My husband and I and a friend recently spent six wonderful days and nights at the Mazatlan Ocean Front Inn. There can be no more helpful or kind inn owners than Jim and Candace, who have not only created spacious, lovely guest facilities but have embued the whole atmosphere with their enthusiasm and warmth. It was wonderful staying in a location so central to all that is unique and vibrant in Mazatlan while yet enjoying the sights and smells of the ocean just feet away. There is a grand kitchen, where fresh and healthy breakfasts are served and roomy and comfortable living and dining areas. There is a charming inner courtyard and a large outer terrace fronting the ocean. The bedrooms and baths are all delightful and everything is clean. Candace and JIm are a font of information on where to eat in Mazatlan and have for your perusal menus from their favorite restaurants, including those that deliver. Candace has also put together a huge binder with every little bit of info you'd want or need to make your stay enjoyable. We couldn't recommend this place more highly.

We had a week at the Mazatlan Ocean Front Inn and it was great. We loved everything about the house, it was beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. The location was exactly as described and the views were incredible.

We had a great time in Mazatlan taking advantage of the local sites and entertainment. At the owners recommendation we tried the Deep Sea fishing, which was a real experience. I would recommend going to the "New Marina" its slightly more for the tour but from what I hear fully worth it.

The whole family had a great time and Jim and Candace were helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

From all of our research we found their price to be excellent.

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.
