Casa de Ensueño is south of the Sayulita plaza on Calle Naranjito -- a quiet, dead-end street. We are a short five-minute walk to the plaza and the beach. We are also much closer to secluded beaches like Los Muertos and Carracitos than are properties on Sayulita's north side.

Everything in Sayulita is within walking distance of Casa de Ensueño, so renting a car isn't essential. There are local taxis or the bus for short day trips, and the bus goes into Puerto Vallarta every 20 minutes or so. Golf cars, scooters, or ATVs can be rented here to get around Sayulita. If you do drive, limited parking is available on the street in front of the complex.
Do all of the casitas have ocean views?
Casitas 3 and 4 have an ocean view that can be enjoyed from the private patio, kitchen or living room. Casita 5 has an ocean view from the living room, bedroom and rooftop patio. Casita 2 has a slightly filtered ocean view, and Casita 1 has a heavily filtered ocean view. The villa has an ocean view from every room. Casita 6 has a lovely view of the gardens, pool area, and neighborhood, but not an ocean view.
Are there staff at the casitas?
Yes, Lupita is the housekeeper and Felix is the grounds keeper and handyman and they work every day except Sundays and holidays. Additionally, an English-speaking property manager is always available and the owners are usually on site during the high season.
Do the stores in Sayulita take credit cards or US or Canadian dollars?
Most of the stores deal in cash (pesos), though a few businesses will take credit cards. You should plan to get Mexican currency from an ATM or money exchange, either at the airport when you arrive or in Sayulita. Several ATMs and money exchange offices are available in Sayulita.
Do you provide linens and beach towels?
Yes, we provide bath towels and beach towels as well as all linens.
Do I need an adapter for my hairdryer?
No. The voltage and sockets are the same as in the US and Canada.
Is the tap water drinkable?
Purified bottled water is provided. Use this for drinking, cooking, making ice and brushing your teeth. It's fine to use the tap water for showering and washing dishes. Wash your fruits and vegtables with tap water that has been purified with the purification drops that are provided.
Do you accept children?
The balcony on the individual patios is only two feet high -- not appropriate for young children.
Are there many stairs?
Yes. We are located on a hillside and there are stairs leading to each of the casitas and the villa.
Is Sayulita safe?
Yes. No violent crime has occurred here and there are no drug cartels or gangs. Police patrol regularly and both our property and the town is well-lit. Neighbors look out for one another as is typical in a small town like ours and we have Neighborhood Watch programs. We frequently walk to town after dark and feel quite comfortable. We wouldn't live here and host guests here if it wasn't safe. Of course, visitors should secure valuables, be careful at ATMs, and avoid flashing lots of cash.
Do you accept credit cards or PayPal?
Sorry, but to keep our rates low we accept only cash or checks. Our Canadian customers can use the Interac E-transfer process -- a convenient and low-cost option for electronic bank transfers.
What should I do when I arrive for my vacation?
You will either find the door unlocked when you arrive or be directed to our property managers to pick up the key. If you are met by the property managers, they will show you to your casita and answer any questions you might have. If we are present please get settled then come up to our casa and say hello. We can then answer any questions you might have about Sayulita and your casita.
