About this property

Casa Melissa- San Pancho- Stunning Views, Heated Infinity Pool, Private Tennis

Casa Melissa, located 1 mile from downtown San Pancho, is a unique private estate featuring breathtaking 180 degree views of the Pacific. Located on a point overlooking the Pacific, the views from Casa Melissa are uninterrupted and spectacular. Yet after a short walk on the dirt road, you can easily walk to San Pancho on the mile long, wide sandy beach.

You can view the coastline from Punta Sayulita in the south to the outline of San Blas to the north. If you move your gaze to the east, you can view the beautiful tropical palm jungle.

Casa Melissa is tropical Mexico as you dreamed it would be. During the day watch whales, dolphins and rays pass below as you enjoy a drink on the terrace or relax in the pool. In the evening the sunsets are breathtaking!

Amenities of the villa include 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a private lighted tennis court and a heated 'Infinity' swimming pool.
All rooms in Casa Melissa have ocean views and fans.
NEW - ALL ROOMS NOW HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.
Doors and windows have screens so you can get the tropical air without any tropical bugs!
There is also a whole house water purification system so water from the tap is safe. Additionally we have a bottled purified water dispenser with instant hot and cold water.

The Casita, a 5th bedroom suite, features a queen bed, ceiling fan, air conditioner, full bathroom and a kitchenette. Its large ocean view terrace and overlooks the tennis court.

Our property accommodates up to 10 guests. The base price is for 6 guests, with an additional charge of $20 per night for each extra guest. Please let us know the total number of guests at the time of booking to avoid any misunderstandings.

Casa Melissa is for those who want to get away from it all, and to relax surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mexican Riviera.

Maid service is included Monday through Saturday.
The staff will even grocery shop for you before you arrive - you just pay for the groceries!
We want to make your stay at Casa Melissa a true vacation.

Whales migrate along the coast between December and March, with maybe a few early ones in Nov or late ones in April. See them from the terrace or get close-up on a boat in the Bay of Banderas.
Nature lovers can enjoy tropical birds flying by at eye level or go on a bird watching tour. See iguanas, geckos, tejones or tour the turtle nursery and help release baby turtles into the ocean. Ocean kayaking, snorkeling and hiking in the palm jungle or walking on the mile long sandy beach are a few of the best ways to enjoy this tropical paradise.

The small town of San Pancho is unique. It has an active polo community and a polo field, a yoga center, a nine hole golf course (currently closed) and fabulous restaurants. There are many shops and a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance of Casa Melissa.

Events during the year include a national surfing contest, annual music festival, and Art Festival in December. Or rent a car and explore the whole area.

Besides fabulous views, Casa Melissa has its own private lighted tennis court. The tennis court is a special Australian product that is used in the tropics, a synthetic grass surface topped with sand. It plays like clay but is ready for play 15 minutes after a rain shower (very important in the summer). The other great thing about the tennis court is that it slows the game down - great if you are playing mixed doubles. What makes this tennis court unique is that it has an ocean view! Try not to get distracted by the pelicans flying by as you play the game. Or play at night with the lights and when it is cool.

Casa Melissa has three bedrooms for the quoted price. The nearby Casita bedroom suite is available for rent for an extra charge. The Casita is only rented as part of Casa Melissa. You would never share this beautiful estate with other renters.

The view

The property offers adequate space and offers a functional layout. The pool is nice and warm and has the best views, watching the sunsets was the best part of our trip. The property is not in walking distance to the town nor a beach but a short drive, the road to the property is steep and requires 4X4.

Beautiful place

Melissa was extremely thorough and helpful before, during and even after our stay when a few items got mistakenly left behind. The house was very spacious with multiple rooms and a small casita. The pool was beautiful and the view of the ocean was outstanding. We loved our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Melissa

Our stay at Casa Melissa was perfect. The house and the setting are both beautiful- 180 degree views of the ocean and amazing sunsets. The staff took excellent care of us. We highly recommend a visit to San Pancho. It's a laid back, authentic Mexican village. If you do go, a stay at Casa Melissa is a must.

Gorgeous views!

We loved our stay at Casa Melissa! We had a great family vacation with 10 people & there was plenty of room for everyone. The views up and down the coast were magnificent! One of our favorite things to do was just lay in the pool & watch the birds fly by at eye level. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing Experience

The property and experience is 5/5 in every aspect. We were a group of 8 adults with one baby. Melissa was very flexible in every little thing that we required for the baby or anything else. The house is also in excellent conditions, the beds are very comfortable and the air conditioner in every room works perfectly. The house also has a comprehensive guide of what you can do in San Pancho and how to solve any small problem that could arise (wifi, watter, etc.). The house also has anything that could need to have a wonderful day at the beach (beach umbrellas, coolers, beds for the beach, etc). Pool and tennis court also in great conditions and with lights so you can play at night. All the staff, Otto, Imelda, Yeyo, Francis are very kind and can give additional recommendations. We were very happy to choose casa Melissa for our family vacation and would come back any time if possible.

WOW!.... Casa Melissa is a great property to relax and be spoiled. The property is well taken care of with beautiful grounds. Our family enjoyed the spectacular pool. The services are wonderful: Nidia cooked a couple special dinners - some of the best food we've had. Iris and Otto were extremely attentive to all our needs.

Loved Our Stay

The property was wonderful!! The owner was very informative and accessible. The pictures don't do the view justice. It is breathtaking when you pull up to the house. The staff was highly attentive, grounds and house very well maintained. We had one issue with the gate not opening, and it was resolved immediately! If you stay here, you MUST hire Yeyo to cook. We had him for 3 dinners and 1 brunch, and his company and cooking were spectacular!! We will absolutely be back:)

Can't say enough good things about the property and staff at Casa Melissa. We spent 5 nights and will have memories to last a life time. The views are even more beautiful than the photos posted. Absolutely jaw dropping. Great for a family vacation or girl's trip. San Pancho is easy to walk to and the people are so gracious, warm, and welcoming. Would love to make this an annual trip. Thank you Melissa!!!!

Wowza !

This place does not disappoint in any way. I’ve stayed in some pretty Cool places on the Pacific Ocean, and Casa Melissa rises to the top of the list. The Views are amazing from any where on the property. I have waited for over 15 years for it to be available for my travel dates, and finally the stars aligned, and I got my wish. I hope to stay here many more times. Thank you Melissa for sharing your Wonderful place with us, we feel blessed.

Spectacular!

This is a truly stunningly beautiful property! We loved the house, the food that Yeyo made us was amazing, town is close enough to walk to, but far enough that you're out of the fray. We enjoyed the views from the pool and the house, and the sound of the waves is gorgeous. The house was exceedingly well-equipped too; the kitchen has everything you need, and towels are abundant. Melissa is a wonderful owner and manager. She was extremely accommodating and forthcoming with information. You cannot go wrong with a stay at Casa Melissa!

Family Christmas getaway

When we arrived at Casa Melissa, we quickly agreed that the pictures did not do justice to how beautiful this property is. It exceeded expectations. We ate 4 meals at home: Red Snapper, Fajitas, Coconut Shrimp, and Chili Rellenos. Yeyo is an excellent cook and we'd strongly recommend using his services. Before the trip, I had an extensive dialog with Melissa and she promptly answered all questions asked from travel, to eating recommendations, to personal safety. I would highly recommend this property.

Lovely place for a getaway

House was very well maintained and had everything we needed. The pool was a delight. It was a bit isolated which was good. We used taxi recommended by Iris to go to San Pancho and Sayulita. She was always helpful no matter what we asked. It was hot in Mexico in August. The bedrooms are air conditioned, but not the rest of the house. That said, our stay was delightful. We would return, but at a different time of year

Paradise!

We had a fabulous time at Casa Melissa! It was so peaceful and relaxing and the views are stunning! We had Yeyo and his wife Francis fix 2 breakfasts and 3 dinners during our stay and it was so delicious. We had fun zip lining and walking to the beach but the best part is hanging out at the house, watching the birds, and staring at the ocean from the pool. I did not want to leave! My boyfriend proposed to me in the pool so this made the trip even more special:) We did not miss the use of our phones and didn't watch TV so it was a true escape from reality. I highly recommend this house!!! Thanks for everything! Kimberly and Steven

About the host

Hosted by Melissa McCann

Host profile image
We are a family of 4. We have always spent part of the winter in Mexico. When we discovered San Pancho we knew this was the place where we wanted to build a house. We built the house to fit our family, so each of the kids had their own bedroom and could have a friend come down and vacation with them, plus we had an extra bedroom for the parents.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky enough to visit San Pancho before it was 'discovered'. When we saw this property with its incredible views we knew we had to buy it. We see more of the coast/ocean then any other property in the area! It is magical. Arriving at Casa Melissa and looking at the view is immediately relaxing. My favorite thing is to swim in the pool mesmerized by the views in each direction.

My husband and I disagreed on only one thing - which was the better view, the view to the south looking at Punta Sayulita or the view to the north looking at a series of small beaches. So most of the house has views to the south, but the master bedroom has views in both directions and has a balcony on the north side as well as opening to the terrace on the south side. In the mornings I sit in the dining room looking north and he sits at the opposite end of the table looking south. We worked it out.

What makes this property unique

Besides the fabulous view, we had to have a tennis court. We built one made out of an Australian product that is sand and astro-turf. It plays like clay but is ready for play 15 minutes after the rain ends (very important in the summer). The other great thing about the court is that it slows the game down - great if you are playing mixed doubles or singles with your husband. Oh and the other great thing about the court is that it has an ocean view. Try not to get distracted by the pelicans flying over the ocean as you play the game.
