Located in the secure, gated community of Punta del Burro, the villa overlooks one of the most beautiful beaches (with the famous Burros surf break) in Mexico. Situated just 60 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta Airport, 10 minutes from Punta de Mita, 20 minutes from Sayulita, and minutes from La Cruz; this is an an ideal location for enjoying the best that Bay of Banderas has to offer. Surf or relax on the beach...it's perfect.

At Casa Amigos, we try to remove as much of the hassle from traveling as possible. We can coordinate a car service to pick you up at the airport and take you back to the house. We take care of all the grocery shopping before you arrive so that everything is ready and waiting at the house when you get there. Imagine coming home after a long day of travel to an ice cold margarita with your favorite tequila, enjoying chips with fresh guacamole and salsa, and a beautiful sunset off the patio. That is exactly what we provide at Casa Amigos. To top it off, we have a Suburban to rent from the house ...hassle free and affordable. Not comfortable driving in Mexico? We can coordinate rides for you!

The home is very spacious and features seven bedrooms and six baths....five of which are king suites. It is a tri-level home with stairs. There is a private, state-of-the-art heated saltwater pool for your enjoyment and plenty of room to relax outside enjoying the weather and the view. The staff will work to make sure your stay at Casa Amigos goes off without a hitch. They will help out around the house and can serve you and your guests delicious meals Monday through Saturday, if you choose.

There are a variety of wonderful restaurants, markets, and fabulous beaches within a short drive if you feel like exploring. We have several Tommy Bahama backpack-style beach chairs and umbrellas that you can bring to and from the many beautiful beaches in the area or set them up and watch the surfers on the beach just below the house.

Bring the whole family! Casa Amigos is a great place for families. The house is equipped with two Pack n' Plays as well as 2 car seats, a high chair, and a table booster seat. Whether you want to enjoy the salt water pool, come to ride the epic waves, or relax and play with the kids on our private beach, Casa Amigos is a magical place.

Absolutely amazing!

We just returned from our stay at casa amigos and it was truly amazing. The house and pool themselves are fantastic but what truly makes this place special is the staff. When we arrived, they had snacks and margaritas waiting for us. They were able to answer any and all questions we had about the property, the area, restaurants, etc. The breakfasts and dinners they cooked for us were excellent. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We can’t wait to return!

Amazing Stay

We had the best time as a group staying at Casa Amigos. The staff were amazing and helped us with everything we could have ever needed. We were a group with adults, teenagers, toddlers and a 5 month old. Everyone had the best time and the home was gorgeous. We slept amazingly well as the beds were very comfortable. We saw probably 100 whales during our stay right in front of the house!

Amazing Stay!

We stayed the week of Thanksgiving with extended family. The house was amazing and the staff wonderful. The house has an amazing view and very comfortable pool area. We loved spending time on the deck and by the pool. The beach was a very short walk away and absolutely beautiful. We were often the only ones on the beach. The house is big and had plenty of room for all of us. We ate many dinners prepared by the staff and all of them were delicious. We look forward to returning sometime very soon!

Best Vacation!

We can't say enough wonderful things about this vacation home and staff. Nicole was so helpful with planning our stay prior to our trip, and then Bryan and the staff as Casa Amigos made sure that we didn't lift a finger the whole stay! They anticipated our every need, and the food, drinks, smoothies they prepared were absolutely amazing. A true vacation even for the moms in the group :). Can't say enough wonderful things about this special home and people. Thanks for having us!

Perfect for our family get together.

Celebrating our parents 50th anniversary with four families with children ranging 17 years to 16 months. Each of our four families had our own areas. Staff were exceptional. House is better than we expected from the pictures. Short walk to a beautiful quiet beach for bogey boarding. Meals were great by the staff and they made everything very easy for some of the families first visits to Mexico. We highly recommend and will be back.

Great amazing house

We stayed here in July 2016, house is beautiful. Rosa and Gilnerto are amazing. The main house doesn't have air conditioning but the bedrooms do, which was fine. Rosa is an amazing cook and makes the best guacamole and shrimp ceviche.

Mother/Daughter Senior Celebration

We rented the house to celebrate 6 recently graduated HS girls and their moms who have all been friends for over 10+ years. The staff was AMAZING!!! Ivan, Kenya and Guadalupe made us feel pampered, relaxed and comfortable. The friendliness and professionalism of everyone we dealt with during our rental experience made the trip even more stress free than expected. I can’t recommend Casa Amigos enough!!!

Casa Amigos won't disappoint!

We had 10 in our group and opted to rent a sprinter van from the airport instead of using the Suburban. This was an expected extra cost and very comfortable. The staff welcomed us and showed us around the property. While settling in, the staff served us guacamole, chips, salsa and quesadillas which was delicious and an indication of cuisine to come! Throughout the week we enjoyed the property, pool, beach, hearing the birds and overall relaxing. The meals were excellent and service couldn't have been better. We all enjoyed our time at Casa Amigos and wish the new owners continued success and we look forward to our return trip in the future!

Great Villa and Staff

Our family gathered for a week at Casa de Amigos in late February/early March for a get together before spreading to the four corners of the world. Gilberto & Rosa are exceptional hosts and did a great job of taking care of us. The house was great with lots of room and beds. We had 5 kids with us and the accommodations worked quite well. The whale watching from the balcony was a highlight also. The kids enjoyed building sand castles on the beach which is less that a minute walk. We used the Suburban to travel over to Sayulita to eat and explore. I would recommend that trip for a change of pace and some local culture & cuisine. This rental exceeded all of our expectations and we will be back on our next PV excursion.

Excellent vacation

This was the perfect location for our family get together. The open concept living space made it easy to keep an eye on the children. The home was spotless and the daily cleaning staff were great. Laundry was picked up each morning and dropped off at the bedrooms mid day. The pool was clean and warm and the shade provided allowed much needed relief from the sun. I can’t say enough about the staff. Each and every one of them go above and beyond to ensure guests are enjoying their vacation. Brayan and Dany cooked the most amazing dinners; we all enjoyed them immensely. Absolutely everything about this house and staff was perfect. A special shout out to Brayan who did special runs and groceries for our group. He was instrumental in making everything come together! Thank you all.

Fantastic week

Our family of three spent a week at Casa de Amigos to celebrate a birthday. The house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The beach was amazing and deserted most of the time. The house is not beachfront but it is a 30 sec walk down, and as the house is on a hill, you have amazing views of the bay and spectacular sunsets. The best part of the trip for us was Rosa and Gilberto. Rosa made us amazing meals and Gilberto looked after everything else. They are such amazing friendly people and work so hard to make your stay fantastic. The pool was a little cool for us, but it was not super hot when we visited. The owner Jamie was excellent to deal with. Having the suburban to drive, and Gilberto picking us up and dropping us off at the airport made the trip even better! We hope to return someday with a bigger group!

Quiet, relaxing stay

We had a great time at Casa Amigos. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Gilberto and Rosa take wonderful care of their guests, from airport transfers to delicious meals and drinks, meticulous property care and great friendliness. Rosa can even be roped into a tequila shot with the group. The pool is wonderful and has a bit of shade, which is so nice for hot afternoons. We enjoyed both local towns of Punta Mita and Sayulita. Both are an easy drive in the included suburban. The beach in front of the house is beautiful, but quite steep. We didn't end up spending much time there. The only improvements I could imagine would be central air- the bedrooms are air conditioned, but not the living area, and it does get hot, and some non-slip deck treatment. These are such small issues and do not detract from the overall experience in any way. I don't know how I'll ever go back to vacationing without a chef again!

Casa de Amigos is amazing!

Casa de Amigos could not have been more perfect for our family Christmas in Mexico. The grounds and setting overlooking Banderos Bay were absolutely gorgeous! Whales were spotted almost every morning from the various verandas. The spacious home provided respite for our crew after busy days enjoying the beach and the non-stop fun in the pool. The layout of the bedrooms was ideal with ocean sounds for all and privacy for those who like to sleep in. Rosa and Gilberto’s hospitality and delicious cuisine spoiled us all! The privacy and cleanliness of the beach was appreciated by our beach combers, boogie boarders, and surfers. Baby turtle hatching was a highlight for all ages. After spending many hours on the beach, we then ended the afternoons around the pool. The multiple patios included areas for those who need shade, those who want to sun, or those who want a quiet spot to read. And then … Gilberto would appear with freshly made guacamole and homemade margaritas! Arriving back to reality was brutal after such an amazing experience. Our sincere thank you to Jamie and family for sharing such a special place and providing lifetime memories for our crew! Emily and family

Incredible week at Casa de Amigos

Wow! Just returned from a week at Casa de Amigos with family and can’t say enough good things about our experience. The house is stunning and so comfortable – well designed, spacious and perfect for a group – we had 11 adults and 1 toddler and there was plenty of room for everyone. The views from the house are beautiful as you overlook a nearly private beach, which is an extremely short walk away. We enjoyed meals on the deck, margaritas pool side and epic ping pong battles. The suburban was also super helpful for daytime adventures. The highlight of the whole experience; however, was having Rosa and Gilberto as our hosts. They are simply the best. Rosa’s cooking was out of this world. Her chile relleno was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. She also does an incredible chicken mole and Gilberto was a master at the grill (whole fish, mahi, mahi, shrimp, carnitas, you name it) and makes killer margaritas and pina coladas. They even set up a wonderful bonfire on the beach with s’mores for Christmas Eve. We truly were spoiled during our time there. Jamie, the owner was also terrific during the planning of the trip – super responsive and helpful as we figured out all the details for our large group. If you’re thinking about a group trip, you should definitely go to Casa de Amigos – it was one of the best group trips we’ve ever taken. We definitely hope to return.

Wonderful week at a beautiful quiet beach

We spent a week at Punta del Burro after Christmas. The weather was exceptional. The house is not right on the beach, but you can still hear the sound of the waves and feel the ocean breezes. The beach itself is perfect...clean, very few people, lovely white sand and good swimming. None of us minded the walk up the stairs from the beach to the house. The house is equipped with umbrellas and comfy beach chairs, which we used every day! Rosa and Gilberto prepared and served us two fantastic meals a day. Such exceptional cuisine! Not having to cook or shop made for a very relaxing time. We were a party of five couples and one toddler. We all slept comfortably. No one else in the house heard our toddler wake up in the middle of the night! The house is not perfect for toddlers because the railings of the porches are low, but there were ten adults to watch him and so it wasn't an issue. It was a relief, after a long day of travel, to have Gilberto waiting for us at the airport and made for a much easier vacation not to have to rent a car. We took one short day trip into Sayulita and frankly couldn't wait to get back to our house and our beach. After that excursion, we stayed put in this very spacious, comfortable home. We would like to return and spend another week with Rosa and Gilberto!

First Class All the Way!

We loved our stay at Casa Amigos. We stayed a week in March with 12 family members ranging in age from 10 months old to 92 years old and we all had an amazing time. The location was top notch with incredible views of humpback whales swimming by daily, a short walk to the nearly private pristine beach, guard gated security, and short drives to punta de mita and sayilita. The house was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and cleaned daily. Wifi was fast, A/C worked great, a bottled water dispenser kept us from getting sick, and the big screen TV allowed us to watch March Madness. The gardens were lovely, constantly groomed and had native birds and iguanas. The warmed salt water pool had lots of umbrellas, shaded lounge chair areas, pool toys and fresh towels. Nicole the house manager answered all my questions in advance of the trip. Ivan the concierge arranged for a whale watch/snorkel excursion from punta de mita, and massages at the house. Both were exceptional and affordably priced. The staff was amazing. Helpful, skilled and personable. We opted for the pre-arrival groceries, breakfast and dinner daily and of course margaritas with snacks. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and served. Our granddaughter got special treatment on her birthday which included getting her hair braided, a “Frozen” pool floatie and a chocolate cake with her name on it. Best of all, the adults never had to lift a finger and enjoyed a true vacation!

An amazing place. Can't wait to return.

We have taken many trips and we have taken many trips to verious parts of Mexico. This was our favorite trip. I read the reviews and saw all the comments about Rosa and Gilberto, but their hospitality, gentle nature and great food can't be overstated. The house is as large as I had hoped, the pictures are accurate but of course they don't give you the accurate ambiance, or the smell and sounds of the ocean, the chirping of birds or the scenes of whales breaching and dolphins playing, from the deck. The house is very open and airy and clean. We were getting ready to leave and witnessed the crew cleaning every nook and cranny for the next guests. Very impressive. The saltwater pool is perfect. Good size for all 6 of us. Great shady places to take a siesta if you choose to. The private beach is very close. Down some steps and just a couple of hundred feet away. We walked the beach every day and there are very few people on it. There are no vendors. We witnessed turtle hatchlings running into the ocean! It was amazing! Rosa's cooking made it very difficult to want to leave the house. She made almost all of our meals but there are certainly good places to eat in Punta di Mita which is very close. Jamie, the owner/host was incredibly responsive to the many emails and texts I sent before and during our stay. And he usually responds in just a few minutes. We have yet to return to the same vacation spot twice, but we will be planning our next trip back here within the next few weeks. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. There is plenty of room for more. Highly recommended. Amazing vacation

Not enought stars to say how great this villa is!

The word of the day is NO PROBLEM!!!! From the moment we arrived everything was seamless for our party of 8 everything was as Gilberto woudl say " NO PROBLEM" Gilberto met us at the airport in the suburban and drove us to the villa. The villa is stunning the photos do not do it justice. The rooms are large and spaced out for privacy. Everything was maintained perfectly. The pool is a perfect size. The beach was just down a few steps and the beach is very quiet. The undertow was strong the week we were there so other than quick dips or walks we mostly stayed in the pool. The villa was in a great location very SAFE and easy to access. We were able to take the suburban and do day trips to the little towns. Rosa's cooking was fabulous. We cant say enough about her sauces and traditional food. Each day we were woken with fresh orange juice and the smell of her maple pancakes. Remember to bring $ with you as Rosa and Gilberto pay for the supplies personally so ensure you pay them right away so they are not out of pocket. Each day the villa was cleaned and it was so impressive how they were there but not "there" it was magic how you would think something and Gilberto would just appear "no problem" he would say and he would make it so. They are such wonderful people. We did use our translator app a few times to help us with words that stumped them or us but all in all it was the perfect vacation. Unfortunately I became ill on the vacation and required a hospital I can not say enough about the excellent care I received. There is also a clinic very close to the villa. Although you hope you never need these amenities it is wonderful to have access to such great care close to the villa. The sunsets at the villa were SPECTACULAR! Nothing better than enjoying Gilberto's home made Margarettas (Best we have had ever) watching the sunset. Another note we have a child wish severe allergies and again it was "no problem" and she was made special separate meals. We will 100% be back.

A wonderful and complete stay at Casa de Amigos

As frequent users of VRBO, our family regularly seeks out rental properties that are beautiful, functional and well-located. However, the important story of our recent Casa de Amigos vacation was the complete package of essential amenities (not just nice-to-haves). Starting with the house and location, Casa de Amigos is set in the safe, idyllic location of Punta del Burro - a picturesque gate-secured enclave of homes just south of Punta de Mita. The views, beach and surrounding properties are gorgeous and tranquil. The private pool is a key feature, and the layout and spaciousness of the house was enjoyed by all 8 of our guests (including children). The complete story of our trip is in all the amenities that made this trip so special: • Airport and local transportation – We didn’t have the time, energy or patience to deal with all the hassles of securing and managing our transportation during the trip. Having Gilberto at the ready for airport runs and the included SUV for day trips were critical. We saved money and spent more time enjoying ourselves. • Gilberto and Rosa – They are Casa de Amigos' kind, accommodating and skilled hosts. From food and drink, maintenance/repairs, planning, grocery runs, bon fires, helpful suggestions, etc., there are no greater resources and friends to a Casa de Amigos visitor than Gilberto and Rosa. Problems are no problem literally and figuratively. After reflecting on our trip, I can’t even imagine trying to rent a car, plan our meals, make a grocery list, drive around to find a grocery store, buy the groceries, drive back to the house and then actually cook a somewhat decent meal. Bless them both. • Engaged, knowledgeable owners – No matter the question or time of day, Jamie is at the ready with helpful guidance and quick solutions. It’s reassuring, especially if you are new to a country, to get the answers you need in a timely fashion. On our last night of vacation, we met two other Punta del Burro house renters on the beach and shared some of our experiences. Our group talked about how we loved the location, house, transportation, food and drinks, Gilberto, Rosa and Jamie. Because the other renters only rented a house, you could see the “we didn’t make the right decision” look on their faces. Our group was happy that our Casa de Amigos vacation was both wonderful and complete.
