Recent Casa Melissa reviews – a favorite San Pancho rental
Google, Trip Advisor and VRBO reviews have rated Casa Melissa with 5 stars!
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, water, etc.). The house also has anything that could need to have a wonderful day at the beach (beach umbrellas, coolers, towels 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. EE, Mexico 7/24

We had a lovely time in your house and San Pancho. Everything in the house was impeccable…the staff (my dad became besties with Otto), the decor, views, chef dinner. WOW we did not want to leave!! We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. Our hearts are so full. Thank you!! AV, Texas 5/24

Our group of 5 adults had an amazing stay! The casa, the quiet/remote location of the casa, the town of San Pancho (incredible food, atmosphere and beaches), everything was magical. There was enough room to spread out to get some peaceful private time, or all hang out together at the infiniti pool with the incredible views of the pacific and all kinds of birds flying eye level because of the elevation,180 degree views. Pool heated perfectly, great for night swims. Beautiful property inside and out, very good natural light. The AC in all the areas made it very comfortable when it got hot. Water pressure very good. Host thought of everything from 5 gallon water dispenser, washer/dryer, dishwash, pitcher of margaritas in fridge upon arrival, bluetooth speakers, house keeper daily if necessary, landscaper in the morning. Tennis court was impecable but we never used, too hot for activity for us… Because of the remote location, we rented golf carts (electric) through Mexico golf carts online (they delivered right to front gate at bottom of steep driveway) and the carts handled street incline up to driveway (which is pretty steep as well) and the driveway incline itself just fine (3 people max). We tried to go through one local company in San Pancho and they denied us because they said they knew the location of casa melissa and said electric carts would not be suitable… Thanks Melissa for providing such an incredible property which made memories for a lifetime for all of us.

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. SA 7/2023

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:) CM 7/2023

This exceptionally unique property was perfect for our group of women who wanted a getaway that provided us with both common gathering areas and space for individual privacy. Each room and the casita are tastefully decorated and have all the creature comforts that make a vacation home enjoyable. It would be easy to sit on the back patio or in the perfectly maintained infinity pool for the entire stay, but the surrounding areas also provide for lovely beach walks or cocktails and ceviche in town. Melissa was responsive and super helpful with our planning and her staff was great during our stay. ¡Casa Melissa es fenomenal! KB 1/2023

Casa Melissa was incredible. It’s one of the most beautiful spots we have ever been to. The house, tennis court and pool were all in great shape and used constantly by our group. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. The house and kitchen were fully stocked with all the equipment and amenities we could think to use. We saw humpback whales, dolphins and many types of large birds from the pool and patio, and used the (basket full) of binoculars often. It is a little difficult to find at first, but Melissa gives thorough directions, and once you figure it out it becomes simple. The grounds manager helped us rent a golf cart (which was delivered to the house) on the first day. We found that more fun to take rides in to town to go to the beach and out to eat. It’s a special place, and we won’t forget it. JE 1/2023

“This property is exactly as it is advertised and then some. The cleanliness was outstanding. Every room was spotless. The views are tremendous upstairs and downstairs. Will never forget this pool. MAGNIFICENT sunset views, gorgeous coastline, it does not come any better. Expectations were exceeded. Spectacular.
Took advantage of Chef Yeyo cooking for us for 2 breakfasts and one Dinner. Delicious Mexican cuisine with leftovers for 2 more days. Although constructions were quite a few coming from Puerto Vallarta, it never delayed us and we arrived on time. Construction on the Hill behind Casa Melissa never bothered us.
I have to add that Melissa was a great hostess. She kept us informed weeks before our arrival of the going-ons in San Pancho and surrounding areas. Any question we had she answered within hours. Thank you so much Melissa ! in a Nut Shell, we will visit this place again without hesitation. House was beautifully decorated ….and the pitcher of Margarita’s was a classy touch.” RN, Scottsdale, AZ 6/22

“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!” SM, Portland, OR 11/21

Amazing views, great landscaping and the crew from the cooks, cleaning and maintenance staff all super friendly and informative. We had a wonderful surprise of refillable water bottles and sun visors! The house had plenty of beach towels, games and all you need when your on vacation. We will have many fond memories of Casa Melissa!” LP, San Jose, CA 9/21

“Casa Melissa and the Town of San Pancho are absolutely perfect! We had the best time. So relaxing, amazing food and Staff. I am not sure you could find a better view from the pool anywhere. Make sure to rent a golf cart. It was a lifesaver.” CT, Thornton, CO 8/21

“When I stumbled on the listing for Casa Melissa, I booked it immediately for three magical nights. I couldn’t believe it was available for part of our trip. We stayed the remainder of our trip at the Garza Blanca and while that was really nice, Casa Melissa was the place that we talk about when our friends and family ask about our trip.
The views are insane – 180 degree views from most of the rooms. My family of four had plenty of room to spread out and then some. We spent so much time in the pool because it is just gorgeous and extremely luxurious. I have so many stunning photos from sunrise to sunset of us in the pool and we live in Florida and have plenty of pool time if that is any indication of how awesome this pool is.
The town is safe, friendly and authentic but we just truly enjoyed relaxing at the house. We are a busy family with kids (ages 15 and 6) and this forced us to slow down and relax.
Another highlight for my family was hiring Yeyo to come and prepare dinner for two of the three nights. Please do yourself a favor and schedule him. He is kind, professional and his meals were such a treat. I’m still thinking about his guacamole and frozen margaritas. We had enough leftovers for lunch both times.
And now for those who are here for the tennis, this was truly a special treat to be able to walk down to our own private court with the waves crashing in the background. The court is fantastic and we felt so spoiled! I didn’t tell my husband and teenage son that the home had its own court so they were completely shocked when we pulled up to the gated entrance. It was such a fun surprise for them and they spent hours playing on it each day!
The owner is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and gives you very detailed information. Thank you for everything and we will definitely return to this special place in the near future.” BS, Sarasota, FL 7/21

“Our stay started with the beautifully manicured lawn of Casa Melissa that looks over a cliff to the Pacific Ocean. The inside was nicely decorated and cozy. Yeyo’s dinner that evening was perfectly prepared for the tires travelers. Nothing can beat their sunsets! No complaints about our stay.” RD, Boerne, TX 4/21

“The trip was absolutely fabulous Melissa and the pool was perfect… we all love the warm pool, so I am very grateful that it was up and working for us. Iris, Yeyo and Francis were amazing as usual! We all felt very safe in this time of Covid as well. The only issue was that the trip was too shortWe will definitely be contacting you in the near (Hopefully) future as we owe the trip to our friend Carmen who couldn’t make it. She never did catch it, but stayed back for safety reasons.We were wondering…. do you play tennis or do a lot of your guests? It just such a lovely spot for a tennis court! Love, loved our stay! Thanks once again!” JA, Centennial, CO 11/20

“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. I highly recommend a stay at Casa Melissa!” SL, Littleton, CO 7/20

“I just wanted to send you a quick thank you. The descriptions and pictures of your home on the vrbo website does not do your home justice. Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you again for sharing your home and your Mexico family with us.” ME, Omaha 9/19

“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.” LW, Texas 8/19

“Everything was beyond our expectations. Everything… Working with the home owner Melissa – Amazing! She answered every question so promptly and was so informative and kind. Casa Melissa – Amazing. So clean, comfortable, well appointed, lay out was perfect! Iris, Yeyo and their helpers – AMAZING! We were there for only 4 nights and it felt like they were family. Food was amazing, the house we kept so clean – they went above and beyond. They are all irreplaceable. We hope to come back next year and make Casa Melissa our home away from home.” JA, Colorado 04/19

Christmas was wonderful…the whole family assembled by December 21 so we had several days of all ten of us together which gets harder to do each year. Yeyo did chile rellenos for us all one night…and he provided tamales enough for several meals…and Nidia provided a couple of cakes — the coconut cake was fabulous.
“The weather was great…we loved the improvements you have made…saw lots of whales…also had a fabulous shrimp dinner with shrimp from Martin… Christmas eve dinner at Maria’s…the octopus tacos at Barracuda…and ventured, at Iris’ suggestion to Chico’s on the beach in Chacala for a wonderful grilled fish meal. Betsy and I are looking forward to returning in February.Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2019 is good to you and your family.” BE, California 12/18

Everyone in our wedding party was jealous we got the best house in town and many of them plan on booking their future stay with Casa Melissa.”
