What a gorgeous property!! Great stay, Sandi and Rick made our stay comfortable and relaxed. Sandi, cooked very delicious meals for us at very reasonable price. She answered all our questions regarding to restaurants, excursions and she even called the combi for us. She is very helpful and her English was great!!. Honestly, I didn't expect the road to the house. But, I also learned not judge the cover by its cover. We sure enjoyed all the local Mexican people, they are very friendly and hospitable. We even got invited to an engagement party across the street. Rick, sure keeps the property clean and the pool is his pride and joy. It is in immaculate condition and warm. We sure loved diving in after the beach. I totally recommend this property.

I cannot say enough good things about Casa Fortuna. Every detail from the airport pickups, to meals, to activates, to reservations were flawless.
We rented Casa Fortuna for a vacation between two families (7 people in total). The house was amazing with an authentic hacienda feel. The ocean was steps away and of course the gorgeous pool and backyard were right at our fingertips.
The caretakers, Sandi and Rick, were incredible. We paid Said an incredibly reasonable rate to cook dinner for us each night. We loved having authentic Mexican dishes and being able to eat under the twinkling lights of the garden rather than going out to a restaurant. On the one night we did venture into the town Sandi and Rick arranged reservations and transportation for us which was a huge help.
With Sandi’s help we booked jet skis, had massages facials and manicures at the house, and even arranged a day trip visit to the mangroves of San Blas an hour or so away. They sweetly arranged for us to have a traditional Mexican New Year’s celebration by getting us a piñata to break at midnight!
The town is very small but friendly. We ventured in for the Thursday markets and of course for some lunchtime tacos. There are grocery stores and pharmacies that have anything you could ever need, but Sandi was wonderful about letting us give her a list of things we wanted from the store/pharmacy and she would happily get them.
The internet was strong for when we occasionally wanted to check a few emails but the majority of the time we were laying out relaxing on the beach or poolside.
Before booking I contacted the owners to ask several questions and their responses were prompt and complete. My family and I were looking for an authentic Mexico getaway far away from tourists and any “Cancun” type vibes. We were able to help a local fisherman pull in his nets, meet local artisans, and eat some amazing food all within a short walk from the house. Casa Fortuna was the perfect home for us.
Honestly we have no complaints and can’t wait for our next trip to Casa Fortuna. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican getaway far from the crowds this is for you!
Thank you again to Sherry, Doreen, Rick and Sandi!

Everything about Casa Fortuna was fantastic–from its location and view to the help, food and friendliness from Sandi and Rick every day. Everything is within reach at the villa: town is a 20min walk away and really pleasant for a wander; the beach (fishing, jetskis, boat tours etc) is yours, usually to yourselves; and the building itself is perfectly geared to large groups. The bedrooms were dreamy, pool perfect, kitchen well-stocked and lounge area great for catching up with friends and family. Couldn't recommend the place more.
