Welcome to Casa Escondida, your private and intimate tropical hideaway with beautiful ocean views, located in Sayulita's exclusive north beach location.  Escondida, meaning hidden, is an appropriate name for this small but elegant home as it is nestled among the hills and surrounded by a tropical garden.  It was recently completed and is a Mexican-style house with many traditional characteristics such as a red tiled roof, brick arches, handmade tiles, wrought iron, exposed ceiling beams, and an open-air kitchen.
 
It is the perfect vacation home for 1 or 2 people, or a small family.  The large bedroom has a king-size bed and a full-size bed.  The full-size bed is built into a nook and perfect for 1 or 2 children, or for day-dreaming.  The room is air conditioned and stylishly furnished with handmade local furniture and regional artwork.  The bathroom is tiled with colorful handmade Mexican tiles and has a large shower.  The open-air kitchen is modern and fully equipped and built in the traditional local style with brick arches showing views of the ocean and tropical garden.  If you prefer not to cook and stay at home, arrangements can be made to have a delicious home-cooked meal delivered.  The pool in front of the house has a small wading area and the patio is equipped with chairs, lounge chairs, and a sun umbrella.  
 
No matter where you are, inside or outside the house or in the pool, you will have sweeping views of the ocean, the hills and the town of Sayulita.  Here at Casa Escondida, any place is the perfect place to watch the sunset!

Sayulita

Sayulita is a charming fishing village about a 35-minute drive on Highway 200 through a lush mountain rainforest north from Puerto Vallarta. Low-key tourism and a traditional pueblo life-style go hand in hand in this picturesque village. On the palm-tree lined beach you can rent lounge chairs and sun umbrellas, lunch at one of the many beach cafés, go for a swim or hit the waves for some first-class surfing, take surf lessons, go horseback riding, or charter a boat to go fishing or snorkeling. Scattered through town are wonderful restaurants, many of them serving savory local dishes, others serving international cuisine such as Italian, French, Chinese, and Argentinean. There are boutiques, small grocery stores, internet cafes, a library, medical center, pharmacy, and a few family-operated tour operators offering jungle trips, mountain biking, kayaking, zip line adventures, horseback riding, visits to neighboring colonial towns and ancient pre-Columbian petroglyphs.
In the center of town is a charming plaza where the locals and tourists linger in the evening. Depending on the season you may witness colorful fiestas and religious celebrations.

Testimonials (a few of them ...)

"We had a peaceful, magical time at your house in Sayulita.  We loved it!  The house, the setup, the view: all perfect.  If Casa Escondida is available, we would like to reserve it for the same time next year. It was simply the best of all the places we've rented in Sayulita.  Thank you for designing a wonderful house and providing a peaceful retreat."

"Just wanted to touch base - I've been intending to e-mail you ever since we returned from Sayulita.  We had a wonderful time at Casa Escondida - your vacation home is a very special place - we loved it, and it was just what we were looking for.  The staff was wonderful and very helpful.  We received the deposit check back and just wanted to say thanks for being so efficient and delivering everything that was promised.  We hope to stay there again!"

"We arrived home from Sayulita a week ago and I have been digging out from under ever since, hence the delay in contacting you about our 5 days at Casa Escondida. 
Thank you very much for your prompt refund of our deposit, which I received a few days ago.  Thank you also for making Casa Escondida such a lovely and welcoming place... it was absolutely perfect for us in every way.  It was so relaxing to start each day at our own pace, having breakfast while watching the sea birds, the boats, and the whales, and to go to sleep to the sound of the waves.  The staff was delightful and very patient with our son, who is quite a talker.
Many thanks again for helping to make our vacation a pleasant one.  We look forward to staying at Casa Escondida again."

"I wanted to send this e-mail to thank you for your accommodations.  My brother loved the place.  I went up to see the house and it was gorgeous.  He had the nicest house there.  The pool was beautiful, the house was clean, and the kitchen was just awesome."

"Sorry we have taken so long to thank you for the wonderful stay at Casa Escondida... it was a perfect hideaway! From the iPod station to the high quality kitchen appliances and accessories, there was nothing we lacked.
The walk to town and back was invigorating, we loved spending time wandering around and visiting along the way.  It was nice to have lights on the steps at night when we came back... after we remembered to turn them on that is!  We really also appreciated your blinds in the afternoon - it does get hot out there and this made it a nice refuge on the few days we wanted to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
You have designed a home that creates the feeling of isolation along with all the comforts and needs a person could want.  Your staff was helpful while being invisible; it was such a great relief to have the groceries in the fridge waiting for us. 
We totally enjoyed our stay and would buy your home if it was for sale!  We just wish we could have stayed longer and will try to contact you next time we want to run away to this part of Mexico again.
Muchas gracias for you hospitality and care from a distance, it was mucho appreciated!
I know you have pictures of those sunsets, but had to send you a few of ours."
