📷Tania GarcíaThe house is much prettier than what you see in the photos. The pool is not very big, but it is perfect for groups of 8 people or less. The hammock that is outside is lovely. The house has a lot of amenities that make the stay more comfortable: from yoga mat, chess, and everything you need to cook. The bathrooms have a very nice finish, it has a terrace with a very nice view, perfect for reading or working. The neighbors are very friendly. Ari and her husband are very helpful and friendly too. Although it is not on the line beach, the access is very fast, the beach is very quiet full of birds, in the mornings you can see the surfers and some fishermen. We really enjoyed our stay, we highly recommend it. :) Stayed February 2018

📷Karla Ruiz: La Saladita es un playa tranquila y hermosa, ideal para descansar, relajarse y disfrutar, Villa los mangos es un lugar muy agradable, la casa es tal cual las fotos, con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de unos días relajantes. Noé y Ari su esposa son personas muy amables y serviciales, la comunicación con Erwing excelente también. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme en Villa los Mangos. Stayed December 2017
Stayed at VILLA DE LOS MANGOS January 2018 📷 Lovely across the board. Very quiet and spacious stylish home. SO SAFE! No locks on the doors, not needed, 3 min walk to the beach. The local friends of the house that are avail for hire (cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning) are super sweet + exceptional at what they do. A super positive Air BNB experience, thanks Erwing, Ari, your lovely mother, and Noè. Hope to see you all again! Gracias... 📷 Patrice, New York, United States Joined in 2012 · Report

- Kelly Moore - Overall PERFECT SCORE! Villa de Los Mangos far exceeded our expectations for accommodations in Saladita, Mexico. We were a group of nine friends visiting Saladita for the first time and the host (Tim) was incredibly helpful. Even before we arrived, Tim responded to countless email inquiries on everything from mosquito updates to weather forecasts. We set up meals to be made on site by his staff (highly recommended!) that were delicious and reasonably priced. Tim and the staff were available to us at all times, which made our stay easy and stress-free. The house itself is adorable and has all the amenities one would need. The A/C was a treat! The layout is comfortable and open with beautiful architecture, murals, and bright colors. The pool was a lot of fun to play in and even has a shallow section for younger kids. The kitchen comes fully stocked to prepare meals and Tim provides beach towels, some pool floats, and umbrellas for the poolside. While not directly on the beach, you can see the ocean from the patio and walk to it in less than 3 minutes. The walk to restaurants and surf board rentals was only about 8-10 minutes down the beach. Great location! Great house! Great price! Great staff! We would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning sometime soon! Stayed October 2018

Jessica Eves - Villa de los Mangos is the perfect place to stay in La Saldita whether you are coming for a surf trip or for just some rest and relaxation. Tim has created a beautiful space both inside the house and the surrounding landscape. While it may not be right on the beach, it is only a block away. You have a view of the ocean from the pool and you can watch the gorgeous sunsets from the rooftop patio. It is hands down one of the nicest homes in La Saladita. Stayed April 2018

Beautiful new home in Saladita
5/5 Stars; Stayed Apr 2018 Brendan Calgary, AB, Canada
Just steps from the beach in Saladita, this beautiful new home was perfect for my family of 6. Open layout with views of the ocean along with a great patio area and outdoor swimming pool. Staff, Noe and Ari, were fantastic and super friendly. We opted to eat our dinners at home and Ari prepared a different authentic Mexican meal for five nights.
We enjoyed hearing the sound of the waves all day and night long.
Tim, the owner, was super helpful with communication prior to our trip. He answered all of our questions and prior to arrival.
Definitely recommend this new house.
We did not rent a car but next time I would rent one to be able to venture to Los Llanos or Troncones.

The property is beautiful. Perfect location. An excellent vacation
5/5 Stars; Stayed Nov 2018 Eric P.
A brand new, immaculate home that is a very short walk down the beach to paddle out at Playa Saladita. It was my first time surfing Saladita. We had overhead waves and offshore winds every morning. The wave is fun and ridiculously long. It just goes forever. I have never been on a wave even a fourth as long as Saladita. We paddled out every afternoon as well. I never saw it blown out this week. The only limit was arm fatigue. Do some padding before you go. Long waves mean a long paddle out. There is a chennel, so you get to the lineup with your hair dry.
The property is beautiful, surrounded by mature mango trees and palms. We loved the pool. Tim, the owner really made our trip so special. He arranged for a great cook to prepare our meals. We had tons of fresh fruit, traditional Mexican cooking seved on the patio to take in the beautiful tropical sunsets over the ocean. Our first night we ate at Lourdes Restaurant and it really couldn’t come close to the quality that we had made for us at the house.
The property is very quiet and secure.
Inside the home is beautiful as well. Beautiful artwork and woodwork everywhere. The internet was faster than our home. Had to turn down the air conditioner in the bedroom because it worked so well.
We have rented many beach houses for surf trips in Mexico, Nicaraugua and Costa Rica and never had a home so dialed in.
Don’t miss Pazole on Thursday night in Buena Vista. Also a boat or road trip up to surf the Ranch were highlights for us.
Thank you Tim. I am so jealous of your lifestyle in paradise

Beautiful home and pool near beach!
5/5 Stars; Stayed Dec 2018 Lisa M. Arcata, CA
This is a lovely place to stay. The owner, Tim, is very responsive to guests and very accommodating. His support staff, Ari and Noe, are also very helpful. Ari is an amazing cook--do not hesitate to hire her to cook your dinners! She and Noe shop for all the ingredients and make the food right there in the home, very unobtrusively. Her meals are creative and delicious, as well as very affordable. The home is comfortablr and spacious and the pool is very refreshing, especially after a day at the beach and in the salty ocean. Enjoy!

Here’s what Nicole wrote “We had a fantastic stay at Villa de Los Mangos. Ari and Noe are incredible caretakers and cooks. We opted to have them make several meals for us and they were all absolutely mouth-watering, particularly Noe's grilled fish and freshly-made agua fresca (treat yourself to the Jamaica flavor!) They were so thoughtful in the details, ensuring that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, even setting up tables for dinner al fresco when they could see that we were enjoying the sunset. They are both so nice and welcoming, just wonderful people. The house is great, with a lovely pool that is the perfect temperature for cooling off after basking in the sun. We took advantage of the binoculars in the villa to observe all the beautiful tropical birds and iguanas, a real highlight for us. Tim is responsive and helpful, ensuring that everything goes smoothly. Villa de los Mangos is a real treat — we did not want to go home!” Stayed 2/27 to 3/2/19

De Nize Hunt recommends Villa de Los Mangos at Playa La Saladita: "Typing this as we are enjoying our morning coffee listening to the birds sing and waves break. Tim the owner extremely on point with communication prior to traveling, great tips & directions to his beautiful home. The house is one row back from the ocean which you can see from the property. The property is very well maintained with gorgeous touches throughout, beautiful wood finishes, tropical surroundings, outdoor bar/bbq, pool, spa and a spacious palapa for shade. Both bedrooms very spacious and decorated super cute the master has an on-suite and second bedroom does not but there is a very nice bathroom just steps away both have large showers. The second level has an open sleeping concept 3 beds super spacious, there are only 3 of us so de didn’t use that area of the home. Above the second level there is a large patio overlooking the entire area. Ari & Noe an adorable couple will cook all your meals if desired for a very reasonable cost which we took advantage of, fajitas one night with salsa fresca, guacamole etc. day two grilled fish and steak all really good plus after a long day of surfing it was a treat to have them cook for us. The house has all the kitchen needs and they have water on site, plenty of beach towels and a washer and dryer if needed. Both bedrooms have air conditioning yay! Tip- we started the air & closed the bedroom doors about 30 minutes prior to going to sleep. Funny, we brought backgammon with us and of course Tim had a set in the house along with other games. Tim has his own cabana at the rear of the property if you have questions FYI. There are a couple of bars about a 10 minute walk from the house and a great surf spot at Lordes cafe, great food, beverages and WiFi you can hang there all day enjoy the waves. Total throwback and it’s awesome. You can also drive there about 5 minutes and there is a place to rent boards if needed. Additionally, we stopped at the Mega market and picked up plenty of barley soda’s, tequila and other snacks, there are two refrigerators and it kept our beer nice and cold 👍. Well, I think I’ve said it all and hope this review was helpful. D. Hunt" Stayed 3/18 to 3/21/19

Best stay!! The house was gorgeous. Slept our big group very comfortably. House is way more spacious and airy than the pictures show. Huge common area, great kitchen. Tim is an amazingly kind person and surfer! Ari and Noe cleaned the house daily and cooked us an amazing dinner. Erwing was chief logistics officer and helped our group with everything from pickup from airport to transport to local chicken lunch lady - so convenient that we didn’t even have to rent a car. Pool is awesome and very relaxing after surf sessions. Highly recommend, we’ll be back!!! - Maya stayed 3/27 to 4/3/19

Villa de los Mangos is by far the best place to stay in Saladita. While some vacation rentals in Mexico have an aura of abandonment and decay, everything at Villa de los Mangos is in good working order, clearly designed for your comfort and luxury. It really feels like home, and is well-maintained with beautiful decorative touches. There is a hand-painted mural on one wall and a lot of artwork from local artists. The house is clean, comfortable, cool and airy, with beautiful woodwork and tiling. There are lush plants and flowers all over the yard, soft green grass, and even a fish pond. We loved ending each day watching the sunset from the open air rooftop deck. The backyard is full of Ataulfo mango trees, my favorite kind: a large yellow variety of mango with a sweet buttery texture and no strings! The staff, Ari and Noe, are extremely welcoming and cater to your every need. They cook meals from scratch for a small fee, and it is definitely worth it. The handmade tortillas and homemade salsa are to die for! Aloe Driscoll (stayed 4/3 to 4/6/19)

Here’s what Angela wrote “Villa Los Mangos was perfect!! Every detail of the house was astonishing. We were welcomed by Ari and Noe and we immediately felt at home. Our stay wouldn’t have been the same without them. Tim is a great host because we kept in continuous contact. We felt safe knowing he was close by in case anything happened. We have been to La Saladita several times but our experience was different thanks to the hospitality of Villa Los Mangos.” Stayed 4/19 to 4/22/19
Great experience - 5/5 stars We had a great week. Just have to echo what others have said super positive. Tim was onsite during our stay and super available but not intrusive and a great host all around. I got to surf w/ him a couple of mornings once I started going out at first light :) The property is super relaxing, chill, quiet, and well done all around. We did not use the loft (our fam of 4 used the two ac rooms w/ kids going to bed before adults) - but for the right group would be great. The property is not "on the ocean" it is one level back and is ~10 min walk to the main paddle out spot and you can't really see the break from the property fyi -- which for us was a perfectly fine trade-off to have a great and comfortable property where we could chill/read/swim/relax (and work parents were on "workation") when not at friends places at the point or out in the water. We had a couple of dinners cooked/prepped with Ari and Noe they are awesome. So yeah like others have said a great, newer property with amazing host. It is more expensive than some other (IMO not as nice) spots, and the location is quiet but not on the break. Awesome spot well done Tim and thank you we are stoked to come back! Andy and his family stayed 4/6 to 4/13/19

We just returned from a fantastic trip to Saladita staying at Villa de Los Mangos! The property is fantastic and so is the house! The house is very comfortable with fun colors, great art, a mural with a story of its own, comfy beds, nice baths, fully stocked kitchen and a Mango shaped swimming pool where I spent the majority of my time! Tim is a fantastic host and Ari and Noe made us some incredible dinners such as Chicken Mole and Fresh Garlic Shrimp. The location is also fantastic for beach walks, beach restaurants, and surfing! I have spent my entire life traveling in Mexico and this is by far the best location I have ever visited and easily the best house in Saladita! Plus it was mango season so we were all mangoholics! I can’t wait to go back so brace yourselves, Tim, Ari, and Noe I’m planning 2-3 trips a year! Marty stayed with 2 other adults and two teenage boys 4/26 to 5/3/19

Villa de los Mangoes
Just returned from a fantastic week at Villa de Los Mangos, and already want to go back.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Ari and Noe, who take care of the home and guests as needed.
For our group of one couple, one single adult, and two teenagers, the Villa had plenty of space and privacy. The home has high ceilings and is airy, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well appointed and modern, great to cook meals, although we hired Ari and Noe to cook a few dinners of authentic, delicious Mexican food for a nominal cost - highly recommend this!
We spent lots of time in and around the mango shaped pool, which is deep enough to enjoy properly, as well as the beach, which is only a few steps away via the public access nearby. In case one wants a nap, a hammock is outside under a large palapa, complete with a fan above. There’s also a private deck on the roof with ocean and mountain views. The grounds are filled with colorful flowers and mango trees - such a lush oasis it was hard to leave.
This elegant home is recently built and had everything we wanted. We will definitely return! Written by Nancy who stayed 4/26 to 5/3/19

Incredible, beautiful house in paradise- Stayed Jun 2019 Blake B. - 5 stars This place is amazing. We had a fantastic week. The house features a patio with a bar, hammock under a gazebo, and a deep pool. The landscaping all around the property is immaculate. The covered rooftop is a great place to sit and watch the sunset over the ocean. Inside, there are two air conditioned bedrooms. There is a loft area with 3 small beds and room for additional air mattresses (which Tim will provide for you) if needed. There is no air conditioning outside of the two bedrooms, but there are electric fans provided and, if you leave the doors open, the sea breeze flows through the screens and keeps the house at a comfortable temperature. If you are coming to surf, the main break of La Saladita is about a 5 minute walk down the beach. There are plenty of board rental shops along the beach. Everyone is very nice and laid back. You can leave your board at the shop when you are done with in then grab it again the next morning so that you don't have to carry it all the way back to the house. They also will let you switch out boards whenever you like if you want to change things up. Tim (owner) is very accommodating and is great about responding promptly to any questions or requests you may have. Maybe the best part of this property, though, is Tim's property staff, Noe and Ari. They are seriously the nicest people that I have ever met. They will come every day and keep the house meticulously clean. They are also AMAZING cooks, and will prepare food for you (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) if you desire. I highly recommend that you do so. Everything that they cooked for us was delicious. They charged us 100 pesos per person for preparation, plus cost of the food, so in total it is about $10 USD per person for dinner depending on what they cook. You can't beat that. The owner is strict about the night time noise policy, so if you plan on partying, that is something to keep in mind. Overall, we had an amazing vacation and I could not recommend this place more highly. Published Jun 22, 2019

5/5 Stars Beautiful Home Close to Surf This home is a wonderful vacation experience with a quick walk to the surf. Everything is as described. There are 2 rooms that have good AC which made sleeping possible. Plenty of shade outside and the rooftop area receives needed breezes for the afternoon. The best surprise of the place was the cooking provided by Noe and Ar - a husband/wife team that made every dinner (extra $s) for our family of 4. The food was outstanding. Garlic Shrimp, Marlin, Beef Fajitas, Aqua Frescas made fresh every day/night. Everything was made fresh and was delicious. The owner, Tim, was staying most nights in a casita out back and was available to sort anything out. Tim suggested board rentals from Sergio's on the beach which turned out to be a great suggestion as Sergio had a great selection of quality long boards. I'm already thinking of when I can return! I would stay here again. 08/04/2019 at 5:21 PM

Stayed at VILLA DE LOS MANGOSAugust 2019 5/5 stars - We stayed at Villa De Los Mango in August 2019 with our 5 kids (13, 10, 7, 7, and 18 months). Upon our arrival we metTim the owner/host and his staff Ari and Noe. Tim stays on the property in a separate dwelling, but it is a large parcel so there is plenty of privacy. Tim is mellow, hospitable, and gives you plenty of space. It's like having a cool neighbor to chat with in the driveway that gives you tips on local knowledge. He even child proofed his entire house prior to our arrival including building a wooden child gate to block the spiral staircase (talk about service!!!). The house is Tim's personal residence when he is not renting it so it is immaculate and really stylish. All of the comforts of modern living are available. The two bedrooms have air conditioning but it is not needed. The house has screens on all of the windows and doors with very good air circulation. There is a gap in the homes on the seaward side of the house so a nice sea breeze comes in daily. We had just spent the previous week in Michoacan with no A.C. where it was very hot and soooo many mosquitoes. It was a refreshing change of pace arriving at Villa De Los Mangos where it was cooler and way less bugs. There is a loft area with three beds with a summer camp vibe that the older kids enjoyed to sleep in. A local couple Ari and Noe provided us with in house services such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, and other miscellaneous needs. I can't say enough about the level of service they provided. We stayed at The Thompson while in Zihuatanejo and Noe and Ari rival their 5 star service. They would prepare home cooked meals with a Mexican flair that even my picky kids cleaned their plates. Noe would prepare fresh juices for each meal that were very refreshing. They were pretty mellow too and easy to interact with. In summary it was a perfect home for a young family to enjoy while staying in La Saladita. The paddle out spot was a 10 minute walk from the house and there are plenty of surfboards available for rent. Its close enough to walk but far enough away from the hustle and bustle at the surf spot. It was an excellent stop on our family surf vacation and we would definitely stay there again.

5/5*** AMAZING HOME AND PROPERTY ***This house is gorgeous! We've stayed at many homes in Saladita, this one is the cleanest and nicest there is. The house feels very big with huge vaulted great room, super cool spiral staircase. We had 10 of us and felt very comfortable. The pool is great and has a huge covered patio area. Owner Tim was very welcoming and helpful, gave us advice on a lot of things. Caretakers Noe and Ari made the best food! We loved that house is super close to the point (about 5 min walk on the beach). This is our new "go to" house to stay at Saladita!10/23/2019 at 3:43 AM

Here’s what Christine wrote (stayed 11/19 to 11/27/19)
“Villa de los Mangos is the perfect location for a private getaway at the lovely Saladita surf break. Property: Steps from the beach, it is surrounded by lush greenery to provide privacy as you enjoy the open air patio, pool deck, and hammock. Quiet location with the ocean waves as the soundtrack to your stay. The large screened in spaces bring the breezes inside and offer views of the property, keeping things cool enough to not need the air conditioning. Fans throughout. Sunset ocean views from the rooftop patio. The beds were very comfortable, plumbing reliable, huge refrigerator and separate freezer. Felt very safe at all times. Quiet neighborhood. Hospitality: Tim was an excellent host, in close communication during planning, offering assistance and recommendations ahead of our trip, and highly responsive during our visit. He went out of his way to make sure our needs were met. Having him on property gave us reassurance that any concerns would be tended to (although they were few)! His recommendations were appreciated. Ari and Noe provided housekeeping on a schedule that we requested. They proactively provided assistance to make sure we all were comfortable. They personally provided some requests with their local access to items. Simply lovely couple to help make our stay enjoyable. Amenities: The WiFi supported 9 guests without a hitch. The pool was perfect to relax in or refresh with beverages in hand or under the stars. The local coffee provided was a treat! Plenty of plush beach towels and bath linens. Soap and paper products well stocked and fresh water always available and plentiful. Our group of 9 adults was at the edge of capacity, but it was a fantastic choice for us. We would absolutely recommend it and consider a return!”
