Beachfront private house

This was our 4th visit to La Cruz over the past 30 years, once visiting friends with a beachfront home, twice on our boat anchored off the beach, and this time renting the beachfront house, Casa Tiburon. Other than the development of the marina, La Cruz has not changed much. It's still a sleepy village with dusty cobblestone streets, a few small restaurants and not much else. Casa Tiburon is a cozy gem, true to its VRBO pictures, well located above the La Cruz family beach and only a few steps from the new marina and it's thriving fish market. The house itself is well laid out with 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen and comfortable living/dining area. Outdoors there are 3 gathering areas; above the pool, around the pool and down some stairs on a small lawn area with a shady palapa. We were there over the Christmas holiday week and the weather was sunny and around 80 degrees. With the slight ocean breeze we had little need for AC. The unheated pool was refreshing once you took the plunge and got used to it. We had a rental car so visited the surrounding towns of Sayulita, San Pancho, Punta Mita as well as Puerto Vallarta while there. However, if one is looking to just relax in the sun, the pool and beach location of this unit should fit the bill.

This place has a lot of things going for it. Nice well furnished house for us three couples. Well stocked for your arrival. Lots of the basics were there like spices, coffee, coffee filters some condiments. There was even cold beer in the fridge. Maybe left by the last folks who stayed there but muchly appreciated? Beautiful view of bay. One of the best locations in town. Sunday Market at your door step, daily fish market 1/2 block away, all day sun, sometimes the music would trickle at night from the Oso's. Spent hours watching the yachts and fishing boats come into and out of the marina. All the appliances appeared fairly new. One of the fastest coffee maker around for those who need that quick shot of caffeine in the am. The washer and dryer were simple to operate. Beds were great. La Cruz has some very good restaurants that we did not expect. You will not be sorry for going there. Don't miss out on the smoked Marlin next door, made great tacos from it. If I had to be picky a better explanation of how to get bottled water delivered. Overall I would go back in a flash.....Orest

We had a wonderful stay at the house - the only complaint is the pool was way too cold to use. I don't recall the listing noting that the pool was not heated.

The pool, house and and view were just lovely. Would recommend noting that there is no air conditioning in the main part of the house, but there is a/c in the bedrooms.
