Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – A Texas family recently completed a stunning 90-day renovation of a luxury penthouse in Marina Vallarta – all while managing the entire project remotely. Guided by the expert team at CRATE Interiors, this full-scale transformation turned a dated residence into a stylish family retreat overlooking the waterway.
After touring properties with realtor Alecia Masters of Hogar Realty, the couple from Austin selected a spacious legacy listing in need of a complete refresh. With the help of CRATE’s proprietary budget tools and detailed planning systems, they launched into a comprehensive remodel, including a full kitchen and bathroom overhaul, along with custom furnishings for nearly 7,000 square feet of living space.
The result is a modern coastal escape featuring four renovated en suites, a palapa-shaded pool deck, and panoramic views – perfect for family gatherings and future getaways. CRATE’s “Renovation at a Distance” approach made the process seamless, thanks to a single point of contact, trusted tradespeople, and top-tier project management.
CRATE credits its success to close collaboration with clients and its extensive network of artisans, carpenters, certified electricians, and HVAC professionals. With every detail custom-designed and executed with care, each project becomes a tailored reflection of the family it serves.
Design consultants Jill Betts Rosenberg and Laura Phillips bring their international experience and personal flair to CRATE’s growing list of standout properties. From boho beach escapes in Amapas to legacy villas in Conchas Chinas, the team continues to deliver on high expectations with creative, hands-on solutions.
