A great location, beautiful view in an organized, modern and spacious condo.

This place is terrific. The location is excellent. The view is wonderful and the sound of the crashing waves which you can hear from the balcony is healing and relaxing. This condo is super organized and well stocked. The furniture is comfortable and the bed is great with comfy pillows. The air-conditioning is top notch and everything about the condo demonstrates the care and pride the owner has in his place. The art is warm and welcoming. The building has excellent security and a reliable elevator. There is also a very nice small gym in the building that is rarely occupied. There is a very comprehensive manual provided at the condo that makes everything run smoothly and easy to figure out. I wish that every place I rented was as organized, clean and up to date as this place. The layout is excellent and two washrooms are a great feature. The roof top deck with infinity pool are ideal for quiets afternoons or to watch the sunset.

A great find in a boutique building

This was our second time staying at this condo. I can't say enough about the unit, the overall building and location. There is a great rooftop pool with a dining area, outdoor kitchen and grill. The on-site gym is great for weights, a few machines and some cardio, so you really don't have to join a gym while visiting. The management company is extremely responsive and made check-in/out is really easy. And housekeeping services are including and also very professional. The kitchen is very well appointed and has just about everything you need if you choose to cook at home. The rest of the condo is terrific, very comfortable with 2 large showers and nice bathrooms. Looking forward to staying here again in 2025!

About the host

Hosted by Blair Stephenson

Beginning in 2003, it had been a dream to buy property in Vallarta and spend relaxing vacations there. This little paradise evokes the wonderful feelings I had visiting tropical places as a child, like Guaymas, Mexico, and later the same feelings I had while living in the tropics of the Philippines and Hawaii.

There is something magical about Vallarta that draws you into the town, its culture, the people. But it is thoughts of warm sun, ocean breezes, lively beaches, great food and margaritas, and the hospitality of this charming city that has me and so many others returning year after year.

Why they chose this property

I first visited Amapas 353 during its construction phase in November, 2012. The model unit was open and friends and I walked through that unit - admired the attention to detail in the construction of the building and unit, then saw the incredible view and fell in love. My friends actually bought a unit in the building that trip, but I hesitated. In June 2016, I finally have my own place in paradise and happy to own that same model unit that I walked into years ago.

Guests enjoy the property in part because Amapas 353 is within walking distance of an incredible variety of restaurants, bars, and shopping. Los Muertos Beach is known for beach clubs, some with pools, DJs, and others with music groups playing songs for young (and old) travelers. The atmosphere is lively and you are guaranteed to have a memorable experience! The Romantic Zone in Puerto Vallarta or Old Town Vallarta is a famous “people watching” location day or night. And in addition to bars and restaurants, you can also look forward to the galleries that have become a trendy stop while visiting Puerto Vallarta.

What makes this property unique

*Boutique upscale building in a great area of Amapas.
*Guests will be met by property manager at any hour.
*Rooftop infinity pool is amazing.
*Rooftop BBQ and party area.
*Gym has state of the art equipment and great for such a small building.
*Step out onto the cobblestone street and walk down 90 steps to the beach, or down the street and down a little hill (Vallarta has many - so bring walking shoes!) and find yourself in heart of the Romantica zone within 5-7 minutes.
*Taxis are everywhere, and buses are plentiful and cheap. Uber is also available.
*Restaurants, bars, shops all very close.

*Romantica zone is not always quiet - it is the hip and trendy area of Vallarta. In Amapas 353 you will hear the crashing sounds of waves from the beach, and you may hear noises from music on the beach or two night clubs in the area (no music usually after 11pm), from construction, or from the highway that runs along the east side of the building.

*The views and closeness to the beach make this building one of the best in Amapas! You won't be disappointed.
