Casa Sempre Avanti

Sempre Avanti is a magical place, and perfect for a relaxing getaway that embraces the best things that the area has to offer: Beach, pool, outdoor living space, and all in a very modern, thought-out floor plan. Scott, the owner was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. He insured that we got from town up the villa smoothly, and thoroughly explained all of the features of the home. The staff were amazing and available for us. Maria makes amazing food. German (pronounced Herman) went out of his way to help us when we needed him, and speaks near perfect English. The location is remote (which is also one of the great things about it), so be prepared to rent a car, or golf cart to get back and forth to town via a scenic jungle road. Though, once you're at the villa, you may not want to leave. I can't say enough great things about our stay and will definitely be back again. Thanks, Scott, German and Maria for an unforgettable stay.

“Wow, what can we say. Scott's place was amazing, the pictures don't even do it justice. The location was fantastic especially if you like to retreat to the quiet of your private pool and beach after the busy beach in Sayulita. The accommodations were spotless and very comfortable. The walk through the jungle to town was a nice adventure. German and Marie were the perfect host/hostess and Maria's cooking was wonderful, we highly recommend the local fish! We will definitely be back.”

Sempre Avanti is a beautiful home. We spent 6 days here and enjoyed every moment of it! The house is more beautiful than we anticipated. It is an open house so the only rooms that are really closed off are the bedrooms. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and their own en-suite. They are both very spacious and were comfortable. The dining room is open and has a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean. We ate all meals at the table and enjoyed Maria’s cooking. Maria was fantastic and made American and Mexican cuisines for us. We loved her flank steak and the pizzas that her and German prepared for us were amazing. I did cook a few meals myself in the kitchen and found everything easy enough. I had a little bit of trouble with the stove but once I figured it out, I was able to use it without any issue. Apparently the stove burners don’t necessarily work all the time and I just happened to have one of those moments where they were being tricky. Even with that hiccup, it was great to make a breakfast for the family before we left for our fishing trip. I would recommend putting your food in the fridge or in ziploc bags (you may have to get them at the store). We had a bit of an ant problem on our first night with how open the house is. Maria helped to clean up and put the food away for us so we didn’t lose anymore. The infinity pool was fantastic and German keeps it well cleaned and maintained. We enjoyed the ability to play and swim in the pool and then walk down to the beach, which was a very short walk. The beach was amazing and almost entirely private and we found that there were some smooth areas that were perfect for us to swim at. We had asked Scott to have 2 surfboards (we paid ~$150 for the 6 days) at the house for us and he was able to make the arrangements for us. It was perfect. Unfortunately, my son was not really excited to go surfing so we didn’t use them. German brought out the boogie boards (free) and beach chairs for us as well. Scott was an amazing host! He not only arranged to have the surf boards at the house for us but he also arranged for us to go fishing with a few of the locals, Paco and his father Guillermo. They were awesome and we caught some big fish that we were able to bring back to the house. Guillermo picked us up at the house and even drove us back and forth. We did rent a car and I would agree with other reviews that if you are going to do that, you have to rent an SUV as you are driving a little bit off road which was fun! Scott was very responsive and super friendly. I appreciated his help in confirming all of the charges so we knew up front what to expect. We had the most amazing vacation. It was the best way to end the summer. We definitely recommend Sempre Avanti and all it had to offer!”

“Scott's place in Sayulita was absolutely amazing! The indoor/outdoor feel of it was a perfect match to the surroundings. We loved the isolation yet were only a few minute drive into town. We already have plan to come back again.”

“Sempre Aventi is a great house, with amazing ocean views. But what places Sempre above all, are German & Maria, the husband and wife team. Maria handles all your cooking and cleaning needs. And she is an exceptional cook. German handles all your other needs. They made our vacation. Loved them.”

This place is a dream! It might even be prettier than the pictures. The beach is amazing, the pool area is so relaxing, and the rooms and floorplan are beautiful. Maria and German are so nice and Maria is an amazing cook! It's about a 45 min walk to downtown Sayulita so it's nice to be more remote to relax but you have the option to go into town too. It's a great location! Scott the owner was so nice to work with too. We will definitely be back!

“This was like walking into an HGTV home. So spacious, clean and private. Scott was a fantastic host and communication was prompt. He arranged for an easy airport pickup. The home staff struck a great balance of being attentive and giving us our space. It was the perfect place to chill out for five days. Hope to be back soon!”

My family just spent a fantastic week at Scott’s property.. Beach is secluded and beautiful with opportunities to catch fish from shore and swim in surf. My boys 5 and 7 loved playing in water and chasing crabs on beach. Surf can be large so life jackets are a good idea for small children. Home is thoughtfully designed with amazing views. Scott was an amazing host making sure we were comfortable. He even drove to town at 9pm to purchase Tylenol for my wife. Maria is an excellent cook and German makes sure your transportation is organized and the grounds/pool and property are well maintained. Truly an amazing vacation. Looking forward to a return trip one day.

“Scott's house was the perfect location for our family. We wanted to check out Sayulita, but have a home base away from the action to relax. Scott's place was situated on a private beach, close to a fun surf break. The house had everything we needed for our family, the outdoor BBQ and Pizza oven were a plus. German and Maria were amazing caretakers, and I don't think I'll have better fish tacos or margaritas anywhere as good as Marias! This won't be our last stay!”

This house is just like the video and maybe even better because the ocean is even closer than it appears in pictures. The view, the sunsets, the pool, the PRIVATE beach that goes on for a long time, the amenities, Scott (the owner) German and Maria (the caretakers), everything was absolutely perfect! We felt completely safe at all times in the house as well as in Downtown Sayulita! The house is nestled in the jungle so you can see no neighbors, just the amazing view of the ocean. Maria is an amazing cook. Her quac and salsa and her chicken fajitas were our favorites. We also had the pizza night on our last night which was a big hit. We love seafood but were told that fish can be iffy in Mexico. Some highlights I recommend are: Have German make a fire on the beach for you one night. It is beautiful and the stars will blow you away! Walk down the beach to the left, there are a bunch of caves and rock arches. Great photo opps. Go into Sayulita at least once. Our favorite places were Don Pedro's right on the beach and the Calypso overlooking the square. Both had amazing service and food. The surf at the house was pretty rough but the public beach in Sayulita was much calmer and it was also fun to be in the hustle and bustle some times. We took surfing lessons with Luchi. I emailed her when we got there and she was flexible with times. She was AMAZING and took us to an absolutely beautiful beach. In general I would, with no hesitation, 100% recommend this house. Not a single thing about it wasn't perfect!
