The pool, which is perfect for young children, even infants, is also comfortable for adults. There is plenty of space for conversation, games, jumping, and splashing.

A Brief History of our experience of San Pancho-
In 2000 San Francisco was a precious little fishing village with about 4000 Mexican citizens, most of whom had lived here for generations in relatively modest homes “in town.” It also had approximately 250 expats. All homes were built in “the old style,” which required lots of laborers and masons and stone workers, carpenters and iron workers, artists and painters.
In 2006 when we (Melissa and Bill) arrived, San Pancho still had about 4000 Mexicans and 250 expats. It also had one hotel, five restaurants, no internet, few houses for sale, and lots of parking spaces. In less than a week, we fell in love with the village. So, we bought land and began to design and build a home for our family – in “the old style.” It took three years.
Sometime in 2007 the area north of Puerto Vallarta was declared an Economic Development Zone and re-named the Riviera Nayarit. (The first EDZ was the Maya Riviera, extending south from Cancun). Economic Development Zones are advertised as a place for developers to come and invest. Eventually developers did come, bought property, and began to build, but in “a new style.”
The difference between the old style and the new was dramatized to me (William) one day. When “our men” were adding finishing touches to our home, we drove into town and for the first time, we saw a cement truck and a pumper blocking the road. They were pouring concrete for a house or hotel, a condo or apartment complex that would soon be completed and ready in a matter of months to bring the ROI (return on investment), that made San Pancho attractive to investors. Before long, our precious little fishing village became a bustling beach town. What does this history lesson mean for you as you consider where to rent?
Well, if you mostly want to go to the beach during the day and relish the nightlife in the evening– and do so for a super cheap price, and experience a cramped, pressured, loud version of San Pancho – it makes little sense to consider renting our home.
On the other hand, if you wonder what it might be like to stay in a gracious, expansive Mexican villa that was built in “the old style,” check us out. The Villa de Vistas is a home, built with love and care, with art, tile, and crafts sourced from all over Mexico.
San Pancho might be divided into three areas.
- The bustling “downtown.”
- The more sedate residential area of Costa Azul
- The Jungle Road
The Villa de Vista is located at the beginning of the Jungle Road. We delight in sharing this remarkable home. Many guests report that they can feel the love that went into it – from our workers, our craftsmen, and our family – and also from our staff that has kept our home looking like new. It has been a labor of love.
We hope you will rent from us. And CELEBRATE LIFE.

A note from Melissa and Bill Roberts:
We have lived most of our adult life in Middletown, Connecticut, where Melissa was a school social worker and Bill was a clergyman for the first half of his career and a consultant for the second half. In 1979 we built a home on Cape Cod for our family -- we have three sons.
The Cape House was very important to our family, but as the boys grew up, moved away and had children of their own, we decided to sell that house and build a three-home complex in San Pancho to accommodate our expanded family as well as friends and other guests.

Why they chose this property
In 2006 two of our sons went on a surfing-scouting trip to the west coast of Mexico, found their way to San Pancho, and immediately fell in love with the town and the beach. A month later we rearranged some travel plans and went to check it out for ourselves. Well, we also loved the place.
We felt welcomed to the town. The Americans and Canadians we met seemed to respect the culture and value their relationships with the residents whose families, in some cases, had lived in San Pancho for over a hundred years. It seemed that this would be an ideal place to build a home for generations of our family.
We purchased this particular property with the hope, just the hope, that we might have a pretty good view of the ocean. As the construction progressed it became clearer and clearer that we would have not only 'a pretty good view,' but SPECTACULAR VIEWS of the ocean, the beach, the town (San Pancho), Sayulita in the distance, and, equally fantastic views of the jungle....from many different locations in LA CASA. Although we originally called our home La Casa que Canta, because it seemed to sing with the profundo of the ocean surf, the rustling of the palm leaves, and the chirping of the birds, we have renamed it the VILLA DE VISTAS -- the Villa of Views.
As you will see the property presented some challenges since it goes sharply downhill, but Melissa (with partial assistance from three different architects) was able to change those challenges into opportunities, which allows us to have three separate homes in very close proximity to one another. Yet each affords privacy.

What makes this property unique
The unique benefit of renting the entire villa is that you have a lot of space in a secluded, secure, quiet setting.....with comfortably large areas, places for intimate conversations with just a few people and places suitable just to rest and relax by yourself.
The pool, which has become the primary gathering place, is designed so children of all ages -- from infants to grandparents -- can feel safe as they play together. Infants can sit in a few inches of water and splash away. Toddlers play on the in-pool benches. Older kids can jump in the pool from the ledge if they are feeling brave. Adults can feel assured that their children are safe. The pool temperature is adjustable to be comfortable year round.
