DEAR GUESTS, Regarding the well publicized incident in Puerto Vallarta in March, I wanted to address any concerns prospective guests may have, my note follows. *Last week, at the end of March, as the owner of Casa Montaña, I was at our villa in Puerto Vallarta and as I expected, the town was back to it's normal funloving self. The Cartel problem did not involve tourists or locals. It was a one day event which ended quickly. No one was hurt or injured. Visitors are never threatened. In my 20 years of being in Vallarta, often alone, I have never encountered any problem whatsoever. Puerto Vallarta is a safe town. If you ask any local, you will be told precisely the same thing. It didn't help that the media along with the fake AI images completely distorted the situation. For someoneone outside of Vallarta, it did appear worrisome. Understandably, we have had some cancellations, consequently, we have lowered our nightly rates for the spring and summer months. In addition, with a 5 night booking, we are offering a 6th night free.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a furnished patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

The most amazing villa ever. The second we walked in we never wanted to leave. So comfy and spacious! Maria was amazing and made us excellent breakfast daily. We were able to arrange excursions easily. The view from all the patios was sensational.The walk to the beach or zone romantica is steep and a little treacherous with blind turns and speeding cars but Ubers and taxis are very affordable and easy to get!

Wonderful place to stay for 2 couples or a small family. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms that are identical, and beautiful, as well as private balconies. The primary has a very large seating area with nice views, the secondary bedroom has the best cure in the house. The pool is well maintained, clean, and the perfect temp, they also provide pfd’s to use. Maria was kind and prepared fresh coffee and a light breakfast every day. She cleaned up our messes from the day before, and was just a delight to be around. I would definitely say here again!We did try to go to the bar/ restaurant across the street, it looked like it has one of the best bite of the sunset in all of PV, but they didn’t have a server at the time we went. Go here, you will love the Mexican charm of this Casa!

What a beautiful villa! Location is perfect, nicer area of PV, but less than 10min to all the action. Absolutely loved it, we will be back for sure! Maria and Moises are awesome too! We felt very pampered. I’d suggest renting a car, much better experience getting to see more of PV on your own time and schedule. No issues with driving anywhere in PV. Thanks guys for a very memorable 25th anniversary! Maria made us a special dinner and decorated the house….very affordable service!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
