  The house was as described in the ad. The housekeeper was a lovely lady, met us when we arrived and had water for us. She did an awesome job with the cleaning and washing. The pool was kept clean and fresh for us to swim in. Other than the neighbors dog that barked day and night until we complained the property was restively quiet. The sandy beach is long, clean and relatively people free. The town is clean and friendly. Would like to go back.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children.

  We have been vacationing in Mexico for the past 25 years and for the last 10 we have rented homes on the Nayarit coast, Villa Lo De Marcos is one of the nicest! The casa is well kept, nicely decorated and everything works – a rarity in our experience! We were staying for a month so it was nice to have a well equipped kitchen, good sized bedrooms and an indoor sitting area; amenities that made it a comfortable home as well as a beautiful vacation spot. The courtyard/pool area is very private and is a great place to drink a Margarita and read a good book. It gets the sun most of the day so is perfect for getting that mandatory Mexican tan and the pool water was never cold. When you have had enough sun the covered patio area was just as pleasant. At this time of year Lo de Marcos is a relatively quiet seaside town, the beach is great and the people are friendly. All the restaurants we tried offered a good selection of tasty Mexican cuisine at affordable prices but some of the restaurants were only open at the weekends We “home cooked” much of the time and had no problems buying our groceries at the local stores. The Mangoes, Papayas and Pineapples are sooo tasty! When we return to Lo de Marcos this Villa will be our first choice.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

  Owner response: It was a sincere pleasure having you two as our guests! We do hope that you will visit Villa Lo de Marcos again soon! We always appreciate feedback and love knowing that you enjoyed our little town! Hasta pronto!

  I surprised my beau for his bday, and this place couldn't have been more perfect. Maria was amazing from the start, giving me so much great info. We got to meet her during the stay and she couldn't have been nicer. Maricella and her daughter were so sweet and she even cooked us a meal upon our arrival that was the best of our stay. The home is gorgeous. So many great art details and just a relaxing spot to lay in the sun, read, jump in the pool, enjoy coffee or dinner. We loved the pallapa and even had massages up there one day. Felt completely safe the entire trip. The town is so cute. Very warm and inviting. Be sure to check out La Luna, the Italian restaurant in town. Make reservations. The owners are lovely. We rented a car and fell in love with San Pancho and Sayulita as well. Staying in lo de marcos was perfect. We got to come home to a quite peaceful place and take off to explore other areas whenever we wanted. I highly recommend! We can't wait to come back.

  Owner response: Thank you for being the perfect guests and allowing us to bring over new little treasures we found in Guadalajara to make your stay more comfortable. We hope that you will make it to Lo de Marcos soon. Mi casa es su casa! Maria

  My family which includes myself, husband, daughter (14), son (11) fell in love with villa Lo De Marcos and the sleepy village in which it is located. Our days consisted of coffee in the morning either by the pool or up in the palapa room, then we would head to the beach. Words cannot describe how beautiful and relaxing the 2 miles of beach that literally is just steps from the villa. The waves were perfect for boogie boarding and body surfing, my kids had know issues with the surf, however they are very experienced swimmers. While at the beach my husband would stroll to one of the palapa restaurants on the beach for a $1 Pacifo!! When we were beached out we would head back to the villa and have margueritas pool side while the kids still enjoyed the sun and pool. We cooked most of our meals at the villa, shopping in the village was a fun experience by day 3 we had things figured out, the coolers in front of most of the markets have warm tortillas fresh from the tortilla factory, the fresh bread is amazing, all of the produce was fresh and delicious, the seafood market is in a gentlemans front room in 3 coolers the fish just brought in off of the pangas! The locals are very kind and willing to help but brushing up on your Spanish would be helpful. We were VERY sad to leave and are already trying to figure out when we can come back!

  Owner response: Our housekeepers said your family was a real delight! We do hope you will visit us again soon! We'll keep those cervezas icy cold for you!

  We stayed at this amazing home with my husband and 2 young boys, and we LOVED every moment of it. It's a gorgeously decorated place with room to lounge, where every corner of the home is inviting and relaxing. The owner has gone out of her way to achieve an authentic Mexican feel, and has succeeded marvelously. The villa is a few steps from a gorgous beach and is very close to restaurants and stores. The town itself is a gem, where the locals are super friendly and welcoming and the evening stroll through the streets surrounds you with friendly grins and fantastic street food.

  Owner response: Villa Lo de Marcos is designed to give our guests unique areas throughout the house for privacy and relaxation. If you are here for a romantic getaway or a family vacation for 6, everyone will enjoy spending time in the villa or on the pristine beach which is only 60 feet from the house. A short walk will get you to Rogelio's, a wonderful restaurant on the beach, or to one of the local in-town spots. Rest assured that Lo de Marcos is safe, clean and the locals will greet you with sunny smiles. It's a great place to practice your Spanish - but don't worry, there are plenty of English speaking locals to help you. Stroll on the beach and explore a beautiful estuary, or hunt for sea glass and stop for a cold cerveza and dinner and enjoy our unsurpassed sunsets! It all awaits you in Lo de Marcos!

  Wow! My husband, 2 daughters, and I were completely enchanted by this wonderful villa. We were looking for a beautiful, relaxing, authentic taste of Mexican culture and found it here. The villa was pristine, inviting, and comfortable. It is so near the beach that we could here the waves crashing when the tide was coming in and the sunsets were breath taking. If you are looking for a laid back vacation spot, Villa lo de Marcos is perfect.
