Sunsets in Sayulita
Submitted: February 6, 2012
Stayed: January 2012
Our group of 8 friends had a wonderful time at Casa de la Vida. Anita was quick to respond to our emails, and was helpful as we prepared for our trip. The house is beautiful, and we especially enjoyed evenings on the patio, having dinner al fresco while watching the sun set - with entertainment provided by the geckos on the ceiling. The view from the patio or pool is fantastic - we scoped out the local surf break in the mornings before heading in, and saw whales breaching several times. From the house, you can be at the beach in minutes (although the main beach and surf break is about 15 minutes walk away). Downtown Sayulita is friendly and charming, and is also about 15 minutes walk. There are also some great jungle trails, just next to the house. Azucena (the housekeeper) was delightful and kept the house tidy. She is also a great cook, and with Anita's recommendation we had her cook meals for us several times during our stay. It was indeed delicious, and she was very gracious to accommodate our special requests (making part of the meal vegan/vegetarian friendly). If you want to cook for yourself, the kitchen is well stocked with all the dishes/utensils you will need, and there is also a gas barbeque for your use. We also really enjoyed eating in town - especially breakfast at Rollie's, lunch at Burrito Revolucion, and dinner at Il Vizietto (amazing pizza and fresh pasta, on the right before you cross the river - look for the swings!). The quarters were a little tight for 8 adults (families with children would probably be more comfortable at that number), but it worked out just fine for our group. If you are planning a large group, be aware that although 2 bedrooms are very spacious and have attached baths, the 3rd bedroom is small and has a separate entrance at the back of the house and no bathroom. Overall, we had a wonderful time! Thank you Anita & Jim for sharing your beautiful home - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!
