Your home is exquisite—the view, the open rooms the flow into one another, the pool, and of course the Romantic Zone a stone's throw away. A very large slice of paradise. Thank you for the hospitality; it was full of memories.
Scott & Ellen, San Mateo, CA

Very spacious and lots of great areas. One of the most completely equipped kitchens; wonderful towels and linens plus hair dryers. The pool was great, heated and beautiful for evening lounging. We will be back!
John and Laura, Corpus Christi, TX

Incredible! I    knew the moment we stepped out onto the terrace that we were many steps closer to heaven. The house, flowing design, warm details and beautiful appointments make this truly Casa Contenta. We loved our beach walks to town, shopping, sampling the wonderful restaurants, and watching the people, but we all preferred home – THIS home, for the week!
Bob and Patti, Santa Barbara, CA

We are so relaxed that it is difficult to write and think! We have had a most wonderful time here at Casa Contenta with all of our needs met and then some! The beauty of the home is unsurpassed. Looking out through the arch, the infinity pool to the ocean where it meets the sky, time seems not to matter...a rare phenomenon. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation.
George & Sharon, CA

This home is perfect! We compliment you on doing a wonderful job of decorating.
Casa Contenta is a paradise and we loved everything. Our room couldn’t have been better and the view is a real bonus. We loved our stay here. All dinners were delicious and lunch on top of the mountain at Carmelitas overlooking the city and ocean was fun. Of course, cocktails on the terrace, overlooking the bay were the best.
Wayne & Kay, Palm Desert, CA

We loved the view and location. Don’t miss eating at La Palapa-our favorite.

Many thanks to the owners of Casa Contenta for providing and welcoming us to a lovely home. We really loved Mauri, the house helper, for making some of our meals. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for much R & R. We laid around like toads and ventured out very little. No need to rush off; we were very happy here. Thanks a million.
Eddie E & Heather C., Fort Worth, TX

Thank you so much for having us in your wonderful home. We enjoyed it and Puerto Vallarta very much. Our favorite places in P.V. were El Arrayan for dinner, happy hour at Langostino’s and tacos at La Tequiza. We enjoyed golf and surfing at Punta Mita (call Joe at Tranquilo Surf). Our best memories are of watching the sunset from the terrace and hanging out at the house. We love Mauri-her breakfasts are amazing and she even gave us a cooking lesson. The cooks for dinner were great as well. The house is spectacular-we love looking at the ocean from every room. Every detail, down to the soft towels, in the house is of high quality and well cared for. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we truly hope we can come back to Casa Contenta in the future.

Tofo fue buenissimo! We have enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back. This is a vacation so relaxing, the house is so welcoming and the people so friendly. If we could stay all season we would-we loved it!
Craig & Sue, Lotus, CA

We have always enjoyed PV and to renew after many years with Casa Contenta as our base was just perfect. We looked forward every day to returning from the beach (La Palapa) and enjoying the pool and last rays of sunshine. We plan to return to PV next year and Casa Contenta will be first on our list of places to stay. It is Big and Spacious, and a perfect retreat for the two of us.
Gary & Graciela, Devon, England

We’ve enjoyed our stay very much. We’re visiting from Minocqua, Wisconsin, San Diego and Scottsdale, AZ. In the past week we’ve parasailed and gone deep-sea fishing. The house is gorgeous! So comfortable and homey. We were amazed at how well-equipped the kitchen is. We would all visit Casa Contenta again in a heartbeat!
The Seifert, Roos, Crobie and Sherer Families, Scottsdale, AZ

We had a wonderful week here at Casa Contenta. Such a beautiful and comfortable home. We have been to PV before, but never experienced it like this. Whatever we did—fish, golf, snorkel, walk the beach—it was always so nice to return to Casa Contenta and enjoy the sunset. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise.
Ron & Carolyn, Annapolis, MD

Casa Contenta, a little slice of heaven, is that and more! The pictures on the web were spectacular but nothing compares to sitting on the terrace in person and looking out over the incredible vista of ocean and coastline for as far as the eye can see. What a way to spend our 40th anniversary. It was a truly RELAXING vacation. The accommodations were fabulous, huge rooms decorated beautifully. Our every need was anticipated and met. Toasts to the hosts!
Jim & Patti Shaw, CA

Needless to say, we were blown away by the house, the location, accommodations and attentive service. It all surpassed expectations and above par. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. All of us will return to Casa Contenta. I cannot think of a more perfect way to celebrate my 40th birthday. The house is beyond lovely.

Mauri

We are fortunate to have a wonderful maid/housekeeper whose name in Mauri and all of our visitors rave about her. She cleans, changes bedding and linens when needed and may occasionally cook a breakfast or lunch for you. She even gave a Mexican cooking lesson for one rental party! Mauri does not speak English, but she is learning and she tries! She works from 9-4, Monday through Friday and 9-1 on Saturday. Sunday is her day off when she is home with her husband and three children.

Mercedes

Because we want to keep our home allergy-free, there is No Smoking inside our house or on the terrace. We also do not allow any pets and no children under the age of 10 for safety reasons.

It is important to us that you really enjoy our home, relax and bask in the magic of Puerto Vallarta. We want your visit to be very comfortable, relaxing and fun.
