About this property

One block to the beach! Three blocks to plaza, stores and public transit

Practical, simple accommodation one block from the beach! Great for experienced travelers who want to unplug and enjoy local culture.

Minutes from the downtown square, public transit, restaurants, sports bar, and grocery stores.

Beautiful, older casita with hacienda style vintage furniture and lots of natural light. One block from the beach. You can hear the surf from the patio and with the windows open.

Fully furnished living, dining, lounge, patio, and bedrooms. Comfy mattresses and quality linens and pillows. Kitchen equipped for those who love to cook - new hot water heater and gas stove with oven, fridge, toaster, blender, frying & sauce pans.
Open plan due to first bedroom divided off by decorative concrete block and second room without door. Curtains provide partial visual privacy. A small safe is provided for your valuables.

Two boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella and 2 beach towels provided.

***PLEASE INQUIRE for lower Monthly / Summer Rates***

NOTE: bedrooms are not closed off from one another and it has more the feel of one big open space. This is traditional in many local homes. While the casita can sleep more than 4, please consider the open floor plan before booking.

House has WiFi but internet in village is inconsistent. House has four ceiling fans for ventilation. No air conditioning nor clothes washing machine. There is a full service laundromat three blocks away.

Bathroom, while functional, has low water pressure .

SAFETY for CHILDREN / ACCESSIBILITY: There is a recently constructed upper shaded patio with a minimal hand rail and narrow, spiral stairwell. Some electricity is surface run and homes in this area are not wired with grounded outlets.

NOISE: Casita Estrella is located in the vibrant center of town where there can be much activity. Neighbors have chickens, dogs and roosters. It is next to the local Catholic Church and the bells are loud. Once or twice a week, there is a "Rooster Mass," as the locals joke, meaning the church bells are rung at 6:30am in time with the local roosters crowing. Also, the house is off a square used for basketball and soccer play, so games go on a few nights a week. We love hearing the locals (adults and children) playing sports, like having a live sports feed. There can be a game playing or a bouncing basketball until 11pm at night. Basketball and soccer ball provided. Neighbors play traditional music loud on occasion.

About the host

Host profile image
I traveled much of my life and love children, animals and art! My child is the center of my world. I adore drawing and photography. I am half Italian and half Hungarian. I speak a few languages, including Spanish, Italian, French and English.

I work as a project manager in public health. I worked as a PM/designer focused on commercial interiors and fixturing. I am a lifelong activist, primarily in reproductive health. I spent quarantine working at my local health department to prevent Covid-19 in the community.

I look forward to staying in your place or hosting you at ours!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Close to everything in the pueblo and a block off the beach. Lo De Marcos has a tranquil and slow pace. I've traveled to Mexico ever since I was a little girl. I learned to walk, talk and swim in Campeche on the Gulf of Mexico and have watched the Riviera Nayarit grow into an international destination.
