We had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing vacation here at Casa Colina and charming San Pancho. The weather was perfect and the view spectacular. We saw whales jumping on 3 different days. It was great to be away from the snow for a week living outdoors in February but still keeping in touch with home on the internet. We will highly recommend this place to our family and friends.

A beautiful and relaxing week for my husband and I in such a special location. Treasured every sunset and loved whale watching from the patio. The iguana that spent part of a morning with us was a gift. This was our second visit to San Pancho and we will be back!

This home is an absolute delight for anyone who truly loves the beauty of the outdoors. We spent 8 nights at Casa Colina and could easily have stayed longer. The home offers dramatic views of the ocean and the jungle, soothing sounds of waves crashing and birds singing, comfortable spaces to lounge with more than adequate seating, fully equipped kitchen and the ultimate in privacy but yet very accessible to walking to the darling town of San Pancho or along the beach or jogging up the road. Check out the great website for San Pancho, it offers lots of great information for birding, hiking, restaurants etc.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I spent about 2 weeks in this fantastic home. Who could ask for more! The location is perfect and so is the view. How thrilling to see whales go by, the jungle birds in all of their colors and the small fishing boats that go by. Just sit and enjoy the wildlife and ocean going vessels or even one- man flying machines. The walk into the village is not real hard and the village itself is quiet with lots of places to shop and eat. You are not far from Puerto Vallarta and the drive is beautiful. There are numerous small villages to see and shop in that are in all directions, so day excursions are easy to do. The house itself is a total delight. Private bathrooms in each bedroom and the kitchen area is so convenient. You can see the view while doing the cooking. Lounge around all day on the patio or hike up in the jungle. Sit and watch TV in the living room and still see the ocean. I have never spent time in such an open air home as this one is. If you like quiet and privacy, this is the place to be. If you have children, there is a hotel just down the road that, for a fee, allows you to use their pool right on the beach. Sunsets are to die for here. They are perfect photo opportunities. A walk on the beach below allows you a wonderful view of the other homes in the area and it is not crowded. Given the chance, I would spend as much time there as I could. One could never go wrong in renting this home. It is well maintained and one feels right at home here, rather than being in a condo or an apartment. I appreciate the way the owners have made strangers feel comfortable and the fact that they have a guest book for one to leave comments in during their stays. It is fun to read messages from previous renters and see where in the world they have all come from. I am hoping to return again one day soon and would tell anyone who is interested in renting this home to do it for as long as you can. Once you have been there, you will want to go back.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, pet owners, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

Casa Colina is such a very special place. The openness, ocean, jungle make it so. Your hard work ad appreciation of this place is apparent in your construction. Next year we want to spend one of the 3 weeks we are in Mexico at Casa Colina. Thank you for your hospitality and openness. Sincerely, Bill
