Property Details

The home is fully furnished and equipped to handle 2 couples or any combination of a family of plus 4 (two kings and one hide-a-bed). The home offers its own private pool, a BBQ and a very large front yard on a relatively private beach. It is fully furnished, nicely appointed and all the amenities of a new home on the beach. I suppose that the biggest advantage of a home like this is that there is lots of room, with miles of beach on one side, a private park on the other and two towns within walking distance, it just doesn’t get any better. There certainly are no vendors and very few strangers wandering around.

The house is located within a 19 home-gated community with 24 hour a day security. The front gate has a security guard at night, with another constantly roaming the property day and night. The casa will be equipped with a stereo and a satellite TV. There will be daily housekeeping (2 days a week) and clean towels and bed linen twice a week. There is a washer and dryer for your own personal needs.

I will warn you about one thing, country living is not for everyone and you probably won’t want to leave once you arrive. Walking down the beach and only saying ‘buenos Dias’ to the odd person is the norm. It will take you ten minutes to walk into town if you choose. The stores are much smaller but then again the people are much friendlier. At any given time during the season, it is not uncommon to see 40 to 50 sailboats anchored in the bay just right of the house. It is the largest protected area for sailboats in the bay and many boaters make this their winter home. From the comments of the guests to date, none have regretted staying at our little enclave. The children have had a particularly good time playing on the beach and amongst the tidal pools.
So now you might ask yourself just where is this place and how do I find it. Well, it is less that 20 minutes from the airport between the two towns of Bucerias and La Cruz (presently that is about a 225 pesos taxi trip ($25 USD). There are small food and convenience stores located in both towns. There is a bus stop right at the top of the driveway and it is a 10 peso trip right to down town Puerto Vallarta. For those wanting to rent a car to do more exploring, the airport offers a number of car rental agents who will provide everything from a VW (@ less than $250 per week) to a full sized Suburban at considerable more.

Vacation Living on the Ocean
Nestled in on the north side of the Bay of Banderas, between the little towns of Bucerias and La Cruz is community of luxury ocean side family living. The gated community of 'La Puntilla's' 19 private casas is located directly on the beach. All the casas were built in 1998 and finished in early 1999; all are complete with private pools and beautiful views of the ocean. What is being offered are modern homes located outside the city in the quietness of the ocean front countryside.
‘La Puntilla’, the little point is a very distinctive gated residential community. Located on a point of land it offers a continuous beach on a point of land that at high tide is totally covered and at low tide is a great place for tidal pools and a wide variety of sea life. As the complex is located on the lea side of the bay, the surf and wave action is much smaller and quieter that found in other areas of the bay.
This residential complex consists of two separate areas of housing located on two streets. The lower or beachfront street (A) has 10 single level homes located on the ocean; the back street (B) is an upper level with 9 two level homes, all with beautiful ocean and mountain views. Separating these two street is a full landscape park like setting of approximately 6500 square meters (one and half acres) with many fruit and decorative trees. Located behind the upper level of homes is a large service area, which will be developed for additional secured parking, tennis courts and other site amenities.
The design team has carefully developed the site taking into consideration the natural contours of the surrounding area. An additional variety of palms and vegetation has been re-introduced to provide a beautiful tropical presentation. All the elements of this project have been combined to offer its residents a tranquil natural setting within the confines of this truly unique offering. No expense has been spared to create a first class residential condominium complex. Each home has its own individual floor plan, exterior appearance and pool design. The design team of building and landscape architects combined with the talents of experienced builders and craftsmen have created 19 homes with their own personal features. They have molded modern building principles and technology with age-old construction techniques to create buildings that will last many years into the future. The buildings have all the modern features of many contemporary North American homes while maintaining a truly Latin American flavor. The homes have been accented with beamed vaulted ceilings, copulas, colored tiles and a variety of marble patterns.

Local Area Details

Local Towns in the Area

Bucerias (just south of us)
The northern arc of the Bay of Banderas begins when you cross the bridge over the Ameca River. The bridge is not only the state line from Jalisco to Nayarit but it is also a time zone change, set your clocks back one hour. Some people call this the "longest and shortest bridge in the world" as it takes 1 minute to cross and 1 hour to return. Approximately 18 miles north of the airport lies a small village called Bucerias meaning "the place of the divers". Bucerias has the longest creamiest sand beaches in the entire bay area. Bucerias, a farming and fishing community, turned tourist attraction, has over three miles of untouched white sand beaches that are incomparable to any other beaches in Mexico. This small Mexican village has been untouched by the outside world for many years, however all of the locals flock to the beaches due to the beauty and calmness of the beach and bay. Bucerias has a lot of activities including, fishing, boating, kayaking, and horseback riding. Dolphins frolic in the breaking surf and on occasion you will see a family of hump back whales surface. There is a local bus system that runs through the area, the bus will take you anywhere in the bay for under 10 pesos. A bus trip is a great way to see the area and meet the local people.

Cruz de Huanacaxtle (just north of us)
This little town is located on the north shore of the Bahia de Banderas. Driving northwest from Puerto Vallarta International Airport with a travel time of 25 minutes (22 Miles - 30 KM) quickly brings you to the quaint fishing village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. (See map of Banderas Bay) Taxis are available from the airport for 250 pesos depending on how good of a negotiator you are. The airport does offer rental cars from all of the major companies.
Within walking distance of the complex of ‘La Puntilla’ are restaurants, public transportation and many conveniences. On the south end of La Cruz is Playa Manzanillo where a carpet of fine, golden-white coral sand stretches along a little cove sheltered by a limestone headland. To the north, enjoy lunch at Pardisco Escondido. Try fresh huachinango (red snapper), camarón (shrimp) or langosta (lobster) in a lush tropical setting on a private cove (bring your swimsuit). Whether it's snorkelling at nearby Playa Peidra Blanca, fishing from the beach, chartering a boat, or golfing at nearby Club de Golf, this place was made for peaceful vacationing.

Puerto Vallarta, the big city next door
The Puerto Vallarta area is located on the Bahia de Banderas (Bay of Flags), the largest natural bay in Mexico and the deepest bay in the world. The area boasts over 100 miles of pristine coastline and the Sierra Vallejo and Cuale Mountains rising to the north and south. The beaches are among the most beautiful you have ever encountered and the mountains have a beautiful coat of green jungle reflecting off the crystal blue waters of the ocean. A hidden paradise waiting to be discovered.
Puerto Vallarta is one of the world’s greatest tourist designations. Located on the same parallel as Hawaii, PV is central in the Bay of Banderas. La Puntilla is nestled between the towns of Bucerias and La Cruz on the north or lea-side of Bay of Flags (Bahia de Banderas). These unique communities are both located directly off the road to Punta Mita.
