Sherry & Doreen - I wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely amazing time last week at Casa Fortuna! I feel so incredibly relaxed and feel like I got away from it all. Sandy and Rick were wonderful and Sandy's cooking was to die for! Her chicken enchiladas were life changing!!!! They were both so accomodating and helpful. The house is a dream come true. I stayed in the corner room that has the two sliding doors and I felt like I was in heaven! We've decided that we must make it an annual event!
Thanks for everything and most especially your patience in setting up one of my best vacations yet! |

| Awesome was our catch phrase the whole time we were there. Our group of 7 consisted of 5 adults & 2 children, ranging in age from 4 to 70. Everyone enjoyed our time at Casa Fortuna and we are looking forward to going back next year. We went in late April and the weather was perfect, not one cloudy day. We had never rented a house before but always wanted to try it. After my first email to the owners I knew this was the place for us. We also hired Sandi to cook breakfast and dinner for our entire stay. Let me tell you, she is the best! We never had to worry about finding a restaurant the kids would eat at or rush thru a meal because the kids wanted to go. Dinner was ready and you could eat whenever and where ever you wanted. Sandi even helped get a cake and a pinata for my birthday dinner. You will not be disappointed staying at Casa Fortuna, only when you have to say goodbye. Thank you for a great time! |

Wow! What a fantastic place. Our group of 8 long-
term friends spent a week at Casa Fortuna at the
end of February, 2008. We totally agree with all of
the comments of the preceding guests. In a way,
Casa Fortuna defies description. It IS simply
paradise. An added bonus is an educational one.
Besides feeling perfectly at home and not wanting
to leave, we learned about the town, some of the
enterprising ways the people there make a living -
for example, fishing, trimming coconut trees - and
we learned about some of the logistical aspects
involved in maintaining a home there. The owners
and their wonderful staff, Rick and Sandra, have
done a first-rate job of making Casa Fortuna the
best place our group has ever stayed in our many
years of travel together. We only wish we were still
there! |

| If your'e seeking a roomy, comfortable beach-side casa on Mexico's west coast that has class to boot, this is it ! Our group consisted of 8 in total - my daughter, her husband, their 5 kids, and myself ( "El Viejo" ), using all four of the bedrooms. Our two week stay at Casa Fortuna from October 10th to 23rd this year was a vacation we'll always remember fondly. We arranged through Sherry to have Rick and Sandra prepare us an "Arrival Dinner" on day one - dorado and many other delicious items. But we succeeded in preparing many of our own meals in the spacious and well-equippd "cocina" but many meals we had out in several of the reasonably priced restaurants in Jaltemba . The views from the 3 upstairs bedrooms are to die for ! - especially the south-west corner room with its huge windows on two sides - the sunsets are breath-taking and having morning coffee on the front veranda most pleasant. The new pool was exceptional - especially on those extra hot, muggy days - what bliss !; cerveza and cooling agua under those tall palms. While the condition of the street leading to the casa is in need of some improvemnt, we soon got used to getting the taxis to slow down ("mas despacio, por favor"). The beach in front is right there - very convenient and "no vendedores" in sight, but do watch small children carefully in the surf - there's a bit of a drop-off in this sector of the beach, but over-all very satisfying - and always warm! Would we go for Casa Fortuna again ? -- Absolutely ! |

Comment Text: We just returned from spending
two weeks at Casa Fortuna and would go back in an
instant! The house was everything we expected
from the accurate pictures and info on the VRBO
site, and more......
Everything was set up for maximum enjoyment on a
Mexican holiday, right down to the most
comfortable floating armchair and beer can holder
in the pool ever experienced. The pool was gem
and suited us non-swimmers perfectly. I look
forward to getting my bookclub, or any other
travelers I can round up, to come to Casa Fortuna
very soon.

First off, the photos on here do not do Casa Fortuna justice!
The whole hacienda type “home” is amazingly beautiful with fantastic views and right on the ocean.
It is obvious the owners put a lot of thought, energy and money into the whole place to make it not only gorgeous but very comfortable. Everything you could want or need is there and we had such a fabulous vacation as it felt like “home” but soooo much better than our home?
We loved just lounging around watching the ocean, swimming in the pool, grilling steaks and having dinner or making breakfast and having coffee looking at the ocean and wishing we lived here.
I also received an info pack about the area and such and booked an in-house massage on afternoon. That was awesome and inexpensive. Such a treat!
We have stayed at many places in Mexico but this was by far our favorite when we consider location, amenities and the price. A BARGAIN!
We will for sure go back as the whole time there we were planning on getting some friends together to spend a week in the future. Too bad we already had our wedding planned as this would have been a perfect place for a nice little beachside wedding.
In the end, we were sad to leave as we had a perfectly relaxing and wonderful vacation.
I highly recommend staying here- you will not be disappointed and the owners are great on providing info and making sure you have a fabulous time!
