Our home lies on a beautiful secluded beach just 10 min south of Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa airport called Playa Blanca. We are villa 4 of 24 villas in a 2 acre gated complex that offers 24 hour security. This private piece of paradise gets you away from the crowds and high-rise hotels for a real vacation escape. Keep in touch with unlimited wifi, close enough to the tourist action when desired but away from it all for quiet relaxing stay. The Villa; Upstairs houses the master bedroom with a king size bed, a front balcony, a rear balcony and a full bath with shower. The second bedroom upstairs has a king bed that converts into a two single bed configuration with its own full bath with shower. The third bedroom on the main floor also has a king/2 twin option and a full bath with shower. All villa bedrooms face the pool and 2 acres of manicured lawns and tropical gardens as well as the beach and ocean. Main floor features a living room w/ 2 couches and a chair to enjoy the 50" TV with dvd player, dining table for 6-8, fully appointed kitchen (my husband loves to cook!) and our favourite place, the palapa covered patio housing the bar and beer fridge with the ocean and pool view! The Beach; At our villa you are close enough to hear the waves breaking nearby and smell the salt air while enjoying unsurpassed views of the Pacific. 10 miles of secluded white sand beach. From our palapa covered terrace or the infinity pool watch dolphins playing in the surf and migrating whales breeching in the bay. The Area: The villa accommodations combined with its location takes you away from the mainstream tourist area and gives you a chance to enjoy Mexico. The local people and community give you that "small town" feeling and treat you like friends or family. Simply take a stroll to the end of Playa Blanca to Barra de Potosi. Here you will find a few small stores and countless 'enramadas' (palm thatched covered restaurants) lining the beach. Everyone is friendly so feel free to relax in a hammock, have a drink and enjoy fresh seafood at extremely reasonable prices. You can kayak or paddle board on the bay or in the lagoon threw the mangrove canals. Rent a surf board and catch a few waves. Horseback ride on the beach or explore a part of the jungle and the "turtle" beach on the other side of the hill. Take a guided boat tour of the large estuary and see the salt-producing flats and many exotic forms of local wildlife! Try your luck at the Morros with a fishing tour, or head out further for a sailfish or marlin! Camera's is a must! There are a few 4-5 star restaurants within walking distance that offer breakfast, lunch or dinner or if your feeling lazy simply order in! There are also a few small stores with the necessities. A 20min drive or cab ride to Zihua or 25 min drive to Ixtapa gives you many options for daily and evening entertainment and dining. Come experience all the reasons you vacation 'On the Beach'....Leave your cares at home and relax at Villa Playa Blanca. Thanks for considering our home.
