We had the best trip exploring Zihuatanejo and enjoying relaxing by the pool at the house. Friendly service and very well taken care of.

We (family of 4 with 10yo and 13yo) were blown away as soon as we entered the home! The view from every space is fantastic and the house is well appointed with local art. We spent the majority of our time in the open air kitchen/dining/lounge/pool enjoying the sunshine and sunsets, but the bedrooms are great too! Jacquie was incredibly responsive, booked our airport transport and a fishing trip. Lili was incredibly sweet and even washed/folded our laundry each visit (I could have easily only packed 1/4 of what I brought)! The house manual was helpful and provided the name of a driver “Bear” who helped us get around town. The house is in a safe and gated community that requires transportation but everything is a quick and cheap ($5-7) cab ride. 10/10 would stay again in a heartbeat.

after a week of fun with 19 total people, 5 of us extended our vacation just to chill! This was perfect getaway.
Lovely home!

Everything was perfect! We played hard in Zih with some great excursions. It was wonderful to come back to this relaxing oasis. Lilly and Jaquie were so helpful and friendly. The views were amazing, Beds were comfortable, everything was clean. I can't say enough about it :)
We had a Chef come in two nights and cook for us, I highly recommend! Oh, I almost forgot.... Jasmine the massage therapist came one afternoon and we all had massages. She was wonderful, One of the best I've had in a while! ( I'm a massage therapist here in the states (25 years, I know great massage )
We will be coming back for sure . Thank you Laurie, Jacqui, Lilly, our chef( can't remember her name) Jasmine and everyone else who made our trip one for the books.

Fantastic property - with ridiculous view! Private swimming pool with chairs and towels has the feel of a resort. Best host, and manager I have experienced after several rentals.

First time staying in Zihua - a truly amazing spot! We had a hurricane warning (Otis) but luckily it didn’t end up hitting us other than some rain at night. Casa Estrella de Mar is a beautiful spot and Laurie, Jaquie, Lilli, & Jorge we’re available as needed during our stay to help with anything! Walking distance from a picturesque beach. Taxi driver (Bear) were great but expect to take them if you’re heading into town / La Ropa beach!

Stunning villa perched on the hillside overlooking the beautiful bay. The pictures on the listing were very accurate except that the real thing was even better. The owners were very helpful. The property manager arranged for groceries on arrival, in house massages, golf and dinner reservations. We could not have been happier with our choice.

The view and property are just as expected. Absolutely stunning! Both Laurie and Jacqui were so communicative throughout the whole process.We had a few bumps in our adventure, but Jacqui was very kind and helpful in making sure we were taken care of. You must book a dinner with the chef, she is incredible and it was such a treat! It was our first time in Zihua, so the heat an environment took a little getting used to, but the pool is the best way to cool off! Taxis into the Centro or La Ropa are pretty necessary unless you love walking up steep hills. If you are looking for a more remote relaxing vacation, then this is the perfect spot for you!

My wife and two teenage kids stayed at Casa Estrella de Mar and had an extraordinary vacation. The house is immaculate, with a picturesque view, and the accommodations were perfect for our family. Jacquie met us when we checked in and had picked up a short list of groceries that we had sent in advance. Lili came every day to clean, do laundry, and otherwise keep the house in pristine condition.
We had a chef-prepared dinner at the house one night that was excellent and otherwise enjoyed exploring the area, eating at wonderful restaurants, and relaxing in the pool or on the deck.
Honestly, all of our needs were fully met. Taxis were easy to get and we walked to the beach one day as well. All in all it was an awesome stay and we hope to come back soon!

We highly recommend this Zihua Villa for a family vacation. From the moment we arrived with the views, check-in efficiency delivered groceries, and chef dinner ~ We knew we had found a wonderful and relaxing vacation spot in Mexico.

This place has it all...outstanding service, excellent location and ample opportunities for adventure. Our family enjoyed a week at Casa Estrella De Mar for a week in March and our experience was out of this world. Pre-trip communication from Laurie was quick, efficient and very helpful in planning our trip. Jacquie, the property manager, arranged for airport pick up at ZIH and it was a short 20 minute drive to our private oasis - arrived just in time to see the sunset - I don't think you can get enough pictures of that amazing view.
We were pampered from day one with arrangements for groceries upon arrival, option for daily or every other day cleaning service by Lilly (outstanding) and Jacquie at our service when we needed any arrangements made.
This property is located on a hillside, giving you a spectacular view of Zihua - the lights at night are a delight to see. We loved the open architecture and ample gathering spaces.
Special call out to Hector, the security guard in this gated community that helped us find a lost cell phone during our stay - his detective skills saved the day.
We will most certainly be back to this special place. Thank you, Laurie, for allowing us to share your special home.

When you walk thru the front door and onto the living area, you experience a little bit of heaven on earth. You are able to see all of Zihuatanejo Bay. The beautiful Las Gatas beach is just below you with its white, light green and blue coral waters. La Ropa beach is on the right with its beach restaurants and endless water sports toys. Then you can look across the bay at Maderas beach, the marina, downtown Z and the pier. The view at night that lights up before you is amazing. However, the personal touch of the staff there at Casa Estrella De Mar is the best I have ever encountered throughout my worldly travels. Starting with Laurie the owner, she goes above and beyond to answer any of your questions before you book or travel to help your experience there be fulfilled.
Next comes her property manager Jacqui who is exceptionally kind, attentive, resourceful, responsive and helpful. She provides excursion information while in Z and makes appointments for your own chef dinner She makes reservations for dinner. For 200 pesos, she will take your pre-arrival grocery list and stock the casa just prior to your arrival which is a huge plus after traveling all day. Housekeeping is provided by Lili and Jorge who provide fresh towels, water in your room, clean the infinity pool, wash your clothes for you, and clean the home. I am not sure the Ritz Carlton could do better.

We did not want to leave. Beautiful view, beautiful local art, beautiful house! The book of places to go written by the owners was very helpful. Be sure to read it. Hope to come back next year. Worth every penny!

What a great stay! The home is better kept than any VRBO we’ve ever used. The owners were amazingly accommodative to everything we requested. The property manager was responsive and actively checked to see if we needed anything often. We will definitely stay at Casa Estrella Del Mar again!

Birthday Celebration Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Estrella de Mar. The view is stupendous, the best view of our many house rentals. The home is well built, well-appointed and the pool is fantastic. Jacquie, local property manager, and Lili, house maid, were excellent. We did not rent a car, rather we used taxis for transport into town. Cost was $90 pesos one way, extremely reasonable and taxis were always plentiful. If you have a chance to use Pablo on the archeological tour, do so. Very informative and fun! Jacquie can book this tour for you. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely home above zihuatenejo. Enjoyed lounging in the pool and taking in the view.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. The house was absolutely stunning, but the incredible customer service from Jacqui was what really set it apart from anywhere else we have ever stayed. Anything we needed, any questions we had she was there to answer! Jorge and Lily were wonderful as well. The only thing was wifi did not reach in the master room, so be mindful if that is important to you- I’m assuming it’s because the house is solid concrete.
Hoping to stay at this beautiful property again sometime in the future. Thanks Laurie, Jacquie and team!

Casa Incredible
The property is amazing. From the moment we drove through the gates at Cerro Del Viagia we could feel how special this house would be. Our impressions were verified the moment we walked through the door. Stunning views from almost every angle. Making breakfast everyday hearing the roar of the ways below, the lights at night from across the the bay, the nightly breeze to luxuriate in to name just a few of the scenic wonders. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed framing some distinctive and stimulating art pieces from local artisans added a truly authentic experience. Our hosts were timely, completely available and kind. Thank you Laurie for your flexibility, understanding and welcoming us into your home.

This was our second time to reside at Casa de Estrella and once again - we could not be more pleased. With the perfect weather in late January, the perfect view, a friendly and helpful staff, a beautiful and charming villa up high on the side of a hill over-looking the bay, and those balmy ocean breezes - we've found our 'paradise'. The only thing we wish for - is that we owned this property - it's THAT FABULOUS! We'll be back - 2024, right on schedule. sz

This was our second visit to Casa Estrella de Mar and it certainly won’t be the last.
The view hasn’t gotten old. Although we knew what to expect it still surpassed our expectations upon arrival. The infinity pool is magical, the artwork beautiful. The common areas work incredibly well for dinners, drinks and socialization. Having two fridges really accommodated keeping all our drinks and groceries cool. We enjoyed a few dinners cooking in the well appointed kitchen and the guest book served as an amazing resource of restaurants for dining out.
Jackie (the manager) and Lily(the housekeeper) were very professional and accommodating. Jackie went above and beyond to book our PCR tests to save us a headache while travelling during Covid. These two truly made our trip and our stay at Casa Estrella de Mar an easy experience. And Laurie is the best host we have ever had.
We have said this before, but we will say it again…. We will see you next year!

It's everything you think
We had a great time at Casa Estrella. Word of the wise: read the red book in the media room! We missed that part from Jacqui and Lily when we checked in so we were a bit confused at first.
We had a problem with the ice maker but Jacqui and Laurie and everyone were so reactive and accommodating.
Such a beautiful view and property and a wonderful staff too!!

Secluded but so convenient
Estrella De Mar is such a wonderful property. Located in the hills above La Ropa you can see the city lights of Zihua sparkle at night directly across the bay.
The pictures accurately depict this wonderful home. It's a comfortable walk down to the beach (about 20 mins at an easy pace), we chose to cab back up the hill after our beach time/dinners. The property owners and staff are wonderful and very responsive!
This is a great location for up to three couples. The master bedroom, located above the pool, has fantastic views of the bay and the city. The breezes coming up from the bay keep this home very comfortable during the day and night...you may not ever turn the A/C on at all.
Estrella Da Mar is certainly on our list of "let's go back there".

Month of indulgence
Amazing home with the best view possible. Great amenities, beds, towels and an amazing infinity pool. A super quiet gated community and the home is on a dead end culdesac. Great air conditioning in all the bedrooms for cool sleeping. We highly recommend this property.
