Casa Happy Paws

Casa Happy Paws is a seven-suite oceanfront estate set along the storied Ranchos Estates within the gated Punta Mita resort community, where 16 adults and two children can spread out across a main residence and a separate guesthouse linked by tropical gardens and stone pathways. The property opens through a striking open-air central palapa — a soaring thatched-roof social hub with a full bar, plush lounge seating, and unobstructed ocean breezes — that flows seamlessly from the entrance to the panoramic pool terrace and the main guest suites beyond. Pacific sunsets, manicured lawn, and the soft cadence of the surf set the tone the moment guests arrive.

The main house centers on a living sanctuary where retractable glass walls dissolve the line between indoors and the oceanfront lawn, opening to direct beach access just steps away. A professional show kitchen overlooks the living area, supported by a separate staff kitchen for effortless service, while a fully enclosed, air-conditioned formal dining room seats fourteen. The Master Suite commands sweeping ocean views with a private TV lounge, double-vanity bathroom with soaking tub and dual-head shower, and its own terrace anchored by a private plunge pool. Three additional ocean- and garden-view suites sit within the main house, each appointed with double vanities, Toto smart toilets, and the signature combination of indoor and outdoor showers.

A separate guesthouse holds four more suites organized for family flexibility, including two mirrored ground-floor rooms with a king plus an additional single bed each — ideal for parents with a young child — and two upstairs suites configured with twin queens and custom queen-over-single bunk beds that comfortably absorb cousins, friends, or a multi-generational group. Wellness is a defining pillar at Casa Happy Paws: a dedicated spa cabin opens to garden views, with sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, and a full bath. The adjacent climate-controlled fitness studio, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, is outfitted with a treadmill, rower, squat rack, and free weights, while a private cinema on the lower level offers tiered sectional seating for eight and a 170-inch Da-Lite screen in a fully acoustically treated room. A games room rounds it out with a two-lane bowling alley, pool table, poker table, and a full bar with dual televisions.

Outside, a panoramic infinity pool curves along the coastline with a built-in jacuzzi and shallow sun shelf, while a dedicated 20-meter lap pool offers a quieter aquatic retreat framed by stone pathways and tropical greenery. The rooftop Sky Terrace, crowned by a central stone fire pit and plush seating, becomes the natural gathering point as the sun drops over the Pacific. A full kitchen and waiter team, daily housekeeping, house manager, and concierge are on hand throughout the stay, and the resort setting unlocks optional access to Punta Mita’s celebrated beach clubs — Pacifico, Kupuri, Surf Club, Sufi Ocean Club, and Bahía — alongside the Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses, the racquet club, and Punta Mita Ocean Sports. Sayulita, San Pancho, and Puerto Vallarta International Airport sit within easy reach, making Casa Happy Paws as effortlessly connected as it is privately removed.
