. Both Monica and Adrianna checked in on us often to make sure that everything was going well--it was great to know that they were just a text-message away if we needed anything! We loved spending time on the terrace, by the pool, and on the beach -- such a peaceful retreat! And when we wanted to get out, there were lots of restaurants and downtown Bucerias within easy walking distance. We can't wait to go back again next year!
