Top Shelf!

Group of 5 friends who’ve travelled together over the years. Each stay we try and top the last and this property did not disappoint! (Personally I could have stayed…)The guest hand book is very helpful! Laurie recommended a chef make dinner in the house for our arrival, which we did. HIGHLY recommend as we were exhausted and ended up with left overs for lunch, and the cost was reasonable compared to eating out. The Neighborhood is safe and clean. The tennis court can handle a pickle if one prefers. (Take water) The house pool is refreshing. The kitchen is well appointed. Can’t ask for much more.Seems far from amenities but it’s close. Easy walk down the hill and taxi back (100 pesos ish) if ladened with groceries or cervesas. We were very comfortable. We Highly recommend the property and helpful host.

Stunning view and property

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.

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!

Amazing stay at Casa Estrella De Mar

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!

1st time in Zihuatanejo

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.

Breathtaking!

This is the most amazing house, with the most spectacular view of Zihuatenajo. Staying at this house makes your vacation even more special! It is above Playa La Ropa. The house is equipped with everything you need. You can arrange a massage or chef prepared dinner, under the stars! The infinity pool is heated, so swim anytime. Clean and beautifully decorated with Mexican motif. Very easy to make your reservations with the lovely owner.

Zihua family vacation

Beautiful house above the bay with a view of everything. We had the perfect view of water taxis shuttling people from the peer to Playa Las Gatas all day. When the sun sets, the town stays light and is absolutely gorgeous. Gourmet kitchen, huge dining room table, and comfy seating around the pool and in the living room. Perfect for 3 couples, never felt like we were on top of each other. The private chef was so good, she came back two more times! Lili came every other day and did our laundry, we were spoiled for sure. Not the best for people with mobility issues, as stairs up to the master or down to the other two beds is the only access to the bedrooms. So there is some serious stair climbing to get around the house. Good for your legs! Gated safe community, under development so there is construction happening on most streets. The houses are built to be very private so it wasn’t a huge issue. Be prepared to take taxis to get anywhere, and make sure you practice your Spanish and/or download Google Translate to communicate as needed. Zihua is a very clean and safe feeling town, with a growing food scene. Espuma was a favourite dinner out, highly recommend. And Margaritas for brunch. La Ropa was a great beach, and make the trip to Playa Las Gatas at least once!

Two Canadians with a love of Mexico

Why they chose this property

Zihuatanejo is our favorite place in Mexico and Cerro De Vigia is a wonderful secure development overlooking Playa la Ropa and Las Gatos Beaches. It has tennis courts,
bike trails, is 10 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute taxi to the center of the fishing village

What makes this property unique

Delightful seclusion and privacy, yet minutes from all the activities of a Mexican resort. Home is 5 star with fabulous kitchen facilities, dining area for 14, media room with flat screen TV, internet, DVD and CD's. Daily house keeper, pool boy and more
