Casa Nautilus was the perfect place for our group of 9! We flew into PVR for a wedding in Mismaloya and the house was fantastic! Michelle (the house coordinator based in the US) took great care of us and provided us with all of the details for the home and amenities (transportation, address, chef information, menu options, massage, etc.) before hand so that we were very comfortable and informed before we even left for Mexico.

Upon arrival we were greeted by our chef Tino, housekeeper Marie and helper / butler Eric who had margaritas and chips, salsa and guacamole waiting for us. It was such a treat! The house is beautiful! Every room has a king sized bed, private bathroom, ocean front balcony and an air conditioning unit. We often hung out on the balconies or by the pool and saw dolphins most days. The pool was beautiful and the perfect temp! Each morning Marie cleaned the house for us and Tino prepared breakfast and lunch or dinner for our group based on a menu that we discussed the previous day. We reimbursed Tino for any groceries that were purchased for our meals and they delivered all of the food and drinks that we needed (fair prices and receipts to review). Eric was wonderful and made margaritas and pina coladas during the day and arranged our taxi's, boat rides and other requests throughout our stay. We loved all of the food as well! (fresh shrimp ceviche, chile rejenos, steak, shrimp bisque, etc.). The staff blew us away!!

The house is located 3 minutes south a Mismaloya (beach with lots of water activities, sun chairs and bars available) and about 20 - 25 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta. We really enjoyed being away from the touristy, hustle-and-bustle of Puerto Vallarta (but close enough to drive to). We had friends that rented another house up the hill from us, but ocean-front is absolutely the way to go! We used the transportation to and from the airport that Michelle recommended and taxis were very fast, easy and cheap when we left the house to go to the beach, PV, the wedding, etc. There is parking if you rent a car.

Overall, we highly recommend this house for a great vacation! It's perfect for a large family or group of friends based on the layout and rooms. The price (house, food and gratuity) was a great value for the beautiful location, well kept accommodations and excellent service offered. I've already recommended Casa Nautilus to my coworker! You won't be disappointed.
