We have lived in Puerto Vallarta our whole lives. We were born and raised right here in this beautiful city!
Because we grew up here, we know every corner, every taco stand, and every hidden trail.
One question we get all the time from couples and digital nomads is: "Where should we stay to feel like a local but still be close to everything?"
The answer is always Amapas.
Amapas is basically the sweet spot of Puerto Vallarta.
It is tucked just above the hustle and bustle of Zona Romántica.
In fact, we call it the "Heart of Old Town" because you are only a few blocks away from the action, but it feels like a whole different world.
It is quiet. It is green. It is BEAUTIFUL!
If you are looking for an authentic local experience, Amapas is where you want to be.
The Best of Both Worlds
We LOVE Amapas because it gives you the best of both worlds.
You can walk down the hill and be at the beach in five minutes.
You can grab a margarita, listen to live music, and enjoy the crazy energy of Old Town.
But when you are ready to relax, you just walk back up.
Suddenly, the noise fades away.
The birds start singing.
The air feels fresher because you are surrounded by the lush jungle of the Sierra Madre mountains.
It is so peaceful!
This is why we chose to have our family-owned condos here.
We wanted a place where our guests could truly unwind.
If you are a solo traveller or a couple looking for a retreat, this neighborhood is AMAZING.
A Digital Nomad’s Paradise
Are you working remotely?
Because if you are a puerto vallarta digital nomad, you need more than just a bed.
You need high-speed WiFi.
You need a space that feels like a home, not a tiny hotel room.
Our condos for rent in puerto vallarta at Casa Hummingbird were designed with you in mind.
We made sure the internet is lightning fast!
We know how important it is to stay connected for those Zoom calls.
But best of all, you get to work with a view.
Imagine sitting at your desk and looking out at the green mountains.
It is SO much better than an office cubicle!
When you need a break, you can wander down to a local café in Old Town.
There are so many great spots to grab a coffee and meet other people working on their laptops.
It is a great way to start Finding Your Community while you are here.
Living Like a Local
When you stay with us, you aren't just another booking.
You are part of our family!
We greet every guest personally.
We want to make sure you have everything you need.
Want to know where the best tacos are?
Just ask us!
We can point you to the small family-run stands that the tourists usually miss.
Staying in Amapas lets you experience the real rhythm of the city.
You might hear a rooster in the distance or see a fruit vendor pushing their cart.
It is authentic. It is real. It is Mexico!
Our studio, the Nest, is the perfect example of this.
It is one of our most popular puerto vallarta rentals old town because it feels so cozy.
It is spacious, bright, and surrounded by nature.
It is perfect for couples who want a romantic getaway without the noise of the big resorts.
Get Your Steps In!
Let's talk about the hills for a second.
Yes, Amapas is on a hillside!
But honestly? We LOVE the hills.
It is like a free gym session every time you walk home!
The views you get from being a little bit higher up are totally worth the walk.
Plus, it keeps the neighborhood feeling private and secluded.
If you prefer to skip the walk, there are always plenty of quick rides available.
But we recommend walking at least once a day.
The streets are so charming and you get to see all the beautiful architecture.
It is the best way to soak in the Amapas Jungle Bliss that makes this area so special.
Exploring Nature
One of the best things about using Amapas as your home base is how close you are to nature.
You can literally walk from your front door and be on a hiking trail in minutes.
The Sierra Madre mountains are right there!
We love going for walks in the morning when the air is cool.
The jungle is so green and vibrant.
You might even see some local wildlife!
It is a great way to clear your head before starting your work day.
