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.

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!

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!

Best Place Ever
We have had the opportunity to do a lot of travel and we cannot rave enough about the Casa Guacamole experience. Every bedroom is spectacular and beautifully appointed with Its own bathroom. And, because the Bedrooms are located on floors two and three there’s a lot of separation between the common area and the bedrooms. The views from the common area on the main level are unparalleled. There’s so much space on the common area. Our group of 10 was easily able to hang out with with each other or to get away from each other. We ate at all three of the dining areas and Carolina and Erika were the most gracious chefs and greatest cooks that you will get the opportunity to experience in Mexico. The pool is spectacular and was serviced on a daily basis, as were the many plants scattered throughout the casa. While there is a little bit of a climb to get to the house, it is a simple cab ride from downtown if you don’t want to get the exercise. If there’s any question about where to stay in Puerto Vallarta With a larger group, there’s no question that this should be the only place that you would want to stay.

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!

The Best Vacation Ever!!!
This property is breathtaking. It is so open and all 5 bedrooms have a balcony that overlook the ocean so there is no bad room. Each bedroom has it's own private bath. Only one bedroom has it's bathroom across the hall but not a bid deal. The service and meals that we received from Carolina and Ericka was 100% amazing. Anytime we go to PV, this will be our home of choice. The walk down the hill to the shops and restaurants was not bad. Everything is so close to this location. We did not rent a car but used Uber everywhere we went and it was so cheap and convenient. 9 of us were so comfortable and didn't even use one bedroom so I think a group of 10 would be perfect. Thank you Andrea for sending us so much information and completely preparing us for our stay. You are the best host ever!!!!

Simply Amazing!
This property is spectacular! As I walked in, it was even more impressive than I could have anticipated. The pictures are fantastic but do not do the property proper justice. There are quite a few steps to get to the property, but it is more than worth it once you enter. The host was terrific in helping coordinate some activities in the house; we had spa services in the place, and it was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing spa day. Also, the communication was impeccable. We stayed at Luna Liquida Hotel, which is a short distance from the house, and we checked out to do some sightseeing, and when we returned to get our luggage from the hotel, Fernando, the groundsman, had already brought all of our bags to the house. The maids, Carolina and Erika, were also extremely helpful, friendly, and excellent cooks. They were so sweet and made the stay even more enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It truly was remarkable and something I will never forget.

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.

No complaints on our stay - it was a fantastic trip and house and staff are amazing. Pictures don’t do the house justice it is beautiful with great attention to detail throughout, unbelievable views, and Erica and Carolina cooked us some pretty amazing meals. This wasn’t an issue for our group but note the house is at the top of a hill (why the views are so great…) with a steep 10-15 min walk up from the beach and most restaurants, but house is easily car / uber accessible

The Perfect Girls' Trip
I booked a week in January at Casa Guac for 4 girlfriends and myself (ages 65-76) to celebrate one friend's final breast cancer treatments. From the moment we walked in the door to the smiling faces of Erika & Carolina, we knew we were in Heaven! The beautifully decorated downstairs area has a dining room, media room, kitchen, living area with the pool, a fountain, and 2 large dining tables. It is truly breathtaking! The most difficult part was deciding who got which bedroom as they are ALL fabulous. There are 3 bedrooms on the second level (which includes a master suite with a bathroom as large as anyone's house!) and the third level has 2 gorgeous suites. Each unique bedroom faces the ocean with a balcony and all but one bedroom has an ensuite bathroom (the one that does not, on level 2, has a bathroom just across the hall, so no problem). We felt like 5 princesses!! Honestly, I had a hard time getting my friends to leave CG as we all enjoyed gathering by the lovely pool with the fabulous views of Banderas Bay and they did not want to leave. Who could blame them? Several mornings we could see whales from our balcony (whales come from Dec. - Mar. to birth their babies in the Bay). It was so exciting! Not only is CG lovely in every way, every detail has been carefully thought out - the furnishings, the linens, the gorgeous fabrics & accessories, the art, plates, cups, tote bags, plants, and more. It's a designer showcase! We enjoyed our breakfasts each morning at CG and loved experiencing all the wonderful restaurants in Old Town (three 5-star restaurants are in walking distance: La Cappella, Hacienda San Angel Gourmet, and The Iguana ). All of us felt very safe. Gringo Gulch is a beautiful area of Old Town. There are a lot of steps and it is steep in places, but we took our time and walked slowly. "Do not talk or look while you walk" was our motto! You must stop if you want to look while walking around PV. It was a trip of a life time and Casa Guacamole is the PERFECT place for a girls' trip. Of course, it's perfect for couples too! We LOVED every minute of our stay at CG!!

Casa Guacamole won't disappoint
Within minutes of arriving everyone in our group said they would be coming back. That's the impression that Casa Guacamole makes on visitors. The house is charming and wonderfully decorated so that you feel like you are in Mexico. The rooms and outside spaces make it easy for people traveling in big groups to enjoy some privacy or quiet time alone. Erika and Carolina are friendly and helpful and wonderful cooks. Do have them make at least one dinner for you. The house does have a lot of stairs so something to consider if you are traveling with seniors or small children in our group. We'll be back!

Can’t wait to go back!
Our visit to Casa Guacamole exceeded our expectations in EVERY way! We had 5 ladies in our group from different parts of the US and we all met here for a nice getaway! The open air concept of the house was so cool! We visited during rainy season and it was awesome to sit at the table u see cover, play games and watch the rain. Andrea is amazing and the most incredible host. She has thought of every possible detail for the property. Every time we turned around we noticed a different detail. Wish we had taken more pictures of each detail. Erika & Carolina are the best! When they talk about the house and Andrea their entire face lights up. You can tell they have so much pride in what they do and taking care of their guests. We had intended to go out for a few meals and after the first day realized we didn’t even need to leave the house! We had the girls prepare brunch and dinner for us each day. For every meal there was an entire tablsecape. Napkins, rings, placemats, glassware. Perfection. And all of their meals were delicious! In my opinion, this is a perfect place for a girls trip or couples trip…we can’t wait to visit again and if this host ever has properties in other locations we would visit in a heartbeat! Casa Guacamole was incredible!
