About this property

Villa Isabella Penthouse-Quiet Getaway

Villa Isabella is located on top of Gringo Hill and is a quiet and tranquil getaway from the busy-ness of Sayulita, yet a short walk to the beach and town center. Spend the day lounging poolside in our saltwater pool or relax on one of your two private patios, which have outdoor dining, a bed, and a hammock, perfect for sunrise coffee, sunbathing, yoga, or sunset cocktails.

Your personal concierge will help make any and all arrangements that you may need, so that way you can have a truly relaxing vacation.

More information
The space

This beautiful, open architecture casa will give you the feeling of Mexico. With a personal concierge, you will find that you have a unique blend of luxury and "bohemian comfort." Villa Isabella is a very relaxed environment without sacrificing the refinements you are used to at home.

All units at Villa Isabella have their own outdoor patio space with hammocks (this unit also has a private rooftop patio with ocean views) as well as access to the pool. The property is very secure (gated, security walls) as well as the individual casas. You will feel very secure and we have never had an incident of break in or theft.

We provide purified water, coffee, towels and cleaning service 3 times per week. The bed is super comfortable with luxury sheets and bedding. Also, with a full kitchen you can make meals at home!

We also provide you with a guidebook of our favorite recommendations around town. Jonathan, your concierge, is also available in-person for anything you may need during your stay, from reservations to fresh towels, he will make sure you feel right at home.

Guest access

Guests have access through two gates. One is best used for walking to town while the back gate accesses the street and parking areas.

Interaction with guests

Jonathan will be your personal concierge. Born and raised in Sayulita, he is a wealth of knowledge about the area. He can help you make reservations, reserve a golf cart, find the best tacos in town, and more.

From the moment that you step foot on the plane to Mexico, Jonathan will be in contact with you by text and What's App. He will greet you in-person at your casita with some local Sayulita treats and help get you set up for your stay.

You can count on Jonathan for anything that you need during your entire time in Sayulita.

Before your arrival, we are available for any questions and assistance that you may have. We love Sayulita and our greatest desire is that you love it as much as we do!

Other things to note

Sayulita can get pretty busy and loud, especially at night. Privacy and tranquility are very important to us which is why we love Villa Isabella so much. We are just far enough away from town that the noise and music of the bars and restaurants doesn't reach us, but we are a quick walk if that's something you are interested in doing!

**Summer notes - between the months of July and October Sayulita is in "construction season". This town is growing and it is growing FAST. People tend to build between these months and although we will never rent the Casa while we are doing any substantial work, the neighborhood (and entire town) may be busy and noisy during the day. Please keep this in mind.

The walk to Villa Isabella has beautiful jungle views. The pool is a great way to cool off after taking in the scenery. You can also rent a golf cart in town and zip right up to the top of Gringo Hill to Villa Isabella!

If this is already booked, don't worry! We have two other casitas available:

I loved the open air feel of this property. Very quiet hideaway. The rooftop offered amazing panoramic views of the countryside and the stargazing was splendid.

Beautiful quiet villa

We loved this villa. It was up on the hill away from the noise of town. Easy walk down to town for food. The pool was great. We loved the private roof and the deck. Spacious and beautiful inside. Jonathan was great and very helpful during our stay.

Our stay in Sayulita

We loved everything about Villa Isabella! Windows everywhere looking out on lush landscape and ocean views. The rooftop patio was our favorite. Jonathan took care of our airport transfers and the driver, Teo, was there to pick us up even when our flight was delayed and he went out of his way to give us tips on places to eat, etc. The condo is so clean, comfortable bed, awesome shower...we loved the drinking water dispenser...a life saver. The walk is pretty steep on cobblestone streets so it is not for the physically challenged. The town of Sayulita is adorable...great food. We hiked the jungle trail to San Pancho (another cute town) and also did the half day snorkel and whale watching tour to Las Marietas. So worth it!

Quiet Oasis above Sayulita

Stunning studio with view from balcony to the ocean and access to a rooftop deck with even better views. This is at the top of the hill so the views are great. Lush landscaping and spotless room. Yet only a few minute walk into town! Feels new but has authentic Mexican style. Would return! House manager Johnathan is awesome and helpful.

Quiet and relaxing stay

We enjoyed our stay and found our accommodations to be a comfortable little nest up on the hill. Close to the square and all the restaurants yet far enough to not hear the busyness down below of Sayulita town. We appreciate that Jonathan and Sarah were there to help with anything we needed. Only caveat is that the kitchen needs to be a little better equipped for the quality of this property

Excellent property

The villa was exactly as described and more. Absolutely spotless on arrival and meticulous cleaning service every 2 days. Jonathan was always prompt on answering our questions before arrival and made our arrival smooth. The villa itself is like paradise, quiet and serene. The road to town is steep and rough so the rental of a golf cart was perfect. Definitely will return and would highly recommend this place .

From bad to good

When we arrived at the villa we were unable to access the road due to construction which made for a long and angry few hours driving in circles. Once we were able to get to the location we were unable to get inside as there was a gate code and no one was there to greet us. It became very stressful as I was not aware we needed a code . I tried to send an email through VRBO and it stated the listing was unavailable, when I tried to call the number, it was disconnected and at this point my heart sunk thinking we were scammed. At this point my Husband told me to change our flight and we were going home. While I was looking at flights my Husband made some calls was able to get in touch with Jonathan and he showed up within 5 minutes. By then I was in tears and stressed out but Jonathan apologized and informed us how Mexico just changed something in regards to their phone systems which is why I was unable to get ahold of him. (Not sure how my husband made it work, but thank god he did) The villa was beautiful and peaceful, quiet and clean. We spent the nights laying outside on the hammock taking in all the nature sounds. We spent ALOT of time in the pool which was a great place to cool off. Though, at one point a little boy just walked in the side gate and stared at us which made us wonder how secure everything really was and who this kid belonged to. It was a 6 min walk straight down a path off the side gate to the city center, which we did multiple times a day. The location was great and everything was beautiful and Jonathan was helpful. We would definitely come and stay again . Though now I know to receive all the needed information before we arrive. It startedj off horrible but thankfully ended great. I would also ask for an ant spray because the amount of little ants were overwhelming and on everything. Overall it was great and quiet and peaceful. I only gave 4 stars due to how it started. I definitely didn’t want to be in tears.

LOVED our stay here!!! Truly was a great location for us, away from the noise of town...beautiful ocean view from rooftop patio!! Spent every morning up there! The casita itself was perfect!! We so enjoyed the outdoor couch and hammock...felt like we were living in the trees...and the pool area is beautiful!! Jonathan was AWESOME!!! :) Yes this place is located up on a hill but we enjoyed walking especially after dinner! If you would like to rent a golf cart I highly recommend Roys!!! We did use them for a few days! My husband and I spent 2 weeks here and we didn't want to leave!! The hosts and house manager were very quick to respond to any questions or needs we may have!! We WILL be back and definitely stay here again!!!

Casa Isabella was absolutely wonderful. The hilltop neighborhood is very tropical, peaceful, & close to town. The territorial & ocean view from the private rooftop deck is magnificent. I loved the large veranda complete with hammock & wide built in cushioned sofa. The tropical poolside setting was great.. loved the waterfall at the pool. The floor plan of this large studio space was perfect & the king size bed was really comfortable. Jonathan is one of the kindest, most personable people I’ve ever met. He went out of his way to make my stay perfect. He provided fresh coconuts & drove me to my second Sayulita villa in his golf cart. I became friends with his sister while I visited too! I highly recommend staying at Casa Isabella. The extreme bumpy cobblestone street leading down to town was hard on my feet. A golf cart would have made it better for me. I took a taxi home up the steep hill each night.
