"Casa Linda" is one of Playa Las Tortugas' most luxurious beachfront homes. From Casa Linda's well-appointed interior your ocean views are incomparable. This 3,400 sq. Ft. Beachfront home with over 1,000 sq. Ft. Of upper terrace is the very definition of "beach vacation"!

Just steps from the ocean, Casa Linda is a large two bedroom home with loft, three baths, a more than ample custom kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and with maid service included. Landscaped gardens surround our home, and there is a community pool for guest use.

The main interior living area of the house has a two-story ceiling, giving an atmosphere of openness. From the living room you walk out to a covered sitting and dining veranda just steps from the beach. Carefully selected furnishings and decorative pieces throughout the home, joined together by native marble floors, spectacular onyx bath countertops, and highlights of "tikul" stone create a comfortable and eye-pleasing atmosphere. Custom built cabinetry in the family room adjacent to the kitchen contains a television, VCR, DVD, and stereo system, with a supply of recent movies for your enjoyment.

The granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances of the gourmet kitchen accommodate both casual and more serious chefs.

Four adults can sleep comfortably in the two bedroom suites, with a fifth adult or two children (6 years and older) in the loft. The large master suite has its own private bath, with dual shower-heads, an incredible view to the ocean and it's own ocean view patio and separate beach entrance. Two additional full size baths serve the second bedroom and loft.

From the loft walk out on to your upstairs terrace with sunning areas, kiosk for shade, and a custom BBQ grill and wet bar. From here you see the two hammocks hanging just up from the sand of the beach.

Just bring a book and a bathing suit or, if you are a sportsman, we have kayaks and boogey boards for your use. We can send you information on where to rent surfboards if you don't bring your own. You can also fish in the boca or in the surf. We are adjacent to a turtle sanctuary. During turtle hatching season, you can participate in the nightwalk and assist in guiding the baby turtles to the water. To our east just behind the property are 1100 acres of mangrove estuary with many species of birds.

Our entire state of Nayarit area enjoys one of the most favorable climates in the world. Average daily year-round temperatures range from highs of 80-85 degrees (perfect beach weather) to lows of 60-70 degrees (perfect sleeping weather). Swim year round, but consider packing a light sweater for the evenings in the winter months. Rain, when it falls, generally occurs between June and September as night-time or pre-dawn thundershowers.

You can visit small typical Mexican villages, enjoy fresh fish and other local seafood at small rustic beachfront restaurants, tour a tropical river and waterfalls, see historic San Blas, and drive up through the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains to colonial Tepic where crafts of the Huichol Indians are found.

Playa Las Tortugas has kilometers of uncrowded, clean sand beach, and a number of activities both on property and nearby such as Surfing, Wave Kayaking, Boogie Boarding, Fishing, and Shelling, Canoeing, Whale Watching, Bird Watching, Walking or Running on Miles of Sand Beach, and Sea Turtle Conservation activities (during season) at the Sea Turtle Conservation Camp.

Frequently there is one festival or another in small towns within an hour of our location. There are a number of excursions you might take, with or without a guide.

Playa Las Tortugas is located on a section of coastline which is nesting habitat of several species of sea turtle in the beautiful state of Nayarit, Mexico 70 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta (PVR) International Airport and about 50 miles west of Tepic, the colonial capital of Nayarit.

We are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, you may 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 may 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.

It's quite easy to find your way from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport to Playa Las Tortugas, and the roads are normally well-maintained. Your valid driver's license is accepted in Mexico, and the driving rules are virtually the same as most countries. Write us for a copy of detailed driving instructions and a map. Your scenic drive north from the airport takes less than 2 hours and goes through areas of old-growth jungle and coastal hills.
