About this property

Private, Beach Access, Ocean View, Walkable to Town, Daily Maid Service, WiFi!

  • The Carriage House is a beautifully decorated one bedroom, one bathroom apartment located on the property of the famous Villa Estrella Mar. Just minutes from the center of Old Town, Puerto Vallarta in a residential area, a minute to the beach down a long private stairway, the location is hard to beat.

    The beautifully decorated apartment consists of a living room and fully equipped kitchen, a desk in case you need to get any work done during your stay, as well as the bedroom with a king size bed, and ensuite bathroom. There are is a terrace that looks out to the Villa and the Bay and a second enclosed terrace off the bedroom. The best part is, you aren't in a condo complex so you can have complete privacy.

    We make sure to have a few cold drinks available on arrival to start your vacation off right.

    There is daily maid service with staff who will do any laundry free of charge!

    Ask to be connected to our amazing concierge who can assist with booking in unit massages, fun activities, transportation, meal or grocery delivery, you name it!

    Can also be rented with Villa Estrella Mar or Villa Las Puertas to provide additional sleeping for two.

Such a great spot and relatively quiet for PV. The birds were our alarm clock and once up we sat and enjoyed our coffee on the little balcony. So many different coloured butterflies to see! Sunsets were amazing. A/C is a blessing as late afternoon is bright and warm if you happen to be in the suite. Our two and a half weeks flew by!

This rental is beautiful and the staff are awesome. The Carriage house sits above the main guest house, closer to the main road. Expect road noise and vibration from traffic. All staff, house guests and service workers enter and leave the property directly below your balcony. Perfect for additional guests when renting the main house.

We enjoyed our time in Puerto Vallarta and this condo was in a great location...not far from town and walkable if you go to the beach and walk from there. Oscar was absolutely wonderful and helpful when we had questions. The condo was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The housekeeping was fantastic...restocked water and coffee and did some laundry for us when needed. I would only say that there are a lot of stairs to the beach, so just be prepared to walk back up to the condo! We hope to visit again.

Exceptional place! I do not know what I can add to the accurate and well-deserved glowing reviews. It’s wonderful and highly recommended. The everything you need to make yourself at home casita, carriage house offered privacy and quiet only steps away from various beach settings from rugged and rocky shores to hopping night life. There’s also a remarkable book of recommendations from outdoor activities to dining. Last but not least the staff is just amazing.

Great stay!

We loved staying at the Carriage house. It had great access to the beaches, our favorite was walking along the water to Conchas Chinas beach and then stopping back at Amapas beach before heading up the stairs. It was also very relaxing to walk home on the beach after grabbing dinner in town and witnessing all the various festivities happening in PV.

We enjoyed the setting. The house is private with great views, surrounded by beautiful vegetation. The staff are great. The free daily laundry service is wonderful! The only downside is the crazy amount of steps to/from the beach. You need to be in moderately good shape to navigate thateasily

The absolute BEST place to stay!!!

We love staying in this area! We’ve been 4 other times with: children, grandparents, and friends, but this is the first time that we have stayed in Amapas as a couple. There couldn’t be a better place than this. Incredibly close to every place you wanna be! Wonderful Mexican decor. Super quiet (it’s nice being on the downhill side of the highway). Also, very safe and affordable. They were very responsive, but also gave us our privacy. We will 100% stay here again. It was truly an amazing vacation, and it had a lot to do with.the lodging.

Excellent location

Beautiful small villa in a very walkable location. The daily cleaning and laundry service were very nice amenities. The only downside is the noise from the Villa next door and from the construction during the day that started early. Also the furniture is beautiful but just not comfortable for lounging or even having dinner in the Villa.

Lovely, peaceful stay near PV's highlights

The Carriage House was a lovely and very comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of town, yet close enough to easily walk along Playa de Los Muertes into the Romantic Zone for restaurants and sightseeing. We really enjoyed the small, relatively quiet beach at the foot of the private stairway. However, we didn't check out the waterfront walkway south of the beach until our last day; it's well worthwhile exploring as well. Staff were very friendly and always on hand as needed for questions and help. Laundry service was greatly appreciated! One caution: Be careful to keep any food/fruit in cupboards or the refrigerator. A saucy squirrel entered the suite several times during our stay and even helped itself to a banana and mango left on the counter! Thanks for the lovely stay, Jordan and Villa staff!

Well maintained, clean great perks. Noisy due to highway & above parking area

We stayed in the Carriage House for two weeks.The Carriage House is as described in the photos, it is clean & well maintained. The staff were efficient, friendly, daily maid & laundry service was a fantastic perk. Water, ground coffee, beer & soft drinks were provided upon our arrival. Water was replenished each day. The bedroom is huge with two closets, a safe, a king sized comfortable bed, side tables with lights and an ensuite. Soap, shampoo/ conditioner was provided. The Villa provides a night security personnel that walks around the grounds. The area around the Villa felt safe. The following are some things that we would have liked to know prior to renting: The Carriage House is situated in the Villa’s parking area, so therefore you will hear cars & delivery/ garage trucks coming & going, people/ staff walking & talking, laundry machines below could be heard operating at night. While in the House with the windows open, you can hear the nearby highway traffic easily. Sound travels easily within the unit. The living room furniture is clean and comfortable but they are not loungers. The staircase down to the beach is as described by other reviewers. There are two gates with codes to enter & exit the staircase for security. There are light switches at the top of the staircase to activate if you are returning to the property in the dark. The pathway to the beach & town is well lit. Oxo stores with 8 minute walk.

Staff is amazing. Place is clean and very quiet at night. The bed is good. It’s about 100 steps down to the beach-not too bad. Once you are down there it is easy to walk to Romantic Zone and Malecon. I traveled solo and felt very safe. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are staying in the Carriage house you do not have access to the pool. Over-all I highly recommend this place, especially if you want a quiet nights rest.
