Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bahía de Banderas

This was our 3rd year staying with Juan at Los Veneros and we hope to return every year. I travel with my 3 kids (now 8, 6 and 4) and the space is perfectly set up for our family with good bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen. The pools are a favorite part of our stay because they are large and the water is comfortable. The beach is beautiful and fun to play on. The staff at Los Veneros offered us goggles and sand toys which was so nice. We forgot salt but could buy it at the market along with other basics. We always go eat at the W Hotel next door and the meal is delicious.

We stayed for a week with friends who own a condo in a different tower. The condo was spacious and very clean. We also really enjoyed the balcony and the views. We had a wonderful time and are considering staying again next year. One callout would be that the kitchen was not stocked with basic necessities like salt, pepper, dish soap or a sponge. Just a heads up that you will need to buy these or bring them with you.

It's a very large apartment, comfortable and quite equipped! The place is very nice full of nature Excellent for a peaceful family vacation

This spot in Sayulita was perfect! The host was amazing and helped us plan airport transport, golf cart rental, and a private chef dinner at the place. Seriously such a great stay! The maid came frequently and was amazing! The AC units in the bedrooms worked great! But just a warning that there are no ACs in the living area/kitchen/bathrooms, so they get pretty warm. Especially the bathrooms that are open to the outside, they get very very hot by the end of the day. Not a deal breaker, just something to be warned about. Overall, we had a great stay and the location and experience was one to remember!

Second time visiting this great town. Feels protected from the many tourists visiting the area. Amazing, peaceful stay. Spacious condo with everything we needed. Great to have our own little area for chairs/table right next to the pool. Tree just outside crawling with wildlife every morning: iguanas, herons, egrets. Teresa's Tacos, El Sueño de Mita, Norma's Tacos, Pescaderia Punta de Mita, all within walking distance. The constant noise of the waves throughout our time. Next time probably won't bother with a rental car -- we were happy to just stick within a walk of condo.

Easy to get to apartment... At the entrance, the staff are very friendly, at the reception they are quick and with precise instructions.... Very nice, spacious, it has everything described, the large pool, enough beds. With excellent views of the pool and the sea. Great for relaxing and enjoying with family... Very friendly hosts, they respond quickly to any questions. We highly recommend it...!!!

The house was very clean, with a great location and Gabriel was very attentive

Great spot for a bachelorette party! Lots of space for a bigger group, well-stocked kitchen, and easily walkable to town. Would stay again!

We had a lovely six week stay at Diane's place.

The house is adorable, kitchen small but stocked well. There is someone who cleans the house which is very nice and well stocked with linens blankets paper towels, toilet paper, soap etc. location is so perfect. Laura helped us with anything we ever needed and was extremely quick to communicate and help.

peaceful and private, yard with hammock, comfortable king bed. loved it, so much better than the hassle of Condominium in the area. will stay again if I have the opportunity. spent about 2.5 weeks and it's such a quiet area no traffic noise. thanks again

We absolutely loved our stay at Ebony’s place in Sayulita. The location right in the middle of town was so close to the beach and all restaurants! We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the live music each night (If you’re adverse to noise this might not be for you). Overall we had a 10/10 time!

Casa Destino was the most unique, ideal place to stay that we could’ve asked for. The house was full of authentic Sayulita charm, perfectly clean, well equipped (comfy beds, strong AC, chlorine pool) and convenient in relation to both town and beach. We rented a golf cart for the week, which was great to have when feeling lazy but everything in town was perfectly walkable from the house too. The surrounding homes were always quiet, so while there are neighbors, it still felt perfectly secluded, private and safe. Amazing views of both the jungle side and town side, and a killer top deck for a sunset lookout. Nancy was beyond helpful with dining/beach location/activity recommendations, transportation coordinating and overall communication all week long. If you’re looking for a chill, fun and rejuvenating experience in Sayulita, this home is the cherry on top. Cannot wait to come back! 🌞

House was great and nice location on north side of town. Close beach access and ability to rent a golf cart were awesome! Pool was very clean and fun as well. Condo was awesome and perfect size for our group!

Casa Norte was wonderful! Walkable to the beach, restaurants, bars and more. Very responsive, provocative, helpful hosts that provided options for groceries, shuttles, and recommendations. Highly recommend!

The Casita is adorable and is just as pictures with a great view. It was hard to leave the patio. The location is great and an easy walk to the beach and town. This was our first visit to Sayulita , which is a lovely town, however the beach below the casita is very busy, lined with rows and rows of chairs and umbrellas for rent and each bar playing their own loud music, so the evenings on the beautiful patio were not quiet and we could hear the thumping of the music until the wee hours of the morning. We prefer less crowds so we spent our days on the quieter beaches, which is just a short walk away. Bring shampoo as there is none provided and a lighter in case you have to use it to light the stove and enjoy this beautiful Casita. We did. Thank you.

Jillian ensures everything we needed was in place, great amenities and location!! We will be back for sure!!

A very nice apartment with an excellent location. The view is beautiful and the pool and beach area are perfect for relaxing.

We loved this place! It had a lot of room and we really felt immersed in Mexican culture. Lots of character and was super easy and hassle free. We would stay there again.

Our family had a great vacation here. Everything was very clean and organized. The host provided ample information to help us explore the area. The pool felt fantastic during the summer heat. The location of this house is very close to the beach and a short walk to anywhere you want to go in the area. We highly recommend staying here.

Villas del Rio is a lovely place to stay. It is as beautiful as the photos, and comfortable as well. Located toward the west end of town, it has easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops, but is just at the edge of Centro, so the traffic and noise are somewhat less than a few blocks away. Still, Sayulita is a party town, so expect to hear music late into the night, and it’s best not to bring a car. Our host Ruben and the property manager Will warned us that street parking would be dicey, and when we found a spot around the corner, we didn’t move the car for five days. We certainly did not need it. Walking is the best mode of transportation. Stepping inside the gate feels like escaping into a tropical paradise. After the joyous chaos of the crowded streets, it is a welcome, peaceful retreat. Ruben and Will provided excellent information before we arrived and were always accessible, but we didn’t have any problems. Book a stay here if you can find open dates.

Absolutely comfortable. We went as a family and everyone slept comfortably in their rooms. The subdivision where the property is located is safe and strict with noise and access issues. The house is in good condition. Highly recommended.

We researched many houses in Sayulita and it was a difficult choice to narrow down. With this place we picked the right one! Excellent location and easy to walk to and from town as well as the beach. Only one small section of steeper street to manage at the top but pretty easy compared to some of the other places around town and how steep the roads are. Plenty of golf cart rentals if you need one but we never felt it was needed for us. Everything is very close by as this is a nice smaller town that is easily manageable once you spend a few days here. The house has plenty of space and the roof top patio and pool were must haves to relax and enjoy the views. If you are choosing between a few narrowed down selections you won’t be disappointed with this house. We would definitely rent again. Prices in town seemed on average about half of Puerto Vallarta and other heavy tourist Mexico spots for food and drinks. Safe town. Friendly people. Incredible food. Always felt welcomed.

Victor's place in Sayulita is truly a gem. The house and the pool were perfect for our family trip and the neighbors were super friendly. We had absolutely no issues and would recommend to anyone planning a trip. Just note that as the listing states, it is a 10-15 minute walk to the town center, but for us this was no problem. Also, you can always rent a golf cart to move around if needed.
