Casa Fortuna is a newly remodeled, hacienda style villa on 1/2 acre of beach front solitude. Located 55 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta airport, transportation to La Penita de Jaltemba is easy by car, taxi or bus. Once you arrive, enjoy watching the gentle ocean, spectacular sunsets, and migrating whales from the wide verandas, float or play volleyball in your own private pool or lounge on the beach and swim in the warm, calm waters of Jaltemba Bay. This is total relaxation!

With the addition of a second floor in 2006, Casa Fortuna boasts 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, making it a perfect retreat for friends and families. The first floor has a fully equipped kitchen, a living area with comfortable sofa and chairs for lounging and table for dining, and one Suite with King bed and adjoining bath. A breezy veranda, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails, runs the entire length of the house on both levels, offering spectacular views of the beach, swaying palms, and the ocean.

The newly built second floor is tiled throughout, with three bedrooms, two Master Suites with king-sized beds, and the third with twin beds, that can be joined to make a king. You will not believe the ocean views that greet you each morning, when you sit up in bed! Linens and pillows are provided. Additional sleeping is available with use of inflatable beds. Two upstairs baths are beautifully finished with hand made Mexican tile, and modern fixtures.

Casa Fortuna is an easy walk from the center of La Penita de Jaltemba, a colorful Mexican town where you will find restaurants, taco stands, grocery stores, meat and fish markets, shopping, disco, Internet shops, kayak and bicycle rentals. The tiangus or community market, is held every Thursday morning in the town square where you can buy handicrafts from Mexico, jewelry, clothing, household goods, produce, seafood, and fresh bread and pastries. Walk or taxi a few miles down the beach to Rincon de Guayabitos, a busy resort town with party boats, whale watching tours, fishing, banana boats, jet skis, para sailing, horseback riding, beach front dining, and karaoke!

After a great evening out, or a wonderful meal prepared at the house by Sandra and Rick, wind down on the veranda, with tea lights flickering around you, the moon shining through the palm trees above, and the music of the waves inviting you to sleep. This is paradise!

Sandra and Rick, our English fluent caretakers live on site in a casita at the back of the property. They are wonderful cooks and can prepare traditional Mexican or American/Canadian style meals at the house for a very reasonable fee. Sandra can also arrange for poolside facials, manicures, pedicures, a relaxing massage or babysit for a relaxing night out without the kids. They can arrange a boat ride to Chacala for lunch, whale watching, a fishing trip on a local panga boat or a driver for an out of town adventure to see the crocodiles in San Blas, the petroglyph's in Alta Vista or maybe down the road to Puerto Vallarta,Sayulita, San Pancho or even Guadalajara.

  • Sherry & Doreen - I wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely amazing time last week at Casa Fortuna! I feel so incredibly relaxed and feel like I got away from it all. Sandy and Rick were wonderful and Sandy's cooking was to die for! Her chicken enchiladas were life changing!!!! They were both so accomodating and helpful. The house is a dream come true. I stayed in the corner room that has the two sliding doors and I felt like I was in heaven! We've decided that we must make it an annual event! Thanks for everything and most especially your patience in setting up one of my best vacations yet!

  • Awesome was our catch phrase the whole time we were there. Our group of 7 consisted of 5 adults & 2 children, ranging in age from 4 to 70. Everyone enjoyed our time at Casa Fortuna and we are looking forward to going back next year. We went in late April and the weather was perfect, not one cloudy day. We had never rented a house before but always wanted to try it. After my first email to the owners I knew this was the place for us. We also hired Sandi to cook breakfast and dinner for our entire stay. Let me tell you, she is the best! We never had to worry about finding a restaurant the kids would eat at or rush thru a meal because the kids wanted to go. Dinner was ready and you could eat whenever and where ever you wanted. Sandi even helped get a cake and a pinata for my birthday dinner. You will not be disappointed staying at Casa Fortuna, only when you have to say goodbye. Thank you for a great time!

  • Wow! What a fantastic place. Our group of 8 long- term friends spent a week at Casa Fortuna at the end of February, 2008. We totally agree with all of the comments of the preceding guests. In a way, Casa Fortuna defies description. It IS simply paradise. An added bonus is an educational one. Besides feeling perfectly at home and not wanting to leave, we learned about the town, some of the enterprising ways the people there make a living - for example, fishing, trimming coconut trees - and we learned about some of the logistical aspects involved in maintaining a home there. The owners and their wonderful staff, Rick and Sandra, have done a first-rate job of making Casa Fortuna the best place our group has ever stayed in our many years of travel together. We only wish we were still there!

  • If your'e seeking a roomy, comfortable beach-side casa on Mexico's west coast that has class to boot, this is it ! Our group consisted of 8 in total - my daughter, her husband, their 5 kids, and myself ( "El Viejo" ), using all four of the bedrooms. Our two week stay at Casa Fortuna from October 10th to 23rd this year was a vacation we'll always remember fondly. We arranged through Sherry to have Rick and Sandra prepare us an "Arrival Dinner" on day one - dorado and many other delicious items. But we succeeded in preparing many of our own meals in the spacious and well-equippd "cocina" but many meals we had out in several of the reasonably priced restaurants in Jaltemba . The views from the 3 upstairs bedrooms are to die for ! - especially the south-west corner room with its huge windows on two sides - the sunsets are breath-taking and having morning coffee on the front veranda most pleasant. The new pool was exceptional - especially on those extra hot, muggy days - what bliss !; cerveza and cooling agua under those tall palms. While the condition of the street leading to the casa is in need of some improvemnt, we soon got used to getting the taxis to slow down ("mas despacio, por favor"). The beach in front is right there - very convenient and "no vendedores" in sight, but do watch small children carefully in the surf - there's a bit of a drop-off in this sector of the beach, but over-all very satisfying - and always warm! Would we go for Casa Fortuna again ? -- Absolutely !

  • Comment Text: We just returned from spending two weeks at Casa Fortuna and would go back in an instant! The house was everything we expected from the accurate pictures and info on the VRBO site, and more...... Everything was set up for maximum enjoyment on a Mexican holiday, right down to the most comfortable floating armchair and beer can holder in the pool ever experienced. The pool was gem and suited us non-swimmers perfectly. I look forward to getting my bookclub, or any other travelers I can round up, to come to Casa Fortuna very soon.

  • First off, the photos on here do not do Casa Fortuna justice! The whole hacienda type “home” is amazingly beautiful with fantastic views and right on the ocean. It is obvious the owners put a lot of thought, energy and money into the whole place to make it not only gorgeous but very comfortable. Everything you could want or need is there and we had such a fabulous vacation as it felt like “home” but soooo much better than our home? We loved just lounging around watching the ocean, swimming in the pool, grilling steaks and having dinner or making breakfast and having coffee looking at the ocean and wishing we lived here. I also received an info pack about the area and such and booked an in-house massage on afternoon. That was awesome and inexpensive. Such a treat! We have stayed at many places in Mexico but this was by far our favorite when we consider location, amenities and the price. A BARGAIN! We will for sure go back as the whole time there we were planning on getting some friends together to spend a week in the future. Too bad we already had our wedding planned as this would have been a perfect place for a nice little beachside wedding. In the end, we were sad to leave as we had a perfectly relaxing and wonderful vacation. I highly recommend staying here- you will not be disappointed and the owners are great on providing info and making sure you have a fabulous time!
