Ocean View Condo with Beach Access | Faro de Mita

The property was well kept and beautiful. The only negative was that one of the three bedrooms was not air conditioned. I felt that should have been explained in the description. Otherwise, I highly recommend the rental.

This place checks all the boxes!

This is a beautiful and spacious condo with amazing views of the pool and ocean just steps beyond the property. We loved the sliding glass doors that bring the outdoors in and open up your patio to the sights and sounds of Punta Mita! Our family with 2 small children stayed and the kids loved the toddler wading pool area. Also the bunk bed room even though it was kind of smashed into a laundry room area. We loved venturing down to the beach, however it is very rocky at this area of the shore. There were lots of surfers at El Anclote but not good for little kids that want to play in the water and sand. Most days we walked 10 minutes to the opposite side of town to the sandy and beautiful Punta de Mita public beach. If we come back to this area we would likely look at staying on the other side of town where the beach is much nicer for families. There were some issues with the dryer but it was fixed promptly within a few days. This caused lots of people to be in and out of our room during the kids naptimes. Also I am a light sleeper and could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around, opening/closing doors and dragging furniture after we had gone to bed for the night and before I was ready to be awake in the morning. It didn't affect our kid's sleep thankfully though. All in all it is a great spot to call home to explore the Nayarit peninsula! We did a daytrip up to San Pancho and went to watch baby turtles be released for free, this was definitely the highlight of our trip!

We loved our stay at this Faro de Mita condo!! The grounds were beautiful and relaxing. It’s not a party scene, rather there were a few families and a number of retired couples who come here regularly. Very sweet people. Over the weekend there’s a different vibe and it does get busier but the weekdays were super relaxing. The grounds are kept up very well. It’s a short walk to the beach out front but this is not a beach we wanted to hang out at. We enjoyed Destiladeros beach which is a ~15 min car ride south. It’s open, big and mellow for water play. My husband did take our kids surfing to the beach out front, so it’s good for long boarding. We SO appreciated having use of two long boards and a boogie board at the condo! My husband took a boat a little north to surf bigger waves of the tip, closer to the St. Regis property. We loved being a close driving distance to many places, like sayulita and la Cruz for the farmers market on Sunday. We also loved being able to walk to shops for supplies and walk to restaurants. The property manager, Ana, was so helpful and had awesome restaurant and activity tips. Thank you Ana! She was quick to respond when we let her know one of the AC units was leaking lots of water and unusable. It was fixed in a day and a half.I will warn those looking to stay that there were 3 downsides to staying here that could be easily fixed and hopefully they’ll do so. We’d love to return one day if so! The water temp in both showers is not controllable. As in most of the time it’s either scalding hot OR freezing cold. The friendly handyman, Moises just told us the water heaters are small here but we were pretty confident that wasn’t the problem since it would go from cold to burning hot at times. Ana mentioned she would have a plumber come when we kept up our feedback, so hopefully this will be taken care of! Another thing to be prepared for is doing dishes frequently because there was only 5 dinner sized plates I think. There is also no baking sheet or any dish that was oven safe so you can’t cook in the oven. Lastly the bunk room has a fan, as do all the rooms, which is great for when you don’t want AC, but the fan is above the top bunk so it’s extremely dangerous. We had to leave the fan/light off if there were any people in the room so as to avoid our kids being seriously injured by the fan should they climb to the top bunk. These are just things to be aware of. We would stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality Ana!
