You can't beat it for a great condo in the best complex on La Ropa. Our prices include ALL TAX. No hidden surprises. No added on charges.
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, wireless Internet, local phone and cell phone. 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.

While we have visited many parts of Mexico over the years and on both sides,Zihuatanejo was our favorite. From the moment we stepped in the door of Casa d'Arte we knew it was going to be everything we hoped for. When renting over the internet and seeing photos of places, there's always that thought that the pictures were taken when the unit was brand new and will not really be like that any longer...not this place! We slept with the french doors of our room open every night of the two weeks we were there and felt completely safe. Waking up in the morning, seeing the view, crawling out of bed only to return to the huge patio/deck with a coffee was my favorite time of day. We ate our lunches and dinners out most days and Hotel Catalina was by far our favorite! Elvira's had amazing margaritas and our first night in Zihua was an encounter with happy hour there. Unfortunately the next day we were told there was no longer happy hour because of it being high season??? No problem, we just slid over to Paty's where they had happy hour every night! It was a popular spot. My husband and son went fishing with a local guide Their catch was cooked for them the next day at a restaurant on Las Gatas. We walked there along a well traveled path over the rocks and arrived on a extremely crowded and overrated beach, nothing worth returning twice for. On New Years eve we were treated to a spectacular fireworks show held on the beach which we watched from the deck of Casa d'Arte. We will be back!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

This a wonderful condo with views that are nothing short of spectacular. Great location above the beach if you like to take in the surf and the sand. Beautiful infinity pools overlooking the ocean right on the gorgeous grounds. Rarely do we find a property that not only meets our expectation be exceeds them as well. Casa d'Arte is one of the few properties that make you go wow this is awesome. Very well appointed unit that is spacious for two couples. Local area is safe and has plenty to see and do. Food choices abound along the beach and town is an easy walk or a very cheap cab ride away. Harriet the property manager is very responsive and a delight to work with. Only wish I was headed back sooner.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This is simply a great place to stay and take in the beauty of Playa de Ropa, Zihuatanejo. Spectacular view property that is a very (like very very) short walk to an amazing beach. Complex has two gorgeous infinity pools that are sparkling clean. Grounds are manicured to perfection. The unit itself is massive for two couples with a covered veranda/deck that again is huge. Equipped to perfection with everything a gourmet cook could want and wow did we eat. We also took in several of the great restaurants within walking distance. We walked to town two days. Easy and safe with no issues. Harriet the property manager is a delight and really made our stay that much better. Will return to be sure.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.

My family and I traveled to Zihuatanejo for a much needed vacation. What we found was paradise! The condo is fantastic with views that surpass any 5 star resort (the pictures don't even do it justice!). We found the staff friendly, the location ideal, and the condo full of any and every amenity we could possibly need while away from home. The property was in fantastic shape and very clean. It is clear that this condo is used as much for the owners personal use as for renting by the quality of the furniture and appliances (as well as how well it is stocked). The owners made it easy for us to show up and know where to go, what to do, and how to navigate the local customs - this was very helpful given that our children - ages 9 and 10 are better at Spanish than we are! Restaurants and beach were in walking distance as was the ability to take killer walks for exercise. We loved that. We will be returning!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

We just left this paradise a few days ago and we knew we'd go back! It was everything and more what the website displayed. This place is gorgeous! An avid googler and information seeker, I came across this website with a friend when seeking out the best place for two couples to enjoy 10 days of bliss. This was it. The manager, Harriet, happened to be there at the same time and what a delight she is. She put together a comprehensive guide for her guests that was gold In our pockets! Everything from good eats to shopping, you name it. Harriet manages three units in La Casa Que Ve Al Mar which includes her own Suenos Del Mar - also absolutely beautiful with amazing art and tasteful decor. Restaurants to visit (and there are plenty) are Tango's, Porto Il Mare, Lety's, Banditos to mention a few favorites. We will return (and soon, we hope)!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.

Sadly we just arrived home here in Canada on May 1st from Casa D'arte, and had a REALLY hard time sleeping last night. Not waking up to the fresh ocean air blowing in our room all night, and the comforting sound of the waves breaking down at Playa La Ropa makes living back here in the city a tough thing to do. Casa D'Arte is hands down the nicest place we have stayed at before. We have stayed at some other nice condos in Puerta Vallarta before (we were even upgraded to a penthouse before) and none of them compared to this place. The owner was right in that the pictures do not do it justice. You have to be there in person to take in the full experience with the warmth, the smells, the sounds, and of course the sights. Every morning I would wake up, walk out into the veranda area (where we spent most of our time when in the casa), and just laugh to myself every day. The condo itself is so incredibly beautiful, that my girlfriend joked that she wanted to pay the owners to fly up here to decorate our place for us. The craftsmanship, decorating, and all the beautiful art in this unit, make it a place that truly inspires. The little details in the place make it truly incredible and strangely, it seems that you grow a little more attached to this place every new day that you spend there. We used the air conditioning our first night that we arrived as we were fresh off of the plane and not aclimatized. We never used it again for the rest of the trip. We just opened the bedroom doors to the veranda and let the ocean breeze come in, and the sound of the waves. It was very very comfortable. I have never had such good sleeps in my life. The location is perfect in my opinion. Its a bit of a hike into town, or you can just grab a cab ($3) or bus (.50 cents). The walk is nice, and takes about 15-20 mins depending on where you are going. There is a nice boardwalk along the beaches you can take about half way as well that takes you rigth into town, if you dont want to walk along the road (it's a much nicer walk going this way). The staff at the building, and all the people staying there, both full timers and visitors were all great people. The town of Zihu is a quant little sleepy and friendly town, and Casa D'arte is a perfect base location to stay at to explore all the surroundings (although even just staying in the Casa is all you really need for a little R&R). Cindy and Harriet were very friendly and accomodating, and Harriet's guide is top notch - very helpfull!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children, age 55+.

Just wanted to let you know that our stay as Casa d’Arte certainly exceeded our expectations. The weather was outstanding, the beach was incredible, the community was delightful and the condo was simply the best. We spent most of our time on the spacious deck lounging in the hammocks enjoying a good book. We were up early every morning (unusual for my wife) to enjoy the magnificent view. When we did drag ourselves away, we found your recommended restaurants at the beach were certainly excellent for lunch. Just a short inexpensive taxi ride to town & we enjoyed more delightful restaurants for the evening. Your instruction manual/guide was extremely helpful and made our stay that much more enjoyable. We ate out much more that we usually do - selected places from your guide and were never disappointed. The condo staff were great and a special thanks to Sergio at the security gate. What a pleasant, helpful gentleman! We plan to come back soon.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thanks so much! We love it when people have great vacations and enjoy our place as much as we do. We hope all our guests walk in and say wow, this is fantastic! It's so much better than the internet! -- Cindy

Casa D'Arte was exactly what we two busy professional couples needed for a thoroughly relaxing getaway. Their website gave us a very good idea of what to expect, but despite all the photos we weren't prepared for how beautiful a place it and Zihuatanejo. We received a great price and above-and-beyond-excellent service from Harriet in preparing for our trip; thanks to her detailed guides we had no worries and could fully relax both before and during the trip. We strongly recommend this lovely rental and hope to return soon. If you're like us, you don't need to do anything special. Just enjoy the condo, its amazing terrace, and the infinity pools in the complex. Or stroll down the hill 5 minutes, plant your toes in the sand under a palapa, and enjoy another great, inexpensive meal at Paty's. We did go out for one fancy meal we would strongly recommend at La Casa Que Canta. We also had good dinners at the Tides and Kau Can. Hot tip: if you arrive late, The Tides is a fancy but worry-free first stop for an after dark dinner. We traveled in mid-October and only had rain overnight two nights. The days were perfect. *sigh* It's too soon to go on vacation again, huh? Darn. More...Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We walked in the door and our first reaction was a ?"jaw-dropping wow"! The unit is beautifully ?decorated with bright colors and as we walked ?through the unit to the large, shaded terrace the ?view was stunningly magnificent. We could hardly ?drag our eyes away. The unit is very comfortable ?with AC which we only used in the bedroom at night.??At the condo, we spent almost all our time on the ?beautiful and quite large terrace with wi-fi, hammocks, lounge chairs, bar-b-cue grill, ceiling ?fan and beautiful ocean breezes.??The staff at the condo, Casa Que Ve al Mar, are ?helpful and delightful. We practiced our limited ?Spanish with the security guards and we all enjoyed ?doing that.??We found no need to rent a car as it was a short 10 ?minute walk down to Playa La Ropa where we spent ?our days at Patty's. Taxi cabs are plentiful, ?inexpensive and almost every driver was delightful.??We found Harriet's guide to Zihauatanejo to be ?extremely helpful in every way as this was our ?first trip to Zihau. Harriet's guide contains ?recommendations for restaurants, shopping, ?sightseeing, what to bring, and answers just about ?every question you might have.Did you find this review helpful?

The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
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, a bbq grill, 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.
