Luxurious 4 Bedroom With Pool in Unbeatable Sayulita Location

We came to Sayulita for my husband’s 50th Birthday. 8 people stayed comfortably in the house. The pool area and palapa were great for morning coffee and hosting the birthday dinner for 22 people. Frank put us in touch with Nuri, who prepared a breakfast and dinner for us. The food was top notch, fresh and delicious. The Casa is a close walk to the beach and town, we did not rent a golf cart but it comes in handy for grocery/ice runs. We had a small maintenance problem with a leaking toilet, but Patti and Nic were quick to respond to us and resolved the problem within 1-2 hours. The only complaint I have, and really I think it was a miscommunication, is not knowing it was extra to go to Costco or Mega after getting in. It wasn’t a big deal, but I had made sure my party had the correct USD to pay for transportation, so it was a surprise to find out it was more. My complaint has nothing to do with Frank or Casa Norte and its crew. They are fabulous!!!! My husband, myself and our friends who stayed with us fell in love with Casa Norte and have begun to plan our next trip down!!!

The Upside: The property is really quite nice. It is a secure compound, located conveniently just north of town, easy walking distance. Several very good restaurants right at and around the corner. An uncrowded part of the beach north of the main (and busy) town beach is just a couple blocks from the house. The main house has 3 large bedrooms, two bathrooms, one is en suite. Each bedroom has an individual air conditioner with remote control, which we appreciated, even in December. Well equipped kitchen but we ate all our meals out. Sayulita is no longer the sleepy little village it was years ago. It is a wonderful beehive of activity but retains its charm and lacks the high rise hotels of typical beach resorts. The cuisine has become wonderfully diverse and is still inexpensive. The separate casita, above the storage “garage” is a very nice space. Great pool and landscaped grounds, hammock, outside dining and lounge area under the huge palapa is perfect for your vacation getaway. The Downside: IMPORTANT! Do stay here - it’s a fine property but PLAN YOUR DATES accordingly! The Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe (Día de la Virgin de Guadalupe) is a popular Catholic feast that occurs throughout Mexico during the first 12 days of December, It is a loud celebration with constant concussive blasts from cherry bomb/M80 firecrackers early in the morning and in the evening. It particularly builds in boisterousness from 12/9 to its culmination on 12/12. Blaring music from loudspeakers from a nearby church played ALL NIGHT UNTIL 4:30 AM on the final night, followed by more firecrackers. In addition, there was construction at the property immediately adjacent, and there were power tools going from 7::30 am until 7 or 8 pm. Our stay was during 12/3 - 12/12. We were not aware of the occurrence of the celebration or the construction and wondered why the owners failed to alert us about it. We would certainly have scheduled our stay before or after those dates, as I strongly recommend to any potential renters. It sullied an otherwise wonderful vacation. Dennis offered a reduced rate and a couple comped nights during our NEXT stay but we believed a refund for a couple nights of THIS stay would have been far more appropriate, especially in light of his perhaps unintentional, yet hugely consequential failure to warn us. We will certainly return to Sayulita or perhaps San Pancho (San Francisco’s), a smaller, less busy village just 3 miles up the coast.

Really enjoyed Sayulita and I will definitely visit this beautiful town again.

We had a great time in Sayulita and our stay at Casa Norte was just what we were hoping for! The house was spacious and clean, the kitchen was stocked with all amenities needed for cooking and we were a short walk into town. A few things to note: 1. The houses "living area" is all outside under the palapa. This is normally exactly what we love since the weather is beautiful, but this time the mosquitos really gave us a bad time. You'll need lots of bug spray. 2. We prefer to cook most of our meals while traveling. The BBQ at the house could really use some replacement parts as it's pretty difficult to light without singeing all your arm hair and the cooking grates are really old. We worked around these issues, but they are worth noting for the next renter. The kitchen pots/pans are fantastic though! Kitchen could use another spatula, there is only one. 3. You will be doing daily cleaning of the pool on your own. This was a first for us, as our last stay in Sayulita the house manager came to clean the pool each morning. The pool guy showed every few days, but literally just threw pool chemicals in, flipped a switch and left. 4. The property manager, Gabbi, was very welcoming when we arrived. He gave us a great tour of the home and helped get us settled. After that, he was a bit difficult to reach during our stay. Multiple texts/emails that weren't answered. But then Nick stopped by and it was great to meet him too and he was able to answer all of our remaining questions and was super helpful. I know all renters are different, but we really would have appreciated a "drop in" to check up on things maybe mid-week. Overall, it was a great stay at a very comfortable home. Thank you Frank and Mandi for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Casa Norte is even better than the pictures! Our family of four, including two very active boys (9 & 11) were very happy with our choice in places to stay. The pool was bigger than it looked in the pictures, the kitchen has everything we needed, and the rooms were very comfortable. The distance into the main part of town is a short 5 minute walk, and the beach was right across the street. The house is on the north side of the beach which is the best part. Much more peaceful and less crowded. This was important to us because although it was not high season the central part of the beach was very overcrowded and not exactly relaxing. Location was just perfect. Frank was very helpful in setting us up with a ride from the airport, a golf cart, and a catamaran adventure on Ally Cat adventures which I highly recommend. Overall, we were very happy with our stay (if you can handle the humidity in August). The pool was a lifesaver at the end of a long hot day!! The air conditioning was too. ;). Thank you to Frank, Nick, and the rest of the staff!

Casa Norte was perfect for our stay- So close to town and the beach. Frank was very helpful & organized anything & everything we needed to make our stay worry free. Will definitely be returning!

We were two families - 4 adults, 4 kids - staying in Sayulita for the first time. We were so happy when we arrived at Casa Norte. The local property manager, Patty, met us and she was so nice and welcoming. She gave us a tour of the home and told us everything we needed to know for our stay. The property is beautiful. Very well maintained, clean, fairly well stocked, and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom has its own A/C unit plus a fan which was great. What made the house so unique is that all the living areas are outdoors. The dining room, living room, and family room were all under the giant palapa outside. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and be comfortable. There is no TV at Casa Norte which was actually really nice for us. The pool is really warm so the kids were in it all the time. Emma, the housekeeper, came every other day so the house was frequently cleaned. Since you cannot drink the water, bottled water is provided in the house which was a nice touch, although we did also buy a couple flats of water beforehand. Patty told us that the washing machine was not working but they made other arrangements for us so that was not an issue. Sayulita is a very small town so everything was within walking distance. Casa Norte is on the north side of town so we needed to walk to the south side if we wanted to swim in the ocean as the rip and ocean break on the north side is VERY strong...I definitely would not want my kids close to the water there. A comment about the North beach... i have NEVER seen so many beach vendors in my life! We have been to Mexico many times so we are familiar with the locals selling all their wares on the beach, but this was really something. You just get really used to either ignoring them or saying no about 5 times per minute. That said, there was one vendor selling banana bread that his mother had made and it was dynamite! Lol. We rented golf carts one day from the rental shop on the same street as Casa Norte. That was a blast and a great way to get around. We drove them over to Playa de Los Muertos, a small beach just outside of Sayulita. I think we paid about $30US each to keep them for the day. Super fun and convenient. Overall a GREAT stay at Casa Norte.

Loved the home and the Cassita is such an awesome addition! Pool was amazing, everything was well maintained, House was kept clean and landlord/team was so attentive! Great location to beach and town and won’t ever stay anywhere else in a Sayulita!

We had a beautiful extended weekend in Casa Norte. The owners were on top of every detail and the home was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect for our group as we were able to explore the town quickly by foot. Our group felt safe, comfortable and in the end very fortunate to have been able to stay here. Thanks again!

We stayed at Casa Norte May 26-31. My family of 5 had a great time! The house is even better in person. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and used golf carts to get into town. Sayulita is a short ride which we would do several times a day. The town had great restaurants and some fun shopping. We chose not to really cook but the house was well stocked if we had. Our favorite part was relaxing in the pool. My kids loved playing games and floating around. At night we enjoyed the outdoor living area for card games. The owners were always quick to answer any questions and helped with airport transportation and golf carts. Needless to say we will be going back! It’s great for families or a few couples.
