About this apartment rental
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!

Great condo for our family, lots of room to spread out. Lovely pool with panoramic view of the bay. Kitchen was nice, we made breakfast in every day and walked to local restaurants for dinner. Would stay here again.

We enjoyed our trip to Zihua immensely. The MAIN reason for that was staying in this gorgeous home. So comfortable and so elegant. The gourmet kitchen (fully equipped) made the trip even better! We cooked a lot of fresh fish and shrimp in that kitchen. So many things to love about Villa Estrella del Mar: amazing views of the Bay from every room and an infinity pool that is truly a dream. The staff were fantastic. So helpful and responsive in every way. We will be back!

VILLA ESTRELLA del Mar--CASA ZIH 3: We loved every minute of our stay at this beautiful property and Playa La Ropa, we already miss our morning coffee taking in the gorgeous view. Filiberto was great and very helpful with any questions we had and helped with some minor issues. Andreas was also a great recommendation, next time we will do an overnight excursion into the mountains. We just realized 10 days is not enough time, and will plan to stay longer. Thank you again for sharing your amazing property with us, we are already checking availability for next year. Warm Regards.

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,

Amazing condo overlooking Playa La Ropa...
My wife and I visited with another couple. The layout lends itself perfectly for two couples to have private space in their respective rooms/bathrooms and enjoy all the other amenities together in the shared spaces. The owners have created an awesome experience - the housekeeper, concierge, and the private chef/cook the owners suggested were all AMAZING and exceeded our expectations. The unit had everything we could have wished for and it was very convenient to wash some of our laundry while there. Filiberto, the concierge, was able to coordinate several dinners and events for our group - he made everything so easy. We spent most with a nightcap the unit's private patio overlooking all of the bay and the lights - we can't wait to do it again. And when we visited the great infinity pool, we usually had it all to ourselves! Thank you, Jon & Deborah!

Perfect Stay in Zihua
This Casa Z condo is excellent - great location, outstanding view, beautifully furnished with everything you could need, wonderful pool and very helpful local staff - we had a terrific week in Zihua. The property owners were great and answered all of our questions. Their local information book is the best we’ve seen anywhere. We will definitely return!

Amazing views
My husband, mom and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Z Unit 3 for a month in November. We could not have asked for a better place to enjoy while on our holiday. The unit itself is large and well set up for two couples, or a parent. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in when renting longer term accommodation...and the decor is so tasteful. We absolutely loved preparing our meals and looking out at the incredible view. Both Noe and Casilda do an amazing job at keeping the unit, the grounds and the pool clean and beautiful. The location is great, a quick walk down to La Ropa and a quick cab ride or Combi ride to Zihua Centro. As we are big walkers, we walked to Zihua Centro and often back but it was nice to have the option of getting a cab right up to the door and then take the elevator with our groceries to our Unit. We will definately return to Casa Z! It is an amazing place.

Fabulous Accommodations
This property is personalized by the owners. Nothing that a person needs on vacation is missing.
The book of information looks professional done, and all recommendations we used, were very good. The restaurants Tentaciones, Espuma, Amuleto and La Casa Que Canta were exceptional. The breakfast place down town is a must, can't remember the name.
If you like fishing The Elva 3, recommended is the best we have had in Mexico. I believe skipper was Edgar, mate was Christopher.
The location is perfect, from the view to closeness to activities.
We enjoyed the hummingbird activity at the 2 feeders on the balcony, just like at home.
The staff was great, cleaning and grounds people, very personal and attentive. The management contact was great and always available when we called.
We always rent a car so used a taxi only a few times when we were spilt up on activities. When we did it was a good experience.
We will plan to visit again and will again rent this property if available.
This property was more money than where we usually stay, but well worth the difference.

Amazing!
We just returned from a week at Jon and Deborah's Casa Zih 3 condo, and couldn't be happier with our stay! Zihuatanejo is a fabulous place to visit. Beautiful bay and beaches, wonderful restaurants, friendly locals, and a vibrant community. The condo is absolutely amazing. The pics are accurate, but still are unable to capture the true beauty of the place and of the accommodations. Loved the views, the open and airy floor plan, the fine art and furnishings, the comfy bed, the pool/grounds, and the marvelously stocked kitchen. Jon and Deborah were a delight. They even purchased a small gas grill ahead of our stay because I had mentioned I was looking forward to grilling some fresh fish....so thoughtful! They truly want their guests to fully enjoy their place and Zihuatanejo, and we did! Additionally, the local team of property caretakers/manager we're exceptional and extremely welcoming. I cannot recommend more highly, we will be back!

Fantastic view of the Bay!
Beautiful two bedroom, three bath condo, decorated very nice. The Manager Filberto took care of all of our needs, the grounds keeper Noe took care of the grounds and helped us with the groceries. I would highly recommend this property, the pool was wonderful, what a view from the pool. Very quiet place.

The perfect vacation.
The second you walk in you will be blown away by the view and overall beauty of this condo. It is a beautiful spot, and perfect location. They have it set up so that you have an English speaking property manager as well as taxi driver. It couldn't have been more convenient. I would highly recommend this rental unit. Thank- you for the perfect vacation.

This was our third time to Casa Zih and our first time to Villa Estrella (unit 3). We've been to Zihuat several times and this is by far one of our favorite places to stay. Casa Zih has six units and we usually stay in a smaller one, but this time it was booked. We looked at other places around the town, but we could not find anything we liked as much as Casa Zih. We decided to stay in Villa Estrella even though it was larger than we needed . We were not disappointed! Villa Estrella is beautifully decorated and designed so you can gather together or enjoy plenty of private space.The kitchen is modern and fully stocked with every kitchen tool you would ever need. We loved it some much we rarely ate out. My husband pointed out that I cooked more on our vacation than I do at home. The master bedroom is huge with an amazing balcony which was perfect for me when I needed to remote into my business to do a bit of work. The master bath has huge picture windows (still very private) so you can take in the incredible view as you shower or soak in the tub. There is a bonus room where my husband spent most of his time. He loved to sit on the comfy leather couch and read, or drink his morning coffee. One of the big draws for us is the horizon pool. We prefer the pool to the beach so we spent many hours there, mostly by ourselves and occasionally with other guests. Some we've met before because they love it as much as we do and return year after year. There is a bathroom and shower next to the pool which is very convenient. We feel extremely safe, especially since the entire unit is gated. If you like to walk, run or spend time at the beach this location is perfect. Playa Ropa Beach is just a short walk, and once there you can swim, kayak or eat at one of the many restaurants. Las Gatos is just a little farther hike, or you can take a boat. It's a great place to snorkel or just explore.Downtown Zihuat is a short walk, which we did daily, but you can also take a cab. Our condo, and the entire unit is extremely well maintained and very clean. Owners Deborah and Jon can hook you up with Andres, who offers some of the most wonderful excursions. We call him every time we're in town to set up a day excursion to one of the many surrounding beaches or towns.Thank you Deborah and Jon for sharing your home and making our vacation memorable. We will definitely return.
