Why be a tourist when you can live like a local at Casitas Del Rio!

Great stay at Dixon’s place!

Beautiful apartment and terrace.

Beautiful view from I’m the terrace and residential area.

Fantastic stay! 10/10 would come back. There are restaurants and convenience stores literally around the corner and the malecón is a fun and scenic 10 minute walk 🙂 the sheets weren’t spotless and the space could use a dehumidifier but overall a great stay.

Dixon was a great and very communicative host. He provided outside pics of the place since the street view pics are outdated, provided great local recommendations, and was very flexible with specific requests that we had. The place was clean, felt safe, and was in a convenient location (just outside the busy sections of town, but close enough to walk to those same areas). We didn't use the kitchen, but it seemed well stocked for cooking. We were happy that there was a washer/dryer (shared, on the roof deck). The pool was clean but a little cold. We did come during a holiday, so there was a lot of partying going on one night and there is a nearby rooftop bar which plays music, so expect some noise into the night. Our only concern was the light mesh window coverings that covered the bedroom windows. It seemed like someone could easily see through the coverings. The building outside the window seemed to be under construction, but we did see a man on the roof one afternoon.

We loved staying in Dixon’s condo while in Puerto Vallarta!

Excelente alojamiento

We had a lovely week at Dixon's place. The condo was comfortable, clean and most of all, air-conditioned. We walked to the town most of the time and occasionally took a taxi when we had ventured further afield. Lots of great shops and restaurants close by. Fresh fish and fresh fruit and vegetables were easily accessible and we had our breakfasts and one dinner in the condo. We did not use the pool but the rooftop deck was a nice space! Dixon was good at communicating and answered any questions promptly. We felt safe in the area, even late at night.

Dixon is definitely a super host. He went above and beyond with his communication before and during the trip. He provided great recommendations and instructions. The one bedroom apartment is perfect. It has everything you need. The pool on the roof is very relaxing. Location is good and has lots of restaurants and shops around it. Definitely recommend for a trip to Puerto Vallarta!

Great place, super clean, everything that you need ., relaxing and quiet neighborhood.., love it!!

Un excellent séjour chez Dixon.

Notre hôte était très proactif et communiquait très bien avec nous. Tout le séjour, du début à la fin était sans problème.

L’emplacement était parfait pour nous, que 10-15 minutes de la plage et le marché tout prêts était parfait.

Nous avons utilisé la terrasse, BBQ et piscine à tous les jours, un must!

Si vous pensez vous coucher avant 23h, sachez qu’il y a un bar à proximité avec un band live mais ils ferment tout à 23h.

Nous recommandons sans hésitation ce condo pour sa proximité, ses commodités et pour la réactivité de son hôte.

Recomiendo ampliamente este alojamiento. La cama es súper cómoda, la regadera es perfecta, es sumamente cómodo.
La atención y amabilidad de Dixon es sobresaliente.
No duden en reservar este sitio.

Apartamento muy recomendable , bien ubicado y con todo lo necesario para una excelente estancia. Muy buena comunicación con Dixon y Mary.

Wonderful place and host! Great location, close to everything. Beautiful area with views of the lush and green mountains and river from the rooftop pool. Dixon thought of everything you could possibly need including very comfortable bed and pillows, extra pool towels, fully stocked kitchen, nice tables to work from the couch, hair dryer, gorgeous bathroom, strong water pressure and hot water showers, flat screen TVs with Netflix and more. Conveniently located near the lovely Zona Romantica and Gringo Gulch. Felt very safe and they accommodated us for any questions we had. We’re even willing to let us store our bags if we needed after checkout. Great place and we’ll definitely be back!!!😊

The place was extremely clean and comfortable at a great price. We loved the pool on the roof, it was a great way to relax at the end of the day. Dixon was extremely communicative and responsive to any questions we had and also provided local food recommendations which we loved. We always felt very safe in the neighborhood it is located in. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore PV and stay in a place with a more local vibe.

Dixon’s home is absolutely perfect. It was clean, comfortable, well air-conditioned, and had a beautiful roof deck with a pool. I hope to stay here on future trips to Puerto Vallarta!

Great stay as always. Fabulous place.

This was my third time staying at Dixon’s property. Dixon is a great communicator and if it’s within his power to make your stay more comfortable or to problem solve any issue that might arise, he will do his best to make it happen. The property is great value for the money. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay! (Added some days to prior stay, see our prior review!)

Another perfect few days at my favorite spot in Puerto Vallarta.
Dixon, an amazing host, as ever
Thank you

Really great little gem, tucked away, but close enough to Zona Romantica to make everything easily walkable/accessible. Clean, comfortable, fast wifi, GREAT pool/rooftop. Neighborhood has amazing food options too (try Balam Balam!). Was a great choice for our long term stay. Dixon was also a truly amazing host, always in touch and always working to make everything great for us. Only recommendation is if you plan to do substantial work while there, might be best to choose a higher floor away from street noise (the bedroom is isolated from it, but the living room does get some during the day). Would absolutely stay again!

El lugar es bellísimo, pasando el puente hay muchos restaurantes y mercaditos para comer, súper buena atención y todo muy limpio

Great place to stay in my favorite neighborhood!

My stay at the Airbnb was perfect. Walking distance was close to restaurants , produce, bars, etc. had a Kiosco (convenient store) right next to it. Dixon was very prompt to answer any questions. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Dixon’s condo for over a week and felt completely at home. The space was clean, modern, and had everything we needed and more. It was located on the outer side of Zona Romantica, in a more local area, so it felt really cool to immerse ourselves a bit in the local culture. There was a convenience store steps away and a market five minutes away, which made grocery shopping easy. The condo is only 15 minutes from the beach.
Besides these points, Dixon himself went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, including arranging a driver to pick us up from the airport, accommodating early check-in, sending someone with fresh towels when we needed them, and giving us lots of tips for the city including shortcuts, restaurants, hikes, book stores, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is amazing 😍 The location is a quick 10 minute walk to the beach. The area around has a ton of restaurants and bars. The apartment itself is spotless and well designed. It has a great kitchen and there is a gorgeous rooftop patio. The cherry on top is the rooftop pool. Hands down one of the most gorgeous apartments and in an unbeatable location. Dixon is a very accommodating and gracious host, and has awesome recommendations.

I really recommend this place to anyone. I had a relaxing and comfortable stay here. I loved watching the river and the bridge lighting at night. I had a great time. Thank you Dixon.

Washer/dryer, blender, dipping pool, water pressure AND a hair dryer. Color this Gringa pink. Not to mention that bed! (I stayed an extra day before leaving for Mexico City solely for the bed.) A tremendous value for budget/long travel with rooftop view of the river.
Additionally, Dixon is awesome, responsive host, and Rosy did a fantastic clean for my last minute booking.

Location wise, it's located on the skirt of ZR which makes a convenient for Uber or taxi to take the "back way"/tunnel route.

Great hybrid of amenities and location without the nightlife noise. Having a convenience store next door was also a bonus. (Your unit may or may not inherent the previous occupants coffee, sugar, salt pepper Etc.).

It's a nice condo and Dixon is the great landlord, I spent few days here and have a good experience, hope I can come again!

El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario para pasar una semana increíble, las instalaciones son muy modernas.

Próximamente 1 años

I've never written a review of a rental house before but felt compelled to this time. This was the best Air B&B my wife and I have ever stayed at. Clean, quiet, secure and located within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants. It was all it had been billed out to be and Dixon performed in a very helpful and professional manner. I do not hesitate to recommend it.

I just want to say that Dixon was a very lovely person and his communication is great. The place had a beautiful view and very clean and safe. I would say more locals stay around there but everyone is polite. Got this place last minute and it was worth it. Dixon is very sweet and understanding. The place was a lovely spot not too far from anything and I had zero issues staying here. I will definitely stay here again. Definitely recommend for two people. The pool in the roof is a perfect space that is surrounded by greenery.

We absolutely loved it here! Dixon is very accommodating and helpful. He even offered to help us arrange transportation to/from the airport. (We didn't need it, but the offer was kind.) The apartment has everything you need, ideal for a couple. It has a cute little kitchen, and a living room with a fast internet connection, (for late-night streaming.) Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-thought-out. We spent minimal time at the rooftop pool, but definitely worth checking out. What you really to know about this place is that the location puts it just across the river, so you can easily walk all the way to the beach in about 15-20 minutes, and to some of the more lively spots even quicker than that. It's great if you want to be around the action, but not directly inside it. Lots of places to get snacks, get coffee, and take it all in. I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful place to stay if you want easy access to the Zona Romántica! Very clean apartment with a comfortable bed, and the rooftop area is super nice with beautiful views. We hope to stay here again next time we’re in PV!

Great place to stay and relax with a great host. Will definitely return

Estancia acogedora y con lo necesario para estar a gusto. A sólo unos minutos del malecón. La comunicación con Dixon siempre fue muy efectiva.

Great location and walk to the beach. Even on the short walk there are so many interesting breakfast places and bars so it is always vibrant. Dixon really cares about the guests and shared all the information that one would need and even went out of the way to help. Lastly, this is a coop apartment with all the amentities and I spent relaxing time even at the apartment because it was so well decorated and spacious. I will be back next time. Sid

Dixon was an amazing host, super thoughtful and helpful. The Airbnb is about 15min walk from the beach and super cool w the pool outside.

Amazing!! The rooftop and pool was an amazing addition and Dixon was very easy to reach and super helpful with recommendations and directions. Would definitely come and stay again 🙂

No es facil de encontrar algo con una perfecta relacion precio/qualidad aqui en Vallarta
Asi que el departamento de Dixon era la mejor option para mi y la quiero recomendar al 100%.
Limpio, comodo, una teraza uniqua con una vista preciosa. Seguro que le vas a pasar muy bien tu estancia aqui.
Dixon es una persona muy reactiva y sabe ser presente por sus clientes. Chapeau y hasta luego

My friend and I- two young female graduates, decided to book a trip to Mexico to have fun and experience the authenticity of the culture. Thanks to Dixon, and this Airbnb we were able to walk to the local market of Emiliano Zapata, a few minutes away we walked to the Rio Cuale where you will find beauty in every corner if you’re looking to shop for Souvenirs, candy and clothes. We truly recommend this Airbnb if you’re looking for a place that will give a sense of authenticity in the culture and food. One of our highlights is going for late night tacos at Taqueria La Hormiga, approximately a 10 minute walk. I will be coming back for those tacos!
If you continue walking pass the taco place you will find yourself in the Malecon. For a beautiful night walk around the beach. At times we would also take the local bus, where you have to pay 10 pesos, and then it will drop you off to the Malecon and some can take you to Walmart for some other essentials.
Restaurants close to the Airbnb we would recommend is River Cafe for nice live music, delicious food and ambience. And you must try Coco’s Kitchen, where you will find churro pancakes.
After a long day of shopping and walking, the pool was definitely another highlight for our trip.
In general, we’re just very grateful for Dixon and his tips during our stay. This Airbnb was amazing.

This is a great place to stay and a great value. Walking distance to good shopping, fruit market, fresh fish and meats. All the good clubs, restaurants and the beach is within a 5-10 minute walk. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be a repeat customer on my next trip to Puerto Vallarta. Dixon is very prompt to respond with any concerns and communicates well to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Was an awesome vacation.

This place was great! Dixon was a fantastic host, extremely responsive and friendly. He had many recommendations and made us feel super comfortable. Loved the rooftop pool especially at sunset. Walking distance to everything but tucked far enough away that you’re not surrounded by tourists. Love love love! Will absolutely stay again and highly recommend.

una estancia muy cómoda. Lo recomiendo

Dixon was a great host. impeccable communication, perfect space two people and a beautiful rooftop. well equipped kitchen and working laundry.

Todo muy lindo
