This one of a kind property is located in the of resort and fishing village of Zihuatanejo.

Every bedroom has glass doors and shutters and a beautiful view to the bay.

There is also a very large private deck area with loungers that will help you unwind, umbrellas to get enough shade while sunbathing, a seating area for entertaining and watching marvelous sunsets while sipping drinks, and enjoying the Bali-bed that ensures absolute relaxation.
You can also enjoy a private dip pool. At night you can adjust the lighting according to your mood, and the stars in the sky will amaze you!

Great location and accomodation for 2 couples to get away.

Property has stunning views of the harbor. Very quiet. 8 minute walk to the beach(maybe a bit more on the way back up). AC was a bit quirky. Pool and bbq area has some of the nicest views. Staff were helpful. thanks to Lynda and Augustino!

Great vibes and a spectacular view

We loved our stay in this charming and well appointed condo. This is a very well thought out living space with lovely interior design that is comfortable and chic. It is quite close to La Ropa beach if you can tear yourself away from the spectacular views of the bay. We also liked and utilized the air conditioned gym in the building as well as the large pool and palapa area. Also noteworthy are the kind and helpful staff that are always around if you should need any help.

Heavenly

Fantastic property! The lodging was our vacation… meaning we could have just stayed in Casa 1 the entire time and would have still enjoyed the trip. You can hear the waves crash on Playa del Ropa and see them from the room. The beds were comfy (although the linens were pretty scratchy and undesirable). The property owner (Carlos) was very accommodating, the service staff was great and responsive… but if I was looking for something to complain about, I found the property manager to be a bit daft and not great at her job. Never saw her again afte the first day so all was great. Zihuatanejo, was incredible. We are like royalty for about 35 bucks a meal for two. I wish my Spanish was better, but the people worked with us and were super friendly. In short… We can’t wait to come back!

AMAZING EVERYTHING

Look no further if you're looking for an incredible, scenic, well appointed home with a patio to die for! Infinity pool is just outside the front door as well. Quiet, peacful serenity is how we describe this perfect home in Zihuatanejo ❤️. We came to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Zihuatanejo after a trip inland Mexico in Guanajuato, which was also amazing. Carlos is a GREAT host! Always responds quickly with answers to questions and with several staff on site, our needs were always met, and with a smile and generous spirit. This home is nothing short of FABULOUS! We look forward to coming again and again! The beds, both King size were extremely comfortable. The furniture was all comforable! The woodwork - gorgeous and the art and tastefulness was Extrodinary! A quick 5 minute walk to La Ropa Beach where you'll find eateries, and more eateries, massages, local shops and gorgeous views from the house and beach. Taxis to town were about 70 pesos and quick whenever we needed. Just a perfect place! By far our favorite place we've stayed in, and we've stayed in places all over the world. Thank you Carlos, for offering such a treat to travelers wanting to experience a high quality home!

25th anniversary celebration.

Great property. Great experience. The walk to the beach was about 7 minutes down a very steep hill. We did the walk back to the property several times but occasionally we took a cab. Cab service to and from the property was cheap and very efficient. Security and housekeeping was great. Restaurants within walking distance were fantastic. For the nights where we made our own meals, the common area was perfect. The view of the sunset from the property was incredible. We are very pleased with the stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

We cannot say enough about this place. It is heaven on earth. From the staff’s prompt and thorough communication and detailed care, the luxury of casa 1 and the grounds, the incredible view and then to the surrounding beach town with all the venues and wonderful hospitality from the locals, this was a dream come true for me and my husband!

Paradise

The serenity Casa 1 was absolutely beautiful, and the views were breath taking from every corner. From one of the bedrooms it allowed you to see the ocean, and with the doors open you could fall asleep to the sound of the waves. There is A/C available in the bedrooms, but we found that it was more than comfortable to leave the doors open and the breeze was sufficient. The kitchen is more than well equipped for making your own meals. A coffee pot ( yeah brewed coffee😃😃) The staff were absolutely amazing and were there to help you with anything you needed. Jade was so sweet and made check in fun! We were even able to get in a little earlier than check in. Even if that wasn’t the case - our bags were looked after and we had the use of the common area while we waited. We absolutely would stay here again. So much so that I have already booked our next stay ! Thank you Carlos and to all the staff for an amazing 1st stay in Zihautanejo

Gorgeous condo in great location

Serenity 1 in the Ensueno 10 condo complex exceeded our high expectations. Spacious indoor and outdoors with plenty of areas to lounge. View of the bay is spectacular in this convenient location above Zihuatanejo's best beach, La Ropa. Carlos the owner and his administrator were always available and accommodating. We had Carlos' recommended chef in one evening and the meal and presentation was high end restaurant quality. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to return.
