Location: Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (15 Minutes from Ixtapa Airport, 5 Minutes to Zihuatanejo) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)
As you open the door to “Los Pelícanos” building at Punta Marina, you will feel an overwhelming sense of beauty and peace. Located in a private, hillside complex overlooking the ocean, the condo has one of the most extensive views of the Bahía de Zihuatanejo, the town and the surrounding mountains. You can enjoy this breathtaking view from the huge private terrace, dining area, kitchen, open-air living room and 2 bedrooms.
With 2,500 SF of space, the condo gives you plenty of room for enjoyment. All of the woodwork and decorative elements were handmade by local craftsmen, for a classic and elegant Mexican feel. The condo occupies the 3rd floor of a 5 level building, assuring tranquility and a lovely ocean breeze.
The condo faces north, so the rooms stay nice and cool during the day and offer an unobstructed view of the sunset over the ocean. You can count on the soothing ocean breeze to lull you to sleep, but each room is also equipped with ceiling fans and air conditioning for hotter summer nights. The master and second bedrooms have their own bathrooms with tastefully tiled showers and Talavera sinks. The third bedroom/studio shares a bathroom that is open to the rest of the condo.
A large modern kitchen with a panoramic ocean view makes cooking a pleasure. The adjoining dining room can comfortably accommodate 8 guests at the one of a kind glass and cactus root table. One of the best features of the condo is the folding glass door that joins the dining room with the open-air living room, for a truly unique living space.
The terrace is furnished with a very comfortable and modern couch, a traditional Mexican equipal dining set for 4, and a small soaking tub for two – the perfect place to cool off and enjoy a margarita at sunset. The terrace is also equipped with an entertainment center, complete with CD player, TV and DVD player. The condo is just a 5 minute walk to Playa de Ropa beach or 170 steps down – so close that you can actually hear the sound of the waves on the beach. On the way to the beach is a large waterfall pool surrounded by a tropical garden. As you continue on the quaint path to the beach, you may hear parrots in the trees or see an iguana sunbathing. The condo is only a short walk away from a number of beachfront restaurants that serve scrumptious seafood, and just across the street from “La Escollera”, a 5-star restaurant with a beautiful view and an infinity pool. A 5-minute drive takes you downtown to Zihuatanejo, where you will find a classic old Mexico style atmosphere with pedestrian-only streets, a wide range of eating/dining experiences and numerous “Tiendas de Artesanías” Mexicanas (Mexican handcraft boutiques/stores).

Why the Owner Chose Zihuatanejo
I purchased this property in Zihuatanejo because this fisherman town is a place I've visited since childhood. It's magical and full of beauty and adventure. I spent my honeymoon here and raised my two wonderful daughters with strong roots to the area. I have seen the town grow from a tiny village to a resort town over the last 30 years. I still discover new coves and secluded beaches during each visit.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Ixtapa is only a 15-minute drive from the condo and offers all of the resort-style activities. There are 2 Pete Dye golf courses, shopping (high-end boutiques), restaurants, large 4-5 Star Hotels, bike paths and rentals, and ample night life. The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for relaxation or adventure. Our favorites include:
•Playa Las Gatas is a small cove with a white sand beach and crystal-clear water. Within walking distance from the condo and great for snorkeling (but avoid weekends).
• Barra de Potosi is a 30-minute drive south down the coast. We recommend kayaking in the mangrove lagoon, which is teeming with wildlife, and the beachfront palapa-roof restaurants owned by local fisherman, where you can enjoy a hammock, a cold beer and a delicious “Pescado a la Talla” with tortillas and frijoles.
• Troncones and Saladitas is 40 minutes north on the road to Lázaro Cardenas. Both of these beaches are a surfer’s dream; rentals and lessons are available at the Inn at Manzanillo Bay (and don’t forget to try their tequila).
Great long queint and secluded (not on weekends) beach. The lagune is a great place to kayak and explore Tropical vegetation and wild life. The local restaurnts are queint with hamocks and the best"P
