The Mazatlan Ocean Front Inn is a very nice place to stay. I did not wanted to stay in a big resort in the Zona Dorada, so this was great. The owners are very helpfull and relaxed. I had a very nice room with a great ocean view. I loved it. When I go back to Mazatlan, I think I'd like to stay there again.

Candace and Jim Penn really have something here! This brand new (2008) house, cliffside in the old town section of Mazatlan, had ALL of the amenities one could look for in a vacation rental. Everything from comfortable, spacious bedrooms, a HUGE, well equipped kitchen, and living room/dining space for many more than ten people. Outstanding connectivity with satalite tv (all US channels), vonage phone service with free calling to US and Canada. Candace and Jim are lovely people, very helpful and knowledgeable. The neighhborhood CAN'T BE BEAT! Close to everything, but away from the cruise ship crowds and tourist traps. I know for a fact that it is one of the best deals in Mazatlan because I live two hours north of here and come here for work about once a month. I have stayed in over twenty of the most popular hotels here, including El Cid, Hotel Playa Mazatlan, Hotel D'Gala, and Best Western Posada Freeman. None have come close to the experience I had when my brothers and sisters visited and we rented this casa. Highly recommended with the utmost confidence.

My husband and I had a wonderful, restful stay at the Mazatlan Ocean Front Inn. The house is exotic and beautiful - with unbelievable views of the ocean. The owners, Jim and Candace, were such great hosts. They knew all about Mazatlan and helped us plan our time while we were there. Jim took my husband fishing and then allowed us to use their BBQ to cook the fish he caught. Candace told us about many exciting things to do- even karoke in the old town. Did I mention the sunsets- we saw one every night we were there. We will surely return.

This was probably the best experience I've ever had in Mexico! The owners, Jim and Candace, were extremely helpful and are great overall. I felt like I was visiting old friends. The inn is beautifully done and the view is spectacular. If you are looking for a resort place with a big party nightlife, go elsewhere. However, if you are interested in Mazatlan, the ocean, the Machado, or the other parts of the real Mazatlan, I highly recommend this place. It truly is a treasure!
