Central North End Location

Casa Tranquila is in Sayulita’s desirable North End, in a residential neighborhood at the foot of the Nanzal hillsides.

• Five-minute walk to the beach
• Four-minute walk to restaurants
• Ten-minute walk to downtown
• Eleven-minute walk to popular surf breaks
• Mostly gentle, flat terrain
• A medium-sloping hill begins approximately 150 meters before the house, with a total elevation gain of about 30 feet
• No steep hills to climb
• Away from the loud bars and clubs of downtown and the South Side while remaining within easy walking distance
• Convenient access to coffee, brunch, yoga, massage, the beach, and town

You will not need a golf cart to get around this area. The walk home from the beach is relatively flat, with only the final section approaching the house involving a moderate slope.

Clean North Beach

Casa Tranquila is five minutes from a one-kilometer stretch of clean, peaceful sand with plenty of space and beautiful sunsets over Sayulita.

North Beach can have a stronger shore break, but its sand quality, cleanliness, and open space are superior to the main beach. Continuing north brings increasing privacy and silky sand. From October through December, sea-turtle hatchling releases take place each evening, creating a memorable experience for children.

Noise Information

Nighttime Noise

Nighttime sounds at Casa Tranquila generally come from birds rather than nightlife. Sayulita is heavily canopied and home to many jungle birds, including roosters and chachalacas, which may call before dawn. Earplugs are provided.

New Year’s Eve and Carnaval can bring nighttime festivities throughout the wider neighborhood. Earplugs are provided for these occasions as well.

Daytime Noise

Because Casa Tranquila is located at the foot of the Nanzal hillsides along an access road, occasional daytime traffic noise may come from local motorbikes and service vehicles serving the upper-level properties.

• Traffic is intermittent
• It is most frequent on workday mornings, typically after 8:00 a.m.
• Noise is more noticeable when hillside construction or other projects are active
• Evenings are consistently calm and peaceful

The location offers a balance between walkability to Sayulita’s attractions and distance from the all-night clubs of Centro and the South Side.

Architecture

A Sayulita original, Casa Tranquila reflects the charm and authenticity of the town’s Mexican architectural style.

The home is arranged around the pool and patio, with arcades and columns defining the layout. Wrought-iron-trimmed windows and doors break up the expansive walls, while a Mission tile “teja” sloped roof and overhang complement the “cantera” stone-trimmed ceilings.

Stucco columns are interspersed with potted broad-leaf plants, ferns, flowers, and succulents. At the center of the design are the pool and lush gardens, around which the house is thoughtfully arranged.

Secure Parking

The gated carport provides secure on-site parking and includes a golf cart charging station.

• November through May: accessible by average-sized cars
• June through October: high-clearance vehicles are recommended because heavy rain can wash out the access road

See the seasonal parking information below for additional details.

Privacy and Security

The entire villa and its amenities are private to your group.

• The house, pool, and gardens are enclosed by high walls along the property line
• The walls obscure the home from public view
• The property provides a private and secure tropical retreat
• The contrasting street-facing color makes the home easy to identify
• Bolted hotel-style safes are provided in
