About this villa rental
🏠 Welcome to Casa La Copa de Oro, nestled between the charming towns of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and Bucerias in Mexico! Just a short 25-minute drive (taxi ride) from PVR airport, our oceanfront Villa offers the perfect blend of traditional Mexican design with a touch of conveniences. Here you will take in a simpler life… if you are lucky you will enjoy sites of some of the largest iguanas, relax with sounds of local chickens (a Roster or 2) in the area and maybe… just maybe a donkey or two, a horse here and there walking on the streets. You will be able to find a little getaway of escape with us. As, our Villa is nested of the beaten path… yet close enough for a short taxi ride to either Bucerias or La Cruz within a 3-5 minute taxi ride.
Once you step into our casa, you will be greeted by an updated kitchen. Accommodating up to 8 guests across three bedrooms, our spacious traditional Mexican retreat promises relaxation and enjoyment on the shores of Banderas Bay away from the Hustle of normal life.
With a private pool and direct beach access, you can unwind against the backdrop of the famous Banderas Bay with view in the distance of the surrounding pueblos (towns). Explore the 25-mile coastline, discovering hidden gems and unspoiled beaches to the North, or take a leisurely stroll to Bucerias or La Cruz's marina when tide is low.
Experience the vibrant culture and atmosphere of "traditional Mexico" with a dash of todays conveniences in the Mexican Riviera.
In La Cruz, shop at the outdoor fish and farmers market or sip drinks while watching sailboats come and go.
To the south, the bustling town of Bucerias awaits, offering a plethora of restaurants, boutiques, and authentic Mexican cuisine. Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in handmade tacos or sample churros from the Centro de Bucerias, just a short taxi ride away.
Whether you prefer taxi services or renting a car, exploring the Bay of Banderas is an experience of a lifetime. Please note that our small neighborhood, the Tizate Villas, consists of seven villas. Local laws require the yard and concrete path to be shared common areas for villa guests to access the beach, so feel free to use the steps at the seawall to access the beaches and bay.
We invite you to make memories at Casa La Copa de Oro, where the sun, sand, and sea await your arrival! 🌴☀️🌊

We loved our stay at Casa la Oro! Excellent and quick communication with both Branden and Jessica. The pool is heated to a perfectly warm temperature which allowed for evening swims. Iguanas & hummingbirds visited us daily in the yard and saw turtles in the mornings from the patio set while sipping coffee and catching the stunning sunrises. You can walk along the beach and even swim right outside the backyard, water shoes are recomended. The casa is equipped with ample towels & linens. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Only used the AC 1 day and it worked great. We didn't cook much but used the brand new grill 1 evening (could not find grill tools or cleaning brush however so had to use elbow grease). We did experience a power outage for a few hours one evening and could not find any battery operated lanterns or flashlights. It would have been nice to have a kit that is easily accessible and clearly labelled and stocked for such instances as the neighbours indicated this is a common occurance. This small inconvenience is my only critique. We were not bothered by the roosters as we found if all doors are closed, including the bathroom door it really drowns out the noise. The internet can be spotty but that was not a problem for us. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again and recommend to family & friends. Thank you Branden and Jessica!

Communication with the host and property manager was smooth and accurate - we had no unexpected surprises upon arrival. The house was just as expected - only more enchanting to actually BE there, poolside, looking over the ocean! We felt relaxed and comfortable with the accommodations and appreciated Jessica’s thorough check in and attention to any questions we asked about recommendations for food and activities while there. This trip was to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and relax with family and it didn’t disappoint - coffee, beer, or mimosas poolside while the kids splashed in the pool, then walks on the beach … all possible OUT THE BACK DOOR! Access to numerous beaches, golfing, restaurants, and spas was within minutes of a drive. And if we didn’t want to eat out, the kitchen is wonderfully equipped for dining in! This was a trip worth repeating! Thank you!!!

The view from Casa la Oro is gorgeous!! We loved watching the sunrises from the balcony and the backyard. Jesica was great! The landscapers locked us out a couple times and she was available both and came to let us in the house. Branden was easy to be reach at and very friendly.Neighborhood felt very safe and a lot of restaurants nearby. We loved the house and location. Overall, we had a great experience and can’t wait to be back!

We booked the property for a vacation with family of 6. Owner was always great and responsive during communication and also when we requested a couple of additional days.
Check in and departure were exceptional with property manager Jesica. She was also very responsive and accommodating. She even helped us with a great Mexican dinner one night as a chef friend of hers was in town!
Positives:
-Big unit with lots of room in quiet neighborhood
-1 room, 1 bath and the kitchen have been renovated
-property manager and owner are great
-wifi was good for mexican standards but poor range upstairs
-great sunrise
-sounds of waves in 2 of the bedrooms at night
-ceiling fans and a/c were great
-bedding and sheets were great
-overall cleanliness was good
Negatives:
-rest of unit needs renovated, unit showing it's age
-southeast facing so no sunsets and not much sun at pool from mid afternoon on
-transportation can be painful if relying on cab, the street leading in doesn't have a name
-hot water was hit and miss
-roosters close by in neighbors compound wake you up
Overall for the price, i'd be looking somewhere else...I know it's tough to find a decent place for a family of 6. This suits the need but would be better at a lower price.
I'd rate it as a 3 star property with potential of 4 if all renovations complete. The area is a 3 star because of the transportation issues and roosters. The property owner and manager 5 star for great communications and accommodations of our needs.
