Casa Gratitud was a beautiful reprieve and place to relax while enjoying the Mexican Bay of Banderas in the quaint fishing village of Yelapa. The house sits well above the coast affording a view that never grows old with whales spouting and playing almost every day. The landscaping surrounding the home is beautiful, blending in with the natural, lush landscape of palm trees, banana trees, and other rainforest type vegetation. The three levels of the home made for just the right amount of space for a family to spread out and not feel cramped, but the main living area was where we could hang out all together very comfortably. The patio provided outdoor seating for dining and games, but the kitchen bar was convenient for grabbing quick breakfasts and snacks. The kitchen was clean and stocked well enough for us to eat almost all of our breakfasts in the house, as well as to prepare two meals. (The food in Yelapa was wonderful too, however, so preparing meals is not completely necessary.)Although the weather was cloudy and not as warm as we had hoped for, Casa Graditud saved the trip, making our family vacation memorable, relaxing, and beautiful!

The property is located right above the outcropping that separates the 2 beaches at Yelapa, and the gate is in the main path in town. Great location, and you will enjoy all night the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks 30 feet below the wrap around balcony. The stairway down to the property is in great shape and charming. It separates you from the horses, donkeys and ATV traffic. The pool, not huge, is wonderful; on the cool side late in December, which was therapeutic. It helped my sore, sun burnt, bug bitten body after 7 days of birding in the region. Great view. No house in Yelapa has a better view than this apartment. Also, importantly, the huge king bed was firm, but comfy. A previous post suggested updating. I agree, but it works as-is, and a big update will drive the price up. What I paid was very very reasonable. A couple inexpensive fixes may be sufficient, which I will share with the host. Final note, this is one of three units. This is the middle one. I met the folks staying in both. They were great. Bottom line, I would/will definitely stay here again.

Excellent place to stay. I was unable to get info back on rental (address) could not get on my phone had I been able to get info earlier a couple of weeks prior to leaving for Mexico would of been great. I had a picture and a local found the rental was lucky. Always love YELAPA very special place.
