Surrounded by lush green coastline and crystal-clear waters, this off-the-grid getaway offers a peaceful retreat with comforts like solar power, hot running water, and a fully-stocked kitchen. 9.6 Exceptional ### Entire home 1 bedroom1 bathroomSleeps 41200 sq ft ## Popular amenities ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Private Oceanside Beach Retreat - Unplug and Relax Unplug and relax in our open air palapa with an uninterrupted view of the wide open ocean and lush green coastline. This is the ultimate off the grid getaway, with just enough conveniences (fridge, hot running water, solar power) to make you feel comfortable and right at home. We are located an hour south of Puerto Vallarta in the Los Chonchos eco development which is a group of about 20 palapas spread out among the jungle hillsides and two sand beaches. A full time staff (English speaking) is onsite to welcome you when you arrive and help with anything that you need. Los Chonchos has no roads and is best reached via water taxi which leaves twice a day from Boca de Tomatlan located 30 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta. The 40 minute boat ride is a highlight of the trip as you cruise down the breathtaking Pacific coastline, stopping at several picturesque beach towns, including Yelapa. The nearby town of Chimo has roads and cars but is a 45 walk down the coast. This eco-friendly palapa runs on solar power for the lights and fridge and has outlets to charge phones and laptops. We have running water from a mountain spring, and propane kitchen range and water heater for hot showers. Most visitors are able to get internet via cell service but it can be unreliable depending on the day and your service provider so it is good to plan on being "unplugged". The palapa sleeps four comfortably (king bed plus loft) and larger groups can be accommodated if the couches and daybeds are utilized. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, glasses and utensils. Dining area with hand-hewn table/chairs with seating for four or more. Full bathroom with hot shower, sink, flush toilet. What is there to do in Chonchos? Nothing or everything depending on your mood! Kayaking, fishing, sunbathing on one of two beaches, swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, hiking, whale watching, bird watching, day trip to Yelapa or just take a nap in the hammock! Los Chonchos is truly an "off the grid" experience. There is no store so you will want to pick up groceries and supplies beforehand in Puerto Vallarta. There is a restaurant available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that can be arranged ahead of time. Just let Chef Alphonso know what your preferences are! Or order your meal to be delivered to your palapa. Fresh local fish; guacamole made from avocados just picked from the tree! Chimo is a small town, a 45 minutes hike down the coast, where you can get basic groceries, beer, and tequila. It makes a great half-day trip as there are two fantastic restaurants catering to travelers, serving fresh caught seafood and ice cold beers. The water taxi leaves from Boca de Tomatlan at 9:30am and 3:30pm. Many visitors spend a night in Puerto Vallarta before and/or after their trip depending on their flight timing. Los Chonchos is a very special place but may not be perfect for every traveler. There are no medical facilities onsite. There is also no boat dock so the water taxi is a "wet feet" drop-off/pickup that may be difficult for those with mobility issues. Our little slice of paradise is a hidden gem for those looking for a truly unforgettable escape. We look forward to sharing it with you! We have recently taken ownership of this special place after visiting.
