About this property

Beachfront Villa! Escape to this luxurious property 5 bedrooms, with chef & pool

Casa de Arte has been a secret hideaway for actors, musicians, writers, and A list celebrities. The large property sits on 50 meters of beach front, located on 8 miles of white sand beach called Playa Blanca and a mile from the quaint village of Barra de Potosi. The compound includes a beautiful 60' large pool overlooking the ocean and multiple casitas for an extravagant and relaxing stay. Shaded by coconut palms, this tropical paradise was designed by Enrique Zozaya, the preeminent architect in Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa.

The property is a 12 minute drive from Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa International Airport, and 20 minutes to Zihua. Airport pick up is available, if needed.

5 Bedrooms. 5 Baths, Sleeps 10
Each guest room sleeps 2. In rooms 1 and 2, the beds can be used as singles or as a single king size bed. In rooms 3 & 4 the beds are king size. The Cinema has 2 fold out couches.
Staff includes: on site manager, 2 housekeepers , 1 chef

The 30 foot high Palapa is the largest in Playa Blanca. The dining room table is under the palapa and comfortably seats 12-14.

50 x 100 meters property on a soft sand beach
Privacy 3 meter walls around the property
Large single 60' level pool overlooking the ocean.

The property is filled with statues and art from artists and craftsmen throughout Mexico. A quick look at the attached pictures will tell the story.

Beach dining in Barra de Potosi, a fishing village with 300 residence 1.5 miles from the house.

Other activities that can be arranged:
Massages at home, or at a local spa
Horseback riding on the beach
Turtle release at the Turtle Sanctuary
Ocean tours and Mangrove tours
Ocean fishing boat trip

Arrange a trip to Zihuatanejo, 20 minutes away or to Ixtapa, 35 minutes away

Barra de Potosi is a fishing village with approximately 300 people just south of the home. In Barra de Potosi you can eat fresh caught fish with your feet in the sand 30 feet from the ocean.

The Lagoon surrounding Barra de Potosi attracts bird watchers and the Audubon Society does bird counts in the lagoon once every year. You can rent a boat and spend an hour or 2 in a fantastic bird sanctuary.

If you care to fish or whale watch or to just take a pleasure trip, boats with local captains are available. We will arrange the booking for you.

Barra de Potosi has at least 10 Enramada or thatched roof restaurants where you sit on the sand while you eat. People make a day out of it, lounging for hours, eating and swimming in the ocean, just steps away from the restaurants. The little town also has a charming restaurant called Doña Emy's for classic Mexican home cooking, and a new cafe/bar called O'Ridleys Tortuga Bar.

There are many restaurants just north of the property, less than a mile away. They serve lunch and dinner and are great for big groups. Chula Vida and Lagartos are two of our favorites. We can organize reservations. The cuisine includes fresh caught fish, vegetables, salad, and cocktails. All safe to eat!

If you are planning to travel into Zihuatanejo or Ixtapa (which we recommend!), our manager Armando will be happy to arrange for a taxi or a larger vehicle. We also recommend renting a car from Ixtapa International Airport to get around Playa Blanca and travel into the city.

Great Experience All Around

This was the perfect spot to spend a week celebrating a birthday and reuniting with university friends. If you're looking for a place that's quiet and away from the hubbub of Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo, this is the perfect location, just 10-15 minutes from the airport. An exclusive oasis with access to the beach where you can just sit back and relax. The on-site manager and his wife were present to help with anything we wanted (including airport transportation and daily room servicing), but only around when we needed them, working in the background. Additionally, access to a private chef completed the whole stay and allowed us to just kick back, eat, and drink to our hearts' desires. The only additional comment I would make is regarding the WiFi. It is present and accessible all over the property, from the pool to the rooms as advertised and we had connections the entire stay, but I would caution anyone seeking to do "heavy work" whilst on location -- it may not be at speeds you're used to at your home or office, so maybe just plan to check out from work during your stay and enjoy the view! Thanks to the entire team for an amazing stay and we all can't wait to return.

Vacaciones de 10

La casa es muy bonita, el personal es muy atento, en todo momento guardan las normas de sana distancia y uso de cubrebocas. Eli nos preparó siempre una comida deliciosa y Armando nos llevó todo lo que necesitamos del super; no tuvimos que preocuparnos por nada. La playa con muy poca gente. Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia.

Mejor, imposible!!!

La casa es maravillosa y está decorada con un fino y prudente gusto que incluye una enorme muestra de arte muy significativo de México. Eli, (la chef) y Armando, (El administrador) son el complemento perfecto para esta maravillosa casa, cuya vista, privacidad y diferentes espacios son inigualables!. Fue el primer lugar a donde salimos despues de iniciada la pandemia y quisiéramos volver muchas veces más, porque tuvimos una estancia increible. Gracias a Peter, el dueño y a todo el grupo de colaboradores, por hacer de nuestra estadia un verdadero placer!

About the host

Host profile image
I met my wife Karen 40 years ago in Los Angeles. We have 2 grown sons, Taylor and Dexter. Taylor is married and Dexter is engaged. Karen and I discovered Playa Blanca 11 years ago. We fell in love with the warm water ocean, fabulous sunsets, soft sand beach and friendly people in our tiny fishing village.

Why they chose this property

We spent some time finding the right lot, 50meters x 100m, and the right architect, Enrique Zozaya. We worked with Zozaya for a year and then built our home. The design was beautiful. The construction is better than I have experienced in Los Angeles. Everything is concrete and therefore very quiet inside the bedrooms.

What makes this property unique

We designed the living space around a large pool and a very big palapa. We have enjoyed our home and use it with our family and friends all the time. We are sure that you will appreciate the beauty of the buildings, the magnificent views of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean and the wonderful meals which are available as needed.

The grounds are filled with Mexican artwork which we purchased on our many trips through Mexico.

Finally, you have found the ultimate place to chill out. I’m sure you will enjoy this unique vacation home as much as we do!
