Welcome to the most unique and stunning ocean front gated private villa in the area. Our new casa, finished in early 2009 is a luxurious retreat away from your everyday world that is located in a very quiet and peacefully secure area with an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean.
The 3100 square foot three story casa is an open-floor plan architectural wonder that includes three master bedroom suites, each with an extremely comfortable king-size memory foam bed, remote controlled air-conditioning with a private adjoining bathroom. Beautiful tile flooring on the main two floors and terraces with an interior non-skid staircase that brings you up to the second and third floors lends a contemporary feel to the casa that sleeps 8-10.
On the first floor you will find an over-sized fully equipped gourmet kitchen with a large pantry. An astonishing breakfast bar and a nearby dining table area compliment the kitchen. There is a half bath just off the kitchen. The living area invites you to sit and relax on the leather furniture and enjoy the view out the huge sliding glass doors to the pool area and covered terrace. One master suite is off the main living area with its own private patio area. The entire first floor, including the covered terrace is wheelchair accessible. The covered terrace has a 15’ overhang which beckons you outside to enjoy the outdoor bar area that includes a Weber gas barbeque and a ceiling fan for a little added breeze. Perfect for those afternoon margaritas. This area also has a half bath near the pool for convenience. There is over 2200 square feet of tiled exterior terraces. Past the pool is one of four sun decks, this one sporting a compass rose to give you your bearings.
The second floor consists of two more ocean view master suites/baths, a center bonus room and two terraces. All master suites are fitted with Egyptian cotton bedding and soft plush towels. All windows and most doors are screened. The bonus room sports two leather futons that can be converted into extra sleeping. There is a small reading library and a selection of music & movie CDs available. The front terrace on the second floor is partially shaded by a beautiful wood pergola and is surrounded by a wood & rope railing. The custom-made woodwork throughout the home is gorgeous. Maid service comes twice weekly.
The third floor is an open secluded area for sunbathing and the best place for viewing the dramatic sunrises and sunsets. Watching the migrating whales, manta rays, porpoises and the dive bombing local bird life is a full time job. This area of beach also serves as a nesting ground for returning sea turtles.
The 38’ x 18’ pool is big enough for lap swimming or just cooling off. There is a sturdy handrail down the steps into the 5’ deep pool that has underwater lighting for night swims. The pool boy comes weekly.
The casa is enclosed within its own security walls with a locking front driveway gate and secure parking inside the structure. It is surrounded by undeveloped building lots on all sides, so it is extremely private. There is a new washer and dryer outside the casa under an attached pergola. There are seven ceiling fans throughout the home. A UV water filtration system is installed for pure water as well as a cold bottled water dispenser.
Just steps away from the casa is the exclusive Grand Bay Hotel’s world class 27 hole golf course (Golf Magazine Gold Medal Award winner) with it’s own great clubhouse that serves a wonderful Sunday brunch. The Grand Bay also has a variety of dining options. A 45 minute drive into Manzanillo brings two more exceptional golf courses for your enjoyment and modern shopping. A half mile walk brings you to Coco Cabanas, the local gathering place that serves up wonderful meals and drinks. The nearby towns of Chiuatlan, Barra de Navidad and Melaque have all wonderful shopping areas where the local fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables are stocked in abundance.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Five friends from Oregon USA have found the jewel of Mexico. We came here to spend relaxation time and decided this was the place to build. Traveling all over Mexico, this is the area we came back to time and again because of its beautiful lands and people.
Why the Owner Chose Barra de Navidad
This area of Mexico is very tropical and green with an abundance of agriculture. The 5 mile long Playa de Coco Beach area is covered with coconut palms, bananas, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers. We have enjoyed meeting the local people and have made many friends.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Watching the migrating whales, manta rays, porpoise and the dive bombing-fish catching pelicans and local bird life is the only full time job here. The local temperature varies between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Local fresh seafood is in abundance. It IS paradise!
