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.

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!

Beautiful, private property in perfect location

The Carriage House did not disappoint-it is exactly how it is represented in photos. The staff was very welcoming yet allowed us our privacy. From the moment we stepped onto the property, Arturo was there to let us in and show us where everything was (and made himself available throughout our stay). Oscar was beyond accommodating, answering our questions immediately and constantly bringing us cold drinks! The daily laundry service was a blessing; I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to not have to do laundry upon our return home. Magali cleaned daily, brought us plenty of fresh towels, and even turned paper towels and toilet paper into little works of art. The property is located in a quiet cul de sac off of Calle Santa Barbara. We had zero issues with excessive noise, and it was particularly peaceful at night, even with a party at the Villa. Access to Amapas and Conchas Chinas beaches was easy, and the location gives you the best of both worlds...an easy walk into town via the beach or 200, yet far away enough from the city for quiet nights. Uber rides were cheap, and we had everything we needed for our stay...all appliances worked and it is the perfect space for two people. The A/C worked well. We visit PV every year and have never felt unsafe anywhere that we have stayed, but The Carriage House felt exceptionally secure with Arturo on duty at night and the security gate in front of the stairwell to the apartment that locks. We will definitely be back!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful location with amazing views

My only complaint is that I could not stay longer. I loved the Villa Estrella Mar carriage house. It is in a prime location with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. I loved all the detail and art in the house. The staff on the property were friendly and genuine. The views were magnificent and the grounds were manicured. Lots of flowers and birds. Please do your research of the area and read all the reviews. PV is a loud area. It is a lively, loud culture and there is construction everywhere during the day. There are also a lot of stairs in my favorite neighborhoods and rentals. This is part of the charm for me. I am looking forward to my next visit!
