Our property:
Villa Pura Vida PV is part of a private, small gated complex. There are 2 free-standing 5 bedroom homes in the complex as well as 3 villas which share one structure. Villa Pura Vida PV is the middle unit in the 3 villa structure - one per floor, and as shown has its own private entrance, private infinity pool, palapa bar and parking - no shared or common spaces.

To get to the villa, guests enter thru a private gate (access codes are provided at check-in). There is a somewhat steep driveway from the gate to the top of the driveway where the villas is located. Property entrances like this are common for places overlooking the Romantic Zone and Banderas Bay, as that's how you get these incredible views. Ubers & taxis are readily plentiful and used to hills and driveways. At the height of the rainy season (Aug to Sept), we can recommend experienced drivers who are most skilled at navigating the driveway if wet.

Villa Pura Vida PV sits above Los Muertos Beach, Almar Resort, Mantamar Beach Club and Blue Chairs and features amazing nightly sunsets and many firework shows. The view is breathtaking and you can see across to Punta Mita to Sayulita to Nuevo Vallarta to the Romantic Zone all the way to the beginning of Conchas Chinas. It's truly one of the best and most expansive views in PV.

The villa is fully air conditioned and features 7 split AC units with one in each bedroom and 4 others located throughout the main living area. There are also ceiling fans in each bedroom and additional fans throughout the villa living spaces. There is a wonderful cross breeze which runs thru the villa as the large double front door & all of the large glass doors on the side and patio area can be opened to enjoy the breeze.

Unique features:
*180 degree views including year round sunset views. Many places in PV have views, but they are dead ahead or 90 degree views so you can't see the sunset many months and don't get the unobstructed expansive view you can see of Punta Mita all the way to the Romantic Zone to Los Muertos Beach and to the beginning of Conchas Chinas.
*Newly remodeled large private heated infinity pool with a fountain, LED lighting & separate pool sitting area to take in the views. Some places in PV only have "splash or community" pools. Here you get your own exclusive private infinity pool. Note that the pool is heated during the winter season at 86 degrees (Dec to mid Apr) and the heating costs are included in your stay. Outside of this timeframe, pool heat is typically not needed, but it's available if requested for $50/day.
*Your own palapa bar with refrigerator and sink. This is a great area for breakfast, remote work, happy hour and sunsets.
*Being in a small, private gated complex. This is very unique in PV as most of the developments are large hotel-like condos with lots of shared common spaces with competition for pool chairs, very crowded and small balconies/patios.
*A very large space - both indoors and outdoors. Most 3 BR places in PV have a "flexible" 3rd bedroom with a thin wall that's part of a living room and has a small bedding option. Villa Pura Vida PV offers 3 large King bedrooms, all ensuite (#3 bathroom can be used as main/guest bathroom or just ensuite) and 2 with views. Bedroom #3 faces the jungle. There is also an air mattress available for a 7th person.
*At 4,700 sq ft of indoor/outdoor living space, Villa Pura Vida PV is definitely one of the largest of its kind in PV. The kitchen is quite large and open with an island and pantry with washer and dryer. The dining room has seating for 6 with great views (can add two chairs from the bedrooms for dining for 8) and is filled with light. There are two areas in the living room to relax. One by the 75" Smart TV with couch, love seat and arm chair. The other sitting area has 3 comfy overstuffed leather arm chairs. Both areas have large floor to ceiling glass doors to give you that truly PV indoor/outdoor life style.
*The patio offers several options for seating/enjoyment. There is seating for 4 at the covered palapa bar, seating for another 6-7 on the outdoor furniture + 4 lounge chairs by the pool. There's also a huge umbrella which can shade portions of the pool, seating area or add additional privacy where needed.
*There's a BBQ on the patio to enjoy as well.

Access:
All spaces are accessible and private for the guests. There are no shared spaces including the private infinity pool and palapa bar areas.

The hosts:
Hello and welcome to Villa Pura Vida PV for your "Pure Life" experience at our villa. Myself and my co-host Michael live in San Diego and often in PV, so we are available for any questions or needs you have during your stay. In addition, our local team is available to support you during your stay.

Parking and transportation:
Private parking in front of the Villa for up to 4 vehicles. Taxis and Ubers are plentiful in the area and recommended for nighttime and for those who are not comfortable walking up/down hills.

Discounts:
Villa Pura Vida PV offers both weekly and monthly discounts for those looking for longer stays. VRBO will display the discounts as part of the overall price for the stay.

Preparing for your stay:
We'll ask you to complete a short form to help us get ready for your stay.

Community guidelines:
We kindly ask you to respect the following during your stay! The Villa is in a quiet area of PV so it's important to respect the community guidelines, while still enjoying your stay. We appreciate it!

**No smoking or vaping in the Villa ($300 charge for extra cleaning if found)
**No parties or events
**No commercial photography without approval
**Quiet hours are from 11 pm to 8 am

Extra service costs provided by the Villa:
There's an extra fee of $50/night for the 7th guest which is calculated in the VRBO costs at the time of the booking.

Additional grocery shopping trips cost $500 pesos for each trip.

Optional pool heat costs $50/day outside of the high season (Dec to mid-April) where it's included in the rental price.

We try to accommodate requests for early check-in or late check out as best as we can depending on the Villa rental schedule. If available, we do not charge for arriving 2 hours early (1 pm check-in) or departing 2 hours late (1 pm check out). If requesting an earlier or later check-in/check out beyond this 2 hour window, please ask us for pricing as it will depend on the season and the number of additional hours needed for the stay.

Families with young children:
We have hosted many families with young children & infants, but it should be noted although there are secure railings around the patio and main bedroom, there are large gaps between the railings so caution is required. The pool is not gated, so families with young children should be aware of this potential risk. There are a few steps up to enter into the pool and several steps going down into the pool so caution is recommended.

Accessibility:
For those with mobility limitations, the villa is on one level and very roomy so easy to move around. The main bedroom and bathroom are quite large and spacious and the bathroom offers a large walk-in shower. The "Alexis" bathroom also has a walk-in shower, although smaller in size.

Large tourist vans and Sprinter vans will not fit under the covered driveway area so folks with mobility limitations using these type of van services will need to walk up/down or be wheel chaired up/down a short cobblestone paved area (15-20 feet) to reach the villa. Suburban type of vehicles will fit in the covered parking area along with typical Uber, Taxis & rental cars.

Let us know if you have any guests with limited mobility or other concerns as we're happy to recommend some options to help.
