About Dianne and John

We are John and Dianne Arguelles, who used to live in Santa Barbara, CA where John was born and raised. Dianne is from Orinda, CA and Honolulu. John is a retired dentist and Dianne a retired dental hygienist and personal life coach. We have five grown children (who are spread out across the U.S.) and eleven grandchildren. We love to spend our days in the sun, boating, snorkeling, beaching, exploring, golfing, reading and relaxing. We see ourselves as adventurous and willing to stretch beyond our comfort zones, thus buying a house in a foreign country! We are happiest when we are at Casa Contenta watching the famous glorious sunsets from our infinity pool. When you stay at Contenta you get personalized service from beginning to end. Dianne is always available via phone to answer any questions whether it be about the house or where to eat. Mercedes is our administrator who you call for anything and Maury is there daily (except Sundays) to clean, maybe make some breakfasts and help in any way. She is a gem. Dianne prepares a Renters' Information Packet for you to read before arrival, which is chock full of good stuff about the house and what to do while there. If you don't have something we will do all we can to get it for you. Our goal is for you to have the time of your life!

Dianne and John purchased this villa in 2005
Why Dianne and John chose Puerto Vallarta

While visiting P.V. seven years ago, we decided to look at properties all around Bandaras Bay because John felt Puerto Vallarta had 'good bones'! plus a lot of charm. We chose the quiet Conchas Chinas area, just a bit south of the Romantic Zone, because of the proximity to beaches, restaurants, boutiques and the pulse of the town. It doesn't hurt that they call the area 'the Beverly Hills' of Puerto Vallarta also! The first response we had when we stepped onto the terrace for the first time was a gasp as the view took our breaths away. We had to have it! For the last seven years that we have owned it, yearly we have done a large renovation project to make it 'ours'! We named it Casa Contenta because we wanted it to represent exactly that~CONTENTMENT.

What makes this villa unique

Casa Contenta sits high on a hillside which looks down and out onto an expansive view of Bandaras Bay. You feel as if you are at one with the ocean.The house is at the apex of the bay so the famous Vallarta sunsets, a different color every night, are right n front of your eyes. The terrace boasts one of the largest in the area which in itself is a real bonus for entertaining, sitting at the bar, lounging by the pool or dining al fresco. Unlike most Mexican homes with many different levels and stairs, Contenta has just two levels. Location is everything. El Set and Lindo Mar restaurants are less than a 15 minute walk down the hill and a little more than a 20 minute walk to the Romantic Zone and Los Muertos Beach. We enjoy giving our guests a 'margarita welcome' with homemade salsa, guacamole and chips made especially by our maid, Mauri. YUM! Because it is on a hillside, hiking the area is great exercise in the morning. Then you savor the wonderful Mexican coffee sitting on the terrace while the city wakes up. In the late afternoon floating in the infinity pool with your favorite drink, waiting for the whales to appear right in front of the house. Then the last treat is watching the 'green flash' at sunset. Many nights we are given the gift of fireworks over the bay in front of the house. Nothing like it here at Casa Contenta. Many guests say it has a definite 'wow factor' and the pictures don't do it justice. You just have to experience it for yourself!

Most Luxurious Vacation Ever!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 10, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My 5 friends and family just had the most remarkable vacation ever! 3 of us were turning 50 and three were turning 60. So we really knew that we wanted a place to celebrate together yet have space of our own. Casa Contenta was the ticket for one of the most enjoyable, luxurious and most reasonably price vacation ever. The pictures that are posted do not do the property justice. It's like trying to see The Grand Canyon via postcards. The property, views atmosphere and service are simply phenomenal. Mercedes oversees the property remotely while the owners, John and Dianne, are away. She will do all of the shopping for everything you'd like present upon arrival and have it all waiting along with fresh chips, salsa and guacamole along with a Margarita welcome as you watch your first of many memorable sunsets. She checks in regularly to make sure that all is going well or to book activities yet doesn't interfere. Only a few minutes are spent showing the property and owners John and Dianne do a couple of initial check in calls to make sure that all expectations are met. Mauri cares for the house on a daily basis. She will cook everyone a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner or (as we did) a private chef can be coordinated to arrive and cook 4-5 star restaurant quality food. This was truly a luxury vacation where we spent quality, relaxing time with dear friends and paid less that we would have staying in any of the "strip" hotels. For anyone traveling to Mexico for the first time, Puerto Vallarta is completely safe and so is the entire building in which Casa Contenta is located. An elevator takes you down 3 levels to the villa and for anyone traveling with and handicapped or elderly family member there is a full king size master suite on the first floor with it's own mini-living room and large screen television. No stairs involved. Our 82 year mom was felt completely safe and protected and we felt very much at ease to leave her on her own while we walked down to the beach. Conchas Chinas beach is a nice 15 minute walk down cobble stone streets and is one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in PV. 5 minute cab rides into town are $4 which is nice. Once there we couldn't wait to get back "home" to the luxury of Casa Contenta to float in the negative edge pool and gaze at the ocean. Thanks again John and Dianne for offering such a delightful experience. We look forward to our next stay with much anticipation.

Paradise in Vallarta at half the price of a hotel!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 8, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Why would you stay at a hotel packed with tourists and screaming kids when you can have your own private villa high on the hillside overlooking all of Puerto Vallarta? And at half the price including your own infinity edged pool and chef and maid staff! This is Puerto Vallarta's best kept secret, Las Terrazas villas in the renowned Conchas Chinas neighborhood (the Beverly Hills of PV, MEX) is truly spectacular. We have now stayed in three of these villas, each with their own character and attention to detail. Casa Contenta is probably the most modern and newly renovated. Full size gourmet kitchen, four bedrooms, four baths, private infinity edge pool, and a sun deck that's massive in size with a built in wet bar. The villa has wifi Internet, Vonage phone service so you can phone home to the US for free and even a great sound system to plug in your iPad, iPod, iPhone, etc. you can walk down the hill in 10 minutes to Conchas Chinas Beach, probably the most spectacular in all of Puerto Vallarta, and downtown PV is a quick 4 minute taxi ride away. This place is true heaven!

Casa Contenta

Many thanks for a wonderful New Years haven for 2 families- an amazing view, spacious and beautiful home not to mention the care that was taken of us during our stay.
The walk down to the beach and town is just perfect and we were always moments away if we just wanted to go out downtown in a taxi.

We all loved our 2012/13 vacation and certainly recommend Casa Contenta to anyone looking for spectacular views, roomy and graceful accomodations and wondeful staff - the infinity pool and cliff side 8 seater bar topped this one for me!
Owner's Response: Thank you for all your wonderful comments about your stay at Casa Contenta~so glad you could ring in the New Year experiencing all it has to offer! The staff enjoyed having you and we hope you had an unforgettable experience as that is always our goal!
Best to you,
Dianne

As first time visitors to Puerto Vallarta, Casa Contenta definitely helped make this one trip to remember! Situated in the renowned Conchas Chinas neighborhood (just minutes away from the heart of town), this beautiful 4 bedroom villa with breathtaking ocean views is perfect for any family looking for a home away from home. From relaxing in the infinity pool to watching the sunset from the upstairs library, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Highly recommended!
Owner's Response: We are very happy that you found Casa Contenta a memorable place to stay and we invite you to return soon. Thank you for the many nice compliments.
Dianne
