About this property
Enchanting 5 bedroom Hillside Jungle Villa & Pool Walking Distance to the Beach
This stunning 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom villa has been recently renovated to incorporate the character of old world architecture with the sleek style of modern design. The property sits approximately 100 feet above sea level in the Hills of Mismaloya, a quant fishing village that was put on the map back in 1964 as it served as the backdrop of the classic film, “Night of the Iguana” as well as highly acclaimed Apple TV series "Acapulco". This beach has been the inspiration behind many cinematic creations due to its beauty and charm. Surrounded by nature, this home makes the perfect base camp for the ecotourist. Walk, hike, or even travel by horseback!

About the host
Hosted by Sean Cooke
I am a true Arizona Native, born and raised in the Valley of the Sun. I have been married to my corn husking wife now for 20 years and we have 6 awesome children. I am a corporate pilot and own and operate an agency that helps those with developmental disabilities.
Why they chose this property
My father started taking us to Mismaloya as kids back in the 90’s and I fell in love with the jungle. I have it on VHS as a kid telling my dad that I would live there one day and even proposed to my wife on the beach back in January 2006!
What makes this property unique
The home was originally built back in the late 80s and then abandoned at some point about 10 years later. It was taking back by the jungle until we purchased it in 2021. We added the sky light, the gym and the master bedroom, excavated the pool and incorporated the large boulders that serve as part of the homes foundation. The yard is very large for the area and the Mango tree is older than you or I!
