About this property

Spectacular Ocean View, Large 2 BR Custom Home + optional 1 BR and/or Bungalow

Sayulita's Best Kept Secret.
Villa Karuna is a two story 3000 sq ft. romantic beautiful home and has been custom handcrafted throughout. Attention to detail is evident in the marble, onyx, granite and tile work in the kitchen and the bathrooms, as well as in the artwork, the statues and surrounding beautiful gardens. Located in one of the last remaining tropical jungles by the sea in Mexico, Villa Karuna, sits high on a jungle ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The beautiful, expansive view includes magnificent sunsets over the sea as well as an ongoing bird watching opportunity.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms. 2 air conditioned master suites. Each suite includes a king-sized bed, glorious bathroom and private deck. The master bath features a two person custom onyz/granite hot tub for your romantic and relaxing pleasures. Additionally, between the two suites, is a large deck affording plenty of room to read, practice yoga, enjoy a sunset margarita/tea or simply enjoy the view.
Our beautiful 2-bedroom 2.5 bath home, VIlla Karuna, is located south of Sayulita's town plaza. Located on a 7 acre estate It is very private and gated with lush tropical gardens. It is the perfect location at the edge of town, near enough to walk, drive or hop a taxi for all the great food, beach time, shopping and nightlife, but far enough to be away from all the hustle and bustle and party noise. It's perfect for your relaxing, private and peaceful vacation opportunity. Sleeps 4-6.

The spacious, well-appointed kitchen is designed for your entertaining pleasure. Downstairs there is an open floor plan with a living room, a dining room and a handcrafted parrota bar that seats 6 while it looks out onto the deck, the pool, the jungle and the ocean.

We also have a an additional bedroom available in the Main Villa for an extra charge.

We also have a separate 1 bedroom bungalow available on the property that will sleep an additional 2-3 people.

Karuna Daze
Magnificent. If you like stunning architecture, beautiful furnishings, serenity, quietude, lazy days in a pool, and sheer relaxation, then this is the place for you. Renting a motorized side-by-side gave us all the flexibility we needed to enjoy our location out of town, but just close enough. Adding Maria as our in-home chef only added to the overall experience. We definitely hope to return to make more wonderful memories of life in the jungle. Not to be forgotten is the soothing early morning melody of the chachalaka bird.

Exceptional property and hosts
Our first time in Mexico, and also we had our whole family in tow - this property was a huge highlight. We didn’t know what to expect, but everything far exceeded expectations. Quinn and Lesley’s home is beautifully appointed, and waking up to the calls of birds with full-length windows open to a view of the Pacific a mile away was an experience we won’t soon forget. Sunsets are a highlight too, easy to experience with sea-facing glass and wood doors both downstairs and upstairs. It’s a house that’s meant to be open. There’s a jungle trail leading down to the beach past bamboo and palm - and plenty of access to other beaches if you rent an ATV or bikes in Sayulita. Easy to get back and forth if you’re active, but also plenty of reason to just relax in the home. Their on-site dipping pool was welcome. Our hosts provided lots of input regarding things to do, as did their property manager who was always available. One night we coordinated a local chef through the property manager - an outstanding meal. Can’t say enough positive about this place, and our friendly and engaged hosts.

Spring Break Vacation
Excellent place to stay, away from the noise in town. Nice hike to beach below. We used a/c at night. Rent a golf cart or ATV from Kaliva Rentals. Host Eric was very helpful. Will stay here again!

Paradise!
Villa Karuna is a very special place. The house and the grounds surrounding it are truly amazing. Everything is impeccably maintained. The house completely opens up to breathtaking views of the ocean. It is also very well appointed with all the extras you would ever need to enjoy the kitchen, the pool, the beach, and the magnificent daily sunsets. While Villa Karuna is peaceful and relaxing, when you are ready for a more lively scene, Sayulita is a very short ride away. We also adventured out to multiple other towns and beaches all within a 15 to 20 minute drive. Lastly I can’t say enough about the owners and property manager. We could tell they sincerely wanted us to enjoy the property. The owner’s were very attentive and super helpful with all the guidance and suggestions regarding the property and surrounding areas. The property manager lives in a bungalow on the 7 acre gated property. His presence made us feel additionally safe and he was likewise very helpful during our stay, I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend to everyone looking for a first class experience to make a visit.

Sunsets!
Wow, wow, wow! What a fantastic house. Easy to visit the town of Sayulita, but when you’re home it’s private oasis. I highly recommend having a chef come in to cook dinner and fully enjoy the sunset.

About the host

Hosted by Quinn and Leslie

Host profile image
My wife and I are retired videographers and Landscape designers. We have been coming to Sayulita since 1998. Back when it was a small, quiet fishing village with only 1 telephone. We chose the Sayulita area, for many reasons but primarily for it's amazing beauty and lush tropical jungle, with mountains going right into the sea. As Lanscape gardeners, we also where amazed by how vigorously plants grow here. We have planted trees that are 50 ft tall and a bamboo forest that is over 70 feet tall. We designed Villa Karuna as a part time home and as a place to hold our annual family reunions. We have 3 sons and their familes with 5 grand children. The grand kids have been coming here since birth. Two of our sons proposed to their wives here. We all love the abundant outdoor adventures available here. Surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, sailing, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, whale watching. The list goes on.
Our family uses this amazing slice of paradise as our private and elegant nature retreat for renewal and rejuvenation.
...and we invite you to enjoy this amazing experience for yourselves.

What makes this property unique

Many of our guests describe Villa Karuna as a true paradise.
Amazing views of both Ocean and Jungle with a trail to a nearby magical beach. Karuna is a true retreat away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Sayulita but only a mile away from the square.
