Great time in Zihuatanejo

I believe if you have the courage to simply book this condo and purchase your airline tickets and pack your warm weather clothes and bathing suits, perhaps a Bluetooth speaker and that’s it, you will have the time of your life. Just show up and emerge yourself in this vibrant euro style neighborhood, and start the calming process. The condo is perfect, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms ample kitchen and quant living room with a big television and necessary entertainment apps. Internet connection is probably the weakest aspect of the experience, but it’s still adequate. The local restaurants are incredibly good and ridiculously convenient. Simply put, I’ll be back!!!

Great location

The location of the condo is perfect, close to restaurants and the beach. The security in building is great, very secure and safe. Amenities in the condo were very good and well stocked, it even came with some beer, condiments, coffee etc. Water was supplied at the desk too. Which was very easy to get it refilled. Everyone staying there was friendly. The staff is very polite and the grounds well taken care of. The beds in the condo were very comfortable, the bathrooms very clean. We were very pleased. We would recommend to others and we may return one day.

Perfect central location

This condo is a beautiful and secure building in the Madera district surrounded by quickly accessible excellent restaurants. Very short walk to the beach or to the Zihua waterfront. We had a great time, met a bunch of nice people - both residents and tourists. Highly recommend.

Loved this condo.

I booked this property when the original property we booked nobody showed up to meet us or, let us in. However, Jennifer was so fantastic when I booked her condo. She kept in touch with us everyday until we checked in. When we arrived here Vanessa, the property manager greeted us and thats when my partner broke down in tears. Because of the stress of not having a place to stay 1800 miles away from home, we feel very fortunate to have found this place. VRBO owes all of their patrones more accountability when this happens. If it weren't for this condo, our vacation would have been ruined. I can never thank Jennifer and her husband enough. Turned into a fantastic time all thanks to them. Do better VRBO M

The casita was beautiful and centrally located.

We loved staying at Jennifer’s casita. Very nice to have two bedroom/bathrooms for four adults. Kitchen was fully equipped and the location was super easy for heading to the beach or out for dinner. Vanessa (manager) was always there for us and was extremely efficient. The condo was very clean and well kept by both the groundskeeper and the folks who cared for our home cleanliness weekly. Overall a great place to stay and we would love to come back!

Madera Neighborhood

We have traveled to Zihua many times and stayed in several different locations, the Madera area fits the best for us. Easy walking to the beach and downtown with so many good restaurants to choose from. We did have our daughter and 5 year old granddaughter stay with us for a week and the pool area is not overly welcoming for kids. Yes, they allow access with no restrictions but some of the regulars make you feel uncomfortable. All in all we enjoyed the property and plan to return for a longer stay in 2023.

Perfect spot

We really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer and Kevin's condo. From the start, when I first booked it, Jennifer was very helpful with answering my questions. During the first week, the coffee maker broke and we had a new one same day. The location in Madera is great, we have always stayed on La Ropa. Our stay here has made us converts. Everything including restaurants, beaches, downtown, shopping etc was very convenient. The only thing I would change is to have a lamp next to the sofa, on the built in side table, allowing one to read there without turning on overhead lighting. Great place. We will be back. Thank you for everything.

Small problem with the check which was resolved quickly. Great location close to every thing you would need , restaurants, beaches, laundry. A 15 minute walk to town which still has a traditional Mexican vibe. Would definitely return.

Home Away From Home

The site is an oasis. The gated pool area is lush with plants and shade. Lounging is peaceful with good wifi and a warm pool. The residents are friendly once you get to know them. Our condo was spacious, but the open living room and kitchen ( no windows or walls on the view side ) allows for humidity and street noise to enter. With the feels-like temperature of 40+C we were too warm at times. The bedrooms had A/C. Vanessa, the general manager was very helpful, efficient and resourceful. Madera Bay is a gentle 4 minute walk away and Centro is 10-15 minutes. We always felt safe. Playa La Ropa is beautiful and provides a work out hike of 20 minutes duration. Zihuatanejo and areas are wonderful vacation places with many cafes and restaurants. Prices are well below Canadian standard pricing and the servers are fun and responsive. One can lounge under shade on the beach for a minimum of one $2 beer. The ocean is the warmest we have ever entered, including Hawai’i.

Beautiful Property

Property was beautiful and a perfect location. Vanessa was great, answered all our questions. The unit was clean and the open air main area was fun. The pool was very clean and would have been great to enjoy and cool down after long days in town and on the beach, however after a few days we did not use it as the owners next door made it very clear that we were not welcome. Unfortunately, we will not stay here again due to the negativity we received from them.

Beautiful, clean and safe place to stay!

This was a great place to stay in Zihua! It was very clean and well maintained. Beautiful pool area and overall appeal. We especially loved the open air concept of the living and dining area! We did however like that there was air conditioning in the bedrooms for a cooler night sleep. The overall experience was amazing. We will be back and will rent this condo again!

Great Honeymoon spot

We spent 7 nights at Casa Bella Mia and fell in love with this little piece of paradise. The pool was fantastic and cleaned daily. The daily upkeep of the condo was nice. Inside the unit there were plenty of dishes to cook with. There were plenty of towels to be able to take to the beach with us and we loved the assortment of hats left in the unit to use. It was an easy walk to downtown that we would make daily to explore. Our first day there we went straight to the beach, it was nice how close the beach was. The next door restaurant Margheritas was a nice place to grab our morning coffee and breakfast (we loved the coffee). Vanessa was our contact person and she was easy to work with, she even had beer there ready for us to celebrate our honeymoon and she also had water too of course. The air conditioning inside the rooms was nice to be able to come back home to and turn on when we were ready for bed. We can't wait to plan our next trip to stay at Casa Bella Mia!!

Great place to stay! Very clean, comfortable beds, all household amenities provided. Wonderful place

The open air living room lends to a very relaxing atmosphere. The authentic Mexican decor is comfortable and welcoming. Loved the fact that the ocean front was less than two blocks away. Beautiful family friendly beach. There are two restaurants across the street from the complex with many more within a two block radius, as well as a taxi pick up area and lots of shopping. The downtown streets are just a 20 minute walk and then you can walk along the beach front back to Casa Bella Mia. A swim in the condo’s pool before bedtime makes this place a place we want to go back to many times over. Thanks Kevin & Jennifer for the wonderful stay.

This was our third year in a row going to Zihuatanejo and Casa Bella Mia and grounds at Casa Cieba Condominiums helped make this the best trip yet. Two blocks from the beach, 5 blocks to downtown and more than a dozen great restaurants with a 5 minute walk. The apartment was incredibly comfortable and we always felt secure. Also the other owners at Casa Cieba were very helpful and always willing to answer our questions or give good advice. If you are looking for a great place to stay a great price than look no further than Casa Bella Mia. It will keep you coming back for more. Edward Packer 4/12/18

We loved the ambience and privacy of CasaBella Mia set in a tropical garden setting. The unit is spacious and overllooks the swimming pool and entrance, VANESSA WELCOMED US AND EXPLAINED ALL ASPECTS OF OUR UNITAND WAS AVAILABLE WHEN WE NEEDED INFORMATION. We felt we were in a comfortable resort but close to the beach and several good restaurants,cafes and public transport and taxis were handy. casa ceiba is close to the centre of town and shopping opportunities. We met several of the other owners and guests like us which was a bonus.The overall experience was like a home away from home

Lovely quiet retreat in the heart of Zihua

Bella Mia served us well for a week’s stay in Zihua. We were looking to be close to Madera Beach and to the great restaurants located in that area. This was a great location and the residents were super helpful and friendly. The staff were also very helpful. The unit itself was clean and well equipped for cooking in, although we were a little disappointed that there was no outside barbecue. The best part for me was the pool, which we spent a lot of time in because the temperature was unusually hot & humid for late October. I am only taking off a star because of the lack of barbecue and lack of air conditioning in the kitchen/living room area. Could have used that air conditioning the week we visited.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Jennifer Herron

Host profile image
On our first trip to Zihuatanejo, we fell in love! We set out with our realtor to look at everything and ended up coming right back to the place we were staying while househunting. Casa Ceiba is very well known, safe, secure and a well managed complex. It was a very easy decision to make this location a regular part of our lives.
Great Restaurants are within walking distance and Playa Madera, the local beach is a three minute walk. We loved the pool area and the tropical grounds are very well maintained.

Why they chose this property

This one checks all the boxes! Being able to stay at a friendly, secure and well managed complex for short or long term stays becomes very affordable at Casa Ceiba. You don't need a car because we are so close to the beach but you don't pay an ocean front price to stay.

What makes this property unique

This third level spacious open air living, dining and kitchen penthouse with air conditioned bedrooms overlooks a beautiful blue pool. There are approximately twenty restaurants within a fifteen minute walk and the price of food and beverages here are within anyone's budget. Three beaches are available to spend the day at. Madera Beach is only a three minute walk. This is a fishing village and you can purchase the days catch, cook it that night or take it to a local restaurant and they will prepare it. Massages on the beach are an incredible value! Taxi rides are about $3 within the city to and from most locations. This is a very affordable escape!
