    LA CASITA CELESTIAL, as the name implies, is a Heavenly Place. From the moment you approach the stone-embedded welcoming mat, you’ll know that you are in for a “stellar” experience.

    Its GRACIOUS CENTRAL ROOM is filled with stars – and a comfortable sitting area, a high-definition television with American and Canadian programming, a cozy kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, and an eclectic library including books on Mexico – its rich history and culture, its politics and tourist attractions, and, especially, its remarkable arts and crafts. You also have super high speed internet service, a rarity in Mexico.

    A large sliding glass door allows you to walk onto THE TERRACE WITH ITS MAGNIFICENT PALAPA, a thatched roof structure used since the time of the Mayans and Aztecs to capture sea breezes and keep COOL.

    Under the palapa is your own private, cooling plunge pool, and classic equipal furniture for dining or relaxing. Surrounding you is lush jungle with its fascinating birds, butterflies and other wildlife.

    There are TWO BEDROOMS, each with its own bath and distinctive character, filled with works of Mexican artists from all around the Republic. Keeping with the celestial theme, one bedroom celebrates the sun rising from the east, with roosters standing as a mute reminder that there is a great day a-dawning. The other celebrates the moon shining out over the Gulf of Cortez with owls keeping watch over your deep and restful sleep. To aid in that sleep, both bedrooms are air-conditioned.

    CASITA CELESTIAL is part of a three-house villa -- VILLA DE VISTAS (The House of Views). LA CASA QUE CANTA (The House that Sings – 6000 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 4 baths) sits on the top of the hill. EL NIDO DE LA TORTUGA (The Nest of the Turtle – 900 sq. ft – two bedrooms, one bath) is nestled into the hillside underneath LA CASA. Another long stairway down leads you to CASITA CELESTIAL.

    About Melissa Roberts

    A note from Melissa and Bill Roberts: Although we know you will be pampered by our staff in San Pancho, we also want you to know a bit about us. We have lived most of our adult life in Middletown, Connecticut, where Melissa has been a school social worker and Bill a clergyman, and then a consultant. When we were in our thirties with three young sons we built a home on Cape Cod, which became a very special place for our family. But as the boys grew up, moved away to the west coast, and had children of their own, we decided to relocate our vacation home to a place more convenient for them. We found this precious little pueblo called San Pancho and built a very impressive home there. Actually, we built three inter-connected homes. We will say more about the town and our homes in a moment, but we want to underscore how important both friends and family are to us. We like to think that anyone who rents will also value friends and family and cherish this exquisite vacation home.

    Why Melissa Roberts chose San Francisco

    San Pancho. The Jewel of the Mexican Rivera. The Cultural Center of the State of Nayarit. A charming little Mexican town which has not yet lost its character even as it has provided hospitality to a relatively small group of Americans and Canadians. We are so grateful for the welcome we have received from the folks who have lived here for generations. But we also pleased to be part of an expatriate community that respects the people and the traditions of the Mexicans. Our guests regularly comment that it is wonderful to be a bit removed from the village. It is quiet here. The primary sounds are the pounding surf, the rustling leaves of the palm trees, and the singing of birds -- some of whom cackle more than they sing. The property provides a perfect combination of surf and turf, in this case the turf is a jungle. The CASITA is one of three homes on this property. It is completely separated from the other two, entered by its own stairway or, in the other direction, by a path through a stunning tropical garden. It has its own dipping pool, its own outdoor sitting area, and a large palapa, which ushers sea breezes into the house.

    What makes this House unique

    We worked with three architects in designing this house. Part of the reason we had so many is that we were determined that we could create characteristics in a single building project which, on the surface, might seem contradictory. But we believe we have been successful in pulling things together. Some examples: 1) The house is utterly open to the natural world, just spilling out into the jungle, yet it can be closed up almost totally, protecting us and providing us with wonderfully intimate places to talk, and eat, and read, and just BE. 2) Our Villa is three homes, which means you can have a large group here, BUT you can also use it as a quiet place for a romantic getaway for two. 3) All three houses have high quality appliances, purified water, and air conditioning. The glassware and the serving dishes, the furniture and the woodworking, the lights and the tiling -- all things that allow us to show off the exquisite Mexican craftsmanship that we have discovered in traveling through the country. 4) We are quite close to the beach and to town, but we are far enough away and are so totally self-sufficient that we avoid the noise and even the traffic of this growing, bustling little pueblo.
