I really like this little property because of the proximity to the town and beach. The small tub/pool/shower in the front was great for cooling down. Communication is great. Little kitchen has enough to handle some basic food needs.

Great location in Sayulita
Great location. Close to everything. We rented a golf cart but didn’t need it. One block from the beach. Easy check in. Great communication. A lovely lady came to clean everyday. Great to have the kitchen area. A/C only in bedroom as advertised but not an issue and it worked well. We were very comfortable. Perfect for a couple’s get away.

Villas del Rio was everything we hoped for and more. It was very clean and comfortable and had the authentic Sayulita vibe. The location was convenient to everything and so close to the beach!! The owners and property manager were very accommodating throughout the booking process and throughout our stay. Overall, it was awesome. We will book this property again!

Comfortable for Two
Villa was in a very good location, close to everything. Loved the patio and dipping pool. Property is well managed and was responsive to our needs. It took a couple of days to figure out the housekeeping routine, especially because the housekeeper didn't speak English and we didn't speak Spanish. But we figured it out, got our needs met, and both Vicky & Pancho were very gracious. Only recommendation would be that the downstairs unit doesn't have anyplace to hang wet beach towels. Upstairs has the stair railing that doubles as a clothes hanger. Recommend a folding clothes dryer for wet towels, bathing suits. Also the BBQ grill advertised was reportedly broken and unusable.

Home in the perfect location
It was great! We wanted for nothing (other than tv LOL) there were lots of festivities around us and lots of music (noise) as people have said, however always shut down by midnightish and really a not big deal at all. (we are in our fifties so old enough) Very quiet through the night. We felt safe here. Privacy was not an issue. Clean, comfy bed with air conditioner. We loved the location for everything. You can easily walk anywhere you need to be. No complaints.

Fantastic location!
Just returned from a 1 week vacation and was our 1st time visiting this surfing town. The location of the apartment is great - you are a block from the beach and in the midst of restaurants, cafes and market stores. Overall pros would include: - location and everything you need is in walking distance including small grocery store - apartment has all amenities including dishes, salt & pepper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer and even some coffee though not sure if this was left from prior guests. We were presently surprised to learn that there is daily housekeeping who provides fresh towels - large purified water jug that is filled as required (before running out) - outdoor shower to rinse off after day at the beach - enjoyed happy hour(s) at the beach watching surfers A few cons would include: - Wifi is very intermittent - no microwave that would of been handy to warm up leftovers - the pool is small- more of a plunge pool and quite cold as does not get sun so we never used it - the main beach is very busy & ocean waves are intense so swimming in the ocean was intense and took a few spills. There is also smaller, quieter beach to the left of the main beach but still has large waves which one should expect when visiting a surfing town!

Perfect!
I go to San Pancho or Sayulita 1 - 2 times a year at least. This trip was solo for me for the first time, and the house was absolutely perfect. For a couple or 1 person or even with a couple kids, the two couches easily make twin beds in the living room. it is perfect! Or for more people, rent both the upstairs and downstairs units and have a secluded, very safe gated home for all. It was clean, internet worked great and the dipping pool/patio is wonderful. The master has A/C, which you don’t always find, so great nights sleep! Just like the pictures - no photoshopping here. The property manager, Jewel is wonderful and very helpful. Vicky, the housekeeper, just as wonderful and attentive daily. If you want an affordable option, right in Sayulita and a 3 min walk to the beach. Rent this! I will certainly be back! So glad I found it. Thank you Ruben (owner), Jewel and Vicky!!! (A plus, I met two awesome ladies/new friends staying in the upstairs unit.). Don’t hesitate. - Shellley (Chicago)

Close to the beach. Clean and Tidy.
A very clean little property with daily maid service and daily garden and pool service. The dipping pool was what made it for us. Perfect to cool off in. The property manager is a Jewel.......available and in town and responsiveness to messages. I would advise the owner to get a closure (its missing) for the freezer in the fridge as we had to use a piece of Cardboard to hold in the cold to make Ice and keep food from thawing. Thanks for a great stay. John and Kim

Excellent apartment in prime location
We stayed here for five nights. From the time we reserved it on VRBO, the owners were communicative, and provided thorough directions/information not only about the property but about the area. Their recommendations were on point. The property manager was wonderful and very quick to respond. For being a couple minute's walk away from the heart of Sayulita, it was very quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a few meals inside, and we used the patio each morning for breakfast/coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

Oasis in paradise.
Villas del Rio Abajo is a lovely little oasis, only half a block away from the bustle and amenities of Sayulita and one and a half blocks from the beach...a great location! It is colourful, comfortable, and homey. We especially enjoyed our afternoon "cool downs" in the pool. There are an upper and a lower unit (which we occupied) yet one's privacy is well maintained. (The accommodation will soon be entirely repainted as well.)

Good location with all you need
The location of this property is excellent and surprisingly quiet given the close proximity to town. It is comfortable and has all you need, could maybe do with a fresh coat of paint and there is a damp small, this maybe due to the hemmed in nature of the property. These are not dial breakers but after a week, there things you notice. All in all a pleasant stay.
