About this property

Lovely 2 bedroom Jungle Retreat, "Private" Beach Nearby.

Wake up to the sound of the jungle. Bring your binoculars for the wonderful array of exotic birds right off the patio. In this peaceful, secluded and romatic retreat, in an environmentally protected area, you can escape the noise and activity of town. It is just minute's walk (7-10) from it's "own" gorgeous beach and close enough to town for nice walks through fabulous jungle (1.3 miles south of town.)

This is a house with character--a 100 year old Balinese teak house and casita perched above papalillo trees and palms, with a view of Monkey Mountain. The two bedrooms consist of 1 king bed, one queen, and there is a Bali bed in the living room, for a smaller person. The deck overlooking the jungle has two daybeds to relax, read and watch the amazing birds.

Throw open the hand carved shutters to the soothing air of the sea and jungle. On 3+ acres of exoctic, lush land, it is set in a grouping of 5 other like-style houses, all barely visible from each other on cobblestoned roads. A short stroll (7-10 minutes) takes you to a stunning, secluded beach, or walk the jungle road to town for your morning cappucino or noon fish tacos...And when day is done, fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle, the waves.

OUr retreat is actually 2 separate rentable houses; the Main Casa (2 bedroom, full kitchen, huge deck and patio) and the Casita (1 bedroom with deck overlooking jungle, kitchen facilities, #1291071). They can be rented separately or together. THIS LISTING IS JUST FOR THE 2 BEDROOM MAIN HOUSE.

Sayulita is a happening, cobblestoned Mexican fishing town with a friendly, happening zocolo (central plaza) as well as fantastic restaurants and shops. Take yoga , learn Spanish, explore the jungle, surf, snorkel or just relax with a margarita to the sounds of the surf and jungle.

Beautiful Setting
We loved the seclusion of this location. We did get lost trying to follow directions from the airport to Villa Bali. We would have loved access to some cleaning supplies like a broom, mop, cleaners, extra towels. A golf cart rental is a must. Otherwise it was perfect for a relaxing week. We will definitely return.

A perfect jungle bungalow
I loved staying in this hideaway. The property is beautiful and feels well-tended. The host was exceptional! I got updates, entry instructions, maps, and other helpful tips. The furnishings are rustic and comfortable. Water pressure in the showers is a little low, and you will want to pay close attention to the host’s instructions and maps — this place is definitely off the beaten path, and it’s worth burning the few extra calories to get there!

A true jungle experience
This was our third time renting in Sayulita and this place was exactly as described. It was a lot of fun to wake up with the birds in the jungle. One note of caution though, it is not easy access for some people, lots of stairs and hills. Also being in the jungle with an open air house concept you have to be ok with some critters coming and going around. It was all good with us, but maybe not for everyone. You need a car (or a 4 wheel drive gas cart) but the new road is not that bad. I would stay there again. It was very comfortable and really special. Very restful. Beautiful beach. Great communication also.

Pros: It's very private, located up in the jungle with gated entry, but I walked 10mins to private beach and 40mins to town, and loved being in nature & watching/listening to all the different birds. Nicely decorated Bali furnished unique 3bed/2bath home. Big fridge/freezer, complimentary water bottles, cofee and sugar and loved their shampoo. Cons: the sinks needed cleaning, trash left in the little bathroom, used coffee grounds still in coffee pot, the phone wasnt working & property mgr was unaware of it til next day when she came by. Also there was no microwave though the ad said microwave. And I was pretty cold at night, but mgr brought me a small, warm blanket on the 3rd day which helped. Paulina and the groundskeeper Jose were super nice :) The best part for me was relaxing with open windows or on the private deck with warm breeze and fresh ocean air, and being able to walk to the private beach, and I didnt even need bug spray. It was definitely worth coming here.

Lovely-Isolated-Get a Golf Cart!!!
The architecture is beautiful the setting is lovely, however this is NOT a good fit for anyone that is not fit. We loved the noises of the jungle and during our stay would have loved to have a deck of cards or a cribbage board - as there is no TV or a radio and while we were there for 5 days we did not have internet service nor an emergency land line and neither of our two phone plans could place calls. Thankfully we purchased groceries on the way to the house and could make the jungle trail walk, of 30 minutes, into the town to get limited internet reception to call/text the manager to report the lack of internet coverage every day of our 5 day stay. Overall this is a lovely house in a lovely location. Our only complaint is the lack of internet and phone service. We left the property 4 hours ago and are in another VRBO that has internet coverage and just received texts from the “Property Manager” about the lack of internet coverage that he sent us on Tuesday via text when we had no internet (today is Friday). We wish he would have sent someone to the house to deliver the news - lots of individuals were on the grounds, a gardener, someone doing laundry under the house, and the early housekeeper were all there on different days.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Collins

Host profile image
I am an artist living in northern California, and have made a living with my art for over 30 years. I have always been inspired by different and exotic areas of the world. This jungle retreat had been a dream for me for many years. I come to the jungle retreat to write and do my art. I also lead art retreats around the world and have just finished my second novel.

Why they chose this property

I LOVE the jungle with a passion, and real jungle is hard to find. Since I also love Sayulita and visted it for many years prior, when this place opened up it was literally (literally) my dream that came to life. It is thankfully removed from town just enough to get away during those busy times of year, but easy to walk to on a beautiful jungle road. Also, since it is in an enclave of 5 other Balinese houses, you do not feel too "out there" with no one else around.

The beach that it is near feels like our own private beach, and honestly, it is one of the nicest in Sayulita (it is a secret!)

What makes this property unique

Bird watching! If you have ANY desire, this is the place if you get up by oh, say around 8:00-9:00. A birder I know said they saw more birds here in one sitting than any where else they'd been in the world! Prior to owning Jungle Retreat, I would not have considered myself a "birder" but I can probably say now I would.

Also, the quiet. At night you can hear the waves usually, and in the evenings to sit on the comfortable patio with chips and salsa listening to the "guard " of day switching to night you feel like you never need to leave...
