About this property

Unique home with fabulous views of the ocean and jungle

On a hillside, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by virgin palms, Casa Colina is a unique home with breathtaking views of both the ocean and the jungle.

If you are a nature lover, you will consider this unique home to be your piece of paradise. It provides outdoor palapa living, where you can relax and sunbathe on the large wrap around terrace while watching the migrating Humpback whales, schools of leaping Mantas, diving Pelicans, colorful flocks of Parakeets, Redheaded Woodpeckers, soaring Hawks and numerous other tropical birds. In addition to wildlife watching, without even leaving the terrace, you can view the colorful fishing and luxury sailboats that ride the swells of the bay.

This home is a perfect setting for a couple looking for a very private location, as well as the place for 2 couples choosing to vacation together, as the house features two separate bedroom suites with queen size beds and private baths, both featuring unique open tropic showers, enhancing your experience in this beautiful setting, by allowing you to bathe in utmost privacy while feeling you are part of the surrounding tropical environment.

In addition, the house has 2 separate outdoor patios. On the side patio, you can position your lounge chair to take advantage of the jungle and ocean views. On the front patio, you will enjoy the rhythmic sounds of the ocean, while watching the surf break on the shore and rocks below.

If you have a more active vacation in mind, the white sand beach, located just below the house, offers swimming, snorkeling, fishing, sea kyaking, and surfing. If you are a golfer, you can access the Los Muertas Golf Club by taking a 10-minute walk towards the village. Numerous excursions are also offered by tour companies located in the San Pancho pueblo, which can be accessed by walking 10-15 minutes into the village. If tennis is your sport, you can play on a private clay court, available, by reservation only, by taking a short walk into the jungle. If you are looking for a swimming pool, there is large one with a bar, located about 10 minutes down the road at The El Patron Beach Club

In the friendly and often lively Mexican fishing village of San Pancho, you can try out your Spanish and visit the numerous restaurants serving delicious local dishes and fresh seafood.

A great Saturday night activity is walking to the polo field in the village of San Pancho to watch a polo match. There is also a restaurant next to the polo field where you can have dinner and drinks while watching the match from your table.
Keywords: Spectacular panoramic views A 15 minute walk into the village of San Pancho. Beach access directly in front of the property. Definitely THE PLACE for tropical bird and whale watching.

We feel fortunate to have Abel Orozco as our amazing manager. Having Abel, who lives close by, gives our guests access to someone who is just a few minutes away, should they have any questions regarding their stay or the property.

Please let us know any questions you may have.

Wouldn’t go back without upgrades being completed.
Great location. 20 min walk along beach to town. House is an authentic Mexico Casita outside and inside. Brilliant with a beautiful view. Extremely shocked and disappointed in sheets, pillows, towels and kitchen amenities. Desperately need to be upgraded. No bed nets. Bug bitten all night even with deet spray . Very very old bed sheets with stains and holes. Very very old pillows with stains. Very very old towels with stains and tears. Stains on curtains that were held up by cloths pegs. Very very old kitchen supplies and incomplete set up for usage. Mildew and mold on the living room furniture. Owner was prompt to email reply up until full payment completed and then the only way I was able to reach the owner was with a phone call days before our arrival to request directions and address of house and arrival details. She then emailed info to me. Owner, however seemed lovely and was pleasant to speak with and shared insights to area. Manager Abel was very attentive and we highly recommend his management.

Gorgeous!
We had an incredible time at Casa Colina! Fabulous view of the ocean, most mornings we saw whale spouts. We loved living basically outside for a week. We also got in great shape walking up the hill to the house everyday!

Unbelievable sunsets, stars, birds, gorgeous architecture
Beautifully designed house with lots of outdoor space (and shade to escape the sun when it gets too much.) The two bedrooms/ bathrooms are very separate so would work really well for two couples. I would recommend getting a golf cart because it is up pretty high on the hill and about a 30 - 35 minute walk from town -- doable walking but better with golf cart. Very quiet and private, a real escape. There is no pool but there is easy access to an outdoor shower. The owner tries very hard to make you comfortable and happy. Really loved this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Paula M

Host profile image
My favorite spot is in the hammock on the front patio of Casa Colina. Great place to watch the changing of the light as the sun moves across the sky, the flight and chase of the beautiful tropical birds, as well as the spouting of the Humpback whales as they do their yearly migration from the northern waters of Alaska to the Bay of Banderas.
Also my favorite spot for reading a good book or just taking a mid day nap.

Why they chose this property

We never intended to buy property in Mexico. We were just on an extended trip through Mexico in our new RV. Once we discovered the beauty of the tropical paradise called 'San Pancho, we were hooked! The RV trip we had planned through Mexico and up the eastern coast of the USA, came to an abrupt end in San Pancho! That was about 22 years ago. We did eventually take an extended trip through Mexico, in addition to exploring the East Coast of the U.S. but the tropical beauty, along with welcoming people of San Pancho, continues to draw us back to our favorite place, San Pancho, year after year!

The beauty of San Pancho inspired my husband to design our beautiful and unique home, Casa Colina. After spending numerous hours on our hill, recording the direction and times of the changing breezes, he designed 6 foot glass doors, strategically placed to take full advantage of the tropical breezes. As another way of augmenting the flow of the air, he designed the palapa roof, made of Royal Palm fronds and natural wood, that shelters the front half of the house, in addition to the coupala that sits at the peak of the roof. He then added three ceiling fans to the palapa roof in addition to hanging one in each bedroom. All his careful planning and design gives us a home that is very comfortable without the need for any air conditioning until well into the summer months. At that time, we head for the much cooler summers of the NW.

I am also a music lover and my husband's additional thoughtfulness resulted in built in speakers in the front of the house, giving us the amazing effect of beautiful surround sound!

What makes this property unique

The increased population of San Pancho has brought more varied and excellent restaurants, a golf course that is open to the public, a polo field hosting Friday evening polo matches, festivals throughout the year with one of the annual highlights being the February music festival!

As more visitors from all over the world have continued to discover San Pancho, our local hospital has also enlarged and upgraded it's facilities. No matter where you are in San Pancho, the hospital is approximately 10 minutes away!!!

We feel extremely fortunate to have Abel Orozco as our amazing manager. Having Abel, who lives close by, gives our guests access to someone who is just a few minutes away, should they have any questions regarding their stay or the property.
