Additional notesDISCLAIMERS - We think it is important to communicate upfront the realities of coming to stay in a tropical part of Mexico. The below listed items could happen during your stay, although are usually very rare. Some are specific to Casa Aurora while others are more general for this part of Mexico.

Guest interactionWe maintain good communication with guests but give them their space. With self-check-in and our welcome guides, most questions should be answered. Our property manager, Tony, lives close by and will be available for anything guests may need.
Neighborhood overviewOur house is located in the south end of town which has a mix of local Mexican houses along with non Mexican. There are roosters, dogs, children, etc. etc. as most Mexican neighbourhoods have. Living here gives us the local flavour which is why we like to travel. It is about an eight minute walk to town and a six minute walk to Muertos Beach. Our town has many great restaurants, loads of shops and cafes, two main beaches, a popular surf break and all the buildings are low rise, three levels max. It is a funky, happy little oceanfront town with very friendly residents.
Getting aroundEverywhere in Sayulita is in easy walking distance from our house. There is on street parking if you have a car and we can hook you up to an electrical outlet if you rent a golf cart, but neither of these are really necessary. There are always taxis available at the plaza for exploring some of the near by towns.
