LA CASA GRANDE
"LA CASA GRANDE" IS A LARGE TWO BEDROOM HOUSE with a double bed in each bedroom. An alcove off the living room has a settee for a smaller person or child. A portable crib or playpen is also available for a small child. Large airy colorful rooms, high ceilings w/large 4 speed fans. Quality furnishings. One large bathroom. The back porch has clothes lines for hanging wet items.
"LA CASITA": A large separate studio for 1-2 persons, private location; two twin beds convert to a king. Delightful Mexican decor. Excellent natural ventilation & large 4 speed ceiling fans. Look out on courtyard gardens, Pacific Ocean & a lovely pool.
We feature OUTDOOR LIVING choices for maximum exposure to an ideal balmy winter climate. Each guest house has additional choices for dining with an outside table w/oversize umbrella & lounges plus an UPPER DECK with tables & cushioned lounges.
UNIQUE EXCURSIONS are offered, most with host Jerry Einem as your naturalist guide. He has a Masters in Biology and has led many natural history tours in Costa Rica, Mexico, & Peru. He offers complimentary local nature walks & has recorded over 100 bird species locally & compiled a list of the trees of Nayarit. He can also introduce you to all the other wildlife and plants.
We provide detailed info on dining out, shopping, & local events. Our villa is located in La Penita de Jaltemba, a town adjoining Rincon de Guayabitos on Jaltemba Bay.
Pamper your senses with BREATHTAKING PANORAMIC VIEWS our guests claim are "beyond beautiful": Sunsets that fill the sky, foothills & cliffs, beaches, coves, valleys and mountains surround us, and all are visible from our raised covered deck. You see them as you walk down our hill. DINE under the stars in the courtyard or up on the upper deck with the twinkling lights of the shrimp boats and villages on Jaltemba Bay.
PERFECT WINTER WEATHER November thru April, the DRY season. You can depend on balmy Pacific breezes, sunny skies, and a temperature low of 62F (17C) nights & up to 80F (27C) at noon. Our villa is on a hill with no obstacles to ocean breezes - always 5-10F degrees cooler on a hot day than complexes on the ocean or in the shopping center.
THE BEACHES: Several miles of varied beaches span this crescent bay. Walk less than 1/2 km to the Pacific, or take a $2 cab ride.
LA PENITA is a friendly seaside town where you can experience firsthand authentic Mexican culture - A wonderful variety of fresh produce & outstanding seafood at unbelievably low prices. Walk 2 blocks to a family 'mini-super'. The Thursday AM market in the church square is a MUST with its local produce, indigenous natives in costume, and Artisans from many countries alongside the local craftsmen. LA PENITA has a bank & ATM, laundry at the foot of our hill, cambios, internet cafes, specialty shops, discos, & many restaurants - these resources are not available in most other towns of the area. What a treat to be 'modern' yet be where hens still roam with their chicks and men can be seen riding donkeys along the roadside, & roosters greet the dawn.
COLORFUL FIESTAS - La Penita is the only town outside Puerto Vallarta, on this long coastal stretch, that celebrates ALL the Mexican fiestas including the 5 day "CARNIVAL" just before Lent: street dancing, mariachis, parades, rodeos. On Mexican holidays, listen to the bands & watch the fireworks from our deck!
SAFE WALKING - This area is nearly crime free, usually a TV or bicycle theft. You see so much more walking than looking out a car window. Enjoy the night sights & activities without worry.
EASY ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE - An excellent doctor is 3 blocks away. Several pharmacies, dentists, clinic & lab are within .3 mile.
EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION - (1) AIRPORT PICKUP: We can make arrangements for your arrival or departure in a luxury super-van w/bi-lingual driver for $60 that accommodates up to 6 persons & luggage to/from our villa (2) OR take a taxi to the bus terminal near the airport for $16 (3) La Penita has its own bus terminal - a trip to Puerto Vallarta is 60 pesos. There's a lineup of local 'combis' & many taxis. Public travel is easy & inexpensive.
