Private yet close to everything

It was a good feeling to come back to the property after a full day of touring around discovering the area. coming home to the welcoming garden and pool and the local iguanas was a delight. Regis is very accommodating and easily reachable. thank you for hosting us!

A very relaxing stay

The backyard is a slice of heaven. I was in the lovely pool every single day. My husband has mobility issues so it was extremely helpful that we were close to restaurants, a small store, the Wednesday market and the fabulous Sunday market. Property Management is extremely responsive and helpful. Thank you!

Excellent location, Relaxing Pool

This house is within walking distance to many excellent well priced restaurants. The pool is heated to a very relaxing temperature. The owners shared their contact info to be available on What’s App for assistance if we needed. We had no problems while we were there.

A wonderful stay!

We had a great time. It's a lovely place with just about everything you could need in the small fishing village of La Cruz. Couldn't keep the kids out of the pool, not that we wanted to. We also loved seeing the Iguanas wandering the yard and hanging out in the trees on the property. We had a few minor hiccups, but Rick and Julieta attended to them very quickly and were quite helpful. We'd certainly stay here again if we're returning to the area.

Great home base for family vacation!

Holiday getaway for adult children and parents to gather. Comfortable with lots of amenities. Cooking, food storage and water dispenser were great! Pool was a great temperature and the iguanas in the backyard kept us entertained! Close to the beach, great restaurants, corner stores and bus stops to get to Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias. Lots of walking exploration to do near by. (Along the coast to Bucerias and the other way to some secret beaches -watch out for tides though).

Excellent rental, highly recommended

Friendly, helpful and available hosts for anything we needed, great outdoor dining, beautiful garden with coconut and tropical trees. Weather was hot but we had the pool and waterfall to cool off, easy walk to the center of the village. Everything was as described. Property was impeccably clean. We enjoyed many restaurants at the marina and live music.

Casa la Kasbah Paradise!

We spent a month here and it was amazing!! So peaceful & relaxing. The house was clean, spacious, welcoming with a beautiful yard and a pool that was heavenly! The yard, pool and house are very well taken care of by friendly professionals. The area of La Cruz is a warm friendly piece of older Mexico with everything close at hand. The small restaurants, grocery stores, local establishments are fantastic for buying all your daily needs and meals out. The owner Rick, and property manager Julieta, are quick to respond and help in any way they can. We loved it so much that we booked the house for next year! Looking forward to returning to La Cruz!!

Fabulous Property

We spent a wonderful 11 days at Casa La Kasbah. The house is in a perfect location in La Cruz - a short 2 block walk to the middle of town, and about the same to the amazing fish market. Great little restaurants only a short walk away. We were often entertained right in the back yard with a variety of music from places in the neighbourhood - none of which went past about 9:00. The house is also remarkably sound proof even though it is right on the street!! The other highlight was the pool. SO lovely!!! The fact it was heated made it easy to get into at any point during the day or evening. Communication with Rick was great - and the property manager Julieta was wonderful. Quick to respond and very helpful. Was great having the 3 bedrooms. The TV area was nice although we never actually sat there!! It was so lovely in the garden that we spent our evenings out there. The Iguanas were so entertaining! We learned a lot about them - who knew Iguanas jumped out of palm trees!!! Well - they do! They were very respectful - they love the waterfall! We would come back in a heartbeat. Loved the house and the town!!!

If you’re looking for a cultural experience and an amazing backyard with a private pool, this is it!

We loved the beautiful yard with pool. My husband loves tinkering with things so he enjoyed watering the yard. The fence around the yard is 8 feet tall so there is tons of privacy in a quiet neighborhood. You will hear roosters crowing in the mornings while drinking your coffee!!! We saw iguanas crossing the streets a few blocks away when we walked to dinner. We had a great time looking at the yachts when we walked to the marina. Things to keep in mind...the vines growing on the house are gorgeous; however, they do provide a home to lizards and spiders. The glass doors provide indoor/outdoor living, but they don’t seal on the bottom like homes in America so the lizards and spiders get into the house. We ended up having fun with it and made bets on who would see them first. We named them Marco & Polo! The spiders are the size of an adults palm of your hand, but we killed those. The owners were available when we needed to contact them. Some little things that would make a big difference to Americans coming on vacation would be large kitchen trash bags upon arrival, grilling tools, and a vacuum cleaner. One other thing you might consider is putting some kind of tile or backsplash in the kitchen. When people have cooked, food splattered on the walls and it won’t wash off. Overall, we have stayed in resorts in Puerto Vallarta and would prefer this over the resorts. The backyard is what makes this place along with the culture within this neighborhood!!!!

Needs a lot of work

We booked Casa Kasbah for five months, based on the online pics, we won't be doing that again. The house is on a dirt road, that has been taken over by the summer rains, and it is now, basically a dirty, dusty river bed. (Not the owner's fault, of course) The good: Outstanding pool, large and deep, albeit very cold water. The gardens and back yard are very beautiful. Beautiful tile floors throughout Good wifi signal, some English stations on TV Good ceiling fans in all rooms The not so good: The City turns off the water randomly from 10 to around 3...so no water during those hours...again, not the owner's fault, but very inconvenient. The house is NOT a Villa, rather a house with a strange floor-plan and a tiny kitchen, The bad: The furniture looks like it came from a backyard sale, vinyl couch/chair, and....beanbag chairs...how 70s! Kitchen is equipped with chipped plastic glasses, chipped mismatched plates, again...thrift shop stuff. The toilet or tub leaks in the master bathroom, forming a puddle you get to walk through every night. Tub drains very slowly...hand held shower, very clumsy and cheap Guest bathroom, rusted faucet, needs a new shower head brown water comes out of the shower, initially....then clears up. The vintage flatscreen TV is, for some reason, in the guest bedroom. The beds are hard even by Mexico standards. The only A/C unit is in the Master Bedroom, but the owner feels it necessary to charge 8 dollars USD a day, if you want it on. Doesn't matter how little it is on...8 bucks a day. If not, your other option is to open the window, which is on the road. This house in in a Mexican neighborhood, which comes with lots of noise, chickens, dogs, horses...very authentic! We left after two months, won't be returning.

Home away from Home

My guests and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa Kasbah in La Cruz! The house was as described in the listing and Rick was very responsive to emails and answered all my questions prior to my arrival. He made arrangements for airport transfers, gave me recommendations for local restaurants and services (in house spa, in house chef Elizabeth, who was lovely and a great cook!), and was responsive to any problems or issues that came up. My guests and I spent a lot of time outside in the yard, hanging out by the pool. The pool man and gardener kept the pool and gardens looking great and were very discreet when they would come to do their work, but were very friendly when we wanted to chat with them. The town of La Cruz is great, but it is rustic and small. I loved it, but guests should be aware of what the town offers, and doesn't offer, before deciding to stay there for any length of time. I was there for a month and did not have a car which worked out fine for me. My guests and I walked the town a lot, mostly going to the beach, and out for dinners and groceries. If I was staying longer, I would likely want access to a vehicle to make trips to other parts of the area. There is no bank in La Cruz but there are 2 ATMs (although I only found 1). English is spoken by some locals, but I spoke Spanish most of the time when I went out shopping or out to eat. It is important to note that I felt safe in La Cruz, even when I would go out alone. Would love to go back!!

Perfect place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in La Cruz. The house was perfect for us and our two teens. The pool was lovely and well maintained. The house is just a few blocks away from the central plaza in La CruZ and felt very safe. La Cruz is just charming-not too touristy & the residents were very welcoming. We were very sad to leave!

Fantastic! Can’t wait to come back again!

This house is perfect, especially for a family or a few friends. We absolutely loved the pool, it’s deep and warm, and in a beautiful yard. We walked the beach a few times but didn’t even bother going in the ocean because the pool was waiting for us (and some cute iguanas)! House is great and has everything needed plus more. Rick, the owner and Julieta, the property manager were both very responsive and helpful. They answered all our questions so quickly. La Cruz is a great small village, very friendly people everywhere we went, delicious food at the restaurants and we even found live music and dancing. So fun Can’t say enough good things, we look forward to coming back!

We are a family of four and this was our third time renting this house. Rick has done many upgrades including a heated pool, new concrete around the pool, larger privacy wall in the back yard, a new kitchen and new main bathroom. The house was clean when we arrived and is within walking distance to everything that La Cruz has to offer. We are already planning our stay for next year!
