The owners of Casa Paraiso have been married since 1967. Over the years they have raised two children (currently enjoying their five grandchildren), and built a successful construction management and real estate investment company.
In the late 1990’s they began looking for a winter retreat. After exploring as far afield as South Africa, New Zealand and Costa Rica, they settled on trying to find the perfect place with the convenience and ambiance of Mexico. For three years they chartered a boat and for weeks at a time they would explore the Baja coastline and the mainland coast from Keeno Bay to Huatulco.
Each year brought them back to Zihuatanejo, drawn in by the warmth of the traditional village experience, with the most beautiful natural bay on the Riviera of Mexico. Each year they visited it became more difficult to leave.
During their times here, they became friends with a local landowner and the well known Mexican architect, Enrique Zozaya.
Enrique designed, and as is customary in Mexico, built the home as well. After a year of construction, primarily hand labor, Casa Paraiso was completed on budget and more beautiful than the owner’s could have imagined.
Over the years, the many weeks spent in this beautiful place with family and friends, has provided them a touchdown in paradise.
They love the outdoors and any activity that gets them outside. Along with their love of fishing they enjoy hiking, boating, bird watching, spending time with their dogs and working on their small urban farm. As parents and grandparents they enjoy time with family both at home and together in their Zihuatanejo paradise.
