Excellent hostess !! Always worried about being in continuous contact and responding almost immediately to any doubt, once the place got a translator to facilitate communication, meanwhile house moon has a superb view of the bay of Yelapa, the setting is rustic but with the essentials for a comfortable stay, I recommend it for adventurous travelers since you are in intimate contact with nature.

Casa Luna is a great little palapa, everything you need! The only down side for those who never been to Yelapa, is that half the town is in the shade early in the day and the area where casa luna is has no sun at all inless you take a walk to the beach area. Other then that we loved it there!

Wow! This place is a dream. I stayed here with a group of friends (there were five total) and we had the most amazing time. The house is a dream come true, super clean, perfect living space, right above the ocean and in the jungle. Yelapa is a great place to escape for awhile, we stayed for 3 nights, and wished we could have stayed longer. Be sure to check out Los Abuelos restaurant, and we also hiked to the waterfall. Chrissi was amazing! She made sure our stay was perfect, and guided us through all aspects of staying in Yelapa. Fully recommended! We are dreaming of coming back.

Casa Luna stole all our hearts. We were two couples traveling with one kid each. We fit perfectly. The Casa is rustic but charming as is Yelapa. Chrissi and her husband Steve were warm and welcoming. Make sure to follow their food recommendations: the Pay lady, Pollo Bollo, and Tacos y Mas! We loved traveling th e foot paths everywhere, swimming in the nearby mini playa Isabel, and thr waterfall. Hope to go back again someday. Thank you Chrissi!

I rented Casas Sol and Luna for my 40th birthday... 12 of us for a ladies getaway celebration! Anne, David, and Bruce were all wonderful and the casas were amazing! Everything was as described and it was exactly what we needed! It was very easy to walk to town, hike to the waterfall, eat delicious food in town, and go on a boating trip to (even more) secluded beaches! I highly recommend Yelapa and Casas Sol/Luna for anyone looking for a unique getaway vacation!

We had a fantastic time at Casa Luna in Yelapa. It was a little tropical paradise away from the usual touristy hustle and bustle. We loved snorkeling right off of playa Isabel, hiking to the waterfall and swimming, eating delicious food, and boating to las Marietas. Casa Luna was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to friends and probably will be back someday! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

If there were more than five stars - this would get it! Yelapa is amazingly beautiful. Chrissy was an excellent host. An amazing, memorable trip! We will be returning again and again!

Chrissi is a fantastic host. We had good conversations while still having plenty of privacy. We had a fantastic time in this rustic setting. Yelapa is a fun little village, with plenty of good restaurants. Don't miss the waterfall. I highly recommend both Yelapa and Casa Luna.

If you want to fall asleep with the sound of waves crashing on the beach then this is your place. Do not expect a luxurious apartment, rather, a genuine apartment in fitting with the small fishing village of Yelapa, only accessible by boat. To note: I would not consider the place to be child-friendly which is stated. Yelapa has almost 3rd world infrastructure, which I loved, getting away from the luxuries we all depend on in everyday life! So bear this in (URL HIDDEN) flushing toilet paper down the toilets...bugs...etc... Allison's place is huge! 4 double beds. 2 completely indoors 2 covered by a canopy. The balcony is of equal propertion and could accommodate a large group. Location wise the apartment is right between the beach and the village with max 10-minute walk to anything important. (bar the Waterfall, which is a wonderful 2hr trek into the jungle) Staying in Yelapa is almost like going back in time. Wonderful place. And to think I boarded a plane in SF in the morning and by 6pm I was here...... fantastic :) I'll be back

A beautiful house and view, very recommend to a nice vacation.

Allison's place has a view to die for! It is very roomy and spread out, we loved the outdoor beds and hammocks -none of us slept indoors throughout our stay! The place is basic but clean, on the beach and you have all the essentials to have a relaxed stay. Some things to know -there are stone steps to climb from the beach to the house and then from the house to the town, so not for people who have issues climbing. Also, the landlords below are not available all the time, so please be patient. We cooked a few meals and the place has all the equipment you need to cook a full meal, but the pantry is pretty much empty. Fortunately, there is a grocery store just 10 min away and you can get almost everything you need there. We loved staying here and loved Yelapa -it was a magical experience, don't miss the stars at night from the hammock :)

Centrally located gor any stay in Yelapa and Easy to get to from anywhere! For us it was a perfect spot to see, visit, dine and relax with family coming in from all over. We are Very familiar with yelapa-but if you arent, Allison gives very clear and accurate descriptions and instructions. And, all of us, at some point this week were wooed to sleep by the patio hammocks! Stay here! Its great!

Hard to beat the view! Very rustic, but that is part of the charm of Yelapa and why we came. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Vallarta!

The place has a spectacular view of the beach ocean and valley. Yelapa is a must and it has trained most of its Provincial charm despite its growing popularity.

I would highly recommend Allison's place! We would stay there again in a heartbeat. The view and the location by the beachwere perfect for us. We loved the outdoor beds listening to the waves and frogs! Barely affected by mosquitoes and perfect temperatures. We loved Yelapa and some of its cute little restaurants with live music. Not too busy even at a really busy time of year for mexico and lots of fun to be had.

Cute place with a great view! Highly suggest it! Lindo lugar con una vista increible

Loved our stay! Pamela was very curtious and welcoming. We will definitely be back at Pamela's place next time we go back to Yelapa :)

Pamela was very accommodating and her home is lovely. Perfect location between the beach and town-within walking distance of everything; restaurants and tiendas nearby. Open air floor plan, beautiful garden and a wonderful space.

Be warned: the house is rented to another person! The house is really cute and would be perfect for a get away to the beach if it weren't rented to another guy who is almost never there but sometimes shows up (as you would if you had rented it for the whole year as he claims he did). It happened to us: on our first night at the house, the tenant showed up and explained to us that we were in his house and that this had happened before. We called Pamela to get some explanations but she gave us a different and less convincing version of the story. In the end he didn't stay at the house but I wanted to warn other travelers so that you don't experience the same thing.

Thank you Pamela! Everything was superb!

Pamela should not be an airbnb host, and Casa Shambhala should not be rented as an airbnb. Our communication was sporadic at best from the start. We received directions via email a few days before & it was only upon our arrival that we realized how bad they were. We trekked up tiny steep pathways with our heavy packs & were only able to find the Casa after asking several random people in the town. When we arrived, we were unsure if we were at the right place since it looked like a storm had just come through. It was very dirty. Small objects were strewn around and there was a large pile of dirt, branches and debris in the corner. I had texted Pamela several times in different ways & heard nothing back prior to our arrival, so I wasn't surprised to see no one was there to greet us. Finally someone showed up after I called & got through to her. She would not be there for our stay, so she sent Juan. He was nice & showed us to our place. At best Casa Shambhala could be called open-air camping, at worst a very poorly built glorified children's tree house. There were no keys because there are no locks or doors. There is no hot water, or walls--just sheets, which don't even serve to cover the whole exterior. The bathroom is basically an outhouse right next to the shower which is open air at the top & right nest tot the road. There is no privacy whatsoever, which is made even more important considering the fact that there is a road which wraps around two sides of the casa and allows pedestrians to look right in. The bed (the only thing without a thick layer of grime) was a foam "mattress" laying on top of wooden slats that I could feel as soon as I laid down. As if this wasn't bad enough, we experienced a 4:30 am "break-in" where someone wearing boots jumped down onto the first floor from the road. We immediately tried sending Pamela at least 7 distress texts and called her twice. Not only did she not send anyone to help, she didn't even respond until 14 hours later! This was our exchange: At 5am we wrote: “Pamela—what time does the juice stand open?” “We just heard someone” “We are very scared. Someone jumped onto the porch wearing boots.” “Is there anyone you can send over?” “We need your help” “Can you send someone to help us?” “We are not safe” At 9:28pm Pamela wrote us just one text: “I just found out…the person is a worker that was hired to build a wall in between the 2 properties."

Pamela was a very helpful host! Hint hint to any wary travelers: pay special attention to the water taxi schedule and times! Otherwise, Yelapa is always great!

Casa Shambhala was wonderful...Open-air, colorful and in a great location between 'town' and the beach. Pamela was a great host. She came to meet us when she arrived in Yelapa on our last day. As we were her first airbnb renters, she was very excited to hear our comments and suggestions about the house. She insisted I leave a list and that we leave all of our things at her house next door while we spent the day at the beach and snorkeling. By the time we came to get our bags in the late afternoon, the upstairs had already been re-arranged per our suggestion. Amazing view of the bay and beach from upstairs! Very comfortable and affordable space, with a truly dynamic owner who is excited to host visitors to her home. I highly recommend staying here!

Just as beautiful as the pictures show and also super centrally located between the larger beach and the town itself which was exactly what we were looking for. An AMAZING view of the scenery accompanied by the sound of crashing waves just be below your balcony. Just an FYI that, like most homes in Yelapa, it's open air so you will experience bugs in the evenings, but we found that leaving the lights on when we went to dinner prevented some bugs (tree ants would invade the apt otherwise). They provide mosquito nets for sleeping but we didn't use them and the climate is amazing so we were never hot (we were there in May). Also, be aware that it's several sets of stairs from the main town street down to Casa Papaya which is lower on the cliff just over the water. With those two disclosures in mind, we loved it and would definitely stay there again! The Garcia rentals people which manage casa papaya were very helpful and can help you line up other activities or needs. As an unexpected bonus, they even have a private section of the beach with their own umbrellas and lounge chairs!

Great place to relax, amazing views! Fast, easy check in. Very hospitable.

Our stay in Yelapa was great. We enjoyed the beach, the town and the great view from our room. The three star rating is for two reasons. First, our communications with the host were a bit frustrating. We had texted via the Airbnb app before saying what boat we were taking and the time we would arrive. When we arrived from the water taxi at the town dock the host told us to expect a greeter who would show us the room. However, we arrived to nobody. The town had limited cell service so we found a cafe, bought a beer and hooked up to wifi to contact the host. After no response to an Airbnb message and a text message we called the host. She summoned the greeter who later met us at the cafe. Second, the room was as promised but hardly clean. Yelapa was our third stop during our trip and it was the least clean accommodation. The most striking moment was when we unfurled a blanket to find it covered in dust balls. Instead we allowed our beach blankets to double as bedding. Neither of those issues were too painful but both issues were annoying enough to knock some stars off the rating.

Our stay in Yelapa was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals at Taqueria Los Abuelas and Tacos y Mas. The fresh fruit juice stand was also delicious. Make sure you know that you can use the staircase to the beach via Garcia Rentals as well as the chairs and umbrellas. There are grocery stores and liquor stores in Yelapa for your convenience. It's helpful to bring a thermos or Yeti to help keep your drink cold on the beach as well as decreasing the overall trash imprint. Come to Yelapa...you'll never want to leave...

Casa Papaya is located 30 feet above the waves crashing into the rocky shore. The space is open to the sea and the view is amazing of the entire Yelapa beach and coastline. The kitchen has everything you need for simple meals and the mosquito nets over the beds were a fun and helpful addition which kept us safe from bites all night. Highly recommended as long as you don't need Internet - you can download your mail but there is not enough speed to watch video or download files. This is true all over Yelapa.

Casa papaya was great, nice and clean, right beside the ocean and close to town. Would be staying again - highly recommended!

The place is very good, has everything you need for a good rest, the kitchen is very complete, and the cleanliness of the place is good. The only thing that could indicate how negative is that you do not have internet service in the room, or at least people in charge knew not tell us how to connect, but suffice to say it was a tiny to see the great view that has the casita problem. Overall the stay at Casa Papaya was very good. Thank you! Safe return.

We had a wonderful stay here. Perfect location between the beach and town. Great view of the bay!

I could gush and gush and gush. I love this house. Very well appointed in the classic Mexican style. The house is the highest on the hill and the view is amazing. If you do not like stairs this home is not for you. It is a hike but so worth it all those stairs give you so much privacy. The home is well appointed with a full size fridge even a blender. The house is very secure and the beds are so comfortable. I will be staying every year when possible. Love it!

Had a lot of steps but it was totally worth the view once you got up. beautiful spot nice and airy and you can oversee the whole town

This is literally the coolest space ever to rent. It's so private yet so accessible to everything you need! The view is mind blowing and the host/hostesses are so helpful!

This casita was perfect for my boyfriend and me. It is in a great location, close to both the beach and the pueblo. It has an amazing view and seems to be some of the most private accommodations in this central location. But with the privacy comes lots and lots of stairs. Seriously, we are both fairly fit and would end up at the house very winded. Which is great if you want to work off some calories, but not so great if you are physically unable or have children (no railing). We counted, in total, 180 stairs down to the beach. The rooms themselves are very basic but the outdoor patio and kitchen more than make up for it. Also, the wifi works great. The downsides: there is no safe or lock box, no ac (which we really didn't need during the dry season) and there is no hot water heater. I think that the water is passive solar so in the evening it would get fairly warm but morning showers were chilly. Seniorita Josefina stops by every few days to sweep the patio and take out the trash. She is very friendly and accommodating but doesn't speak English all that well. We got by just fine with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate. Overall we had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying here again in the future.

The view is amazing, the lodging is rustic as is mentioned by others. It was very central, a short walk to the beach or the pueblo. We liked the stairs, it was just good exercise. That being said if you have a physical ailment this would not be a good choice of a place to stay. It is helpful to know some spanish as Pedro has some English, but it is limited, and his mom's English is limited as well. There is a big cement block in the kitchen, it would be best to brace the refrigerator door with it as the coatimundi will raid the fridge in the middle of the night if you don't. It appears they relly like tortillas. Overall, we had a great stay, it was nice having privacy, but being able to watch what was going on down on the beach and choosing the best times to go play without the crowds.

One of the best views in Yelapa and close to everything. You might have read about the 125 stairs to the top, but that's the cost of such a private and amazing little place. We had total privacy for 3 days. Five gallons of drinking water were provided in the wonderful outdoor kitchen. Both rooms have a large bed, each with a keyed exit. The bathroom is off the house but is very clean with a tiled overhead shower. We would love to rent this place again next time we are in Yelapa.

What an experience Yelapa is! It is truly stunning and remote. Maria was kind enough to come find us at the pier because it is a difficult place to find. But because it's so difficult to find, you feel like you have a beautiful mountain side all to yourself with absolutely gorgeous views of the bay, the boats, and the bars. We stood staring off the living room area over the bay for a good 2 hours before finally getting up to explore the town. Everything is within walking distance - it's no time at all down to the beach, and a short short walk into town. There are groceries near by, a great group of friendly locals who own stores and restaurants, and a beautiful hike to the waterfall upstream not far away. I highly suggest this place to those who want privacy, a place to cook with convenience, and to eat/lounge looking out over one of the best views I've ever had in an Airbnb. A lot of wildlife at your doorstep, and some bugs, and a constant rooster's crow, but that's the charm of Yelapa. It really was an amazing experience and I will be back! Thank you for your place and for communicating my arrival so well with me, Pedro.

We really couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Casa Vista Bahia. We got off the boat at the main Pier, asked some ladies if they knew where the house was, and one of their sons walked us through the village up the stairs, where our hostess was waiting. The house is just remote enough to be very private, but close to the beach and the pueblo too. We woke up every day to have coffee on the patio overlooking the bay and watch the birds in the trees. It stayed nice and cool at the house, and quiet except for the birds, and coatimundis in the trees one night...Our first thought was, monkeys?! We brought food supplies from Puerto Vallarta, but the tiendas in Yelapa were really well stocked. Things we didn't need to buy (already at house): coffee filters, salt, bottled water, soap. Things that were nice to have: candles (we left some there), bug spray (just a few at night) We both left thinking we could've spent the next 6 months in Yelapa, at that house.

The stay in the place was amazing. The deal was always very friendly. Everything is designed with very good taste. We will definitely return!

Tatiana was great with communications on how to get to her space in Yelapa. We took the water taxi from Puerto Vallarta and everyone knew Jeff. We got off the taxi and while we were having a cold beverage, Jeff had sent down someone to meet us to help with our luggage. The entire stay was perfect like this. Jeff suggested some great restaurants in the village which we excellent (and they only take pesos...bring more than you think you need.) The tree house was amazing - we barely slept the first night watching the moon rise over the mountains and watching the stars! Our four teenage children absolutely loved the cool, fresh water pool and the passion fruit! The kitchen was fun too but we ate out more than cooked. It has everything you need. The space was meticulously maintained and everything was clean considering that there isn't any doors! Yelapa is an amazing place to relax and slow down. Vereda is a special place to do that! Thanks Tatiana and Jeff - we would love to revisit on our next trip to Puerto Vallarta!

We had a magical stay at Vereda! Jeff was a terrific host (we didn't get to meet Tatiana)--so warm, hospitable, and kind. He gave us solid local tips, very kindly invited us out for new years, and was discreet at the same time. We enjoyed chatting with him and learning about his vision for sustainable tourism jn Yelapa, and all the great work he's doing to that end. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, we enjoyed both going into town and just relaxing jn the hammock and taking advantage of the great kitchen. They've done a great job. Highly recommended!

If you get a chance to stay in Yelapa, I highly recommend staying at Jeff's palapa paradise. The rooms are open, clean, fresh, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We appreciated all of the local tips Jeff had to offer, and made two delicious trips to the Los Abuelos restaurant. The communal kitchen is a joy to cook in and has everything you need to prepare a meal. Finally, the pool is an amazing aspect of the property. We were content spending the whole day lounging around the property--reading under the shade screen, popping into the pool, and having everything we needed close at hand. We will definitely be back!!

Was a true pleasure to stay here. Photos don't do it justice.

Paradise found. Jeff met us from the water taxi and the minute we put our feet on the sand the Yelapa vibe hit us. What a beautiful place. We walked across a beautiful shallow river and up to Verada with beaming smiles knowing that we had chosen the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. Case M. What can I say. It was breathtaking. To wake up to the jungle view each morning was magical! Jeff is a wonderful host and runs a fabulous AirBnB. Thank you!

This a beautiful paradise nestled in the jungle and an easy walk to the village of Yelepa. Our room was clean, nicely furnished and next to wonderful outdoor pool. Just the ticket for relaxing after a hike to the waterfall or to town for lunch. Jeff was very helpful with suggestions for activities and restaurants. The open air kitchen was wonderful and a great place for hanging out in the morning over coffee. Jeff makes a great french press coffee! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

What a fantastic spot!! If you are looking to get away, unplug and just chill out, this is the place! It's simple and gorgeous. It is also a work of art - in progress. Jeff, Tatiana's partner, was working on the property while we were there - he was very considerate about noise and needs, but we're also DIY'ers, so made it feel even more like home to have some projects going on. I thought the room could not look as good as these photos on the airbnb site, but they're really true to form. You also need to understand that you're in a jungle when you're staying here - lots of bugs, a walk through the river to most easily get to/from the place, snakes and iguanas are about - but it just adds to the adventure if you're up for that. Also, a great feature that wasn't mentioned on the description - they have water from a well that is filtered for drinking, so you're able to drink water from their kitchen tap - seemed like a luxury while in Mexico! The place is set back from the "road" and is about a 15 min walk into "town". Felt just right to be a little away from the center for us, but good to know you're not right near anything. Thank you so much Jeff and Tatiana for sharing your place with us! It was the most relaxing 5 days I've had in I don't know how long - perfecto!

Mira mar Manta Rey was a wonderful experience I look forward to staying there again! Yelapa is a sweet wonderful town.

Kendra was literally the most attentive host I have ever experienced. The space was just lovely and the view was breathtaking. I would recommend to anyone!!

Gorgeous holiday space, everything you could want to escape from the world. A dream.

Mira Mar is a very special place and Kendra and Fernando make you feel like at home. The place is very well located, close to the town, but not so close that you hear the nightlife. At the same time we were near to the beach, close enough to hear the surf crashing on the rocks. The best part about it is the private deck with an amazing view of the bay and diving pelicans.

Case Miramar was better than you can imagine. Better than the photos. When arriving we were greeted by Fernando. He was very easy going. Great host. Just told us what we needed to know and let us do our own thing but was always was there when we needed him. Let me just say...the view from our room was stunning. It literally looked like a painting. Also, the whole town is peaceful and wonderfully quite. I have stayed in many 5 star resorts and let me tell you. ..I've never had better sleep. I know there is no A/C and my boyfriend was a little skeptical about staying here because of it....but you are steps away from the ocean. Our solution was take a dip in the ocean, air dry and turn that fan on high and wait for that beautiful breeze coming through your balcony. Speaking of (URL HIDDEN) is not a shared balcony. Woohoo! It is your very own and it is a lot bigger than in the photos. Also it was super fun to get around town here. The people are so helpful and just kept to themselves. Always smiling. You really feel safe here. I recommend you eat at the restaurant Lagunitas and watch the sunset. It was really romantic cause it is all candle lit. No artificial light which makes for a more spectacular sunset. My only dilemma was I wish we stayed longer. We booked two days here and because US Air ways messed up our flight we only stayed one night. Now although we only stayed here one night, we were still completely satisfied. We were so happy we found this place. We relaxed and just made the most of our day. We had also booked another 5 star resort for the remaining days of our vacation and really just wanted to come back to yelapa. Such a great little gem of a place. Loved it so much! We will be coming back.

Casa MiraMar is magical! I have longed to be back there since I have left. If I am ever fortunate enough to visit Yelapa again I will definitely stay at casa MiraMar. The house is so clean and cozy and the terrace is huge with the most amazing view ever! The bed is so comfortable and hanging out in the hammock on the terrace listening to the ocean is about as good as life gets. It is close to the main beach where people seem to hang out, but there is also a lovely beach right outside your door and down the stairs. Best place ever! Close walk to the quaint town as well. Thank you so much for your hospitality and letting us stay in your lovely magical home!!!

This place more than met our expectations. Situated perfectly between the town and the main beach, not to mention the amazing deck and hammock at the casa, we were spoiled for choices of what to do each day. Fernando and Kendra were wonderful hosts, sharing their local knowledge and making sure we were comfortable from check in to check out. We will keep great memories of the trip and hope to return again soon.

Great spot! Great people

I did not actually stay at this Casa, I rented it for my mother and sister for a wedding, although I have stayed at Garcia rentals before. All of Garcia's casitas are dreamy. They all are clean, have breathtaking views, and the staff could not be more accommodating. My mother can be a bit picky and does not generally like the "outdoors" but she was blown away by the beauty of the casa and the views. We will always book Garcia whenever we visit Yelapa (as long as their is availability, they can fill up quick because of the quality)!

Easily accessible, safe, beautiful views, centrally located in the middle of everything with private stair access to the road to town, all amenities provided (even Tupperware and a blender!) Bring a flashlight for nighttime if you plan on walking back from town after sunset!

Love the view but the service was terrible. Upon check out they were rushing me before check out time. They load my stuff unto a water taxi and off we went. To my surprise the taxi did not go to my destination but unk to me to another beach. I called them and ask them if they could send the right water taxi to pick me up and was told it was not their problem when they placed me on the boat. I was left stranded on a beach hours from my destination. Thankfully some locals helped us.

Exactly as described. We decided on Vista del Mar 1 which had a fantastic view and was only a few steps up from the private beach this rental is on. Also the rental afforded easy access to town, but be prepared to walk some stairs if you choose a rental closer to the beach. Everybody who worked at this rental was extremely friendly and helpful, we had no problems taking the water taxi as employees of this rental handled contacting them and putting our luggage on the taxi. Excellent view, great location. Would definitely stay here again!

Cyinthya's place is directly on the beach and is everything you would want for a stay in Yelapa. The room was as pictured with no windows and complete openness. It was amazing listening to the crashing waves in the evenings.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was clean and spacious, staff very helpful and friendly. Location is fantastic, right on the beach!

This place is great.

Amazing place with truly impressive views. Feels like you're on the edge of the world. You can hear the ocean from the beds. Very calming. One of the best stays I've ever had.

Jean was very hospitable. She took us to a private pool one day and shared food with us. The upstairs was quite small for 4 people and the photos are a little confusing as to what you get depending on how much you pay. Truly this is glorified camping, if it rains you'll get wet and so will your stuff. It had a beautiful view! The trail to the house is difficult but fun for people who like adventures. Jean was a little intense, wanting things her way (as far as beds go) but she was also helpful and kind.

Staying with Jeannie was like staying with a caring relative. She made sure I was warm and comfortable and showed me around town before leaving me to my own devices. She teaches Spanish classes so is pretty busy and also is pretty social, knowing a lot of the local people in the village. Her house is high up on the hill, with a short beautiful little hike up to her house through the trees. One should be physically fit to get here, as it requires climbing up steps and being able to travel across uneven terrain. The accommodations are on the roof with a gorgeous view of the bay. It is an open air, suspended bed. She was so sweet, she would make me coffee in the morning and I would read and enjoy the view on the roof where she has chairs and a hammock as well. In the afternoons I would chill on the beach, go swimming or go on a little hike. I really enjoyed my stay at Jeannie's:)

Excellent place to spend a few days of real rest !, an incredible view from the terrace and a great experience leaves you stay at home choncho, Jeannie is an excellent hostess and recommends places that really worth it! 100% recommendable!

A little home set in the Yelapa trees. Jeannie's place is wonderful - the stars at night, the birds in the morning, and a view that can't be beat. Jeannie maintains her space with pristine affection and knows nearly everything about Yelapa and the surrounding areas. We loved going to sleep with the crickets and waking up with the birds. There is a small staircase up the hill to get to her place and Yelapa has plenty of winding streets and staircases. Keep this in mind as you search for a place! thanks Jeannie!

Jeannie's place is a beautiful gem! Located high up on the hilltop, the views of Yelapa were spectacular! Every night we went to sleep in a canopy and woke to wonderful birds singing everywhere. It was magical! Jeannie was super accommodating and wonderful to just hang out and talk with. This is truly a special place, and we cannot wait to come back again. Thank you so much for everything!

Great secluded house, up the hill. Amazing views, close to nature, and also short walk to all great places in village. Very knowledgeable and accommodating hostess! Make sure that you are ready for walking up many stairs (what is fun) and staying overnight right in the jungle (what is even more fun :)

We rented the roof top of Jeannie's place, which kisses the jungle. We were among the birds and trees. It's open with fabulous views of the bay and a delightful breeze. Yet, it is also just a few minutes walk to any of the better restaurants in town. Jeannie was a wonderful host, assisting in every possible way and taking on hikes into exquisite places that were off the tourist track. Overall, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Allana was helpful and quick to answer my questions prior to arriving. Jerry greeted me off the boat, and was also helpful with places to eat, and visit while there. I would suggest ear plugs at night, as the roosters, dogs, 4 wheelers, and music could interrupt sleep if a light sleeper. The cats and dog made the place feel at home. Great food and people in Yelapa.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Second time staying with Jerry. Just as wonderful as the first!

Really enjoyed our stay in Cabana 4

Jerry & Alanna are the epitome of perfect hosts. They were friendly, generous, pleasant, knowledgeable, fun, and just all around great people. We had a great stay with them and would recommend them to anyone, any age, any time.

La Joya is centrally located just off the main beach of Yelapa, just a few steps and you are on the beach. Jerry is a gracious host. She helped us every step of the way from letting us know which river crossing was the best to take each morning to connecting us with locals. We enjoyed an amazing day of fishing, snorkeling, and whale watching. We attended a fundraising event for the local kids dance group, and enjoyed an incredible performance. We also caught a football game against another village, took a burrow trip up river to the waterfalls, and ate at almost every restaurant in the area including Manguito's, Tacos y Mas, Yacht Club, Ray's, Cafe Bahia, Fanny's, Mimi's Cafe, Oasis, and chicken from the guy up river! La Joya is located right off the beach, and there is a lot of activity in this area. If you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs. The roosters will wake you up early, but this is true just about everywhere in Yelapa. If you have some extra space in your travel bag, consider bringing cat food or dog food.

It was just perfect! 2 steps from the beach, we fall asleep with the sound of waves and roosters. This bay is full of activity populated fl smiling and welcoming people. The village is 10 minutes walk and offers many delightful places. Go there immediately,

Jerry is the town favorite! Everywhere you go, they all know and love her. She will tell you everything you will ever need to know such as events, locations or where to eat. The palapas are clean, comfortable and the private garden has lots of friendly kitties to play with while you drink your coffee in the morning. This place is a great value and we really recommend you stay here.

The house looks exactly as the pictures, everybody on Yelapa is very friendly, Yelapa is a very safe place, we love it !

This is a spacious and comfortable house with a terrific view of the cove. Though, I can understand visitors wanting to stay right on the beach, we especially enjoyed walking through town and feeling more a part of the community. Arrival was easy and communication worked fine, even though we booked last minute. Just be sure to read through the details Scott sends you. Important things like no ATMs. We LOVED Yelapa and will definitely be back.

We were greeted by Diego at the pier upon arrival. He took us through the pueblo to our Casa. The Casa was spacious and had everything you need. The views and location were great for a walk into town for dinner, etc. we really enjoyed our stay. The tip sheet was very useful. Our favorite spot to eat was Cafe Bahia!!

Scott and Grace happened to be there when we arrived so we had a very warm welcome! A lot of what they did though was before we even arrived. They did a great job of communicating details by email and had done things like arranged to have someone meet us at the pier to help us locate the house (absolutely necessary.) The house is exactly as advertised and we really enjoyed our stay there.

We really enjoyed our stay in Yelapa thanks to S & G. We appreciated the full kitchen, CD collection, board games, the hammock, and the open views. S & G were also very open and communicative which was helpful. Great hosts.

My stay at Casa Joanie was truly unforgettable. Waking up every morning to the perfect sunrise and singing birds, falling asleep every night to the sound of the surf. The decor in the casa is also so cheerful and interesting, it is a perfect home base for all kinds of exploring in and around yelapa. I'm homesick already!

Beautiful views, the house fits 5 comfortably. We had a lovely stay and hope to go back. It is worth it having Diego meet you at the pier, it would be difficult to find the house at first otherwise.

Scott, Grace, and Diego were all perfect hosts, couldn't have been more accomodating! The neighborhood is charming, and the locals are nothing but hospitable and friendly. It's all open air and patios, nature sounds and hammock time. Absolute paradise!

Oh lovely Yelapa. Casa Joanie was everything we hoped for. Great view, clean, creatively furnished. Jose, Diego's dad, was kind enough to carry our bags to the casa, and we knew that the family would help us with whatever we needed. Be ready for the long stairway up to the house, but the view was worth every step. Also loved the fact that there were actually separate sleeping areas with separate bathrooms. Nice. And even the Wifi worked! (Often better than in Vallarta) Loved our stay. Gracias!

I am debating how to rate our experience in Yelapa. I camp all of the time, so I am used to rustic. But Wifi was advertised, we had none. Directions...nope. Communication even a month out, a week out, 3 days prior to arrival...NOPE. The views from the place were amazing, location in town perfect. Rain leaking through the roof when trying to sleep, not so perfect. Definitely, not worth $52, maybe $25.

Great little Yelapa open air casita. Everything there we needed for our stay in Yelapa. Clean and welcoming. A little challenging to get up into the casita, but all in Yelapa is an adventure, and the view was worth it. Would stay again.

Yelapa lodging house was excellent in my opinion, is an economical place for adventurers who want to use it to sleep and sometimes eat because the food they offer very good on the premises. Yelapa certainly fills you with surprises, a very quiet place with always willing to help and guide those who will visit people. Besides the fact that it is a place where you can forget the bustle of the city, it offers beautiful sunrises and quiet evenings listening to the waves breaking on the rocks every night !!!! The cottage is excellent with the basics needed to enjoy their stay, only if they have to buy all the basics well if they intend to make food in the house, not to be completely closed house it is difficult keep 100% clean simpre because there will be dust and leaves that reach get to the house, but not annoying as it is part of the housing and even makes you feel at home. a very nice place, with many adventures to live and treatment of pamela was always attentive and very friendly, he answered all my !!! doubts, so as hostess highly recommend.

Casita yelapa very nice, with a very nice balcony and a very agusto bed

We loved our stay at the casita in Yelapa. Pamela's response was prompt. Though we didn't get to meet Pamela, her mom Doña Ani who is very sweet was there to welcome us upon our arrival! The casita is very charming, comfortable, and in a great location. We look forward to staying there again.

The cabaña is super cute, clean, and well located. I didn't get to meet Pamela but she was available for any questions I had. When you arrive by boat, and if they drop you off on the looker's left side, get a 4 wheeler (taxi) to take you as it would be a journey otherwise if you have baggage while looking for the place. It cost me 150 pesos. Once I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a bigger place! You can see the ocean, hear the waves, all while listening to the sounds of the jungle! Very peaceful and located perfectly in town to walk to la tienda, la playa, and restaurants. You can get fresh juice right outside in the mornings. I felt like I was in a luxury treehouse! I would definitely stay here again!!

Yelapa is a special place. for the adventuras traveller. We had seen the reviews about the donkeys and ATV's, and yes, the path goes right around the casita (about 20 ft down - biggest note is be ready for the steep stairs) but once aloft you are in a tranquil place, nice view over the beach, and the bed was so warm and comfy, as mornings can be a little chilly (but really not bad) Hike to the waterfall, vale la pena (worth the while) and Abuelo's of course, a don't miss. heard they also serve breakfast, but didn't have that pleasure. la proxima vez. great spot to really get away from it all.

The place is not what it appears on the pictures, quite spooky. Pamelas way of ignoring and denying my cancelation, was just as unpleasant. I had to contact airbnb, which had excellent service.
