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.

Absolutely loved Zihautenejo. Breathtaking views, the house was perfection, the beaches were clean, the water was warm and the food was delicious! Everything you want in Mexico! Saludos.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Estrella de Mar. The views were absolutely breathtaking, the home was very clean, the property manager Jacquie was very responsive and accommodating, and we all felt very safe. We will be back!

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!

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!

You just don't get tired of the view - it is breathtaking. Clean and easy, great communication and management. You certainly feel cared for here. Highly recommend having dinner made for you at the house. TREAT!! Should have done that once more during our stay.

LOVED IT!!! Beautiful & well cared for home in a great quiet location, very clean, amazing views, really well furnished & stocked, excellent communication with owner & local staff, nice neighborhood, safe feeling....definitely a place we will consider returning to!

Absolute perfection for a family getaway. Not enough superlatives. Adored cooking in the indoor/outdoor kitchen overlooking the pool. Played cards in the ac office//media room. Drinks all hours of the day in the infinity pool. Stunning views from all 3 bedrooms so no one needs to fight. Laurie, jacquie and Lili were so sweet and responsive. Will always stay here when returning to zihua.

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!!

Wonderful stay, I hope we can come back!

My partner and I j

The house is very well maintained, the view was amazing, and the communication with the property manager was fantastic. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy. Overall, we had a great time. We will definitely come back!

Overall a wonderful experience..great location with fabulous bay and beach views, spotlessly clean accommodations, and a very friendly and helpful housekeeper ....Will most definitely recommend this property to my friends who want to experience Zihuatanejo the right way

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".

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.

Nous avons apprécié chaque instant dans cette maison qui offre une vue incroyable! Merci à nos hôtes

When we arrived at the property we were taken aback by the beauty of the views and the Casa. My expectations were high and the Casa exceeded them. My grown kids immediately said that I had outdone myself this time in picking this property! Ha ha, I get to take credit for it! We were greeted very warmly by Jacquie, the project manager and Lilli the housekeeper. We really enjoyed Lillie’s guacamole and salsa. Jacquie had shopped for our groceries so we were able to arrive and not worry about shopping for a few days. That was a huge bonus. We loved the open concept of the living area and kitchen with their beautiful high ceilings and enchanting chandeliers. I never tired of looking at all the beautiful art. The master bedroom with its high ceilings and view was spectacular and our kids were very happy with their rooms on the ground floor. The kitchen had everything we needed including some nice sharp knives. We loved the privacy, the quiet and the gorgeous pool. The security guards were friendly and very professional. We felt safe the whole time we were there. We had dinner in twice (once with the private chef which was a real treat) but for the most part we took the short cab ride into town and back. We absolutely love the town of Zihuatanejo and are hoping to come back many more times. Last but not least the management of this home is stellar. Lilli and Jorge were excellent, Jacquie is so professional, friendly and checked in by messaging frequently. Laurie could not have been a better host. She is a wonderful communicator and anticipates your every need. All in all, the whole experience was top notch!

My new husband and I rented this property for our Honeymoon and could not be happier with our choice. The photos of the property are gorgeous, but seeing it in person was even better. It was the most relaxing vacation ever. They even set up the Master bedroom with rose petals and hearts to celebrate our arrival on our honeymoon. Laurie, the owner, was so responsive and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. Great recommendations to restaurants and things to do in town. Jackie, the house manager, had everything stocked for us before arriving and was available for reservations and helping us book a private chef. Highly recommend having the private chef come one night. Best food ever! Thank you Laurie and staff for making our honeymoon so special! We can't wait to plan a trip back:)

We had a wonderful time in Zihua. Completely fell in love with the town, but made all the better by staying in such a fantastic property. Just a gorgeous place to stay - not sure we will ever get over the most incredible view. Perfect place to relax, easy to get into the town with a short cab ride.
