Vacation Rental Description

Casa Amarilla at Playa Las Tortugas is your quiet oasis on miles of palm-lined beach north of Puerto 
Vallarta.

“The next morning, about 15 miles down the coast, I find my Shangri-La, the place I could recommend 
without reservation or caveat. I almost miss it as I vacillate about whether to follow a dirt road 
because of a sign that simply states Playa Las Tortugas.” The Washington Post 

Experience indescribable sunsets while sipping something fruity and tropical from a coconut, grilling 
on the BBQ, or enjoying a glass of wine by the pool.  Watch a formation of pelicans fly just over the 
wave tops, or see whales breach and dolphins play practically in your vast front yard.

Paddle by canoe or kayak through the tidal mangrove estuary to see mulitudes of tropical birds 
endemic to this beautiful state. Have a relaxing and intense massage under the palapa by our talented 
massage therapist. Take in the aroma of blooming plumeria and just....relax.

Enjoy a traditional meal prepared by our wonderful cook accompanied by a glass of Chilean wine or a 
sip of tequila. Sample the real taste of flan or a tres leche cake or make yourself at home in the 
gourmet kitchen.

“A residential development dedicated to environmentally conscious living”. Robb Report Vacation Homes 

Casa Amarilla has spacious bedrooms with king-sized and queen-sized beds, each with their own private 
bath, and accented with custom-made cedar doors and windows. Your master bedroom suite is complete 
with it's own terrace looking right down on the beach.

Each bathroom has a unique and interesting design with custom sinks such as onyx or other stone, and 
the master suite and second suite have great views from the showers. There's an additional 1/2 bath 
for your dinner guests.

The living room's domed ceiling has incredible acoustics for your choice of music on the stereo. 
Furnishings were custom made in the artisan town of Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara, and designed by the 
owners.

The living and dining areas open out to a large terrace and your own swimming pool. The pool and 
gardens are a treat, full of color and tropical aromas. Enjoy breakfast by the pool with a cup of 
robust Mexican coffee and freshly squeezed juice.

“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 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.
