Casa Las Palmas in Playa Las Tortugas is your perfect tropical Mexican get away. Located 70 miles north of Puerto Villarta airport or a 1 1/2 hour drive through areas of old growth jungle and quaint Mexican villages is an isolated open stretch of beach as far as the eye can see. In this coconut palm grove with beautiful manicured gardens, common area pool and active sea turtle sanctuary, is our home away from home. “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.” Alaska Airlines Magazine Our home with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor each with a full bath, walk in shower and individual beach access with outdoor shower will meet all your needs. A winding stairwell guides you to the second floor living/dining/kitchen area with 2 covered patios and 1/2 bath. The views of the beach and gardens are easily enjoyed from this level, while you are cooking in the open kitchen listening to music and visiting with family/guests. Now take the staircase to the roof terrace with it's own thatched palapa to cook on our grill, sunbathe, play board games, read a book or just sit and listen to the crashing waves on the beach, watch the incredible sunsets, stare at the stars so brilliant you think you can touch them. The chairs and lounges are so comfortable, the breezes so pleasing and the views so incredible that you may not leave this inviting terrace other than to refill your drink or go find a snack. For those of you who would like to leave the driving and cooking to us, we are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, as well as meals prepared by our wonderful cooks. You may also 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 might 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. “A residential development dedicated to environmentally conscious living”. ~ Robb Report Vacation Homes
