With its comfortable tropical climate and great view of the coconut palm-lined beach, surfing, boogie-boarding, kayaking, and other beach activities, it's the perfect place for your vacation getaway. The colorful sunsets are truly indescribable, and best enjoyed by taking the short winding path from our front terrace a few steps out to the lovely authentic, thatched roof, beachfront “palapa.” Casa Las Olas sleeps six persons, in three luxurious air conditioned bedrooms with comfortable king sized beds and ample closet space. Each bedroom suite includes a private bath and walk in shower, with custom stone sinks, hand-made talavera tile, high-quality fixtures and hand-crafted shell mirrors. For those who love to cook, our gourmet kitchen has everything the discerning chef requires in order to turn the wonderful foods of Mexico into meals to remember. For those who prefer, our wonderful cooks will prepare you authentic traditional meals. When you wake up in the morning to the sound of the waves, there’s a treat in store for you right out the terrace doors of our master bedroom.

Your scenic drive north through areas of old-growth jungle which border the coast is simply spectacular. Before arriving you might select a variety of fresh fruits and coconut products in stands along the road. Optionally we can arrange for transportation for you to and from the airport, and meals prepared by our wonderful cooks can be arranged.
