<p>Casa Tiburón is a three-bedroom, two-bath, Mexican beach house, featuring spacious indoor and outdoor living areas and fabulous views of Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south. We're located in the quiet fishing village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, just a 20-minute drive from the Puerto Vallarta airport. The beach is our front yard, and we're just steps away from the marina, La Cruz's famous fish market, and an abundance of excellent restaurants, from street taquerias to fine continental cuisine.</p>

Casa Tiburón

We took a last minute flight to PVR from LAX and stayed at Joni's Tiburon beach house. We did not want to rent a car and certainly did not need one. This house is right on the beach and within walking distance to anywhere you want to go in La Cruz. We loved La Cruz. It's very laid back-just a sleepy fishing town with many small locally owned restaurants and stores. You won't find any souvenir or T-shirt shops here. We found live music every night when we walked into town and talked mostly to locals.

The beach was empty, clean and beautiful. There is a fresh catch fish market about a 2 minute walk from the house right in the harbor. They sold fresh fish every morning.

Although it is next to another house the backyard pool was very private and was the prefect temperature. The house and pool are higher than beach level so both are extremely private and somewhat hidden from people on the beach which was really nice. There is a lower yard just past the pool that has an eating table and hammock with great views and still lots of privacy. Our daughter did not want to leave the hammock and was her favorite place to hang out.

The kitchen was large and well equipped with a new full size American style fridge, standard stove and plenty of counter space. The views are great from the living room and master bedroom. The location felt safe and secure. Every room had a ceiling fan and we never used the AC. The house had a washer/dryer.

The bathrooms were nice and the shower and water pressure were great. The unit had a 5 gallon bottle water dispenser in the kitchen.

We asked Joni to set up an airport pickup for us which cost $55. It was prefect. The driver met us at the airport with an air conditioned van and took us directly to the house. It also included a 20 minute stop along the way at the Mega Market (If we wanted to) where we bought groceries for the week. Much easier than renting a car or taking a taxi. We did take the local bus into PV and Bucerias which was cheap and easy.

Joni was very easy to work with and had local people available to contact for any maintenance issues.

We will definitely be back to La Cruz and would stay at Joni's house again if its available.

Great house, Fabulous La Cruz Location

We stayed in this spacious villa for a week with 4 adults and 2 children. There was plenty of room for all of us. It was very comfortable and the location on the beach near the marina perfectly suited our needs. The private pool and nicely landscaped multi-level garden provides a private setting for a relaxing vacation. The property was clean and well maintained. We had timely communication and customer service from the owner and property manager staff.

Beautiful setting on the beach

Our family would highly recommend this home! It is in a perfect location. You are steps from the beach, marina, restaurants and bars. We loved the size of the pool(not always the case in other rentals) and the area around it. Many chairs and tables to lounge, read a book or enjoy a beer! The grounds are beautiful as well. The best part of this home is it comes with a Reservations Director and Personal Concierge that actually live in the community. We were met on day one and all questions about the property were answered. Any tours or other services you need/want while staying in La Cruz are just a call/email away.

La Cruz is a very charming, authentic and small community. From the great restaurants to the quiet beaches, it was the perfect place to get away from it all! We are already thinking about our return trip for next year!

Perfect beach house in a gem of a town!

This place had everything we needed. Air conditioning, comfortable beds, full kitchen, clean swimming pool, direct access to the beach, plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and much more. Hammock outside under the palapa is a great place to relax while listening to the waves.

If you're driving, the road the villa is on is really bumpy but not a big deal to me.

We worked with the host to hire an in-house massage. The masseuse was fine setting up the table and giving the massage outside in the shade. Relaxing massage while listening to the waves, are you kidding me?! My wife has had many massages around the world and she said this masseuse was the best by far. Ask for Abigail!

We also arranged for a private chef to cook dinner at the villa once. Turned out to be a an excellent meal and the service was superb!

Look for the giant lizards that come out from under the pavement to sunbath by the pool. Pretty cool to see!

This villa is perfect if you're the type who enjoys a little separation from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas, while being close enough to visit those areas when you're ready.

There are several security cameras around the outside of the villa which is a normal thing, but there were also two cameras inside the villa. One facing the front entry door and one in the living room facing towards the rear windows. Not that big of a deal to me but just guests should be aware of it.

Wonderful property, would definitely recommend!
