About this property

House on Tranquil "Gringo Hill"- Casa Paraiso del Pacifico - Central Sayulita

Our two bedroom - three bathroom- house is located above the town of Sayulita on Gringo Hill. This location is a 10 minute walk to the town square and beach - out of the noise and congestion of staying in town or on the beach. Our home has a panoramic view of the ocean from the upper sundeck. It has a pool and large veranda for relaxing and enjoying the cool breezes that Gringo Hill provides. Our home has a large master bedroom with a king sized bed. The master bath has a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi soaking tub. The guest bedroom has a king size bed with a set of bunk beds. This includes a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
There is a guest bathroom off the living room for convenience.
Our home has a completely furnished kitchen with very nice appliances. All dishware, cooking utensils, and accessories are of good quality. In the kitchen, you will find most items you need to cook as big or small as you like. Adjoining the kitchen and living area, there is a breakfast bar for informal meals or just to talk and visit while the cook is in the kitchen. Behind the kitchen, we have a laundry room with both washer and dryer.

Most of our guests, take their meals on the veranda where we have a nice all weather dining table and chairs. The veranda overlooks the swimming pool and gardens. On the veranda, you will find additional seating areas which are great for relaxing. There are also ample chairs for guests to relax and enjoy the views. On property, you will find other seating areas in the gardens for additional peace and privacy.
Our home is managed by Maria Jimenez. Maria is from an old and very respected Sayulita family. She has lived in the pueblo all her life. Maria will meet you at the house and orient you. Maria can also arrange for fishing trips, a cook to come to the house, or a massage on the veranda. Maria knows everyone in the pueblo and is great if you run into a problem or emergency. She can also arrange for surfing lessons, paddle board rentals, or horseback riding excursions. She can also arrange for a golf cart rental if you want to explore Sayulita.
Our home has lots of "Gringo" amenities such as air conditioning, internet, and a small safe in the master. The home is well maintained with nice gardens and palm trees for seclusion. As many of the homes on Gringo Hill have full time residents, we have found this location to be very safe yet private. If you rent a golf cart or have a car, we have a dedicated parking area on property with electricity.

Comfortable and convenient stay

We had a fantastic stay. John’s Casa was very comfortable very clean at all of the amenities we needed and was very conveniently located. Just a five minute walk up the hill… Staying here made our time in Sayulita a dream… Thank you, John and Maria for taking such good care of us

Fantastic Property!

The property was amazing. Our 3 boys ages 16, 14, and 12 loved the pool and the home had great sleeping arrangements for them. The location was perfect for our family. An easy walk for the beach and to get to the downtown restaurants and street food. We made the walk 3-4 times per day during our week in Sayulita. John was easy to communicate with and Maria was a great resource during our stay.

Sr. Gals in Sayulita

This was an incredible property. Everything was beyond our expectations. The house was very clean and the art work was so beautiful. Maria was helpful with our transportation from the airport. Having a golf cart in Sayulita is a must and Maria had one waiting for us upon our arrival. We will definitely book this property again.

Absolutely fantastic stay!

We were beyond thrilled with our stay at Casa Paraiso del Pacifico! John was very helpful before our trip in providing detailed information about the house and Sayulita. He also helped us arrange transportation to and from the airport, as well as a golf cart rental. The location of the house is superb! It is right up the hill from the main plaza so it is super easy to enjoy the all the liveliness of town and then head up the hill for quiet, peaceful relaxation. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with tropical plants and the house has authentic Mexican decor. The house was well provisioned. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The views from the 2nd floor and roof top patios were exquisite. We felt so fortunate to be able to stay here! Thank you John for sharing your incredible home with us :)

Perfectly Perfect

From the start of the rental you’re introduced to Maria who cares for the property and she sets up your weekend ahead of time or during your stay from transport to and from the airport to fishing, rentals, personal chefs, whatever ya need! The house is very clean with a good size plunge pool for those hot afternoons or early morning wake ups. You are above Sayulita so it’s quiet! You’re also exposed to the cooling breeze that comes up the hill. Wonderful views! The street is beautiful and lush. I can’t wait to stay again! An anniversary for the books :)

I wish it was my house

From beginning to the end, the owner John and the local property manager Maria satisfied all of our questions, wants and needs. Maria helped book a fishing trip and snorkeling for my family. The house is beautiful, well maintained and was very clean upon arrival. I think the only thing missing was a TV in the master bedroom. After a long day at the beach, and the kids are asleep, it would have been nice to watch a movie with my wife from the comfort of the bedroom. The town and beach are a short walk down the hill. Many people rent golf carts, we preferred to walk. If you have never driven in this area, I highly recommend renting a SUV or truck with higher ground clearance. We went down many roads that grinded and scraped the bottom of our Nissan rental car. We would definitely rent this home again in the future. A wonderful home and experience. Thank you.

Roomy Spot for a Family

Highlights: Maria--the house manager is wonderful. She is so kind, makes herself as available as you need, and has a deep knowledge of Sayulita. There is plenty of room for a family especially for a longer stay. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy various activities together or privately. The pool area looks shady in the online photos but got plenty of sun throughout the day to enjoy sunbathing poolside even in the winter months. The garden areas are beautifully maintained and gorgeous. The house has a lived-in family vibe--not too precious or designer-y with sturdy furniture and a handful of traditional pieces like the four-poster bed and the bedroom wardrobe. Some items are quite dated. The views are stunning and it is so close to town--walking distance from everywhere. What to know: The kitchen is well appointed with everything you will need if you like to cook. Pans are older teflon and most of the items are somewhat flimsy and new-ish or fragile from wear, again slightly dated. Filtered water is provided and the supply is refreshed weekly. Nights in Sayulita can be LOUD! I doubt it matters where you stay. Pack earplugs! Minisplit units upstairs and down are available if you need them (we did not) but make the space easy to cool. The living room can definitely accommodate five people or even six but the seating is probably only comfortable for longer stretches for about three of those people.The neighbors are great. The house was perfect for our longer stay.

Amazing Sayulita Stay

5 stars all the way! The Villa was beautiful, spacious and very well equipped and the private pool was a treat. The town of Sayulita was amazing, so friendly, great food and beautiful little boutiques everywhere. The beach was great to walk every day and we were impressed with how clean it was. We will definitely be back, thank you John for giving us the opportunity to discover your beautiful home and town.

Great location! Beautiful home!

This amazing house is in the perfect location, just a short walk up the hill from town. Our family did not use a golf cart and the walk up the hill was a nice way to end the day and made the cold beer taste even better when we got "home". What made this trip more memorable was the support and care of John (home owner) and Maria (house manager). From the pickup at the airport to the suggestions of activities, restaurants and gym, we felt we had our own private concierge. Communication with John and Maria was prompt and very helpful. Do not hesitate to book this property! You will not be disappointed!

Loved Every Minute! A True Gem!

I cannot say enough about our experience at John and Molly's little slice of heaven!! We wanted to find the perfect spot for our two families to experience Mexico, in a relaxing setting...and we found it!! Everyone loved the location (the perfect distance, just a short walk up, from the adorable town of Sayulita) and the comforts of home provided by the amazing hosts and local team of helpers. From the moment we arrived at the airport, John had everything arranged for us- airport transfer, stop at the grocery, golf cart delivery. He was the most kind and thorough host I've had the pleasure of working with...and, we've traveled a lot. We felt so cozy and safe at the house, with all of the modern amenities and comfy beds. The many outdoor spaces offered plenty of room to spread out and relax. The house is decorated with impeccable taste in art and full of beautiful ,thoughtful details. The layout worked well for our group, with bedrooms w/ bathrooms on two separate levels. We loved walking down the little cobblestone lane in the mornings to get coffee at one of the many great spots, followed by a stroll on the beach and a little shopping at the many stands on our way back "home". The kids spent countless hours in the pool and we prepared several meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The newer washer and drier were appreciated! I could go on and on, but in a nutshell, look no further! This is truly the perfect spot to unwind, get a taste of culture, and enjoy the magic of Sayulita! Thank you so much, John and Molly for sharing you gorgeous home with our families! We're already dreaming of returning...

We loved John’s place! Everything was perfect! We loved all the cozy little places to sit and enjoy within the place. By the pool or the numerous different decks. We actually enjoyed the little hike up and down the hill into town and to the beach. We would definitely recommend as a nice quiet place for families, but still close to the bustling town and beach.

The other reviews are for real. This place is amazing: quiet location with beautiful amenities, and a super quick walk to the downtown festivities and lovely beach. I would love to stay here again. Our crew felt so lucky to live there for a short while.

We had such a great stay at the Trice family home. You can immediately tell that that the attention to detail has been honed over the years to cover a lot of potential issues. The location is perfect. Just up the hill from the town sqaure and is an under ten minute walk. The weather was perfect and we loved sitting on the various decks. We would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by John Trice

Host profile image
I have traveled to this part of Mexico since 1969. As a young person, I surfed most of the Mexican Coastline from San Blas to the Guatemalan Boarder. My wife and I are still avid surfers and love Sayulita for its variety of waves.

Why they chose this property

When our son was 10 years old, I wanted to take him back to where his Mom and I had surfed as teenagers and he fell in love with Sayulita. Many of the kids he surfed with are still his friends to this day.

We choose Sayulita because if is close to a major city - Puerto Vallarta with all the creature comforts - but far enough out of the tourist zones to be a quiet family destination. This area of Mexico has be very safe for many years, which was a concern for us as we looked for a home. Sayulita is still very safe and we enjoy surfing there when we can. Our son spent many summers there with our house manager Maria Jimenez and her family and still loves to get away to Sayulita with his family. We have all gotten into Paddle Boarding in the surf, so Sayulita is one of our favorite places to enjoy our new challenge.
