California Casual Meets Sayulita Serenity

A very relaxing and enjoyable winter escape from Canada was found for a family of three in Sayulita. Each day greeted us with warm sunny weather, delicious food prepared by friendly Mexicans and endless surfing for our teenage daughter. We loved staying at the Casita Amarilla …the highlights were the clean Casa’s, the beautiful grounds where we read underneath the rooftop palapa or lounged by the pool and the visits with the owners Doug and Sheran King. Their hospitality was outstanding including an incredible Christmas dinner. We very much enjoyed our 2 week retreat to Sayulita and highly recommend staying at the Casita Amarilla.

My husband and I stayed in the lower casita for three weeks, and we still were not ready to go home. The property is fantastic for any length of stay. The casitas have all the amenities needed to be comfortable for any length of time, and since we were there three weeks, we used the laundry, we cooked meals, we had friends visit for an afternoon by the pool, and we truly felt at home. The internet is top notch, as I had to work some each day so that was important. We had the pleasure of Doug and Sheran's (owners) company during part of the stay, very enjoyable to spend some time enjoying margaritas with, and the folks that help maintain the property are wonderful, so helpful and keep the property immaculate. The way the property is designed, you can find your private space if you like, or hang out with others around the pool, we met so many great people during our stay as the other casita was occuppied by different couples through our stay. Sayulita itself is a dream vacation spot, and less than a ten minute walk puts you in the heart of town and the beach is just a couple blocks further. There is plenty to do in Sayulita, as well as some great little towns and beaches to go explore. Surfing, boogie boarding and paddle boarding are a must. We highly recommend Stand Up Paddle for lessons/rentals, the crew is super, and they have a great bar in back of the shop for the evenings. Mangiafuoco, the Italian restaurant just down the hill from the property has the best pizza and fresh handmade pasta, it's like being in Italy, for when you finally grow tired of all the great tacos found at the various little taco shops on the street. Los Afortunadas is another great dining place for a nice meal, beautiful garden setting and the best pork chop my husband ever had. Hopping the bus, getting a taxi or even renting a car for the day is easy to do in town, if you want to spend a day in Puerto Vallarta or elsewhere. There are so many activities, great people, great restuarants, there isn't enough space to list them all, but you won't be sorry taking a Sayulita vacation and staying at Casitas Amarilla.

Casa Amarilla or casitas I have stayed at both. Don't make the mistake of going anywhere else. My husband and almost 2 year old stayed 3 years ago and it was amazing, beyond amazing. This year we returned and stayed in a casita, equally fabulous. Doug and Sheran do not miss anything, they go beyond your greatest expectations. The beautiful grounds, the palapas, the pool, the hammocks, the washer and dryer,the refridgerators on all levels! music, wireless, TV with Satelite and tons of channels, Endless towels, and great beds! (huge!) So comfy. The beautiful bathroom and insane shower, kitchen that has it all and more and so amazingly clean and beautiful. The most wonderful staff, like family. We will never go anywhere else. Thank you Thank you!
Our daughter now 5 and a half slept great on the couch and in the huge bed with us, plenty of room. We made the mistake of thinking we needed to find a "two bedroom" and Doug and Sheran rescued us and got us in with a moments notice to PARADISE!
