CANCELLATIONS / REFUNDS
If it is necessary to cancel reservations, please notify us as soon as possible. We will attempt to re-rent the unit for the time you had reserved.

If re-rented for less than the entire period, you will receive a refund for the total amount of the advance payment(s) minus a $100 admin fee and minus the amount for the un-rented days. If the unit is not re-rented, no rent refund will be issued, but your security deposit will be refunded in full if already paid. In the case of events outside the control of owner/agent, causing propery to be unavailable, you will be notified at the earliest possible date and a full refund of all funds will be paid.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
The maximum occupancy is 4 for the main house and 2 for the guest house, with an additional 2 person capacity if the lower studio bedroom is also rented.

PAYMENT
A reservation is considered confirmed when a payment of one half (50%) of the total rent is provided to confirm the reservation. Reservations will be held for 24 hours to allow for payment arrival. If confirmation of payment is not received within this time, the reservation may be canceled without notice. The final rent payment is due forty-five (45) days before the arrival date. If the reservation is made within this 45 day period, the total rent must be paid at the time of reservation.

ASSIGNMENT / SUBLETTING
Guest cannot assign the rental agreement or sublet use of any part of the house.

DAMAGES
Guest making the reservation shall be liable for any damages to the house and/or it's contents.

ERRORS AND OMISSION
Every effort is made to ensure that all information provided herein is accurate and complete. However, the owner/agent shall not be held liable for issues or concerns with regard to the house or surrounding facilities that are the result of changes outside of their control.

INDEMNITY
The owner/agent is not responsible for circumstances beyond their control, including but not limited to disturbances on nearby propery, construction noise, or debris, town festivities or acts of nature. Rental of the propery and occupation thereof by Guests, families, and fellow guests is entirely at the risk of the Guest; and while every effort is made by the owner/agent for the comfort and safety of Guests, families, and fellow guests, the owner/agent is not responsible for such comfort and safety while Guest, families and fellow guests occupy the owner's propery during the period of lease, unless through willful negligence of owner/agent.

CONSTRUCTION
As Sayulita continues to grow, we cannot predict when or where new construction will begin. Unofortunately, we have no control in these situations and cannot move or offer refunds on confirmed reservations if construction occurs near us.

CHILDREN & SAFETY
casabrava is not designed to be safe for children because it is built into a very steep hill and there are several areas with open railings above high drop offs. One unprotected side of the pool also sits above a high retaining wall. These elements make the house spectacular for adults, but unfortunately, they are also potentially dangerous for children. For this reason, we also do not allow any young children to visit the house.

GUEST RESPONSIBILITY
The guest whose name appears on the confirmation is responsible for all terms and conditions set forth in this document for them, their guests or others they may have visiting or staying at casa brava during their term of occupancy.

INSURANCE
Vacation and trip interruption/cancellation insurance is available from many insurance carriers and is recommended for guests to consider for protecting their investment.

PARKING
An assigned space is provided for one vehicle per house. Other parking is available on the street.

REPAIRS / MAINTENANCE
Every effort is made to be certain that household equipment will be in working order upon arrival. Inoperative equipment should be reported to property manager and every effort will be made to correct the problem; however, no refund or rate adjustment will be made for mechanical failures or disruption of service (e.g. phone, internet, water) which is beyond the control of owner/agent.

SECURITY / CLEANING / TELEPHONE
Reservations may require a $300 refundable Security Deposit with your final payment. This deposit will be returned in full by mail within 15 days after departure provided there is no damage, the house is left in good condition, and all keys have been returned. If a problem is determined to exist (damage repairs, extraordinary cleaning, long distance telephone charges, etc.), we will notify you in writing explaining the nature of the problem(s) and the costs to resolve them. These costs will be deducted from the security deposit. If anything in the unit is damaged during your stay, please let us know before you leave.

TERMINATION OF RENTAL
The owner/agent reserves the right ro refuse rental or terminate occupancy if in their opinion the occupancy may be detrimental to the property or illegal activities are taking place. No refund will be given if occupancy is terminated as a result of substantial violation of rental agreement or if reservations are obtained under false pretenses.


As with any property use agreement, these are basic terms and conditions that we feel are appropriate and will request that you sign a printed copy of the agreement with your final payment.

"We absolutely adored your guest unit. It was everything that we anticipated it would be from the pictures on the website. From the minute we "landed" to the time we left, we felt like we were at home. The space was amazing as was Felipe and the housekeeping staff. Dale and Chris were excellent to deal with (even though it was via e-mail) and the whole experience was handled in a professional manner. We loved our Casa Brava experience!" (guest unit)

		Salt Lake City
"We had such a great and relaxing stay! We visit Sayulita alot and we are so glad we decided to rent your home. Everything was perfect! Great views, wonderful rooms, comfortable beds just a perfect set up! We visit the area about 5 times a year and we will be returning to your home from now on. Thanks again! " (main house)

		Ontario, Canada
"We were highly recommended Casa Brava by another couple who spent their honeymoon there. Pictures do not do this home justice. We were pleasantly surprised at not only the house but the town of Sayulita, the people and of course the food! Dale and Chris were extremely helpful in guiding us to things to do and making sure the house was complete with everything we needed for the honeymoon of our dreams. We will be returning for sure...a one year anniversay???" (main house)

		Portland, OR
"This is about 2 years late! We had the most amazing time staying here at Casa Brava! Dale was incredibly kind to us and the guest unit was perfect! Great view of Sayulita and within easy walking distance to town. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. Dale, sorry this is so late, but thank you for making our stay such a great experience. All our best to you! Kristin & Marty" (guest unit)

		Pasadena, CA
"Have you ever dreamt of running off to a soulful little town in Mexico with no cares at all but swimming, eating, and exploring? And staying in a perfectly appointed home with a view that literally takes your breath away (after you've walked up the hill!) Casa Brava is beyond unique, and after spending time with Dale and Chris, it seems only natural they have realized such a dream house to share with others. With all the creature comforts you could ever ask for, Casa Brava is the perfect place to lay your head after a long lazy day. Magical." (guest unit)

		Long Beach, CA
"Absolutely incredible stay. There are many unique homes throughout Sayulita but none as unique as Casa Brava. Without question the best view of the entire area. Christopher and Dale are the best hosts anyone could hope for. We'll be recommending Casa Brava to all of our friends and family." (main house)

		Ventura
"Perfect house,guest house and studio, great for traveling with or 3 sons and 2 of their friends, we had plenty of room and most enjoyed the pool. We most certainly will go back to Casa Brava" (main house)

		Seattle
"We chose Casa Brava for our honeymoon and could not have been happier. The location, view, and overall aesthetics of the house are amazing. If you are looking for an incredible Sayulita/Mexican experience I would strongly recommend this house" (main house)

		Henderson, NV
"Thanks Dale & Chris! We had a great time relaxing in your home and enjoying Sayulita and the surrounding area. This was our first visit to Sayulita and we will undoubtedly be returning asap. Casa Brava was the ideal spot to reunite with some old friends. It provided an excellent venue to celebrate and relax together, while also offering our own sanctuary in the guest house to retreate to." (guest unit)

		Ventura
"The house was incredible! Great views, amazing pool, very nice rooms. Felipe is so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come again next year!" (main house)

		SF, CA
"We were lucky enough to get the entire property: main house, guest house and studio. It became our own little compound and we were hard pressed to leave! The views down into Sayulita were breathtaking, watching the sun set from the infinity pool was beyond amazing! I have stayed in many really lovely holiday homes and I must say that Casa Brava ranks right up there in the top 3. We all particularly liked how instead of having one "master suite" with a large bed and then several other rooms with 2 or more beds in each, each room at Casa Brava was like a master suite. How refreshing! Thank you Dale and Christopher for sharing your gorgeous Casa Brava with us! And also thank you to Felipe - he was very helpful and I enjoyed practicing my Spanish with him! Cheers!" (main house)

"We had a great time at casa brava, which was the highlight of our two week trip to Mexico. If only we could find houses like this one in other places!" (main house)

"What a delightful house and what a beautiful location. We had a perfectly spendid time and look forward to coming back." (main house)

		San Francisco, Ca
"Casa Brava was the perfect vacation and holiday getaway for my family of friends. The house and views are absolutely amazing. Felipe, the house "man" was so helpful and friendly. It is clear that he cares about the house and guests too.The house is well built and tasefully decorated in minimalist style - perfect for our vacation. The owners (thank you!) were so helpful while we stayed there and offered us a lot of extra advice and tips for our trip. We hope to come back! Thanks again - we really can't say enough good things about casa brava!" (main house)

"Our 2 week stay at Casa Brava gave us the opportunity to enjoy, not only the superlative views of the Pacific, but also the architectural minimalism of one of the most distinctive houses in the area. Thank you Dale & Christopher for this memorable experience!" (guest unit)

		Seattle, WA
"Typically after a nice long relaxing vacation we look forward to coming home to our own house...until we stayed at Casa Brava. We were so spoiled by the beauty of Casa Brava it was a disappointment when we got home. The main home is perfectly designed to make you feel as though you are comfortably perched on the hilltops of beautiful Sayulita. To be honest, I was so comfortable, it was a struggle for me to make the effort to go into town to explore. Thank you Dale and Christopher for being so amazing and helpful. You are special people to be sharing your lovely home. I don't know if I could be as generous!" (main house)

"Amazing house, nicest place I have ever stayed. Now I know how McJagger lives!" (main house)

		Seattle, WA
"2 couples - all in awe from the moment we entered through the front door to the day we reluctantly left. waves of goosebumps overcame my body as I walked in the front door. if you arrive in the evening you will be stunned by the evening lights of the home and will undoubtedly wish to jump into the inviting pool as soon as you possibly can. i have never stayed in a place owned by strangers who welcomed me in the way family and friends typically do. we all agreed that we were extremely pleased with what we experienced. it was even better than what we expected. there were things that they did for us that I won't list here so as not to set expectations for others to be treated as royally as we were. suffice it to say, we were very well taken care of. Dale and Christopher are very sweet, kind, thoughtful and fun and they have this down to a science. the absolute only thing that might ever preclude me from referring people to this home is if I decide to return to Sayulita and want to make sure we get the place to ourselves again! selfish, i know. but if you stay here you'll understand." (main house)

"Where do we begin? You have a great place. Lisbeth and I were so relaxed the entire time that we were there. It was sad to leave after eight beautiful days. It was like leaving our own home. Your staff is well trained and respected our privacy. We can't wait to come back. Thank you Dale for your friendship and for helping us to find our way around the town." (guest unit)

		New York, NY
"It is rare to travel to a new place and feel instantly at home. Yet, this is how we felt. My son was thrilled that we didn't need to constantly go out exploring. Most of the time we were content to lounge in the magnificent salt water infinity pool, sit on the balconies and feast on the uninterupted view of the village and the Pacific. Thanks for the nightly lighting shows too. We will be back. " (main house)

		Carlsbad, CA
"In all of our travels Casa Brava is by far the best place we have ever stayed. The house is a unique and relaxing alternative to the standard vacation rental. Being able to come home each afternoon to cool off in the private dipping pool was great. We will be back to visit again and will recommend Casa Brava to all of our friends. Thanks for everything Christopher and Dale! " (guest unit)

		San Francisco, CA
"Wow, what a beautiful house. Staying at Casa Brava made our vacation unforgettable. The style is quite obviously beautiful - you can see that from the web site. But, when you stay at this property, you see how relaxing and functional great design can be. The best part of the house - my wife making frozen margaritas every night and watching stunning sunsets from the porch of the main house." (main house)

		Portland, OR
"What an incredible property! The house and the town are the perfect getaway for a quiet and soothing vacation. In addition, Dale and Christopher are very gracious and accomodating hosts. I would recommend Casa Brava Sayulita to anyone! See you very soon. " (main house)

		New York, NY
"It is both rare and gratifying to find, on vacation, a place such as Casa Brava and to meet people such as Dale and Chris. The house was nothing short of stunning--it was clean and comfortable and we felt immediately at home (plus, the surround-sound music, flatscreen for movies and high speed internet were very nice additions). The house was so beautiful that there were even days when we decided to skip the beach and lounge around, reading, jumping into the plunge pool to cool off, and then cooking dinner in our flawless kitchen. All in all, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Casa Brava. Our goal, on this vacation was to find a beach town with a nice house that we could feel comfortable in. Little did we know that we'd find paradise with a home that we'd like nothing more than to live in!!!! Thank you guys. It was perfect." (guest unit)

		La Crosse, WI
"Great house. You will not be disappointed with this rental. The owners even stocked the house before we arrived since we had a short stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. There's always next time." (main house)

		Seattle, WA
"We feel honored to have been among the first guests at Casa Brava, the most elegant house in sweet Sayulita. The care shows in every detail of your magnificent house, from infinity pool to transculent onyx walls. Dale and Christopher, it was a pleasure meeting you, thanks for everything, including local lore and places to hike. We are already recommending Casa Brava to friends and looking forward to our next visit." (main house)

		Oakland, Ca
"The guest unit was perfect for Amy and I, the mosquito net was a romantic and useful sleeping aid. very comfortable unit. the full kitchen was great as we like to cook. It was a wonderful welcome for there to be fruit on the counter and drinks in the frigde. thank you Dale" (guest unit)

		Fort Worth, TX
"Incredible house and fantastic views! We've been coming to Sayulita for 3 years and this is by far the most upscale rental in the area. Very nicely done and the house has everything you need. The wireless internet was a plus that allowed us to keep up with "work" as we watched the waves roll in. Dale and Christopher were extremely nice, accomodating, and provided lots of suggestions for activities and places to eat....ask about their breakfast sandwhich recommendation! Thanks guys for sharing your paradise." (main house)

		Colorado
"Fabulous house, absolutely stunning, with everything you could possibly need or want not to mention the best views in Sayulita. Dale and Christopher were very helpful with any questions about the area. Highly, highly recommend this house, will definitely go back." (main house)

		New York, NY
"Gorgeous and Amazing! Unbelievable views and unforgettable experience. The house is not only nicer in person, but also cozy, quiet, clean, and had everything. I definitly plan to return soon and have already told several people to go. I absolutly encourage a long stay, b/c you will not want to leave. Dale and Christopher thank you so much! You guys were so sweet and your staff was so great also. I hope to see you there again very soon. " (main house)

		New York, NY
"Now that I'm home freezing to death, all I can think of is the absolute perfect time that I had staying at Casa Brava. How I yearn for the warm tile throughout the spectacular architectural achievement that I had the privilege of staying in. The luxury of the home overlooking the undisturbed village and the pristine ocean is so relaxing that from the second you arrive you feel as if you have instantly left the insanity that you came from. From the hospitality of our hosts to the grandeur of the view of the ocean that I woke up to every morning one could not imagine a better vacation. The warmth of the people in the town of Sayulita and the solitude that you experience on the beaches make this trip the most relaxing vacation experiences that you will tell your family and friends about forever."
