Boasting the most unobstructed and expansive views of the ocean and the Bay of Banderas, this grand estate—which is but a short fifty yard walk from the beach—is one of the largest within the gates of Lagos del Mar which resides in the private Four Seasons Resort peninsula, offering the ultimate in tranquil open air living, inside and out.
With a poolside space that is four times that of most of the houses in Lagos Del Mar, the villa’s serene outdoor setting features lush landscapes, expansive lawn and tropical gardens weaving throughout the property. And because one of the area surf breaks lies just beyond the villa, you can easily assess if the surf’s up from the garden.
Offering full access to two private Resident’s Beach Clubs, two golf courses, a ten-court tennis center and a full fitness center—all within walking distance—this beautiful villa, which is located near the town of Punta Mita, provides as much activity as it does relaxation. Whether you’re looking to wind up or down, you’ll find the perfect solution here.
Each of the villa’s five spacious and sophisticated suites features its own spectacular, open view of the ocean, private lanais, king or dual queen beds, an outdoor and indoor shower, luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets, air-conditioning, daily turn down service and much more. Impeccably decorated by Four Seasons designers, each suite is marvelously outfitted with wood, marble and onyx throughout. Wireless is also available throughout.
With two housekeepers, a cook, and a concierge/houseman, rest assure that all of your needs will be met with warmth and care. The house services include grocery shopping, preparation of three daily meals, and offers as many snacks and drinks as you desire.
Go ahead, make yourself comfortable in the hammock, grab a pair of binoculars, peer out at the endless succession of turquoise waves, the bobbing sailboats and the magnificent Sierra Madre mountains across the bay—you might even spot a whale or dolphins enjoying the ocean waters. And you’ll likely think to yourself: This place is, simply, the best.

Why the Owner Chose Lagos del Mar
We absolutely love Mexico and particularly Punta Mita. We enjoy working on our Spanish and experiencing the culture of Mexico. While inside the gates of Punta Mita, we are absolutely at ease, it is sublimely pristine, the beaches are covered with white sand, they are quiet, the beach clubs are beautiful and well attended, and there are several spots that are some of the most beautiful that I have ever seen. We also chose Punta Mita versus one of the other resort areas because it has more to offer - 2 private golf courses (my husband is a 0 handicap, loves to golf), tennis, multiple beach clubs, The Four Seasons Resort and The St. Regis, and much more
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
World class tennis facility, fabulous private and pristine beaches, surfing, whale watching (even from the house), massages at our house, the kids swimming all day...
Jack Nicolas' first golf course in the gates of Punta Mita, the 8th hole is located just below the villa property, on the ocean.
The little town is about a 15 minute walk down the beach. From here you can catch a panga out to the Marietta Islands, stroll the streets, enjoy a little nightlife or have dinner at Vitos, Cafe des Artistes or a number of other restaurants
Security on the beach marking the entrance of the Four Seasons Resort
Lagos del Mar is a privately gated community within the Four Seasons Resort. It is staffed 24 hour a day with security who stroll the property. We appreciate this attention to detail, and are happy to report that we have never had any theft or security issues.
Located very close to the villa, the private resort tennis facility has 10 courts (grass & sand and regular) and a tennis shop. There is also a private fitness center for our villa guests.
The Medical Clinic has a doctor available 24 hours per day as well as an ambulance for transport to a larger hospital.
Private Beach club for residents and villa guests only. Our guests have access to all the amenities at the Beach Club including 2 pools, kayaks, snorkel gear, spa services, restaurant, food and drink service on the beach, children's play facility, kids club (seasonally) and more
Rolling waves, a great long boarding spot. Walk out in the garden to the edge of the villa property and watch the surfers to decide if its time to hang ten.
Private St. Regis Beachclub, available to our guest with a day use fee.
All sorts of glorious services. Our concierge would be happy to make arrangements for you!
Owner's Map of Lagos del Mar
My husband and I grew up in rainy Oregon, but we LOVE the sun and the ocean. We first vacationed in Mexico in 1990 and for many years, returned as often as we could. Now we have kids and they love Mexico too. When we discovered Punta Mita, we were smitten, it had everything we loved about Mexico - wonderful beaches, great people, fantastic golf, nearby towns, Mexican culture, sun, surf - so many choices for both us and our kids. We feel so fortunate that we were able to build Caida de Agua and to enlist the help of an outstanding architect and an award winning design team. Our experiences there have created the most wonderful memories with our family and friends. We are happy to share this wonderful place. Warmly, Kara

Kara I just wanted to write and say that we had a wonderful vacation at Caida de Agua. Arnoldo and Luisa were amazing, they catered to our every need (at all hours unfortunately), their cooking was extraordinary and the place was always so very clean. You have an excellent staff and we made sure they received above and beyond the required tips. We would love to return in the near future. Thank you again. Renetta Don’t forget Jorge too. He was great. I have never been to a place with that great of service. You have great people working for you. Blaine M. C

Hi there Kara, Where do I start. Your house is truly just divine and we couldn’t have asked for a better way for us all to finish our holiday than staying in your stunning house. We had the best time and loved every minute. The staff you have working there are so so so wonderful and hospitable. They really do Caida justice and made our stay all the more better. Louisa – what a cook – the food was amazing and Arnoldo (Arnie as we called him) was just perfect. They made our whole experience all the more richer and have helped us create memories that will last a life time. Our house waiter - I can’t pronounce his name we called him ‘H’ (Jorge) was also fabulous and the other ladies as well. I am so sad to have left as we really did have the best time. Thank you so much and we hopefully would love to return again soon. Kind regards, Kate G

Kara, My husband and I just returned from Mexico 2 weeks ago and we reminisce daily about the vacation and in particular the house. It was FABULOUS! Arnoldo and Luisa were as wonderful as they come and the food was some of the best we've had! There really was not one thing we would have changed and we hope to return next year. Kyle & Ashley S.

Kara, Hello!! I am sorry I am just getting to you after our vacation. I have been trying to get back to the land of the living and out of vacation mode. I have to say it was hands down the best vacation i have ever been on, the house was amazing but what made it the best was Arnoldo, Luisa and the rest of the staff. They are so amazing and just made us feel so at home and relaxed. I want to write a longer review for you and I know many of the group will to in the next few weeks but I just wanted to quickly let you know sooner that We appreciate your house and staff so much, I think I already have convinced a few families to come see you this year!!! I will be in touch soon with a more extensive review from everyone. Thank you, Melissa P.

Kara, We had another fabulous time in your home!!!! The staff was once again incredible and the first timers could not get over how gorgeous the house is. They kept saying it is just perfect - the decor is just perfect, the layout is just perfect, the view is perfect....thought you might want to know!!! Thanks for allowing us to have our friends over - we had a total of 16 adults around the table while 8 kids had noodle fights and did cartwheels in the garden.... our Mexican friends stay at the Four Seasons but often have to rent additional rooms since the family is so large...you might have located some potential new renters with that crew! They could not stop with the compliments about the house (one gentleman is a home builder) and the food. They proclaimed the food far superior to that at the Four Seasons!!! We had a nighttime Easter Egg hunt and the cake for Mark's birthday on Sunday was just precious - it was exactly what he wanted. Attached is one of my favorite photos from our trip - this is of my 10 year old daughter at the beach - many many more fond memories were made this week so thank you again for sharing your home with us! Thanks again and I hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing! Nicole

Our trip to Caida de Agua was certainly one to remember. We arrived ready for a relaxing week and were greeted by the staff, Margiritas in hand. From there, it was what we expected and more. The house is more beautiful than the pictures show, which is amazing. We felt right at home and could not have had a better layout for our small group. Everyone had their own suite but we all wanted just to sit in the living room and gaze over the ocean views. As far as the staff, Luisa and Arnoldo were very accomodating and we became fast friends before the week was over. Luisa's cooking was healthy and delicious and Arnoldo even cut open fresh coconuts for drinks! Our concierge, Mel, did an amazing job, juggling multiple requests at once, even helping me provide new surfboards for the kids as a surprise. When my daughter came down with a stomach flu, it was all hands on deck and the staff made sure she had all she needed from a Doctor (house call!) to meds and special meals. She was back in shape in no time thanks to them! I highly recommend this beautiful property wo anyone who desires a relaxing vacation, with golf and a beautiful resort attached, while being able to enjoy the privacy and serenity that Caida de Aguga provides. Most importantly, the staff, and ownership are a pleasure to deal with and know how to make everything go perfectly! Save me a week next year!!

Dear Kara, Thank you for your extended hospitality while we stayed in your home in Punta Mita this past week. Your property is absolutely beautiful, and I am sure that you know – your staff is exceptional in every way. Luisa’s food was spectacular and Arnoldo is so warm and generous. We ate at a few different restaurants, and I was always wishing Luisa was in their kitchen! She did make the recommendation that we go to Sufi; and it was impressive. Arnoldo wanted to do nothing but please us. . . and he definitely made my baby fall in love with him. Giovanni accused Arnoldo of wanting another baby. . . Luisa shook her head. Really cute. We take many family trips and stay in many amazing properties, but your staff set this trip apart. Thank you again. Best, Lauren C

Dear Kara, Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful villa. This was our first time to Punta Mita, so we weren't sure what to expect. Our friends and I enjoyed our stay at your villa immensely. I want to give a special thank you to Arnoldo and Luisa. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness, as well as a much needed ice cold margarita. They were attentive and accommodating, and we felt very pampered and indulgent. The stunning villa, the beautiful view, and the attentive staff made our trip unforgettable. We enjoyed our stay at Caida de Agua so much that we can't wait to do it again. Warmest regards, Ilon & Steven

Dear Kara, As we prepare to leave your beautiful house to get a little skiing done before the New Year I wanted to let you know how wonderful our first experience in Punta Mita has been. To begin with your house is not only beautiful but architecturally designed extremely well. Its deceptive simplicity is thoughtful, tasteful and fits really well into the landscape and surrounding environment. But of course like any house or hotel that accommodates a variety of guests, no matter how luxurious, it is always the team of people that host who make the difference. You have put together a group of folks who staff your house that are not only very professional but are warm, flexible and discreet. We not only felt welcome from the moment we stepped in the house but we felt like we were special! Arnoldo and Louisa with help from Alvaro, Juanita and Wendy give really, really good hospitality with just the right amount of pampering and attentiveness. They always took great pains to make sure they understood what we wanted ,were willing to learn new things and teach us about local variations. Because we are in the hotel industry we understand very well the value of have someone like Arnoldo out in front in an endeavor of this sort he is a treasure that leads his team extremely well with dignity and respect. I know you were concerned that our stay would be enjoyable, with this group led by Arnoldo and Louisa you can always be confident that your guests are going to be very happy. We will certainly recommend your house to all our friends who want a similar experience knowing you have provided a very special environment and they have provided the attentive service. Warm regards for the New Year. Margot and Tom

Dear Kara, We just stayed for 10 days at Casa Caida de Aqua in Punta Mita and had the most fabulous time. Arnoldo and Luisa were fantastic and made our stay so comfortable. They are extremely professional and at the same time, they are warm, welcoming and caring. The service they provided was exceptional. Luisa's cooking was delicious and she was very accommodating to my granddaughter who needed separate meals from the adults. Arnoldo was a superb waiter, catering to our every need, and made sure the house ran perfectly. Juanita did an excellent job of keeping the house clean and all of our laundry impeccably done. The house is lovely and worked so well for my family but the staff is what made it a home away from home and so much more relaxing than staying in a hotel. Sincerely, Susan W
