Truly the view you came for. Enjoy your morning coffee as you gaze out over the Pacific Ocean where the cruise ships arrive and the oceangoing cargo ships depart, lounge throughout the day on the large deck, down by the pool or on the beach with shimmering waves in the background. Then while sipping your favorite refreshment, share the spectacular sunset over the Las Hadas peninsula from the balcony, as the lights of downtown Manzanillo fill the sky. Lull yourself to sleep with the sound of the waves splashing against the sea wall.
The Ocean is a part of your life while staying in our Manzanillo home and is viewed from almost every room.
This 3rd floor penthouse unit is a part of a small complex of only 14 units. The grounds, lawns and pools are meticulously maintained by the live-in managers. Most of the time, there are only a few owners in residence giving you the feel of having a private pool and deck. The complex has several palapas with tables and chairs by the ocean wall, lounge chairs galore, large beach umbrellas and a beachfront bar is available for your use.
Inside the condo you will find all the modern amenities to make your visit and holiday a success. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, dressers, ample closet space, wall safe and a large 3 piece bathroom. Direct sliding door access to the balcony. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds which can be made into a king bed ( both types of bedding are supplied). dressers, and large closet. A second large bathroom is right next door. The Living room with 2 walls of sliding glass affords unbelievable views and has a flat screen TV, DVD player, Star Choice satellite TV ( hundreds of Canadian and USA channels and a CD player.
Plus there is a unique privacy curtain which can close off this room and in effect make a third sleeping room. The 2 couches are actually the size of 2 single beds and very comfortable.
The central dining area has a beautiful round glass and wicker dining set which easily seats up to 8. The sideboard holds glassware to meet all your refreshment needs.
The kitchen is very modern , sunny and still allows a view of the ocean. All the cutlery, dinnerware, cooking utensils are included. Coffee pot, blender, toaster, microwave, large fridge and propane stove and oven. There is plenty of cupboard space and a large adjoining storage room with washer and dryer .
The condo has central air conditioning, electric water cooler,various games and a library of paperbacks (honor system - book exchange).
PLUS: the condo is equipped with wireless hi -speed internet. Bring your laptop and can even use it by the pool.
One of the greatest values of this condo is it's location. There is no need for a vehicle; as literally everything you will need, and want is a short walk away. Located on a paved street, a block off the main street, gives you access to everything without the traffic noise . Yet only a 3 minute walk to the largest food store, 5 minutes to Walmart, 8 - 10 minutes to the main mall, and a new casino is only 5 minutes. You have access to many restaurants, night clubs, shops, car rentals within minutes.
Plus when you wish to visit Santiago markets and churches it's a 8-10 minute bus ride ( 5 pesos) or a 5 minute taxi. (in 2008 cost 30 pesos).
Although Manzanillo is definitely not a tourist-type town; there is a great choice of familiar establishments built to cater to the local Mexican nationals. Starbucks, KFC, Burger King, Office Max, Dominos Pizza, to name a few.
We have visited many of the Mexican beach towns; and to us none compare to Manzanillo. As written in one travel/ real estate editorial, "Manzanillo feels like California 40 years ago".

My wife and I grew up on the prairies of Alberta in Western Canada. Albertans tend to vacation in Hawaii, California or Mexico. We started going to Mexico in 1998 and every year became more and more enchanted with the people, the culture, the history and the more laid back life style. In 2000 we discovered Mnzanillo and were fortunate to meet many Canadian and American folks who live there full time. After sharing thier life experiences and with our explorations we knew this was to be our destination for long term stays.
Manzanillo offers almost all the amenities of the tourist centres such as PV or Cancun without the compromises . Traffic is more moderate, restaurants are reasonable and without line ups. If you prefer not to banter with time share reps then Manzanillo is your kind of town. Cultural events abound and although many are directed at the local population and in Spanish they welcome visitors.
The beaches go for miles and a surfside walk is the perfect way to start your day.
This is the location of the condo complex. To the left at the end of the street is Wal Mart, to the right 1/2 block and then to the Boulevard brings you to a huge shopping plaza ( 2 blocks total).
