| We just returned from a relaxing week stay at Casa Fuerte. We especially liked the pool area and the palapas. The beach was great! The surf was up and the water was an amazing 84 degrees. The location is perfect for a close walk down the beach to the center of town. |

| We enjoyed our stay in Bucerias. The caretakers - Antonio, Martha and their family - were very nice and helpful to keep things going at the condo. This July in Bucerias was very hot. The air conditioner was only in the living/dining room. It had trouble keeping that area cool and had no effect in any of the other rooms including the bedrooms. It was great to have the ocean and pool to cool down a little. The location of the condo was great. It was nice to be able to walk to town on the beach or down a quiet road. It was also very close to the main road which was handy to catch a bus. It was also great to sit out under the palapa and watch the activity on the beach/ocean. It was really neat in the evenings to see the bats fly from their home under the condo’s roof shingles. The condo was well equipped and any other supplies were easy to get in and around town. It was nice that there were only 4 condos in the complex but the common pool area got crowded quite quickly, even when only one other condo was occupied. Our favorite restaurants were El Brujo and Mar Y Sol on the beach, and TUC Mexican Cuisine on the main road by the OXXO store. |

One morning we saw whole schools of fish jumping out of the water.Local transportation was easy to use. Day trips encluded Pita de Mita,Destilliars beach and Sayulita.The kids enjoyed taking surfing lessons at Sayulita.

| We stayed at Casa Fuertein early May of 2009 and were extremely impressed. The place is very well situated and appointed. I believe most all of anyone's comforts would be addressed. The Strongs keep it well supplied and are eager to address any problems. The location could hardly be better--a beautiful beach at our doorstep and only a short walk on that beach to town. The pool is in great condition and is a very desirable amenity. I would recommend it very "strongly". |

| We had a wonderful stay at Case Fuerte, and echo the positive comments by others. We loved the ease of bus transportation - easy, cheap and entertaining! The town square was a highlight, and we especially enjoyed Super Burrito, and the churro stand. Pat was wonderful to work with - my many questions answered with grace and detail. We would highly recommend this lovely spot. |

We stayed at Casa Fuerte in mid February and had a
wonderful time. Bucerias is a fantastic location and
is perfect for a very relaxing vacation. We enjoyed
daily walks on the beach and swimming in the bay.
I love having a private pool pretty much to yourself.
This vacation was wonderful! Thank you Pat &
Dusty for sharing Casa Fuerte with us. |

| We just returned from paradise (in other words, Casa Fuerte) and we are relaxed and glowing with warm wonderful memories. The setting and the condo were beautiful, the town and the people friendly, making the vacation perfect. We were active (snorkeling, swimming and boogie boarding) yet spent enough time relaxing by the beautiful pool to come back home re-energized. We can't wait to return (maybe next time with the kids)since it would also be a perfect family vacation...something for everyone! I can't say enough about the accommodations as well as the location. I wish I was holding a margarita right now... |

| The new pool is perfect for floating in and cooling off after frisbee on the beach in front of Casa Fuerte. We enjoy sitting on the pool terrace while having a cold cerveza and watching the surf, reading and watching the local fishermen. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the fun of the pool, the ocean and the beach scene. We walk into town regularly for fresh fruits, the local taco stands and groceries at the corner stores. |

Our stay at Casa Fuerte exceeded our expectations in every way. Christmas in Bucerias was a wonderful change of pace from our more customary pursuit of a White Christmas. The miles of beaches have plenty for type A’s like beach jogging and boogie boarding. Relaxation is easy to find on the beach or by the pool. Evenings are truly enchanted. Sunsets over the bay are breathtaking theater from the terrace.
The village has plenty of color from local markets, artisans, restaurants and street food vendors. All with a welcoming small town feel that is only a short walk from Casa Fuerte. You can go upscale or down, the choice is yours. Likewise you can retire early or stay out late listening to some local music in the local hot spots.
All of the tropical ambiance, geographic beauty, and culture were more than we could have asked for. The home was fully equipped, spacious, clean, & comfortable. Casa Fuerte is a perfect getaway for couples or a family. Bus transportation is easy if you want to venture further from home. I am sure we will be back.

| One pleasant surprise when we arrived at Casa Fuerte is that it actually looks like it does in the ad pictures! Perfectly located for pleasure and sightseeing. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the pool and ocean, lunch walking distance to good restaurants, one dinner cooked by Marta (she and Antonio live in apt. below - they keep the grounds groomed and were always willing to help if needed. We traveled to Playa Disterrerias to hunt rocks, Punta Mita for good food, Sayulita for art (Evelyne Boren) & to watch surf boarding & San Pancho for shopping (Tres Maria's, Huicholes Indians' bead work). Puerto Vallarta was great. El Tigre was the place for tennis & Sunday brunch. Boogie boarding right out our front door. What's not to love about Casa Fuerte? |

| My 20 year old daughter and I have taken yearly trips for 10 years now, and this was the best best 'adventure' yet! The condo was very large and had everything! The kitchen was perfect, but we went down wanting to fully experience "real" Mexican food, so we did not cook. We enjoyed the pool right outside the door, and the beach a few more steps away. We appreciated the internet access to communicate with Dad, and I'm sure many of my daughter's friends. It was also fun to look at our pictures each night. We went to Puerto Vallarta several times by bus. It was our first vacation without a car, due to the ease of the bus system. The Strongs have a feel at home place in Bucerias, and we are already talking about next summer! Thank you! Caroline and Lindsey |

| This house was perfect for us. Antonio and Marta, the caretakers were very helpful. The locations was perfect, RIGHT on the beach, with a pool. Its a well taken care of unit, and everything we needed or wanted was right there. The beach was beautiful, the pool was a perfect temperature, the breeze flowed through the house so it was very comfortable. It's nice having a washer/dryer right there. I've already recommended this place to a whole kit and caboodle of friends and relatives! |

May 17, 2008 Spent a week swimming in the ocean and pool. We fished the surf in front of Casa Fuerte, snorkeled in Sayulita,and swam with the dolphins in P.V. Our whole family enjoyed the stay ages 60, 52, 40, 36, 10, and 8mos. Truly a fun adventure.
And if you need any dental work done Dentista Adrian is just a couple blocks away. He speaks english, is gentle on the mouth, and does fine work. I had a couple of crowns put on and they look great, about half the cost as in the states. |

| I recently stayed at Casa Fuerte for a week with my college friends and had the time of my life. Casa Fuerte is beautiful with the beach right out the door and the town just a walk away. There is so much to do like boogie boarding and just laying out by either the pool or the ocean. This was one of the best experiences in my life! |

| My roommates, college friends, and I recently stayed at Casa Fuerte for our spring break from college. We all had an amazing week. The location of Casa Fuerte was perfect, just a few steps from our favorite restaurant and the town square where we ate churro's every night! Catching the bus from the airport was a breeze and getting around Mexico proved to not be a problem. I look forward to visiting Bucerias and Casa Fuerta again in the future!!! |

| After a week back in the real world, I can truly appreciate the blissfulness of our time in Bucerias. With 5 of my friends, we thoroughly enjoyed the beach, the town, and all the wonderful people there. The condo is great, and was very comfortable for even 6 of us at once. It was a fantastic week, and Casa Fuerte is a highly recommendable vacation spot! Thanks! |

In a word "paradise". Our family had such a wonderful time in Casa Fuerte.
It was very homey and relaxing, we went from our pjs, to our swim suits, and then back to our lounging pjs again for 4 blissful days!!
Our children, ages 9, 7, and 2, had a great time playing in the sun, in the pool, and in the beach; the body boogie boarding was a blast!
The two things I will remember the most is the afternoon sun glistening on the water and the ever present soothing sound of the waves.
Martha and Antonio were very sweet and accommodating. Thanks Pat and Dusty for opening up your beautiful home for us.

| What a great place, it's very comfortable and homey, and you can't beat the location. We did a few excursions, including a whale watching trip and spending a day in Puerto Vallarta. The best part though was relaxing on the deck, walking along the beach, and exploring Bucerias. We'd definitely return and stay at Casa Fuerte. |

What a lovely week we spent with our familiy! We could cook a meal when we wanted to. Have a muffin for breakfast home made by the most friendly "Muffin Man," who would come to the door with a basket of home made muffins balanced on his head! It was also easy to eat out at great dining spots right on the beach. The best part was just hanging out around the condo or doing sight seeing at other artful towns.
Dusty and Pat have done a great job in making the condo comfortable, aesthtic, and a fun place to stay.

Very cool area and great accommodations. Terrace was private and immaculate. Zip lining and Surfing in Sayulita just 20 minutes away and gorgeous spot to watch the sunset. Wonderful food in Bucerias - places to take private cooking lessons. Caretakers cooked for us and cleaned and didn't charge nearly enough! Would love to come back!

It has been a superb week! The great weather, the soothing sound of the waves, the endless breeze, anticipating the visit of the muffin man, Fernando, watching the kids on the boogie boards, eating out, seeing newly hatched sea turtles, playing "Catchphrase", reading, doing a jigsaw puzzle and best of all just being together as a family.

We, the owners, just returned from Casa Fuerte which we closed on just recently. The property and location are a dream come true. Every day we enjoyed meals and drinks on our private terrace overlooking the pool, the ocean and the beach. We went for runs along the beach, boogie boarding in the ocean and long strolls right on the ocean with white sand beaches for 7 miles. It is one of very few condos directly on the beach and only 1 of 4 total condos in the complex. This is very private. As this is not part of a large complex you really feel at home. From this 1st floor condo, you walk directly out to your terrace and then just steps to the pool and ocean with direct access. The setting is perfect and peaceful. We hope you, too, will enjoy Casa Fuerte and return many times in the future.
BIENVENIDOS! The Strong Family
