Unique home with fabulous views of the ocean and jungle

Everything was amazing!

Great location. 20 min walk along beach to town. House is an authentic Mexico Casita outside and inside. Brilliant with a beautiful view. Extremely shocked and disappointed in sheets, pillows, towels and kitchen amenities. Desperately need to be upgraded. No bed nets. Bug bitten all night even with deet spray . Very very old bed sheets with stains and holes. Very very old pillows with stains. Very very old towels with stains and tears. Stains on curtains that were held up by cloths pegs. Very very old kitchen supplies and incomplete set up for usage. Mildew and mold on the living room furniture. Owner was prompt to email reply up until full payment completed and then the only way I was able to reach the owner was with a phone call days before our arrival to request directions and address of house and arrival details. She then emailed info to me. Owner, however seemed lovely and was pleasant to speak with and shared insights to area. Manager Abel was very attentive and we highly recommend his management.

We had an incredible time at Casa Colina! Fabulous view of the ocean, most mornings we saw whale spouts. We loved living basically outside for a week. We also got in great shape walking up the hill to the house everyday!

Loved the open home in the trees... amazing views!!!

Beautifully designed house with lots of outdoor space (and shade to escape the sun when it gets too much.) The two bedrooms/ bathrooms are very separate so would work really well for two couples. I would recommend getting a golf cart because it is up pretty high on the hill and about a 30 - 35 minute walk from town -- doable walking but better with golf cart. Very quiet and private, a real escape. There is no pool but there is easy access to an outdoor shower. The owner tries very hard to make you comfortable and happy. Really loved this trip.

We absolutely loved Casa Colina! My wife and three children had a great time. Paula was great - v. responsive and 'on it'.

When we walked into Casa Colina, our first impression was, WOW, what an amazing view! Due to the openness of the front half of the house, we were able to enjoy an unobstructed 180-degree view! We found it difficult to tear ourselves away from the lounges on the front patio and walk the short distance into the village of San Pancho, but when we did, we discovered an adventure awaiting us as we explored the numerous and varied shops, interacted with both the locals and visitors, and savored the food in the numerous and diverse restaurants. Casa Colina and San Pancho are definitely high on our list of favorite vacation places. We hope to return soon Cudos to the owners who created this unique home, in a pristine environment, that also has one of the best views on the Riviera Nayarit Coast.

The actual physial description of the property was accurate.It's a pretty place with great views. However, our experience that week was different from what was contracted.The house had clearly not been prepared for renters. No one had used the house for several months and it showed. Examples: Sinks in the bathrooms were dirty, a partily filled old botttle of wine was in the living room, musty smell in the bedroom, owners' property stuffed behind the bed, no clear surfaces in the guest bedroom for renter use, some light bulbs out with no replacements around, towel rack broken.The description included internet service, phone service, filtered water, and a housekeeper for 2 days. None of that happened (except internet on the last evening of our stay}. Having no phone service was especially stressful as the house is up a steep hill and somewhat isolated (the closest house was empty and up for sale). Cell reception was, at best, spotty. It was difficult, frustrating, and expensive to communicate with the owners who live in the US. They were slow to respond and, in general, did not treat us well. The tone was set when we first got there.The key to the house was not where it was shown in the photo they sent us. We called. Their first reaction was to argue that they had sent a photo of where the key was rather than to believe it was not where it was supposed to be. In fairness, they did attempt to remedy some of these complaints from afar, did eventually listen to our upset , and did refund us a small portion of the rental charge. We hope the owners will take this review to heart and be more prepared for the next renters.

My friend and I rented this beautiful home as a 'girls getaway' for a week of relaxing and old friends reconnecting. We couldn't have DREAMED of a better place! The view was outstanding and the home was just lovely. The beach is just a nice walk down the hill; a short walk down the beach and you're in town and being served margaritas on the beach!!! The two master suites were perfect and provided us privacy when we wanted it, and the open-air showers were wonderful! The nicely-equipped kitchen provided us with everything we needed to cook at home, or re-heat anything we brought back as leftovers. I would definitely recommend Casa Colina to friends and relatives - we are already planning on going back next year!

This place is fascinating. The views, the openness, the quiet, (except for the birds), the amenities, the fantastic outdoor showers, (hot water and great water pressure), the Shaw TV (got to watch my hometown team lose the Orange Bowl), spot on internet, stereo system, and I could go on and on. Casa Colina had everything I could have imagined. If I wondered if something was there, I found it, in abundance. They even provided a book of Mexican birds, which came in handy for identifying the rufus bellied chacalaca and the beautiful white throated magpie jay, which was on the cover of the bird book. The owners have thought of everything! It was hard NOT to relax. Fabi, the housekeeper and Juan, the gardener were exceptional. We loved it and will definitely be returning. Susie and Gary
