Puerto Vallarta is a vibrant coastal city located on the Pacific Ocean in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. It’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, known for beautiful beaches, a charming old town, rich culture, and welcoming atmosphere. No matter how many times our family and friends have visited, it’s always an enjoyable trip.

The town is situated on the Bay of Banderas, one of the largest and most beautiful bays in the world, making it a prime destination for beach lovers and water sport enthusiasts. Puerto Vallarta is bordered by the picturesque Sierra Madre mountains, creating a dramatic backdrop of lush verdant hills that contrast with the sparkling multi-colored azure and tourmaline waters of the ocean.

Puerto Vallarta is known for its lively nightlife, magnificent and easily walkable Malecon (waterfront), and incredible Mexican cuisine (especially the fresh seafood).

If you’re coming to paradise, you might as well stay with a view. But make it a view with your own space to relax, unwind and enjoy this delightful destination. Here are some vacation rentals in Puerto Vallarta where you can do just that, most costing less than what you’d pay for a hotel room.
