About this property

VILLA ESTRELLA del Mar--CASA ZIH 3: A Panoramic Vista overlooking Playa la Ropa

Ideally located hillside just above beautiful Playa la Ropa which is only a 5 minute walk away, Villa Estrella del Mar - Casa Zih 3 offers spectacular views of Zihuatanejo Bay and the surrounding area from every room. This amazing 2 bedroom, 3 bath condominium with den and gourmet kitchen occupies the entire third floor of a small six unit complex. It is both well-appointed and spacious with over 2300 square feet of living space accessible by elevator or stairs. It is a stunning property in every regard!

Villa Estrella del Mar – Casa Zih 3 is situated in a beautiful complex that was designed with privacy and tranquility in mind. Each unit is staggered to provide seamless views from sea to sky. Whether relaxing in the comfort of the unit or at the “best infinity pool in Zihua,” the sights and sounds of the sea are all around. You will enjoy the pleasure of hearing and seeing the waves breaking onto the visible golden sand beach below where countless coconut palms sway with the ocean breeze, the glistening sun on the water, and the romantic sunsets across the bay.

Two en suite bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the living area which is served by a third full bathroom. The beds are very comfortable featuring high-quality cotton linens. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with stainless side-by-side refrigerator, five burner gas stove, built-in oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler/fridge, Keurig coffee brewing system, and a Nespresso Pixie. The kitchen also features granite countertops including a large serving peninsula, a wide array of cooking and serving utensils, a cookbook library, place settings, tableware, and a large selection of specific beverage glassware. A small outdoor gas grill is available to use as well. In addition to a quiet and secluded environment, it is also a perfect place for entertaining as well!

The utility room includes a front-load washer and gas dryer for guest use and a stock of cleaning supplies if needed.

A series of sliding glass accordion doors open the entire condo to the outdoors providing a tranquil breeze along with spectacular panoramic ocean views. Mini-split air conditioners are in all main living areas with ceiling fans throughout the condo. It also includes a CD Stereo System with controllable built-in ceiling speakers and a CD library providing a variety of music choices. The den features a 46" television with access to Netflix and other features as well as a DVD Blue-Ray player with a small selection of DVDs. A small permanent library of books is available to enjoy during your stay.

The Casa Zih complex features a monitored water purification system and excellent sanitation systems. Guests enter the property through a gated entrance by security code. All of the common areas are beautifully landscaped, including the infinity pool area, which features lounge chairs, umbrellas, an outdoor sand shower, plus a bathroom for your convenience.

Set-rate airport pickup services are available for guests and the transportation service will normally be happy to stop at the Mega Soriana (grocery store) on the way to the condo for guests to pick up food supplies, if desired. Villa Estrella del Mar – Casa Zih 3 offers guests the on-demand service of a trusted bilingual taxi service that can provide drop-offs and pickups as needed and can arrange day trips as well. A traditional home chef is sometimes available to shop and prepare delicious meals in the privacy of the condo. Maid service is provided multiple times weekly for all condo guests as well.

The quaint yet vibrant downtown area of Zihuatanejo (El Centro) is just minutes away from the property either by walking or by taxi. A fifteen to twenty minute walk (or five minute taxi ride) opens the door to exploring one of the most charming and friendly settings one can imagine. Downtown Zihuatanejo is an authentic fishing village with a relaxed atmosphere coupled with an eclectic vibe. There are many events and activities at the main square/municipal basketball court. Restaurants are everywhere in El Centro as well as endless shops and varied markets, including the authentic Central Mercado. The Malecon (the beautiful updated oceanfront walkway) has recently been extended from beyond Playa Madera all the way to Playa Principal featuring memorable scenery and numerous oceanfront restaurants. The fisherman's walk on Playa Principal is where the fishermen bring in the "catch of the day" offered fresh for sale. The pier offers water taxi service to Las Gatas Beach across the bay, with still more restaurants, a clear water reef suitable for snorkeling, and an isolated and beautiful setting for relaxation and abundant sunshine.

The condo itself offers splendid access to the favored and very clean mile-long golden sand beach, Playa la Ropa. The waves are generally mild and many activities can be found on the beachfront including sunning, swimming and splashing in the water, jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking, boogieboarding, tubing, sailing, and, of course, eating and drinking at the many great restaurants on La Ropa.

Finally, for those who love a good game of golf, the Ixtapa Campo de Golf Palma Real golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones is just a fifteen minute taxi ride away.

And the list goes on... cooking classes, tequila tasting, wine bars, salsa dancing, theatres, museums, tours... Come for a visit and experience just how special a true tropical vacation can be in Zihuatanejo, Mexico! Zihua has it all!

Casa Zih 3
We're still enjoying the after glow of your condo. It was perfect. We made delicious meals in the spacious kitchen and enjoyed meals out at the near by restaurants. The swimming pool was especially nice day and night. And the view was stunning. The condo was so comfortable and the beds were just like home. We loved the location and the fact that the complex had only 6 units. Perfection! Will return again.

Great property that is well equipped. Had an issue with the refrigerator (which was odd because all of the appliances are new and nice quality) but Filberto purchased and delivered a small fridge to get us through our trip. I had previously booked right when COVID hit the world and was forced to cancel. Jon and Deborah made it easy and we’re understanding. I will be back, thank you for a great trip.

Great condo!
We spent an excellent week at this condo. The apartment is beautiful, has amazing views of Zihuatanejo bat and is wonderfully decorated. It is also very well equipped. It is a quick 5-8 minute walk to La Ropa beach. The pool is great and we had it to ourselves most of the time. We highly recommend this property. We had a great time.

Pure Enjoyment
Casa Zi is our go to get-away spot in Mexico. We've stayed there several times in different units. Although my husband and I often traveling alone, we have tented the 3rd (Casa Zi #3) floor unit twice. It's much bigger than we need, but it is so comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. We are active and walk everywhere and it's in a convenient location above La Ropa and about a 20 minute walk to town. If we were in a hurry, we grabbed a cab. If we needed anything, there is management on site during the day and just a phone call after hours. However, we only needed it once when the ice machine was not working; it was a quick fix. Besides the pool, my husband's favorite was the the large bedroom with a connected deck. He loved to use the space to meditate. We do cook on vacation, and everything we needed they had in their well stocked kitchen. For an extra special treat we had a masseuse come to our casa. She was so amazing that she we had her come back. Of course we'll return. About the town; we've been traveling on a regular basis to Zihuat for over 20 years and since 2018, we've noticed a huge improvement throughout. The beaches were much cleaner, there were more clean public bathrooms and a noticeable restoration to several different districts throughout the city. We traveled during covid and they seemed to take it more seriously than the US. We also feel safer there than we do with the crime in our State and around the US,

About the host

Hosted by Deborah and Jon Loessin

Host profile image
We are both Texas natives but love to travel and experience the world and its people and cultures. With our four adult children (and eight grandchildren) living their own lives, and our work careers drawing to a close, we wanted to buy a property for a retreat for us and for family to use as possible. When we are not in Zihuatanejo, we want to welcome all our guests to experience what we found in Casa Zih. It is truly an amazing place!

Why they chose this property

After visiting Zihuatanejo several times over several years, we fell in love with the town, the area, and the people. We began to toy with the idea of purchasing a property and came across Casa Zih 3 with no idea how we might make our wish a reality. To make a long story short, we made it happen and are today the owners of Casa Zih 3 and hope all of our guests enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We looked at four properties before seeing Casa Zih 3, and we just knew this was the place we wanted to be. It is magical! The views and the well-being they produce are truly phenomenal and there was never any doubt this was our special place. Where else could we have found a place that was walking distance to Playa La Ropa, Playa Madera, to El Centro, and even Playa Las Gatas? It is in an amazing location and if you like leisurely walks, a perfect location!
