We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, situated right on the beach. The staff at the house, Fortino, Juan and Metarli, were kind and very welcoming. In fact, Juan made guacamole for us upon our arrival. We bought groceries on our way to the house and enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped with anything we needed. We also enjoyed having Marina cook for us a few nights. That was a real treat! The meals were incredible. The location of Casa Serena is perfect as well. We were a 10 minute drive to great surfing, 5 minutes to the small downtown of Punta Mita and an easy car drive to other great towns to explore like Bucerias, Sayulita and San Pancho. We rented a car in Puerta Vallarta, but heard it is easy to uber around the area if you don't have a car. We will definitely look forward to staying again at Casa Serena.

Exceptional!!! My family will be returning year after year. This was the most beautifully kept home with the most breathtaking views and the waves lul you to sleep every night! I have extremely high expectations for my vacations and this was by far the most exquisite, romantic, fun, relaxing, pampering trip I have ever been on. It is all due to the extreme care of the property taken by the owners and the meticulous to detail of the landscaping, pool and home. I will be bringing my entire family next year! Just book it. You won't regret it and it will be the vacation of your dreams!

We loved staying at Casa Serena! This property is actually on the beach and a short 5 min walk to a cute restaurant called Barracudas which had great food. We loved taking walks on the beach and then of course driving into town to Punta Mita. Our family loved our stay and would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful home on the most magnificent white sand swimming beach.

The property is even more dreamy and vibrant than the online photos in the listing. When we arrived, we were greeted by the property attendant, Juan, and shown around. It is a private lush and tropical paradise - fully equipped with everything we needed. The home is gorgeously designed and the layout is perfect. We loved the traditional Spanish architecture combined with modern upgrades and amenities. And the beach is incredible! White sand and clear, warm water. We swam every day. On the weekdays, we had most of the beach all to ourselves. The weekends were a little more crowded with local families but still much less crowded than the beaches where we live in CA. We had a wonderful cook, Marina come a few nights and cook us traditional Mexican food - highly recommend! With the pandemic, we don't go out to eat much so it was a special treat to have someone else do the cooking and clean up. If we had any questions, Elizabeth was quick to respond and help out. I can't say enough about this property - it is the perfect, safe escape from quarantine. We will definitely be back!

Great location, great home and wonderful staff.

Elizabeth’s property is absolutely incredible. It’s right on the beach, which you can’t beat, has a refreshing pool, and if you’d like breakfast or dinner prepared for you, it can be arranged. What more do you need?! Also, there are two restaurants along the beach to check out. Or, venture into town for some margaritas and other fun restaurants! We Came here for our honeymoon and we were absolutely blown away. We will definitely be back - this place is very special.

Casa Serena is beautiful, comfortable and relaxing! It has been everything we hoped it would be! Thank you Elizabeth and Juan and family for such a wonderful experience!!

Casa Serena was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. Every day we ventured out for a mini day excursion (San Pancho, jet skiing, tour of Marietta islands, restaurants) and it was a great place to come back to every day as we could spent hours in the pool or boogie boarding in the ocean. Juan came and set up the beach chairs every day and his daughter cleaned the place a couple times while we were there making us feel like we were at a luxurious resort. They were so friendly but non intrusive at the same time. Elizabeth the owner was quickly responsive to any questions that we had. Thanks for the memories and we'll definitely recommend Casa Serena too all our friends.

We had a three generation family vacation at this house. It turned out to be the perfect place for us. The house is pretty, spacious, well-designed with more features than we needed. Well equipped in terms of tools and toys in the kitchen, pool and for beach life. The children (3-7) and adults (4) played all day long in the pool or on the beach. The children couldn't really go into the sea but the constant wave action caused a lot of excitement - and also noice. We pretty well had the whole beach to ourselves, so scenic. The house keeping staff kept the house and grounds clean and tidy. We had a cook for two nights and that made our life even easier because we didn't have to worry about grocery shopping. We certainly recommend this house and location.

Absolutely a fantastic experience. Everything that was advertised and more. Beautiful home, grounds, staff and great beach. We will be back.

Gated entrance to home that when you drive in and close is great . It is an isolated spot with a botique hotel two doors down but other than that you have the beach to yourself. the house is beautiful with a full kitchen plus washer and dryer. 4Bedrooms with comfortable beds. Pillows might need a little assist but the sound of the waves crashing outside lullaby you to a restful nights rest. It is great with a short walk down the steps to the beach which is soft white sand leading into clear Pacific waters. I must admit this has to be one of the favoriteVRBO homes I have ever used. The caretakers wife will set up meals for you at extra cost if you so desire but we had hired a personal chef Wendy Galeana before we arrived,. She is also fantastic. Bring your fishing rod if that is what suits your fancy because they were jumping like crazy right off the beach. I would go again and again it is a short drive into town so if you are going to be eating out you might want to rent a car. Driving from the airport takes 30- 50 minutes depending on traffic which is amazingly heavy until you get past the small surrounding towns. Crazy great experience I'd do it again and again.

I had no expectations and was initially worried because you drive off the highway to a dirt road. However that was the last worry I had because the property was beautiful, right on the beach safe and secluded. We had the beach essentially to ourselves. If you have to be connected to the outside world this is not for you because no cable or sattellite . You get the chance to connect with each other again. 4 BR all comfy beds full kitchen washer dryer.this is on the ocean a quietstretch of beach. If you want to get away from it all this is the place.

Great house. Great beach. Really close to everything we wanted and needed. We didn't want to leave and we were sad to go. The beach beautiful quiet and very clean. The house was perfect and so was the pool. We plan to go back soon!

We just returned from a 6 day stay at Casa Serena and it was perfect. This house offers it all. Perfect views of the Pacific, perfect swimming pool and the service exceeds expectations. They have a crew that attends to your daily needs and they are so nice and helpful. Casa Serena is clean, spacious and accommodated our group to perfection. Everything you need ie food, restaurants, sightseeing and shopping is within 20 minutes of the house. We did a few side trips but spent most of our days either beach or pool side. The pool and beach are literally steps from the backdoor:) Casa Serena is the perfect place if you want privacy, but not be too far from local commerce and attractions. Thank you to the owners for allowing us the luxury of renting your home for the week!

Peace, tranquility and ease. This house was situated on a private beach with updated amenities making it a paradise you read about in fiction novels. Of all the places my wife and I could travel to, we decided to make a second visit to this particular house on our vacation because of the idyllic house, location and conditions.

Our experience at Casa Serena was fantastic! The house was a perfect beach house! If you want to sit on the beach or hang at the pool overlooking the beach, you will be in the right spot. The house met all our needs was great. It is very close to Punta Mita and not far from Sayulita. You will not be disappointed !

Casa Serena was a little slice of heaven. The property was more than we could have hoped for- complete with stunning ocean views, a private beach all our own, and a sparkling blue pool and patio. The home cooked meal that was made by Benzita was some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. The house was very close to town and the resort/golf areas, but secluded enough to come back to our private retreat. My only wish would have been to stay longer. We cannot wait to go back!

One step inside Casa Serena and you experience that rare occasion where high expectations are instantly surpassed. What a place! It's the gem inside the gem of Punta Mita. In my 5 days there I only strayed once and couldn't wait to get back. And Hotel Casa de Mita next door is the cherry on top!

Stayed at Casa Serena in early March 2014, and it was simply perfect. Breathtaking private beach, spacious home with a relaxing pool. My camera couldn't do justice to the views and right next door is a fantastic hotel that served top notch meals. Only 40 minutes north of the PV airport, this will be the only place I stay going forward when I visit Mexico. Even the town was enjoyable!!! We saw humpbacks for crying out loud! I can't wait to return.

You know how pictures are alway misleading? Whether it's a MLS listing or a social network profile picture? This place is not one of them! When I saw Casa Serena online I didn't think it could get any better, but when I arrived I was shocked that it did. It's taken care of very well, cleaning ladies come throughout the week, a guy comes and turns down the pool area in the afternoon and there is a chef you can call to cook you authentic Mexican meals any night of the week. The house is located next to an amazing boutique hotel that serves arguably the best dinner in the area as well. We are there 3 nights in a row it was so good. The pool lies above an amazing beach, so you can pick your poison during the day. The beach is in it's own small private bay, providing you with amazing morning walks, body surfing and sunbathing. It's located a 5 minute drive to town, which is nice as you feel removed in a small peice of paradise and go to sleep by the sounds of crashing waves. Being my first time in the area I was amazing at how safe it felt, locals were all very friendly and it felt as if you were part of a community. 7 of us went down, all in our mid thirties and our only wish is that we could have stayed longer. I think the house would be great for kids as well. If you can, go to Casa Serena you will love it!

Where to start... If I said that everything was great I would be lying. Extraordinary, marvelous, sensational, picturesque is more the route I take to describe my stay at Casa Serena. Serena pretty much sits on a private beach, alongside other villas, but this one is definitely the cream out of the whole villa crop. All the rooms are very well cared for and pretty much stocked with anything you can thing of. Loved the mexican (with a modern twist) styled decor. We had Betzy cook for us the night we got there... delicioso. Weather wise, it was pretty hot when we went, but we only needed the air condition at night (amazing ocean breeze coming in throughout the day). Although we went during "rainy" season, the one or two times it did rain was mainly at night or early morning. I highly recommend renting a car if your planning on doing activities. Avis at the airport gave us a great deal for seven people.. but always shop around first before you commit, and be mindful of extra conversion fees, etc. All the good activities are based out of the Vallerta area, and some have a courtesy shuttle to take you to your main destination. I recommend sailing / snorkeling at the Marietas Islands with Pegaso Charting, and going to Rancho Capomo for Horseback riding / a mini hike through the Sierra Madre jungle to get to the swimming hole at the fresh waterfall. If you want to go to an authentic town to by art / mexican trinkets I also recommend the outdoors market in Bucerias. Sayulita is more of a surfer town, cool restaurants / bars there. If your are looking for a more "happening" spot, anywhere in Downtown Vallerta is the place to go. After a full day of any activities you may have, coming home to Casa Serena is probably one of the best decisions you will make the entire trip. So peaceful, so tranquil... It. Is. Everything.
