About this property

Best Beachfront House in Sayulita: Hacienda right on the sand!

Set amid palm trees at the edge of a white sand beach flecked with gold, stands a gracious Mexican villa with a broad shaded veranda, offering an unobstructed view of the warm Pacific Ocean only steps away.

This grand hacienda is private and peaceful, within walking distance of the center of the charming village of Sayulita. Complete with housekeeper at no additional charge and the option of having a private cook prepare meals at your request for a nominal fee, this is the perfect vacation home for a luxurious but uncomplicated beachside holiday.The villa consists of a main house with 2 master bedrooms, a living room (which can be configured as a 5th bedroom), a dining room and a large fully equipped kitchen, plus a separate 'casita', or guest house, just a few steps across the small courtyard, consisting of 2 non-connected bedrooms.


The waves are often gentle enough for leisurely swims right in front of the villa, because of the smooth sandy bottom in our choice location. However, because on other parts of the beach, the ocean bottom changes to cobblestones, we are fortunate to have within sight of the house, two surf breaks that have some of the best and most consistently ride able waves along Mexico's Pacific Gold Coast. Down the beach, about 7 houses south of our villa, is the fast and exciting, left hand surf break. The more forgiving and fun, right hand break, which was the site of the Mexican National Surf Contest, is only a short stroll beyond that. Sayulita is becoming internationally known as an excellent spot for the experienced surfer as well as an ideal place for those eager to learn.

MASTER BEDROOM #1 features a king-sized bed with a carved stone headboard, an exceptionally spacious bathroom and a fabulous view of the ocean including the surf break. There is built in Air Conditioning in all 4 bedrooms, including this one.

MASTER BEDROOM #2 is even bigger than Master #1. It has its own private entrance, private bathroom and also has the option of being connected by a common door to Master Bedroom #1. It is spacious enough to easily accommodate a king sized bed and two other single beds. It can alternately be provided with 4 single beds. It is light and airy and like all the bedrooms, it has a fabulous view of the ocean. Like all 4 of the bedrooms, Master Bedroom #2 has built in Air Conditioning.

The HIDEAWAY BEDROOM has its own separate entrance, and it normally comes with two single beds which can be configured as a king if requested. It also has a toilet in an alcove of the room behind a shell curtain and a hot water sink “ensuite”. Its window provides a view of the ocean, shaded by mature tropical trees. Because of its situation, this room is ideal for teenagers or others seeking privacy. This bedroom has it's own individually controlled Air conditioning.

The upstairs EAGLES NEST BEDROOM was originally designed as an artists’ studio by the owners. It is accessed by an outdoor stairway covered with hand painted Mexican tiles. The Eagles Nest has unmatched views of the ocean and jungle as it is the only bedroom which has some windows facing in all 4 directions. This spacious, light filled, room comes furnished with a king sized bed to provide a very romantic and very private nest with a sweeping view of the beach and jungle below. The room is ample enough that, as an alternative, it can easily accommodate a king and 2 single beds or 4 single beds if arrangements are made in advance. This art studio/bedroom now contains its own brand new bathroom, with toilet, shower, glass sink and granite countertop. All bedrooms have ceiling fans, plus all 4 bedrooms also have their own, built in, individually controlled Air Conditioning.

BEDROOM #5: Because the spacious living room is a mirror image of Master Bedroom #1, and it too has an exceptionally large bathroom of it’s own, it can be used as 5th Bedroom, with single beds or a king bed, if specifically requested. Unlike the 4 other bedrooms the Sala does not have air conditioning other than the sea breeze gently flowing though it. Fortunately air conditioning is rarely needed during the high season months in any of the bedrooms. Guests generally use the broad shaded veranda as their living room and dining room, because the weather is usually so inviting that everyone wants to spend as much time as possible on the veranda with the beach spread out before them only steps away.

In summary: We are right on the beach, close enough to easily stroll into the center of town yet just far enough to be private quiet and peaceful. We can see both surf breaks from the house and easily walk right to them. We are on the desirable north side of Sayulita, but we don't need to climb any hills and we are still so close to the restaurants and shops and surf breaks, that we don't need to get in car to easily participate in everything the town has to offer. There are many great restaurants in Sayulita and we have a large, fully equipped kitchen, so sometimes we take advantage of the fact that we can hire our sweet and trusted housekeeper Delia to cook us an authentic Mexican meal for a very reasonable price. I am confident that everyone in your group will be delighted if you get to stay at what renters keep telling us is the best beachfront house in Sayulita

Cinematic, charming and rustic beach front house
The location is as incredible as it looks in pictures. It is a wonderful beach front house with loads of charm. It is very rustic, but the drama of the setting is what one really comes for as it looks almost like a film set - very beautiful. Delia, the housekeeper cooked for us every night (extra fee) and it was fantastic. We were a family with grown up children so the layout worked well for us, however it may not suit families with young children as two bedrooms have their own separate entrances. We visited for 9 nights in August and it was very warm and a bit wet but I can imagine the rest of the year it would be heaven.

Beautiful home at the perfect location
Three families stayed here with teenage boys. The house is beautiful! There were things that could have been cleaner, but overall a great home on a perfect beach location.

Perfect Bridal Residence
We booked Casa Aguila to house our Groomsmen and their partners in early May this year. It was the perfect venue for our bridal party to stay. It is very spacious and the fittings go perfectly with the rustic feel. Our friends and family all got nice villas for the week but Casa Aguila was most people's favourite. Delia the housemaid comes almost every day and does a great job. The house is kept very clean. We came just after the new sewage plant came into operation and no-one in our party of 80+ was sick, and honestly we were not careful at all. Thanks for having us Richard hopefully we will be back again soon.

Great vacation!
Richard, Just a note of appreciation for allowing our group of family and friends to enjoy a wonderful week at your beautiful Casa Aguila. If there is a nicer place in Sayulita, we never saw it. The location is absolutely perfect. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches closer to town to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the sun, sand and surf we were looking for, yet close enough to be able to easily enjoy all of the wonderful dining and exploring experiences Sayulita has to offer. You and your family are so fortunate to have discovered what we all regarded as the perfect location. Our experience was seamless from beginning to end. The house itself is so spacious and inviting. We were just able to relax and enjoy each other’s company for a wonderful vacation. Special thanks to Delia who could not have been nicer. She handily took care of anything which required attention. The few meals she prepared were delicious. Your instructions were voluminous, but were also spot on and much appreciated. It is nice to be back again in Santa Barbara, but we will always fondly share together the memories of our special time at Casa Aguila. In a word ‘Gracias’. Clark

Great location, rough accommodations...
First the good...great oceanfront location, just outside of the crowds but walking distance to the town and surf break. The house is large with ample space for our party of 8 to spread out. Fresh water is provided, and all bedrooms have air conditioners. There is a large covered patio with comfortable furniture, and a cobblestone yard to sit in the sun and watch the beach activities below. Now the bad...the accommodations are rough and not to the standards we expected for high season price. Beds and bedding were old and inconsistent, more what you might get in a moderately priced motel, far from “heavenly”. The house is dusty, with lots of ledges and chandeliers with dust and cobwebs. Floors are swept regularly, but anything above 5 feet hasn’t been touched in a long time. Appliances and kitchen supplies are old (30 years?) and limited (no sharp knives) making any food prep a challenge. Showers are barely more than a trickle and hot water is in short supply, when available, making for a less than satisfying experience. The WiFi was not working for half the trip which was frustrating, but to the owners credit, he did his best to fix it. Sayulita is wonderful, and this is an ‘A’ location, and has a lot of potential, but If this were a hotel, and we hadn’t paid upfront, we would have checked out and found something more comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Harkness

Host profile image
For many years I was an editor of motion pictures and television in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. My wife is a fine artist/painter who grew up outside of New York City and spent her summers at their beach house on the Jersey Shore. My wife's family are Canadians who live all across Canada from Montreal to the Canadian Rockies to British Columbia. Our daughter grew up in California, loves to swim and now that we have a house on the beach in Mexico, she became fluent in Spanish and she even learned to surf.

Why they chose this property

Although we have traveled all over the world to places like Bali, Hawaii, Guatemala, Europe, El Salvador, Canada, both coasts of the USA and many places in Mexico, we didn't get to Sayulita until 2000. It was the perfect little fishing village that we had been looking for, where the food is good, the local people are friendly, it's a quick easy flight from the USA, and it was the prettiest curve of beach we had ever seen. By 2001 we went back to buy a vacation home and found this perfect house right on the beach. My wife Sharon loved the classic hacienda style of the house and all the elegant antiques that came with it. My daughter Heather loved the fact that it was right on a soft sand beach where she could swim and play, and I loved that I could see two fabulous surf breaks that I could stroll down the beach to surf, within sight of the house. Less than a year after we purchased it, we loved it so much that we decided to live there full time, which we did for a year and a half to seize the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture, learn Spanish, and really get to enjoy this fabulous spot. We now live in Santa Barbara and visit the warm tropical waters of Sayulita as often as we can, but since we can't be there year round, we like being able to share it's pleasures with others.
