Property Overview
Our home away from home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry area, full kitchen, living room, office space, and an incredible balcony to watch the waves roll on to the best beach in Puerto Vallarta.
This charming beachfront Penthouse overlooks the golden sands and crystal blue waters of Vallarta's famed south shore. The views from the top are simply incredible. Step out of the elevator and you are seconds away from the sand.
The light and bright open floor plan features a great kitchen with pantry and cozy living room overlooking the beach, bay, and gardens!
The main floor master suite features stunning views, outdoor terrace and private bathroom with ample closet space.
Upstairs is a lovely sitting room with office space overlooking the main floor and ocean. Also upstairs is a second bedroom complete with its own bathroom.
The well-maintained complex includes: Secured entry, professional management, ample parking and two lovely pools surrounded by tropical gardens.
This beautiful beachfront home sits on the northern beach of the Gemelas area. There is normally a great breeze but the unit is air conditioned as well.
This is a residential complex NOT a hotel. Although we try to keep toiletries stocked there are no maid/concierge services on site. There is a small store next door to get essentials but a trip to town will likely be necessary for groceries.
For stays longer than two weeks maid service is included every 7th day. A washer/dryer is available for your use in the condo.
We typically do NOT rent a car but there are plenty available at the airport. You can UBER or use taxis to go anywhere you want very cheaply.
For the more adventurous the public bus runs every 15 minutes to town. It is currently 10 pesos per person. This is our main form of transportation while staying in the area. Detailed instructions are included in our welcome packet.

Nancy P- January 2023
A beautiful condo overlooking the Pacific. Every amenity is included, even humpback whales passing by during morning coffee and afternoon margaritas. Can’t wait for a return visit.Wendy R- January 2022
Views from balcony were outstanding! Saw rays, humpbacks, sea snakes and a turtle! Condo was very clean and beds were comfortable. Pool and beach area fabulous. In a great, quiet location with easy bus access. Looking forward to visiting again.Jeannie S- December 2022
We loved the views from the penthouse condo on the beach! The beach was very clean and the water was so warm. It’s not a beach that goes on and on for walking, which I kind of missed as I’m a walker. But it was a reasonably priced condo and clean, and well equipped kitchen. The bed was sooo comfortable! Ken was a great communicator before and during our stay. The location was good too as we went to town and Mismaloya way as well for activities. Cheap taxi or Uber and we took the bus several times too. We enjoyed our stay!Lynn W. - December 2021
We have stayed in other units at this complex and this was definitely the most comfortable. The host was very helpful. Everything was better than expected. Looking forward to a return visit!Mirna A.-- June 2021
We have stayed at Playas Gemelas several times in different condos, this was our first time in this Penthouse and we absolutely loved it! The view of course is amazing, it was very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The owner Ken was great with communication and the whole process was super easy. We will definitely be returning.Steven A. -May 2021
We had an enjoyable visit and experience at Playas Gemelas, Puerto Vallarta.Michelle Z.-- December 2020
Girlfriends and I were looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy some sun, sand and sea therapy and this fit the bill perfectly! I loved being a bit out of town (just an $8 cab ride in) and getting to walk just steps to the beach!The owner was very easy to communicate with and quite helpful with all the questions I had. All the staff we encountered were also extremely friendly and helpful. If you are looking for frills and bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. But for a spacious, relaxing spot at a very affordable price, it's perfect!Sergey Z.- November 2020
Everything was nice and cool.Lara B.- September 2020
I couldn't imagine a better experience, everything was absolutely perfect: check in, information, property, owner, communication, ocean!!!!!Peggy D.- March 2020
This location delivered! It is a scenic and relaxing view from the penthouse deck. We saw whales, dolphins, stingrays and sardinias anytime of the day or evening. Lots of locals on the beach on the weekend gave us a glimpse of the local culture. We would come again.Rea J.- January 2020
The Property Manager, KEN, was very helpful. Ken contacted us to see how everything was going, 2 blankets were waiting for us from Amazon in case we were cold, the sundries were well stocked. The Playa Gemelas staff was friendly,helpful and always smiling. As the facility is primarily occupied by the owners we often were the only ones at the pool or shared by a few others. Given the opportunity we will stay in this Condo in Playa Gemelas again. Thanks Ken for sharing your Condo with us.Scott L.- November 2019
This condo was great! Clean and well-equipped. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect location. Super easy to get downtown on the bus from the bus stop right across the street. There is also a taxi stand right out front if that is your preference. The private beach was terrific! Beach chairs/umbrellas/tables available for rent or you can just throw down your towel and relax! The complex was very well maintained and the staff was super helpful. Real easy to get to a grocery store and grab basics for the condo. Laundry room conveniently located right next to the office. We have been visiting Puerto Vallarta for 17 years and this is one of the nicer places we’ve stayed. Communication with the owner was superb. Would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you, Ken, for sharing your beautiful home with us to enjoy!!Joan N.- February 2022

Meet your hosts
We are Ken and Erika. We live in the beautiful hills of rural Oregon.
After 10 years and many trips we decided Puerto Vallarta is where we want to spend our time in retirement. Since that is a few years away, we have decided to share our home away from home.
We hope that you fall in love with the area as much as we have. Throw out everything you have heard about Mexico and soak in Puerto Vallarta.
