Stunning Property
This property has a stunning view of the town and the Pacific both inside and out. The pool offers hours of fun and relaxation. Don't plan a lot of extracurricular activities, because you will not want to leave this oasis of tranquility. Very large, clean and comfortable home. I highly recommend it.

Amazing!!
My adult kids and myself had an amazing week at Casa Blanca. The view is probably the best I've ever seen. We even saw whales from our balcony. We loved the pool and the short distance to the beach and into town. We cooked breakfast and a few dinners in the villa and enjoyed walking into town for dinner the rest of the evenings. Polly and David were both excellent hosts. I would highly recommend Casa Blanca.

Casa Blanca-What a Gem!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely, spacious Mexican villa. Our favorite thing was the commanding vistas of the coastline, town and surrounding jungle hillsides from the pool deck. The home was beautifully appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house has two wings and tons of outside space, so it felt very roomy for 4 adults, but would easily accommodate more. It was fun having 2 restaurants within close proximity- one the beach- with great food and live music in the early evenings. Polly and Dave were outstanding hosts- always available if needed- and we loved getting to know them. We’re already looking forward to our return next year!

Amazing place!
Casa Blanca has the best views in town! Beaches and town are a short golf cart ride! Polly was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and excursions. The pool is amazing! Gave a 4 for accuracy of listing. The house does not have AC. It was very warm the first day/night but once the windows were all opened there was a nice breeze. Extra fans in bedrooms would be beneficial at night. Thanks for the memories hopefully, we will return one day!

We had an amazing stay at La Casa Blanca! Polly was a fantastic host and we liked having her in the casita on the back of the property. The pool overlooking the sea was were we spent our time! We had chef doris come in and cook two amazing dinners for us. You can ind her at chefdorisrivera. Sayulita and San Pancho are an easy drive and fun to explore. Thank you for hosting us and we will definitely be back!

Serenity at Casa Blanca
Our group of two families of four (including 4 teenagers) really enjoyed our week-long stay at Casa Blanca. Polly was so helpful and available to answer questions and gave good recommendations for restaurants and activities. The pool, hot tub, and panoramic views of town, the beach, ocean and sunsets from the house are the best part! We also enjoyed exploring Lo de Marcos, especially the beach, which was so much less busy than nearby San Pancho and Sayulita. Thank you Polly and David for your hospitality in making our stay at Casa Blanca so comfortable!

A hidden piece of heaven
We could not have loved our stay more at Casa Blanca. We did not want to leave. The house is perched up on a beautiful hill with amazing views of the ocean and surrounding hills and only a short distance to the beach and town. The pool and hot tub are amazing and is where we spent all of our time. There was so much useable outdoor space that we barely spent anytime inside. The house is spacious and has everything you would need. Great kitchen for cooking, plenty of everything. Good water pressure and temperatures throughout. Fans and screens everywhere so air moves through the house nicely. Polly and David were so helpful and kind and gave us lots of great tips for our stay. Lo de Marcos is a hidden gem with few Americans and lots to love. Great restaurants, uncrowded beaches, safe and easy to navigate. We are already planning our trip back. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone else about this amazing location so it retains its charm and authenticity!

Shhhhh, don't tell everyone about the best house in the best little Mexican town! The house is perfect. The pool and views are next level. The wall to town is quick, amazing beach, fantastic restaurants. We're coming back because of the giant iguana, the birds, the views, the hosts' hospitality and the memories we made.

The Star of Lo De Marcos!!
This villa is definitely a 5-star property, along with the owners David and Polly, who are also 5-star! We rented this 3 bedroom villa in Lo De Marcos for two weeks and couldn’t be happier. The villa itself has an outstanding view of the Pacific, and is superbly equipped. The kitchen was fully outfitted for all our needs and had a complete supply of pots, pans, utensils, and other accessories. From the pool table (love the pool table) to the round bar, the satellite and smart TV, beach towels, folding chairs, and boogie boards, anything you could need to enjoy some relaxation time was there. The star though was the wrap around deck with pool and hot tub that overlooked the Pacific- unbeatable! Many days we didn’t even leave the property, just lounged around the deck and pool enjoying the gorgeous view. Even seen whales cavorting in the ocean from the deck using the binoculars that they provided. If we did want to go down to the beach, it was a short 8-10 min walk, where there were four beach restaurants all clustered together- with Tomatino’s being our favourite! Great beach to walk and swim as well. David and Polly were exceptional hosts. They live in a small casita at the rear of the property and ensured that we had everything we needed, offered to assist us with any arrangements required and ensured everything at the casa was running smooth. They’re very friendly and it was always nice when they dropped by to ask how things were. We usually needed up having some great conversations. Would definitely go back to Casa Blanca!

Perfect place if you are looking to get away from the bustle of the more touristy coastal towns. Wonderful view over the ocean in a small town that is big enough to have the items you need, but small enough that you don't feel crowded.

10 Days of Bliss
Believe it or not, Casa Blanca is even better than the pictures! The entire experience was a wonderful break from today’s grim reality. Polly & Dave could not have been more helpful - answering all questions before our arrival promptly, and checking in daily to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is lovely. The 3 bedrooms are split into 2 different wings allowing privacy, and all have access onto the deck. The kitchen has everything you need and lots of counter space. The built in safe was fabulous - allowing us to leave passports, credit cards etc home, knowing they were well protected. Saving the best for last...the deck & pool! Both are wonderful. The deck is huge with many view points and options for sun & shade. We ate all the meals we had at the house outside. The mosquitos were a bit annoying but Casa Blanca even provides bug spray! The infinity pool is both stunningly beautiful and lovely to swim in. We used the hot tub almost everyday. It was perfect timing, slotted in between a last dip and dinner plans. Lo de Marcos is not touristy, but a lovely authentic Mexican town. If you are looking for glitzy restaurants and bars, this isn’t your place, but the food was both tasty & affordable with lots of options. It’s also just 10-15 minutes away from several towns - all of which are fun to explore. We had a fabulous time. Can’t thank Polly & Dave enough. Certainly hope to be back there soon!!

Lo De Marcos view!
We spent 4 nights in Casa Blanca in February. What. A. Place! The house sits on a hill overlooking the south part of town, just a short walk down to some cute beach restaurants, one of which has music a few nights a week. Everything was as it should be. The pool was fantastic and we also played on the pool table several times. The driveway is steep, so if you’re unable to walk up the slope, consider renting a golf cart or using you car if you have one. However, all of our group of 59-69 year olds enjoyed the short walk to the beach and into town. We arranged a fishing trip from the beach and, while we didn’t catch any (which I think is rare), we saw both dolphins and whales which made the excursion worthwhile. It was difficult each day to decide if we wanted to stay at the house and enjoy it and its view, or to go enjoy the beach and town. We did both :)

One week at Casa Blanca was not enough time to enjoy this amazing property. The house and pool has an "ah-h" factor that at once calms, and thrills you. The architecture of the home is spectacular. We marveled at it throughout our stay. Polly and David, your kind attention to our comfort was more than appreciated. We felt looked after, without feeling any intrusion on your part. Hats off to both of you. The work you've done (and plan to do) is phenomenal. As for Lo de Marcos? It fit everyone's desire to have fun without having a heavy tourist vibe. We were thoroughly charmed with everything. This is the best place we've ever stayed. It is magical, spacious, and welcoming. Our applause is yours.

Walk in and just say Wow!
The place is even better than the pictures! Spacious and welcoming.. stocked with everything. Comfortable furnishings, soft towels, great hot tub at sunset. The deck and view are perfect for watching whales, boats and surfers. And the care and attention by our hosts could not have been better. A quick walk to the beach and Tomatino’s beach bar ( the only place we found that took a credit card). Used the ATM at the plaza for pesos, found an organic store for fresh washed greens, cheese, and kombucha. The walk to Playa Los Vendanos is cool and pleasant in the morning. We arrived by taxi so a golf cart is needed if you don’t have a car. I didn’t know I should have reserved ahead of time as places were sold out, but Polly helped arrange a personal one for us. ( Guapo or L &M if you want to reserve). In short, we loved everything, felt very safe and grateful for choosing Casa Blanca and seeing De Lo Marcos. We stayed in Sayulita the week before that was fun but noisy and hectic. This beach was so relaxing with just a couple of pleasant beach vendors. Lots of good waves while we were here for beach boarding, stand up paddling and surfing— better than Sayulita. Again, muchas gracias, Polly and Dave!

This is a beautiful property with jungle and coastal views. The description is accurate and the managers/owners are very attentive and helpful. We loved the beach, town, restaurants, everything is so close. We did rent a car from the airport plus had a golf cart which I highly recommend for running to the grocery store or beach. The people in Lo De Marcos are very friendly and we always felt safe. Great food and music as well at restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked plus paper towels, toilet paper are provided. Beach towels, chairs and cooler were also included with the rental. We recommend this beautiful rental and had a wonderful family vacation for a party of six with ample room. Pool table was super fun at night as well. Only regret was leaving.

The big house on the hill.
The location was good, the views spectacular and access to town easy because we rented a golfcart. The property is in need of some TLC , security lights repaired. The gate is never locked and there is easy access to the pool , deçk and bedroom areas. Would of been nice if these areas where gated for better security .There is no air conditioning and the place gets humid and hot quick if the windows are kepted closed. The fans work great. Nice that there are so many windows that are screened , to let the night breeze in .but found out the hard way that some windows and all the screens do not lock. The hot tub was a nice touch but at the wrong time of day and only runs for an hour from 5 to 6 pm, never thought about asking to change the time ...the beaches here are wonderful you can hear the waves from the bed!
