About Georgina Michel
Growing up in Mexico I spend a lot of time at the beach. We would visit many beaches along the Pacific coast, but there is no doubt that Ixtapa is the perfect location for a family vacation! We finished building this house shortly after moving to NY for my husband's work. As much as we would like to spend many weekend there, we do not visit as often. However, we believe that houses that are well lived are also better kept, thus we decided to rent our little piece of paradise!
Georgina Michel purchased this House in 2013
Why Georgina Michel chose Ixtapa
We have spent many years traveling to Ixtapa, we even got married there! It is the perfect beach vacation to enjoy with family, friends, or in a romantic getaway! There are activities for everyone, the beach is peaceful, the locals are welcoming, the food is delicious and the weather can't be beat!

VRBO Bear Stay review
An amazing vacation
We had an amazing family vacation at Casa Jaguar. The home is gorgeous and the views and sunsets are spectacular. We enjoyed many meals prepared by Adriana - breakfast, lunch and dinner and they were all delicious. Tonia and Iselda were a pleasure - always smiling and willing to do whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable. The home was spotless and very tastefully designed, no small details overlooked.
Thank you Georgina for our allowing us to share in your piece of paradise - you were also a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to any of our requests.
If you are a looking for a stress free vacation in a gorgeous home then look no further - we would highly recommend.
We are happy to hear you've enjoyed your time at our home! It is always a pleasure to share with our guests what we believe to be the perfect beach retreat for families, including the service and the details!
We look forward to hosting you again soon Lynda!
Gorgeous
Beautiful home and property with spectacular ocean views
We loved the pool and the outdoor living areas. Antonia and team were lovely to is and so helpful. Georgina was a fabulous host. We're already planning a return visit...
Great home. location and staff. Some non-working items. 5th bedroom is not as advertised
The Good:
Casa Jaguar is a gorgeous home in a spectacular, safe location with stunning views from every room. The house is beautifully designed with great attention to detail. The staff of three is wonderful. If you love home-made tortillas, ceviche, fresh fish, rice and beans. mole or other traditional Mexican fare, you are in for a treat. The food served at the home is fantastic.
The main floor consists of 4 large, air-conditioned bedrooms, kitchen, living room, outdoor dining room, lawn and pool area. Each bedroom has its own full bath, a large closet and more than one bed. Internet is available throughout the house.
The Bad:
Unfortunately, the upstairs (actually, up-ladder) bedroom - despite amazing views - is not worthy of this lovely home. There's no place to hang a towel or clothes (despite the listing stating that all bedrooms have closets). There's not even a mirror in the bathroom - to shave, you have to descend 2 flights to the well-lit bathroom in the basement. The "king-sized" bed is really two twin mattresses, so if you cuddle with your sweetie, someone will sleep uncomfortably on the crack. And the water in the shower sometimes slows to a literal trickle with no warning. There's also a room-wide step between the bathroom and bed. Because the step is at an angle to the bathroom, we each tripped several times, especially at night.
We chose this rental in large part because this home boasts a shaded, heated pool with a large shallow area for our youngsters and a swim-up bar for adults. We wrote the host in advance to ensure the pool was heated to our desired temperature, and the host graciously confirmed those arrangements a few days before our arrival. However, in the 10 days we were there, the heater never worked, and the pool was usually too cold for us to use it. {The adjacent narrow lap pool was unheated but 5 degrees warner because it is in the sun. It was fine for adults. However, the kids couldn't play there on the fun pool toys we brought because they would have hit their heads on the side of the pool when falling off. Also, that pool has no shallow area.)
The TV in the media room had no reception (confirmed by the owner after our arrival).
Dear Pamela, I appreciate you taking the time to review our property. I am happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay, particularly the food!
I am sorry you were disappointed by the upstairs bedroom. We are in the process of installing a mirror in the bathroom and of looking for alternatives for closets/clothes storage. However, I do remember letting you know that we recommend that room for young couples/adults specifically because of its location. I also described to you the steep boat-like ladder used as access. In the future I will make sure that guests understand the details of this unique bedroom.
Thank you again, and best of lucks!
Georgina
Excellent choice
Everything is excellent! The view is amazing and the service are great!
We hope to come back soon!
Great House and Location
Beautiful property and lovely location and staff although very little English spoken. Would do well to have a part time concierge to assist. Also tried to communicate with Owner multiple times via email but for some reason did not receive a response which is strange and certainly do not appreciate receiving a negative rating from her on our own traveler profile when we certainly tried to reach out multiple times! Luckily the very kind staff helped us.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at our property. We will recommend a translation app to our non-Spanish speaking guests in the future! It is funny how I am under the same impression you are! I also tried reaching out several times, responding to all your and your husband's emails and texts but heard nothing back from you. I am happy that you had a nice stay and that the staff was able to help with all your needs. Best of lucks!
Georgina
Amazing family vacation.
Everything was perfect--the staff, the home, the owners, the views, and of course the margaritas. We will definitely be back! Could not have dreamed of a better vacation.
Thank you Sajal! It was great hosting you and our family. We strive to give our guests a little taste of our family's favorite getaway! We'll be waiting for you!
