Safe, stunning, hospitable seaside manse
As gorgeous as these pics are, you may, like us, think you’ve arrived at the wrong house. Really splendid. A vacation layer cake of a house. Full view of beach and water (thru public access), not just the sunset “slit” you see here. All day bodyboarding in warm water, regatta of sups, boards etc. these hosts SHARE. Warm pool overlooking sea. Sprawling outdoor entertainment area, fully stocked, substantial sofas, shade. home’s Interior elegant and soulful, as if shaped by an artist over time. from uriarte put to daily use to handwoven chairs, and yet it feels comfortable, like home. (Tho need 1 softer mattress upstairs). Books you’ve wanted to read. Dirt road first time daunting in dark, but fine in a.m. and here’s the benefit: you are not in the sayulita tourist trap (tho close enuf to it and our favorite, San pancho, to enjoy the restaurants, shops, nightlife)…here you are in a u.s. retirement/telecommute strip at edge of a mexican village.We stumbled into the annual saint event,moved to tears by a procession of 300 stately cowboys on horses brushed to a sheen. And they invited us to their stuff. Location Very quiet. Feels safe, locals so hospitable that one guy, Alonso,even watched our daughter in the waves. Gate is just for house, at bottom of steep driveway. Must manually lock it (not our fave feature). Host available immediately at all hours, we took many of his recommendations, they were terrific. One of our best vacations ever, thanks to this host and Vrbo. Grateful.
