Casa Maria is one of the newest additions to the villas at Playa Las Tortugas, and one of the most beautiful, characterized by unusual and luxurious finish materials, artwork, and furnishings.

Spectacular Pacific Sunsets

 
Come visit Casa Maria to experience the incomparable variety of color combinations at sunset, sometimes best enjoyed as you stroll down the soft, warm sand beach.

“I’ve been in search of the perfect beach since I first saw the ocean decades ago. Now I’ve found it.” The Washington Post

The Interior

 
We invite you to pass through our entry to a colorful home where you’ll find two spacious and restful bedroom suites. Each bedroom has more than ample closet space, a comfortable padded-top king-sized mattress and it’s own full bath.

Custom-decorated Bedrooms

 
Our custom-decorated bedrooms accommodate up to four adults, while two more guests are welcome in the living area which has an adjacent half-bath. Seen here is the north guest bedroom suite complete with its full bath, and following just below is a view of the master bedroom suite.

 
The master bedroom suite is spacious, sunny, and has plenty of closet area. It comes accompanied by an elegant bathroom with a full-sized tub set in a marble surround, separated from the large shower with glass-block wall, and graced by an onyx sink and light fixtures as shown in the next photographs.

Luxurious Bathrooms with Onyx Fixtures

 
You’ll enjoy the masterfully crafted bathrooms that employ different types of stone, tile, and quality fixtures.
 
Discover decorative niches and art pieces from around Mexico, and used throughout the house is a local wood called Rosa Morada, stained to a deep, eye-catching burgundy.

A Great Kitchen for Yourself or Your Cook

 
You’ll love the granite countertops from South America, the custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances of our classy kitchen which is conveniently placed adjacent to the dining and living areas to create a friendly socializing atmosphere.
 
 

Dining and Living Areas Open to a Covered Terrace

 
Also on the main floor is the dining room, with it’s exotic coconut shell dining table, and adjacent covered terrace with gas BBQ grill. The living room is furnished with unique pieces from Mexico and around the world, including a mesquite cabinet from artisans in Guadalajara which houses the TV, DVD player, and stereo. Of course we have satellite TV!

Enjoy Swimming and Sunning

At Casa Maria you’ll have the opportunity of sunning and playing in the waves, enjoying a swim in the fresh water pool, or just sitting and relaxing at the pool with a cool drink under the palm-roofed palapa.

You Won’t Want to Leave

The living room has a lovely view through the lush common area gardens and coconut grove to the ocean. Completing the living spaces on the second floor are a work-area containing a desk, and a spacious half-bath with stone accents and maple cabinets.

Continuing up the staircase you arrive at the third floor sunning terrace, with it’s panoramic views of the common area gardens, the ocean, and the mangroves of the estuary. This is the place for your evening margarita while watching the sunset, for perfecting your tan, or for taking your afternoon siesta.
 

In the early mornings you can hear the sounds of tropical birds such as the “chachalaca” inhabiting trees at the edge of the adjacent estuary. In late afternoons you can see flocks of many different species of birds, some quite rare, going to the estuary to feed; and, at night you can sleep to the sound of the waves.

 
Whatever your activities, Casa Maria is a beauty in which you can enjoy them.

Before considering to purchase property at Playa Las Tortugas, maybe a better question is “Why invest in Mexico?”. Well, there are a number of reasons such as:

Climate
Cost of living
Safety & security
Real estate values
International influences
Economic and political stability
People, culture, language and cuisine
Proximity to the U.S. & Canada both driving and by air
Convenient airline service, and good international & national roads

Why Playa Las Tortugas?

What are some of the reasons for purchasing in Playa Las Tortugas?

“I like living in a quiet area amidst great natural beauty; a place more in balance with its surroundings.”

“I like being away from crowds and traffic of the resort beaches, in a cleaner environment.”

“Getting away from cold winter weather is important to us, and we want to see sunny skies every day.”

“We are looking for a place that our children and families will enjoy visiting.”

“We want to feel good about the place we live in, and that we’re good neighbors to those around us.”

“I want to invest where the “buy-in” price is good & there is the probability of a strong rate of appreciation.”

“I want the possibility of rental income and worry-free property management.”

Who are our owners?

At Playa Las Tortugas our owners are professionals such as doctors, attorneys and business people, business owners or self-employed, entrepreneurs, retired or semi-retired persons, and investors. Many are 2nd home buyers or those looking towards retirement or a change in life. Ages span from 30’s to 60’s, with the median around 50 years and many have families whose children and grandchildren enjoy visiting.

During November 2007 nearby markets were surveyed to see how property prices compare with Playa Las Tortugas. We checked prices in areas between Playa Las Tortugas and Puerto Vallarta. The nearest comparable beachfront development is “Marina Chacala”, about 12 miles (18 kilometers) south of Playa Las Tortugas, and the farthest one “Litibu” is about 48 miles (77 kilometers). “Litibu” is located on Punta de Mita north of Puerto Vallarta and south of Sayulita. Note that “Litibu” is adjacent to Sayulita, just below it to the left but not shown on the map. We tried to use examples of properties that were most representative of the average costs in each area, and properties similar to Playa Las Tortugas, to give the most accurate comparison possible. In reality there were no properties that had all of the distinguishing characteristics of Playa Las Tortugas, including the coconut palm groves, direct access to surfing, 8 kilometers of pure sand beach, a sea turtle conservation program, and hundreds of acres of of mangrove estuary for canoeing, kayaking, and bird-watching.

Below you can view, download, or print a copy of the results of our pricing survey. The figures for “Marina Chacala” came from their website Marina Chacala Dream Homes which says it was updated 11/10/07. Other prices came from websites of real estate agencies in Sayulita, San Pancho, and other locations in the greater PV area.

Beach or ocean front prices in the areas checked were a minimum of 35% higher than PLT, and in most cases were 50% to more than 150% higher. The lots which are only 35% higher are actually ocean front (not beach front) above the water on a bluff, so you can’t just walk out your door directly on to the beach like you can at Playa Las Tortugas. Lots which are comparable to PLT beach front lots are at least 50% more costly, and in many instances above 100% more than at Playa Las Tortugas.

Please note that the “Garden” and “Ocean & Mountain” view properties in the other areas are not as close to the beach as Playa Las Tortugas properties. Many of the “Garden” and “Ocean & Mountain” view properties call for a “five minute” or “ten minute” walk but actually require a trek up fairly steep hillsides. While those properties may be only 30% higher-priced than ours in some examples, the distances to the beach are greater by two or three times or more. In fact many of the other properties are much farther than that from the beach, which means that our values are even better.

“I have the privilege of experiencing a working sea-turtle camp firsthand because I am staying at Playa Las Tortugas, a charming, ecologically minded property on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of pristine beach. Next to a tidal estuary lined with mangroves—where I spend a glorious afternoon in a canoe, spotting roseate spoonbills and great blue herons,among other bird species—this property demonstrates the value of conscientious development.” Alaska Airlines Magazine
