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.

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!
