Features "Casa Maria", completed in 2007, is one of the newest additions to the villas at Playa Las Tortugas, and one of the most beautiful, characterized by unusual and luxurious finish materials, artwork, and furnishings. Come visit Casa Maria to experience the incomparable variety of color combinations at sunset, sometimes best enjoyed as you stroll down the soft, warm sand beach. “I’ve been in search of the perfect beach since I first saw the ocean decades ago. Now I’ve found it.” The Washington Post We invite you to pass through our entry to a colorful home where you’ll find two spacious and restful bedroom suites. Each bedroom has more than ample closet space, a comfortable padded-top king-sized mattress and it’s own full bath. Our custom-decorated bedrooms accommodate up to four adults, while two more guests are welcome in the living area which has an adjacent half-bath. You’ll love the granite countertops from South America, the custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances of our classy kitchen which is conveniently placed adjacent to the dining and living areas to create a friendly socializing atmosphere. For those who’d prefer to have meals cooked for them (you are on vacation, after all!), a cooking service is offered where our talented cook will come and prepare delicious traditional Mexican dishes in your home. In the early mornings you can hear the sounds of tropical birds such as the “chachalaca” inhabiting trees at the edge of the adjacent estuary. In late afternoons you can see flocks of many different species of birds, some quite rare, going to the estuary to feed; and, at night you can sleep to the sound of the waves. Whatever your activities, Casa Maria is a beauty in which you can enjoy them. Surrounding Area 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 warm 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 (PVR) International Airport to Playa Las Tortugas, and the roads are normally well-maintained.
