Tropical Artist's Bungalow with panoramic sea and bay views and private pool.
Casa Michale is a bungalow located on a tropical hillside, 100 meters above sea level, affording stunning ocean and bay views. There are about 25 stairs down to the house from the street. The kitchen is equipped so you can cook if you are in the mood or there are many good restaurants close by. Inside the house is a king size bed, lockable walk in closet, desk (WiFi speed is 155) and sitting which are air-conditioned and have sliding glass windows and screens. Adjoining the bedroom is the WC and bathroom. The bathroom has a shower and closed WC. On the patio is a fully equipped kitchen, out door sitting and a day bed at pool-side where you can nap or read or sleep. The dipping pool and sun deck are private. Hotel Amuleto is just a few hundred meters down the street with excellent food and Suspiro just within walking. If you need laundry done or a meal cooked for you, you can arrange this with Bibi who will also greet you and get you settled. Rufina will organize a taxi to bring you from the airport. If you are driving, there is secure street parking at our entrance. All you need is to relax and enjoy.
There is an air conditioned workspace desk and lockable space for your valuables. The house is quiet and secluded, and is ideal for the perfect getaway. Bibi will arrange a taxi for you at the airport with a market stop if you like and Bibi will greet you at the house and get you settled in. Playa la Ropa is a pleasant 20 minute walk or a $4.US taxi. If you walk down to the beach there is a taxi stand at the South end of Playa la Ropa so you don't have to walk back home. The kitchen is equipped if you want to do some cooking or you can arrange for Bibi to do a meal for you. She is also available to do any laundry. If you have rented a car there is safe street parking and if not, easy taxis are available. There are 2 very good restaurants within walking distance, Amuleto, one of the best in town, and Suspiro, and a number of restaurants on Playa la Ropa as well as in town. We will have a list in the house of taxi numbers and restaurant suggestions. In town you have a wealth of shops and markets to explore. Every morning the local fishermen bring their catch onto the beach downtown where there is also a great breakfast spot. So between the beaches, La Ropa, La Madera and Las Gatas, the markets and shops you will have a lot to keep you busy if you can get out of the pool.

Couldn't ask for more! Great private property with one of the best views of the bay. Felt like a home away from home. All amenities that were needed were there, the leisure pool was amazing for those humid afternoons. The steps in and out of house are good cardio but managable. 5 star property!
We appreciated the stay at Casa Robert. The host was very responsive to any issues that we had which is always comforting. After getting up the stairs, a lovely view awaits!
Love that we can close the doors to the bedroom and have air conditioning along with the upgraded fans in the bedroom and the one in the kitchen area! Our second stay here and we plan to return. I am a cook and appreciate what is currently in the home, I would like if there cooking sheets or baking pans to put in the oven. We go to the market and make most of our meals at the home. Thanks, Robert, for sharing this piece of paradise!
The treehouse is so beautiful. The views are amazing and the house is unique. A few things to note...there are very loud noises on the roof at night. There are likely animals climbing on the roof but it is jarring, particularly if you're a solo traveller. The treehouse is within a locked compound with another bungalow but the treehouse itself is not secured with locks. There is security on the property but something to keep in mind. Otherwise it is quiet, peaceful and idyllic.
The house was great! It has such a beautiful view. We loved waking up and seeing the bay without even having to get out of bed. It was a peaceful and very quiet area. The birds were fun to watch and listen to. Walking down to Playa La Ropa was fine, we had to take taxis back up and of course into Zihua. The stairs were not a problem, as you can leave by going down to the lower road and return at the top and then walk down to the house from the upper road. And thank you so much for providing sharp knives in the kitchen - that never happens!! And we love to cook so it does matter.
Absolutely stunning views! The villa was clean and well equipped. The staff we met were lovely and accommodating. Very quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
We enjoyed being slightly remote, preparing our own meals and the privacy, but at the time access to great restaurants, beaches, and socializing with friends in the central part of town,
A beautiful bungalow, absolutely amazing view, excellent large bed, fully functional kitchen with essentials. Nice staff, private pool. Downside is a bit of a climb from the beach or town...take a cab i'd suggest, and even then there will be stairs. Worth !
It was everything we hoped it would be. Gorgeous setting, walking distance to beach and restaurants, and outdoor living at its finest. Staff was available, courteous and professional, and Robert was a responsive host. Is it too soon to reserve for next year?!?

Thank you Catherine,
I am very glad you had a good stay and it is never too late to arrange your next visit. We will be waiting. All the best, Robert
Property was ideally situated, clean and well maintained. Staff was very good and attentive.Property listing did not mention the number of steps to get to the room which could be a problem for older or handicapped persons.Overall a great value for the money.
This property is stunning! Bibi was helpful when we arrived with showing us around and offered more help if necessary. The pool was lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed for a couple dinners at home. The bed was comfortable and the variety of outdoor seating options was unlike anywhere we’ve ever stayed. We would love to stay here again!
This is an amazing space; it’s private and secluded with an amazing view day and night. Super secure with great local help (thank you Bibi!). The property sits about 385’ above the beach, so you will get your steps in! Which we wanted. But for a few dollars, there are plenty of cabs if you are tired or in a hurry.
What an amazing place to rest and relax. The view of the bay never got old, and the lights from town are stunning at night. Ropa was a short walk down hill and a cheap cab ride up hill. Definitely going back the pictures don’t do it justice.
Gorgeous property and bungalow! This place is amazing. Everything was perfect.The bungalow is so cool! There are plenty of different places to relax. The pool and deck are dreamy and the view of the bay is glorious. At night when the lights of the city come on it's hard to go to sleep because it is so beautiful. Contacting Robert was easy and he was a great host. Easy check in with clear instructions on how to work everything and phone numbers if we needed anything.We will absolutely be coming back, easily the most amazing place we have stayed in Zihua.
Location, Privacy, View, and the hospitality. I’m in love.
Very very pleased and will return to Casa Roberto very soon. I can’t even put it in words on just how simple, fun, and relaxing this house was. Gracias for everything! Clean, rapid help, extra necessities were in a snap of a finger. I do vacation rentals as well. And I always go out of my way to make things happen. This is exactly how this place is ran. Top notch. 10/10
This place is absolutely gorgeous! Even more beautiful than the pictures show. The views are amazing and you have a lot of privacy. The bedroom has A/C and the private pool is perfect for staying cool during the day. Robert responded quickly to all questions and Bibi was great…she was there to check us in and help us get settled. Kitchen was stocked well enough for our needs and they provided big bottles of water for our use. Bibi also arranged our taxis to and from the airport. It’s a great place, perfect for a romantic getaway!
I thoroughly enjoyed the palapa. Clever design, artfully built, nothing is missing. The photos show it off but reality is even better. It’s a luxurious indoor/outdoor apartment. Bibi was easy to communicate with and management and cleanliness were to a high standard. The view is spectacular! I loved the location and privacy, and had no trouble going to La Ropa or Zihua Centro. The beach is ten minutes down the hill and town is fifteen minutes further by frequent combi buses. Casa Robert is a gem.
This is a prime example of Mexican ingenuity and creative craftsmanship. A very comfortable house with an Amazing view from every location of the house, including the master bed. I went to sleep to the twinkling lights of Zhiua and woke up to the spectacular view of the bay, all without getting out of bed. A short walk to restaurants, La Ropa beach etc. Classic Mexican rustic construction. If you have mobility issues then this would not be a good place for you. It's built in a steep hill and requires stairs climbing, otherwise a fantastic spot. The amenities are very adequate, fully stocked kitchen.
Casa Robert is a wonderful treehouse-like retreat overlooking the bay of Zihuatanejo from which you can see all the beaches and the town. I especially enjoyed bird watching, yoga on the deck, and taking a dip in the plunge pool to cool off. Walking to beautiful La Ropa beach took some effort but was not difficult. We were so comfortable at the casita, with the outdoor day bed, couch and loungers that we often stayed and enjoyed the property. WIFI was very good for both work and entertainment. The kitchen was small but adequate. There are a number of stairs to negotiate but you are rewarded with the view. Communication with Bibi and her sister Rufi was excellent and they were always ready to help in any way with our stay. Muchas gracias!
