Sayulita house description
Specifically designed for a casually laid-back and relaxing stay, even a really long one, Casa Amarilla reflects the owner's belief that quality is always a good investment! Canadian designed, and built to that standard, though constructed and managed by some of the best local artisans, no effort, or expense, has been spared to ensure your security and enjoyment. This compound is a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of the beach and completely surrounded by a 2 meter wall and each unit has a safe for valuables; providing a quiet, serene and secure setting. There is off street, covered parking for 2 and in-compound, locked parking for 1 more.
Whether you want to tan in a lounger by the pool, nap in a hammock, enjoy a cerveza or two either under the palapa or at the bar by the pool, dance under the stars or entertain friends, new or old, these homes offer the flexibility to do it all and more in style. Or, since the 3 separate air-conditioned get-away's are in the same compound, you may elect to book it in its entirety for larger parties.
Our open concept allows the breezes to waft through while the large windows admit an abundance of light. The kitchens are fully equipped to allow you to create anything you wish... blenders, coffee makers,pots and pans,(margarita glasses), bar fridges and full fridges, full stoves with oven and toaster ovens. If we could think of a need, we provided for it!
Featuring professionally designed gardens, soft colours, wonderful rock walls, tiled courtyards, and the splashing of the pool to soothe the senses, we are certain your stay here to be one you'll remember as long as it takes to come again.
Casa Amarilla is a magically perfect place for a couple, a small family, or even a larger party to comfortably enjoy the wonderful village of Sayulita. We have two apartment style casitas available for rent as well, contact us for details on renting the whole complex!!
We look forward to welcoming you to our casitas and hearing of your enjoyment there!

We just returned from two weeks in Sayulita. Casa Amarilla was such a wonderful place to stay. The roof top patio/palapa was even better than the pictures, a great place for a margarita and a meal. The plantings and landscaping were really well done. Everything was clean and well maintained. Doug was so prompt in answering any questions we had before our arrival and one or two during our stay. Would we go back? In a heart beat.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: It's always a joy to hear that other people enjoy staying at Casita Amarilla as much as we do. We're pleased you'd come again. We'd love to have you when you do!

A very relaxing and enjoyable winter escape from Canada was found for a family of three in Sayulita. Each day greeted us with warm sunny weather, delicious food prepared by friendly Mexicans and endless surfing for our teenage daughter. We loved staying at the Casita Amarilla …the highlights were the clean Casa’s, the beautiful grounds where we read underneath the rooftop palapa or lounged by the pool and the visits with the owners Doug and Sheran King. Their hospitality was outstanding including an incredible Christmas dinner. We very much enjoyed our 2 week retreat to Sayulita and highly recommend staying at the Casita Amarilla.

Owner response: There is something to be said about being relaxed, tranquil and at ease. Everything seems to be better. The food is tastier, the wine more robust, the company more interesting. We are glad you enjoyed yourselves and had a great time there.We love being there too. Saludos!

My husband and I stayed in the lower casita for three weeks, and we still were not ready to go home. The property is fantastic for any length of stay. The casitas have all the amenities needed to be comfortable for any length of time, and since we were there three weeks, we used the laundry, we cooked meals, we had friends visit for an afternoon by the pool, and we truly felt at home. The internet is top notch, as I had to work some each day so that was important. We had the pleasure of Doug and Sheran's (owners) company during part of the stay, very enjoyable to spend some time enjoying margaritas with, and the folks that help maintain the property are wonderful, so helpful and keep the property immaculate. The way the property is designed, you can find your private space if you like, or hang out with others around the pool, we met so many great people during our stay as the other casita was occuppied by different couples through our stay. Sayulita itself is a dream vacation spot, and less than a ten minute walk puts you in the heart of town and the beach is just a couple blocks further. There is plenty to do in Sayulita, as well as some great little towns and beaches to go explore. Surfing, boogie boarding and paddle boarding are a must. We highly recommend Stand Up Paddle for lessons/rentals, the crew is super, and they have a great bar in back of the shop for the evenings. Mangiafuoco, the Italian restaurant just down the hill from the property has the best pizza and fresh handmade pasta, it's like being in Italy, for when you finally grow tired of all the great tacos found at the various little taco shops on the street. Los Afortunadas is another great dining place for a nice meal, beautiful garden setting and the best pork chop my husband ever had. Hopping the bus, getting a taxi or even renting a car for the day is easy to do in town, if you want to spend a day in Puerto Vallarta or elsewhere. There are so many activities, great people, great restuarants, there isn't enough space to list them all, but you won't be sorry taking a Sayulita vacation and staying at Casitas Amarilla.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind review. We're happy that you enjoyed your stay and had a good time. Sayulita is indeed a wonderful holiday spot, a very special place! Each time we come back, we try to make it a bit better, as we feel that 'coming home' is just as important when you are on holidays. If you should ever find your way back, we'd be pleased to be your hosts once more.

Casa Amarilla or casitas I have stayed at both. Don't make the mistake of going anywhere else. My husband and almost 2 year old stayed 3 years ago and it was amazing, beyond amazing. This year we returned and stayed in a casita, equally fabulous. Doug and Sheran do not miss anything, they go beyond your greatest expectations. The beautiful grounds, the palapas, the pool, the hammocks, the washer and dryer,the refridgerators on all levels! music, wireless, TV with Satelite and tons of channels, Endless towels, and great beds! (huge!) So comfy. The beautiful bathroom and insane shower, kitchen that has it all and more and so amazingly clean and beautiful. The most wonderful staff, like family. We will never go anywhere else. Thank you Thank you! Our daughter now 5 and a half slept great on the couch and in the huge bed with us, plenty of room. We made the mistake of thinking we needed to find a "two bedroom" and Doug and Sheran rescued us and got us in with a moments notice to PARADISE!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks guys...It's really neat to be able to share a dream with other people! We're really pleased that you enjoyed yourselves, enjoyed our staff. They really are great folks. You'll be welcomed back anytime you wish to come!!

We have now stayed at this casita twice...clearly we love it! Doug and Sheran are wonderful and helpful, and the house is beautiful, well maintained, and very tranquil. It is a short walk from the town center and beach, and is an excellent location. Sayulita is an incredible place to visit, and we highly recommend staying here!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: It's really cool to hear from people who get what we did! This is our DREAM realized! Like most dreams people have, we pushed ours right out there, and then, somehow, we got it. That you validate it...

We stayed in the casa at Casita Amarilla and absolutely loved it. The house is relatively new and the construction is top notch with a well thought out floor plan, gorgeous lush landscaping, throughout the property, beautiful showers with natural rocks and a large open kitchen. The house came incredibly well equipped with an in-unit washer & dryer, a fully equipped kitchen (blender, coffee maker, bottled water), stereo system that you can plug your ipod or phone into, towels, umbrella for the beach, books, satellite tv, A/C, boogie boards, and a rooftop palapa complete with a hammock, BBQ, sink, refrigerator and couches. If you have an infant or toddler the house is great as it's separated from the 2 apartments so you don't have to worry about waking up the neighbors whenever the baby starts crying. Doug & Sheran even loaned us their pack n'play crib which was a lifesaver! We BBQ'd on the palapa and would often have our breakfasts there as well. The rooftop palapa area was quite large so it was great for letting our son run around and burn off some steam. The Casa is about a quick 7-10 minute walk to the town square and maybe another 5 min max to the beach. It's far enough from the town center to be relatively quiet. There are some roosters somewhere in the neighborhood, but they never woke me up or bothered me. We were sad to leave but plan to return quickly.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for the great review. Our intention when we built our Mexican "Get Away" was to give our guests the comforts of home while enjoying the charm of Mexico. We feel very fortunate to have had a fabulous local builder build Casita Amarilla who now manages the property for us...so the maintenance is always kept up ensuring your comfort in your away from home.

I spent 4 nights at Casita Amarilla and I can't wait to go back! Everything was wonderful. The cleaning staff kept everything immaculate, the bed was comfortable, the property is even nicer and larger than it appears in the pictures. It was just a short cab ride to Sayulita from PV, we were swimming in the pool at the Casita an hour after our plane landed. The design of the place is well thought out, a nice combination of natural light and privacy.....and the rooftop wet bar with a fridge is just amazing. To top it off Doug and Sheran were great hosts, they pointed us in the right direction to have the trip of a lifetime in Mexico. We'll be back!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: We're really happy you liked our casita! Sayulita is a great place to have a great time...'til the next time!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lovely casita Amarilla. The garden and pool area were especially relaxing. Having traveled quite a bit with many VRBO stays, we really appreciate how clean, well-kept and stocked the casita was. The bed was especially comfortable and we appreciated the quality linen and towels. We had everything we needed to cook at home and do laundry. Although we enjoyed a romantic stay having the place all to ourselves as a couple, we thought this would also be an excellent property and location for a family or group of friends and we hope we will have an opportunity to stay here again. Both Doug the owner, and Rene the property manager were very friendly and prompt with communication. Thank you for your kind welcome to your home!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: I'm glad you liked your stay. Being in Sayulita alone is enough to make me happy,nice amenities do make it better ;-)

A few weeks ago we returned from a great stay in the beautiful Casa Amarilla in Sayulita. Both the house and surrounding gardens are immaculately kept, and are in a very peaceful setting. I was impressed by how green and lush everything was ................ the gardeners were really doing their job, and the unexpected tropical storms provided lots of moisture! Fortunately, the rain came at night and the days were mostly sunny! The temperature was hot and the humidity was high so we really appreciated the palapa by the pool. It was perfect for relaxing,reading, and watching the butterflies and hummingbirds. We spent a lot of time in the awesome pool! The rooftop deck, complete with hammocks and comfy chairs, provided a cool evening retreat. The beaches, restaurants, and markets are all within walking distance. We really liked the dinners we had at the Calypso, Sayulita Cafe, and the beachfront restaurants. The owner's suggestions were all great, and he was very helpful in answering any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this holiday rental!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We're always pleased when people like our casita. Thank you!

We stayed a week at Casita Amarilla. A tip to the wise: if you can stay when the hosts, Doug & Sheran, are there you'll get delicious margaritas by the pool every afternoon and polite affection from their cute pooches -- Eddy and Casey. We've been to Sayulita before and appreciated the casita's proximity to town and the beach (less than a 5 minute walk) but quieter location on the east side of the hill. The pool, courtyard gardens and casita were lovely, and we really enjoyed the roof top deck with a view of the sunrise over the valley. The custom built casita features every possible amenity you could need, including fridges by the pool and the rooftop deck. We can't wait to come back. Make sure to drop Sheran and Doug's names at local restaurants... everyone seems to know and love them.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: When you come back, we'd love to see you too! Thanks.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: Our family first heard about Sayulita from our (then) 19 year old son who'd spent several months in 1996 surfing with a bunch of his high school buddies. He regaled us with tales of Paradise, of friendly people, unspoiled charm, and SURFING! I somewhat reluctantly headed off with his Mom and 2 younger siblings to 'no-one knew' that next Christmas and was smitten inside of 3 hours. Over the next 1/2 dozen or so years and at least 10 visits we became ever more convinced that this really was a place we could retire to and call home, have our grand-kids visit and build fond memories of. Finally we bought first one, then another, piece of property and began to formulate plans for the construction of (what?)and with whom? Ideas came and went, changed and changed again, When we thought we had it right and were ready to start, we found out we were really beginning another stage in the evolution of what we now have...and we see more change yet. Such are the ways of dreams! What we never changed was our focus on quality and our belief that built well is built best. We are so very proud of what have, owe so much to those who did our work and added to our dream. We always enjoy hearing from our past guests and how much they enjoyed their stay. We welcome you to stay with us and see what a part of our dream looks and feels like. Pura Vida, Doug and Sheran
Why the Owner Chose Sayulita:
Well, we really didn't buy...we built. It seemed more rewarding to us to design, build, change and evolve our way into something uniquely ours. What you'll see here is a blend of what we wanted and what we learned how to do all folded into and around one of the nicest little villages either of us has ever been to. It's privacy, location and amenities are uniquely appealing...whether it's surfing, fishing, snorkeling sampling some FIRST CLASS dining, collapsing at the side of the pool with a cerveza or curling up with a book, it can all be done and enjoyed from here. I've never been to a place I like being more. That's why!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We're about a 7-10 minute walk to the town square...close enough for easy access, far enough away for privacy. Our property is self-sufficient, laundry, grounds and house staff, garden areas, pool, 3 palapas to relax under, satellite TV and internet. If you want it, it's either there or close by! Maybe the neatest, and most under-used asset is a hidden beach you can't get to from the main town/beach area, Carrecitos...guaranteed quiet.
