Vacation Rental Description

Tranquility, serenity, peacefulness to refresh and recharge your

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 "arriba" is an ideal vacation home for 2 persons, looking 
for a private, romantic getaway. The guesthouse features a fully 
equipped kitchen, separate private bedroom, spacious bathroom, open, 
airy living room and private palapa covered terrazss.  And for  
pampering yourselves, you'll get daily maid service, complimentary 
welcome refreshments and more.  

Enjoy the gardens or hammock admist the palms for a lazy afternoon 
of reading.  Experience the quietness and peacefulness of being 
enwrapped in lush tropical gardens. Take a dip in the pool to cool 
off.  Stroll down to the beach for a morning walk or grab chairs for 
sun worshipping in the afternoons.  Enjoy awesome views of the 
beach, sea and mountains.  All located in the et beach in 
the quaint fishing village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, just north of 
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  

Our charming guesthouse is 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!  

Spacious bathrooms and kitchens feature colorful, hand painted 
Talavera tiles and accessories.  Bedrooms feature queen-size beds, 
luxurious linens, colorfully painted walls with hand-crafted  
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.  

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.
