Harriet and Ron
"We had the best honeymoon we could have ever imagined at Sueno del Mar in beautiful Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The interior of the condo is gorgeous...perfectly appointed with real Mexican art from the highlands, handcrafted furniture, and fully modern kitchen and bathrooms. The views are even better than in photos, and we started and ended everyday out on the bedroom terrace. I highly recommend Zihua for an authentic, peaceful, and unique trip, and Sueno del Mar is the perfect place to stay."
Jill and Scott, August, 2008
"Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condominium. It is a feast for the eyes. The beautiful furniture, pictures and Mexican art was mesmerizing. It was wonderful having our morning coffee in the open air living room watching the day at the bay begin. Everyone we met at the condominium complex is friendly and helpful. The two weeks were pure heaven for us."

Why the Owner Chose Zihuatanejo
Harriet and Ron went to Zihuatanejo on their first date in 1978. Back then it was a sleepy fishing village, where you could lie on the beach all day under a palapa. You could take an occasional plunge in the gentle surf, sip a piña colada, dine on the freshest fish, and take a nighttime stroll under more stars than you could ever dream up.
That was almost thirty years ago, and hardly anything has changed. It is waking up a little and has more comforts and conveniences, but the construction of Ixtapa twenty minutes away corralled all the high-rise hotels, trendy discos and deconstruction of natural splendor.
Zihuatanejo has kept all of its old world charm and remains one of the most beautiful beaches and bays in the world. They have traveled a lot since then, but Zihuatanejo is the place they always go back to, and finally in 2006 they bought property there.
The Unique Benefits at this Zihuatanejo beach rental condo
The view. The art. The bay. The people. The food.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. The minute we opened the front door it felt as though we were home. We enjoyed the open air living and dining area. Your boogie boards were used daily and the waves were perfect for riding on. We had some great times and look forward to coming back again some day. PN, Minnesota Only a week here wasn’t quite enough! Time went by so quickly. So much to see and do. The condo is so comfortable and gorgeous. We really like it here and hope to have a chance to come again. The view is spectacular! MB, Colorado We have had such an amazing time our only complaint is that we can’t stay longer! This is the nicest architectural detail and interior design of anywhere we have stayed in Mexico. I felt like I was on a “best of Mexico” artesania /art tour as well. We would go back in a second! The sunset will sustain us for the rest of our rainy Seattle weather. KD, Washington Our three favorite things at Sueno del Mar are: the spectacular view (we watched the sunset every night and later the stars): the décor of the condo, from the colors to the furniture and objets d’arte, especially the Botero-style armoire; and the pools (we swam every day). We had great meals at many of your picks. MK, Massachusetts
