    Description

    My name is Sheila and I'm a writer and artist currently living in between Chicago and the beautiful beach town of San Pancho, Mexico. I've been working on my house little by little for over ten years, it is an ongoing project that me and my family have put a lot of love into and we've done a big part of it on our own!
    Recently I've had to spend more time in Chicago and I would love a helping hand to improve the house for renting it.

    The town of San Pancho is a lovely surf town in the pacific coast, and even though it's small it has a lot to offer, such as a kids circus school, cultural festivals, restaurants, bars, a luscious jungle, and of course the beautiful beach.

    Our house is only about 15 minutes walking from the beach and 5 minutes from the entrance of the jungle.
