About this property

Large 1&2/BD Private Villas, Ocean Views, Lovely Pool, Ideal Location

Casa Colibri in Sayulita, Nayarit Mexico, is a beautiful, spacious, custom-built villa. The property is a 5 minute easy walk from the heart of the village and the main beach, yet offers a private and peaceful jungle retreat. Casa Colibri captures all the beauty and uniqueness Sayulita has to offer. You will enjoy gorgeous, wave crashing views of the ocean from the casita and pool, lush green mountains beyond, and the surrounding jungle with beautiful hillside homes. Buena Vista, our 2 bedroom casita, has its own private entrance, large terrace with dining table for 6 and chaise lounge chairs, overlooking the bay of Sayulita, the jungle, the pool, and our beautifully landscaped gardens, providing indoor/outdoor living in a lush garden setting.
The casita is very private with a separate walkway from a cobblestone street located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The décor is tasteful and authentic and the casita offers all the amenities to make your vacation easy and comfortable. The 1000 sq ft home surrounds a large terrace overlooking ocean, beach, and jungle views. The two spacious and airy bedrooms have views, comfy king-size beds w pillow top mattresses, 100% cotton linens, and air conditioning. They are situated at opposite ends of the casita, with the living room and kitchen in the center, to optimize privacy. Each bedroom has its own large bathroom. One bedroom has handcrafted french doors opening to the terrace, the other has a sitting area with views of the jungle. One of the bedrooms can also be arranged with two twin beds if desired. We have a housekeeper here 3-4 days a week to keep your casita fresh and tidy. Enjoy tasteful decor collected from our travels in Mexico, colorful tile and art, and comfortable furnishings throughout. The open concept living room/kitchen has French doors to a spacious terrace with a palapa shaded dining table for six and chaise lounge chairs. The pool is just steps from the terrace. The kitchen has a center island w seating and is fully equipped with cookware, appliances, and everything else you need to prepare a fabulous meal. There is a propane bbq on the terrace where you can relax with a margarita, grill your catch of the day, and watch the sunset.
The grounds of Casa Colibri are beautifully landscaped with walkways and terraces winding through an assortment of exotic, fragrant, flowering, tropical plants and trees. We are under a jungle canopy and enjoy a wide variety of exotic birds, iguanas, and butterflies. Enjoy refreshing ocean breezes blowing through the windows and across the patios.
Casa Colibri is situated on a quiet and charming cobblestoned street in a safe residential neighborhood. Our street, which is under a jungle canopy, welcomes visitors with birds chirping, iguanas resting in the trees, and neighbors walking their dogs. It is friendly and inviting. Beautiful flowers and tropical foliage abound. We are just south of town and an easy 5 minute walk to the central plaza and all the shops and restaurants, the main beach and surf break. We are also close to a stunning jungle trail that winds out to Playa los Muertos, a quieter, more remote swimming beach. It is truly an ideal location. Private and quiet yet close to all the action. Our property is walled and gated, and offers a secure, peaceful spot to retreat at the end of your day.
An easy 5 minute scenic stroll down our cobblestone street will take you to the beach and village, where there are awesome restaurants offering simple to gourmet, including American, Asian Fusion, Italian, French, and of course, delicious Mexican and seafood dishes. The shopping in town is fun with unique jewelry, clothing, home décor, art galleries, and handmade items from all over Mexico. Spa treatments abound in several locations in town. And if you want some adventure during you stay there is surfing, fishing, horseback riding, ATVing, jungle hiking, and zip lining, all for which Sayulita is famous.
A stay at Casa Colibri encompasses all Sayulita has to offer at a great value!

Mexican Paradise

The photos don’t do this rental justice. The rooms are spacious and the views from the patio are amazing. It is truly paradise sitting outside the unit. The hosts have made sure everything you need is there. Have used VRBO many times over the years and this is one of my favorite rentals. Thank you!

Sunny Sayulita

Such a beautiful property. Joan and Dave were wonderful hosts and made the process effortless. The casita was beautifully decorated with Mexican tile counters, sinks, and flooring. Very cozy, quiet, just two blocks into town and two more to the beach. The food and activities were amazing to include whale watching riding horses on the beach. Easy walkable town with friendly people everywhere. Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime.

Family Getaway

We were impressed from the moment Joan graciously opened the door for us. Joan showed us the utmost hospitality with giving us a lay of the land, setting up our transportation to/from the airport and offering suggestions for daily activities. The accommodations were even nicer in person than even in the photos, if that’s even possible. We would gladly stay at Joan and Dave’s beautiful place as well as suggest it to family and friends in the future.

First of all, Joan and Dave were absolutely incredible with communication, setting up our shuttle, a golf cart, and providing so many amenities on the property. The property is as stunning as anywhere I have ever stayed. The landscape is beautiful and well maintained. The casita is otherworldly. So picturesque. Thank you for an amazing trip! This was a magical trip for our family and not one we will forget.

Fabulous one week stay!

Had a great one week getaway with my family. Our stay was very comfortable. The suite is spacious and had everything we needed. The casa is nestled up and away from town, so it’s quite quiet. There is a lovely breeze that travels through the space, A/C was not needed! The beds are comfortable, the space was very clean and well taken care of. An easy/quick stroll into town or the beaches. Would recommend this place to others! The hosts were super lovely and very helpful whenever we needed assistance or had a question. Great experience.

Perfect for families!

Our family of 4 with 2 teenage daughters spent the most amazing week here! The property is so comfortable and we felt so at home. The location is perfect to escape the busy spring break traffic and sounds while still being a 5-10 min walk from great restaurants and the beach! We hope to be back!

Heaven in Sayulita

This property is truly a masterpiece of Mexican craftsmanship. From the stacked ocean rocks that are cemented around the walkways and the ocean pebbles that make the outdoor showers, your eyes are constantly pleased with the beauty surrounding you. Even the colors chosen for around the pool area are very pleasing. The view is also an added tropical art. Renters prosper with the perfect selection of Mexican artifacts that Joann has so tastefully surrounded the casas. Staying on this property, will not disappoint.

Birthday Get Away

Our stay at Casa Colibri was outstanding! We stayed at Buena Vista. The accommodations far exceeded our expectations!! Beautiful decor, full ammenities and a lovely cooling pool. Joan and Dave are exceptional hosts! We had a complimentary tour of town and even a pick up in the pouring rain our last night. Sayulita is a lovely town. Great shops, restaurants and beach...there is lot's to see and do. Casa Colibri is situated in a neighborhood that is close to everything. Beautiful view and landscaping. It requires a little uphill walking, but you get use to it. Next time, we will stay longer, rent a golf cart and come in cooler weather. Looking forward to going back. I highly recommend this gem of a rental. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Great place and great owners!

Loved this stay, and the owners were so helpful! They answered all of our inquiries quickly, and even helped us with transportation to and from the airport, renting a golf cart and all of their favorite beaches and restaurants! We were so thankful for their help! And the location was close to town, but still quiet, with views of the hills and ocean from our rooms and patio. Loved the soaker pool after a day at the beach or exploring. As a mom with two teen daughters, we felt safe knowing that the whole place was gated and the owners were steps away, although we still felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family!

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Dave

Host profile image
In 2013 we quit our jobs and sold our home in San Diego to fulfill our dream of retirement in a Mexican seaside village.
We did our research, and decided Sayulita had all the qualities we were looking for. Authentic and quaint, yet lively and fun, a great surf break, stunning natural beauty, and a very friendly, safe community of locals and expats.












































































































































































































Why they chose this property

After quite a few house hunting trips, we narrowed down our search to the south end of Sayulita. We wanted an exceptional home for our guests and ourselves, easy walking distance to town and the beach, with ocean and jungle views. When we toured Casa Colibri, we knew this was home. It is truly a special place that provides all Sayulita has to offer, beautiful views, easy access to town and the beaches, and tasteful, casual comfort.

What makes this property unique

Casa Colibri is located in a lush, colorful, garden setting overlooking Sayulita's beautiful bay. It is on a cobblestone street in a neighborhood that is private and quiet, yet close to all the action at the beach or in town. The décor is tasteful and authentic with all the amenities to make your vacation an exceptional one.
