Beach Front Luxury at the Bay View Grand - Location! Location! Location!

Have you always dreamed of visiting Paradise? That perfect location with Warm Winter Climates, Sandy Beaches, Colonial Architecture, Friendly People and Spectacular Sunsets? Then you need to come to Marina Vallarta near the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta. We always wanted our own place, in paradise, on the beach and in an area that was affordable and safe. We love long walks on the beach and the near perfect climate. The days are warm and the nights cool during those dreaded winter months. The Puerto Vallarta airport is a short distance as is the town and many activities. The restaurants in Marina Vallarta and Puerto Vallarta are first class and the scenery is unbelievable. We have seen many Humpback Whale and Dolphin shows right from our Balcony and the Sea Turtles occasionally lay their eggs right in front of Bay View Grand. Our home at the Bay View Grand is located on 20-acres of tropical paradise on the Mexican Riviera in the upscale neighborhood of Marina Vallarta which is only 4 miles from Puerto Vallarta. We are a 5 minute drive to the airport, and a 10 to 15 minute walk to the Beautiful Marina with spectacular yachts, numerous shops, pallet pleasing restaurants, pastry shops, ice cream parlors, tour providers, and a Thursday night (seasonal) Flea Market. Bay View Grand has the largest Infinity swimming pool in Puerto Vallarta. The size of 3 football fields and voted best pool in Puerto Vallarta. We also have an 8000 sq. foot well equipped gymnasium with sauna and steam room, two tennis courts, snack bar by the pool, and beautifully manicured grounds. There is a grocery store and shopping complex less than a mile up the street. Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco and beautiful shopping malls are a short distance away. We are centrally located and just a short 15-20 minute drive to the famous Puerto Vallarta downtown Malacon; a stone “boardwalk” with bronze statues, sand sculptures, and lots of strolling room. The main Puerto Vallarta downtown area is closed to motor traffic and has the ocean on one side and premier shopping, and restaurants on the other side. The Puerto Vallarta town square comes alive with entertainment in the evening. The fantastic flea markets, where everyone loves to bargain and deal, are just two blocks from the town square. Spend an evening in Old Town with its many Art Galleries, Restaurant and Night Life. Then return to the quiet serenity of your Bay View Grand home where all you hear are the soft sounds of the ocean surf.
Taxi, UBER and bus service is available right in front of the Bay View Grand. UBER will pick you up in our lobby if requested. We are just 5 minutes from the Airport.
This is not your typical rental. This is our home for much of the year and we only rent it when we are not able to use it.

OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME HAS ALL THE AMENITIES ONE COULD ASK FOR

• We are on the 10th floor of the quieter and sought after E- building, which sees every sunset with a different spectacular show every night.

This is our home for part of the year and the kitchen is well stalked with all essentials, and many more just nice to have and convenient items. It is not stalked with the bare minimum like many other full time rentals.

• Hi speed internet with access throughout our home and balcony.
• Phone with unlimited free calls to the US, Canada and Mexico.
• Individual air conditioning units in living room and both bedrooms. Each has its own individual control.

Great stay at BVG
We really enjoyed our vacation at Bay View Grand. It has a convenient location, the Marina area is a short and pleasant walk away. Puerto Vallarta is larger than I thought and if needed or wanted getting a taxi, Uber, or taking the bus can all be done right outside a front gate and they are not expensive. The complex itself is modern, clean, spacious, and looks inviting and has great ocean/sunset views. The unit we stayed in was very clean, very well appointed (including the kitchen), and very comfortable. Dale and Marian were very attentive and offered helpful suggestions about things to see or places to go and when I asked a couple questions via email the reply was always thorough and prompt.

Perfect condo
The condo is clean and has everything you need for the perfect vacation. We loved the location and the huge pool and how close it was to the marina and only a short taxi or Uber ride from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to PV!

Excellent stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at this beautifully decorated property. From the initial booking to check in, everything went smoothly. It’s within walking distance to the Marina, which has great restaurants and shops. The owner is a photographer and there are some amazing pictures lining the walls. Property is also nicely furnished with a very comfy master bed and highend linens. Kitchen is well stocked, and has quality appliances. There are spectacular sea views and sunsets. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable living
This place is amazing, words can’t describe the whole experience. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Monica was right there to greet us and take us to BVG. The nice cool breezes flow though the whole place, and the view is stunning. Everything you need is in this home. Large kitchen, new appliances, completely equipped. This is our 2nd time staying at Dale and Marian home. Was also a pleasure to have met Marian this trip. Thanks again for for opening up your beautiful home to us.

An exceptional property at a very reasonable price
We were met at the airport by the property manager, a very nice touch that was unexpected. The property is absolutely beautiful, with marble flooring throughout and fine furniture. We spent little time inside however, eating all of our meals at the condo on the deck with a spectacular view. Everything in the condo was exactly as advertised, and everything worked well. We arrived just before Hurricane Willa and Hurricane Xavier made their appearances, and although things were a little out of the normal for a couple of days, watching the staff of Bay View Grand put all of the lawn furniture up and securing things for the storm and putting it back afterwards showed that they'd done this before and were very well organized. Things were back up and running quite quickly. The staff at Bay View Grand, from groundskeepers to waitstaff, were always polite and pleasant. The gym at Bay View Grand was world-class with numerous treadmills, exercycles, and ellipticals, a weight room with free weights and machines. The importance of this was evident after eating at some of the restaurants in the area. Otherwise, I'd be buying a new and larger wardrobe. The Pool, or four pools, to be more precise were spotless all the time, though the heater could have been turned on a few days earlier. Transportation was easy, with busses and taxis always available, and not really all that necessary for going to the Marina for shopping or meals. Watch out for the cocodrillos (crocodiles). We never had any problem with them, but some of the ones we saw in the Marina were huge! We loved it here and will return again.

Another wonderful visit to Puerto Vallarta
This is the second year we have enjoyed staying in the Hansen's Bay View Grand condo in Puerto Vallarta. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils in the event that you want to eat in and watch the sunset from the balcony. For an early riser, the sunrise over the mountains is viewable from the kitchen window or outside balcony. Bay View Grand is a convenient 5 minute ride from the airport. You will get some airplane noise during the afternoon because of the proximity, however, it is a minor distraction while lounging in one of the four pools. The grounds are lovely and well maintained by the friendly staff. Restaurants at the marina are within a 15 minute leisurely walk and taxis are readily available for a 20-30 minute ride to the malecon, downtown eateries and attractions. The condo was very comfortable. The owner was very responsive to our concerns - a problem with the washer (yes, we wash clothes on vacation) was quickly resolved by the repairman. The slow internet had been upgraded and, after a couple of hiccups, all of our devices and the owners Roku television worked seamlessly. The Roku provided access to most major US channels, Netflix and more. We look forward to our next visit and recommend the Hansen's condo for your stay in Puerto Vallarta.

Wonderful week in November
After spending a week here we want to go back. The condo has everything you need for your stay. The decor is interesting, but that just adds to it. The grounds...where do we begin. After walking from the Bay View Grand down the beach past other units and hotels, BVG by far is so well maintained. The beach is well groomed. The 5 infinity pools are amazing. The snack bar at the pool is good and not as expensive as you would find at most hotels. Would we recommend this place - heck yes. The owner was very accommodating answering any questions we had before our trip and even after. The BVG is not far from the Marina and within walking distance. Cabs are always out front and security will get one for you. The bus goes by frequently - so transportation into the Malecon or anywhere else in Puerto Vallarta is convenient. This was our first VRBO rental - it will not be our last. And would love to come back to this property again.

Paradise
This is a gorgeous condo! We loved the marble floors, and the beautifully carved and painted table and chairs and bar stools,and all the wood work throughout the condo was exquisite! One of the bathrooms had a large pillar and marble steps into the jetted tub. The other bathroom had a marble seat in the shower you could sit down to wash yourself! Both bedrooms had a picturesque view of the serpentine swimming pool right next to the beach, wow ,we were in awe at the view! We loved having the sliding doors and windows opened at night to hear the sound of the rolling waves and the cross breeze that put us to sleep. How relaxing that was. The kitchen was modern we loved the stove and large fridge the awesome view out the big kitchen window. They had beautiful stained glass windows throughout the condo. The living room had a lovely dolfin glass tea table and the couches reclined so we could enjoy watching the large screen tv. We loved eating our meals on the balcony, the chairs and table were so convenient and there on the balcony was a nice hot tub. This was an immaculate condo!! We did not want to leave. We loved the fun adventures ! Walks on the beach, watching the iguanas sunning themselves in the top of the trees, setting the baby turtles free in the ocean, viewing the variety of birds, working out with the excersise equipment, the steamroom was nice too. Last but not least the sunsets were to die for! We would book this condo again and again!

Clean, Beautiful, and Fun
After driving 5 hours to Vegas, flight to California, and a layover with 2 hour extra delay before we flew to Puerto Vallarta it was a relief that we only had a quick 5 minute taxi ride to the Bay View Grand. We arrived just in time to watch from the 10th floor balcony radiant red and orange clouds dance in the sky as the sun disappeared beyond the ocean. With the kids in bed fast asleep my wife and I listened to the ocean wave’s crash upon the beach as we relaxed in the luxurious balcony tub for some much needed R&R. In the morning after a great night sleep in a comfortable bed we were able to appreciate how clean and well kept the condo was. Their cute nick knacks on the walls from years of collecting all over the world, were a welcome relief from the normal sterile hotel room. With a full kitchen, simple breakfast and lunches made it easy to save a little extra money. Of coarse we spent that extra money when we walked to the flee market that goes on every Thursday in the near by marina. The next morning we were surprised to see a notice by the elevator telling us about a free event of releasing baby sea turtles. After playing in the ocean waves all day we took a walk in the soft sand to a small shack just a half mile down the beach to where the turtles were hatched. My kids and I were able to each hold and name 3 adorable baby turtles. We released them to make their way down the beach toward another amazing sunset, to their new home the ocean. Dale Hansen and Marian were very accommodating their beautiful home and their friendly attitude made it an amazing vacation. Thanks to both of you. Ryan, Lorinda and family

Amazing Condo and Amazing Complex
We stayed in this beautiful condo from January 4th through February 25. It was great to get away from the cold Winter in the States. Bay View Grand is an Amazing complex with 24/7 security. The grounds are immaculate and the infinity pool is the largest we have ever seen or been in. Our Grandchildren loved swimming in the end pools which are heated. Anywhere else we have ever stayed, the complex takes up almost all the property. Here, at Bay View Grand, the Gardens are immense with beautifully groomed flowers, trees, and shrubs everywhere. We were here during the busy time and yet we had no difficulty securing a table and chairs by the pool. The pools seldom had more than a few people in them. We even had a once in a lifetime experience of seeing a Turtle lay her eggs right in front of Bay View Grand. The condo itself is well designed, clean and spacious. The views are incredible! The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We were provided plenty of clean linens and towels. The maid came by once a week to clean. You can tell from the decorations and decor that this is someones home and we did feel at home during our entire stay. We visited some friends in other condos and nothing came close to this condo. The cross ventilation was fantastic throughout the condo. The nights were comfortably cool and quiet. We stayed downtown one year and could not sleep at night because of all the continuous noise. They have a new air conditioning system, however, there was never any need to try it out. The internet was good and we enjoyed having Netflix and USTV Now that broadcasts the most popular TV channels in the States. I must admit though, we seldom found time to watch TV. Whenever we missed one of the many incredible sunsets from our balcony, we felt a little disappointed. Thank you Dale and Marian for sharing your beautiful home with us. WE WILL BE BACK!!

Breathtaking!
My husband and I stayed at the Hansen's beautiful Condo for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had just a few minor "speed bumps" but Dale was very attentive and got things done for us quickly. The view is spectacular and we really enjoyed sunsets/breakfasts on the patio. Its location is nice if you want to take a walk to the Marina or just go to dinner next door at the Velas Vallarta. You can catch the bus close by if you want to do some sightseeing or going to the Malecon. The pools were well maintained and the grounds were beautiful. We liked the fact that it was very secure. Having a laundry room was an added extra. We love BVG! The people we met were all very nice!
