Great stay at BVG
Posted Jan. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayWe really enjoyed our vacation at Bay View Grand. It has a convenient location, the Marina area is a short and pleasant walk away. Puerto Vallarta is larger than I thought and if needed or wanted getting a taxi, Uber, or taking the bus can all be done right outside a front gate and they are not expensive.
The complex itself is modern, clean, spacious, and looks inviting and has great ocean/sunset views. The unit we stayed in was very clean, very well appointed (including the kitchen), and very comfortable.
Dale and Marian were very attentive and offered helpful suggestions about things to see or places to go and when I asked a couple questions via email the reply was always thorough and prompt.

Perfect condo
Posted Jun. 19, 2023 on HomeAwayThe condo is clean and has everything you need for the perfect vacation. We loved the location and the huge pool and how close it was to the marina and only a short taxi or Uber ride from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to PV!

Excellent stay!
Posted Dec. 5, 2021 on HomeAwayWe thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at this beautifully decorated property. From the initial booking to check in, everything went smoothly. It’s within walking distance to the Marina, which has great restaurants and shops. The owner is a photographer and there are some amazing pictures lining the walls. Property is also nicely furnished with a very comfy master bed and highend linens. Kitchen is well stocked, and has quality appliances. There are spectacular sea views and sunsets. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. This is our home for much of the year and Puerto Vallarta is our most favorite place in the World. It makes us happy when others enjoy our home and Puerto Vallarta as much as we do.

Nice place
Posted Jun. 25, 2021 on HomeAwayNice place, Great TV, kitchen was fully equipped which was a nice treat. The only thing is that the couch was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise worth it.

Hi Carlos,
Thank you for your comments. Our Sofa and Love seat recliners have now been updated to brand new and a very comfortable Sofa and Love Seat with power recliners. There are four power recliners total. Photographs of our unit are of the new furniture.

Thank you Christine,
We enjoyed having you in our home and appreciate your kind words. The grounds and the pool are truly "fantastic". When we are in PV we like to tour other properties and we have never seen another property that comes even close to Bay View Grand.

Comfortable living
Posted Dec. 19, 2018 on HomeAwayThis place is amazing, words can’t describe the whole experience. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Monica was right there to greet us and take us to BVG. The nice cool breezes flow though the whole place, and the view is stunning. Everything you need is in this home. Large kitchen, new appliances, completely equipped. This is our 2nd time staying at Dale and Marian home. Was also a pleasure to have met Marian this trip. Thanks again for for opening up your beautiful home to us.

Thanks Walter,
It was a pleasure having you and your family stay with us a second time and we look forward to having you again next year. Marina Vallarta is truly an amazing location. It is close enough to everything to be convenient and far enough way to be private and quiet.

An exceptional property at a very reasonable price
Posted Nov. 21, 2018 on HomeAwayWe were met at the airport by the property manager, a very nice touch that was unexpected. The property is absolutely beautiful, with marble flooring throughout and fine furniture. We spent little time inside however, eating all of our meals at the condo on the deck with a spectacular view. Everything in the condo was exactly as advertised, and everything worked well. We arrived just before Hurricane Willa and Hurricane Xavier made their appearances, and although things were a little out of the normal for a couple of days, watching the staff of Bay View Grand put all of the lawn furniture up and securing things for the storm and putting it back afterwards showed that they'd done this before and were very well organized. Things were back up and running quite quickly. The staff at Bay View Grand, from groundskeepers to waitstaff, were always polite and pleasant. The gym at Bay View Grand was world-class with numerous treadmills, exercycles, and ellipticals, a weight room with free weights and machines. The importance of this was evident after eating at some of the restaurants in the area. Otherwise, I'd be buying a new and larger wardrobe. The Pool, or four pools, to be more precise were spotless all the time, though the heater could have been turned on a few days earlier. Transportation was easy, with busses and taxis always available, and not really all that necessary for going to the Marina for shopping or meals. Watch out for the cocodrillos (crocodiles). We never had any problem with them, but some of the ones we saw in the Marina were huge! We loved it here and will return again.

Thanks Walter and Alicia,
One of our new slogans is "Puerto Vallarta is where God vacations". There is actually no better place on earth as far as we are concerned. We enjoy sharing our home with others, and we appreciate those who respect and enjoy our home as much as we do. We look forward to your return next year.

Another wonderful visit to Puerto Vallarta
Posted Dec. 30, 2017 on HomeAwayThis is the second year we have enjoyed staying in the Hansen's Bay View Grand condo in Puerto Vallarta. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils in the event that you want to eat in and watch the sunset from the balcony. For an early riser, the sunrise over the mountains is viewable from the kitchen window or outside balcony.
Bay View Grand is a convenient 5 minute ride from the airport. You will get some airplane noise during the afternoon because of the proximity, however, it is a minor distraction while lounging in one of the four pools. The grounds are lovely and well maintained by the friendly staff.
Restaurants at the marina are within a 15 minute leisurely walk and taxis are readily available for a 20-30 minute ride to the malecon, downtown eateries and attractions.
The condo was very comfortable. The owner was very responsive to our concerns - a problem with the washer (yes, we wash clothes on vacation) was quickly resolved by the repairman. The slow internet had been upgraded and, after a couple of hiccups, all of our devices and the owners Roku television worked seamlessly. The Roku provided access to most major US channels, Netflix and more.
We look forward to our next visit and recommend the Hansen's condo for your stay in Puerto Vallarta.

Thanks Sharon and Bill,
It was a pleasure having you and your guests back in our home for another five weeks. Thank you for being patient while we changed over to a better and faster internet service, and thank you Bill for your assistance in the change over.
One can never adequately describe the beautiful Puerto Vallarta sunsets. We try to never miss one when we are there. We will be returning to our home for the Winter months and already have a list of improvements we want to make. Have a great New Year and we look forward to having you stay with us again.

Wonderful week in November
Posted Nov. 14, 2017 on HomeAwayAfter spending a week here we want to go back. The condo has everything you need for your stay. The decor is interesting, but that just adds to it. The grounds...where do we begin. After walking from the Bay View Grand down the beach past other units and hotels, BVG by far is so well maintained. The beach is well groomed. The 5 infinity pools are amazing. The snack bar at the pool is good and not as expensive as you would find at most hotels. Would we recommend this place - heck yes. The owner was very accommodating answering any questions we had before our trip and even after. The BVG is not far from the Marina and within walking distance. Cabs are always out front and security will get one for you. The bus goes by frequently - so transportation into the Malecon or anywhere else in Puerto Vallarta is convenient. This was our first VRBO rental - it will not be our last. And would love to come back to this property again.

Thank you Chris,
We have always felt that the Bay View Grand (BVG) is the best maintained, and centrally located property around. It is, however, good hearing it from someone who is not as attached to it as we are. This is our home for several months throughout the year and we enjoy sharing it with great guests such as you. Have a happy Holiday season and please come see us again.
Dale and Marian
