We had a great family trip and will be back!

Amazing home!! Our trip to Saladita was made extra special by staying at Casa Palapa. The beach, location, amenities were outstanding. After 9 beautiful days, We know we couldn’t have stayed somewhere better. Kris, Rocio, David, and Griselda were very helpful and made us feel right at home. Would highly recommend

I couldn’t recommend it more. We had the most wonderful time! The place has such good vibres it has all what you need for a peaceful vacation. The house is clean and the beds are comfortable. We are definitely coming back. Thank you for having us !

Completely blown away with the property. Had a hard time leaving the pool to go surf ha, we just wanted to stay! Kris was an awesome host, informative and helpful! Would return in a heartbeat

Beautiful place. In fact the photos don’t do it justice. We enjoyed our very relaxing stay. The restaurants were good. Kris was a wonderful host, always responsive and helpful. Rosio and Griselda were wonderful when they greeted us at the house and answered our questions, they were there daily and checked in with us and cleaned the house. We would definitely love to return for another stay.

This place was amazing! We’ll definitely be back. Our 7 and 4 year old boys spent hours playing in the sand and waves right out front and every afternoon in the pool. We had planned to eat out at the local restaurants more but the food we had prepared at the house by Griselda was so great that we ended up instead having her make dinner almost every night. So comfortable, we felt right at home.

This is one of the older houses on the beach but it is a perfect beachfront location with lots of shade and beautiful views. Some of the plumbing fixtures , window coverings and kitchen items could use a bit of upgrading for the price of the house but all else was great. We would rent here again! Gracias!!

A true gem! Very highly recommend. Casa Palapa was absolutely perfect for our group of four adults and one kid (2 years old). The layout of the house is amazing, with so many places to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. The pool was such a hit with everyone, including the 2 year old who spent hours every day playing in the water. Easily walkable to the break and near a bunch of delicious beachfront restaurants. The daily housekeeping was a godsend and helped keep us comfortable throughout the weeklong stay. We had someone cook for us at the house for 3 of the 6 nights, and highly recommend! It was so nice to relax after a day of sun and sand in the beautiful house. The beds were comfortable, the towels were fluffy and clean, the kitchen was very well stocked, and the kiddie books left out for our daughter were a huge hit with her! We can't wait to return when our kid is old enough to learn to surf!!

everything was really really great! the house was rustic but super well maintained and very warm

This place really is as good as it gets. We brought our 18 month old son and grandpa for eight nights. This place is absolutely fantastic. The staff is amazing. Rocio was one of the best people we met on our entire trip. She cooked us dinner six out of eight nights and each night was fantastic. The staff on site was attentive and really nice to have every day. Just far enough away from the busyness and party atmosphere of Saladita but close enough that walking to surf every day isn’t a big deal. The house is really a magical piece of architecture. So many details and amazing construction. Half of my trip I was lost looking at The property. You really can’t beat this place. All of the furniture inside and out felt super clean which is amazing being so close to the ocean. We would highly recommend this place and if we ever return to Saladita, we will stay here. Again if you stay here use Rocio you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely gorgeous home within a short walk to the main surf break and restaurants. Just far enough away from the action to be peaceful. The home is well-appointed and comfortable. It had everything we needed! Rocio was kind and friendly, as were the cleaning and cooking staff. We had a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing stay at this property for a week in March. The location could not have been better for our needs... a 5-10 min walk down the beautiful beach to to surf or eat at one of the several low-key restaurants. Surf tip: rent a board from Lourdes (they have many quality boards to choose from, and very reasonable rates), and they will let you store it in their rack right near where you paddle out to the point, so you won't have to walk back and forth from the house carrying a longboard. The beach near the house is a little quieter than closer to the point, which we loved. Perfect for swimming, boogie boarding, fishing, etc. The house itself had everything we needed for our family of four (kids 6 and 13). It was spotlessly clean. We really liked hanging out by the small pool which our 6yo loved, and looking out over the ocean. Highly recommend Eli's meal cooking service, which we much preferred to the restaurants. Great house, great host, and great staff. Thank you!

We didn't want to leave! From the moment we arrived, the location and views from this house captivated all of us. It's hard to describe, but it was just immediately comfortable for all of us (family of 4, two teenagers). The house is designed so that everything flows to the outdoors and towards the beach and ocean. And with the weather we had (80's and sunny every day) that was where you wanted to be. Add on to that the 7 minute walk to a fun and friendly point break, with a lineup full of all levels of surfers (Tip, if you don't like to surf with crowds, you will need to get up early). We also had Eli cook us two amazing meals (shrimp tacos and enchiladas), and Rocio arranged massages in the house as well. If we ever go back to Saladita, there will be no doubt about where will be staying. Thanks Kris, Rocio, Eli and Dani for a great end to our Spring Break!!!

Casa Palapa is the perfect family vacation home to experience the best of Saladita. The house, perched just up from the idyllic quarter moon beach, offered a perfect view of the incredible low key point break that we surfed every morning during our stay. It was removed enough from the activity down the beach to feel private, but still just a 5-10 min walk to the restaurants and surf shops that line the southern end of Saladita. Unusual for an Airbnb, our beds were made each morning while we were surfing. I highly recommend having Eli, who the owner Kris recommended, do the shopping and prepare your dinner each night. Her cooking is wonderful and very reasonably priced. We look forward to returning soon!

Amazing place to stay, you cannot beat the location. Cannot wait to go back.

Gorgeous house and location. Our family all had our own spaces and plenty of room in the communal ones. Great views of the point and ocean out front. The pool was really nice. Daniel and Elizabeth, the staff on site, were so friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic vacation at this home!

Have stayed here twice and it’s a great location and spacious home.

Fun place to stay right on the beach, a short walk to the main surfing break and restaurants nearby. Love the palapa roof terrace. Spent most of my time on the patio or in the pool when we weren’t surfing. A wonderful place to relax.

Beautiful home located right on the beach, a few steps away from the couple restaurants and surf rental shops. The view and sound of the waves from the pool and garden area is just stunning. The meal prep service offered by Elizabeth is delicious and so worth it! Highly recommended.

Amazing views of the surf and the sunsets! We had the perfect surf stay in this incredible house. Everything was clean, easy and super safe. We will come back every year!

My friends and I could not have enjoyed our stay any more and only wish we could have stayed longer. This house is spacious and beautiful, the host and caretakers are incredibly responsive and the location was absolutely perfect.

This place is so cute. Amazing location with a great view of surf, close to restaurants, and amazing staff. It is also quiet with the sound of ocean at night. I wish there were board racks for surfboard, but there are spots to store them. The internet upstairs was spotty, but they will be replacing that soon. A few minor lighting issues, but such a great response time and fabulous hosting.

We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back. Erwing and the staff were very helpful polite and professional with good local knowledge! The food that was prepared by the staff was so delicious! The property was very well maintained and clean. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!!

I just can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. The house was beautiful, phenomenal location, 6 min walk to the waves and restaurants, but still very private. The house is unique and very comfortable. Stunning! The absolute best part was Isabel, the manager. She was sweet, so accommodating and absolutely lovely to work with. Her cooking was incredible. Greta house for a family or a group! Book it!

What is my impression of this house? Spotless. I would describe it as a nicely done rustic kind of Spanish/Mexican Colonial-many comforting touches have been done. Very thoughtful. I woke up the first morning and realized I could watch surfers from bed (upstairs room). I loved the birds on the property. There is some sort of fly catcher that built a Weaver‘s nest. White Wing Doves nest in the palm tree in front of the house. Grackles (bird) also had a nest in the same palm tree. It was so cute. Cinnamon Wing Hummingbirds float quietly through the miniature birds of paradise by the pool. I loved having my coffee at the lower palapa deck and watching the waves break. Sunsets are great there too with a glass of wine. Loved the infinity pool. The hostess is very responsive to any kind of questions. She will provide the means to communicate usually via text. I really felt comfortable with her as a host/owner. LOVED IT!

Fantastic location. Close to the surf break and restaurants but still private. Plenty of room to spread out. This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Palapa and we will likely visit again. My family feels right at home when we stay here. Absolutely love it!

Loved the house, will definitely be back

Kris' Casa Palapa in Saladita is wonderful. It was easy to book, she was accommodating (had a crib and gate and toys for our 1 yo and 6 yo), she gave us lots of information about safety and travel. Arriving there was amazing. Yanet and Angel, who work there, are incredible. We arrived to flowers and smiles. Yanet and Angel are incredible cooks. They made our stay easy. I have never had a vacation in which I truly was on vacation--they took care of everything from cleaning, to shopping, to cooking. Estella from Play Spa Massages provides incredible, intuitive massage in home. We had the best time and will be back! Thank you Kris!

My friends and I stayed at Kris' place on our surf trip. We had a wonderful time! The house is right on the beach, a walkable distance to the beach and restaurants. The house has a lot of character and so much details. You can see that a lot of love has been poured into it. Yaneth and Angel were there to greet us when we arrived and show us around. They also cleaned the house every day and made the beds. And on top of that they cooked us dinner every night, we just had to request it the day before and she would ask us what we wanted. The food was amazing and really affordable. The best! All in all we had an amazing time! Thank you all!

What a perfect week I had with my family! The house is beautiful and location perfect. Boys paddled to the break from in front of the house and I could walk to watch them in minutes. Angel and Yaneth were so kind and friendly and their cooking was insane!!!!! I highly recommend you book them to cook for you your entire stay. Any issues we had (which were so minimal) were taken care of immediately by Kris and Erwing and we had the pleasure of meeting the next door neighbor Curtis who gave us the history of Saladita. So interesting and funny. The trip was a perfect 10 out of 10 and we'd go back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful quiet trad place, kept beautifully by Angelo and his wife who also cooked us an amazing meal. Erwing was so helpful with all. Can’t wait to come back

This is a charming and authentic house that fits within the area. It is quiet and at a great distance away from the point which can be loud & busy in peak times. There are lots of magic spaces and places within the house to relax especially the rooftop palapa. The option of beach or pool to cool down is great. The staff are very friendly and Yaneth cooks beautiful meals. Lots of artistic features within the house and is perfect for those who love Freda Khalo. We were sad to leave and recommend this house for anyone wanting to stay at Playa La Saladita.

This was our second visit and we cannot wait to return!

What a beautiful house and location! The beach is great for both swimming and surfing and the pool is a lovely way to spend the hot days. The staff were very friendly and also made incredible dinners - highly recommend arranging some meals. Erwing is very responsive and can hook you up with whatever you need!

Great place for a surf vacation, loved that we could walk to the break and watch it from the pool.

This was the second time we stayed at Kris's house and loved it even more than the first time. We were able to surf everyday and then relax in the pool the rest of the afternoon. The staff came everyday to clean the house and we even hired them to cook us an amazing lobster dinner one of the nights. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to have a wonderful Mexican vacation.

Nice property with great hosts! Hope to return.

Had a lovely stay with friends. House is close to surf break and easy access from the main point. The house has lovely views and a large back covered pool and patio to sit and watch the ocean. The caretaker Erwing is very responsive and can arrange activities or transportation even help when your car gets stuck nearby. The house sits at edge of the jungle so be prepared for with plenty of mosquito repellent or coils in the evening. The pool is nice for taking a dip and is protected from direct sun.

Gorgeous house, great location, very clean, amazing views! Great communication with house manager. If you're working remotely, the wifi connectivity is great in the back room but not in the spaces with ocean view as described - not sure if this is a temporary issue or not. Will definitely stay here again.

Great place, great people!!

Beautiful home that has everything you need and more. Had the best time there! Looking forward to returning soon.

Ideal place for us - 3 couples. great location close to the break, beautiful views and great spaces for hanging out. The rooftop palapa is a treat! The couple that cleans and cooks were lovely.

We just got back from an amazing trip to La Saladita. Kris' house is excellent. Well appointed, comfy beds and amazing views. The surf break is a 8-10 minute walk down the beach. We appreciated being the quietness of the house and being able to walk down the beach for food and drinks. We enjoyed the neighbors who had helpful tips on where to eat, get Covid tests etc.. Can't wait to go back!

This is a hard review for me to write. Truth be told, I would much rather keep this gem of a house a secret - to protect it and make sure there is availability for us to rent it again...but I know the secret is soon to get out - so here I go. This spot is very magical. The house layout it well done and the decor is beautiful. We ate most all of our meals outside at the community table - however hanging in the kitchen at the counter top and sitting area was lovely too. The bedrooms are BIG and spacious each with their own large bathrooms - hallelujah! One of the bedrooms is right off the kitchen, but it's also deeply set back - it was a none issue for our group. The only issue I could see is if you had loud early risers who wanted to make a noisy breakfast in the morning? The fridge is plenty big making it nice to load up on groceries (I recommend picking up food in Zih before heading in) There is a large freezer for bags of ice! Kitchen is plenty stocked although we had half our meals made - HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! The pool is more of a dipping pool - so no need to bring a floaty (I mean you could probably fit 2 in there?) but there are seats inside the pool and it's the perfect size dip and chill! We had our whole group of 6 easily chilling in and around the pool. The palapa upstairs is a true delight to have morning coffee and watch the sun come up and check the surf. The whole house caters to lounging and staring at the ocean. Listening to the waves at night was pure magic. We were a group of surfers who brought and stored our own boards at the house. The walk to paddle out took about 10 minutes? It's a beautiful walk and was easily doable for our group. The thing is - there are many fancy houses being built up around the area, but there is really no need to look further than this nugget. It has everything you want and need, plus a lot of soul.

We had an AMAZING stay at Kris’s. Everything was perfect - the home was clean and fresh, hot water, the grounds kept amazingly, fantastic and kind neighbors and caretakers and Kris a delight to correspond with. 5 stars! We will be back :)

Casa Palapa is a beautifully well-kept home with a warm and skilled staff. The house is perfectly situated in Saladita with gorgeous views and many beautiful spots to hang out and enjoy Saladita.

Can’t say enough about what a great location this is. Beachfront, 8 minute walk to the surf break and the half dozen restaurants in La Saladita. The outdoor area including pool and terraced seating area was resort-like and immaculately kept. The indoor seating area just behind the sliding glass infinity doors is so well designed to take in ocean views and sunsets. You feel like you never need to leave your house. There is a house right next door that would share your outdoor space, but it was vacant when we rented for a week in March so definitely not an issue for us. Kris was very responsive to several questions I had, and was super helpful in giving us information about the area. Loved La Saladita and this sweet place - hope we will be back.

Amazing house in a magical location. The house had all the necessary amenities, comfortable beds, a great location right on the beach, and a wonderful pool for a post-ocean dip. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time! Staff was top notch!! So beautiful!! We will be back!!!

Just a lovely home. Great location, easy walk to all the beach restaurants, and great view of the surf break. My family was talking about returning before we left. Can’t wait to go back.

Great House! With an excellent location

Excellent hosts and the house is beautiful in excellent location.

Can’t wait to return! 10/10 would recommend.

This house in incredible. It's even nicer than it looks in the photos. Roof top views are amazing. Perfect spot for a surf trip. The house is a 5-7 minute walk to the break and shops on the beach. Both Kris and Erwing were great communicators and our stay was flawless. House staff also did an amazing job. Wifi is good enough for remote work which is a nice touch. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great spot, the vibes!

My friends and I stayed at Kris's house for a week and absolutely loved it. It is right on the beach and a short walk to a great surf spot. After surfing each morning we were able to relax in an amazing pool which looks out over the point. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Outstanding spot to have amazing days off

Beautiful views and home. Kris was always very responsive and helpful.

The house has so many amenities, books TV and thoughtful touches. Gorgeous location! Kris and her team are so attentive and have great communication. It was a wonderful trip!!

Kris' house was absolutely fantastic for our group of 4. We had an amazing time using all the spaces and the house was perfectly located for access to everything on the beach. Several of us were working during this time and we LOVED the table out by the patio that had an outlet - a small but powerful touch ;) Erwing was a great co-host and helped us with any questions we had. Really great hospitality and cozy spaces. We will definitely be back!

LOVED staying at this charming house! PERFECT location for surfers, felt very taken care of by the incredible staff too. Can't wait to go back!

The place is incredible, first the location, the privacy of the area in which the house is located is enviable and with the practical option of moving in the hustle and bustle if you want it a few kilometers away. We loved the facilities, the rooms are nice and comfortable, eating with that view in the dining room is truly enviable, the sunsets are made of film, the pool is super comfortable and has very parent terraces. The food option they offer is very good, Esther and Toño are very friendly.

Thanks for everything! we had a great stay. All our needs were timely met, even though we travelled with my in-laws who are very demanding. Erwin was always very attentive and ready to help with anything. The property is perfectly located and has a nice touch, spaces are very comfortable and the ocean breeze is fantastic. We’d definitely like to come back.

A very nice house, it has everything you need and Esther the cook has a great season. Highly recommended

Excellent home!!!

Great place to stay at, the pictures are accurate and the entire house is just amazing to spend a few days at the beach. Esther and Antonio are always willing to help with everything you may need and esther's cooking is delicious.

We loved our stay at Casa Palapa and Kris was a wonderful host. There are so many small touches throughout the house that makes it comfortable, relaxing and memorable with one of the best rooftop views in Saladita. The staff Angelina, Ester and Antonio were super hospitable and prepared some absolutely killer meals. We can’t wait to come back!!

Kris’s place was so stylish and comfortable. Gorgeous panoramic view of the ocean and and I could hear the waves from inside. Kris was easy to communicate with and gave quick replies. I can’t wait to return for a longer stay.

It's a heavenly place! 10 minutes from the wave for surfers. Excellent servant and service. Articles against COVID The The pool is very small. A dream stay. Kris is an excellent hostess very flexible, quick to respond and very well managed.

A

Very nice house with an exceptional location. The house is very comfortable and the hosts are just super friendly and helpful. We had a blast.

We had so much fun! My 2 kids (8&11) loved bodysurfing out front and swimming in the pool! The waves at the point were so much fun and the water was nice and warm. The locals were all very kind. I didn’t want to come home! The place was exactly what we needed. Plenty of room and very beautiful! I will definitely return!

Right on the beach with a beautiful little pool!

Great place and cook!

Super cute house right on the beach could not ask for a better location. The staff is absolutely amazing and they give you a lot of tips on things to do, what to do etc. they will also cook up anything you’d like! We had a small issue and they resolved it right away. It feels very private, the beds are comfortable, and there’s nothing more beautiful than lounging in the pool watching a sunset every night.We only had two couples but the place can easily sleep three couples comfortably with the 3 bedrooms, open space in the living room and the outdoor space where we ended up spending majority of our time.
