The house is Pepe and Emma’s family home so you feel like you are home. They great you with a margarita and go over every detail of the place. Your room has every amenity you could possibly need. The patios and pool area is beautiful and relaxing. Everything is gated so there is no reason to be afraid but I never saw anything to be afraid of. The location is amazing. You can walk everywhere and there are good restaurants close by. It’s easy to get your bearings quickly. If you need any help at all just ask Pepe!

Only one thing, my shower was a little short on water pressure and took while to get hot, but I was on the second level and it had a ways to travel.

loved it all

Near the beach- central location

We had to last minute book this property because our AirBnB fell through- it was NOT as pictured on the website with all the common areas- no flowers- no aesthetic- they only take cash which was a surprise as we would assume we could pay with card and we didn’t have enough cash so had to make a trip to the bank. Every door and gate is locked with a lock (understandable because of crime there) but they need to get new locks because they were old and rusty and every time you are going in and out of the property we got our hands dirty. If you do want to sit out near the beach you have to move the heavy chairs there yourself and it’s a whole process- again, the area by the beach was not as pictured with pretty flowers or anything.

Location was great

We rented the 2 bedroom apartment and they charged us extra for the 2nd bedroom! An extra 160 usd, so false advertising. They also have a water problem with random hot and no water on our last night there! I asked for a receipt and he said I'd have pay an Xtra 16% for it. He comes off so friendly but I think he's a little shady.

not much. Grossly over-priced. Owners were pleasant but obviously waiting for an offer from a real estate developer. Neighborhood was excellent; close to good selection of restaurants.

an old family home between major condo properties. facilities were clean but very dated. water pressure minimal. beach was very rocky and undertow strong.

The hosts, Pepe and Emma, were welcoming, friendly, and down-to-earth people. Pepe made made me one of the best margaritas I had my entire time in MX. They even provided phone numbers in case they needed to be contacted - and not just for issues relating to their property. They really made you feel at home. The secure wifi worked fine (although I still used vpn while there). The location, as far as I was concerned, was perfect. It had everything I wanted - beachfront, close to bars, restaurants, shopping, and with lots of local flavor - arts, music. Everything was very walk-able or just a short taxi away. My room and all the common areas were clean. The bed was comfortable. As my stay was short, I really didn't do any cooking but the kitchen was well provisioned with cooking and serving implements and plenty of tableware. There were plenty of towels and such in the bathroom. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

You shouldn't really take most of this as "negative" but you should understand that this beach house is an older Mexican facility and is small. It isn't a luxury resort with room service and huge pools and resort amenities - but you know what? That's not what I was looking for. It could use a few updates here and there but nothing that would every stop me from returning - the hospitality and location alone are exceptional. This is a taste of Mexico that I fear is on its way out due to condominium building taking place all over that area. After leaving the Bucerias Beach House, I met family for another week at one of those mega resorts close by. As beautiful and well-kept as it was, with all the amenities anyone could want, it's not what I preferred. If that's the vacation experience you want, then go to one of those. But if you want a warm, comfortable, easy living, down-sized experience, with no pretense and a real flavor of local culture, then this is they type of place you want.
