Location: Punta del Burro, Nayarit, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (35 mins to Puerto Vallarta. near Punta Mita and Sayulita)

Accommodations:  2 Houses (you get both), 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)

This beach lover's ocean front property, which also borders a lush palm-surrounded riverbed, is located directly in front of the well known "Burro's" surf break. Experience the luxury of watching the surf from this prime location, from either the patio in front of the main house, the private palapa off the master bedroom, or under the palm trees in the new sand-level sitting area.

Casa Selvatica consists of two exotic beach homes. The front main house is over 1800 square feet and the back newer house is 1200 square feet. Designed by architect Cristina Duque, these houses are full of beautiful exotic touches and unique approaches to design. The creative and imaginative uses of local building materials are exceptional, as well as the large sweeping walkways, open air living areas, and high bamboo ceilings which keep the houses cool year round. Tropical rare plants, palms and cycads dot the lush abundant landscaping designed by botanist Carlos Sacamano. Over 18 varieties of tropical birds are ever-present visitors to this beach, these gardens and the palm forest next to the river bed.

These houses are located on over a half acre property in Punto del Burro, one of Riviera Nayarit's most desirable secluded neighborhoods. It is gated, private and secure. Located approximately 25 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, 5 miles before the Punta De Mita Four Seasons Hotel and 3 miles past the new International Marina in Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Punto del Burro is a quiet gated spot offering spectacular views of the bay as well as a beautiful beach that is free of crowds and vendors.

SURF INFO:
The main peak at Burros is a fast rippable right with a short left. Often there is another peak which will have good lefts and the occasional fast right with a fun beach break as well. The spot is known to hold any size swell as well as be a wave magnet when other spots aren't breaking. I would say the surf is usually chest high with bigger sets. Other breaks nearby are Destilladeros, Veneros, La Lancha, El Coral, Anclote, El Faro, and, of course, Sayulita.

Wavehunters Website:
"The best surf in winter is found around Punta de Mita and inside the Bay of Banderas on the sheltered reefs such as Burros, Playa La Lancha, and El Faro."

Surf-mexico Website:
"Surfers In the Burros area report a sand and rock bottom with a right reef break and occasional barrels working with a west swell."

Amigosurfmexico Website:
"Surf in The North Shore of Banderas Bay: Punta Mita faces due South, with deep-water canyons focusing exceptional waves at off shore reefs. Punta del Burro and Destiladeras Beach among others, have the swells often times swing in with full Pacific power and it is usual to enjoy 8-12 ft waves throughout the year."

  • Dear Lori, Brilliant, magical, exotic, dreamy, fortress of the sea, what would call us away? Your frothy sands, clandestine linen rooms and waves warm our hearts and cheeks. I have never slept so well. Two weeks past with rocket ship enthusiasm and here we are, sun soaked, sorry to leave your leafy paradise. For sharing your home with us, we thank you! Your dog, dishes, daughter cast their mark on our hearts. Deep enough to ward away the New York chill for some time to come. An eternal place where time only revolves around the ocean. The waves tell stories of this place day in and out. We hope to see you again!! So incredibly grateful and blessed we feel we thank you immensely. Love, Max & Rach.

  • The house was awesome! We had everything we could need, your staff was excellent, there was surf, and my whole family loved it all! My kids said, " Why didn't you tell us how awesome this house was?!" They were all stoked about the artistry of the houses. The ocean was like a bath tub, we had a lightning show most every night, we ate good every day, the people are all friendly, we used your surfboards, we had a dance party one night, happy hour every night, no complaints or problems, with the house or the location. We will return, again and again, I hope. Punta Burro is the perfect spot in my opinion.

  • This was our second year at Casa Selvetica and we're already planning for next year's trip. An incredible place - perfect for relaxing! Our sons love the surf break! We all loved having Ortensia prepare dinners for us ... yummy! A wonderful stay in paradise!

  • I just returned from a wonderful stay at Casa Selvatica. Had a great time surfing, kayaking, beach combing. The house is funky and fun... open and airy... a cool place to stay, and perfectly located. I was lucky to visit at a time when the owner, Lori, was around... a delightful hostess and a wealth of information. A real bonus to this property are the available kayaks and surfboards.. I saved a bit not having to rent a board. Can't wait to return!

  • Our family had the pleasure of six nights in this wonderful paradise. It was truly the ideal getaway for my husband and three children - 17, 13 and 7. The house is ideal - the view unparalelled, the kitchen perfect, the bedrooms very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is simple living in an extremely luxurious setting. We will return as soon as we possibly can and would recommend it highly to everyone.

  • We just got back from our first stay at Casa Selvatica and are already trying to plan a return trip next year. We were there with another couple celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and it could not have been a better experience. The house was everything that it was reported to be and more. To quote my wife "it is a house that truly has a soul". Juana, the housekeeper, was great. Make sure if you come that you get her to make some of her avocado and noodle salad for lunch. We have been back home for three weeks and we still wake up trying to hear the sounds of the ocean outside the bedroom window.

  • The pictures do not do this Tropical Paradise justice. To celebrate my 40th Birthday, a group of 10 of us went and had the time of our lives. The beach, the amazing house, the owner, the caretaker, are all amazing and truly, as my husband said, "it was our best vacation yet." There was something for everyone to do. Surf, run, read, eat, drink, play, rest. It may be the coolest house I have ever been lucky enough to stay in!!!! This is such a magical place........we are going back next year. (And every year after that, I hope)

  • We have spent a fair amount of time throughout Mexico but nothing quite compares to Casa Selvatica. Set amid a palm grove at the end of the road, it was the perfect getaway for our reunion of old friends. The houses are spacious, airy, and well laidout for both entertaining and individual quite time. There are plenty of things to see and other spots to surf in the area, but trust me, you won't want to leave. Everything you need to entertain your family or the kid inside you is right there. Plus, when the palapa on your patio is one of the lineups from the water why go anywhere else.

  • I have been to Baja many of times. This was my first time to Mexico and I loved it. So green and beautiful. More relaxing than any where I've ever been. So many things to do and explore, or just enjoy relaxing at the house. I will definitely come back and hopefully soon."What a great vacation spot to get away from the responsibilities of life!"
