Casa Linda, beachfront executive home at Playa Las Tortugas in Playa Las Tortugas

Casa Linda is one of Playa Las Tortugas' most luxurious beachfront homes, in a perfect location only steps from the soft warm sand and clear blue Pacific Ocean. From its well-appointed interior you have practically one hundred eighty degrees of ocean and sunset views that are simply incomparable. This
3,400 sq. ft. beachfront home with over 1,000 sq. ft. of upper terrace is the very definition of "beach vacation"!
Playa Las Tortugas is a small, environmentally aware residential community that features rental options on a handful of the striking properties....... built on what was once a coconut plantation.
While the ocean waves beckon from one side of our home, on the other side you can enjoy a swim in the fresh water pool at Playa Las Tortugas, with its palm-roofed palapa and comfortable sunning chairs, or just relax with a cool drink.
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 large pool for guest use, shared by
our Playa Las Tortugas homes.
The granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances of the well-equipped gourmet kitchen accommodate both casual and more serious chefs. Forthose of you who might enjoy a rest from cooking, traditional Mexican meals can be prepared for you by our wonderful cooks.
The large master suite has its own private bath with onyx countertops, dual spray heads in the large
shower, an incredible view to the ocean as you see above, and its own ocean view patio and separate beach entrance.
Four adults can sleep comfortably in the two custom-decorated bedrooms, with a fifth adult or two children (6 years and older) in the loft. Two additional full size baths serve the second bedroom and loft.
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.
From the comfortable loft and study walk out on to your upstairs terrace with sunning areas, kiosk for shade, and a custom BBQ grill.
Look down from the terrace and you will see the two hammocks hanging just up from the sand of the beach. Once you have been accustomed to the slow rythym of life in the hammock at Casa Linda and Playa Las Tortugas, you won't want to leave.
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, where you can kayak and canoe.
If you might like a beautiful, serene, remote setting in a coconut grove on the ocean in central Mexico, you will love our home at Playa Las Tortugas.
A charming, ecologically minded property on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of pristine beach ... a true tropical paradise - 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.
"It's an idyllic spot for eco-loving families, located at the end of 11 miles of pristine white-sand beach, between the beach and an 1,100-acre salt-water tidal estuary that 's home to more than two dozen species of birds including herons, egrets, pelicans, and storks." The Sunday Republican,
Springfield, MA.

"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 on this property demonstrates the value of conscientious development." Alaska Airlines Magazine
