Location: Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (Just south of Ixtapa on 9 miles of secluded shoreline.)
Accommodations: Zihuatanejo Vacation Villa, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Our vacation home lies on a beautiful and unspoiled stretch of secluded sandy shoreline 20 miles south of Zihuatanejo. If getting away from the crowds and high-rise hotels is your idea of a real vacation, search no further. Feast your eyes on a newly constructed beachfront Vacation Rental.
The upstairs houses the master bedroom with a king size bed, a front balcony, a rear balcony and a full bath with shower. The guest bedroom has two single beds and a full bath with shower. The second guest bedroom has two single beds (trundle)and a full bath with shower. All villa bedrooms face the magnificent pool and over 60,000 sq. ft. of well-manicured lawns & tropical gardens. Downstairs features a living and dining room with a palapa covered terrace overlooking the extravagant scenery.
The Villa accommodations combine all the modern day amenities with the contact of nature through its nearby lagoons, mountains, and coconut plantations as well, of course, with the sea. This vacation rental takes you away from the mainstream tourism and gives you a chance to enjoy the real Mexico. What's more, this still secret vacation villa is only 15 minutes from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa International Airport and a $25.00 cab fare into downtown Zihuatanejo.
The controlled access community shares the 'vanishing' pool, with only a short span of grass and white sand separating you from the gentle lapping of the waves of the deep blue Pacific Ocean. You can hear them calling out from the quiet and solitude of what is Zihuatanejo's Playa Blanca to send you to a state of total relaxation.
Many "beach" rentals offer you a "view" of the sea and a one to two block walk to the ocean. At our beach villa you are close enough to hear the waves breaking nearby and smell the salt air while you enjoy unsurpassed views of the Pacific. You can almost feel the mist of the ocean air against your face. Directly in front of our vacation home lays the grandness of Playa Blanca.
Kilometer upon kilometer of waves and white sand still untouched by modern trappings. From your palapa covered porch watch frolicking dolphins and migrating whales. Marvel at the grace of the giant frigate birds and the effortless glide of the numerous pelicans. At our villa, you will learn why Zihuatanejo was the dream destination of Tim Robbin's character in 'The Shawshank Redemption.' Come experience all the reasons you vacation "On the Beach"... Leave your cares at home and relax at Villa Playa Blanca.
If you're looking for Mexican authenticity, the sort found in a small fishing village with paradaisical sands, simply take a stroll to the end of Playa Blanca to Barra de Potosi. If you love and respect nature, you will love La Barra. If it is tranquility and a place away from the crowds that you seek, you will love La Barra. If it is a stretch of clean and isolated beach interrupted only by its wildlife, you will love La Barra. If you want a Gin Fizz, fancy shops, and the like, it will not be for you.
What you can find here are countless "enramadas" (palm thatched covered restaurants) lining the beach and mangrove-covered lagoon where you can relax in a hammock, have a drink and enjoy fresh seafood at extremely reasonable prices. You can kayak on the bay or in the lagoon, horseback ride on the beach or explore a part of the jungle on the other side of the hill.
You can take a guided boat tour of the large estuary and see the salt-producing flats and many exotic forms of local wildlife including pink flamingos, roseate spoonbills, rare white pelicans, great blue herons and maybe even a caiman crocodile or two. Be sure to take plenty of film!

I believe there are 90,000 words in the english language (60,000 of which do not translate to Espanol) and I can't find the right ones to describe the pasr week! Dan and I have had some great vacations in the past that I refer to as "red letter" vacations. This week my friends was a Capital "RED LETTER WEEK"!
