Costa Bonita is a beautiful condominium complex on Mazatlan's best beach, just north of the Golden 
Zone. Close to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, yet costing a fraction of the price.

The complex offers big resort amenities in a small and intimate environment. On-site lobby concierge 
service, gift shop, minimarket, internet access, restaurant, bar, beach snack bar, pool, jacuzzi, 
tennis, gym and sauna (for a small fee), volleyball, beach palapas, children's playground, fish 
cleaning facilities, gas BBQ, massage therapy center, etc.

Our place is peaceful and quiet, yet only 10 minutes into the Golden Zone, with its hundreds of 
restaurants, bars, and shops, via frequent bus and inexpensive taxi transportation. Historic old 
town Mazatlan, with it's beautiful museums, majestic cathedral, colorful market place, and daring 
cliff divers, is an easy 20 minute cab trip away. You'll never have to rent a car when staying at 
Costa Bonita!

This freshly painted, recently remodeled, ground floor unit comes fully furnished. Queen beds in 
each bedroom, huge walk-in closet(specially installed for our long-term renters),sofa bed in living 
room, full bathrooms, kitchen with full-size fridge, oven, stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, 
toaster, microwave, etc. Utensils and place settings for 6. Our garden patio overlooks the pool, and 
is directly adjacent to the nearby outdoors hot tub.

Stay in touch with friends and family via our apartment's cellular phone. Bring your laptop to take 
advantage of our hard-wired apartment (specially installed for our business guests) and on-site 
WiFi capabilities. Equipped with cable TV and 5.1 surround-sound stereo, our condo offers a video 
library with hundreds of movie titles available on DVD, so you won't have to go out and rent your 
own. Don't forget to check out our wide variety of music CD's for your musical enjoyment. We also 
have a stack of board games and jigsaw puzzles for your indoor entertainment, a large collection of 
paperback books for your intellectual stimulation, tennis racquets and lots of pool and beach toys 
for your fun in the sun.

Walk out onto 3.5 miles of Mazatlan's most sought-after deserted beachfront, virtually at your 
doorstep. Sunbathe on the soft sand, or take a nap on a lounger under the shade of a palapa, 
specially reserved for guests at Costa Bonita. Swim and play in gentle waves on the soft sandy 
bottom of our beach. For a change of pace, Playa Bruja is a casual fifteen minute walk away, with 
its awesome surfing beach, and rocky point, great for cast fishing.

When you go to Playa Bruja, make sure to visit our favorite casual dining spot, Mr. Lionso's 
Restaurant, which features lobster tails and giant prawns for 130 pesos (about 13 bucks), ice cold 
Corona and Pacifico beers, 2 for 1, cost a couple of bucks, and huge margaritas, 2 for 1, cost 50 
pesos (less than 5 bucks). Also check out Ginger's Bilingual Horses right next door (yes, they 
understand commands in both English and Spanish) for rides on the beach at about $25 an hour.

Enjoy a cool drink on our patio or by the pool after a long day of sightseeing or frolicking in the 
water, and witness some of the world's most beautiful sunsets over the calm Pacific Ocean. Take a 
moonlight stroll on the beach, and let the soothing sound of gentle waves put you into that very 
special relaxed mood. Return to your unit, slip into "his and hers" terry cloth robes (provided 
specially for our romantic renters ;-), and dip into the hot tub, directly adjacent to the patio of 
our apartment ... how seducingly convenient!

The only part of renting from us that we can't truly describe is the intangible feeling of being "at 
home" while on vacation. Most other condos are sterile, cookie cutter units, painted in hotel white, 
with exactly four identical hotel towels, exactly six matching dinner plates, etc. When you walk 
into our place, you'll immediately notice the personality of the apartment. Amy has decorated the 
unit in bright pastel colors and traditional Mexican motifs. Al's personal touches are musical, 
including a hand-made Mexican guitar made from world-famous Paracho, Michoacan, as well as the 
antique cornet sitting on the livingroom cabinet. The kids have their favorite seashell collections 
for all to admire, and we've left a few photos of our family for guests to see with whom they are 
sharing their very unique Mexican experience.

Are we exaggerating? This all may sound too good to be true, but seeing is beleiving! Email us, and 
we'll send you a big batch of pictures of us, our kids and family, and our apartment, as well as 
the great town and resort complex we've chosen as our very special home-away-from-home.

"Al and Amy's Oceanfront Getaway" is available for long weekends, weekly, monthly, or long-term 
rentals. Utilities and taxes (17% extra at hotels and resorts) are always included. Our local rental 
manager is available 24 hours a day, as is the friendly staff at Costa Bonita.

Before you arrive, we'll send you a list of vacation recommendations, a list of "what there is to 
see and do" in and around town, and a bunch of money saving tips, only known by the locals ... and 
some special secret ones not even known by them. Past renters report having saved hundreds of dollars 
on our specific referrals to local doctors and dentists, pharmacies, artisans, sailing cruises, 
fishing expeditions, sightseeing excursions, etc. Al (a working professional jazz musician with many 
entertainment industry contacts in town) has even arranged a special discount, exclusively reserved 
for his Costa Bonita guests, at Mazatlan's newest luxury waterfront restaurant, the nearby Marina 
Seafarer. Say the "secret password" to the manager, Alfonso, and receive a courtesy discount of 
20% ... that's more than virtually anywhere else in the city ... guaranteed!

Even if our unit is not available, we have several friends at Costa Bonita with rental units. We'll 
gladly refer you to someone who may have a vacancy. You can't go wrong by contacting us ... we can 
offer you that perfect luxury vacation at a very affordable price!
