My, my, my, what a hidden gem. This was my first time using AirBnB and I was pleasantly surprised. The property was very spacious, modern, (I loved the glass cover over the stove, though I never used it..lol) the rooms were comfortable, and the beds were soft and encouraged a restful night sleep. So much so that my friend and I fell asleep twice when we planned to go out, because our beds held us captive. It was nice to have beach towels, since we forgot to pack those, and nice to have an outdoor patio area where we could enjoy the breeze and view without being scorched by the sun. John was pretty responsive and very accommodating. Our flight back to the USA was delayed by FIVE hours and John was gracious enough to allow us to stay as long as we needed. So we took off our travel gear and went right back in our swim wear and spent the day by the rooftop pool. It was nice to meet the other residents who seem to be long term renters, so we felt safe knowing that we had consistent neighbors. The property was extremely close to everything, we walked to restaurants, bars, the beach, shopping attractions, etc, but we took an uber back because that hill was not our friend. Nope. Funny, on the last day we discovered a set of stairs that we could have used instead of the road. Ha! I would definitely look to John when I return to PVR. His property was in a beautiful location, a marvelous view, quiet (except for the cock that crowed for about 6 hours) and super convenient. Thank you for the wonderful experience and your hospitality!

The view from this condo is amazing, the location is wonderful, right on the beach, it was a good place to come back to after being out by the pool or at the beach all day long.

Location, location, location! The views are even better in person! We loved staying here and got to watch dolphins and whales right from our balcony. It’s an easy taxi to downtown but away from the hustle and bustle when you want to relax on the beach or by the pool. We did do one all inclusive day at the resort and it was okay, but we highly recommend leaving the resort and exploring all Puerto Vallarta has to offer. The Taco Tour is great! We felt very safe just exploring on our own. We only wish our stay was longer

Casa Abina is a great new condo unit with all the amenities we needed including a BBQ. We had a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit on the main floor. A short walk to the Malecon, beach and old town PV area where there are lots of restaurants, markets and shopping. Staff are terrific and helpful. Guard dogs (Puc and Bandito) are super friendly. Jeremiah made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed during our 2 week stay. Loved the heated pool on the main floor and the dipping pool on the rooftop terrace. Enjoyed having our morning coffee in the courtyard. Thanks for the wonderful vacation!

Convenient location, walking distance to just about everything. Incredible views, clean friendly staff, one or two not-so-friendly neighbors, however great host and a couple really nice neighbors! Lively location but quiet time was usually around 10AM. One person in the building threw a rager until 1AM but it was Saturday and we live in a large city too. Great restaurants and kid friendly activities nearby. We did encounter some backlash with our kids in the pool (unhappy neighbors) otherwise were complimented regarding our kids and their behavior. We stayed in two units in this building and really enjoyed them both. Thank you John! Epic vacation! Come see us in SF!!!! Xoxo

John's place was amazing! The view was to die for and there was more than enough space for everyone. I would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The view was even better than the pictures! We lucked out with the timing of our stay and were treated to some epic whale watching from the balcony. We saw dolphins and mama whales with calves jumping completely out of the water and splashing around several times! It was a lot of fun to sit on the balcony and watch them play! The room is clean and comfortable and the location is great. I highly recommend not renting a car and taking advantage of Uber here. It’s very cheap and easy. We went all over the city and I think the most we payed was $3 for a ride with no stress of driving and worrying about a rental car. The recommendations John had for food were all great. We checked most of them off the list and were not disappointed once. The food and drinks in the city are way better than what is available at the resort in my opinion. All and all we had a great time here and would definitely come back!

John is very attentive, he always answers questions and he does it in a very short time, the accommodation is perfect for 4 or 5 people, everything is super well kept and the decoration makes you feel at home, the location is privileged since the beach is just in front of the resort, the department has everything you need to cook, in case you want, the only thing we did not like was that the resort staff discriminated against us for staying in the condo and not in the hotel, never No one warns you that if you do not pay the day pass of approximately one thousand pesos a day per person, you cannot consume absolutely anything in the pool area (there is no option to pay only for the drinks you consume), leaving that detail aside, it is a excellent option to stay in Vallarta.
