Spektakuläre Ocean View, Large 2 BR Custom Home + optional 1 BR Bungalow

This property is amazing. The view is incredible. The home is absolutely 5 star, right down to the woodwork, lighting, windows, kitchen, bathrooms, artwork etc etc etc. Waking up to the ocean crashing and jungle singing was heavenly. We will be back!

We had a 3 generation family escape at Casa Caruna. It was our first time in the area. The home, the view, the fresh breezes and the lush landscaping, all were a dream. We enjoyed the challenge of the walk into town and down to the beach, the craziness of town Easter week, and the calm and peace we always got to return to. The hope is serene and comfortable, the owners easy to communicate with, and it was everything we could have hoped for.

The gorgeous ocean view and cool breeze makes your body relax quickly and every aspect of this house contributes to a stress free vacation! We loved the jungle hike to the beach and hanging out at the pool. 2 gorgeous master suites make this house perfect for 2 couples.

Honestly, we were a bit worried about the critters that would be running around, but they really weren't too much of a bother. The tropical jungle walk to the semi-private beach was incredible, with overarching green bamboo, red wood trees, and wild flowers everywhere. We often saw whales in the ocean and the beach is incredibly quiet. It was a relaxing, tranquil vacation... We rented an SUV for the week, which I highly recommend. We were able to head out for several adventures- visiting Punta de Mita, shopping at the marina in Vallarta and even hitting the beaches/malecon in PV one day. The kitchen has a gas stove and all the cookware. I love cooking, so it was actually a lot of fun for a group of 4. There are only 2 beds and 2 bedrooms in the main house, but the owners were able to accommodate us with an extra mattress. The property manager was friendly and helpful.

You should note that parking is not the greatest in Sayulita, but you can walk or take a cab. The nightlife in town is incredible. The pool water was a bit cold, but as the days got sunnier, it became more tolerable.

You are not allowed to flush toilet paper in the bathroom, which will take some getting used to. Makes for a lot of laughs though and lots of areas to lounge throughout the day. Huge patios, with French doors on every ocean facing wall. Rustic contemporary was the feel, which is the best style in my opinion...

Maids come by mid week for a clean and they do provide shower towels, beach towels and simple amenities like hand soap. There were paper towels in the kitchen, spices, oils, ice in the freezer, gallons of bottled water for drinking, and an unbelievable selection of teas.

It was amazing. The property would actually make for a great retreat vacation or maybe even a romantic honeymoon. You can arrange a chef if you don't like to cook or even have a massage at the house. We ended up with just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. I would visit again for sure!!

Villa Karuna is for me the epitome of paradise. The sacred feminine imagery and energy throughout are very healing. Yes, the view is spectacular, but it was the soft curves, the artwork, and the attention to beauty in every room that was truly inspiring and deeply appreciated. Quinn and Leslie’s heartful presence was palpable.

The owner, Quinn was gracious in every way. Our experience was that of "karuna," compassionate and kind throughout.

I highly recommend this property if you want beauty, nature and peace.
