Check out Hacienda Patrizia Bucerias. I believe owners are Canadians. Never been but a friend highly recommends this place. https://www.facebook.com/Hacienda-Patrizia-306817019351927/

Holy amazing! A bit beyond our budget but I will dream well tonight!

Love PV and the colonial old town. Real Mexico. I know people who have stayed down that way but not sure about beach access. We never ever stay in a resort. Always a great rental south of the river.
Jeannett
I hate resorts and the same people bellied up to the bar and at breakfast every day. Bored to tears laying by the pool. We are off to La Manzanilla Friday for 5 weeks. 45 mins north of Manzanillo. Tons of great houses to rent and the best beach in the pacific coast. 4K flat walkable and calm waters. Tons of great little restaurants and shops. Locals live here. No resorts or hotels. Quite a few Canadians live full time or for a few months in winter. We kayak every day and eat 20p fish tacos on the beach. Super chill. Hire a cook and cleaner and make your own darn Margs or hang out at a beach palapa restaurant and drink there for 50p each. More fun. The water is so calm and swimmable. Leave your bags at your table. All safe.

I found the temp of water along that coast much cooler than the other side.
Jeannett
Water is special on east yes yes but Cancun is an American made mad house of resorts and ugly tourists. Playa has gotten so so busy too. To each their own
Cheryl
Jeannett agree! Went many times, but last 4 years have been in Belize Islands which are also getting Americanized. I enjoyed Roatan Honduras, but not on the days the ship comes in. Lots of natural areas left so far.
Melanie
I suggest staying a wee bit out of PV and renting a place in Buecerias. You can head to Sayalita from there and in and out of PV quite easily. There are beautiful vacation homes there. Not sure about the staff part though, you'd have to look at the write ups, sorry!
Jeannett
Sayulita has gone mad. 3 Oxxo in the last 2 years. Bars in every corner. The sewers overflow at Xmas from too many people. The beaches have gotten super busy and there are vendors at you every 30 seconds. We had stayed there 3 times and were so sad when we last did a day trip Feb 2015. Not the cute place it used to be.
Melanie
oh noooo, that's terrible to hear. I hope Bucerias hasn't become like that too!
Jeannett
Melanie don't think it has the surfer appeal and reputation of Sayulita

Planning a Winter Getaway to Puerto Vallarta
Are you dreaming of a sunny getaway next winter? Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, might be the perfect destination for you! This beautiful coastal city offers something for everyone, from stunning beaches and lush jungles to vibrant culture and delicious food.
If you're planning a trip to Puerto Vallarta, one of the best ways to experience all that the city has to offer is by renting a vacation home. There are many great vacation rental options available in Puerto Vallarta, including houses, condos, and villas. Many of these rentals come with amenities such as pools, hot tubs, and private balconies.
One of the benefits of renting a vacation home is that you can have more space and privacy than you would at a hotel. You'll also have the freedom to cook your own meals, set your own schedule, and come and go as you please.
If you're looking for a vacation rental with staff, there are many options available. Many of these rentals come with housekeepers, cooks, and even butlers. This can be a great way to relax and enjoy your vacation without having to worry about the details.
Another benefit of renting a vacation home is that you can often get a better value than you would at a hotel. Vacation rentals are typically priced per night, so you can save money by staying for a longer period of time.
If you're not sure where to start your search for a vacation rental, there are many websites that can help you. VRBO, Airbnb, and HomeAway are all popular vacation rental websites that offer a wide selection of properties in Puerto Vallarta.
Once you've found a few potential rentals, be sure to read the reviews before you book. This will help you avoid any surprises and ensure that you have a great experience.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning your winter getaway to Puerto Vallarta:
* The weather in Puerto Vallarta is typically warm and sunny year-round, but the winter months (December through February) are the most popular time to visit.
* Puerto Vallarta is a popular destination for tourists, so it's important to book your accommodations in advance.
* There are many great restaurants and bars in Puerto Vallarta, so you'll be sure to find something to your taste.
* Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go shopping for souvenirs and local crafts.

I'm dreaming of a getaway next winter to Puerto Vallarta. I'm envisioning renting a house with one other family (3-4 bedrooms) and the must-haves include a pool, easy access to a beach, and staff to bring me margaritas poolside. Ha! A lot of the places I see on VRBO are further south in Conchas Chinas. I pretty much don't know anything about these areas and have only been to Mexico once over ten years ago (childless, a b&b in Guayabitos). Can any one offer experienced advice on staying in PV, benefits of VRBO with staff vs a resort, and things like that? Thanks in advance!
