Just 30 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport where the jungle and the mountains meet the ocean on a beautiful hillside with views of the ocean and jungle, and only 50 yards from the ocean sits Casa Pajaro, a tropical paradise in wonderful, sunny Sayulita! If you like pristine beaches, warm ocean, ripping surf, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing, then Sayulita with its fantastic restaurants, incredible jungles, scenic mountains, and friendly people is the place for you.
Located on the Villas Rana Verde estate, with over an acre of private land, we are one of the largest pieces of estate property in Sayulita. The best tropical garden in Sayulita is at your doorstep with private, gated grounds that feature over 20 varieties of palms, hibiscus & bouganvilla of all colors, ixoras, jasmine, plumeria, orchid trees, birds of paradise, gardenia, corona, heliconia, gingers, maguey, blue agave, abundant cacti, almond trees, organic fruit for your table, including: bananas, papayas, Mandarin oranges, Persian limes, and so much more. Exotic tropical gardens like ours are seldom seen in private homes. If you love to garden, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live your dream in a tropical paradise.
The beach across the street is one of the most pristine, sandy, private beaches with the cleanest water in Sayulita. It is not unusual to be the only person on the beach for 1/4 mile in each direction. It is a nesting grounds for Leatherback turtles who can be seen in the early morning hours and late evenings during September and October laying their eggs or hiding the nests before their return to the ocean.
Our lovely estate is home to the most beautiful birds that you are likely to witness outside the most complete aviary of exotic, tropical, colorful birds! We have identified over 100 varieties of these magnificent creatures. On the property you can view hummingbirds, orioles, tanagers, caciques, finches, parakeets, parrots, macaws, woodpeckers, chachalacas, trogons, hawks, honeycreepers, warblers, and much more. This is all without leaving the property. There is an even larger abundance if you venture into the nearby jungle.
Fully-furnished home features ocean and jungle views from every room on a gated estate with a private pool that that looks out on the ocean and verdant jungle. On-site concierge assures you that everything works all the time. All rooms are furnished with the finest amenities such as Ralph Lauren towels, 200-thread-count all cotton sheets (only natural fiber products are used throughout), down pillows, televisions with DVD/tape players and a DVD library TV Box sets & movies, hand-woven Guatemalan fabrics for all curtains and pillow covers, our personal art collection from travels throughout Mexico/Guatemala, furnishings that will allow you all the comforts you need while enjoying our incredible villa! Meander through our many cobblestone pathways into a tropical botanical paradise seldom seen on private grounds. Enjoy a chilled glass of wine from the ocean-view pool while the cascading waterfall chills away the heat, with the best of tropical bird and plant life as your private postcard!
We provide everything you need for a luxurious and relaxing stay! Hair dryers in every bathroom, down pillows, organic fruit from the estate for your table, every day maid and pool service, optional cook, beach towels (chairs and umbrellas too), fresh flowers, the best of everything, all in the most private near the village at the sand (50 yards) location in Sayulita! If you are looking for a very private getaway without even leaving the estate, our cook can prepare (optionally, at additional cost) authentic Mexican meals. She brings her masa dough for tortillas, along with her wooden press (most guests enjoy pitching in and making their own tortillas, it is lots of fun with Erica), and she prepares salsa, guacamole, rice, beans, and your choice of chile rellenos, shrimp, fish, chicken, pork or beef. Most guests tell me this is one of the highlights of their trip.
We are located about one-half mile from the village in an area of private villas away from the night noise of the village with its roosters (why do they have to start crowing at 2:30 AM?), cantinas, and Saturday night disco at the soccer field with unprecedented decibel levels! Your quiet night of sleep is assured. We are across from the ocean, 50 yards away, just a two-minute walk. You will appreciate not being on the ocean when the big surf comes and the pounding is so loud and strong that it literally shakes the home you are in, when your clothes and sheets are not damp all the time from the mist from the waves crashing on the beach, and you have to shout to hear each other talk! The short walk to town can be along the pristine, sandy beach or a quiet dirt road.
We have the best property, grounds, amenities in Sayulita! Check out the "comments from previous guests" below to find out how truly great our estate is.
Experience Mexico at its best. Outside Magazine calls Sayulita "the best place to hang a hammock." Check out why in the March/April 2004 issue of AARP magazine article on retiring in Mexico, the authors concluded their search for the perfect spot and bought a home in Sayulita! The New York Times, San Jose Mercury, and the LA Times have all written fantastic articles on Sayulita. You will not experience a more beautiful, untouched paradise anywhere.

Why the Owner Chose Sayulita
Why the Owner Chose Sayulita
My wife and I came to Sayulita in 1995. We immediately loved the wonderful ambiance, weather, ocean and great people. We were living in Santa Cruz, CA at the time, which we love for many of the reasons. As the years went by we were spending more time each year in Sayulita. We moved here full time in 2003 and have never regretted a day. We live next door to the villas full time, so we are here to be sure that everything runs at 100% efficiency all the time. We love surfing in warm water, the beaches, weather, jungle, small village atmosphere, the people, etc. There is a reason why everyone is talking about Sayulita, but that reason is actually many reasons. It is just a fantastic place to live or visit! Come and visit us and discover why so many of our guests describe our villas in superlative terms. We make it great for you!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our estate is a fantastic venue for any size group of up to 15-20 people, depending on whether there are families, couples or singles. All villas have their own private pool. Our full acre plus property is landscaped with the finest garden in Sayulita. Due to the extensive 15 year garden and other landscaping, there is total privacy everywhere.

We use only the finest for your bedding, cooking, bathing, etc, so that when you come here, the comforts are much like what you are accustomed to at home. Our driver will pick you up the airport, insuring your comfort and safety to and from the villas. Our ocean views are unsurpassed in Sayulita.
