Casa Tranquila is the upper house-just steps away from the beach
Location: San Francisco (San Pancho), Nayarit, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (25 miles North from Puerto Vallarta)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Casa Tranquila, an idyllic beach front retreat, is located in the Costa Azul area in the beautiful and friendly village of San Francisco (San Pancho). Just 25 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, this newly upgraded 2 Bedroom, 2 bath house is fully equipped and tastefully decorated with antiquities from around the world. A spacious living/dining room with 14 foot ceilings opens up onto the terrace with a heated negative edge plunge pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean and pristine beach. Enjoy sunsets, relax, have a massage on the terrace or have a private chef come prepare a traditional meal for you and your guests.
The breathtaking beach at your backdoor is never crowded (almost deserted) and free of annoying vendors. Costa Azul Resort is steps away and offers an array of adventure activities. They have a huge pool, with swim up bar, and their restaurant/bar is right on the beach. The best restaurant in town, Cafe del Mar, has opened another restaurant, Mar Plata, just across the street. In the pueblo of San Pancho, which is about a 15 minute stroll down the beach, you can experience the quaint charm of old Mexico, including excellent places to eat and interesting shops.
Casa Tranquila is exactly what the name implies, a retreat where the leisurely pace of life can be fully enjoyed. This property was featured in Costal Living Magazine December 07.

Hi Jeff, Just wanted to let you know that we had an incredible time at your place in Mexico. It was spectacular!! Everything was perfect and we would love to go back again next year. Our talks of returning at the same time next year were the only way we could motivate ourselves to walk out the door and catch our flights. Otherwise I think we would still be there, fighting with your next guests over squatter's rights....We loved it that much!. I just close my eyes now and think about the wonderful beach and sunsets. And watching the surf was just mesmerizing for me. The last couple of nights we spent the evenings on the beach, letting the kids play and watching the sun set. It was the best... And in the mornings we would take long walks up and down the beach and watch the day begin...That's the life... It's hard for me to believe that just a week ago we were enjoying your beautiful San Pancho home and now I am sitting in my cubicle at Wells Fargo writing marketing material for mutual funds...I want to go back! I'm so glad that Mia and I did so much research to find the perfect place. It paid off! Thanks again for everything,

Our trip was wonderful! We loved Casa Tranquilla - it was such a lovely place. The town was so charming, the food was great, and best of all was our beautiful accommodations at Casa Tranquilla. We would highly recommend any of the 3 units (Casa Tranquilla, Casa Lolita or the one directly on the beach). We already miss it! Best regards, Genoveva

Hi Jeff; We are back in the frozen north, which has thankfully thawed out to a considerable extent. Of course, we are still basking in the afterglow of our two week stay at Casa Tranquila, which we enjoyed immensely, thanks to your obvious talents as a host and builder. We have been vacationing in Mexico, in various locations, for over 20 years and Casa Tranquila has earned a spot at the top of the list.
