General overview
Globes are welcome!
Our main home is in Victoria BC so we are not looking to swap our Mexican home for British Columbia properties. Globes however are welcome especially winter 25/26 which is completely open!
Two week minimum stay required per complex rules.
Three bedroom, three bathroom townhome in a 24/7 secure gated community. There are two pools in the complex and two large palapas with lounge chairs, eating areas and charcoal BBQ pits. We are within walking distance to the beach (five minutes) and town square (ten minutes). You have to cross the highway, however there are traffic lights and it is safe. There are two small shopping plazas steps away with an OXXO convenience store (similar to 7-11), pharmacy, bakery, and restaurants.
The space
Our lovely townhome with air conditioning throughout has three fully furnished bedrooms, all on the second floor: master bedroom with a king size bed, walk in closet and and ensuite bathroom. There's a large balcony off the master bedroom with patio loungers- It overlooks the pool; the second bedroom has a queen bed and the third has twin beds which can be converted to a king.
The main bathroom is on the second floor. Both upstairs bathrooms have walk-in showers. The ensuite bathroom has a bidet toilet. There is an additional bathroom on the main floor with a tub and shower. The main floor has a fully furnished kitchen with a gas stove, granite counters and a large refrigerator with ice maker.
We have an entire house water filtration system so it's safe to drink right from the tap. There is a small laundry room off the kitchen with a washer, dryer and laundry tub. Also on the main floor is the living room and dining room with a marble table which seats up to eight.
Wifi; TV. The small front patio at the entrance has patio chairs and a small gas BBQ. There is a covered carport and two parking spaces one where we park our car. The larger back outside patio has comfortable furniture with pull down shades for the afternoon sun. It overlooks the gardens and the smaller of two pools in the complex.
There are ceiling fans in all bedrooms and just about everywhere in the condo. In total we have twelve fans, including those outside both ground floor patios. Because the condo is mostly concrete construction, we often find the interior cooler than outside even without using the AC.
Guest access
Lockbox with keys plus very friendly neighbours who also have keys to access our home.
While we have a small dog, our complex only allows owners to have pets. So, while personally we would normally allow pets, we are unable to accommodate them in our Mexican home.
Notes
If you want, maid service is available for a reasonable cost, which we can arrange.

Neighbourhood
There are many beach restaurants, bars and fun nightlife all within a short walk. The street taco stands are safe and delicious! Taxi's are plentiful and the bus stop is a short block away. Buses can take you into Puerto Vallarta- about 45 minutes or up the coast to the funky beach towns of Sayulita and San Pancho and the magnificent beach of Destilladares, which I think is the most beautiful on the west coast of Mexico! There are three major grocery stores about 5-10 minutes by taxi or bus. There's also a daily small local Mexican market in the town square. On Sunday there is the local veggie/fruit/prepared local tacos and flea market within walking distance. It's full of the local people getting their weekly groceries, meeting friends and enjoying the day off.
Here is a very short video of our little town! EVERYTHING you see in the video is within walking distance!

Getting to my home
Taxi from the airport is the simplest.
Nearest airport
Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR) is 30-40 minutes away- depending on traffic and day of the week. Weekends in high season are very busy with flights from Canada and the USA.
Getting around
Buses and taxis are plentiful and reasonable. It's an easy walk to the beach and town centre.
I will leave lots of suggestions for favourite restaurants, things to do, where to go in Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias and the surrounding area.

Karen and Gail are beautiful people. We had great conversations about traveling. They are very easy, friendly and they took very good care of our house. We really can recommend an exchange with them.
It was such a pleasure to welcome and meet Karen and Gail.
The communication was excellent and we met a few times when they were here. It was a great exchange and I am glad to see the PLU spirit is alive !
Karen and Gail were wonderful guests, who looked after our plants and left our home neat and clean. Communication was great throughout and we discovered a number of shared interests. We would gladly host them again, or organise a reciprocal exchange.
The perfect exchange couple. We would not hesitate to have them come again.
George and Meike's home was located in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood. It was also close to public transportation and a short walk for groceries. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable! The garden is lovely as well. Communication was excellent each time we were in touch.
I would also highly recommend a stay in Arnhem, a city previously unknown to us but it is absolutely beautiful.
We had a delightful time at Alexandra’s apartment. It had everything we needed for a perfect trip to Belgium. It’s located about five minutes from the train station which was so convenient for day trips of which we did many! Antwerp, Ypres, Ghent, Bruges, Kortrijk and more. The grocery store was literally across the street and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. A huge bonus was having Alex on site in her own apartment in the building. We went for dinner one night and another evening she invited us for a home cooked Belgian meal. We now have a new friend and look forward to welcoming her to our home!
Tony and Barbara’s home in Tooting is in a perfect location for visiting London. Just a few blocks from the busy main road yet quiet and peaceful. The kitchen/family room is where we spend our little time at home. It was perfect and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the garden, flowers and trees. Barbara was a joy to communicate with. She was always available to message on What’s App. Our only disappointment was their return flight was late so we didn’t get a chance to meet in person. I highly recommend this lovely home for a visit to London.
Alain was a very quiet tidy guest in our suite. We hardly knew he was here. Everything was left in perfect condition.
Teresa and Masami were absolutely perfect guests. They stayed in the separate suite in our home for a week and other than having the car outside, we would never have known they were here! They were quiet and the suite was left in immaculate condition. Thank you for visiting and we look forward to our exchange in your Oregon home in June!
George and Mieke were perfect guests in the suite in our home. They are a delightful couple and we look forward to meeting them again when we visit the Netherlands in the future. They left our suite in pristine condition. We would not hesitate to exchange with them again!
Super location in the middle of Vancouver Island. Just a short drive to one of the most spectacular beaches on the island. COMFY cozy bed!! Private Pickleball Court on the acreage-large property, nice to get away from it all but in the heart of the city in ten minutes! Very close to spectacular nature that Vancouver Island is famous for!
Mike and Clara were wonderful hosts and guests! Great communication throughout our exchange.
