Vacation Rental Description

Tranquility, serenity, peacefulness to refresh and recharge your  
spirit … that’s Casa Baku! Offering you peace of mind, a chance to  
catch your breath and get back in touch with yourself.  Old world  
Mexican charm, handcrafted  
furnishings, thoughtful amenities and affordable luxury create an  
enchanting, tropical beachfront get away to indulge yourself  
in “simply being.”    
 
Casa Baku offers two spectacular guesthouses ideal for 2 persons,  
each with private, separate entrances. Each guesthouse features a  
fully equipped kitchen, separate private bedroom, spacious bathroom,  
lovely living room, daily maid service, complimentary welcome  
refreshments, private palapa covered terrazas, incredible views,  
pool with outdoor bathroom and shower, and a quiet beach in  
the quaint fishing village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, just north of  
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.   
 
Our charming guesthouses are meticulously designed and luxuriously  
appointed with the casual elegance of Vallarta style offering  
awesome views of Banderas Bay and the majestic Sierra Madre  
Mountains in the background. Unbelievable sunrises paint the early  
morning skies while incredible sunsets color the skies over the  
foothills behind us at dusk. Across the bay, Puerto Vallarta’s  
lights twinkle like glistening gems in the clear night skies, whales  
play in the warm ocean waters, sailboats snuggle into La Cruz’s calm  
harbor, fishermen arrive safely back at port with their fresh catch  
of the day. What could be more heavenly!   
 
Both guesthouses offer prime views of the sea to the front and  
sides.  The downstairs environment creates a feeling of being  
enwrapped in tropical gardens, creating an safe oasis while the  
upstairs proudly boasts of panoramic views of the Bay. Spacious  
bathrooms and kitchens feature colorful, hand painted Talavera tiles  
and accessories.  Bedrooms feature queen-size beds, luxurious  
linens, colorfully painted walls with hand-made artwork to create a  
soothing environment for those resting hours, whether at night or a  
siesta in the afternoon. Pebbles and shells adorn floor and wall  
designs, acid etched countertops, bamboo handcrafted doors,  
wonderful handcrafted furnishings and beautiful original artwork  
create a luxurious living space with a rustic flair.  The natural  
beauty of the outside environment touches your inside living space  
with endless views of the bay, mountains, beach and gardens.  The  
guest house is ideally designed for two people. 
 
Pathways lead you to the pool which is surrounded in terra cotta and  
cobalt blue tiles. Catch a day of sun by the pool admist flowering  
gardens or enjoy a restful moment or two on a cozy, shady sitting  
area.  Take the steps down and head across to the private pathway  
leading to the beach. The beach in front of Casa Baku offers you a  
delightfully tranquil environment to get away from it all.  There  
are no jet skis whizzing by; there are no vendors selling you their  
wares; there is little to no traffic. Simply said, it is a natural,  
undeveloped beach with a touch of wild thrown in … a perfect space  
to capture that feeling of being totally by yourself.     
 
Casa Baku in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is located on the north coast of  
Bahia de Banderas (the western hemisphere’s 2nd largest bay) away  
from the hustle-bustle of the more populated international resort  
destination of Puerto Vallarta.  The small sleepy village of La Cruz  
de Huanacaxtle is approximately 15 miles north from Vallarta and the  
international airport. It is American owned and operated by  
Marianne Jacobs and Mike Loesch.  
 
At Casa Baku, you’ll be touched by the romance of living in the  
tropics and the enchantment of the sea while enjoying a simpler life  
in a small Mexican village. Casa Baku offers plenty of space  
situated on 20,000 sq ft of property away from gated communities and  
traditional resort lodgings.  It's easy to experience a sense  
of "remote" while proximity to the village affords you all  
convenience of stores, restaurants and live music entertainment.   
Buses and taxis, of course, are readily available when you want to  
explore beyond our cozy village.

Activities and Attractions

Whether you’re up for lazy days or “not so” lazy days, you’ll find  
it's your choice at Casa Baku. Take a 5 minute stroll down the  
beach to one of the local palapa restaurants for an ice cold  
cerverza (beer) and “huachinango entero” (grilled whole red snapper)  
or through the village to get your favorite homemade ice cream.  
Visit the local Wednesday tiangi’s (markets), pick out your fresh  
catch of the day at the “Pescaderia” (fish market), listen to an  
evening of live music talent, dine out at one of the local  
restaurants (Black Forest, Caledonia, Jardin del Pulpo, La Cruz’s  
infamous Street Taco’s, more), visit the art galleries featuring  
Mexican or Huichol hand-crafted art (local native Indians), or join  
yoga or Spanish classes twice a week at Philo’s Music Studio and  
Community Center. Swimming, beachcombing, snorkeling and sunbathing  
are, of course, popular activities as well.  And then, of course,  
there is the favorite sport of simply “doing nothing” with the  
exception of curling up in a cool cozy spot with your favorite  
libation and merely soaking up the beauty and tranquility  
surrounding you. 
 
Nearby Puerto Vallarta offers world class shopping, first class  
dining, Mexican fiestas, mariachis, numerous art galleries featuring  
famous Mexican artists and more.  Or head out to the northern tip of  
the Bay to Punta de Mita for a delightful day on the beaches sitting  
under palapas, where the shopping comes to you.  You can find almost  
every Mexican craft available there - hand-woven blankets, jewelry,  
hand-crafted wood objects, talavera bowls and platters, leather  
goods, etc.  Or enjoy a romantic evening at one of our favorite  
restaurants, El Dorado, where food is outstanding, service is  
remarkable, and sunsets are exceptional.   
 
The whole Bay area is steeped with opportunities for snorkeling,  
fishing, whale watching, sailing, swimming with dolphins,  
parasailing, scuba diving, eco-tours, jungle adventures, kayaking,  
boogie boarding, jungle adventures, horseback riding, golfing at six  
different courses, hot springs and more.  The list seems to be  
endless.    
 
After returning from a day of adventuring, Casa Baku offers you  
awesome views, privates spaces and cool breezes to caress you as the  
sounds of gentle waves lull you off to dreamland.  So whether you’re  
fancy is watching the sunrises paint the skies glorious colors,  
soaking up the sun, lingering over conversations with candles  
glowing in the night or simply gazing at the twinkling stars, we‘re  
sure you‘ll be soothed by the tranquility and serenity of Casa  
Baku.
