Villa Venado is named for the enchanting deer that are sometimes seen roaming the area. Situated majestically on the hillside of Garza Blanca, this villa affords maximum privacy with all modern conveniences.
Villa Venado was just completed (2009) and the owners went all out to build a dramatic yet comfortable luxury residence. The architecture is spectacular, focusing on an exterior waterfall that captures your eye as you enter the main level of the house.
The blend of antique artifacts and contemporary finishes represent the aesthetic that is Mexico today. The gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances invites you to try your hand at local delicacies or you can always relax with a private cook to prepare your meals.
This house boasts the best private pool in Puerto Vallarta, taking full advantage of the well known spectacular sunsets on Banderas Bay. With all this villa has to offer you will never want to leave!

Testimonials:
Our family just returned from Puerto Vallarta and spent 20 days in the most fabulous home. While the pictures ahead of time were absolutely beautiful, we were in no way prepared for what we walked into upon arrival. The house was absolutely beautiful! Every room was spacious, the beds were extremely comfortable and we were all able to relax and enjoy the game room, living, kitchen, etc.
We were greeted and picked up by Zavalla at the airport and our vacation was worry free from that moment on. He even went shopping with me the next day to help find things and translate. Xochitl, the live in housekeeper, and her daughter were incredible. They took such great care of us cleaning, making us breakfast, doing our laundry and essentially taking care of our every need that we wanted to bring them home with us when we left. She also went shopping with and for us and escorted our family to a local orphanage so we could interact with the employees and children and bring things they needed. They always went above and beyond! We can't say enough good things about the home and the service.
Every detailed promise was exactly as they had represented it would be. We rented the villa boat, The Office, with Captain Zavala for fishing, whale watching, snorkeling and rides to beaches not accessible on the road system. The boys caught a ton of tuna and we were able to not only enjoy it during our stay but bring home two full coolers. The whales were beautiful and again the service of Zavala and his crew were beyond our expectations.
We were also able to go on the Los Veranos zip line and we all enjoyed it...from our 6-year old daughter to our 62-year old mother. They took such great care of us!
The location of the house was great, in a picturesque setting up on the hill looking over the ocean. Every room in the house takes advantage of this view and therefore we were all able to enjoy it at all hours of the day from working out in the weight room, lying by the pool, enjoying an evening or dining on the deck to going to bed at night. It was a short 10-minute drive to most anything, including old-town, the zoo, great restaurants and shopping. We will for sure look into renting this house again if our travels ever bring us back to Puerto Vallarta.
We cannot thank everyone enough for sharing their piece of heaven with us! Thank you Zavalla and Xochitl for taking such good care of us. We were spoiled in so many ways beyond our imagination that returning home and reality has taken some getting used to. The only problem we foresee in the future is that once people start renting this luxurious house with excellent amenities that it won't be available when were are able to return. Thanks again for making our family holiday vacation one for the record books!
"Wow! What a spectacular home. The attention to detail is just amazing. Believe it or not, it looks even better than in the pictures.
The service was excellent, with the house staff taking care of all of our cooking, cleaning and food/beverage shopping. Thanks Sochi! I felt like I was staying at a five-star hotel.
The house is located in a very private gated development, but is only about a ten minute cab ride from town (cabs are easy to come by). So you get the best of both worlds -- a private villa and easy access to the town.
Lastly, all the logistics (airport transfers/stocking up on food/beverages before arrival, etc.) were arranged before arrival and provided excellent insight on what to do and where to go in PV.
I plan on going back and would highly recommend this villa to anyone else traveling to the area.”
