Vacation Rental Description

Casa Linda is one of Playa Las Tortugas' most luxurious beachfront homes, in a perfect location only steps from the soft warm sand and clear blue Pacific Ocean.

"The next morning, about 15 miles down the coast, I find my Shangri-La, the place I could recommend without reservation or caveat. I almost miss it as I vacillate about whether to follow a dirt road because of a sign that simply states Playa Las Tortugas." The Washington Post

From the well-appointed interior of Casa Linda you have practically one hundred eighty degrees of ocean and sunset views that are simply incomparable.

The central interior living area of the house has a two-story ceiling with 16 foot wide sliding wood doors opening out to a covered sitting and dining veranda, just steps from the beach and tropical warm water.

Carefully selected furnishings and decorative pieces throughout the home, joined together by native marble floors, spectacular onyx bath countertops, and highlights of "tikul" stone create a comfortable and eye-pleasing atmosphere. Custom built cabinetry contains a television, VCR, DVD, and stereo system, with a supply of recent movies for your enjoyment. Wireless high-speed internet access is also provided.

The large master suite has its own private bath with onyx countertops, dual spray heads in the large shower, an incredible view to the ocean as you see above, and it's own ocean view patio and separate beach entrance.

Throughout the home are found decorative niches and art pieces from around Mexico.

Four adults can sleep comfortably in the two custom-decorated bedrooms, with a fifth adult or two children (6 years and older) in the loft. Two additional full size baths serve the second bedroom and loft.

The granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances of the gourmet kitchen accommodate both casual and more serious chefs. For those who prefer, our wonderful cooks will prepare you authentic traditional meals.

From the comfortable loft and study walk out on to your upstairs terrace with sunning areas, kiosk for shade, and a custom BBQ grill.

Look down from the terrace and you'll see the two hammocks hanging just up from the sand of the beach. Once you've been accustomed to the slow rythym of life in the hammock at Casa Linda and Playa Las Tortugas, you won't want to leave.

Just imagine falling asleep to the sound of the waves after a memorable sunset in your 3,400 sq. ft. single level beachfront home with over 1,000 sq. ft. of upper terraces. Casa Linda is the very definition of "beach vacation"!

Area Description

Our entire state of Nayarit area enjoys one of the most favorable climates in the world. Average daily year-round temperatures range from highs of 80-85 degrees (perfect beach weather) to lows of 60-70 degrees (perfect sleeping weather).

Swim year round, but consider packing a light sweater for the evenings in the winter months. Rain, when it falls, generally occurs between June and September as night-time or pre-dawn thundershowers.

You can visit small typical Mexican villages, enjoy fresh fish and other local seafood at small rustic beachfront restaurants, tour a tropical river and waterfalls, see historic San Blas, and drive up through the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains to colonial Tepic where crafts of the Huichol Indians are found.

Playa Las Tortugas has kilometers of uncrowded, clean sand beach, and a number of activities both on property and nearby such as Surfing, Wave Kayaking, Boogie Boarding, Fishing, and Shelling, Canoeing, Whale Watching, Bird Watching, Walking or Running on Miles of Sand Beach, and Sea Turtle Conservation activities (during season) at the Sea Turtle Conservation Camp.

Frequently there is one festival or another in small towns within an hour of our location. There are a number of excursions you might take, with or without a guide.

Playa Las Tortugas is located on a section of coastline which is nesting habitat of several species of sea turtle in the beautiful state of Nayarit, Mexico 70 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta (PVR) International Airport and about 50 miles west of Tepic, the colonial capital of Nayarit.

We are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, you may rent a car and drive your self which a large number of our guests do, or if you'd like to be more adventurous you may decide to come by bus and local taxi. We can send you details on the numerous car rental companies, or instructions on which buses and local taxis to take including approximate costs.

It's quite easy to find your way from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport to Playa Las Tortugas, and the roads are normally well-maintained. Your valid driver's license is accepted in Mexico, and the driving rules are virtually the same as most countries. Write us for a copy of detailed driving instructions and a map. Your scenic drive north from the airport takes less than 2 hours and goes through areas of old-growth jungle and coastal hills.

'I have the privilege of experiencing a working sea-turtle camp firsthand because I am staying at Playa Las Tortugas, a charming, ecologically minded property on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of pristine beach. Next to a tidal estuary lined with mangroves '''where I spend a glorious afternoon in a canoe, spotting roseate spoonbills and great blue herons,among other bird species '''this property demonstrates the value of conscientious development.
