Perfect place to get away!

The photos of the house do not do it justice. The house and its view are stunning. We enjoyed being at the house as much-- if not more than-- being at the beach or in town. A few words of advice to future travelers to this property: (1) coordinate transfer from the airport through Rene, the property manager, rather than hiring private company or taking a cab, and (2) definitely use the golf cart at the house rather than trying to rent your own car or renting a golf cart in town. The house is on a very steep hill with poorly maintained and narrow cobblestone streets, and the house is not easy to find. The golf cart was the most reliable way to get around. I don't think you could get a passenger car without AWD and good clearance safely up or down the hill. Rene and the property owners were very responsive to our questions and made our stay very comfortable. We would love to come back some day.

Extraordinary Sunsets

Our daughter and son-in-law gave birth to our first grandchild recently and we chose Sayulita for an early Christmas getaway. While the water temperature of the infinity pool was a tad cold in early December, this home, with its glorious sunsets and daytime cloud patterns did not disappoint. We spent many hours just watching the birds circle overhead and one fun evening when fireworks lit up the town below. But in addition to a beautiful and well-appointed house, our hosts Rebecca and Tom have thought about the little touches, such as providing a golf cart for rent to make travel to town easy and providing purified bottled water. We either cooked at home each night or ran into town for dinners to go. Life was relaxing and easy. A very memorable vacation.

As good as it looks!

We had a wonderful time in Sayulita. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. The pool was the perfect place to spend our days and evenings. The town itself was rustic and charming. The people were friendly and the food and drinks in town were amazing. Rene was responsive and extremely helpful. We were amazed how clearly you could hear the waves. It just added to the most relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Getaway!

Casa Gardenia was a welcomed oasis from a very busy Sayulita during spring break. Rene was so helpful and responsive to all of our needs, including arranging transportation to and from the airport. The pool was clean and very relaxing and the views from all of the rooms are unbeatable. The drive up and down the steep hill on a golf cart was a bit anxiety producing due to lots of construction vehicles going up and down the one lane road and a golf cart without front brakes. Don’t use Safari Maps app or you will get lost, drop a pin in Google Maps until it becomes familiar. Once we got the hang of the road, it was pretty easy to navigate but we still minimized our trips up and down. If you’re looking for a place to easily go to and from the beach multiple times a day, I’d look for something on flatter ground. If not, this is a perfect place to unwind, spend long hours relaxing in the pool, and enjoying a slower pace of life. Thanks to all at Casa Gardenia!

Stunning view!

We just returned from an eight day stay at this beautiful home. Locate in the hills above Sayulita, Casa Gardenia welcomed us with open arms. As we walked in the front doors, we didn’t stop until we were on the pool deck taking in the amazing view! We highly recommend this to anyone looking for perfect peace! Rene, the property manager arranged transportation for us, which was so helpful. Our driver stopped at the Mega so we could buy groceries. Our one regret was not buying for the entire stay. While there are several small grocery stores in Sayulita loaded with fresh vegetables, fruits, and baked goods, meats were hard to find. Make sure to arrange transportation for local trips to town before you arrive. We were unsuccessful at “calling a taxi” - we called, got a “five minutes” response - no one came. Called back. Got another “five minutes” - again no show. Same result the next night. After the no show taxi, we walked to town. Honestly, we did just fine. Im 63 - just took it slow and enjoyed the view. It is very steep, but absolutely doable. This became our nightly norm - walk to dinner - taxi home (that part was easy, lol)! Working with our hosts was just wonderful. Quick responses, always helpful suggestions. And such a beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Rebecca Smolik

We are commercial real estate professionals who live in Dallas, Texas and have fallen in love with the charm, weather, culture and views that Sayulita has to offer. Someday we hope to retire and spend many months at Casa Gardenia, but until then, we want to share our dream home with others who love the quaint Mexican Village of Sayulita!

Why they chose this property

After owning a condo in Puerto Vallarta, we discovered the authentic charm of Sayulita. We decided we had to become 'locals', so we purchased a piece of land with a stunning view and spent three years building our dream home.

What makes this property unique

Our casa offers a spacious, open floor plan on one level without having to maneuver up and down countless stairs. Each room in the casa provides a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. During the warmer months, you remain very comfortable in our entirely A/C casa. Enjoy unique stairwell access with a five minute walk to the north end of the beach, located right next to Casa Gardenia.
