Admire the majestic blue-tiled cupola, casting soft hues onto honed Mexican marble floors, as you enter this oceanfront villa through wrought iron and brass doors. The half-moon balcony inside the foyer invites you to step ahead and catch a first glimpse of the shimmering ocean. One of four master bedroom suites is on this level, complete with en suite bath, double sink, Jacuzzi and private balcony. Off the foyer, a doorway leads up to the large rooftop terrace, complete with wet bar and barbecue. This feature makes the villa ideal to hold a wedding celebration or entertain friends or business associates in grand style. Descend to the expansive living room, with adjacent intimate seating area housing the villa's entertainment center in a large antique armoire. There is a horseshoe wet bar with granite countertop, and French doors lead to an outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean. Continue down the sweeping staircase to find two additional master suites, complete with en suite baths, graced by wraparound terraces with private seating. The fourth master suite is on the pool level below and reached via an exterior staircase. Complete with stereo system and a large sitting area, it also can serve as an area to escape from the sun. The mosaic-tiled, kidney-shaped swimming pool is ocean-front, accompanied by a wet bar and an infinity jacuzzi which can seat up to twelve. A built-in sofa under eaves offers a shady place for reading or taking a siesta by the rhythm of the sea.

• "We had such a wonderful time at Buena Vida. The house is breathtaking. Each day brought new discoveries in terms of stunning sunsets, decks and terraces to read and relax, cozy spaces to retreat to and grand gathering spaces for us as a group. The artwork and decorating are just beautiful. The lighted niches and museum-like pieces are so beautifully done. Manuel and Bertha were wonderful. I had a chance to meet their children as well and it was a pleasure to get to know the family a little. I wish I spoke Spanish, but we managed. The service they provided was excellent. The week went way too fast! I do want to thank you for your great service. We appreciated your prompt and efficient responses to our questions during the entire process. Many thanks.....Hopefully we can work with you again to arrange another amazing vacation! " by Kathy & Tom, TX
