When you walk through the front door you will gasp. The sweeping view is completely unmatched anywhere on the bay and is truly awe inspiring. You will instantly know that you made a great decision as you admire the panorama you'll get to see day after day from your perch atop the world.

This penthouse, Ático Altamira, is the largest unit in the acclaimed Casa Que Ve Al Mar complex which was designed and built by internationally renowned architect Enrique Zozaya.

Sleeping up to 8 people in beds and with a floor area of 3,000 square feet (280 Sq m) this condo is a perfect for families or several couples to stay for a week or more without the risk of feeling overcrowded. There is a cooling breeze that blows through the house most of the day and keeps you comfortable.

The colorful decor and custom furniture will give a your group a gracious and comfortable stay. The newly remodeled kitchen is fully equipped and better stocked than any place you will have ever stayed. It is perfect for serious cooks. The doors and cabinets are all local hardwood and the counters are local stone. The paintings and prints are by local artists, and objects are sourced directly from the artists in the neighboring states of Oaxaca and Michoacan. There are place appropriate decorative touches throughout. A comment we get a lot from our guests is The pictures do not do this place justice.

The 16'x8' en suite pool has enough space for all guests to relax and take in the view. It also has ample exterior sunbathing space; take a swing in the hammock, sip a beer or cocktail in your sun lounger or simply read your favorite book in the pool. There are also two uncrowded common infinity pools with amazing views in a lush garden area.

It is less than a 10 minute walk down to the beautiful, long white sand and coconut palm lined Playa La Ropa beach. La Ropa was recently recognized as the most beautiful beach in Mexico by a major travel publication. There are a variety of beach restaurants, yoga studios, spas and recreation opportunities- paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling, sailing. Taxis are available within 2-3 minutes and will take you anywhere in town for just 55 pesos. We have a dedicated, covered parking space if you bring a car. If you prefer not to walk up the hill back from the beach, there is a taxi stand by the beach.

The penthouse is accessible from the driveway via a flat sidewalk, one flight of stairs, and an elevator that delivers you directly to the front door.

    The apartment is spacious,comfortable and very well looked after.The kitchen is well equiped and has everthing you need to cook a good meal.Strong internet signal always a bonus.The inhouse pool was cleaned twice while we were there and the complex has 2 aditional pools with great views.We walked to the beach everyday (downhill) and took a taxi back (uphill) . Easy.Above all the communication and support Almendra offered us was incredible.

    WOW. WOW. WOW. This penthouse is absolutely beautiful. The view is amazing and it’s a wonderful way to start and end your days. Easy to get taxi service if you do not want to do the walk down. I would recommend everyone to stay here. We can’t wait to return

    Stayed in zihau at the Penthouse with two additional couples. Had a wonderful time. Great communication and greeted upon arrival by property manager. Whenever we had a question or needed anything it was provided very quickly. Can’t beat the impressive view. Will definitely book again on next trip to zihau.

    This property is exactly as described, maybe even better. The space is beautiful, the plunge pool and view are amazing. The condo is well appointed with everything we needed, and more! The kitchen has everything you would ever need. We prepared 3 of our own meals and had everything, including an outdoor BBQ/grill which can be hard to find. Bedrooms, bathrooms all perfect. The condo facilities are also beautiful and well maintained. It’s a mixture of permanent owners and vacation renters but everyone was super friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the 2 common pools.Rick was quick to respond with valuable advice and Almendra was so helpful in getting groceries to start our stay, organized Kelly to prepare 2 traditional meals in the condo, and was available for anything we needed. Yes, the walk to the beach is a walk, but it’s not as bad as we expected based on reviews. We walked it there and back everyday. Could Grandma do it? No, but we are an active family ages 22-53. We had a couple nice meals out at the Resto’s nearby, don’t worry about stepping out and trying places close by. It was also an easy cab into Zihua Centro for more restos, market and the Soriano grocery store. We really loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Rick and Almendra!

    We had a phenomenal vacation. The place is beautiful, view is incomparable and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked (important for us as we need to cook all our meals). Rick and his team (Almendra, Veronica) are amazing. Communication was easy and they all responded to our questions and needs quickly. The place gets a 10 :)

    This condo was incredible. Hands down, the best place I have ever stayed in Mexico. Four of us, girls trip, stayed for 7 days. The manager met us to let us in, helped us find taxis, answered when we needed more water and gave us excellent advice through our trip. The condo is beautiful, clean, the art is perfect and the view is outstanding. It is about $7.00 taxi to the center of Zihuatanejo. The condo is walking distance to La Ropa. I can’t say enough good about this VRBO.

    This is truly a spectacular property. We've stayed at La Casa Que Ve al Mar before. It's a special property that is impeccably maintained, with lush gardens and a friendly, helpful staff. But staying in the penthouse is really over the top. Terrific outdoor living and the views are just incredible. There's plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Because we either walked to the beach or took the minibus to town (13 pesos one way!), we almost always had to walk up the hill (good for working off the margaritas, of course!). So we really appreciated the little pool on the balcony to cool off after that hike. There was a bit of a hiccup when the electricity went off. Rick was totally on it. As it turns out, the entire La Ropa area had an issue, but it was fixed quite quickly. Probably faster than PG&E would have done the repair. I could not have asked for better communication. Gracias, Rick. We really can't wait to return.
