Casa Cangrejo y Toro

Amazing House in an amazing place. Everything just perfect. Richard (the owner) makes it very easy to relax in the best place imaginable... fishing, whale watching, horse riding, surfing, relax...

We were looking to escape the hustle of NYC, And we did! Richard and Nancy have carved out a slice of paradise, worth the few extra miles to arrive. Walking distance to a few great lunch spots or have Paloma cook you up to anything you desire. Well-appointed, quiet, delicious food. We can accommodate a larger group, but we relished in taking the entire place for ourselves. Heaven

Our Stay in Cangrejo y Toro was just perfect! O more than perfect! We discovered the house just walking on the beach, and just came in, where Paloma and Marcos showed us the villas, and we liked it so much that we decided to get married and celebrate it there! We contacted Richard, and everything was great, we rented the house for 5 days, and we did our wedding on of the days. We could never think of anything better. The sunset, the garden, the beachfront, the swimming pool, the main palapa, the other palapas, everything worked out perfectly. The decoration is amazing, and the privacy of each room just incredible. I would recommend it for sure if you want to spend a few days in paradise, but a very exclusive and private paradise! Thanks, Ricarhs and Nancy, for your hospitality and also thanks to Paloma and Marcos!

If you’re like us, you dream about an exotic getaway at the edge of the ocean, a spot that’s private enough so you can be alone, but still close enough to an unspoiled village where you can try the local eateries and, if you want, paddle around a lagoon or hike in the hills. In Cangrejo y Toro, your hosts Richard Siegler and Nancy Winarick have designed the perfect vacation refuge. Both are renowned artists, and each of the small numbers of discrete villas reflects their impeccable sense of design and comfort. The west-facing property opens to the rolling, breaking waves of Mexico’s Pacific coastline. Surrounded by native plantings, an invisible salt-water pool seems to disappear into the shallow surf. Visitors gather on a handful of beach couches in the early evening as the sun goes down and bathes the mountains behind them in the fiery-red hues of winter sunsets. Superb Mexican cooks produce evening meals of fresh-caught seafood and organic produce obtained daily from local fishers and farmers. You can custom design your stay. You may want to explore Troncones and the smaller villages in the area, or you may decide you don’t want to leave this setting. The painters Julian Schnabel and Damien Hirst chose this coastline to be close to nature and surrounded by beauty, and we can’t wait to come back.

Perfect location for taking in the beach activities (surfing, fishing, whale watching, SUP, hiking) or simply relaxing on the gorgeous property. The accommodations are stunning, the feel is very Aman resort, and Richard is the consummate host. Very laid back vibe. However, the best meals in the area are made by Paloma, good local restaurants, the cook on the property. You will want to stay forever. Highly recommend.
