Puerto Vallarta, also known as Vallarta or PV, boasts of some of the best beaches in Mexico, which is why it is not surprising why it has garnered a reputation for being a favorite resort town amongst travelers. Its gorgeous coastlines and fun water activities, however, are not the only things that it offers. It also has vibrant art and food scenes: shopping for artwork and trinkets at the flea market is an experience in itself, as is choosing among the dozen dining options in the area. Party lovers should also not miss out on checking out the nightlife in this town. Choose among these Airbnb vacation rentals if you want to complete your Puerto Vallarta experience.
1. Beautiful views of the mountain and the bay (from USD 33)
This room for rent, which fits up to two guests, is in a penthouse apartment that gives people fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and the bay. Arguably the biggest advantage of staying here, however, are the hosts themselves, who treat their tenants as family members and go out of their way to be accommodating to their needs. Guests enjoy shared access to the common areas in the apartment (the kitchen, the living and dining rooms, the sun deck, and the terrace). The property is right in the downtown area and within walking distance from the beach.
