Gorgeous View of LaRopa Beach

Cares Melt Away While Dreams Come True at La Vida.... La Vida is 'The Life' And you will realize it as soon as you set down your bags, breathe in the ocean air of the tropics, and enjoy the spectacular view.
From the morning's first rays of light peeking over the mountains to the last glowing embers of the sun slipping into the sea, a panoramic bird's eye view is yours and is truly stunning.
One of the nicest features of this spacious 2 bedroom condo are the stacking glass doors spanning the entire front living area and when open offers an unobstructed view of the gentle, curving bay of Zihuatanejo. Casa La Vida's special location provides excellent vistas but is located very close to the protected bay. Enjoy great swimming and snorkeling without all the crowds.
You will feel like you are on top of the world but the soft, golden sand is only steps away from your door.
Inside Casa La Vida, the outstanding amenities include king size beds with mattresses that are truly comfortable. Lots of pillows and sumptuous Egyptian cotton sheets. This adds to the pleasure of being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves lapping at the shore. Wake in the master bedroom in what could be described as an infinity bed, another spectacular view of the bay with the ocean beyond. The guest bedroom also has a comfortable king and opens to a small private terrace.
You will enjoy preparing meals in our sparkling new, quality crafted kitchen. Granite counter tops provide ample room and modern appliances include a refrigerator providing cold, drinkable water and ice at the push of a button. In fact you can feel confident about drinking water from all the taps as the entire complex has a state of the art water filtration system.
Both bathrooms are quite luxurious, huge showers feature built in marble benches and the towels are thick and fluffy.
The restful breezes of the bay are always pleasant but if you want to cool down a bit more, there are fans and quiet air conditioning in all rooms.
When leaving the condo you can feel secure. There is a built in safe for your valuables and the building has electronic locked gates, an intercom system and private elevator.
At the beach you can engage in a multitude of sun, sea and sand activities or you can just leisurely stroll along the waters edge. The many beachfront restaurants allow you to enjoy quite an assortment of gourmet culinary delights while wiggling your toes in the sand. A different dining experience for each day of the week is possible. Some of our favorites are Paty's where fresh fruits and vegetables accompany a large variety of seafood and traditional Mexican dishes. Try a glass of fresh squeezed orange,papaya or pineapple juice with breakfast. Paty's also offers morning yoga classes upstairs.Friendly waiters, Arturo and Raul are always happy to see you.
Arrive in late afternoon and you will have the opportunity to catch Happy Hour at one of the many breezy palapa restaurants along La Ropa beach. What better way to unwind from a long flight than drop off your bags at the condo and head for the beach?
The Coconut shrimp at Elvira's is heavenly and the after dinner Kahlua and cream is a nice touch. La Perla is a little farther down the beach, the breezy open-air bar stocks different varieties of tequila just right for sipping or made into one of the best Margaritas on the beach.
Second only to the view from La Vida's terrace, the beach restaurants are all wonderful spots to watch the sunset.
There are also many things to do just a taxi drive away. Many of the drivers speak excellent English and arrangements can be made for quick trips or all day excursions.
Some of the water activities you can enjoy on the bay are jet skis, kayaks, parasailing or riding the banana boat.For something extra special, book a snorkeling or sunset cruise on the catamaran The Picante. Even water skiers get out on the bay in the mornings when the surf is calm. There are open aire tents at the motels on the beach for massage. It's a very relaxing treat to be pampered with the sound of the waves, the soft breeze and skilled hands.
Ixtapa (just over the hill)offers the nightlife and there are two top notch golf courses. While Troncones (about a 45 min. drive )is popular for surfing and long quiet stretches of beach to gather shells or stop in at one of the many restaurants for lunch or just a cool drink.
When you stay at the Casa La Vida you are part of an exclusive complex of only 6 units. Some of the other residents are there full time, there are no crowds. Respect for the tranquility and privacy enjoyed by all is of the utmost importance. Casa La Vida is a non-smoking condo. The tranquil nature of La Vida is such that it is more suited to adults, we do not allow children under sixteen.
Check-in time is 3pm Check-out time is 12:00, If you have a late flight you are welcome to store your luggage and use the pool, there is a shower, bathroom and changing area.
Our large infinity pool is never crowded and is located down a short path just below the condo. It's a great location to take a quick dip, lounge the day away or celebrate with a toast at sunset. Another wonderful day in paradise.
Bienvenidos a 'La Vida'

Unforgettable experience!

This was our first time in Zihuatanejo and at Casa La Vida, and wow what an experience! The condo is a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy your visit to Zih. There were so many things we loved about our stay: the amazing view from the bedroom, the refreshing morning and evening swims in the infinity pool, the memorable family time spent each evening in the open-air living room and patio, the help / tips we received from Rich and Filiberto to ensure everything went smoothly during our stay, and the great taxi service provided by Andres and his team.If you want an unforgettable experience then this is the place to stay.

Heaven on Earth

Very simply, one of the most awe-inspiring locations we have ever visited. I had a jaw-dropping impression upon arriving at the Casa, and when looking across the infinity pool to the picturesque Zihuatanejo Bay, my partner and I felt that we had literally hit the jackpot in choosing this VRBO. Each of the associated staff was extremely professsional and attentive and we had the most relaxing experience of our lives. Thank you so much, Rich, for everything you did and you do to make your villa an inviting and unforgettable home away from home. Sincerely, L and W.

Great Condo

Great property with a beautiful view! Thoroughly enjoyed our time around the wonderful infinity pool everyday in which we had to ourselves quite often. This condo was very comfortable, clean and loved the open breeze! Can’t say enough about Noe, the grounds keeper, always there if we needed something and very friendly. We loved our walks into Zihuatenejo each day, managing the steep hill and enjoyed some wonderful food. Thanks Rich for recommending some great restaurants in the area. All and all, this was a beautiful spot and will definitely be thinking of returning. Zihuatenejo is a beautiful place ♥️

Amazing View

The property was as advertised. The view was stunning. Indoor/Outdoor living was amazing. Stayed there for a week with my family. The 2 bedroom/2bath condo had everything needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The infinity pool was steps away from the unit. Loved the large waterfall showers in both bathrooms. Always had hot water and water pressure was great. The kitchen had everything to enjoy eating in. Close walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

Heaven Above La Ropa

We stayed 10 days at this glorious property. It easily has the BEST view of the bay, and I have been visiting Zihuatanejo for 20+ years. You will love the indoor/outdoor living, as we spent the majority of our time on the covered porch. The ceiling fans and ocean breezes, even on 90 degree days made the space lovely. This is an excellent spot for friends or couples, as the 2 bedrooms are comfortable with great beds and bathrooms for each suite. Additionally, because this is a smaller condo complex it was like having a private pool. I spent about 4 hours minimum at the pool each day. You will love the hand orange/lime squeezer which was perfect for our cocktails. This condo has everything you need. Sad to be home in rainy/cold WA, bit am rested and renewed from this blissful visit.

Perfect Getaway

This is our second stay at Casa Zih. As we are getting ready to make our way back to the far North, we are already making arrangements to return. Our condo is clean, modern and convenient to stores and restaurants. We prefer to eat most our meals in, so we love having a fully equipped kitchen. If you want a large all inclusive complex, this place is not for you. We share a pool with six other units, but most days we have the entire pool to our selves which is only a few steps from our front door. It's quiet and relaxing. The sunrises and sunsets are absolutely spectacular and it's a great place to watch the stars at night. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the beach where there are plenty of places to eat, swim or partake in other beach activities. Most importantly it's a gated complex and extremely secure and safe. The staff is awesome and we've been able to easily arrange rides to and from the airport as well as rides to the large grocery store, or able to arrange excursion anywhere. If you need a guide with someone who speaks English, that can be arranged.

Paradise Found

Wow! What a lovely two weeks. The condo is as nice as the photos suggest and the view cannot be adequately captured with a photo. We could barely tear ourselves away from chilling on that deck alternating with an occasional dip in the gorgeous swimming pool. Sunsets! Fabulous! The condo is well supplied with everything you need to enjoy your time. Rich could not have been nicer and the building manager, Filberto, met us personally on the first day to show us around and give us some hints about the area. He also provided us with the name and number of a delightful cab driver who always appeared as scheduled and then returned to pick us up again. Though the unit is situated near the top of a rather challenging hill, it is easy and inexpensive to get a cab back from the beach or from Zihuatenejo. We took the hill as an opportunity for exercise and we walked everywhere. It is a 15 or 20 minute walk to Zihua and a five or six minute walk down to the beach where you will find lots of wonderful beachside dining. We suggest La Gaviota. The food, presentation, and service are all first rate. Thank you, Rich! It was a joy to vacation in your bit of paradise.

Highly recommended Home away from Home

Check-in: Rich had us arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport which we felt special and like the royals. We had only stayed in resorts and hotel before so we came to know that getting an address and plugging it in Google maps does not work 😆 Thank you Rich for entertaining our call and explaining this to us. You are provided with a code to get in to the property Cleanliness: The property is very clean. We were there for 2 weeks and had cleaning in the middle of our stay. Accuracy of Online Listing: The pictures shown on the listing is very accurate to the actual place and more. The place is gorgeous with the living room opens up to the balcony and overlooking La Ropa and the bay. Overall: We had our two adult kids with us and we enjoyed our stay so much. We hope to stay again in the future. This place is highly recommended. The condo is just 10 steps away from the infinity pool. It is great to lounge in the water during hot afternoon or even in the evening. The area is a 5 min walk to the La Ropa beach. You will find good restaurants there like La Perla and Triton. You can take a taxi or collectivo to the town. There are also lots of restaurants you can find there. We enjoyed resturants such as La Papa Loca for authentic tacos, AnYs for pozoles, Carmilta’s for breakfast and fresh tortillas, Casanova for nice evening meal and entertainment (thank you Rich for your suggestion) and El Veijo for a nice evening meal as well run by a very friendly owner.

Best views in Zihua

We fell in love with this property the moment we walked out of the elevator. We arrived at sunset so that helped. Filiberto was very informative of the condo and the area. We were the only renters in the units so it felt like a private resort for just us. The pictures in the listing are stunning but do not do this unit justice. 10/10 would recommend. We will be back for sure!

Absolutely loved the place. Small complex ( only 6 units). We had the pool to ourselves the whole time. We walked everywhere but taxis are so inexpensive that’s a great option.

Amazing sunsets, beautiful condo, perfect pool, and Andreas completes your vacation

We spent our mornings on the open air terrace drinking coffee and watching the whales in the bay. And spent our days lounging in the infinity pool after a day at La Ropa beach. The sunsets from the terrace were absolutely beautiful. The condo is one of 6 in a building with a few full time residents as well as VRBO folks. We befriended all and had wonderful meals and conversations with our new friends. Our tour guide and driver, Andreas who is a local and would take us anywhere we wanted to go with 10 minute notice. A delightful person whom we depended on for excursions. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

Spectacular, can hardly wait to return!

The property is beautiful, clean, bright and spacious, taking full advantage of the breathtaking ocean views from this height. The high quality bedding, heavy wooden shutters and strong AC units ensure a wonderful night's rest every night. Beach is a steep 7-9 minute walk down which we chose to drive most days. Public parking is available near the beach as are taxi cabs. Rich was responsive and flexible and his house staff were equally attentive. This is one of the best VRBO experiences I have had and would highly recommend a stay at Rich's place at Casa Zih. I can hardly wait to return!

Beautiful condo with stunning views!

This is a large condo with a spectacular view of Playa La Ropa. If anything, the pictures do not do it justice! We loved the open air concept, from the living room out to the deck. We never closed the doors once in our whole time there, and we never needed to use the air conditioning. The kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils, and the washer / dryer worked great. There is tons of room, and lots of storage space, and the beds are very comfortable. This is a very private building, with only six units. We felt like we had the beautiful infinity pool to ourselves, and when we met other guests, they were usually long term residents, very friendly with lots of info about the area. Rich was easy to communicate with, and Filiberto and Noe were great. Would definitely recommend Casa Zih, although I should mention the walk up the hill from the beach is brutal. Most people take a taxi, which are plentiful all over Zihuatanejo, and cheap. Thanks Rich for providing us with such a comfortable home away from home. - James Brown

What makes this property unique

You can swim in the bay, walk everywhere and enjoy fresh gourmet meals at home or at any one of the casual restuarants near by.When we are at Casa La Vida, it is private, quiet and relaxing.And I honestly don't think there is a better place to enjoy the sunset than our own terrace.
