About this property

Casa de Colores private house in Playa Las Tortugus

In this coconut palm grove with beautiful manicured gardens, common area pools and active sea turtle sanctuary, is our home away from home.

'The villas at Playa Las Tortugas, 70 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, share over 5 miles of perfect white beach with nothing but a coconut palm plantation. Volunteer to rescue turtle eggs on the beach, place baby turtles on the wet sand, and watch as moonlight sparkling off the waves guides them to the sea- 'Sunset Magazine'

Our 'casa' with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. 1 king pillow top bed and 2 queen size pillow top beds. Each bedroom has air-conditioning and walk in tile showers. There are approximately 3,636sq feet of interior space and 1,750sq feet of terraces. The views of the beach and gardens are easily enjoyed from each level, while you are cooking in the open kitchen listening to music and visiting with family/guests. A great kitchen for yourself that is well-equipped. Your own personal Cook and meals available upon request for your stay.

Casa de Colores offers air conditioning in all rooms – a special benefit when the mid-day temperatures heat up. The kitchen is equipped with full size appliances and bottled water is supplied. Bath and bedroom linens are provided.

On the main level for the master bedroom and the living and dining areas you’ll find over 900sq feet of terraces with a living room area that opens onto the front terrace that offers shade and a pleasing combination of indoor-outdoor space.

Up the staircase from the living room is the sunning terrace with more than 825sq feet with its own thatched palapa for shade with panoramic views of the common area gardens, the ocean, the mangroves of the estuary and the mountains. A perfect place for your evening margaritas while watching the sunset, sunbathe, play board games, read a book or just sit and listen to the crashing waves on the beach, and stare at the stars.

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.

Canoe or swim across the estuary for lunch at one of Platanitos’ six sand floored, oceanfront restaurants. Enjoy a walk or a barefooted run on over 5 miles of uninhabited sand beach that is lined with palm trees and goes on as far as the eye can see. The ocean waves are great for boogie boards, surfers, and ocean kayaks. The large community pool and the new 65 ft lap pool are just steps from Casa de Colores. Volunteering to help the Turtle Camp research facility preserve the endangered sea turtle population is a popular guest activity. Even small children can participate in the release of hatchlings - sometimes as many as 1,000 in one evening.

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, 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. Let us know we can arrange it.

We are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, you may rent a car and drive yourself which a large number of our guests do. We can send you details on the numerous car rental companies. 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.

Visit us and enjoy a tropical vacation on miles of warm pristine sand beach!

Remote paradise
A fabulous property with the choice of a fantastic deserted beach. We had our family of 5 along with one other 2other families staying in the other houses and 5 miles of fantastic beach to ourselves for a week. Participating in the release of baby sea turtles into the wild on multiple nights around sunset was the highlight of the trip. Thank you Molly and Jose!

Great Place
Beautiful house, near the ocean, bit of a drive from PVR but totally worth it. The caretakers, Alma & Jose, are awesome.

Tranquil beach getaway
Beautiful house by a beautiful beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Vallarta. We loved the sea turtle releases every evening at the turtle sanctuary right next door. We may have seen half a dozen others on the ten-mile beach in the three days we were there. Go, and relax!!

A rare treat!
We had a wonderful vacation staying at Casa de Colores! The property owners were so helpful and communicative prior to and during our stay, leaving us with no concerns about traveling with young kids to a more secluded corner of the world. The house was comfortable, immaculate, and we loved the outdoor spaces for lounging and eating! The pool was great! So refreshing and lovely steps/seats for lounging in the pool. Alma and Jose, the caretakers, were kind and attentive. Alma’s cooking was delicious and we are so glad we decided to opt for this inexpensive option for 4 of our 7 days stay. The beach was secluded, with soft sand and gorgeous sunsets. Our group was able to release turtle hatchlings! Hard to say who was more delighted by this- the kids or adults who know what a rarity this is!! We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can come back. Thank you!!

Playa de Tortugas, and they mean it. Daily releases of hundreds of them.
Spacious and comfortable. The daily turtle launches (releases) are a real treat!! Not sure about payment. Daniel at the gatehouse office took 200 Pesos per stay, or was it per day? Not sure. Alma's cooking was great. Try the Lime Pie! We ordered two to take home with us. Very nice family, Alma, Jenny and Jose. They were there every day, all day, so the place is really cared for. I have never seen a cleaner pool. Quite an expedition for groceries so bring your own. You might be able to get some fresh fish from the fishermen in the little village, Platanitos - half hour by car, ten minutes if you swim the channel which empties and refills the salt marsh, I guess that is what it is. Pleasant hanging in the current too for the 25 feet which you have to swim. (There are multiple stairs. Take the longest one that goes to the tallest building on the channel shore. The other stairs are private and do not lead to the road). Hope to return one day. Thank you Molly and Glen!
