LOCATION
❁ Location:
The Casa is located above the Plaza on Gringo Hill, which is the very steep hill directly behind the plaza. It overlooks downtown Sayulita. The Plaza is a 3-min walk, the main beach and surf break is another 2 minutes.
❁ Nighttime Noise:
Please reconsider if you'd like to avoid downtown noise at night. Leyenda is removed to a high perch above the Plaza, but the thump of Sayulita night-life floats up, especially during Easter and Christmas. The trade-off is convenience to downtown and easy access to the main surf-break (literally a 3-4 min walk). Closing windows helps to block the noise, and we provide earplugs and white noise machines to help out.
❁ Hill Climb:
Please reconsider if mobility is a challenge. The one-block walk back from the Plaza is steep rugged cobblestone, and is followed by flights of stairs.
CASA LEYENDA SPACE
❁ Bedrooms:
The flat has two large bedrooms, which have air-conditioning (1-ton AC units), king-size beds, and en-suite bathrooms. Luxury linens promise comfort, and each room is decorated with richly-colored Mexican textiles and art. The master bedroom has sweeping ocean views, and accesses the ocean-view terrace. The second bedroom has peek-a-boo ocean views; it has less direct sunlight, so is perfect for sleeping.
❁ Ocean-View Terrace:
The terrace has a view that sweeps across the Plaza and onto the ocean. It is furnished for dining, and has a gas grill. It is accessed via the master bedroom.
❁ Kitchen:
The kitchen is fullly equipped, and is a beautiful place to be creative. Block-style skylights above brighten this space with filtered, natural light. A counter-top bar invites friends to sit and chat, and you’ll find high-end cookware, coffee prep, pottery dishes, and beautiful blue glassware. A shared 1/2 bath near the kitchen is conveniently located for common use.
❁ Living area & Loft bed:
The living area has air conditioning (3-ton AC unit) and is continuous with the kitchen. It has a large dining table that accommodates 6-8 people. The couch is hand-made of solid wood, and a loft functions as an added sleeping area. The carpentry of the loft (ladder, rails and shelving) is hand-built with quality wood and quality workmanship. It is a beautiful nook with a twin-size bed. Together with curtains and star-lights, it becomes a dreamy frame for any child’s imagination. A built-in fan keeps it comfortably cool. This sleeping space is accommodated by the nearby 1/2 bath.
❁ Carport and garden:
A carport is available to park a car, or to park and charge a golf cart, and to store surfboards. The path from the carport to the house traverses a small garden, which is packed with banana, papaya, heliconia of all types, exotic plants and flowers. As a result, it attracts hummingbirds, chachalacas, and parrots.
INTERNET
❁ Fiber-Optic Internet:
Wifi speeds are 40 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload. The network connection is dedicated to the Casa and is exclusive to guest use only. Expect solid video conferencing and uninterrupted performance.
Property Management:
-For over 15 years Casa and Casita Leyenda have had the same same property manager with the same cleaning staff ( Cynthia and Mariana) and gardener (Alex). Security is their high priority, and they have an impeccable security record.
-The property management team has a physical location at the Plaza with open hours daily. They are always there for you.
Guest access
–Guests have access to the entire Casa, Terrace, Garden and Car Port.
The car port entry and exterior stair is a shared entrance to both Casa Leyenda and Casita Leyenda. Casita Leyenda is located above the Casa. Parking in the car port is dedicated to Casa guests, exit and entry through it is shared with Casita guests.
– Guests staying in the Casita above Casa Leyenda share entrance gates and the stairs. Expect guest traffic past the Casa (stairs leading to Casita) when the Casita is occupied.

Other things to note
– Low season: June 1 – October 31.
Low season brings heavy rains to Sayulita. It is also the hottest time of the year. Heat and thunder storms (spectacular to see) put a heavy burden on the maturing infrastructure of Sayulita. Demands on restricted resources cause water shortages and power outages. There are always work-arounds, but just be aware of a degree of unpredictability during the hot and rainy season.
– Alterations:
Please note that we don't accept alteration requests that shorten the reservation when less than 45 days from the check-in date. When less than 45 days to check-in, the listing cancelation policy (50% refund) applies to cancelled dates in the reservation.
Please use the contact form to get in touch with any questions or to request a reservation.
