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. Click to send me an e-mail my wife or I will e-mail back 12 photos
of the house and it's views.
Casa Aguila (Eagle House) 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 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 recent 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.
Our property has very broad beach frontage, right on the sand. We are
situated a good distance from our neighbors on either side and are
fortunate to have a large grove of mature coco palms and manicured
lawn as the neighboring property behind us. The sandy ocean bottom
right in front of our house makes it a safer place to swim than
practically anywhere along the entire beach, except, right in front
of the town restaurants, only a short walk away. When sitting on the
shaded verandah one can feel very private and privileged and serene
and yet the blue Pacific is invitingly close.
The villa consists of a main house with 2 master bedrooms, a living
room, dining room and kitchen, plus a separate "casita", or guest
house, consisting of 2 bedrooms. In the main house, 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.
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.
The detached Guest House, sitting immediately beside the main house,
consists of a charming Hideaway Bedroom downstairs and a very large
Artists Studio/Bedroom upstairs with no interior connection between
the two bedrooms.
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”. It has it's own small
refrigerator. Its window provides an enchanting view of the ocean,
shaded by mature tropical trees. Because of its situation, this room
is ideal for teenagers or others seeking privacy.

The upstairs bedroom was originally designed as an artists’ studio by
the owners. It is accessed by an outdoor stairway covered with hand
painted Mexican tiles. 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 up to 4 single beds if arrangements are made in advance.
Someday, this art studio/bedroom may contain its own bathroom, but
currently, the fortunate persons to enjoy this special room will go
down the outside stairs to use the huge bathroom with shower that is
reserved exclusively for them in the main house. This bathroom is
located inside the main house, beside the living room and it is the
largest bathroom in the villa. The Artists Studio has unmatched views
of the ocean and jungle as it is the only bedroom which has some
windows facing in all 4 directions.
Graced by massive carved stone columns, the broad shady veranda which
extends across the entire front of the main house, offers comfortable
cushioned lounge chairs for putting your feet up as well as
traditional Mexican leather covered dining tables and chairs for
dining alfresco or relaxing with a cool drink while gazing at the
ocean or reading a good book. There are hot showers in all three main
bathrooms plus the small courtyard that serves as an entrance to the
casita, has an outside hot shower with a view of the ocean, to make
it convenient to wash off the beach sand before coming inside.
Large natural wood doors fold back to open up the heart of the villa
to the spectacular view and to welcome in the gentle fresh sea
breeze. High ceilings, throughout the main house, help keep the rooms
cooler, while enhancing its traditional elegant aura. Numerous carved
details add to the homes' warmth and charm. The interior dining room
is accented by a wall of marble and a tall, antique glass fronted,
mahogany bookcase. The grand living room features original artwork
and another large bookcase. Ours is almost certainly the only private
home in Sayulita, available for rental, which has a piano in the
living room for the enjoyment of its guests.
Sayulita is a quaint fishing village located only 40 minutes drive
north of Puerto Vallarta International Airport. It offers good
restaurants, a variety of shops, and a friendly casual atmosphere.
This is the perfect tropical paradise for the vacation of your
dreams.
