About this property

Casa Sonadora - Sayulita's Finest

Casa Soñadora is a truly exceptional vacation rental home with every imaginable amenity.

It is a stunning home located only 1 1/2 blocks from the main swimming and surfing beach and the town center! It is beautifully designed and combines old world Mexican charm with modern comfort and convenience. Every single aspect of this property has been thoroughly considered, so that extraordinary ocean views can be seen from every vantage point, and privacy assured.

There is NO comparison in Sayulita to the incredible features of this unique property. Here are just a few:
* Designed by one of Mexico's most creative architects
* Sayulita's premier location – on a little hill, beach and town center less than 2 blocks away.
* Treehouse with hammock and amazing ocean view
* Every room including all bedrooms have ocean views and terraces or balconies
* Two large Roman bathtubs
* Ozone-treated, heated pool with waterfall
* Dual paned thermal windows throughout – for QUIET!
* Whole house filtered water system (also reverse osmosis)
* 50" LED TVs plus US satellite and Home Theater systems
* Luxury linens
* Huge palapa rooftop terrace with 360 degree views, hammocks and a 2 person round rattan bed for sleeping under the stars

* Chef's Kitchen with granite countertops
* Custom designed furniture
* WiFi
* Music system with bluetooth connection
* Gas BBQ

* Exceptional interiors with beautiful art throughout

Casa Soñadora's location is also the best in Sayulita. It is located in the exclusive south-central area, directly above Sayulita's premier surfing and swimming beach on a little hill and 1 block to town. This area was the first developed by ex-pats who came to Sayulita over 40 years ago. It was chosen above all other areas in Sayulita because of its unsurpassed views of the surf break and the Nayarit coastline and its close proximity to the center of town and main swimming and surfing beach just 1 ½ blocks away. No car is needed when staying at Casa Sonadora, because everything in Sayulita is within a 5 minute stroll. (Another nice feature is the delightful 2 minute walk to town and beach via the beautifully flowering garden and meandering pathway, lovingly called "Lombard Street", referencing San Francisco's famous twisty road.)

Casa Soñadora is one large house that has 4 bedrooms, and a bunk room with 2 single mattresses that adjoins the lower king room so children can stay near their parents. It has 3-1/2 bathrooms, 2 outdoor showers, 2 Roman bathtubs and even a treehouse! The upper floor has a master suite with king bed, private veranda sitting area and gorgeous ocean views. It has an indoor and an outdoor shower and a large Roman bathtub. The second bedroom also has a private veranda with amazing ocean views. It has two queen bunk beds and a bathroom that can be shared with the 4th bedroom. The 4th bedroom sits between these bedrooms and has a king bed with a large LCD TV for use with DVDs with surround sound system and a terrace with the same exceptional ocean views. There are also 2 single rollaways if necessary.

There is a very large garden rooftop terrace with unbelievable 360 degree views of Sayulita Bay, the town and the jungle and mountains surrounding it. Under a massive palapa roof you have your own outdoor living room. The first floor of Casa Soñadora also has wonderful ocean views which can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining room, living room and additional master suite. Off the dining room, there is an outdoor palapa sitting area with pool, garden and ocean view. The living room enjoys the same view with the pool just outside the sliding glass doors. The master suite downstairs is similar to the upstairs one, but bigger and without the outdoor shower, but with the addition of a large LCD TV (for use with DVDs) and sound system. It also has the small adjacent room with 2 bunks for children.

The entire house is beautifully designed and artistically appointed with antique Mexican art and traditional Mexican artifacts. Every bedroom has its own unique charm. They all are air-conditioned, have pillow top mattresses and luxury linens. The whole house has filtered drinking water and there is a pressurized water system too. The swimming pool is heated (great between December and April) and no chlorine or chemicals are used – it is ozone-treated with a touch of salt. There are lawns and beautifully landscaped private tropical gardens. There are DVD players, stereo systems (Ipod compatible) and satellite flat screen TVs. WiFi has also been installed. There is an outdoor shower by the pool and a treehouse with hammock where you can luxuriate in style with exceptional ocean views. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to add to the comfort, beauty and serenity of your stay. Regular maid, gardening and pool service is provided and our property manager, can make arrangements for a cook if desired.

If you book Casa Soñadora, you will be contacted with information (from airport travel from Puerto Vallarta to Casa Soñadora, to the best places to change your money, eat, etc.) Once you arrive Ernesto can recommend the best restaurants, masseuses and activities in the area. The peacefulness and beauty of this property cannot be conveyed in words or pictures. You are away from the town's bustle and directly above the surf break. You can listen to and watch the surf, the surfers, migrating whales and swooping birds while enjoying a cooling breeze. Just a short 2 minute walk down the meandering garden pathway and you are on the beach or a block from the town square. Casa Soñadora is literally your tropical dream come true.

Sayulita Wedding

We came to Sayulita for our son’s destination wedding. The house was perfect as many of the wedding guests booked places nearby and we were able to host a lovely rehearsal dinner at the property. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and a baby. Just a short walk to town and the beach!

Christmas in Casa Sonadora

Our family of 10 stayed in Casa Sonadora and it was the most incredible experience. The house is situated on a beautiful lot overlooking the water and in a convenient location with easy access to the main beach and heart of town. The home is stunning and comfortable and accommodated all of our guests allowing privacy when needed with all the outdoor areas. Beautiful sunsets from the rooftop. Highly recommend reserving a Cook for the night you arrive and Golf carts for zipping around town and to some of the other local beaches. Highly recommend and hope to return! Thank you Mark for sharing your home with us!

Wonder 5 days in the sun.

We had a wonderful stay. The manager took care of our driver to and from the airport without any issues. The manager arrange a golf cart for us and also an in house dinner that was wonderful. Our cook was amazing and very accommodating. The music from the party life in town didn't bother us at all. It was fun. The house felt very safe and we didn't worry about a thing. The only improvement or request we would put in was about the swimming pool which we planned to spend allot of time in. The pool itself needs a little care. Some of the tiles have come off and it was a tad murky. We didn't complain or they might have tried to fix the water. We didn't want to leave the pool for them to fix it. We also would have appreciated a couple of rafts for soaking up the sun on. All in all it didn't take away from our enjoyment and we would recommend it to others. We gave it 5 stars all the way around.

Fabulous time!

We just loved our week at Casa Sonadora! Everything about the house was just as described, or even better. The house was so comfortable, with lots of space for our group of 10 to spread out (including the teenagers). From the pool to the palapa rooftop deck, we utilized all the space. We loved seeing the iguanas sunning themselves on the tree outside and the kids spent lots of hours in the pool. The location, just up from town, was a bonus (including a great workout getting up the stairs/walkway) and we were able to quickly get down and grab something from the bakery in the morning, or walk through town and head to the beach! We had three private dinners (which we scheduled in advance with Ernesto the house manager) on the upstairs deck as the sun went down, which was not only delicious, but also a treat for our entire group. I would absolutely rent this house again, the communication was excellent, the amenities were better than we anticipated and you can't beat the location and views! Can't wait to come back, we miss the sunsets and margaritas already!

Memorable Sayulita Vacation

Our party of 11 (five adults, four recent high school graduates, and two teens) stayed in Casa Sonadora for three nights and wished we had stayed longer because it was FABULOUS! The house manager, Ernesto was a great communicator and very helpful in arranging private transportation from the PV airport in Chevy Suburbans that included a grocery stop on the way to get supplies. He also had a golf cart delivered and scheduled a chef to come to the house and prepare an authentically delicious meal for us (highly recommended). The property was as advertised in the pics (clean and well maintained) and offered plenty of space for our large group, with the gems being the pool, the rooftop terrace, and the view! The AC was lovely, there were plenty of towels, there was jugged water provided to drink, and although we didn't cook the kitchen was well stocked. There was a daily housekeeper as well as nightly security stationed outside the gate. As far as the town of Sayulita, the location was perfect; just a short 5 min path walk down to the friendly and lively town center. A Five-star vacation!! **Traveller tip: Make sure to come with plenty of cash, as many restaurants and businesses were cash only and unfortunately the bank ran out of money for over 24 hours**

AMAZING home in Sayulita in the PERFECT location!

We totally recommend this amazing home - There were 8 of us (6 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room. Everyone loved the pool and hanging out on the rooftop. The housekeeper came daily which was so nice and we had a Chef (that Ernesto set up) come 3 of the nights and her meals were DELICIOUS. Ernesto was fantastic and responded to our questions immediately though didn't have many as the house was wonderful. It's located close to town...an easy walk or a quick golf cart ride away. We will definitely be back!

Great Place in Sayulita!!!

Our family of 8 (the grandparents, parents and 2 boys) had a super time at Casa Sonadora in Sayulita over the Christmas holidays. Although the house itself is a bit "tired" (it needs some minor maintenance (like bad door locks, broken door jams, missing flooring planks in the tree house, etc), it was extremely clean and well-kept by Daisy, the daily housekeeper and it's location is perfect!!! It's very close to the beaches and a short walk to downtown. I also commend the chef. She made us some amazing dinners! The pool was perfect for the boys. There are good views from all the guest rooms, but from the roof top lounging area, it is spectacular. It's also perfect for watching the stars at night, a dinner meal, or having a party!!! By the way, the music from the Sayulita nightlife was loud and "all night long" but not bad when we closed the doors and windows and turned on the air conditioner. However, it was just holiday reveling and fun. If you want peace and quiet don't go to Sayulita over Christmas or Easter. The mass of people and noise disappears once the holidays are over and Sayulita then returns to being very laid back! All in all, Casa Sonadora is a very nice place!!!!

Beautiful home tucked above the town of Sayulita

Two families recently visited Casa Sonadora and had an amazing stay. The house was big enough to accommodate three children and four adults, with room to spare. The pool was perfect for the younger children who were still learning to swim and the tree house was a special escape for the kiddos. The property manager, house cleaner and chef were all so nice, thorough at their respective duties, and incredibly accommodating. The location is so close to town, as well as the beach. This is a property I would definitely consider returning to.

This place has it all!

Casa Sonadora was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. The home is beautiful, with terra cotta tile floors, big window walls that open up to the pool, and a massive palapa roof deck. We stayed with our family of 4, along with three other couples, and the home met all our needs. The staff was incredible, we had a chef prepare a delicious meal our first night, and the house manager helped with all our needs. Location is amazing. You truly get full beach/ocean views, which seems to be pretty rare in Sayulita, and the house is literally one block from the beach, just a short walk down a landscaped path. Can't recommend this place enough. We will try to stay here again on our next visit!

Amazing Stay in Great Town

This is one of the nicest houses in Sayulita. Huge place, large bedrooms with individual decks and bathrooms and great energy. You are two blocks away from the center of town but still far enough away for some quiet. Great view of the ocean. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling into Sayulita.

Wonderful house in a fantastic location

We really enjoyed our week at Casa Sonadora. The location is excellent. A very short walk to town or the beach. Everything is super accessible from the house. We loved walking down to Yah Yah's for coffees or breakfast most mornings. Highly recommend visiting them. The house was set up very well for our family of mostly adults. Loved the outdoor shower in the second floor master. The pools was a welcome relief for some of the hotter days. Super nice to jump in after walking up from town (it is up a hill). We rented a golf cart for the last couple days and that was fun. Did some exploring on the north side of town, which would be a long walk. Possibly the nicest feature is the top level palapa. We enjoyed sitting up there for afternoon cocktails or just to watch the surfers. We also had masseuses visit one day up there. The hammock was a great siesta spot. We didn't cook at all, but did have the cleaning gal cook some freshly caught fish for us one night. A nice treat. However, the kitchen is very well set up for cooking if that's your thing. With so many great options for food in town, we just didn't see the need to cook. Just some afternoon snack food was all we needed. All in all, a great place to stay.

Beautiful home!

We loved this house! We had 4 adults and 2 teens and everyone had plenty of space to feel comfortable. The pool was lovely and kept very clean and the daily maid service made it feel like a real vacation. We also used a chef for dinner every night that the house manager recommended and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Her food was amazing and made to order! The location was excellent too. We were a short walk to town and far enough away that the morning noise of roosters and trucks couldn’t be heard at all. Once we went to bed it was peace and quiet. We also loved the top floor space with a beautiful ocean view and a hammock. It was a great experience.

Ideal family vacation house!

Love Casa Soñadora! The house is perfectly set-up for families. The downstairs master was perfect for us and 2 kids under 2. Upstairs is great for families with older kids who sleep more independently. Town and the beach are a short walk down a paved pathed. House has incredible views, and helpful staff. The area is quiet at night and feels very safe and secure. The daily maid service, who does laundry, and returns it later that day, made vacation life so nice. May was a great time to visit; the weather wasn't too hot or humid and town was mellow. We would definitely stay here again!
