A serene hideaway
where tradition meets tranquility

Casa Mi Casa has been a cornerstone of our family for generations, embodying the rich history and culture of Puerto Vallarta. Built in the traditional adobe style of the 1940s, our home reflects the timeless charm of Mexican architecture.

No TVs. WiFi when you want it. Open-air living with ocean breezes and cobblestone streets below. We've been welcoming guests for nearly 20 years — before the apps, before the algorithms. We know how to make you feel like a local.

Located in legendary Gringo Gulch, just above the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe — a stone's throw from the Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor house.

You'll also get a feel for what it's like standing on the terrace at sunset, watching the city lights come on below the Cathedral.

Every evening the sky above Banderas Bay turns to fire.
The pirate ship sails at night. The bells wake you gently each morning.
This is what you came for.

The Malecón is your front yard

The iconic boardwalk where Puerto Vallarta comes alive — day, night, and every golden hour between.

The Pacific turns to gold

The bronze seahorse has been the symbol of Puerto Vallarta for decades — it sits right at the start of the Malecón.
From Casa Mi Casa, it's your first landmark on the walk down.

What our
guests say

We've been to Puerto Vallarta many times, but staying at Casa Mi Casa was something else. Waking up to that view every morning — the cathedral, the bay, the light — it changed us.

The hosts know everyone in town. Best restaurant tips, a driver who actually knew where we were going, front-row access to the Día de los Muertos parade. This is how PV is supposed to feel.

Chicago · VRBO · November 2024

I came here burned out and left feeling like myself again. No TV, no noise — just the sound of the city, the ocean breeze, and a balcony I never wanted to leave. Already planning my return.
