San Francisco House | EL NIDO DE LA TORTUGA - A Poolside, Cozy Casita Nestled Into the Hillside

2 Bedroom House in San Francisco, San Francisco (San Pancho)

EL NIDO DE LA TORTUGA (The Nest of the Turtle) is a little casita nestled into the hillside and cozied up under the Big House (LA CASA QUE CANTA -- The House the Sings). When you enter the courtyard of the property you need to go down two flights of stairs to get to EL NIDO.
It is located just a few steps away from the Family Pool, which was designed to be both safe and a constant delight to children of all ages. It has a complete kitchen, a small but comfortable sitting area inside, and a sunny one outside. It has two bedrooms -- the master bedroom has a king-sized bed; the other room is a bunk room with a set of bunk beds. Its bathroom has dual showers.
You might wonder what makes EL NIDO special. The initial inspiration came from the fact that San Pancho is a turtle sanctuary and we wanted to honor the great work of Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde. Keeping with the sense of a sanctuary, we wanted our NEST to be small, safe, distinctive, and like any self-respecting turtle's nest, grounded.
In keeping with that initial inspiration, our architect/interior design team created a tropical forest motif for the bathroom with its two showers and timbers providing the supply of water and lighting. The bathroom sink is onyx. The marble gives evidence of the antediluvian past with all kinds of crustacean fossils. A couple of stone turtles will share this most intimate part of the NEST, the double shower.
Likewise the bunk room feels like a tree house.
The sitting area and the kitchen are filled with Mexican artifacts -- tiles, masks, wall hangings, carefully and expertly carved pine furniture.
We have also recently made some upgrades to the property. This includes adding a generator, in case of power outages. We now have 2 different wifi services (fiber and Starlink satellite) and a switch that will toggle between them if 1 goes down. We also have an expansive mesh wifi network ensures the entire property with fast wifi. You are guaranteed to have power and internet connectivity.
EL NIDO DE LA TORTUGA is one of three houses in this complex. LA CASA QUE CANTA is above the NIDO. A second home, the CASITA CELESTIAL is further down the hill. The entire property has purified water which means it's not necessary to drink bottled water. If you look at the photo of the back of the property, you can see the entrance to EL NIDO on the lower left side, on the same deck as the pool. It is very private, a five minute walk to the beach and another 20 to town. You will not hear the sounds of any other guests, but you will hear the beating of the surf and the rustling of the palm fronds. You will also hear the singing of the birds and the cackling of the Chachalacas.
SAN PANCHO is a haven. It is 50 minutes north of the airport in Puerto Vallarta. It has about 2000 to 2500 Mexican Nationals and a moderate presence of Gringoes, but is now growing rapidly. There is a high level of respect for the Mexican culture among those who have chosen to live in San Pancho. The restaurants are excellent. The beach is beautiful and not overloaded with people. There are many activities available-- from attending polo matches to going on birding walks (we are a bird sanctuary), to being present when the infant turtles are released into the perils of the ocean. And, of course, the weather is ideal.

Fred B. May 31, 2024 03:25:03 AM

Summary: Wonderful unit with all the comforts for a most relaxing visit to San Pancho with the sound of yer ocean and birds chirping away. Full kitchen was a blessing and the swimming pool was fantastic for a dip in the afternoon. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was easy to walk or taxi to town (or golf cart if you so desired). Fantastic restaurants in San Pancho, mercado on Tuesday, incredible sunsets at the beach every night. Highly recommend Villa de Vistas!!!!

Summary: It couldn't have been better. A lovely, lovely place that has become our Mexican home away from home.

William B. Mar 7, 2024 12:30:09 AM

Summary: We had a lovely time staying in San Pancho - the food was fantastic in town and the vrbo was exactly what we wanted for our family of 4.

Alea W. Feb 28, 2024 09:42:47 AM

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was clean, spacious, and comfortable. It was far enough away from town for relaxing and quiet evenings, but an easy trip in to enjoy all the conveniences of town. We loved the walk to town each day (a bit long for some, but we loved it) and enjoyed the nearby beach.

Carol B. Jan 31, 2024 11:17:20 AM

Summary: We loved everything about our stay. The villa was well equipped, artfully built, beautifully landscaped with a pleasant (though steep) walk through tropical plants and down a road to an amazing sparsely populated beach. We walked to town in the mornings via the beach where there were more people and beach action. The pool was the perfect temperature and we enjoyed coming home and taking a swim at the end of the day. The gracious hosts, Melissa and Bill were in the main house when we were there and we enjoyed meeting them and hearing their story. Marie, the concierge, was very responsive and helpful! All in all, we had a wonderful time & felt very grateful for our relaxing get-away.

Summary: The property itself was beautiful! The tilework on every step leading to and from the property and down to the beach was incredible as was the tile mosaic on the pool. It was simply a stunning estate in the midst of a jungle, and we were enchanted! Thank you for the wonderful assistance from Marie and Iris. We hope to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Summary: We had an excellent stay at this beautiful property. Everything was extremely clean and in great condition. The bedrooms were comfortable and air conditioned. Check in was easy and the guidebook provided us with important information that helped us plan our stay. We (and our toddler) loved ending each afternoon in the beautiful pool. San Pancho is an amazing town and we would definitely return.

Peter K. Apr 16, 2023 08:01:53 PM

Summary: Super well maintained retreat on the north edge of the beach. Marie was very helpful and available

Larry G. Apr 12, 2023 08:52:44 PM

Summary: What a beautiful property. Absolutely amazing pool area. Melissa and Maria made us feel like family. It was a great vacation made even better by this gem of a rental and the people who run it. Thank you for the wonderful week in paradise.

Amy A. Mar 26, 2023 11:29:09 PM

Summary: We loved this property! The kids spent a lot of time in the pool. The village of San Pancho is beautiful but has changed a lot and is getting more expensive. The property is too far to walk to town if you have kids but we rented a golf cart to solve that and it turned out that the kids absolutely loved the golf cart lol. Our hosts Melissa and Bill are very kind and lovely people and it was a pleasure to meet them. Our concierge Marie was very helpful organizing things for us before we arrived like a private chef to come to our place and tours/local advice. We can’t wait to come back!
