About this property

Casa Que Ve Al Mar means 'The House That Overlooks the Sea' and with spectacular views of the beach, the bay, the open ocean, the Sierra Madre mountains, and the true blue sky, you will know you've arrived in paradise!

Casa d'Arte, is one of the most sought-after condos at La Casa Que Ve Al Mar because it is totally romantic, totally magical, and totally unique. It's high up on the 7th floor of the premier front building and at 1900 sq. ft, it is one of the very largest in the complex. You will have completely unobstructed views in 3 directions from our spacious 500 sq. ft. terazza as well as glorious ocean views from the living room, master bedroom, and elsewhere. Relax and watch the waves roll in!

The, plant-filled terrace at Casa d'Arte is a highlight of this special home and where you may spend most of your time - a perfect place for a lazy breakfast or a sunset drink, or for blissfully watching the ocean and enjoying the breeze. But the romance does not end there! Exquisite designer touches throughout Casa d'Arte create an atmosphere of serene beauty and elegance. There are two whimsical bedrooms (the Wave Room and the Jungle Room), a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and an inviting dining area with a playful fountain.

We're located in the middle of Zihuatanejo's fabled Playa La Ropa, one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, so we're only a short walk from the beach, numerous restaurants, bars, and other attractions. You can make your vacation as relaxing or as active as you like - the choices are yours!

If you can pull yourself out of your hammock, there are numerous activities within walking distance or a short bus or taxi ride away. There are other sleepy beaches where you can unwind far from the crowds but you can also enjoy fine dining, sunset cruises, shopping, dancing, spas, tennis, golf, yoga, artisan markets, horseback riding, traditional cultural shows, world-class fishing, surfing, and so much more! The modern resort of Ixtapa is just five kilometers to the north, the Zihua/Ixtapa Airport about the same distance to the south.

For your convenience there is maid service, and wireless Internet. For your comfort there are ceiling fans as well as state-of-the-art air conditioning and for your enjoyment there is a flat-screen TV, CD sound system and the fabulous ever-changing panoramic vista - featuring nightly sunsets! The gated Casa Que Ve Al Mar complex has two gorgeous infinity pools, 24-hour security, parking, and quick walking access to Playa la Ropa.

Extraordinary deck

We experienced some issues which Dulce the property manager tried desperately to rectify. The washer was broken for the whole 3 weeks which was a pain and I think there was 3 or 4 different repairman to look at it but what was needed was a brand new unit . We were able to send laundry out or have the use of another but very inconvenient. The living room a/c had no remote so we had to get an electrician in to set it so we could turn on manually and after a few days we had a new remote. Many of the glasses and dishes were cracked and we threw them out and Dulce got us some new ones. Our friends who stayed in the 2nd bedroom did not like the wooden structure over the bed with some hanging thing that clanged in the night- it was spooky. We lived on the patio which was enormous and ate all our meals out there, the views were stunning, the pools were great, we walked to the beach everyday but the hike back up was a bit tough. The floors in the complete condo were very cool with the intricate designs. With a little TLC this would be 5 star so really the onus is on the owner to spruce it up. Staff were great- Dulce, Basilia the cleaning lady was very sweet, Veronica our chef is excellent and Mario and the other guards are very attentive. A great 3 weeks with fantastic weather and with a few tweaks this would have been really great Steve & Janet , Larry & Melinda

Fantastic Condo

Casa d'Arte is a fantastic space. The 2 bedrooms are comfortable and the kitchen has enough equipment for breakfasts and simple dinners. But the star of the condo is the balcony. The 4 of us (2 couples) had plenty of space, and lived on the balcony when we weren't on the beach. As others note, the condo is on top of a steep (!) hill -- the stairs might be a better option than the driveway. But a dunk in 1 of the 2 pools made a great reward after climbing back up from a day at the beach. Harriet provided lots (!) of pre-arrival info, and the guards (gracias, Ruben) were very helpful for odds & ends (agua potable...). We love Zihua, and Casa d'Arte is definitely a great home base that we hope to return to.

As nice or better than photos indicate

Overall a great place to stay. Views of the bay are great. Unfortunately there was a red tide issue which made La Ropa a bit murky during our stay. We interacted most with the security guards, who were great, by stopping for a rest at the guard station, which was halfway up the hill. We ended up giving the night guard, Mario, our leftovers, which he said he enjoyed after his shift. My companion spoke Spanish to him. Best beaches for swimming and snorkeling by far are at Isle Ixtapa. Although everyone offered to call a taxi for us when we left the property, we either walked or waved down a minibus on the street. It is a great transportation system which costs 13 pesos (about 75 cents) for a ride into town center.

Stunning View Plus Beautiful Comfort

It's really a toss-up as to which we enjoyed more... the gorgeous view of Zihua Bay from the huge outdoor terrace, or just how comfortable it was inside Casa d'Arte. The décor was so colorful and fun. The colorful flowers all around the grounds and balconies made the trip really special. It was so convenient to be able to walk to Playa de Ropa. Even the steep walk back was fine to work off a margarita or two. It was super convenient and fun (not to mention cheap!) to catch the little public transportation bus to go to el centro. Harriett provided such great and extensive information before the trip. Kudos! Overall, I highly recommend this place; we will be back again!

About the host

What makes this property unique

We spend most of our time on the terraza. Casa d'Arte has one of only 4 large covered terazzas in the complex -- that's one reason we bought it. We furnished it for elegant outdoor living complete with dining table and chairs, hammocks, lounge chairs, tropical plants, and an 'art station' desk. At almost 2000 square feet, Casa d'Arte is one of the most spacious condos in the Casa Que Ve Al Mar complex. We take full advantage of our glorious pools too -- I swim several times a week.

Because Casa'd'Arte was built as a personal residence, there are many exceptional touches. We have a beautiful indoor fountain out of river rocks in the dining room as well as two crocodiles in the hand laid pullido floors.

When we're not here, we enjoy sharing our home with others who will appreciate it as much as we do.

Casa d'Arte is totally unique because it was created out of love and designed to inspire. We understand that even the tiniest details are important to making our condo as beautiful as the natural magnificence viewed right from our terraza and almost every room.
