Overview
Casa Melissa has 4 Bedrooms, w/detached 5th bdrm suite -4 Baths, (Sleeps 10 max)
Casa Melissa is a unique private estate featuring breathtaking 180 degree views of the Pacific. Located on a point overlooking the Pacific, the views from Casa Melissa are uninterrupted and spectacular. Yet you can easily walk to San Pancho on the wide sandy beach.
You can view the coastline from Punta Sayulita in the south to the outline of San Blas to the north. If you move your gaze to the east, you can view the beautiful tropical palm jungle.
Casa Melissa is tropical Mexico as you dreamed it would be. During the day watch whales, dolphins and rays pass below as you enjoy a drink on the terrace or relax in the pool. In the evening the sunsets are breathtaking!
Amenities of the villa include 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a private lighted tennis court and a heated 'Infinity' swimming pool.
All rooms in Casa Melissa have ocean views and fans.
Doors and windows have screens so you can get the tropical air without any tropical bugs! Or you can use the air conditioning - available in all the bedrooms.
The Casita, a 5th bedroom suite, features a queen bed, ceiling fan, air conditioner, full bathroom and a kitchenette. Its large ocean view terrace and overlooks the tennis court.
The maximum number of guests at Casa Melissa is 10, but smaller groups only pay for the bedrooms they use.
Casa Melissa is for those who want to get away from it all, and to relax in luxury surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mexican Riviera.
Maid service is included Monday through Saturday.
The staff will even grocery shop for you before you arrive - you just pay for the groceries!
We want to make your stay at Casa Melissa a true vacation.
Whales migrate along the coast between December and April. See them from the terrace or get close-up on a boat in the Bay of Banderas.
Nature lovers can enjoy tropical birds flying by at eye level or go on a bird watching tour. See iguanas, geckos, tejones or tour the turtle nursery and help release baby turtles into the ocean. Ocean kayaking, snorkeling and hiking in the palm jungle or walking on the mile long sandy beach are a few of the best ways to enjoy this tropical paradise.
The small town of San Pancho is unique. It has an active polo community and a polo field, a yoga center, a nine hole golf course and fabulous restaurants. There are many shops and a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance of Casa Melissa.
Events during the year include a national surfing contest, annual music festival, and Art Walk Friday nights in the winter. Or rent a car and explore the whole area.
Besides fabulous views, Casa Melissa has a private lighted tennis court. The tennis court is a special Australian product that is used in the tropics, a synthetic grass surface topped with sand. It plays like clay but is ready for play 15 minutes after a rain shower (very important in the summer). The other great thing about the court is that it slows the game down - great if you are playing mixed doubles. What makes this tennis court unique is that it has an ocean view! Try not to get distracted by the pelicans flying by as you play the game.
Casa Melissa has three bedrooms for the quoted price. The fourth bedroom in the main house and the nearby Casita bedroom suite are available for rent for an extra charge. The Casita is only rented as part of Casa Melissa. You would never share this beautiful estate with other renters.

About Melissa McCann
We are a family of 4. We have always spent part of the winter in Mexico. When we discovered San Pancho we knew this was the place where we wanted to build a house. We built the house to fit our family, so each of the kids had their own bedroom and could have a friend come down and vacation with them, plus we have an extra bedroom for the parents.
Melissa McCann purchased this house in 1999
Why Melissa McCann chose Nayarit
We were lucky enough to visit San Pancho before it was 'discovered'. When we saw this property with its incredible views we knew we had to buy it. We see more of the coast/ocean then any other property in the area! It is magical. Arriving at Casa Melissa and looking at the view is immediately relaxing. My favorite thing is to swim in the pool mesmerized by the views in each direction.
My husband and I disagreed on only one thing - which was the better view, the view to the south looking at Punta Sayulita or the view to the north looking at a series of small beaches. So most of the house has views to the south, but the master bedroom has views in both directions and has a balcony on the north side as well as opening to the terrace on the south side. In the mornings I sit in the dining room looking north and he sits at the opposite end of the table looking south. We worked it out.
What makes this house unique
Besides the fabulous view, we had to have a tennis court. We built one made out of an Australian product that is sand and astro-turf. It plays like clay but is ready for play 15 minutes after the rain ends (very important in the summer). The other great thing about the court is that it slows the game down - great if you are playing mixed doubles or singles with your husband. Oh and the other great thing about the court is that it has an ocean view. Try not to get distracted by the pelicans flying over the ocean as you play the game.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I would like to tell you that our trip was wonderful. You have such a lovely home and the vista and pool are exquisite. We so enjoyed our whale sightings, our single female iguana, and loved the black vultures. They are so cool and just simply own the pool. We were the interlopers.
The town is very comfortable and we met some nice locals and expats. The beaches are Wow, but we had to watch the pull of the tides. They seemed stronger than they looker, and we are older than we feel!
Your wonderful housekeeper is a gem, and we probably didn’t give her enough tip, but we didn’t use her services very much. She is very insightful, obviously loves the local birdlife and wildlife. She was a real pleasure to talk to.
We would like to explore the possibility of visiting again, and thought of a visit during the spring of 2018, for 10 – 14 days. Probably late Feb to mid March.
Once again Melissa, you possess a most beautiful home and we were humbled to be visitors and enjoy the beauty.

Heaven on Earth
For our family with adult children, Casa Melissa was a dream come true, an oasis of beauty and tranquility, an opportunity to relax in isolation with no fear of having our hard-earned vacation ruined by outsiders. It's hard to believe, but the photos of Casa Melissa don't do it justice and the comments in the reviews don't describe the whole story. Rather than feeling like we were invading someone's private home, we were treated like resort guests, from the private chefs to the spa towels and personal water bottles. We ventured into town one day but stayed by the (magnificent) pool the rest of the trip, drinking in the views and drinking up the margaritas. The only thing we didn't enjoy about Casa Melissa was leaving it!
Lovely place for a getaway
House was very well maintained and had everything we needed. The pool was a delight. It was a bit isolated which was good. We used taxi recommended by Iris to go to San Pancho and Sayulita. She was always helpful no matter what we asked. It was hot in Mexico in August. The bedrooms are air conditioned, but not the rest of the house. That said, our stay was delightful. We would return, but at a different time of year
Perfection...
This place was just perfect. The view, the house, the staff, the owner, the property manager, the food, the price, the location, the beds... just perfect! We travel a lot and are all planning on coming back to Casa Melissa again!
Gorgeous views!
We loved our stay at Casa Melissa! We had a great family vacation with 10 people & there was plenty of room for everyone. The views up and down the coast were magnificent! One of our favorite things to do was just lay in the pool & watch the birds fly by at eye level. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Beautiful property.
How happy were we when we drove up to this spectacular oasis. We were In awe of the View, design of the home to catch the breeze, sun and the sunset The space was perfect for cooking, visiting and dining. We hang out on the plentiful lawn chairs, swam in infinity pool while we recieved excellent wi fi connection. Great location ...We hiked the Buddha loop (4 hours) walked into San Pancho(20 minutes) . The decor was Mexican style. The grounds were emaculately kept.
We are coming back for sure. Thanks Iris and Melissa for being so responsive in our needs and requests.
Can't wait to go back
The most beautiful vacation home we have ever stayed. We loved that it was secluded away from neighbors. Iris and Otto were so helpful and the chefs Cooked delicious meals. We just could not get over how beautiful the view was. We can't wait to go back next year.
