Full-privacy in charming 3-bdr house with heated pool, garden & jet tub

Casa la Kasbah is located in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a quaint village in the state of Nayarit 20 minutes of Puerto Vallarta international airport.

Visit the local market for your produce and fresh seafood, stroll through the town to take in the scents and watch the locals as they tend to their daily tasks.

This single-level Moroccan-style home offers the perfect environment for snowbirds looking for an alternate vacation style and enjoy a true piece of paradise. It is located in a typical yet refined neighborhood 1 block from the new Marina La Cruz and 3 blocks from the closest swimmable beach where endless activities await.

Casa la Kasbah is spacious and tastefully decorated with a focus on an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. All of the living areas open onto a 6,000-square-feet lush grassy lawn, a large free-form multi-level swimming pool and a natural stone waterfall. The patio off the kitchen has a beautiful limestone fountain and a large jet tub in the master bathroom. Fully-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need : appliances, glassware, cutlery, dishware, bakeware, utensils, toaster, blender, microwave oven, 5-burner stove and refrigerator. You will also be delighted to find a complete beach kit which includes 2 beach chairs, 1 beach umbrella and 1 ice cooler for your enjoyment

Beyond the kitchen, you will also find a washer and dryer area as well as your own pantry. Fish, shrimp, lobster and meat barbecues will create unforgettable moments by the pool as well as candle-lit romantic dinners under the moon.

The town of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle boasts everything from funky spots where you can enjoy all types of music to a number of fabulous world-class restaurants. Punta Mita with the Four Seasons and St Regis resort and world class golf courses are just 12 minutes away by car and Sayulita, the well known surfing village is just a 15 minute drive. Shop with locals at the Wednesday market for your fresh veggies, pad into town daily to pick up fresh tortillas, dine on superb street food or elegant cuisine, stroll the marina boardwalk with locals & vacationers alike, partake in the seemingly-constant local celebrations & festivals in the plaza, or become a part of the energetic la Cruz music scene at night! Of course there is always the choice of just staying at home; indeed that is exactly what many of our guests choose to do!

For stays up to 7 nights, optional housekeeping service is available for a fee with 4 days advance notice. For stays of 8 nights and more, a 4-hour weekly maid service is mandatory to ensure necessary minimum maintenance and hygiene standards in the premises. Cost is $28 usd per service, payable directly to the housekeeper at the end of each service.

Our overall experience met our expectations as we were looking for a different, authentic, local experience. We wanted to try something different from an all-inclusive for a longer term stay, and Casa de Kasbah delivered. All arrangements for transfer to and from the airport were excellent. Communication with the hosts and housekeeper were timely and very positive. We had a couple of minor technical issues that were resolved quickly and smoothly with a smile and excellent follow up from the hosts.The house is very comfortable and well equipped, and the pool was excellent. The area is a bit rustic, but we always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The local people are very nice as are all of the other tourists and long term "regulars". There is a definite sense of community, which is what we were hoping to experience.There are many good local restaurants and smaller markets and stores for most things that you would need to self-cater if you wished.All-in-all, while it wasn't "perfect" (nothing is), our stay in La Cruz was exactly what we were hoping for, and we will likely return.

This is our second stay at this property, both being three week stays. This speaks volumes as in 17 years of visiting the area we have never stayed at the same place twice! Our motivation to do so was two fold as the place is perfect and our favorite fishing captain lives two blocks away! If you want to catch fish get a hold of Dhamar Sportfishing. In 40 trips we have never been skunked! I tried to add pics of the place and fishing but kept getting an error...It is a quiet street, the house is great with ample furnishings and amenities, amazing privacy and communication with both owner and management were unparalleled. Do not hesitate!

Privacy, Pool and Relaxation

We loved La Cruz, we were so close to everything we needed. The house was amazing. We really wanted privacy and some quiet family time. Having our own large pool to just the three of us was amazing. We loved iguana watching, swimming at night with the pool lights and the lovely waterfall into the pool. The master bathroom was huge and I loved the tile in the second bathroom. The sofa was a comfortable place to nap. Rick and his management company were very responsive and we felt very well taken care of. We will go again.

We had a great time. It's a lovely place with just about everything you could need in the small fishing village of La Cruz. Couldn't keep the kids out of the pool, not that we wanted to. We also loved seeing the Iguanas wandering the yard and hanging out in the trees on the property. We had a few minor hiccups, but Rick and Julieta attended to them very quickly and were quite helpful. We'd certainly stay here again if we're returning to the area.

We spent a month here and it was amazing!! So peaceful & relaxing. The house was clean, spacious, welcoming with a beautiful yard and a pool that was heavenly! The yard, pool and house are very well taken care of by friendly professionals. The area of La Cruz is a warm friendly piece of older Mexico with everything close at hand. The small restaurants, grocery stores, local establishments are fantastic for buying all your daily needs and meals out. The owner Rick, and property manager Julieta, are quick to respond and help in any way they can. We loved it so much that we booked the house for next year! Looking forward to returning to La Cruz!!

Fabulous Property

We spent a wonderful 11 days at Casa La Kasbah. The house is in a perfect location in La Cruz - a short 2 block walk to the middle of town, and about the same to the amazing fish market. Great little restaurants only a short walk away. We were often entertained right in the back yard with a variety of music from places in the neighbourhood - none of which went past about 9:00. The house is also remarkably sound proof even though it is right on the street!! The other highlight was the pool. SO lovely!!! The fact it was heated made it easy to get into at any point during the day or evening. Communication with Rick was great - and the property manager Julieta was wonderful. Quick to respond and very helpful. Was great having the 3 bedrooms. The TV area was nice although we never actually sat there!! It was so lovely in the garden that we spent our evenings out there. The Iguanas were so entertaining! We learned a lot about them - who knew Iguanas jumped out of palm trees!!! Well - they do! They were very respectful - they love the waterfall! We would come back in a heartbeat. Loved the house and the town!!!

Home away from Home

My guests and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa Kasbah in La Cruz! The house was as described in the listing and Rick was very responsive to emails and answered all my questions prior to my arrival. He made arrangements for airport transfers, gave me recommendations for local restaurants and services (in house spa, in house chef Elizabeth, who was lovely and a great cook!), and was responsive to any problems or issues that came up. My guests and I spent a lot of time outside in the yard, hanging out by the pool. The pool man and gardener kept the pool and gardens looking great and were very discreet when they would come to do their work, but were very friendly when we wanted to chat with them. The town of La Cruz is great, but it is rustic and small. I loved it, but guests should be aware of what the town offers, and doesn't offer, before deciding to stay there for any length of time. I was there for a month and did not have a car which worked out fine for me. My guests and I walked the town a lot, mostly going to the beach, and out for dinners and groceries. If I was staying longer, I would likely want access to a vehicle to make trips to other parts of the area. There is no bank in La Cruz but there are 2 ATMs (although I only found 1). English is spoken by some locals, but I spoke Spanish most of the time when I went out shopping or out to eat. It is important to note that I felt safe in La Cruz, even when I would go out alone. Would love to go back!!

If you’re looking for a cultural experience and an amazing backyard with a private pool, this is it!

We loved the beautiful yard with pool. My husband loves tinkering with things so he enjoyed watering the yard. The fence around the yard is 8 feet tall so there is tons of privacy in a quiet neighborhood. You will hear roosters crowing in the mornings while drinking your coffee!!! We saw iguanas crossing the streets a few blocks away when we walked to dinner. We had a great time looking at the yachts when we walked to the marina. Things to keep in mind...the vines growing on the house are gorgeous; however, they do provide a home to lizards and spiders. The glass doors provide indoor/outdoor living, but they don’t seal on the bottom like homes in America so the lizards and spiders get into the house. We ended up having fun with it and made bets on who would see them first. We named them Marco & Polo! The spiders are the size of an adults palm of your hand, but we killed those. The owners were available when we needed to contact them. Some little things that would make a big difference to Americans coming on vacation would be large kitchen trash bags upon arrival, grilling tools, and a vacuum cleaner. One other thing you might consider is putting some kind of tile or backsplash in the kitchen. When people have cooked, food splattered on the walls and it won’t wash off. Overall, we have stayed in resorts in Puerto Vallarta and would prefer this over the resorts. The backyard is what makes this place along with the culture within this neighborhood!!!!

Needs a lot of work

We booked Casa Kasbah for five months, based on the online pics, we won't be doing that again. The house is on a dirt road, that has been taken over by the summer rains, and it is now, basically a dirty, dusty river bed. (Not the owner's fault, of course) The good: Outstanding pool, large and deep, albeit very cold water. The gardens and back yard are very beautiful. Beautiful tile floors throughout Good wifi signal, some English stations on TV Good ceiling fans in all rooms The not so good: The City turns off the water randomly from 10 to around 3...so no water during those hours...again, not the owner's fault, but very inconvenient. The house is NOT a Villa, rather a house with a strange floor-plan and a tiny kitchen, The bad: The furniture looks like it came from a backyard sale, vinyl couch/chair, and....beanbag chairs...how 70s! Kitchen is equipped with chipped plastic glasses, chipped mismatched plates, again...thrift shop stuff. The toilet or tub leaks in the master bathroom, forming a puddle you get to walk through every night. Tub drains very slowly...hand held shower, very clumsy and cheap Guest bathroom, rusted faucet, needs a new shower head brown water comes out of the shower, initially....then clears up. The vintage flatscreen TV is, for some reason, in the guest bedroom. The beds are hard even by Mexico standards. The only A/C unit is in the Master Bedroom, but the owner feels it necessary to charge 8 dollars USD a day, if you want it on. Doesn't matter how little it is on...8 bucks a day. If not, your other option is to open the window, which is on the road. This house in in a Mexican neighborhood, which comes with lots of noise, chickens, dogs, horses...very authentic! We left after two months, won't be returning.

Perfect place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in La Cruz. The house was perfect for us and our two teens. The pool was lovely and well maintained. The house is just a few blocks away from the central plaza in La CruZ and felt very safe. La Cruz is just charming-not too touristy & the residents were very welcoming. We were very sad to leave!
