This was truly one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in! The views were amazing (pictures don't do them justice), the beds were very comfortable, the amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms were just what we needed. The service here was top notch! We had groceries waiting, help carrying some of our heavy luggage, a boat with great captains to go fishing (minimal fee)and dinner and breakfast made for us (along with having the cleanup done for us-minimal fee). The hike up the hill is something to be aware of but take your time and enjoy the beautiful jungle and it is no issue. I am so thankful Steve shared this beautiful place with us and we were so thankful for the host family and how accommodating they all were. On top of the beautiful location, Yalapa was heavenly! The beaches, the food, the cute cobble stone walk ways and above all the wonderful people. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon!

Casa Gratitud was everything we hoped it would be. We enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous home overlooking the bay. The home was clean and well appointed with most everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing weeklong stay. Do be warned that there are 200 stairs from the trail to the house. We enjoyed the daily workout and the view is worth it!Make sure that the water taxi drops you off at the correct pier when you arrive as there are two in the town. We didn’t know and arrived to the wrong one. Yelapa is a charming town that is a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Everyone was so friendly and the fresh shrimp ceviche, guacamole, and groceries awaiting us at the house were a huge hit! Thank you Yanet!

Casa Gratitud was a beautiful reprieve and place to relax while enjoying the Mexican Bay of Banderas in the quaint fishing village of Yelapa. The house sits well above the coast affording a view that never grows old with whales spouting and playing almost every day. The landscaping surrounding the home is beautiful, blending in with the natural, lush landscape of palm trees, banana trees, and other rainforest type vegetation. The three levels of the home made for just the right amount of space for a family to spread out and not feel cramped, but the main living area was where we could hang out all together very comfortably. The patio provided outdoor seating for dining and games, but the kitchen bar was convenient for grabbing quick breakfasts and snacks. The kitchen was clean and stocked well enough for us to eat almost all of our breakfasts in the house, as well as to prepare two meals. (The food in Yelapa was wonderful too, however, so preparing meals is not completely necessary.)Although the weather was cloudy and not as warm as we had hoped for, Casa Graditud saved the trip, making our family vacation memorable, relaxing, and beautiful!

This house is so amazing and the hosts were really fantastic and helpful. Tucked up a large hill in the jungle with amazing views.
The steps to the house are up a large hill and very steep and are not for elderly or really young kids. Would definitely stay there again
