About this property

Casa Barefoot

Casa Barefoot is a private two-bedroom home located quite section of Gringo Hill that is only an eight-minute walk to Sayulita’s center plaza, and only two more minutes to the main beach. The property provides glorious views of the Sayulita jungle, Monkey Mountain, and sunsets, but nothing beats a sunset on the beach.

Walk directly out of your bedroom, the kitchen, or living room to the casa’s spectacular large pool that boasts a shallow “splash zone” for kids of all ages.

The master bedroom is well appointed with a luxurious king-sized bed featuring Egyptian cotton sheets, a handmade Oaxacan bedspread, and fabulous pillows. Two sets of hand-crafted French doors open to the pool and a small palapa covered veranda. The space is air conditioned, and provides ample closet space, and a secure lock box. The Master Bathroom features his and her sinks atop gorgeous Parota wood counter tops and a beautiful custom made stone walk-in shower with rain head.

The second bedroom provides a queen bed, as well as a loft area with a queen-sized bed for the adventurous sleeper. It has a private bathroom with a stunning walk-in rock shower and rain head. The space is air conditioned and has a ceiling fan for when only a soft breeze is needed.

The kitchen that is open to the living room area, is fully equipped with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, a six-burner gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, air fryer, and all everything else you would possibly need to enjoy a self-made meal or local carry out. The dining table can seat up to six, and the kitchen bar has seating for four.

The living room is super comfortable with two built-in couches that can serve as twin beds, a cocktail table, chairs, and a smart TV for this who need to be “entertained”.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, the pool patio is perfect for soaking up the sun, gazing at the stars, or simply whiling away the lazy days under the shade of the pergola. The property is tastefully landscaped with tropical foliage and fruit trees, and you are certain to see a few iguanas checking you out. We have a delightful outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach or showering under the night sky bright with stars. All good!

Dreams do come true

My family and I had such a wonderful stay at Barefoot Casa. It was very clean and well organized. We felt right at home. The beds were supper-dupper comfy, the showers were wonderful and spacious and the host spared no expense with high quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The layout of the Casa is one-of-a-kind with all rooms opening up to the most amazing little bean sized pool. The pool was the best feature. Perfect for all uses from floating, to playing and even our little 10 month old had her own kiddy pool. Great place to stay. We walked to town frequently in about 6-10 mins. The steep driveway to the Casa is just that, steep. Take it slow. We highly recommend this as your next stay in the great lively town of Sayluita!

Great Spot

Very comfortable house, it had cool finishes like wall mounted night stands, custom vanities, sleeping loft and ladder, etc. Kitchen was fully functional with a small but well stocked grocery market very close to the house. The outdoor area and pool was private and great to hangout in. There was a strong handrail over the steps which helped me tremendously on my crutches. AC & WIFI worked great.It was perfect, I would stay there again for sure.

Fabulous house Fabulous location

Loved our stay at Casa Barefoot, its location gives it an in the jungle feel yet it’s less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of Sayulita. Jeff and Cindy communicated with us at every step of the way and were the perfect hosts. Their recommendations were spot on from the taxi service to the surf hire. We loved the sanctuary of the pool, perfect for relaxing away from the crowds. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks. The power went out one night and the house manager had us stay at another place for the night. Power was only outon our street. It was comfortable and beautiful.We never wanted to leave.

Barefoot rocks

The Barefoot House was exactly like the photos depict and was super clean. Everything worked well and the place is well designed, bringing the outside in. We spent a lot of time working poolside, what a treat. We have stayed at numerous places in Sayulita and this one was one of the best.

Best Ten Days Ever

The place was perfect for us 4 older women. Very clean. Pool was wonderful. Only spend one day at the beach because we had the pool all to ourselves right out our front door.. We walked to town everyday. The first day we had to find the best way there but after that was a short 10 minute walk. Cab fair back was only $5.00. It’s a very steep hill coming back but we got to where that was an easy walk also.. Maid service every couple of days and a gentleman every 3 or so days cleaned the pool.. I would highly recommend the Barefoot House! We plan to back again!!

Relaxed

Barefoot House was a perfect place for 2 couples. The pool area is peaceful and the house has just enough room. The location is great - quick trip to the colorful and bustling town (you can do that by foot) or the beaches (definitely rent the golf cart). Dave and company were responsive to all our questions and needs.

Probably the best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at!

This was the best experience we have ever had. The host was amazing and communicative, the unit was amazing, and perfect for our family. The only thing we missed was a washer and dryer, but it didn’t matter…it was absolutely lovely.

Beautiful pool and patio

Overall we had a really lovely visit here. The house is as described: wonderful pool and patio area. Cleaning staff and house management are excellent. Very comfy place to relax. Few caveats to know: the house is up on a fairly steep hill, so it’s a good workout going from the beach up to the house. If that’s not your thing, you can rent a golf cart. At nights, it can be very loud (roosters, dogs barking, bars playing mariachi music until 3am) so bring ear plugs. This is true throughout Sayulita, not just here. Sayulita septic system is delicate so you can’t flush toilet paper. All wipes have to go in the trash next to the toilet. Not sure if this is true of all rentals in Sayulita or specific to one’s high up on the hill.

Beautiful place!

The property has a great layout and is beautifully decorated. Kitchen is well equipped. They have thought of every detail! It is about a 10 minute walk down a quiet winding street to get to downtown (probably longer on the way home as its a up a hill -- hence the great views!). You can also rent the hosts golf cart if you choose. We had a great time and will plan to stay longer the next time we visit Sayulita.

Awesome place

Everything was really great. Cleaning people, pool people Gardners all were wonderful. Only small detail would be the addition of a dresser for clothes in the smaller bedroom. Again just a very small suggestion. Also the town is a lot of fun and restaurants are super. Definitely would recommend. We will be back!

Great house and location!

We booked this property for a wedding and it was such a great location that was very quiet. As many mention, the driveway and hills are steep so I highly recommend getting a golf cart which makes it extremely easy to get to the center of town. We had a 4 month old with us so we didn't attempt to walk at all, but it would be quite a workout. The bedrooms are on opposite ends which is nice and everything was clean. The pool was also nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again!

Another great stay in Sayulita!

This house is perfect for 2 couples or a small family. The bedrooms are separated by the living room and kitchen for maximum privacy. The pool was the highlight, we were in it everyday/night. We had jungle views, no ocean views. The plaza is walking distance but we also rented a golf cart.

What a wonderful spot. Clean, comfortable and quiet enough, this was just what I was looking for. Very hard to leave. The hills up and down are steep if you rent a car, but more than worth it for the views and airflow.

Sweet casa and pool—with a couple of caveats

This lovely casa is beautifully designed and we had a very nice ten days. The recommended airport transfer are brothers who were both very friendly, excellent English skills, and helped move luggage from car to house. As the owner says in Welcome Information, the driveway is very steep and very dark at night. My wife and I are in our sixties and it was doable, but challenging. The security light on the driveway was broken until our last day. The master bedroom is nice size and has plenty of storage and a very nice bathroom. The 2nd bedroom is much smaller, which we were surprised by. We had a second couple join us for a week, and were fine with the size. It would ideal for a family with children. A double and a loft double too. The walk to town is fairly steep as well, about ten minutes on cobblestone roads. Beautiful neighborhood called Gringo Hill. The town is amazing. Old Mexico style. Small restaurants and bars, not as much food variety as other more touristy locations. The mix of surfers, tourists and locals is wonderful especially in the Plaza at night. The beach and town walking venders are pervasive. Learn “No, gracias” Overall we loved Sayulita but will probably stay in town our next visit. The Barefoot House pool is lovely, and we’re sure once they repair the solar heating pipes the water will be much warmer.

Amazing Adventure!

I cannot say enough about this property. It was perfect for our family of 3, plenty of room, beautiful location with amazing views of the jungle. Perfect for what we wanted. We arrived staying for a week in October and hit a tropical storm. We did not mind since we are used to being there at this time of year. We did rent the Golf Cart which was awesome because we can totally explore this wonderful town and allowed us to go on many adventures. We cannot wait to go back in October!

Great home for a family vacation!

Me, my wife and two teenagers stayed at the Barefoot house for one week in mid-June. Communication with the owner, Heather and Nancy, the property manager were excellent. Nancy helped arrange for a private driver to pick us up a the airport. This is important so as not to have to interact with all the time-share hacks and taxi companies at the airport. Gio was there waiting for us with a sign with our name on it. Easy! The drive to Sayulita was uneventful and he took us right to the house. This is when we realized how steep the driveway was in front of the house. Not a problem if you are in normal physical shape. Those with mobility issues might have a harder time. However, the location was on Gringo Hill, so lots of nice properties up there. A quick ten minute or less walk to the town and beach. The house itself was gorgeous. Two rooms - Master and a second room with a sleeping loft. Perfect for the two teens. Each had its own bathroom. The master bath was so beautiful with natural stone and shower head coming from a bamboo pole. Hot water too. The double sink and towels were a plus. The king sized bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. There are electrical outlets next to the bed to plug in all your cell phone IPad charging cables. The living are was a good size. It had a couch and loveseat and two chairs. The open room included the kitchen counter with stools. So you cook cook or prepare food while talking to people in the living area. We did not cook but made coffee every morning. The kids ate cereal and oatmeal that we bought at Mega on the way to Sayulita. The airconditioning units in all the rooms worked great. Outside, the pool was very inviting. However, if you don't like warm water pools, this may not be to your liking. It was bathtub warm. There were also patio lounges and furniture to hang out on. I drank my coffee every morning on the patio. You almost feel like you are in the middle of a jungle because of all the trees surrounding the patio/pool area. I saw roosters, and iguanas in the jungle area next to the house. Another plus is that the water in the house has been purified and filtered. We drank out of the tap all the time with no issues. The fridge is huge and has an ice/ water dispenser. Lots of DVD's to watch as well, although some are in Spanish. Buy a potable bidet before coming and you wont have any flushing issues.

We LOVE the Barefoot house!

This is one of our favorite vacation spots. Sayulita is so cute and a great place to spend sunny, happy days and having this gorgeous little house to come home to is part of what makes Sayulita special to us. The house is so comfortable yet naturally stylish at the same time. We love he pools and the covered outside seating area, the beds are comfy, the kitchen well set up, the owners gracious and the management company great. Nothing but positive things to say about this little gem. Our 5th time back, the only house we have ever visited more than once.
