ESCAPE to MEXICO -- LOW RATES Small Villa Ocean Views, Private Pool w Terrace
Casa Montaña is known as "The Jewel Box Villa" like a sparkling gem. It's the perfect size to accommodate up to four adults. The villa has an open, airy, and tropical feel with ocean views and a private pool surrounded by lush flowers and plants. It is your own special haven where you will restore and enjoy the comfort and relaxation of paradise. A delicious feeling of peace envelops you, sitting by the pool while viewing a gorgeous orange sunset and sipping your favorite cool drink.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL SHORT-TERM RENTAL, Casa Montaña believes in pampering their guests. Your experience is more Bed and Breakast Forget the cleaning fees and lugging your own bedding. Leave the list of do's and don'ts at home. We do not ask that here. No rushing to make coffee in the morning, it's already made. Don't want to spend your first day of vacation at the grocery store, groceries are there when you are. Tequila, vodka, wine, no problem, we got it. Just send your list ahead and it's there when you arrive. A complemtary light breakfast done in a flash. Feeling huevos rancheros, just ask Maria ahead. We're flexible! Wet towels are refreshed, bathrooms cleaned and beds made so you don't have to bother. Need a ride fom the airport, it's done, ask Moises. Need more groceries, ask Maria. Want a great Mexican dinner, Maria does that too. Maria does know just about everything. Need beach umbrellas and towels, check. Normally, Maria is at the house four days a week. She is often available for additional meals if requested on her off days. Maria's cooking fees are reasonable and she is easy to work with. Guests pay for their food of choice, she prepares the meals for you, and will let you know in advance what the cost will be. It is easy and fun to plan meals with her. The villa features a luxurious master suite and patio perfect for sunset viewing, as well as a slightly smaller guest suite and patio. Its quiet location in the exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood, near Old Town Vallarta, makes it a perfect honeymoon haven or vacation getaway. The villa is tucked into a lush, tropical hillside. You'll awaken to birdsong and butterflies. Later in the day, viewing a stunning sunset on the patio or by the pool while sipping a margarita could easily become your favorite pastime. The villa is professionally & meticulously decorated in sophisticated Old Mexico style and equipped with modern amenities and housekeeping. Keeping in mind that many of us are now working outside of our offices, we offer excellent wi-fi throughout the villa. Casa Montaña graciously integrates indoor & outdoor living. Three sets of French doors open from the living room to embrace the large terrace and the inviting azure water of the pool. This private villa is a short walk (wear tennis shoes) to the Conchas Chinas white-sand beach and an easy walk or taxi ride into Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone, also known as Old Town. With its picturesque gardens, cobblestone streets, galleries, shopping, restaurants, nightlife and music, Puerto Vallarta is a great walking town. A taxi or Uber is around $5 US and easy to find. The villa is managed by Moises at ProManageVallarta, they ensure the pool, grounds and all other physical aspects of the villa are well maintained. Additionally, Moises is available to help our guests with questions, or if anything should come up that requires assistance, he is there. ***On this site, I want to offer some help in looking for available dates for your stay.

Wonderful Stay
Amazing stay at Casa las Montañas. The house is adorable. Very comfortable and private. Great for two couples or a family visiting. Mary, the housekeeper is lovely. Usually there in the mornings. She’s able to make breakfasts and dinners if you arrange in advance. She also made us some delicious frozen margaritas. The house is a bit of a walk into PV. Doable, but definitely not super close. Much easier on the downhill. We alternated between walking and Ubers/taxis without any problem. The house is right across from Ocho Cascadas, which made it easy to direct taxis. Beds were super comfy with loads of pillow options. Bedrooms huge and comfortable. Really delightful. The only hiccup was that our initial food order didn’t get in, but Mary got us set up in no time.

Casa Montaña August 2024
The house was just as advertised and the staff was super helpful. The fridge was out of commission the whole time but Alex and Chef Maria brought a cooler and ice. Chef Maria’s food was absolutely amazing! Next time we go to PV we will try to get her again! Decent location but not really walking distance anywhere but Patio Azul restaurant behind the house. Most all cab drivers know the place by name so it was easy to get home and Uber wits down there.

Fantastic Villa in a Charming Neighborhood
We had an amazing vacation in this gorgeous villa recently. The place is beautifully decorated; the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable; the private pool and patio areas are fantastic; and Maria's cooking is out of this world. Frankly, we stopped going out to eat, as nothing could compare to Maria's dinners! All around fantastic experience!

Nice Place - Poor Communication with Host
The villa was nice and well stocked. Maria prepared one dinner for us that was great and came to clean and did a great job. The downstairs A/C did not work and the outside grill did not work. We pointed this out to the host, but nothing was done to address these issues and neither was working when we left. Communication with Sandy was horrible. Sometimes it was a week before we had questions answered. We were given a credit of $200 for Maria to prepare meals, but were never instructed on how to use this credit (after we asked). Our initial booking was mishandled which cost us extra for having to rebook airfare. Although the villa was nice and well appointed, we would not stay there again due to poor communication with the host.

Beautiful home in Conchas Chinas
Great stay in this beautiful home. Kitchen was very functional. The property was as beautiful in person as it was online. I do not recommend booking transport and shopping through the property manager. I was charged more than quoted for the ride+grocery stop. Other than that, a great place. Easy to get a cab at the hotel across the street.

Great house, not great communication
The house was as advertised. Beautiful property with excellent onsite staff (who are there constantly, if you're looking for privacy). However, communication from the owner and concierge company was subpar. The AC was broken downstairs in all common areas of the house, a surprise upon arrival. AC was very important to our group due to a medical issue and we would not have booked a property that only had AC in the bedrooms. The first few days were uncomfortable. The second day we asked if it could be fixed sooner, received no response, and the third day someone arrived unannounced to look at the AC when we were about to leave. We canceled our plans. AC guy said he’d be back in an hour and never returned. After he left, concierge texted that AC repair would be coming that day. Two days later, after the heat had passed, the concierge finally contacted us again to tell us that AC guy was coming back and asked if we would be around to let him in (and wait for him to finish, I guess). Seriously?
The house is beautiful, the house staff were very nice, but the concierge messed up our arrival airport transport, provided incorrect info about drinking water in the house, and the AC was a problem. Most vacation rentals include an info binder and that would have been useful. Checkout time is 11am, but expect staff to arrive hours earlier on your last day and start cleaning around you, mildly annoyed that you're still there.

Wonderful Villa in Conchas Chinas
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa! Very nicely furnished. Maid & grounds keepers are very nice & unobtrusive. Maid comes about 9 which for us is a little early, but she only comes every other day so we could sleep in the other days. View is beautiful..fyi, there is a big radio tower across the street which is the only thing not pretty about the view but that is not the owners fault. Very relaxing getaway. We will stay here again.

60th Birthday Celebration
Very nice property, easy access to all locations as long as you have the Uber app which made it very easy to get around. Only problem was water pump at house went out and didn’t have water for 24hrs so no toilets or shower our last full day there. But other than that great time at the beaches, restaurants and shops. Would do it again.
This was a hidden gem in Puerto Vallarta. My wife and i have been to Puerto Vallarta numerous times and have stayed at different Hotels and Condos but for us this was the best of the best. Maria the housekeeper/chef was awesome and treated us so well she felt like family. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Homebase for a Stay in PV
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Montaña. We normally stay in Zona Romantica, but wanted to try out having a whole house to ourselves instead of just a condo, but were a little worried about being a bit outside the main town in Conchas Chinas (esp. with our friend who is mobility-challenged).
While the walk into town was not do-able for our friend, we had no issues with grabbing an Uber or a taxi (most of the time there was a taxi outside the Ochos Cascadas hotel next door). Fares into or from old town were usually 50~60 pesos and took about 5mins.
As for the casa, it was just what we were hoping for and expecting. Well designed and decorated, with lots of space for 4 adults. Everything was very clean, and we received housekeeping services from the very friendly Maria every other day. We didn't have an opportunity to have Maria prepare a meal for us, but based on her welcome gift of homemade salsa and guacamole, I am sure one would not be disappointed.
We really enjoyed all the different spaces we could hang out and relax, from the main pool area to the large living room and (my favourite) the balcony off the primary bedroom. You could have sun or shade any time of the day as you desired.
The on-site support from Rigo and David at Admin Homes was great, from check-in to quickly taking care of any small questions/issues during our stay (eg connecting to WiFi, arranging transfer back to the airport, etc.).
Overall, a great place to stay in PV!

Comfortable house in Conchas Chinas
This is a great comfortable property for 4 people, with a friendly staff that keeps the place running (and come to the house very often!). Conchas Chinas gives you a more residential feel but be ready to uber/drive a lot to the city, as walking there means walking on the highway. As noted in another review, there's ongoing construction across the street so there's a lot of noise and dust (plus an eyesore). The ocean views are also spoiled by a gigantic antenna across the street - which the photos conveniently don't show. If you go, make sure you visit the Patio Azul bar across the street, they have terrific views.

This is a great property in all respects. Our bad luck was that a building across the street is under renovation, so we had loud noise- grinding, sawing, pounding, etc. throughout our stay. Part of the crew is living in the building while working, so not much let up in noise at any time.

Jewel of a Casa!
Had a great time at Casa Montaña. A great little property. Very comfortable. The private pool is amazing. The balcony of the master bedroom has an amazing view. A great place to stay.
We had arranged to have supplies and groceries at the property when we arrived, a service they provide as there is nothing really close to the Casa to grab water or soda or snacks. I had my requests in 2 months ahead of our stay. The Casa was not stocked and it took more than 24 hours to get supplies there. Also, sometimes the staff coming and going gets a little intrusive. If you book a massage thru the Casa, and you absolutely should, be sure to verify what time housekeeping will arrive. We were interrupted on two separate occasions as we booked massages at the same time as cleaning. Lesson learned. Also, they arrive early in the morning, so if you want to sleep past 9:00am, not happening every other day.
Other than that. A great stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I don't know where to begin. Perfection, Thoughtful, Relaxing. We just spent a month here and it was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. EVERY expectation was met and more. From the bathrooms having ammenities that you may have forgot to pack to having a kitchen that's supplied with coffee tea and spices for at home cooking. The water in all taps are filtered and very clean - very rare and such a nice thing to have. There is a library of books and a drawer of board games. Every little thing has been considered for your stay. The view was beautiful and the pool was fantastic. Maria the Chef was the icing on the cake. She is so sweet and a skilled cook that can make you anything from BBQ ribs to coconut shrimp. Her Mexican dishes are the best we have ever had. Friendly and professional she was a pleasure to have around. It is a quiet location at night which is very important. The walk into town is fairly easy but you are encountering hills. A taxi into town cost 100 pesos most times. The owner Sandy has an amazing team. They are very caring about their guests and we would defiantly stay here again. Thank you Sandy and your team for an amazing stay. You ROCK!!!!
