Casa del Pescador

How can the Cota Family describe there vacation at Casa del Pescador?  It was AWESOME.  From arriving at the airport--the sign with our name from Gecko Car Rental, arrival at the house--everything was wonderful.

Marilyn, even though we never met you, all the information you sent us by e-mail was great.  We, as a family, cannot express the wonderful time we had.

For my mother who is 84, this trip brought many wonderful memories because my Mom and Dad traveled a lot and Puerto Vallarta was one of their favorite places--from the Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor era.

My wife enjoyed the privacy of having her own pool and being able to walk on the beach and pick shells.  My son  and I enjoyed the golf at El Tigre.

Basically, we were in vegetation mode and it was so relaxing.  Usually we come back from vacation and we are tired.  We came back from Casa del Pescador relaxed and happy!

We would like to come back when the whales have migrated into Banderas Bay--please let us know when that would be.

We have not stop talking to our friends about our vacation.  If you need referrals, please have people call me.

We have enjoyed our stay immensely.   I painted two water colors of the beautiful views as we had  wonderful clear days with beautiful warm sea breezes.

The accommodation is well thought out and we appreciate the little “extras” of Boogie Boards and pool floats as well as the well stocked kitchen. 

The staff are top notch--the property manager, the gardeners, the pool man and the security guards are all so friendly!   It makes us want to return many, many times and we plan to make reservations for another vacation here--after all, the physical accommodation may be duplicated, but the wonderful help we have received and sincere concern makes all the difference.

What a great house!.  I never want to leave--it’s so beautiful!   We spent our days looking for seashells, running the beach, searching for and finding beach glass.  Swimming in the pool was pure heaven!

Great care, wonderful service at Gecko Car Rental.  Denis is great!

I don’t want to say goodbye to our holiday time.  So I’ll say "I’ll be back".

As our wonderful week in your awesome casa comes to a close, I found myself wiping tears from my eyes as leaving here saddens me.

We will definitely be back.  What we will miss most--waking up and having coffee on the terrace as we watch the amazing view of the morning sun as it glistens on the ocean,  drinking mucho margaritas in the Mexican sunshine and the nightly walks on the beach.  It has been an adventure I will always remember.  We will return, that is a promise! 

Adios amigos, muchas gracias

We are leaving today after enjoying ourselves for an exceptional week.  The home is so welcoming and so easy to live in and relax.  The swimming pool is marvelous for young children--and grandparents.  The weather is gorgeous!

The property manager is truly a gift--arranging for a “Spiderman Man” piñata for Joey's 6th birthday and arranged a catered dinner on Thanksgiving--a Spanish feast!  We truly appreciate it.

Hope we can all come again--maybe for 2 weeks next time!

Thank you so much for the very best--and most interesting holiday!

From Taco Night in La Cruz to the market in Bucerias, sunsets at Destiladeras, snorkeling in Punta de Mita and the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, it couldn't have been any better!

What a tropical paradise!  Sometimes you feel you need to pinch yourself to know that it's all real.  All the staff were A-I!

I don’t know what we would have done without our own private pool--we are spoiled for anything less!

Thanks again for opening your home to us.

Where do we start!  Your home, the view, the culture and the people really completed our trip.  We loved waking up every morning to the crashing waves, warm sunshine and the smell of the ocean.

The people in the area were the most helpful, friendly and happy go lucky.  They really made our trip enjoyable!  The staff, especially the security guards, are so friendly and they made it their duty to give us their best smile every morning.  They taught us some Spanish and we taught them some more English.

Lastly, we would like to mention Denis and Adam at Gecko Car Rental were amazing with their suggestions on were to eat and places to see.

Overall this trip was more than amazing and we could not have asked for more.  Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.  Marilyn was an enormous help and without her out trip would not have been possible.  We can't thank her enough!

I just LOVE
spending my vacation
  at Casa del Pescador
                          

 

The house was wonderful and the property manager was very helpful.  The canopy tour was heart stopping--but a beautiful ride.

Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Thank you so much for opening your home to us!  The house was lovely, the weather was perfect, and the service was wonderful!

We have never taken this type of vacation before--renting a villa as opposed to staying in a hotel--and we were a little nervous about how everything would go.  Let me tell you...it was terrific!  Thank you, thank you!!

We can’t speak highly enough about Lettie and Jesus.  The food they prepared was delicious-- especially the shrimp which we had them prepare twice!!

Thank you again for everything.  We all had a beautiful time and simply cannot wait to plan our return trip.

One last family swim in the pool then we are reluctantly getting ready to end our vacation.  This is such a great house with a wonderful view and it’s provided a wonderful place to spend a much needed vacation. 

We made so many memories--snorkeling at Los Arcos, fishing, renting a kayak from Punta de Mita, riding a “banana” at Yelapa, "Swimming with the Dolphins" at Dolphin Adventures and just hanging out around the pool. 

We enjoyed lots of great shrimp, guacamole, and pico de gallo to name just a few of the things we pigged out on over the past six days.  Hidden Paradise was a favorite with its breathtaking view.  We’ll miss the sound of the ocean waves and the chirping of the geckos when we return home to reality tomorrow. 

Thanks for sharing your home with us, and many thanks to Marilyn for working so hard to make our stay enjoyable.  We hope to return someday!

 Muchas Gracias!

This was our 5th trip to the area and our best vacation ever.  Many thanks to Marilyn who was wonderful and who truly made this a “vacation” for us. 

Thank you for opening your home to us “strangers from Los Angeles” as it is truly a comfy and welcoming home.  We have treated it with the love and care we would our own. 

The guys went fishing and caught a few fish which we BBQ’d for dinner.  We spent a morning in La Cruz and had dinner both Saturday and Sunday at Jorge’s Tacos--Awesome!  Letty and Jesus cooked a dinner for us--such decadence and yummy food!  What nice people they are. 

A true family week spent swimming and having fun with the kids.  Of course, the guys also had to slip in a game of golf as well.  We will miss the sounds of the ocean.

Marilyn, thank you so much for all the help and the information for our great trip.  Everything was nicer than we expected and even better than the pictures on the website.

We will be back--but not soon enough!  Thanks again for all your help.

Casa del Pescador is a wonderful home!  Thank you for letting us spend our 1st Anniversary here. 

Your home is in a great location, with so many things to do.  We went into Puerto Vallarta several days, visited San Pancho, Sayulita, Punta Mita, Nuevo Vallarta and many spots in between.  We hope to be back again and spend another week or longer. 

Both Marilyn and the property manager were great! 

Thank you again!

Our last day--I hate to leave!  It was like spending a week in Paradise.  The house, the view, the peacefulness was much more than I expected.  We’ll be back.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home in paradise with us! 

We have had so much fun, seen so much, bought apparently too much and are very saddened to have to go home.  We hope to be back soon.

Thanks so much.

We have exhausted all of our supplies, laughed until we have no more tears and destroyed our livers!  Many amazing memories in an amazing place with amazing friends.  We are already planning our trip back and we haven’t left yet! 

We can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us!

Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home, it was all we had hoped for and more. 

We rented a car and put lots of miles on it exploring up the coast--the little towns to the north are great.  We especially loved Don Pedro’s in Sayulita.  While we ate a wonderful dinner we watched a dog surfing with his master--it was incredible.  Also loved the Hidden Paradise restaurant down the beach.  The boy who waited on us there said that at night he and his brother dive in the bay to get the lobsters.  We can vouch for the fact that they are very fresh and delicious! 

Fantastic people and a wonderful place to come home to--just an outstanding vacation.

Most sincerely,

Katie & Mark

P.S. Marilyn is great and was very helpful.
 

 

When we talked our friends into coming to La Puntilla, we promised them a small piece of Paradise.  They came…they saw…they experienced…and now they too believe!  We love your home and thank you for being so generous to rent it to us! 

Everyone here really makes us feel welcome.  We intend to book through Marilyn for next year as soon as we get back.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience with us.  The house, the vistas, the restaurants, shopping and people were all so wonderful.  It was truly one of the best weeks of my life.  I hope to return with family and other friends who have never had the opportunity to see such beauty nor experience small town Mexico.

Thank you.

What paradise!  Absolutely gorgeous!  We would have never believed traveling with a 6 month old baby could be so easy.  You have a great home here, thank you so much for sharing it with us.  A dream vacation come true!

Thank you for letting me stay at Casa del Pescador.  I had so much fun lounging in your pool and traveling to all our favorite places up and down the Bay of Banderas.  Even though I am only 4 1/2 months old, I did a lot here and I am looking forward to coming back again.

Mucho Gracious!

Where do we begin?  From the planning stages of our vacation you have made this a very pleasant experience.  The website, your recommendations and organization along with a few phone calls to Marilyn we felt confident about our trip.  But then when we arrived!  Breathtaking!  Absolutely fantastic! 

We are a family that spent seven beautiful days together, exploring the beautiful area, meeting wonderful people and visiting the beaches you recommended.  Our favorite--Sayulita...beautiful, quieter, sandy beach..... wonderful restaurant where you can rent tables and chairs and the best guacamole in the world.  From bogie boarding to snorkeling--visit Oscar in Punta de Mita--he will take you to coves and places you would never get to!  We only touched on our adventure here and as we understand from home, an April snowstorm awaits us, but somehow it is okay!

WOW!!  We did it all!  Hair braiding, parasailing, shopping, buying, the beaches, the boggie boads!  Collecting shells and stones and so much more! Thank you!!  Carlos O'Briens--Good Lord!  Wall to wall people-!  We found the beautiful restaurants--sunsets at La Palapa, none better!  Thank you!

Thank you for opening your beautiful Paradise home to us and allowing us to take home some beautiful family memories.

One problem we may have is finding a margarita or mango daiquiri in the afternoon!  Mucho gracias!  Adios!

As we pack to leave our week in Paradise we wish to thank you for this time in your lovely home!  Everything was fabulous!  Your accommodations were excellent!  We love the non-touristy vacation....The Mango Grill & Hector Lopez was one of our favorites.  Catching a bus or a cab to Bucerias was a frequent trip too!  Everyone was friendly and with no more Spanish than "Hola" and "Gracious" we did pretty good in communicating.  It was a great, great trip!  Mucho Gracious!!

We spent a wonderful near-week with our grown children and participated in a large wedding celebration with old friends.  Our third visit to the Puerto Vallarta area and the best--due in no small part to finding your lovely home--very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.

Due to a temporary power outage from a lightening storm I am writing our "thank you" to you by candlelight.  Our last day was spent at the beach in Punta Mita, one of our favorite destinations in our 15 years of coming to Puerto Vallarta.  Truly enjoyed the solitude, pool, beach and comforts of home during our week stay at Casa del Pescador.  Sad to say it ends tomorrow!

Our pleasant stay in your lovely home only adds to our desire to buy and live here-- hopefully a dream we will fulfill soon.  In the meantime, we'll return to our own condo yearly and look forward to extending our trip by staying again in your beautiful home.

Many thanks for a wonderful vacation.

What a fabulous 10 days we have spent here in your lovely home!  We are celebrating my 40th birthday and let me tell you that 40 feels terrific here!  We had a great time. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home with us--we took extra special care of it during our stay.  If you ever make it to Michigan, we would love to return the favour and share our home with you!

We have had a great week staying in your beautiful home--it is very comfortable. We enjoyed jumping in the pool several times a day to cool off.  We explored the beach at low tide and out went to the beaches at Punta de Mita as well. Had a great time here this winter.

Hope to see you in Victoria in the spring. Thanks again!
