Daniela, AMPI & the Story Behind a Turnkey Home in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle
We’re excited to share an important milestone for our growing real estate journey here in Bahía de Banderas: Daniela is now an AMPI associate. This means she’s officially part of the region’s professional real estate network, opening the door to broader collaboration, stronger representation, and a higher standard of service for buyers and sellers alike.
Daniela works locally in Bahía de Banderas, offering bilingual guidance and on-the-ground insight throughout the buying and selling process—something we know is especially valuable when navigating real estate in Mexico.
Daniela’s real estate expertise is complemented by Paul’s background in professional video production and photography. As a husband-and-wife duo, we work together to present homes in a clear, honest, and engaging way through high-quality walkthrough-style videos, photography, and thoughtful storytelling—helping listings reach a wider audience well beyond traditional platforms.
Right around the same time Daniela was finishing this process, we received an email from a homeowner in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a laid-back seaside community just a short drive from Bucerías. The timing couldn’t have been better.
With years of experience working in and around the real estate industry, deep local knowledge, and an engaged YouTube audience, we felt ready—and genuinely excited—to take on this new chapter.
And then we saw the home.
Introducing Casa Pulpo
Casa Pulpo is a stunning, thoughtfully designed residence located about a 12-minute walk from the beach in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. This furnished, 4-bedroom, 4 full-bath, 2 half-bath home is completely turnkey and move-in ready, making it ideal for full-time living, part-time stays, or a high-quality rental property in a growing coastal town.
Some of the standout features include a private pool and a beautiful rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the mountains, the bay, and even glimpses of the ocean. It’s easy to imagine slow mornings on the rooftop, afternoons by the pool, and evenings walking into town for tacos and sunsets.
What immediately caught our attention is how spacious and intentional the home feels. Built by the current owners in 2019, every area reflects careful planning and quality craftsmanship. There’s abundant storage throughout the house, a patio deck perfectly suited for outdoor dining overlooking the pool, and exterior details—like the brick façade and handcrafted balcony railings—that blend seamlessly with the neighborhood while adding a warm, tropical-oasis charm.
Homes of this size, quality, and walkable location in La Cruz are becoming increasingly hard to find, which is one of the reasons Casa Pulpo stands out so clearly.
Flexible Layout with Income Potential
One of the most interesting aspects of Casa Pulpo is the flexibility of its layout. Thanks to the generous room sizes and thoughtful design, the home could lend itself well to a communal-style living setup for an owner looking to offset costs with rental income.
A future owner could choose to live on the main level while renting out the upper rooms individually, creating a shared-living environment. With the addition of small kitchenettes in select rooms and subject to local regulations, the property could be adapted to generate passive rental income while still functioning as a comfortable primary residence.
Of course, this is just one possible idea. The size, layout, and design of Casa Pulpo allow for many different ownership styles, giving future owners the flexibility to adapt the home to their needs, lifestyle, or long-term goals.
Location That Truly Delivers
Casa Pulpo’s location is just as compelling as the home itself. Situated just on the inland side of the main road, it’s walkable to everything La Cruz has to offer—swimmable beaches, the well-known marina, the town center, local restaurants and bars, and some of the best tacos in the bay. One of our personal favorites is Taco On The Street.
If you’ve never visited La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, we highly recommend adding it to your list. The town has a relaxed, authentic feel while still being incredibly well connected. You’re approximately 35 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, 10 minutes from Bucerías, 20 minutes from Punta Mita, and 30 minutes from Sayulita.
A Home That Supports an Active Lifestyle
Because of its central location, Casa Pulpo also makes an excellent surfing hub for anyone looking to explore the many surf breaks throughout the region. The generous carport space allows room for two vehicles—or a combination of cars and off-road toys—making it easy to get around and take advantage of everything the coast has to offer.
We truly feel that whoever owns this home is going to love it—not just for the beauty of the property itself, but for the lifestyle and location that come with it.
