About this property
Bella Vista--Spectacular Views of Zihua Bay from 1-BR Condo above Madera Beach
Zihuatanejo is located on a bay that has four beaches around it: Principal, La Madera, La Ropa, and Las Gatas. This condo is part of Bahia Suites, located on Playa La Madera,
It’s a one-bedroom unit on the second floor of the building that sleeps up to four (with a king bed in the bedroom plus two sofas in the living room that can be used as twin beds or easily pushed together to make a king-sized bed). It is open to the bay with no window or wall to obstruct the amazing view, although the master bedroom can be isolated with its air conditioning unit. The beach below is a great place for sunning, swimming, or getting something to eat.
Bahia Suites is on a hill above the beach. It has 24-hour security on duty and also has its own pool, shared by the ~20 units in the building.
Bahia Suites is close to the main part of town—a very walkable route along the bayfront or through the neighborhood. The immediate neighborhood has lots of cafes, some shops and a small grocery store. If you choose to walk to town, you’ll find the main market and many more shops and restaurants, as well as banks. There’s also a large complete grocery store, just like most of us are used to, and a Sam’s Club.
About Zihuatenejo
What we love about Zihuatanejo is that it still has the flavor of an old Mexican fishing village, but with the added attraction for visitors of many restaurants and places to hear live music.
For something a little different, you might enjoy participating in the release of baby sea turtles, or hiring a boat to cruise around the bay, go whale-watching, or fishing, or parasailing, or . . . The local people are warm and friendly and often go ‘above and beyond’ to make your visit wonderful.
We automatically offer a 10% discount on stays of 28 days or more.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Susie and Harry Andrist with Carmen Nunez as local manager.
Susie Andrist was born and raised in the Chicago area and graduated from the University of Illinois. After graduation, she moved to Oregon in 1970. In her subsequent career, she developed six different reading programs, completing the revision of two of those programs in spring of ’21. She became a Rotarian in 2008 and currently manages the homeless programs for her club. She has also been involved with a Eugene-based non-profit, StoveTeam International, serving as a board member since 2008 when it became a registered non-profit and participating in thirteen volunteer work trips to Latin America. In addition to her Rotary work, she enjoys kayaking, singing, aquatic exercise, and international travel.
Harry Andrist was born in Omaha, Nebraska but grew up in southern California. After graduating with an advanced degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois (where he first met Susie in 1968), Harry took up academic positions in chemistry departments at three universities in Oregon, England, and Colorado before joining Cleveland State University where he remained for twenty-seven years. Subsequently, he served the State of Ohio for twenty years as Director, Vice Chancellor, and Senior Advisor at the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
Susie and Harry are considered by some to still be newlyweds, as they got married in the fall of 2019. With the marriage, Susie was lucky to become part of Harry’s extended family of three children and seven grandchildren.
Susie and Harry live in Oregon with their three cats and are avid vacation travelers, especially during the winter months. They have enjoyed visits to Zihuatanejo so much that they purchased their condo at Nuevo Bahia Suites in March of 2021.

Why they chose this property
Susie enjoyed many visits over the years to Playa Madera, while Harry was there for the first time in 2020; but the two of them enjoy Zihuatanejo so much that they purchased their condo at Nuevo Bahia Suites in March of 2021. They especially love the view, the pool, and the proximity to town of this condo.
What makes this property unique
Zihuatanejo has the flavor of a quaint little fishing village even though its economy greatly depends upon tourism. Accordingly, it has many fantastic restaurants, some of which are venues for outstanding live music on a regular basis.
