Casa Gallo is definitely 5 stars!
We had an amazing time with a large group of friends for a week stay. The house is beautifully updated and was cleaned daily, the grounds and pool maintained by professionals.
All the bedroom suites are comfortable and spacious with private bathrooms, room safes, A/C and nice dark blinds.
The huge kitchen was supplied with everything we needed so we could cook more than half of our meals together while we were there, which was an easy way to manage our large group and allowed us the social time together.
This house feels safe and private near the north end of the beach, and access to town is a 15 min walk or a quick golf cart ride (recommend to rent these). But, staying at the house offers plenty to do with the heated plunge pool, beach access, multiple decks and amazing views from every floor. Our large group had plenty of places to lounge and visit, and never felt crowded or underfoot.
It is worth booking here just to see the huge custom-made live edge dining table, it seats 22 comfortably!

It Was Fine, but Not a Good Value for Money
This is our 5th stay in a beachfront house in Sayulita. We stayed in December 2024 and paid $1,900 per night. In my view, while there are good aspects, this rental did not provide a good value for money. Here’s why:

Good
- Location. On a quiet part of the beach. It’s about a 20-minute leisurely walk to the town square (10 minutes via road by golf cart which you should get).
- Bedrooms. Beds are comfortable enough. They are all en-suite with wall unit A/C as well as key locks and safes (USE THEM!). I believe 5 of them also have day beds.
- Kitchen. Nicely equipped. Good quality appliances. Enough china, glass, and silver for large groups. Cookware is nice. Decent knives.
- Dining - Huge central table to eat at as a group
- Wet bar with a refrigerator on the pool deck (did not use).

Not So Good

- It’s not really a house. It is more 7 apartments with a courtyard. Unlike a hotel, the property cannot be adequately secured when needed (while you’re sleeping, for example). There are two gates with bicycle locks, but the common areas are easily accessible by uninvited guests. My 83 old dad just hopped the short wall next to the gate when he forgot the lock combo. We would not have stayed here had we known this.
- The wide openness makes wild life entering the space uncontrollable and inevitable. We had feral cats. We had mice. We even had nightly visits by a Coati who felt the need to leave us with unwanted “gifts.”
- No real lounging space. There is a gorgeous and massive wooden table on the main floor that takes up most of the space. There are some additional chairs, benches, and two small tables, but they seemed beyond their useful life and not very comfortable.
- We were not allowed to use the half-bath on the main level. The house manager told me upon check-in it was unavailable and I was given a key and shown the half-bath on the pool level that was to be used as a “public” facility. You spend a lot of time on the main floor, but must go up or down two flights of stairs to use a bathroom. Not great.
- No dishwasher. Doesn’t seem like it would be a big deal, but when you prepare multiple meals a day for 9 people, it is. (not a stated feature of the property).
- Kitchen cabinets do not have pulls. I guess it looks stylish, but imagine 7 days of every time you want a plate, glass, or fork having to curl your fingers around the edges of a drawer to open it? Aside from the minor annoyance of “pinched fingers” it’s also hugely inconvenient and at $1,900/night you expect a lot more.
- Pool is smaller than you’d think. More of a plunge pool than a swimming pool.
- No television. It can’t be secured, of course, due to the nature of the property. It’s not a stated feature of the property, but if you want to watch a movie or something as a family, you can't. I consider this table stakes at this price point and just assumed there would be one.

Sayulita is a nice place, we had a great time, and I would encourage people to visit. I think there are better properties to rent that would provide strong value.

A beach front dream!
Our group of 2 families with 4 adults and 4 teenagers stayed here 8 nights in November 2022. Lucia was great, helping us arrange airport transportation, renting golf carts and providing some general tips and info about navigating Sayulita. The house was clean upon arrival and the linens and bedding were all in great shape and very comfortable. Each room has a ductless AC unit that worked great to cool the spaces off in the evenings. Some of the furniture is a wee bit dated and worn, but it felt clean and comfortable for the most part. We were spoiled by daily housekeeping services (except Sunday) that we weren't anticipating, so it was a really nice treat! The home was well appointed and although we didn't do much cooking, we didn't have any issues finding supplies for the cooking we did do. It was great having 2 refrigerators in the kitchen as well as we did use most of the space in both fridges! We were there just one week after the hurricane and you'd never have known it. The grounds and beach were beautiful. Our teenage boys were a little weirded out by the "semi private" shower on the ground level, so they mostly showered up in our master bedroom on the 2nd floor. As an adult, I wouldn't have hesitated to shower in there so long as other folks weren't on the pool deck which looks into the shower area through the open brick. The ocean break in front isn't good for surfing, but the Dads and teens in the group had a great time body surfing in it for hours. Apparently, rip tides can form on this North part of the beach, but we didn't see or experience them. The pool is more like a plunge pool, but was super refreshing and great to cool off after sunbathing on the beach. Lawn chairs were plenty and in good shape. It was nice having a water spicket at the beach entrance to clean off feet or whatever else was sandy after being on the beach. Overall, we had a dreamy stay here and would not hesitate to stay here again if we return to Sayulita!

Amazing location and home
Staying at Casa Gallo is a treat! House is even better in person. The location right on the beach is perfect. You can hear the surf at night and the ambiance is very charming. If you choose to walk into town beachside is just 10 minutes or by golf cart a blast. Definitely choose this place if you want the perfect getaway to Sayulita! Definitely will be back!

Comfortable, spacious and great view!
I rented Casa Gallo for my husbands birthday. Us and 3 other couples were very comfortable in the home. The expansive decks have ceiling fans and are quite comfortable with ample seating. The rooms were comfortable at night with individual ac units. Each bathroom and the kitchen have large bottle water so bring your refillable water bottles. Beds were comfortable too. Each room had a safe and the home is easy to lock up when you leave.

Lucy the house manager is top notch. She greeted us upon arrival and checked on us two days in and was there for our checkout. She helped with so much of my birthday planning from hiring a caterer (Sabor Con Magia is the best!) and a large Mariachi band to surprise my husband and guests. She also arranged for our airport transfers.

We spent most our time on the large decks and at the pool or playing washers just outside the house in the sand. The surf just outside the house is a little rough (September) and loud. Some of us had a hard time sleeping at night but I cant complain sleeping to the sounds of the surf breaking along the shore.

The housekeepers came daily to freshen up and reset the beds and towels. Showers were hot and toilets worked! I highly recommend renting a golf cart. Its a bit of a walk into town via the beach and the road is hilly into town. It's nice to be outside the noise of town though. Ive stayed near the Sayulita plaza before and the nightlife is LOUD!

We loved everything about Casa Gallo. Really no complaints. Someone said something about slick floors and that is true. Saltillo tile everywhere, so step gingerly!

Upon booking the owners were in touch within 48 hours to get me squared away and introduce me to the house manager. Communication was easy and clear but ultimately Lucy took care of everything. She was easy to communicate with on WhatsApp.

Ultimately, we loved it here and were very sad to leave.

House was okay but service wasn’t excellent
The house was okay, not the best I’ve stayed in while in Sayulita. The view was nice, as was the beach access and the large covered outdoor space.
The floors are all extremely slippery when wet and they use cleaners on the floor that leave a film that make it extra slippery. The provided towels are all getting pretty worn out, some have holes, so if you stay here I’d recommend bringing your own towels. Many of the power outlets in the home are non functioning and others have low voltage to them and aren’t very useful. Most of the light bulbs have been replaced with LEDs but they’re a very bright white/blue color temperature which is very harsh. We tried to keep all the lights off as much as we could.
The housekeepers didn’t wash the towels and one day were 6 hours late without any notice.
The property manager offered a laundry service which I would not recommend. They took our clothes in the morning and said they would be back by 6pm. At 9pm I finally called the property manager and apparently the laundry people ran out of water and wouldn’t have our clothes back until the next day, which was unfortunate because it was all of our kids pajamas and our extra clothing and we would have planned differently if we knew it would be 24+ hours before we got them back.
The pool chemicals were very off at first and all the kids ended up with pretty bad rashes from the PH levels being off. This was fixed when the pool guy came and the property manager told him adjust the levels. The pool lining paint was also coming off and we were all picking blue paint flakes off of us and washing blue stains off the kids.
The roof leaked in a few places while it was raining as well.
Overall it’s a good place, but I think some maintenance needs to be caught up on and some preventive maintenance in the future before I would want to rent this particular home again.

Response from Owner/Manager on 08/23/2021

Hey Jonathan,
Thanks you for taking the time to give us some feedback! We are having the pool issues looked at as we speak as this is generally our \"down\" time for rentals during the rainy season and when we have an annual opportunity to do some maintenance. We do not offer public laundry service at the house so I cannot speak to that, but we will certainly do a towel and general amenities inventory to make some improvements.
Best,
AJ

Beautiful Beach Front Stay
Our group was lucky enough to have been able to secure both sides of Gallo Del Mar and Casita Del Mar for our large group holiday. Upon entering our clean, well cared for, tropical paradise for the week we were greeted with Lucy’s friendly welcoming manner and her delicious meal that we had previously arranged. The unobstructed views looking right out onto the warm waters of the Pacific could be found from nearly every room including most bathrooms! The beach front felt very private and the kids loved going between both the ocean and the pools, it was a bonus to be far enough away from town to not be inundated by the beach vendors. The town of Sayulita was quaint with the people being very friendly, delicious street food and a good smattering of adventure type tours available to book. Our group spent the majority of the time basking in pools, sunbathing under the palm trees facing the ocean and just hanging out relaxing on the open veranda. As for amenities, the kitchen had everything we needed and the 2 fridges in the Galle Del Mar kitchen came in very handy and the air conditioning in the bedrooms during the evening were a welcome reprieve from the hot days. Wifi worked everywhere and was only a bit spotty in the large downstairs bedroom but it was hardly an issue as we would rather soak in the views than stare at a screen. We booked the golf carts, tequila tasting and massages as recommended and we were not disappointed! Our group had such a lovely time during our stay that we were already made plans to return before we even left. Well done Thompson family and the attentive Gallo & Casista staff!

Great Family Vacation
We were looking for a new vacation spot that could house our whole family. Casa Gallo is magnificent! The 4 bedrooms were huge - The upstairs bathroom (for 2 bedrooms - Jack & Jill-ish) was also very big. Each floor has a bathroom, so that was very convenient when we were down at the pool and beach. So many conversation areas to sit and read or just stare out at the beach and ocean. The staff was AWESOME!!!! Everything we needed and asked for was provided.

Sayulita itself was a joy to explore. We had very many meals out and were never disappointed.

Can't wait to return . . . to Paradise . . .
