About this villa rental

Welcome to Casa Tijera!

This elegant 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom private retreat sits on a high bluff with sweeping views of Mexico's Pacific Coast. Each bedroom has a king-sized bed and a private en suite bathroom with an outdoor shower. There are multiple outdoor patios and a courtyard for dining and scrabble. The cliffside swimming pool provides unforgettable views of the Pacific!

The house is secluded and remote, nestled among fruit trees and the natural beauty of the Pacific Coast. There is one a small, quiet beach that is a 15 minute walk down-hill from the house, which provides excellent snorkeling.

To get to Casa Tijera, you must drive approx. 20-25 min from the main road/highway that runs between Pochutla and Huatulco. If driving, coastal towns and beaches such as Puerto Angel, Zipolite, Mazunte are approx 45 mins to 70 mins away by car. This house is a perfect destination for an adventurous group of friends seeking a quiet and private get-away from LCD screens and the hustle-and-bustle of the modern world. Cell phone service on the property is spotty, and this is not a recommended destination for those who require 24/7 digital access.

This sustainably-constructed house is 'off the grid' and powered by solar energy. Although the system is perfectly sufficient for basic energy needs, please leave the blow-dryer behind :).

Everything was amazing at the house. The views were spectacular and the staff was great. We had delicious food prepared for us every day which was well worth the drive off the main road. I would definitely come again!

Loved this incredible and unique property. It is a bit remote, and that makes it all the more appealing for the more adventurous traveler. The dirt road to the house is actually in very good shape. Beautiful, comfortable, and we were well taken care of by Gaby and Melena. Gaby helped us with any requests, went for groceries as needed, and his lovely wife Malena made us breakfast each morning and prepped whatever food we wanted for the day or dinner. Wish we knew more Spanish so our communication could have been more in depth, but we managed! The bedrooms are screened in, the showers are open to the sky, and the rest of the house is open to the nature. Loved everything about this house!!!

Amazing views and hospitality
Amazing views and hospitality
We just returned from 10 days at Casa Tijera and could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. We were four adults and four children - and every one of us agreed that it was the perfect vacation spot. Remote, peaceful and with a blanket of stars at night like you have never seen. Gaby and Elodia were so accommodating and the meals Elodia prepared were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed lounging and reading by the pool and soaking up the beautiful coastal views. Not having wifi turned out to be a great way to disconnect and really relax. We took water taxis to Playa Boquilla and Estacahuite (great snorkeling), went fishing, saw whales and sea turtles. (Elodia was even kind enough to prepare us an amazing dinner with our catch at the end of the day.) It helped to have a Spanish speaker with us who was fluent - but I am sure we would have managed regardless. The only drawback to the house is the long drive up the dirt road - it does not make coming and going by car easy. That being said - if that is the price you have to pay for a spectacular home on a cliff without neighbors - it's worth it. Casa Tijera is a great spot for anyone with an adventurous spirit looking to get away from it all. We'd love to go back!

A truly special place to escape from the world and regenerate
A truly special place to escape from the world and regenerate
Playa Tijera was simply magical. It is hard to express how much we enjoyed our time staying here. It is truly remote and you feel removed from the world when you are there. It now holds a special place in our hearts and we are already planning trips back. We drove in from Oaxaca City and had a pretty strenuous 6-hour drive through aggressive mountains - do not attempt this if you have any motion sickness. I think we will fly in the future :) Upon arriving, Elodia had prepared a meal and Gaby met us at the road to escort us in. Our rental company did not have the jeep we reserved and we wound up in a low riding car, which was a rough ride in. Once we arrived, we didn't want to leave. Luckily, we didn't have to. Gaby made daily runs to the market for us and made our lives extremely easy. Over the next few days, we fell in love with Eloida, his mother, who cooked and taught us her classic recipes. We are a group of chefs and were so grateful for her authentic and flavorful cooking. Gaby arranged a boat to take us to nearby beaches. A highlight was surfing at St. Augusten beach, but it was fun to see the different vibe at all the other beaches nearby. Our general consensus was that we had no interest staying anywhere other than Tijera. It is the perfect place to cook, read, play games, and relax. No tv, no internet, no need for make-up or hair-dryers - a true getaway. The majority of the home is open to the outside so there are many ants who make it in and rodents will find their way into the kitchen if food is not put away. I am willing to trade that any day for an open-air bathroom that overlooks the ocean, but something to be aware of. There was one morning where our power went out but Gaby was quick to react and get it back on. It was a lovely comfort to have them living close by and they filtered in and out to check in on us in a comfortable and respectful way. They truly made our experience a special one. My only criticism - the photos don't do it justice. The property is stunning, views are incredible, and there are multiple nooks and spaces to relax, spread out, and enjoy. Take a few friends who you can have fun yet be quiet with and enjoy life for a few days. The trip is completely worth it.

I loved the place: exactly as described. The surprise was realizing the distances: it is 25 minutes of dirt road and then at least the same to get to the beach. We preferred to drive than organize a water taxi as we like our independence. Water taxis will be much faster. The beaches at Bahia De Luna and Zipolite are both wonderful in their own style and very much worth the drive. I liked the tranquility of the house, no humming sound as it is completely solar with no A.C.. It is a special place. The caretaker Gaby is indeed very helpful and so is Helodia.
