Our group was thrilled with this house, both the parents and the teen-aged surfers in our party. The floorpan of the house was great for togetherness when we wanted it, and privacy when we needed seclusion. Dora the chef and housekeeper is wonderful! Ernesto was immediately responsive to all our questions. The location and view could not be beat. We had a magical and memorable vacation.

Casa Paloma was lovely! The house was beautiful and each room was private and had an individual bathroom. The house was easily accessible to town with a golf cart or walking. The house managers were so helpful and responsive. We hired the chefs and masseuses on a Saturday afternoon and it made for the perfect relaxing pool day. Would definitely return to Casa Paloma!

Casa Paloma was perfect for Our family of 12 (8 adults and 4 toddlers) in every way. The layout of the different levels and the architectural details were so artfully done. The openness and the north facing views made every time of the day comfortably cool and breezy. The special bonus was Dora the cook and housekeeper who came everyday which was such a treat! The size, location of the pool and the pool bathrooms worked perfectly. The bedrooms were all large and comfortable with air conditioning, which is essential with the loud Sayulita night life. The location was amazing in that we were minutes away from the best restaurants, shopping and activity, but we still felt like the Casa was very private and safe. And the views! The views were amazing. Our family has stayed in some incredible properties and Casa Paloma rates at the top! Thank you Dennis, Indigo, Ernesto and Dora! Everything was perfect!

Wonderful Family Vacation Our stay at Casa Paloma was nothing short of spectacular! The moment we arrived we were amazed at the beauty, privacy, and the gorgeous gardens of this property - not to mention the incredible ocean views! Also, its location is perfect - a short walk to town and beach. Each bedroom room having its own bathroom was great. And we really enjoyed the stunning Mexican art everywhere! The highlight for our kids was undoubtedly the lovely pool, where they spent hours splashing and playing, creating cherished memories. Also, we all felt completely safe at Casa Paloma. It is surrounded by high walls with spikes and there is a security guard out front at night. There are locks on all doors and large safes in every bedroom. We all felt this was the best extended family vacation ever and we will return.

Beautiful place with lovely art and furnishings. The open design for dining and kitchen on second floor looking out over the beach was perfect. Between the pool on the first level and the hammock on the third, and semiprivate decks off of bedrooms, it was perfect for spreading out, or all gathering together. Prior to arrival we received helpful information and offers for in-home services, although we didn’t partake of these. We don’t usually stay at this level of luxury, but this was a special occasion and we were extremely satisfied with the house and host.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Paloma. It was safe, relaxing and had a fantastic view. Best part is the short walk to town.. Would go back again.

Beautiful yet be warned of theft. During our stay someone came into the bedrooms while we were sleeping and stole cash and jewelry. We believe this happened sometime during the night between 1 AM and 5 AM while we were sleeping, as the jewelry and cash stolen was with us until we went to sleep. We notified the property manager, Ernesto, and owner, Dennis, immediately the next morning. The property manager was polite and apologetic. We never heard back from the owner of the house. No one took any action in changing the door codes. Each bedroom did have an electronic keypad lock, however the bedroom codes for the keypad lock are the same codes as the main front door. Each bedroom has a safe that has the ability to set your own personalized code. Unfortunately, we did not use the safe prior to our jewelry and cash being stolen. The robbery lead to the rest of our vacation with restless nights, worrying about another invasion of privacy and our safety. We hope safety measures improve.

As the owner of Casa Paloma, of course, I am very sad to hear of any problems encountered by our guests, especially since we have been renting our Sayulita Oceanfront Estate for over 15 years and have more 5 star reviews than any other property in Sayulita. I must say that I find this renter's suggestion of a break-in rather suspect. Only renters get the door codes, our property is completed enclosed by very high walls with metals spikes on top and we have 2 security guards out front every night and after checking the entire property there was no sign of any break-in. Also, our property manager greets all guests and tells them to ALWAYS lock their money and valuables in the large safes in each bedroom. And to always lock all doors. Toward the end of their stay a renter called my property manager and said that someone had come into his bedroom between 9:00am and noon that day and taken money out of his wallet and stolen a wedding ring left in a back pack on the dining room table. My manager told him this seems rather odd since the only person in the property besides the rental group was Dora, our housekeeper who has been with us for over 12 years and no one has ever reported anything stolen during the time she has been there. When my property manager then met the guest in person, he had changed his story and now said that the money was taken from his wallet between 1:00am and 5:00am the night before. I know there is petty theft in Sayulita, that is why we have so much protection at our property. But we have not heard of any break-ins or thefts at Casa Paloma for many many years. And I have never ever heard of someone taking money out of a wallet. If someone breaks-in, they take the wallet and run. They do not spend time going through it. And a wedding ring left in a backpack? Bottom-line, I certainly hate hearing anything like this, but perhaps they spent the money and lost the ring. And why would they not use the safes and lock the doors? Please read our amazing reviews in Sayulita Life and VRBO to hear what 100s of rental groups have said about their time at Casa Paloma. I think this will give anyone a much more realistic view of what one can expect when renting Casa Paloma.

We chose this house for our annual family gathering, and feel it more than surpassed our expectations. It was perfect for our family of 12 adults and 3 kids - each couple/family unit had private space, and the public gathering space was ample for meals, game nights and morning coffee with the kids. The location, walkable to both the beach and the town within minutes, was perfect for us. Even the youngest kids could easily walk up and down the hill to the beach. It may be our favorite place we’ve ever gone, and that includes lots of locations around the world! The pool was perfect for both the littles and the bigs. Sayulita itself is a charming, walkable village, and the beach and weather are perfect. We would highly recommend this home to large families or groups looking for the perfect vacation spot!

Loved staying at casa Paloma with the fam! Easy check in. Ernesto was quick with any of our needs for transportation and golf cart rentals. Dora was the sweetest little cleaner and took great care of us. Views were amazing. House had everything we needed. Quick walk down the hill to shops and dining. Just a tip, run the water to get it hot. Only takes a minute but it’ll get there! Every room has a private bathroom and the multilevel kitchens were a plus . Pool was a good temp, and outdoor bathrooms for the kids were a plus!

Casa Paloma is a magnificent home! Beautifully designed, offering privacy for all staying and amazing views! We originally planned on only one meal to be prepared by chef Dora, however we ended having her cook all dinner meals except one!!! She was so wonderful!!! Even offered cooking tips to those of us interested. The only notes of recommendation is that for the money we spent to stay at Casa Paloma, it would have been nice to have newer or kept up bedding and home essentials. There were a few areas of the home that looked like they haven’t been kept up as good as they could/should be. In addition, the water temperature and pressure was very very unreliable, which could easily be the area of the home not necessarily anything that could be rectified by the owner. All in all it was an amazing stay! Ernesto and Dora were extremely accommodating!!! I would highly recommend Casa Paloma!!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Paloma. The views and location are excellent. Short walk to the beach and to the town. We especially loved and used often the big open dining room to deck overlooking the beach. Dora, the housekeeper and cook was excellent - she made us breakfast and lunch daily and was happy to accommodate our various dietary requests. Ernesto was very responsive to any questions we had and dropped by immediately to fix things as requested. The house is large and well appointed - the local art displayed throughout is original and a step above the usual which was quite delightful. Three of the bedrooms are amazing with big doors opening onto west (ocean facing) decks west. The other three rooms not so much so this is something to be aware of if you are planning on using all of them and everyone is chipping in the same amount of money as it won't seem fair. Something to discuss before you arrive.

Casa Paloma was the perfect place to celebrate our birthday with friends in paradise. The house is well suited for a large group with plenty of space to hang out together and privacy with every beautifully appointed room. The views are exceptional, the decor is beautiful and each bedroom was comfy, private, and had its own bathroom. The pool is fabulous...kept in the shade with its own outdoor shower and toilet so no need to track water in the house when enjoying pool time. The staff was first class...Dora not only kept the house clean but cooked some of the most amazing authentic Mexican food we've ever had. Ernesto ensured our grocery delivery was set up on arrival and helped arrange a handy golf cart rental for us which was delivered and picked up at the house. He even arranged for massage therapists to come on site-and they were incredible...better than therapists at most spas in the US. He also was on call for any questions and handled all our needs flawlessly. It is hard to plan 5 days away with a large group. Casa Paloma made it all easy allowing us to unplug on arrival. Will absolutely be back!

THIS. HOUSE. If you want the full experience of living in a lush, tropical oasis while enjoying the pleasures of modern necessities like air conditioning and hot water, this is your place! The indoor-outdoor living space was better than I imagined. You feel one with nature hanging on the terrace, eating breakfast and dinner together, or listening to music and vining with your friends, yet still have the privacy and comfort(ac) in your sleeping quarters. This house provided more than enough room for all 12 of us, Dora is an amazing cook, the location is literally unbeatable… and the view. THE VIEW. We sat on the upstairs terrace every morning and every evening taking the views in. It truly is a beautiful oasis and I could not have chosen a better place for our stay. You will not regret choosing this for your stay in Sayulita!

We loved this house! The location is outstanding. So easy to walk to town and the beach. We utilized, Dora, the chef and she was a great cook, punctual and so kind. The pool was perfect for our kids, as it provided a place for the toddlers to be able to stand. We loved having separate spaces for our two families as well. There were some small ants in the entryways but probably unavoidable considering how the house is laid out. We loved being able to request certain luxuries on the request form and the communication was pretty great overall. However we didn’t get confirmation of certain activities that we requested until we asked upon arrival and wish we would’ve had that planned and set ahead of time.

My family of 9 stayed at this wonderful property, which is so close to the beach and downtown. The house is on two levels with an area to hang out at the top. The rooms were nice and spacious. It’s mostly outdoor living with enclosed rooms. The pool was was great for my 3 year old. You can’t beat the views from this house. Absolutely recommend!

Awesome spot for a large group. Super close to town, no need for a golf cart. The communication was incredible from start to finish. Indigo checked in with us after the booking was made and also sent a guide a few weeks beforehand that included a questionnaire to collect room arrangement requests, airport transfers, private chefs, etc etc. anything you can think of they help set up for you on the front end. When you arrive, Ernesto greets you and is available via text or WhatsApp throughout the whole trip. Dora was amazing and cooked some incredible meals for us. Overall just high end service that went a long way. The house itself was also really cool. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of space, AC working in every room, and the pool was nice to hang out at. I highly recommend booking Casa Paloma for your next trip!

Our stay at Casa Paloma was a dream. From the minute we walked in until the moment we left our hosts were on top of it and available to us at any time! The property was a dream with gorgeous views and so close to the town. Very clean and very helpful staff. Definitely recommend Casa Paloma! We will be back! Thank you Dennis.

Dennis’s house was magical — we couldn’t have imagined a better accommodation and location. We recommend to anyone looking to experience Sayulita. Ernesto, who assisted us during our stay, made sure we had everything we needed. He was extremely attentive and responsive and we could not have asked for more!

Have Dora cook for you! She made our stay! Didn’t have hammocks on the roof like the listing portrays. WiFi not strong enough for video meetings. Amazing location & view.

This was our first family trip this year and we decided to stay in Sayulita. There was about 14 of us including kids and we booked the entire house. The rooms were unique and larger, one room even had a kitchenette. Uppon arrival Ernesto gave as a tour of the property, the house was clean and ready for us to use. Each room had AC and kept us veery cool during the night. The Living space was big enough for our family to gather and enjoy the eavenings. The space was very nice and staff was very attentive during our stay. This is a perfect location since it is only about 1 block away from the beach and a very short walking distance to the down town are. Would definitely visit again, well worth the money for unforgettable memories.

Simply amazing! I have nothing negative to say about our stay. Everything was perfection. Great location (though I do recommend renting a golf cart if you have young children), great home, great staff, great everything. Ernesto was so helpful and was available whenever we needed him. This was our first time to Sayulita and we already want to return. When we do, we plan to rent this home again. It is perfectly set up for a few different families to vacation together and still have their own space. Loved everything about it! Thanks, Dennis! *Tip - get Selena to make you dinner every.single.night. Best food we had the entire trip. :)

We brought our staff on a retreat and stayed at Dennis’s house. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out (they all had their own bathrooms). It would be a great space to bring a few families with kids to. The location was great, very close to the beach and town. We had an amazing person, Dora, help clean every day. We were also able to hire someone to help with a few meals. If you’re looking for a large space to relax in and be taken care of...this is it!

Casa Paloma was the perfect place for our family vacation. There were nine of us and we had room to spare. The Casa was outfitted with all kinds of unique treasures, the views breathtaking , the grandkids swam everyday in the pool (in addition to the ocean), the walk to the heart of town took maybe 2-3 minutes, the service provided by our local host Ernesto was superb and Dora kept the place looking great.. (she’s also a talented chef who cooked a number of meals for us). If you are thinking about a trip to Sayulita and want a beautifully appointed, larger space with room for 10 or 12, you can’t go wrong with Casa Paloma.

Sweeping views of the ocean and a very short stroll to the beach and town. Perfect location close to the action yet far enough removed to allow for quiet and privacy. The bedrooms were nicely appointed and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed Selena’s cooking. The breakfasts were a highlight of our stay! It would have been helpful to have a binder with local recommendations. That said, Ernesto came through with some restaurant suggestions. We really enjoyed our getaway and look forward to visiting Sayulita again.

Casa Palomar was absolutely amazing! Location was key and the photos of the house does not do the place justice. There were 7 of us who stayed there for the long weekend and we had so much more room for additional people if they came. We loved place so much that we barely left the house. Communication was good as you connect with Dennis’ property manager who lives in Sayulita. We had one issue with water in one of the 6 bathrooms, but they quickly resolved it in one day. Views were amazing especially since we didn’t have to walk up a huge hill to get there compared to others we’ve stayed at in the past. (By no means, there still is a hill but I didn’t think it was that bad) Definitely going to stay here again!
