21 República de Chile | $2,700,000
4 Beds | 5 Baths | 5,950 SF

In the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s romantic historic district, where cobblestone streets meet bougainvillea-draped balconies and the scent of salt lingers in the air, sits Casa Caryn—a luxury villa that whispers old-world charm while delivering modern elegance at every turn.

This is not a typical coastal retreat. Casa Caryn is a soulfully restored and curated residence that feels more like a home with a history than a house for sale. It stands proudly on República de Chile, one of the area’s most charming and sought-after streets, and from the moment you arrive, it’s clear: this property has presence.

A Legacy of Design and Detail

Spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, Casa Caryn is equal parts grand and intimate. The architecture respects its historic surroundings, yet elevates the living experience through a series of design decisions that reflect both craftsmanship and comfort.

Hand-carved doors. Stone columns. Tilework that draws from the deep blues of the bay and the sun-faded reds of Vallarta’s rooftops. Each room is a study in harmony—rich with textures, natural light, and a sense of calm that’s hard to manufacture.

The four-bedroom, five-bathroom layout unfolds gracefully over multiple levels, offering a series of living spaces that adapt to the rhythm of the day. Open-air corridors and shaded terraces create seamless movement between indoors and out, while the elevated position of the home offers dramatic views of the Pacific and the Sierra Madre mountains.

Resort-Style Living with a Residential Soul

At the center of Casa Caryn’s outdoor experience is a resort-style pool, perfectly positioned for privacy and ambiance. Imagine lounging here in the afternoon, the city’s gentle bustle below, a soft breeze moving through the palms. With multiple dining areas and secluded nooks for reading, sunbathing, or sipping mezcal at dusk, this is a home that rewards those who value both retreat and revelry.

The kitchen—often overlooked in heritage homes—has been fully reimagined for the modern host. High-end appliances, stone counters, and artisan tile merge function with beauty, allowing for casual breakfasts or full-scale entertaining with equal ease. From morning coffee to candlelit dinners, Casa Caryn was made to be lived in.

The Location: Historic. Cultural. Elevated.

El Centro, where Casa Caryn is located, is Puerto Vallarta’s original heartbeat. It’s a place where history and hospitality collide—art galleries, boutique cafes, lively plazas, and local markets are all within walking distance. A few blocks away, the Malecón boardwalk unfurls along the ocean, lined with sculptures, street performers, and sunset watchers.

Yet despite this proximity, Casa Caryn feels worlds away—elevated both in literal altitude and in lifestyle. The hillside setting ensures stunning vistas and peaceful seclusion while keeping you deeply connected to the energy of the city.

A Home for Those Who Know

This is not just a property. It’s a lifestyle offering for those who seek more than square footage—they want story, style, and soul. Casa Caryn speaks to the discerning buyer who appreciates architectural authenticity, location relevance, and a true sense of place.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a second home, or a legacy property to share with family and friends, Casa Caryn is positioned to deliver all three. It's the kind of home you remember—and the kind of life you’ve imagined.
