About this house rental
Property comprising a main house for 6 (or 7, if you have a young child—we have a pack 'n' play for you) and a bungalow for 2, both with access to the main garden and pool. 4 bedrooms total, each with a private bathroom, two fully equipped kitchens, a dining room, a living room, gardens, terraces, a 6.5-by-16.5-ft pool with an outdoor shower, a garage with a charging station for golf carts, and reliable internet. Cleanings are included during your stay!
(Mostly) quiet neighborhood, but on a side street that can get noisy. A 6-minute walk to the central square, and another minute to the main beach.
The space
With its intertwining indoor and outdoor spaces, the house’s design combines traditional Mediterranean architecture with American and tropical styles. Every room opens onto two opposite sides, allowing a breeze to flow through. Almost all rooms have access to an outdoor space, whether it’s a garden, a terrace, or at least a balcony. All downstairs rooms open to outdoor spaces on both sides. The bungalow is a single open space featuring an indoor garden and a private outdoor area.
Guest access
The houses, gardens, and pool are entirely yours alone. No space at all is shared with anyone else.
There is an utility room adjacent to the kitchen that we ask you not to enter; all other spaces are open for you to use.
Other things to note
Quiet use only — PLEASE NOTE
The house is located in a typically quiet residential area, and we live in another house on the property ourselves. Please refrain from loud parties at all times, and respect quiet hours after 10 p.m. Please understand that even shouting and very loud talking by the pool or on the terraces can make it difficult for everyone nearby to sleep.

NOROVIRUS: You may have come across reports of the 2024 norovirus outbreak in Sayulita. There was indeed such an outbreak, mainly in February. It appears to have been subsiding for some time now. We’ve put together a short list of simple hygiene recommendations, most of which are advisable in Mexico at any time. By following them, we—who live here ourselves—have not gotten sick. The same goes for the last groups of guests we hosted. Understandably, those who post about it on public websites are mainly those who got sick and are upset. I don’t mean to accuse them of being careless—accidents happen. What I do mean to say is that it’s possible to live in Sayulita without getting sick. We’re happy to provide this hygiene guide to potential guests and anyone else who’s interested—just ask.

Amenities (in addition to those listed on Airbnb):
— beach towels
— coffee makers, including both French presses and authentic moka pots (Italian stovetop)
— dishwasher
— USB power outlets, two on each nightstand
and more. Just ask.
LAUNDRY SERVICE ONLY: Guests do not have direct access to the washers (due to repeated incidents of damage caused by guests). We are happy to wash, dry, and fold your laundry for you between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., except on Sundays, free of charge.
Wi-Fi
Strong and reliable internet access, with an average of about 50 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload (see test results in the image section). Even during a power outage, access remains available for about an hour thanks to an uninterruptible power supply for the router and LAN.
Cleaning Service
We offer complimentary cleaning approximately every other day at a time convenient for you (roughly between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.). (On rare occasions, this may not be possible due to illness or some other serious reason—we’re not a hotel with a large staff).
This is not mandatory. If you’d prefer that we not come in, we’ll leave a cleaning kit, fresh towels, and bed sheets outside for you.
There is one exception: To water the plants on the upper terraces and in the back gardens, our gardener will need to come through once a day. However, he will never come unannounced.
Garage
The doors lock; the garage fits cars up to 16.4 ft long, 9.8 wide, and 6.5 high (or a little more).
Water
For drinking water, we have a filtered water tap (dedicated faucet) in the kitchen. Ice cubes in the fridge are also filtered (the fridge has its own water filter).
Beds
— Duvets instead of blankets (and honestly, we haven’t had a single guest yet who didn’t prefer them over a wool blanket with a sheet). Choose between a king-size single duvet for two or two individual duvets, one for each person.
— We can split one of the three double beds into two single beds if you prefer; the same goes for the bed in the smaller house. Just let us know.
Kids
Children are most welcome. We provide two high chairs and two pack-and-play cribs, as well as some beach toys. If you have any special needs beyond that, feel free to ask. (Please note that the stairs and pool are currently unsecured—enclosing the pool would require major alterations and would interfere with most typical pool activities, and since most parents don’t see a need for it, we’ve decided to leave it as is.)
Power
Sometimes in the summer (and, more recently, though rarely, also in the winter), power outages affect the entire village or parts of it. They rarely last very long and seldom occur overnight, but they do happen. Sometimes they’re related to hurricanes, sometimes not. They can be a nuisance, particularly at bedtime when it’s very warm and both the air conditioning and fans stop working. If this happens, it usually helps a bit if each bedroom has windows on opposite sides, which, when opened, provide some airflow. This isn’t an option during hurricanes, though. We provide a sheet explaining what (else) to do in the event of a power outage (and/or hurricane). We also provide an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to keep the internet running for a while during shorter outages. Please understand that we are (so far) unable to provide emergency power generators, as they are quite expensive and would require higher rent.
Pool
Saltwater, unheated and in the shade most of the time, so in winter, it can be a bit cold.
Insects
The house is surrounded by gardens—some smaller, some larger—and is located in a tropical jungle, not in a city. Unless we pave or spray everything with insecticide, sometimes small creatures get inside (mainly ants, as well as other insects and beetles—but they come from the forest and garden, not from trash or indoor nests, and as garden insects, they’re harmless, though some people find them unsettling), especially during the rainy season (summer). We do, however, provide two types of bug spray—cinnamon-based and chemical—and if you’re bothered by ants, let us know; we can also set up traps.
Noise
Please note that this is not a resort but an actual Mexican village. Noisy vehicles do pass by, a dog sometimes barks, there may be construction work two lots down the road at some point, and on rare occasions, people party in the neighborhood (we’ll try to stop them if that happens). But in fact, it’s very quiet most of the time. However, we cannot promise total silence at all times.
(One more thing: The lot behind our house was sold some time ago. It is huge, covering the entire slope, and there is already a house at the top of it. Still, it’s possible that at some point, something will be built there, in which case construction noise might be audible. It would likely be faint in the garden, but the bedroom windows all open to both sides and would pick up more of the noise if there is any. In fact, no place in Sayulita can guarantee that there won’t be construction by the time you arrive unless you book just a few days before your stay. I still like to point this out.)
Check-In
can in many cases be earlier than 4 p.m. If previous guests are leaving on the same day you check in, we may need some time to thoroughly clean the house. In any case, you can drop off your luggage before check-in time.
Yoga
We offer private yoga classes on our rooftop with Diane from Wanderlust/Sayulita, a Yoga Alliance-certified yoga instructor. She teaches Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, Yin, and Restorative Yoga and can adapt her classes to suit all levels; she also provides mats and blocks. If you’re interested, please let us know. We’ll provide references if you’d like, and either put you in touch with her or schedule classes for you.
