Description

CASA LAZULI Vacation rental Nayarit Mexico
 
Casa Lazuli is our oceanfront villa with exclusive views to 12 miles long unspoiled beach Playa Las Tortugas. The villa is located in a privileged and exquisite natural setting, at vacation community Punta el Custodio, Nayarit, Mexico. FRom the house it’s only a 3 minutes walk to the river mouth of an estuary, which can be crossed at low tide, giving access to Playa Tortugas.
 
Enjoy long walks along this endless, secluded beach, that you will have almost for yourself. There is a sea turtle hatchery, where you can get up close to Ridley Sea Turtles. They migrate to Playa Las Tortugas to hatch their young. You can learn all about these wonderful sea turtles at the hatchery, you can even get involved and volunteer during your vacation!
 
Traditional Mexican Style. Modern Comforts.
Beautifully decorated and furnished in traditional Mexican style, this is an ideal vacation home for family and friend group holidays. The accommodation sleeps 8 comfortably, or 10 guests if you are staying with two children under 12 years old. The rustic furniture, high beamed ceilings and bold colors stay true to the region’s design.
 
Local artisanal materials, such as Talavera tiles, Mexican artwork, and ceramic flooring, are combined with modern domotics. Rural in style it may be, but Casa Lazuli has been finished to the highest quality for your comfort and enjoyment. Central air conditioning and ceiling fans keep the main house cool during the heat of summer.
 
Gorgeous bedrooms with view
There are two bedrooms within the main house and two bedrooms in an independent casita behind the main house. The master bedroom is located on the upper floor of the villa and affords spectacular views of the Pacific and Playa Tortugas. Furnished with a beautiful king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and set of drawers, it features a traditional high wooden rafter ceiling with ceiling fan. The en suite master bathroom is installed with washbasin, toilet, and a private balcony shower, which is walled in, but not covered.
 
If you have dreamt of taking a shower in perfectly natural surroundings, with the sounds of the ocean and jungle around you, this will be heaven! The second en suite bedroom is located on the ground floor with patio doors that afford dazzling views to the Pacific. The bedroom is furnished with two queen-size beds, wardrobe and various chairs and tables. This bedroom is ideal for families with children. Or grandparents and children, if you’re daydreaming of a lie-in during your vacation!

Let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep. We promise you’ll sleep like a baby with our super comfortable mattresses and quality linens. It features an en suite bathroom. The two bedroomed casita features one bedroom with two queen-size beds and a second bedroom with one queen bed. Both have en suite bathrooms installed with a walk-in shower, washbasin and WC. Step out to the terrace where the surf breaks in front of your eyes. Magical!
Living and Dining
Like all of Casa Lazuli the living area is spacious with traditional double height wood beamed ceilings and central ceiling fan. The walls are adorned with Mexican art; and comfortable sofas and armchairs provide ample seating for your group. But who wants to spend too much time indoors? There are patio doors on two sides of the lounge which lead out to the beautiful covered terrace with dining table and chairs.
 
The fully equipped kitchen also opens out to the terrace, and although you might not need to spend too much time cooking at Casa Lazuli with our meal-plan option, the central island breakfast bar is a beautiful spot to enjoy a freshly squeezed juice in the morning. The kitchen is well equipped with a large oven, stove, grill, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster, plus plenty of pots, pans and utensils.
 
Terraces and Pool
Various terraces wrap the villa, bordered by lush tropical foliage. You can enjoy views to the ocean and beach from pretty much every corner. Watch the fisherman casting nets from their pangas (small boats) and diving for oysters. There is access to the terraces from most rooms: living area, bedrooms and kitchen. A gorgeous infinity pool has been built into the side of the terrace.
 
Swim up to the side and look out to the sparkling blue ocean and beyond. After a dip in the pool there are plush sun loungers on which you can dry off under the Mexican sun. Or find a shady spot and lie back and enjoy an afternoon siesta. There are two covered terraces, one that leads from the lounge and a second palapa covered terrace with mobile bar, where you can watch the sunset over the Pacific.
 
Handcrafted hospitality
Casa Lazuli comes with a friendly staff who are on hand to meet your every need during the stay. Your housekeeper Rocio will come from Monday through Saturday to clean and organize the villa, if you take our meal plan she will cook and be present on Sundays too. There is 24-hour security at the entrance to the community, a driver, gardeners and maintenance men.
 
*The maximum number of guests for Casa Lazuli is 8, we allow 2 persons more if at least 2 of the 10 are younger than 12 years.

Policies

This reservation policy is applicable for all bookings.
By requesting an online quotation, or by completing an online reservation/booking, or by placing your booking over the telephone, or by signing and posting/faxing a booking form, you accept these Terms and Conditions as a binding contract between Punta el Custodio Villa Rentals (abbreviated PECVR) on behalf of yourself and any other members of your party. PECVR cannot accept your booking without a signed booking form, or a completed online reservation, or an email request to reserve your villa or your verbal confirmation to proceed given over the telephone. A written/emailed confirmation sent to you by PECVR means PECVR has accepted your booking.
 
EMAIL ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE
It is vital that we have a valid email address. If you change this you should inform us immediately. We correspond by email. Once your booking has been made and we have received your deposit, all further correspondence is by email. We will also email you all of the information that you’ll require to get to the villa.
 
PAYMENT, RESERVATION AND DEPOSIT
After your booking request and confirmation that your requested dates for villa rental are available, we ask for a 50% deposit of the rental price. Once this deposit has been paid it secures your dates. We cannot guarantee any reservation until your deposit has been received. The remaining balance of the rental price, plus a $400 USD fully refundable security/damages deposit is due two calendar months before the rental start date. Bookings made less than two calendar months before the rental starts must be paid in full upon booking. You will be emailed a reminder for the balance and the date it is due to ensure payment is made in time. Payments are made by sending a cheque to the owner (not for Casa Sonrisa), at no extra cost, by depositing through Paypal to the owner (we require an extra payment fee of 4% when paid through Paypal).
 
SECURITY DEPOSIT
The security deposit of $400 USD for any villa, has to be paid 2 months before arrival and we require you (the client) to inform us of any serious damage or breakages caused during your stay, and a list of all breakages, stains, or damages in writing upon leaving. Where time permits we like to do a quick initial check of the property when you depart. We understand that sometimes this is not possible due to various time constraints; such as leaving for your flight time or our representative not being available. A full and detailed check will take place after your departure and before the next guest’s arrival. You will be advised of any faults or damages found after this detailed check (pictures will be taken if possible) and we will advise you as soon as possible about the cost of repair or replacement. Suitable time must be allowed for us to do this.
 
Anything damaged, spoilt or broken will be charged at the replacement cost. Any items having to be purchased will be replaced with ‘like for like’, of the same quality and standard. No ‘markup’ will ever be added.
 
The security deposit will be refunded after the property is fully cleaned and checked as detailed above, but within 7 days after departure. In the event the property internally/externally or its belongings, fixtures or fittings are damaged/broken in any way then charges will be deducted from the security deposit and any refund that may be due to the client will be undertaken after repair or replacement being made for the appropriate items. Should the security deposit not cover all the damage, repair or replacement caused, then we will request extra funds to make up the difference. You agree to cover such additional damage or replacement costs within 7 days of the notification of the extra costs.
 
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
For dates that do not fall in the 2 weeks with Christmas/New Years rates, the following cancellation policy applies: if you cancel your booking 60 days or more before your arrival date then we will refund the sums you have paid, less a $100 USD cancellation fee. If your notice of cancellation is received less than 60 days prior to your check-in date, you will forfeit all sums paid, except the damage deposit, unless we are able to re-rent the property to another guest at the same rate and during the same time period. If the property is rented we will only charge the $100 USD cancellation fee.
 
For dates that fall in the 2 Christmas/New Year weeks the following cancellation policy applies: If you cancel your reservation more than 120 days before arrival, 100% of your deposit will be refunded. If you cancel between 60 and 120 days before arrival, 50% of your deposit will be refunded. If canceled less than 60 days before arrival, you will be liable for 100% of the rental costs. Payment fees won’t be refunded.
 
No exceptions to this policy can be made for any reason, therefore holiday insurance with a cancellation policy to cover any such rare occurrence is strongly recommended.
 
CHANGES TO BOOKING AND PROPERTY AVAILABILITY
PECVR reserves the right to amend the booking dates. This may be due to several reasons, not limited to but including, war, adverse weather conditions, riots and or matters concerning participants safety, operational circumstances such as damage caused by fire, or the villa becoming unusable due to utility company work or lack of services, leaks, repair work or any other such reason. In these circumstances, the booking may need to be adjusted accordingly. PECVR is not liable for any additional costs or losses that may be incurred by the client due to the change of booking. This includes, but is not limited to, any extra hotel reservations or car rentals, or the cost of non-refundable airline tickets. Situations may arise which, in our opinion, make it necessary for us to alter the normal booking schedule. If you cannot accept the dates of any new booking that PECVR proposes then PECVR will refund monies you have paid for to us in full. We advise that your travel insurance covers holiday curtailment.
 
In the event, before your arrival or during your period of rental, your villa choice becomes unavailable or unusable for any reason we reserve the right to offer you an alternative property of the same level of quality and in a similar area, or to refund all monies paid to date and cancel the booking. We reserve this right in the case of availability clashes, unexpected, unforeseen or uncontrollable situations. Should PECVR successfully be able to offer you a similar property and location, a pro-rated refund for the difference will be refunded if the property offered is a lower rental cost for the same period. If PECVR is not able to find a similar property then a full refund of monies paid will be returned, or in the case that some time has been used already at the property before it becomes unavailable then a pro-rata refund will be given. This constitutes the maximum liability of PECVR. PECVR is not responsible for any other expense or costs incurred including rearranging or canceling flights or car hire. We strongly recommend holiday insurance cover.

SOUL FREEING    Oct 31,2022

  •         

Just returned from Costa Custodio and Casa Lazuli. We had wanted to stay at this particular villa because of its unique location facing the open ocean and the estuary (which we did cross at low tide…very tricky and not for the faint of heart or body)! And indeed, the view is spectacular! The villa itself is open and airy, very comfortable and has several areas for relaxation and view appreciation. As others have mentioned, Punta el Custodio is off the beaten path and quite remote, so if you need more “action” other than arranged outings or tours, this is not your place. But if you need to get away and set your soul free, Lazuli fits the bill. A few notes…if you are addicted to your wifi device, you might need to go elsewhere. Internet service was spotty for us. Also, there were bats in the upstairs bedroom, but they roosted in the thatch roof the first night then they simply were gone after that. Overall I rate this property a five, if for nothing else, for the view alone.

AMAZING    Oct 31,2022

  •         

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Casa Lazuli is. First I need to praise Lorena and Raquel. The food was beyond 5 stars. They were always so pleasant and so willing to work with any requests we made. The entire staff was eager to please and very quick to respond to any needs or issues we might have. Ismael was so very helpful and always available to answer questions and help make arrangements and make sure things were in perfect working order. The grounds are absolutely stunning with so many beautiful flowers, plants and trees. We have definitely put it on our list to return asap!

FANTASTIC PROPERTY, BEAUTIFUL LOCATION    Oct 31,2022

  •         

A beautiful and secluded location with good access to miles of uncrowded beaches. The home sits on a low bluff, just a few meters from the ocean with excellent southern exposure for unrestricted sun and ocean views. The home was well designed to accommodate our family of 7 with spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. The property and villa staff were gracious and accommodated our every need. The food was excellent and abundant as was the onsite and offsite management and service.

AMAZING PLACE TO GET AWAY    Oct 31,2022

  •         

Perfect place for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. Food prepared by Rocio was absolutely amazing, every meal unique. Wonderful place to completely disconnect and relax (no tv, phone, or internet)

EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE WITH EXCELLENT STAFF    Oct 31,2022

  •         

We had 8 adults and two young children, the house was perfect. Everyone was very comfortable. I can’t say enough about how great everyone was to work with. From my initial booking on VRBO to the transportation (arranged through Ismael) back to the airport. The food was amazing! I would definitely book again.

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS    Oct 31,2022

  •         

Pictures do not show the beauty of this home nor the perfect location. We arrived in the evening with dinner waiting for us) Completely in awe of the size of the home, we toured saying the word “wow” every 30 seconds. The view left us breathless, I could not wait to sleep and wake up to the view.. it felt like Christmas Eve when I was 5 years old! Michel was our primary connection and he was quick to respond to my many questions leading up to our visit. A special thank you to your assistance in recommending the casa, as well as introducing me to Ismael (the site manager) Ismael is incredible! He lined up two surf instructors to arrive the next morning and daily massage for us by Erika Rocio was our beautiful chef and housekeeper. She was friendly and very attentive to what we needed without asking. Her cooking is really good and pressed fresh orange juice each morning. One thing I missed during my planning was to BRING CASH! I Somehow missed that note in our correspondence, and only brought a minimal amount. I’m grateful that Ismael trusts us enough to wait till the last day to go to the bank machine. As the nearest one is 45 minutes away. I’ll be smarter next time! We are planning to return very soon! Hoping for annually!
