If you are looking for an authentic Mexican experience, outside the crowded, touristy & partying vibe of Puerto Vallarta or far from the beach vendors of Yelapa, look no further than Casa Gracie. Only steps from the beach, enjoy your own stunning home; perched above the fishing village of Chimo for majestic mountain & Pacific Ocean views. Come marvel at God's handiwork, where you can listen to the sound of the sea, watch humpback whales or take in the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. Casa Gracie is one of two houses on the property called Dos Hermanos. The houses are ideally situated to maximize privacy and are separated by a beautiful, shared garden area for additional privacy. The other house, Casa Bendita, can be rented at an additional cost and has the same floorplan as Casa Gracie. See airbnb.com/h/doshermanos-casabendita for more details and availability. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Sierra Madre mountain range and village of Chimo, Casa Gracie is only separated by 150 steps from a secluded sandy beach. If secluded sandy beaches aren't your thing, you'll be perfectly content at Casa Gracie by simply enjoying the beautiful garden and the house's sweeping views of the ocean and natural landscape. Casa Gracie blends modern amenities (including Elon Musk's high-speed Starlink internet service) with rustic charm. The casa features spacious living space, with stacking glass paneled doors that fill the space with natural light and sound. Enjoy the vistas even while cooking from your own fully equipped kitchen. The views continue to the master bedroom and each bedroom at Casa Gracie is equipped with air conditioning and a king-sized bed. As you fall asleep at night or in the sway of your hammock during a lazy afternoon siesta, you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean. Casa Gracie is situated above Chimo, which is located in the Cabo Corrientes region of Jalisco, Mexico on the Bay of Banderas. The region is serviced via the Puerto Vallarta International Airport. On clear nights, you will see the lights of Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita across the bay from Chimo. Unlike Pizota, Quimixto, Yelapa and the Los Chonchos Eco Preserve, Chimo can be accessed by car, taxi or Uber from Puerto Vallarta via the village of El Tuito. Chimo is also accessible by boat, which we can help arrange. Chimo and the area boasts excellent fishing, hiking, beaches, and waterfalls. The village is small and quiet, so if you're looking for highrise resorts or nightlife, you won't find any in Chimo. Chimo only has a few hundred residents and has minimal services. The village of Chimo (less than a five minute walk from Casa Gracie) offers some dining options; albeit limited. Currently, Chimo has two beach side restaurants that primarily serves mariscos (seafood); although, an occasional hamburger may be had if you ask the waiter. If seafood isn't your craving, a taco stand is usually set up one block off the beach, on a dirt road, in front of Lety's small store. It's a bit of a hit or miss, but tacos are typically available Thursday - Sunday evenings sometime after 6 or 7 o'clock. We recommend tacos al pastor on Saturday nights and carnitas on Sunday mornings. In addition to the taco stand, on most Thursday - Sunday evenings, a local cocinera will set out tables in front of her casa for a pop-up restaurant of sorts. We recommend her shrimp tacos with an iced cold, glass bottle of Coca-Cola. If none of these choices are appealing to you, a local cook can be arranged who will come prepare food for you at Casa Gracie. If you prefer to do your own cooking, use fresh local produce. On Tuesday mornings, watch and listen for the produce truck that arrives each week in Chimo. You will hear the driver announce their arrival via their speaker system. Chimo also has three small 'corner' stores (hours vary) for basic grocery items, frozen meats and snacks. While liquor and wine options are limited, ask anyone locally, and they can direct you to where you can buy Raicilla. Raicilla is a moonshine made locally in the mountains that tastes similar to Mezcal, with its smokey undertones. Chimo has a beer store, selling your typical varieties of Mexican beers. Across from Yolis's beer store is the casa of a local fisherman who will gladly sell you fresh fish, octopus or lobster when available. His wife also sells ice cream. Any local fisherman will sell you their fresh caught fish ... you just need to ask a fisherman on the beach in the morning.

If you are a jet boat "always-on-the-go" type of traveler, you might be disappointed. Dos Hermanos and Chimo have more of a pontoon boat vibe. There are no ziplines, jet skis, para sails, take-a-picture-with-an-iguana vendors, beachchair towel games, or night clubs. Chimo is the place one goes to avoid the hustle and bustle of life and to slow down. Bring a book.
