Stayed for 10 days. 4 adults and 1 teen and 1 toddler. Plenty of space for all and very comfy king beds. Felt very safe at this location. Indoor/outdoor living feel, but adequate a/c in bedroom. Waves sound rocked you to sleep. So nice not to hear traffic or people or roosters.
Manuel the groundskeeper was very polite and a hard worker. He made an effort to communicate everyday. Manuel and Suli the housekeeper were very kind to our young daughter. We appreciated the work that was done to keep the house immaculate. Manuel even brought us coconuts to drink from.
The north end of Sayulita is very tranquilo but has everything you need.
You could spend everyday at the beach in front of the property. So beautiful.

We stayed at Casa Cantamar from Feb7-17th. Our group consisted of 4 adults, 1 teenager and 1 toddler. We were picked up from the PVR airport by Sayulita Luxury Transportation that Avalos arranged for us. It was hassle free and we even made a stop at the Mega in Bucerias on the way to Sayulita to stock up on groceries. Casa Cantamar was the perfect laid-back setting for our group. There was plenty of room for everyone in the 3 bedrooms. To get to the upstairs bedroom, the only staircase is outside the main house. The beds were all very comfortable, with nice clean linens and the towels were the softest we had ever used and were changed every couple of days. Zuli, the housekeeper, came everyday between 9 and 10am and left everything spotless for us. The garden space was immaculate and beautiful. Manny, the groundskeeper, is on top of everything and super friendly and helpful. The garden area boasts a plunge pool that is actually larger than it appears in the pictures. The view of the crashing waves was excellent scenery for having morning coffee. Quite often we even saw whales playing in the sea! The ocean was fun to play in for the adults, but the waves are a little bit too crazy for young kids or weaker swimmers. We used the brick barbeque a couple of times to make chorizo and hamberguesa con queso, which was a relaxing way to prepare lunch!
We rented golf carts from Town Around which had nice carts that could handle the cobble stone streets and any bumpy terrain. I recommend the golf carts at this location, as it is super convenient to run into town quickly vs. half hour walk on the beach with kids.
We mostly ate out and these were our favorite restaurants: Pizza Venezi, Sayulita Café, La Rustica, Tacos El Tal Ivan, Rubens, Emilianos, and Tierra Viva.
We had a wonderful time down in Sayulita and would definitely stay at Casa Cantamar again!

Our party of five stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. The beach location was perfect for watching whales from the outdoor patio. The linens were very nice- luxurious towels etc. beds comfortable. The only drawback was no indoor living space. Dining and conversation was always outdoors. No apparent insect abatement on the property so I recommend bringing bug spray. The housekeeper Zuli and caretaker Manuel were extremely helpful. The pool is not heated so only a few of us went in (I did- a bit cool but refreshing on a hot day.)

Casa Cantamar is a dream vacation rental for so many reasons. Location is quiet and private; ocean view with many options both on patio, from pool, from lounge chairs in yard, or walk down a few steps to the beach!! House is also great inside with super clean and large baths for each bedroom!! Kitchen is modern and very well equipped! Walk to town on beach or rent a golf cart as house has charging station and garage!! Love my Sayulita vacations and love this house!!! 😊

The pictures of Casa Cantamar, the gardens and beach, as amazing as they are, truly don't do it justice. The gardens are colorful and immaculate. The beach is extraordinary and swimmable. The "boys" spent hours body surfing. We spent 6 days in paradise and were hard pressed to find a reason to leave. We loved watching the pelicans and iguanas and all the birds. The sunsets were spectacular. And, of course, being lulled by the sound of the ocean was divine.

The house was very clean, albeit a bit rustic. The bedrooms are large and the A/C works well (it was really hot). There were 7 of us and the staff accommodated us by adding a mattress to one of the bedrooms - it fit with room to spare. The bathrooms were clean and modern. The kitchen is sparse. There is no dishwasher and the frig is small. There are also few utensils/cookware - but enough to get by and we made it work. We did enjoy using the outdoor charcoal bbq. Manual, the groundskeeper, provides fresh water every day. Tons of hot water and great water pressure. We enjoyed the plunge pool, although with the high heat/humidity, it was more like a hot tub than a refreshing dip - still nice to have though. We had no trouble with bugs, even in the evenings.

WiFi worked well. There are no laundry facilities on site, but you can arrange it with Zuli, the housekeeper. She was there (as was Manual) each day but Sunday around 10. She was very helpful and pleasant but unobtrusive and left the house spotless.

You can walk to town - it's about 1 km down the beach (the sand was very hot from late morning through early evening) - a bit of a hike and dark at night (bring flashlights). There are a couple of hills if you want to walk via the road - but not too bad. We rented a golf cart and that made the run in to town easy.

Town is quaint and there is plenty to do and many restaurants (Il Tecate was our favorite Taco Bar) to choose from. There is no supermarket near by, so if you want to stock up, you will want to hit the Mega or Walmart on the way up. That said, we had no trouble finding what supplies we needed in town - you just have to bop around to various stores - i.e. fruits/veggies at one, meat at another, alcohol at another, etc. Prices are quite inexpensive. And, I was happy to find most stores open on Sunday. We also took a short trip up the road to San Pancho for dinner and found it charming.

Theo, with the property management company, assisted us before our departure and was wonderful. He coordinated a traditional Mexican cook to come to the house on our first night (delicious!) and was always prompt at answering my questions.

We are seasoned vacation rental users and I will admit, I was a bit nervous wandering off the Airbnb, VRBO path to try Sayulita Life, but they truly exceeded all my expectations.

We will be back to Casa Cantamar and I would not hesitate to recommend renting from Sayulita Life.

The home is perfectly situated so as to maximize amazing sunsets and endless ocean-gazing from the comfort of the beach, the patio, the swimming pool or the indoor-outdoor living spaces. It's unique layout give guests the opportunity to interact if desired, although there is plenty of space for solitude also.

We loved Casa Cantamar. The villa itself exceeded our expectations. We were only a couple, and the villa has three huge suites, so we did not even step foot in the spacious second story. The main floor doors fold back to offer great views of the beach and ocean, and easy indoor/outdoor living. Outside the beachfront gates, there are two private palaces, and an elevated private bit of sand. The bathrooms were spacious, the water always hot and great pressure. The kitchen is central, between the two ground floor suites. The appliances were a bit dated but worked well. The beautifully landscaped grounds, and pool, and sloped lawn to the beach were superbly kept by the daily groundskeeper. Plumeria blossoms fell each day, to our delight. The only eating/sitting table is outside, under the veranda facing the ocean. Great for day or night sitting, sipping, and eating. The lawn furniture was nice, clean, and comfortable. Beach towels were plentiful. We were a bit taken aback by the requirement to put all toilet tissue into a plastic-lined wicker hamper, next to the toilet. Never seen that before, and a bit off-putting.
We rented a golf cart from the lovely people at Sayulita Golf Cars in town. It was delivered to the villa just after our arrival, very reasonably priced, and very useful for the several minute drive into town, when the longer beach walk wasn't appropriate.. We had a few bites from small bugs just at dusk, before we bought some repellent - usually on the ankles, in late December. Rental arrangements went very smoothly, as they have US and Sayulita based owner/operators. All in all, I would highly recommend Casa Cantamar, and we would - we will - stay there again.

This house is amazing! Big rooms and beds were comfortable. We loved the view and the location! Friendly and helpful staff!! Couldn’t have asked for anything better!! Can’t wait to come back!

We have been bragging about our trip for two weeks now which is why it took so long to write a review. We stayed in the Casa the first week of March 2018 and except for not having enough forks for the dinner we had prepared for us the first night all was great. That was the one bump and it was fixed very quickly. The location is great sleeping with the sound of the surf was fantastic. Not a drop of rain for the week and we never turned on an air conditioner.
The house is exactly as it shows in the photos . Just stop at the Mega on your way in for supplies. The house keeper and gardener are wonderful and take very good care of you. I have been looking all over and cannot find a better house than this one. We will certainly be back . Really do need a good golf cart though as it is a little hilly. Also contact Daniel at Mexotik to come in and cook for you he is fantastic.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Casa Cantamar. The home & property are as nice as shown in the pictures and the view absolutely can't be beat! The landscaper & house cleaner kept up with the property daily. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will likely book this home for future stays in Sayulita! Cheers!
