Villa Yerbabuena is located on the quiet north side of Sayulita. It is steps away from the most private and pristine part of Sayulita's beach and within walking distance of the lively town center and main swim beach. After a 10-minute walk along the palm-lined beach or frontage road you will find the first restaurants, shops, and surf break. Villa Yerbabuena's proximity to the center of town is one of its many attractions. It is close enough to walk to everything that Sayulita has to offer yet far enough to escape the hustle and bustle and find peace and tranquility.

Sayulita is a picturesque fishing village where low-key tourism and a traditional pueblo life-style go hand in hand. On the palm-tree lined beach you can rent lounge chairs and sun umbrellas, lunch at one of the many beach cafés, go for a swim or hit the waves for some first-class surfing, take surf lessons, go horseback riding, or charter a boat to go fishing or snorkeling. Scattered through town are wonderful restaurants, many of them serving savory local dishes, others serving international cuisine. There are boutiques, small grocery stores, internet cafes, a library, medical center, pharmacies, and a few family-operated tour operators offering jungle trips, zip line adventures, and visits to neighboring colonial towns. In the center of town is a charming plaza where the locals and tourists linger in the evening. Depending on the season you may witness colorful fiestas and religious celebrations.

Sayulita is about a 45-minute drive north of Puerto Vallarta. We can assist with transportation arrangements from and to the airport (including a stop at a large supermarket), a golf car rental for local convenience, or car rental. Taxi service is another option or the local Compostela bus!

Beautiful SAYULITA is Mexico at its best and VILLA YERBABUENA simply complements this. Together they hold every promise for an unforgettable vacation and a perfect retreat to come back to year after year.

Amazing view and location
The view is phenomenal, minutes to the beach and 20 minutes to the caves. Property manager was amazing, very responsive and helpful, she arranged everything including picking up our groceries. The plunge pool was a nice extra, although the mainpool doesnt get as much sun as we would have liked, it rained the days leading up and maybe if that hadnt been the case the pool would have been more comfortable. Without the sun on the back yard and not being heated it was quite cool, the kids did not use it much. The beach was much more of a hit, however a couple days into our stay the waves got intense, more than any of the locals had ever seen so then we couldnt use the beach either - that of course is no ones fault, just crappy luck. We had the chefs come in, that was a nice treat, they cooked enough food for 2-3 meals no doubt. If you are an early riser its not a problem, but definitely if you have kids that wake at the crack of sunlight it would be ideal to have heavier duty window coverings, the white sheers didnt keep out much sun and a barking dog across the way woke us up at 5:30 every day. Again, not the properties fault of course - hopefully it was a visitor and not a permanent dog for any future visitors sakes. The pillows also had a weird cover that sounded and felt like a crib cover (plastic inside) - we definitely promptly took those off! The staff were all amazing though, landscaper, pool guy, housekeeping, security, and property manager. *****star overall

The Amazing Villa Yerbabuena
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! The images on the listing don't even do it justice. This place is an absolute gem. From check-in to check-out the process was entirely smooth. Everything was clearly labeled with instructions. The property manager was so wonderful, approachable and reachable for any issues at any time of day. Housekeepers maintained the property 3 times a week and there was no issues with security. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 young children and there was ample room for everyone. Just note there is a small wading pool next to the kitchen that does not have a gate or fence next to the ledge, so if you have small kids, you'll have to watch closely. For those traveling with children, I highly recommend staying in the north side of town, which is much quieter than the downtown areas, especially at night. And its very easy to walk or golf cart into town. We can't wait to come back to Sayulita and would definitely love to book here again!

A wonderful getaway for family and friends
The house was lovely. We watched whales spout from the outdoor patio in the mornings, ate every meal outside, and fell asleep to the sound of crashing waves. Marusa, the house manager, was extremely responsive when we had needs or questions. Our kids spent hours in both pools. It was a wonderful place to decompress for a week and we will definitely be back.

STUNNING VIEW IN A MAGIC TOWN
Villa Yerbabuena was perfect for our family of 8 which included 3 couples and 2 children. Each couple had their own room and the little girls had the bunk bed room. The house has an amazing view and is within walking distance to beach. The north side of Sayulita is quieter but still has some great restaurants close by and the town is an easy walk. We did rent a golf cart to get us around easier. We have traveled many times in Mexico and this town has to be put near the top of one of our favorites. It is a small town and even though touristy it has kept its charm and authenticity. The house was clean and we loved the Mexican decor. There are plenty of spaces to find ones own quiet spot. The kitchen was well stocked including basic condiments and liquor. Communication between Iris and Marusa (the property manager) was excellent. All our questions were answered promptly. We had Carmen Castellon and Anna cook for us 3 nights and they prepared traditional Mexican meals which were superb. I would definitely recommend this home and book it again which I hope it will be soon!

SUNSET VIEW
Very nice home in N Sayulita. Great for our three generation family. Great views, beautiful grounds and pool, well appointed kitchen. Marusa, the property mgr, was very accessible and and is really nice and helpful. We used both our rented golf carts and the occasional taxi to get around with ease. Would stay there again

About the host

Hosted by Iris and Thom Bucchioni

Host profile image
Hola! We are a small family of three living in San Francisco, CA. Thom is from Cupertino, CA, a general contractor and founder of Hammerhouse Construction, Inc. Iris is from The Netherlands and has a background in finance. We love designing and building and are currently remodeling our 100+ year old fixer-upper in San Francisco, CA.

Why they chose this property

When our son was only 3 months old we traveled to Sayulita for our first family vacation. At the very end of Calle Loma Linda we rented a vacation home with beautiful views of the ocean and an empty lot below ... It was 2002. We were in the midst of the financial crisis and there was no way then that we could afford to buy a home in San Francisco ~ not even a fixer-upper but maybe an empty lot in Mexico? We fell in love with Sayulita and kept wondering about that lot. We were in Sayulita for a week or so but before we left we were the proud owners of an empty L-shaped lot. Now the dreaming could start! In 2007 we built Casa Escondida on the top part of the L-shaped lot. A one-bedroom casita ideal for the three of us to stay. The dreaming continued and in 2012 we built Villa Yerbabuena on the lower part of the lot. When we designed and built our homes we always had the privacy, comfort and needs of our family, friends, and you, our guests, in mind. Both Casa Escondida and Villa Yerbabuena are available for rent and offer space to play, space to come together, and space to retreat. Nuestra casa es su casa!

What makes this property unique

We built our home to realize a dream and believe VILLA YERBABUENA is unique in many ways; The house is built on a slope which allows for incredible ocean views from every floor and an ocean breeze. The spacious top floor with kitchen, dining room, living room, and tv-room can be transferred into a huge open-air living space in combination with the exterior patio and plunge pool. The floor to ceiling sliding doors are easily moved aside and sliding screens keep insects out. VILLA YERBABUENA is within walking distance from the center of town but far enough to escape the hustle and bustle, late night music, and early-morning crowing of roosters. From the property you hear the sound of the waves. It is located steps away from the most pristine part of Sayulita's beach and enjoys privacy and security from the publicly accessible beach. At VILLA YERBABUENA you and your family or group of friends are accommodated in one home, under one big roof, and not scattered over the property in separate casitas and lastly, at VILLA YERBABUENA you will be our ONLY guests.
