    Great to have a personal view from this couple. I have stayed in Punta de Mita for a mth at a time. It's my favourite beach. PV is too busy for me. The only thing is the prices have gone up so much just for renting for the winter mths especially for a solo retired person.

    I love this video! Looking forward to more like it. I can relate a lot to this couple’s experience. We’ve been building our home in central Mexico for 10 years, also “Mexican style” (my husband is Mexican). When we bought the property, it had a large one room casita made of adobe + concrete blocks, a precarious loft, and a dirt floor. It also had a bathroom with a beautiful, deep, hand-made stone tub, which I love. We started by strengthening the walls and adding more windows, building a solid loft, and pouring a concrete floor. Over the years we’ve added on, and we now have a total of 4 BR, 5 washrooms finished, with another bedroom/washroom in the “obra negra/gris” stage. We have beautiful 2nd and 3rd floor terraces, which I use every day when I’m there. I still call it our “casita” even though it’s become more of a “casona”! We have had some of the work done while we are in Canada (or while my husband’s in Mexico and I’m in Canada), and yes, sometimes things don’t turn out quite as envisioned. But overall, we love our Mexican home. My husband’s already retired, I have just 23 months to go, and yes, I’m counting.

    • @MovingToMexiCo
