- "Let me begin by saying we experienced excellent communication with staff whom we met upon our arrival. The property is steps from the beach. The water was very pleasant with inviting, gentle waves. The large second floor patio afforded us the opportunity to take many photos of the stunning sunsets. There are stairs you must climb to reach your accommodations. If you take it slow, the handrails will be handy. We are in our 70’s and had no problems. There were keys given so we could lock ourselves in during the night or out. Los Pecadores is perfect for any length of days or weeks stay. It is equipped with a full kitchen, beautiful living room and 2 bedrooms each with there own bathrooms. The beds were made with high end sheets, plenty of pillows and blankets if you need them. Bring your own shampoo, bar of soap and wash clothes. Beach towel are provided. Internet was excellent. The traditional split air condition worked well after 6 pm. Fans were located in every room. However, our visit was during August the warmest month of the year and quite uncomfortable. We will arrange our stay next time during a more pleasant month. We were very selective when we used the air. Over excess incurred additional charges. Loved the plunge pool. We did not use the washer or dryer. Be aware that there is some construction occurring next door during the day. Keep in mind, this is price for progress, growth and jobs THANK YOU to the outstanding staff!!"

Welcome to Casa-Pacífico in beautiful Nayarit, Mexico. This unit (Casa de la Alegria) is one of two on the property.

This property is truly a walk-to-the-beach home. Stand in the street in front of the house, turn to your right, and the Pacific Ocean beckons you -- 100 steps away. In addition, there are several cafes in the neighborhood as well as small markets. 6 blocks will take you to the center of La Penita where you will find shops, markets, banks, restaurants and bars - just about anything you need.

The casita itself is a two bedroom, one bathroom unit. A/C for bedrooms. Sit outside in the garden right outside your door for morning coffee, or in the evening, take the stairs to your roof at sunset, while you listen to the waves and catch the ocean breezes. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to be here during one of the many meteor showers! This casita is a detached unit, separate from the main house, and adjacent to the pool. A full kitchen allows you to eat in whenever you like but you are still close enough to town to head in to one of the outstanding cafes and restaurants. A short walk down the beach will take you there in minutes. Or purchase tamales and tortillas from the street vendors in the neighborhood.

A large bathroom and a roomy living space make this the perfect home base while you explore all that Riviera Nayarit has to offer: colonial buildings in nearby towns, surfing in Sayulita, jet-skiing, mountain drives, markets, ruins, hot springs, volcanoes, and miles and miles of beach. You can easily explore the other towns in the area - San Pancho, Rincon de Guaybitos, Los Ayala, and Lo de Marcos. You will be about an hour from Playa las Tortugas and the turtle camp there. San Blas is another hour beyond.

All linens and towels are supplied (including beach towels). Both queen beds have pillow toppers and high thread count sheets. I have tried to equip the home with everything you will need - basic spices, cooking oil, bottled water, etc.) but if there is anything else you require, just ask. The property has two rental units as well as the owner's home. They all share a courtyard and garden as well as a pool.

I am located in Colonia Pescadores in La Penita. This is an authentic Mexican village, not a flashy resort town. It is a quiet, laid-back neighborhood with a true flavor of Mexico. The street is a mix of homes, small local businesses, a few hotels/rentals, a school across the street, and lovely neighbors!

- "We stayed in La Peñita for five days. This property was exactly what we were looking for. close to the beach, two beds, air-conditioned bedroom, full kitchen and a shared pool. We used the pool every day. It was wonderful. There was actually a recliner in the living room, which was great for my back after traveling. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of space in the unit, so we didn’t feel cramped at all. We didn’t want to leave."

- "Awesome location, my wife is pretty pregnant so being a short walk to the beach and multiple restaurants was a huge bonus for us. The rooms were clean, the pool was super refreshing on days we didn't feel like walking. Plus Lissa makes the best bagels, we will definitely be back again! " - "Our stay was an amazing one. The room was absolutely beautiful. We had air conditioning, smart t.v., full kitchen set up, beach supplies as well as acces to a pool and pool and a laundry room. The beach was a few feet from the property so their was always a breeze in our balcony. Lisa, the owner of the property was a absolutely wonderful and helpful.

- "It was great. We had the lower unit which wasn't expressed and should be in the add but it worked out perfectly for us. We didnt get the clear ocean views but didnt have to run up and down the stairs all day either. The owner was excellent. Outside of a few small doable things the place was great for the money. I'd rent it again." - "We were very impressed with this waterfront property. Well equipped kitchen, seating for almost 20! Comfy couch. Felt safe in the area and in unit.

- "Very nice. Friendly staff." - "Lovely property but needs work. huge cracks in the walls. hot water in only one shower. flimsy sheets. substandard pots and pans very unreliable internet. could be beautiful " - "The housecwas as described and as shown in photos. Nice location on the beach, and walking distance to shops and restaurants. All the amenities we needed, including beach chairs." - "This is a large, well-designed house only 12 meters from the crashing surf. Very bright in the day time, but could use more lighting at night. The wifi was excellent and both bathrooms have been upgraded with nice, new fixtures, but most of the house is showing it's age --- it could use some plaster patching, painting and some new furniture. It would also be nice to have places to hang clothes, towels, etc., and some drapes or blinds on the south aspect windows would help keep out the heat.

- "Our stay was terrific. We had exceptional communication with both the owners and the property managers. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. The Concha Suite is compact but well equipt with everything you might need. A beautiful beach steps outside your door. We will be back!" - "Cleanest pool I've seen in Mexico, nice patio. The bed was a sectional couch that wasn't very comfortable. Poorly equipped kitchen, and about 1 minute of hot water in the shower. Right on the sand on the beach. If you want to do any cooking, this might not be a good choice."
