Private Villa, Authentic Cook Included, heated pool, just steps to the beach

This 4400 Sq. Ft. property has luxury and value. Casa de Tres Palapas is located 2 short blocks from the beach. Whether you are coming with your family, or celebrating with your friends, this is the perfect home!

No need to worry about meals, as you will have your very own full time Amazing Cook. She works around your vacation schedule, to provide you the most authentic Mexican food or any special requests you may have for meals. Greeted with an ice-cold Margarita, and amazing hospitality from the moment you walk in.

In addition, there are two couches that have fold out beds, as well as a futon couch that can be an additional bedding option.

Each guest suite has A/C, as well as ceiling fans and additional A/C units throughout the home.

Fantastic
What an amazing home! Pool, rooms, kitchen, outdoor space, everything just incredible. Monica was easy to contact and quick to respond. Staff was extremely friendly and great at their jobs. We only had 2 meals prepared but they were great and plenty of food. Two blocks from the beach and walking distance to huge grocery store. If you are reading this and not booking now, your mistake!

Excellent choice for a stay in Bucerias
There cannot be a better property in Bucerias. We had 10 family members from 3 different families, ranging in ages from 6 to 80. There was space enough for all of us to sleep very comfortably, there were a variety of living rooms and sections for everyone to relax, or play games, or chat. The pool was fantastic and a great break from the ocean. The location: literally 2.5 blocks from the ocean, with a super markets, corner stores, and restaurants within an easy 5 minute walk. The staff: incomparable. Other reviewers talk about the staff and how wonderful they are, but words cannot do them justice. They are kind, welcoming, and really good at their jobs. We've never had a vacation home with a chef before, and we're so glad we did. Monica: Monica is communicative - she answered every question that I had, and gave info when I wouldn't have thought to ask! I'm so grateful she suggested getting a golf cart; this was helpful for my parents to get down to the city center. Amenities: The pool had toys and rafts for the kids. There were beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand castle building supplies, games, and a cart to wheel it all down. There were many bathrooms in the house, and everything we need. I could have just packed a swimsuit and I would have been fine. This house had EVERYTHING. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Definitely recommend!
Our family visits this area of Mexico fairly regularly and rents properties each time. This home was an amazing place to stay and definitely one of our favorites! The layout of the home is unique and allows for everyone to have their own private space and bathroom which is a great feature for a group of adults. The staff really makes your stay extra amazing!

Didn’t want to leave
8 of us sisters, nieces & partners stayed for 6 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. Enough room to have your own space and also fabulous choices of areas to hang out and socialize. Loved the upper patio in the morning for shade and ocean breeze. The pool area was great with a mix of Sun and shade. Easy access to the beautiful expansive beach. But what took this stay to the next level was care and food provided by Denis, Mariana and Paulina. Big thank you from all of us:)

Family Mexican vacation
Went on a trip with my three adult children, their partners and their babies. Babies were 3 months, 9 months and 20 months. House was perfect - each group had their own private room complete with ensuite. Pool was fabulous and a short walk to the beach. House supplied wagons, umbrellas etc. everything required for a successful beach day. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Our cook provided meals better than any restaurant. We were sorry to leave and would definitely book again.

Went to the house with 7 other people and we all had our own space with many areas to socialize! The maid and chef were outstanding and super helpful— they went above and beyond. Beach nearby with taxi service around the corner. Everything you need is right there: expect to be blown away by everything Monica has set up for your stay.

Beautiful House
Fantastic house and property. We were on a friends trip with a group of 4 couples. All the rooms were great. The staff was very helpful and communication with the property manager and owner was excellent. This VRBO was well stocked with everything we needed and everything was in great condition. Located near the beach and is an easy walk to the public beach access. The house had a wagon and beach chairs that we were able to use.

Beautiful property!
Beautifully maintained property two blocks from the beach and close to shopping and restaurants! Jeff the property manager ensured that all our questions were answered. Frances kept the house spotless during her visits. She was also very careful to make sure we had our privacy which we appreciated. The view from the rooftop deck was gorgeous. We so appreciated Liana's communication and her attention to detail which made our 2018 Christmas in Bucerias incredibly memorable. Would highly recommend this property to families!

Stayed in main house.
My wife and I stayed in the Main house which is very nice and spacious- 2 levels. This is a very secure complex in a quiet neighborhood. Close to wonderful tucked away restaurants. The beach is very nice, well groomed and not crowded. Only two blocks away. In our opinion this property lends itself better to a family or group stay because the units are in very close proximity to one another around the pool and patio area. This is a very well kept, clean complex and Jeff the property manager is fantastic and always available to help with any questions we had.

Fantastic retreat!
This property was awesome! 6 of us had a quick stay here for just 2 nights. The pool was great. The house was very clean, with high end finishings. The master shower was heavenly!! Jeff was very helpful and friendly. One thing of note is that the bedroom in the office is very small. We only had 1 guy staying in there, but could see how it might be too small for a couple or for a long stay. Would definitely recommend this place and will hopefully be back! Thank you!!

Exceptional Family Vacation
We had 12 family members, we all fit comfortably in the house and external rooms. The set up was perfect. Denice the chef made us wonderful meals daily and accommodated for the little ones in the family. Guillermo who cleaned the house worked around the two littlest ones nap schedules and assured the cleaning was done to not disturbed them. They both made us so comfortable. I highly recommend the house if you want to relax. The beach is only two blocks away.

Best Vacation for All Ages
This was the best vacation experience I have ever had. We had 3 families ranging in ages from 5 to 55 staying at Monica's property and it was the perfect vacation place for all ages. Monica was responsive and awesome. She gave us a lot of great recommendations. Her excursion recommendations were fantastic. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. What really set this apart was the staff (Paulina & crew). They were friendly and helpful. They helped my kids learn some basic Spanish phrases to use around the house. I loved coming back from an excursion and my kids would hop into the pool for another few hours while Paulina made us adults the best margaritas to sip poolside. Meals were fantastic. We would hands down stay at Monica's property again and are so thankful for our entire experience. Thank you Monica, Paulina, and crew!

Very impressed
The condition and cleanliness of this home impressed me and that's hard to do. The pool is even larger than the pictures imply and it's beautifully kept. Liana is very responsive and offered a lot of helpful suggestions to be sure we enjoyed our trip to the greatest extent. It's completely outside of her control but there is construction next door though she was both proactive and responsive when we had a small issue with noise. The kitchens are well-equipped and you won't want for towels or linens if needed during your stay. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic top notch vacation
I just spent 23 lovely nights in this beautiful spot. The house is beautiful the outdoor spaces are beautiful but most wonderful of all are the staff, Denise and Guille Make sure that everything was perfect every day. The staff are what made our vacation amazing. The only issue we had was that the pool was not preheated before we got there, but that was a minor thing. The meals were absolutely wonderful, as were the drinks. Some of us were there to relax only and this property made that more than easy to do. Some of the guests were there for adventure and action and they were also able to find that within close proximity. every single one of us that were there would love to go back to the same property again. We love it there and I for one was very sad to come home

Amazing place to stay
Stayed here with a group of 5 other people. The house was lovely, with a good vibe, nice pool, and a number of little nooks for quiet time. The setup was good for our group as besides the rooms in the main house some of the rooms were a bit separate. The location was perfect. The beach is a few blocks away and it's just far enough away from the center of town to be both a short walk & away from the hustle and bustle. The host was great and was very responsive, always available to answer any questions we had. All of that would already be great. But what really set this place apart were the ladies that work here. They're so friendly and always looking to make sure you're enjoying your stay. Denise's meals were amazing. We never wanted to miss her cooking. The hardest decisions all week were how to work in some other local bites without skipping meals at the house.

Absolutely Perfect!
My husband and I brought my parents and 5 children (ranging from 4-19) to this beautiful vacation home in early September. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Monica, the house staff, and this gorgeous property. The home is absolutely stunning and in a great location, within a couple minute walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The owner Monica, and Nancy (with property management) were extremely helpful with setting up transportation, giving us recommendations on excursions, and answering questions before and during our stay. But I have to say… the hidden gems are Denise and Guille! They are the absolute best and truly made our stay unforgettable!! The food was amazing, the home was spotless, and these two women embody Mexican hospitality at its finest. Denise and Guille worked around our schedule (as well as our kids’) and were able to deliver delicious dishes that were truly out of this world! We will absolutely be back to this property and I’m praying these magnificent women will still be there! We’ve been on dozens of vacations and this one takes the cake by far :)

AMAZING!!!!!!
If you're looking at houses in Bucerias, look no further. This house has it all, lots of space, a pool, a chef, and a housekeeper! The space and pool are self explanatory, but the chef and housekeeper, well that's the magic of this place! Denise, the chef, is probably the best cook in Bucerias and maybe PV. My suggestion, give her an idea of what you like and then just set her free and order the chef's choice. She will blow your mind! If that isn't enough to impress, ask her to make you a Margaritas or Pina Coladas!!! Again, hands down the best in town! And Gulien, wow, she was amazing as well. She was extremely helpful, ensuring that we always had what we needed. She also kept the house spotless! If you are looking for a worry-free vacation with AMAZING STAFF this is the place! DO NOT LET THIS ONE PASS YOU BY!

Wonderful Place!
This is an amazing property; it was exactly the same in real life as it looked in the photos. The house is spacious and comfortably fit our family of four plus another family of five. Denise, the personal chef, was amazing, as were the rest of the staff. A few things: 1. There is definitely noise, especially if you are in the suite closest to the street. (Some reviews commented on the construction in the area, and there is definitely a lot of construction, with several high rises going up nearby - it's definitely an "up and coming" area.) 2. It does end up costing you more than it may seem when you book. As a party of nine, we paid $50/day extra for having more than eight guests, and you are also expected to tip the staff $15-$20 per day per person, which adds a lot to overall price - about $1500 more for a party of nine for a week. After you meet the staff and see how they spoil you, you will want to tip them, but it was still a significant amount for us that we weren't necessarily prepared for. Overall, still a great deal, especially if you look at hotel and restaurant prices in the area. Also, having a someone available to cook meals made it a truly relaxing experience.
