General Overview
Our main home is in Victoria BC so we are not looking to swap our Mexican home for British Columbia properties.
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 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. 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 short video of our little town which gives a very good idea of why we love it here!

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 Centro.
I will leave lots of suggestions for favourite restaurants, things to do, where to go in Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias and the surrounding area.

What a fabulous home Karen & Gail have in a perfect location. It is set within a friendly and very well maintained gated complex which has a pool within 30 paces of their patio and an infinity pool just a few minutes away. We didn’t have a car when we stayed for 2 weeks in November, which was no trouble at all as the town centre & beach are both only 15 minutes walk. There’s a plethora of bars, cafes restaurants, all within walking distance, Bucerías is a hive of activity. We found it a very safe and friendly vibe in the town. Public transportation is good to visit places along the coast. Uber etc are plentiful and cheap. Karen & Gail left groceries and a meal for our arrival, thank you! Their home is spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and has everything one could possibly need for a relaxing stay. Karen was always on hand if we had any queries and she responded swiftly. We could not have asked for better exchange partners. We would highly recommend exchanging with them and their home in Bucerías. -
Karen and Gail's home in Bucerias is absolutely wonderful! The complex their home is in, including the pools and grounds, is just beautiful. The home has everything you could want or need to make your stay comfortable. If you ahem a chance, be sure to watch the lightning during a storm from the top deck overlooking the mountains. Beautiful! Karen also was fantastic at communication and a pleasure to chat with. She was so kind to welcome our family into her home. Thank you so much for a great exchange! -
What a wonderful two weeks! But not just the time in Mexico itself, the lead up to the exchange was full of great engagement, incredible interactive maps on google, top tips and thoughtful touches to welcome us. Their beautiful home, and view from all terraces sit amongst a secure and welcoming compound where everyone greets you warmly, knowing you are guests of Karen and Gail. Their home is vast, but cosy, beautifully decorated, with everything you might wish for to cook, bake, relax, and be active. We couldn’t have wished for anything more for a fun packed holiday, enjoying all that the local area offers, all the compound offers and all the home enabled us to do and relax into! The area itself is perfect, the local community and village of Bucerias is (in our opinion) more glorious than Puerta Vallarta, with an abundance of cafes, bars, local food and amenities. This enabled us to feel safe and welcomed in the community, enjoying local delights and sights whilst being only a short taxi from the busy but enjoyable Puerto Vallarta. Being so convenient to the Northern villages from Bucerias enabled us to go hiking, sitting on white sandy beaches near Punta Mita and even more access to things to do. Karen and Gail could not have done more to help us feel settled, ensure we had everything to help us have a wonderful holiday and share their special community and home. Thank you both and can’t wait to host you in a few weeks! -
Wow what a place! We have fell in love with Bucerías and the people there. The home was immaculate and like a designer had a hand in decorating it. We loved our stay and would come back in a heart beat. The way Karen had everything at our fingertips we could need during a stay was very helpful. Even highlighting the best doctor to see at a reasonable rate. The notes she left were great. Having the pool just at your doorstep when you have kids in tow was a real luxury. Great place, great people! -
Aw, thanks Kandes! We are so glad you enjoyed our little piece of paradise. You were our first PLU guests in our Mexican home.
