Thank you for considering our home for your vacation. We assume you are considering others, which in a sense represent our competition. We invite you to take into consideration:
A Brief History of our experience of San Pancho-
In 2000 San Francisco was a precious little fishing village with about 4000 Mexican citizens, most of whom had lived here for generations in relatively modest homes “in town.” It also had approximately 250 expats. All homes were built in “the old style,” which required lots of laborers and masons and stone workers, carpenters and iron workers, artists and painters.
In 2006 when we (Melissa and Bill) arrived, San Pancho still had about 4000 Mexicans and 250 expats. It also had one hotel, five restaurants, no internet, few houses for sale, and lots of parking spaces. In less than a week, we fell in love with the village. So, we bought land and began to design and build a home for our family – in “the old style.” It took three years.
Sometime in 2007 the area north of Puerto Vallarta was declared an Economic Development Zone and re-named the Riviera Nayarit. (The first EDZ was the Maya Riviera, extending south from Cancun). Economic Development Zones are advertised as a place for developers to come and invest. Eventually developers did come, bought property, and began to build, but in “a new style.”
The difference between the old style and the new was dramatized to me (William) one day. When “our men” were adding finishing touches to our home, we drove into town and for the first time, we saw a cement truck and a pumper blocking the road. They were pouring concrete for a house or hotel, a condo or apartment complex that would soon be completed and ready in a matter of months to bring the ROI (return on investment), that made San Pancho attractive to investors. Before long, our precious little fishing village became a bustling beach town. What does this history lesson mean for you as you consider where to rent?
Well, if you mostly want to go to the beach during the day and relish the nightlife in the evening– and do so for a super cheap price, and experience a cramped, pressured, loud version of San Pancho – it makes little sense to consider renting our home.
On the other hand, if you wonder what it might be like to stay in a gracious, expansive Mexican villa that was built in “the old style,” check us out. The Villa de Vistas is a home, built with love and care, with art, tile, and crafts sourced from all over Mexico.
San Pancho might be divided into three areas. - The bustling “downtown.” - The more sedate residential area of Costa Azul - The Jungle Road
The Villa de Vista is located at the beginning of the Jungle Road. We delight in sharing this remarkable home. Many guests report that they can feel the love that went into it – from our workers, our craftsmen, and our family – and also from our staff that has kept our home looking like new. It has been a labor of love.
We hope you will rent from us. And CELEBRATE LIFE.

A Wonderful Wedding Venue
Our family gathered from all around the world for our wedding. 5 children, 4 partners, 3 grandchildren. It was a fabulous occasion in this beautiful, welcoming home. Many happy hours in the pool, a few trips down the path to the wild surf, and occasionally all the way to town for yoga, coffee, shopping, some meals. A perfect week, enjoyed by all. Our chef commented how nice it was to cook in a kitchen that is actually part of a home, not just set up to be a rental. Thank you Melissa and Bill.

Just left today and dreaming of our return! The house was incredibly spacious and clean. Everything worked great for our group of 7 couples and 5 babies. The pool was super warm and couldn't be beat, and the house wasn't too tough to baby proof with a little imagination and a lot of supervision. The beach is just a short walk down a beautifully manicured path. Marie the concierge helped us set up private chefs and takeaway to keep things simple, as well as airport transport that was safe and reliable.

Amazing house in a great beach town
We stayed at Villa de Vistas for our family reunion in June of 2024. There were 13 of us and every single person was so impressed with the house. We liked the separate casitas, which gave us a little space, as well as the common areas, where we all gathered on the couches or table. The large kitchen and TV area was great, and you could shut the door and utilize the air conditioning in that wing of the house. I haven't even mentioned San Pancho yet - a 5 minute walk to the beach! I could go on and on - it's an amazing house. Highly recommended!

San Pancho Melissa Roberts
We stayed at the Robert’s San Pancho home with friends and two younger children. The home was spacious, well kept and had stunning ocean and sunset views. Marie-Eve, the concierge was delightful to work with and quite helpful. We arranged a chef for several nights and took advantage of the team the Robert’s have put together in San Pancho. Cleaning folks came every other day and were thorough and quite pleasant. I recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the San Pancho area.

The house is even better than the pictures. The most jaw-dropping, unique house I think any of us will ever stay in (we told the children they've peaked :))
We were worried about the weather - it was rainy season and the forecast was for all rain and thunderstorms but the weather was gorgeous.
There were some little hiccups with our stay which were not really problems at all - and Iris always resolved them very quickly.

Lots of positives, a few negatives
An extended family of 8 adults and 4 preteens/teens, we spent 12 days at Villa de Vistas in July. While we experienced some issues that were more than "glitches", overall we enjoyed our time in this exceptional property. There were plenty of common areas where everyone could get together, yet each family had their own private space. The artwork and attention to detail are very impressive, everything was well-stocked and clean and the Internet service was terrific. It was quite hot and humid and there were a lot of mosquitos (day and night), but we walked to San Pancho almost every day, sometimes electing to take a cab back to the house. You could always rent a car or a golf cart. It is a very short walk to the clean, uncrowded beach. Unfortunately, during our stay we experiened some things that were a bit more than "glitches". Most of the problems stemmed from the fact that we were there in the summer when daily thunderstorms are the norm and loss of power is common. According to the locals the outages generally last just a few hours, but we had several that lasted quite a long time - almost a full 24 hours in one case and almost that long in another. When the power goes out there is, of course, no refrigeration, AC or fans, but there is also no running water as the pump from the cistern cannot operate. There is, however, plenty of bottled drinking water. Daniel, the gardener and overall problem solver, and Neomy and Josefina, the housekeepers, were very helpful in trying to minimize the impact of our not having electricity or running water, but some help from the house manager would have been appreciated. We had to contact her to ask if there were flashlights (the phone batteries didn't last long) and to get ice for the refrigerators and buckets to carry water from the pool to flush the toilelts. I understand that Bill and Melissa are looking into the possibility of getting a generator and that would be quite nice to have in situations such as we experienced. I want to stress that Bill and Melissa are wonderful owners and did all they could to help, keeping in close contact with us from their home in the States and offerring ways we could get showers and charge our devices. They also kindly offerred us a generous refund. While it was not the vacation we had envisioned, overall we had a good time staying in a special home with spectacular views that is close to both the town and the beach. I would love to return one day, just not in the summer.

Remote San Pancho and Beautiful Villa de Vistas.
The property was an excellent choice for our family of 14, ranging from 7 years to 75 years old. The walk to the beach was easy and the pool on property perfect size and sparkling clean. The Chef we hired was amazing and knew his way around the villa kitchen making everyone comfortable. The Wifii worked well as did the one tv in great room for night time sports. I would recommend it to families as everyone had room to spread out and have their own space. The art work in the house was so unique and beautiful. Villa de Vistas was described well by the owners and we would return in the future if possible.

Our stay in San Pancho
Our stay at Villa de Vistas in San Pancho was wonderful. The accommodations were perfect for a large family gathering. The spaciousness, quality of the villa and the magnificent art work throughout were 5 star. The grandchildren spent endless hours in the pool. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets at nigh from the upper deck, as well as the proximity to the beach (although the waves and undertow were too strong for the smaller children). We also enjoyed the unspoiled town of San Pancho - great restaurants and small crowds. We gained greater appreciation after venturing down to an overcrowded and crazy Sayulita. The only suggestion we have is to put bars on the windows in the upstairs living area (adjacent to the kitchen). While there is a warning to keep the windows closed if there are small children, the height of those window made us nervous,

Perfect Spot
We stayed at this property 5 years ago and had such a fantastic experience, we were thrilled when it was available again this year. The three homes on the property are very well maintained, and tastefully decorated/designed with a great deal of thought and consideration of the location and Mexican cultural tradition. The views from the Casa de Canta are spectacular and we loved being able to walk to the beach or town without having to get into a car. The owners were responsive and wonderful to work with, in addition to the staff who do an amazing job.

Excelente la casa de vistas, están hermosas las 3 casas son especiales, Daniel super atento es el chico que limpia la alberca y jacuzzi y áreas verdes, están súper equipadas. Solo tengo dos detalles que espero los Corrigan en la casa celestial una de las habitaciones no tiene sus cortinas en las ventanas chicas y se requieren por privacidad y algo que a mí familia en lo personal no nos gustó fue las máscaras que están colocadas en la zona de la cocina y sala de estar ...considero que no deben de estar por el nombre de la casa y además porque vas a relajarte y haber cosas lindas.
Pero todo lo demás super los felicito a las s dueños, super inversión,supera casa ...Dios los bendiga.
