Vacation Rental Description

Costa Bonita is a beautiful condominium complex on Mazatlan's best beach, just north of the Golden  
Zone. Close to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, yet costing a fraction of the price. 
 
The complex offers big resort amenities in a small and intimate environment. On-site lobby concierge  
service, gift shop, minimarket, internet access, restaurant, bar, beach snack bar, pool, jacuzzi,  
tennis, gym and sauna (for a small fee), volleyball, beach palapas, children's playground, fish  
cleaning facilities, gas BBQ, massage therapy center, etc. 
 
Our place is peaceful and quiet, yet only 10 minutes into the Golden Zone, with its hundreds of  
restaurants, bars, and shops, via frequent bus and inexpensive taxi transportation. Historic old  
town Mazatlan, with it's beautiful museums, majestic cathedral, colorful market place, and daring  
cliff divers, is an easy 20 minute cab trip away. You'll never have to rent a car when staying at  
Costa Bonita! 
 
This freshly painted, recently remodeled, ground floor unit comes fully furnished. Queen beds in  
each bedroom, huge walk-in closet(specially installed for our long-term renters),sofa bed in living  
room, full bathrooms, kitchen with full-size fridge, oven, stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender,  
toaster, microwave, etc. Utensils and place settings for 6. Our garden patio overlooks the pool, and  
is directly adjacent to the nearby outdoors hot tub. 
 
Stay in touch with friends and family via our apartment's cellular phone. Bring your laptop to take  
advantage of our hard-wired apartment (specially installed for our business guests) and on-site  
WiFi capabilities. Equipped with cable TV and 5.1 surround-sound stereo, our condo offers a video  
library with hundreds of movie titles available on DVD, so you won't have to go out and rent your  
own. Don't forget to check out our wide variety of music CD's for your musical enjoyment. We also  
have a stack of board games and jigsaw puzzles for your indoor entertainment, a large collection of  
paperback books for your intellectual stimulation, tennis racquets and lots of pool and beach toys  
for your fun in the sun. 
 
Walk out onto 3.5 miles of Mazatlan's most sought-after deserted beachfront, virtually at your  
doorstep. Sunbathe on the soft sand, or take a nap on a lounger under the shade of a palapa,  
specially reserved for guests at Costa Bonita. Swim and play in gentle waves on the soft sandy  
bottom of our beach. For a change of pace, Playa Bruja is a casual fifteen minute walk away, with  
its awesome surfing beach, and rocky point, great for cast fishing. 
 
When you go to Playa Bruja, make sure to visit our favorite casual dining spot, Mr. Lionso's  
Restaurant, which features lobster tails and giant prawns for 130 pesos (about 13 bucks), ice cold  
Corona and Pacifico beers, 2 for 1, cost a couple of bucks, and huge margaritas, 2 for 1, cost 50  
pesos (less than 5 bucks). Also check out Ginger's Bilingual Horses right next door (yes, they  
understand commands in both English and Spanish) for rides on the beach at about $25 an hour. 
 
Enjoy a cool drink on our patio or by the pool after a long day of sightseeing or frolicking in the  
water, and witness some of the world's most beautiful sunsets over the calm Pacific Ocean. Take a  
moonlight stroll on the beach, and let the soothing sound of gentle waves put you into that very  
special relaxed mood. Return to your unit, slip into "his and hers" terry cloth robes (provided  
specially for our romantic renters ;-), and dip into the hot tub, directly adjacent to the patio of  
our apartment ... how seducingly convenient! 
 
The only part of renting from us that we can't truly describe is the intangible feeling of being "at  
home" while on vacation. Most other condos are sterile, cookie cutter units, painted in hotel white,  
with exactly four identical hotel towels, exactly six matching dinner plates, etc. When you walk  
into our place, you'll immediately notice the personality of the apartment. Amy has decorated the  
unit in bright pastel colors and traditional Mexican motifs. Al's personal touches are musical,  
including a hand-made Mexican guitar made from world-famous Paracho, Michoacan, as well as the  
antique cornet sitting on the livingroom cabinet. The kids have their favorite seashell collections  
for all to admire, and we've left a few photos of our family for guests to see with whom they are  
sharing their very unique Mexican experience. 
 
Are we exaggerating? This all may sound too good to be true, but seeing is beleiving! Email us, and  
we'll send you a big batch of pictures of us, our kids and family, and our apartment, as well as  
the great town and resort complex we've chosen as our very special home-away-from-home. 
 
"Al and Amy's Oceanfront Getaway" is available for long weekends, weekly, monthly, or long-term  
rentals. Utilities and taxes (17% extra at hotels and resorts) are always included. Our local rental  
manager is available 24 hours a day, as is the friendly staff at Costa Bonita. 
 
Before you arrive, we'll send you a list of vacation recommendations, a list of "what there is to  
see and do" in and around town, and a bunch of money saving tips, only known by the locals ... and  
some special secret ones not even known by them. Past renters report having saved hundreds of dollars  
on our specific referrals to local doctors and dentists, pharmacies, artisans, sailing cruises,  
fishing expeditions, sightseeing excursions, etc. Al (a working professional jazz musician with many  
entertainment industry contacts in town) has even arranged a special discount, exclusively reserved  
for his Costa Bonita guests, at Mazatlan's newest luxury waterfront restaurant, the nearby Marina  
Seafarer. Say the "secret password" to the manager, Alfonso, and receive a courtesy discount of  
20% ... that's more than virtually anywhere else in the city ... guaranteed! 
 
Even if our unit is not available, we have several friends at Costa Bonita with rental units. We'll  
gladly refer you to someone who may have a vacancy. You can't go wrong by contacting us ... we can  
offer you that perfect luxury vacation at a very affordable price!
