Description

Casa Nicoya in Sayulita is a beautiful three bedroom hilltop vacation home, conveniently located on Gringo Hill, just a 5-7 minute walk from the Plaza and Beach, with ocean views and stunning sunsets to be enjoyed from every floor.

Relax by the saltwater pool, grill up some dinner, nap in a hammock or read a book in one of the many comfy lounge spaces and enjoy the tropical breezes this unique indoor/outdoor floor plan has to offer.

The Main House at Casa Nicoya is comprised of three bedrooms, and three and a half baths on two levels, each with their own fully-equipped kitchen and lounge area. Perfectly situated overlooking twinkly Sayulita you will enjoy taking in the ocean to the North, and breathtaking sunsets to the West.

The first floor includes an en-suite King bedroom with its own spacious bathroom, ceiling fan & A/C unit.

The second floor is like sleeping in a treehouse with sweeping views and jungle breezes. There are two bedrooms, a King bedroom with screened-in glass sliding windows, floor fan & A/C , and an open-air King bedroom with ceiling fan & curtains for privacy, each with their own en-suite bathroom. The King can be converted to two Twins if desired. These two bedrooms share a second kitchen and lounge area. Every bedroom in Casa Nicoya has roomy closets, a state-of-the-art keypad safe for your valuables, hair dryer, fan and mosquito net for your comfort. 

Disconnect completely or work remotely from the hammock, our wifi is strong enough for your Zoom calls.

We have two internet providers  (Sayulita WIFI & Telmex) to maximize signal strength & uptime.

Housekeeping service is twice weekly and drinkable water is provided on every floor. We are happy to share booking information for airport pickup, golf cart rental/delivery, local activities, or share our favorite spots to surf and eat, just ask during booking!

Due to the existance of many high balconies and stone stairs, for safety reasons, we do not rent to families with children ages 2-12. We hope you understand.

THINGS TO NOTE:

* This listing is for the Main House only. Depending on the dates, the separate lower Casita (not included in this listing) is available via this listing for specific dates, //www.sayulitalife.com/nicoya

or may be occupied by the owner or property manager, Zoey. With the Main House rental you will have a private entrance, exclusive access to the Main House and 24/7 access to the pool. The only thing that is shared with the Casita is the garage entrance & the pool area (but don't worry we'll give you plenty of solo time by the pool if we are there).

* Casa Nicoya is up on the hill, tiered into the hillside. The Main house is two levels, with stairs in between and stairs down to the pool level below. The walk to town is either a 7 min staircase walk or a still-pretty-short street walk. If you have an aversion to stairs, Casa Nicoya may not be for you. :) But we think the views and central location are worth it!

* Like most Sayulita homes, you will likely hear the "symphony of the jungle" while staying with us & the occasional dance party from the valley below. Birds, roosters, the neighbor donkey...you never know who will chime in as the sun rises. If you are sensitive to noise we recommend running a floor fan for white noise.


THINGS TO NOTE FOR July-Oct bookings: Guests booking during rainy season 
* We are located in a tropical, rural area with teeming wildlife blended into town and surrounding it. The house is VERY OPEN which is what makes it unique and special. Please note that during big rains, common spaces will get wet and there will be more mosquitos and insects in the house. The open-air room may get wind or mist in big storms so we recommend not relying on that bedroom or the sofa beds during rainy season.

* Sayulita has recently experienced occasional summer power outages (this is town wide & not specific to our home) which means hot nights if there is no AC or ceiling fan. We have purchased several USB powered fans & highly recommend keeping them charged just in case the power goes out or brown-outs prevent AC usage.

* Don’t be surprised to spot crabs wandering around, lizards on ceilings, and yes, a few spiders. The geckos will cruise around on walls and ceilings eating smaller insects, including mosquitoes, so they are our friends, please do not kill them. Insects love the jungle, and we love them, they keep our environment healthy. Casa Nicoya uses pest control procedures only when necessary. The house comes with several bottles of bug repellant for you to use if you need it. Scorpions are rare but possible, so we recommend walking around with flip-flops and leaving shoes turned upside down.

Please use the contact form to get in touch, by email or telephone, with any questions and to request a reservation. We look forward to welcoming you to Sayulita!

Outstanding stay
During our 12-night stay, we had the entire property to ourselves, and the experience was nothing short of glorious from the moment we stepped in. The house, perfectly suited for six adults, provided each of us with our own space to enjoy. The views from the top floor were simply sensational, and the overall cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen added to the charm.

We appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the complimentary coffee and spices, which made the stay more convenient. Not having to worry about basics like toilet paper and paper towels was a nice touch. The daily housekeeping service proved to be invaluable, allowing us to fully savor our vacation. The housekeeper went above and beyond by preparing a huge and delicious traditional meal with generous portions.

The house itself was a blend of modernity and timeless elegance, creating a relaxed vibe that we thoroughly enjoyed. Every corner seemed like an Instagram-worthy shot, showcasing the attention to detail in the design. We are already looking forward to returning next year, a testament to the truly 5-star experience. The communication throughout our stay was excellent and highly responsive. Overall, it was an exceptional and memorable stay.

Everything was amazing!
What a wonderful, relaxing time we had at Casa Nicoya! The house was exactly as described and great for our girls trip of 6. Highly recommend getting a golf cart rental for your stay to get around town. Thanks for everything!

Beautiful home & great host
Our family of five just returned from nine days at the beautifully designed and uniquely crafted Casa Nicoya. The open air common areas allowed everyone a comfortable space throughout the day. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking breakfast, sitting at the dining table, watching the sun light up the fauna with the birds singing. It was magic.
We enjoyed the sunny pool area with the optional shaded Palapa with plenty of charging plugs. We grilled or catch of the day and then dined poolside with a view of the ocean. It is a short walk to town but a golf cart was worth it. Lisa is a wonderful host. She provides a welcome booklet with everything you need to know. All of her recommendations, especially the alley cat catamaran tour, was so much fun.
The only downside of the trip was the band playing downtown. If you are a light sleeper pack some earplugs. In total we had a fantastic vacation.

Can't wait to come back!
If you’re in between a few places in Sayulita: stop looking and book here! I rarely leave a vacation rental knowing we’re going to come back and Lisa’s place is exactly that. It is one of the best vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed at!

Stunning Place!
My husband and I stayed here during our wedding week in Sayulita and absolutely loved Casa Nicoya. It is truly even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Zoey welcomed us upon arrival and Lisa was the one we communicated with the most before and after our trip. Both were so wonderful and truly made us feel at home. My bridesmaids and I got our hair/makeup done at Casa Nicoya the day of our wedding and Lisa and Zoey even went out of their way to get us a couple of full body mirrors they didn't originally have in the casita. It was a small but truly sweet gesture that we really appreciated! We will definitely be coming back and looking to stay at Casa Nicoya when in Sayulita. Thank you Lisa & Zoey!

Left nothing to be desired
This property is perched high atop Gringo hill in prime location with simple five minute walking distance to the main plaza. The property itself has a beautiful indoor outdoor feel with gorgeous breezeways and sight-lines. The cleanliness is impeccable. There are two kitchens suitable for cooking. The views from every level are breathtaking. I really enjoyed staying on one of the top level bedrooms because I enjoyed the patio there more than I would have staying downstairs. However, I will say that if privacy is important, and all the rooms are full, staying in the first floor bedroom would afford the best sight and sound privacy. Zoey the property manager had the amazing characteristics of being incredibly available yet invisible, despite living on the lower level below the pool. Normally I have reservations about staying in a place with a host on property. However, this is an exception. She is both knowledgeable and helpful and made our travel and stay seamless. Question not, this is likely the best rental property in Sayulita for the price. Lisa charges a fair price for an incredibly unique architectural phenomenon. You and your loved ones will undoubtedly find it impossible not to be awestruck and wish you could stay forever.

Beyond Impressed, everything was perfect
I cannot say enough about the wonderful stay we just enjoyed at Casa Nicoya. Before we even arrived we felt taken care of. Lisa was able to recommend great tours, food spots, and lots of activities. Zoey was at the door to greet us and take us on a full tour of the home. The property is SO unique it was amazing having the full tour right when we arrived. The views were incredible and we successfully lounged in their many open spaces. The pool was refreshing and perfect for our group. Lisa even was able to offer fresh coconut from the palm tree that was right by the villa. So thoughtful! We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for the most amazing memories!

Incredible all around
Wow what a fabulous place! The view, the pool, the decor and the lush landscaping….I even grew to love the many steps and steep hill to get down to town and back.
Lisa and Zoey were both awesome communicators, very responsive, and full of helpful info and recommendations. The Christmas/New Years holidays are very busy in Sayulita, crowded and loud but colorful, festive and lively!
Take a short hike up the coast to Playa Malpaso for some solitude.
We loved the whole area and can’t wait to come back!

Would love to come again!
Had a great stay at the Casa!
The home is beautiful, lots of room for a group to spread out and relax. Loved how open and airy everything is + great location with a good little workout up and down the hill to town. The pool is wonderful and afternoon cool down. Everything you may need (from a line juicer to a beach bag) was available to use. Zoey was onsite and super responsive if we had questions. The private transfer from the airport was great and it even stopped for us to get groceries on the way into Sayulita.
Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Bio Please mention SayulitaLife
In 2013, my husband (Eric) and I quit our fast paced Bay Area tech jobs to backpack around the world for a year. And after a year of exploring, we just. couldn't. stop. One year turned into a lifestyle as we have transitioned into our dream life of working remotely while traveling the world. We now split our time between Sayulita, Lisbon, San Francisco/Tahoe and "somewhere new and exciting". We are always eager to explore new cultures, learn a new language, and make new interesting friends. Extra passport pages are evidence I am living the life I want to live. We are grateful to have traveled to many fabulous places in the world, and found ourselves looking forward every year to our stint in Sayulita. So we decided to plant some roots, and bought a home in Sayulita that allows us to live here in the Casita a few months a year while renting the main house to fellow travelers like you! We welcome you to our dream home in this magical Pueblo and look forward to sharing it with you!
