Description

Casa Humaliwo in Litibu, between Sayulita and Punta Mita is your private oasis located just steps away from the sand on Playa Litibu. A beautifully unique custom family compound with three deluxe master suites around a central private pool with ocean views.

The main house is ideal for entertaining with an open floor plan living room and a fully loaded kitchen where you can listen to the waves crashing and keep an eye on the surf while you prepare a meal. Arched hardwood French doors and windows open out to the pool deck on one side as well as lovely dining area out front under a large covered patio complete with an outdoor cooking area and gas grill. The home is furnished with custom built furniture brought back from travels throughout Asia including two daybeds which can comfortably sleep a couple kids in the living room. The master bedroom has its own set of French doors which open out to the pool deck where you can sit by the fire pit between dips in the pool.

The Green Room is a private suite with expansive accordion doors that open out to it’s own covered patio with ocean views. With the room opened up you can taste the salty breeze coming off the beach as the sound of the waves lulls you to sleep. The spacious high ceiling bathroom tastefully adorned with beach treasures and precious stones, accesses the pool as well.

The Sky Room boasts the most spectacular views of all from its 3rd story perch. Looking to the north is a perfectly framed view of the legendary Monkey Mountain (*a not to be missed hike for the adventurous visitor). This suite has its own kitchen, luxurious bathroom, a King size bed as well as a full size bed option.

Casa Humaliwo is your tropical home away from home and has been in our family for 20 years. You can feel the love and intention that was put into the property over the years in the quality of workmanship, material choices and mindful artistic details throughout the property. The home is equipped with air-conditioning for the more humid months and

Wi-fi for staying connected while you enjoy the paradise that is Casa Humaliwo in Playa Litibu.

Authentic gem, tucked away from tourism!
I've stayed here many times over the last decade, both with groups of friends and my family.
I'll make 2 cases here: 1. Why Litibu; 2. Why this property.

WHY LITIBU!
If you're looking to escape the tourists, this is the spot! I stayed in Sayulita for years, but when it became too touristy for me, this little gem in Litibu became my go-to. Litibu is close enough to head into bigger towns for day trips or to go out at night, and then you get to retreat back to your own strip of quiet paradise. OR you never have to leave the neighborhood during your stay! Spend your days beach or poolside, and head into Higuera Blanca (adjacent neighborhood with little convenient stores) for an ice cream bar mid-day. I've done it both ways.
Speaking of paradise, the house is mere steps from the beach, and the only beach goers here are the locals that live in the neighborhood (mostly Mexican and a few expat). I feel incredibly safe heading down to the beach by myself to tan or for an early morning dip. Bonus: in the last few years, a few restaurants came to the beach and set up shop within walking distance of the house. Great beach-front, open-air spots for a romantic sunset dinner. Kilometro 5 also deserves a shout out - a fun restaurant/bar with a trendy shop right outside the entrance to Higuera Blanca.

WHY THIS PROPERTY!
Setting expectations here: if you're bougie and looking for luxury, stay in a hotel. If you have an outdated obsession with all white everything and boho decor, go to Tulum. If a local experience, in a home with so much charm, is for you, then Casa Humaliwo is it. I've fallen in love with the colorful walls and thatched roof. I've had house call massages in the top room during sunset. The property lends itself to wonderfully to indoor-outdoor living, with a large patio off the kitchen for sharing group meals, watching the sunset, and after-hours game nights.
There are 3 separated living spaces: a main house and 2 smaller units, which make it an extra perfect set up for 3 couples traveling together or for a multi-generational family with 3 groups. Each room (I believe) has a king bed, and wide daybed/couches for the kiddos are found within the main house and one of the smaller units. Keep in mind, there are stairs to get up onto the property and to the smaller units.

Thank you Casa Humaliwo for all the memories!

The Getaway You've Been Needing!
I have taken 4 trips in total to this impeccable house. The photos don't do it justice. The location is local, but close to the resorts and high end towns. The stretch of beach is private, local and across the street. The house itself has everything you could need- 3 full bedrooms located in different structures to provide privacy and seclusion. I have been there full of friends or just with a romantic partner and they both create a welcoming atmosphere everyone is wowed by. The upper Palapa is my favorite, open all the windows and screens for the best breeze in town. If you crave a more resort atmosphere you can have lunch at the Four Seasons or the Imanta and get the ultimate in resort living, while paying a fraction of the price for your compound. I cannot wait to visit again.

Authentic Mexico Experience in a Beautiful Setting!
I stayed here on my second visit to Mexico, and I absolutely loved it! It was the perfect escape from the stresses of life. It felt like I got a more authentic Mexico experience being a bit off the beaten path, but at the same time, we were easily able to fly into Puerto Vallarta and go to Sayulita during our stay. The property is literally a few minutes walking distance from Litibu Grill and you can drive a short distance to get to other yummy local restaurants. Kilómetro Cinco is one of them - they had great food, great views, and great vibes, complete with live music. The property is also RIGHT across from the beach which means beautiful sunrise/sunset views and easy access to go swimming. There are also other amazing beaches within a few miles and some great hikes. The pool was lovely if we didn't want to go to the beach, and the accommodations were pretty and cozy! Overall, an amazing stay!

Perfectly relaxing and absolutely stunning home
I don't know where to begin. This home has so many beautiful details. Every room is charming. I had the pleasure of staying in the main bedroom, which overlooks the ocean. Like, it's right there. I could have stayed in bed all weekend listening to the waves crashing. There's a lot of open air. The breeze is your soundtrack. The showers are super cool. You'll know what I mean when you get there...I don't know how to actually explain that. The pool is perfect for a quick cool off dip or to do some laps. The whole environment in the poolside is delightful. It was hard not to want to spend all my time there as well. But the beach is literally RIGHT THERE and it's a beautiful beach. Litibu is a special place and this beach house fits right in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.


OH! There's a really cute and sweet restaurant called KM5 a quick two or three minute drive away.

Bio Please mention SayulitaLife
My father came down to Nayarit 20 years ago on a location scout for a film project he was working on, and immediately fell in love with this area. He serendipitously ran into an old friend from the LA music scene who had a ranch nearby and guided him to a run down house on a property overlooking the incredible Litibu beach. Over the last 2 decades, our family has poured our love into this house, spent Christmas's and weddings and lazy beach days here. It has been such a joy to have as a home away from home and we are happy to share it with you.
