We are located on Puesta Del Sol 8, a side street off the main road up Gringo Hill, which is Calle Gabriel Rodriquez. Google Maps does not always recognize our address. It does, however reliably recognize our neighbors at Calle Luna 5 so you can type that into get next door, we are then the white house directly to the right between the two yellow buildings, you can recognize it by the big seahorse knocker on the door and the #8.
Drive all the way over the bridge into Sayulita, bear left at the split and make a left at the far side of the town square. On the far side of the plaza you will begin up “Gringo Hill” on Calle Marlin. Shortly after you begin driving up, you will take your first left onto Calle Gabriel Rodriguez (road not well marked just written on a wall) Once on this street you will simply follow it until the roundabout just past Calle Las Palmas on your left. This is your first right, take it uphill and as it loops around you will see two yellow houses a white house in between them. You will see a big wooden door with a seahorse knocker, you have reached Casa Nicoya!

Check-in is 4pm, Check-out is at 11am. We can occasionally be flexible depending on whether we have a reservation arriving the same day.
For bathing, we recommend bringing any shampoo, soap, or toiletry products. We have hair dryers and an iron for your use. We provide hand soap, dish and dishwasher soap. Kitchens are fully equipped with all utensils to prepare meals but do not include such items as coffee, oil, or spices. A flashlight can be helpful for evening travel in and around the village if you are not lucky enough to get a full moon.
You may like to stop at the Walmart or Mega before reaching our location for staple items and breakfast food. Both locations have banks and ATM machines with the best exchange rates (we prefer Mega since they allow a max of 9000 pesos for a 30 peso ATM fee). Sayulita has ATM’s and an exchange house, but the rate is best in Mega and Walmart. Many locations in town do not accept credit card. Some may allow you to pay in US Dollars but will give you a lower exchange rate as a cost of the convenience.
Your rental includes maid service every 4th day of your stay. This includes making the beds, emptying trash bins and cleaning bathrooms, kitchens and floors. We try to be eco-friendly, so please understand that the laundry of towels and linens is weekly unless otherwise arranged.
Golf cart rentals are available with pacificcoastgolfcars.com, saygolfcar.com or townaround.com.mx. Advanced reservation is necessary to insure availability. We are a village and golf cart supply is limited. Carts are around 50USD or 500pesos per 24 hour rental. We have golf cart parking in front of the house, and a secure parking garage with outlets for charging.
We are a 5 minute walk to the town plaza. Elderly guests and those with small children often enjoy having a golf cart or car rental but should also be warned the house itself has many stairs between levels. To reserve a golf cart, email rent@saygolfcar.com with your dates and let them know you are staying at Casa Nicoya, Sayulita. See above for help arranging airport transportation.
We provided a 5 gallon jug of purified water on every floor which will be replenished when necessary. You may use this water for drinking, cooking and brushing your teeth. Small water pitchers and cups are next to bathroom sinks to keep filled for teeth brushing ease. Tap water is safe for showering and bathing. Water is a precious commodity in Sayulita, please treat it as such and do not waste it. If the water pressure in the kitchen or bathrooms seems weak, the flow may too low to trigger the pressure pump. Please an additional faucet on at the same time for a few seconds to increase the flow and trigger the pump. Once you notice it improve, turn the extra faucet off to conserve water. Short showers ensure everyone gets a hot one. If you run out, it should refill in about 20 minutes. Please let us know if you experience any issues with water immediately.
Gas is supplied to the house by refillable tanks. During your visit you may get a cold shower or run out of gas while cooking your gourmet meal. Not to worry, we have a backup tank on hand and the other tank just needs to be opened or switched. Contact the property manager as soon as possible and we will refill or change the tanks. Electricity is very undependable and the town is subject to blackouts and brownouts frequently, especially during the rainy season. When this happens, there is really nothing to do except wait and light some candles. Usually the power is back on by morning.
