I have had the pleasure of staying at Casa Jeanette twice, once in April of last year with my boyfriend, and again with his extended family in January. Both trips have been wonderful for a number of reasons, and we would highly recommend the home to anyone interested in staying in the Bucerias area.
Firstly, the house itself is stunning, and so thoughtfully designed. Each room is decorated with unique paintings, hammocks, comfortable beds and generous bathrooms. As a group of 9, we were so impressed with the number of showers that made freshening up after a day at the beach a breeze!
Speaking of the beach, Casa Jeanette is only a few minutes walk to the beach, and has a gorgeous view of the water from the rooftop pool/lounge area. We found the beach to be clean (no litter or seaweed which we’ve experienced in other parts of Mexico and the Caribbean), and not too busy. If you prefer complete privacy though, or fancy a midnight dip under the stars, the two outdoor pools in the home are great!
Another aspect of the home which stood out for us was the open-concept kitchen and living room area. It was so spacious and bright (from the four sliding glass doors), that it quickly became the central meeting place for everything from breakfast on the barstools to games on the huge granite table, and movies at night on the couch. There are local markets on Wednesdays and Sundays that you can walk to and pick up fresh fruits, vegetables and other farmer’s market goodies to prepare meals with. For going out, we recommend Karen’s beachfront restaurant/bar for an unbeatable view, and La Negra for really cool vibes (both in walking distance).
Complimenting the beautiful amenities at Casa Jeanette is it’s host, Marco. His extensive knowledge of the Bucerias and greater Jalisco area was obvious, and he gave us great recommendations for bike routes to cycle, and cool bars and shops in the nearby surftown of Sayulita. His warm personality set us at ease, and made us feel well taken care of on both of our stays.
Muchos gracias Marco and looking forward to staying at Casa Jeanette again!
