We just got back from a very relaxing stay at this wonderfully appointed condo on the beautiful beach of Estrella del Mar. The condo has everything you need - an AMAZING view, a great kitchen, nice layout, and little touches such as Mexican art, Wifi and nice bed linens. The owners were fantastic to work with and very helpful. Estrella del Mar is located on (in our opinion) the most beautiful beach in Mazatlan. It is a quiet, friendly and well run property with a great golf course and a couple of restaurants on site. The owners can even arrange for someone to grocery shop for you so that everything is there for you when you arrive. It was also nice to know that Estrella del Mar has their own water filtration system so that the tap water is safe to drink. Our kids especially loved boogie boarding, hanging out in one of the many pools and visiting the turtles. We loved the beauty and tranquility of the property. Thank you Mike for everything!

Right on the beach with a view of the ocean and the the beautiful pool, this condo would cost a couple million dollars if it were in the US. We loved the fact that even for Christmas week, the development was not too busy and the pool was not crowded and noisy. The weather in Mazatlan was perfect in December. The condo is heaven for golf players who can roll out of bed and hit the links.
For us, the location of Estrella Del Mar (EDM) was too far from Mazatlan. Going to one of the main grocery stores (Walmart or Mega) took about an hour RT drive because of the distance, and the traffic and lights once you get to town. This also meant that going out to dinner in the evening became a serious commitment because of the long drive back after dinner. Unfortunately the restaurants right at EDM were no great shakes, but at least they are convenient. A car is absolutely necessary at this rental.
We would suggest that the owners make a bit of an investment in the condo. The mattress in the main bedroom is a Full size, and it has a hollow in the middle, which caused my back to hurt by the end of the week. There is no TV in the main bedroom. In the second room there are twin beds and the mattresses seemed fine. There is a TV in that room, but it does not work. There are many little things that need addressing. For example the kitchen lacks some basic things (e.g. no salad bowl, broken cork screw), the chairs on the balcony are cheap white plastic, and things like bath mats need replacing. My impression is that it had been a while since the owners were there, and there is probably not much feedback or input from the property manager. The cleaning lady also needs greater encouragement as we found sand under small throw rugs.
The owner that I communicated with was helpful and responsive in terms of booking and information.

We stayed a week at Estrella del Mar, and we couldn't have chosen a better condo. The location was absolutely perfect - from the balcony we overlooked the pool, the beach and saw many beautiful sunsets. The property is beautiful, the food at the restaurants is amazing, and the amenities are to die for. We will definitely return and hopefully we can stay much longer! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

This was our fourth visit, so we must like it. There are some minor imperfections, like the patio furniture and no BBQ, but the condo is very comfortable.
The shopping is 20 minutes away. The taxis charge around $28 US each way. Car rental for the day varies between $30 to $60. The rental agency picks their customers up and drops them off. We tip about $3 each way.
The golf course is good and not very busy.

The condo and property are beautiful and just as described, and the owner Mike was a great host to work with! The only thing I really want to add is to make sure that people know that the bed in the master bedroom has definitely been upgraded since the negative review that was posted about it a while back. It now has a king bed in the master bedroom, with a high quality pillowtop mattress, so I was able to get an excellent night's rest without any aches and pains! This is SUPER important to me, and very much appreciated in a vacation rental!!
Thank you Mike for being an excellent host, and for making your beautiful condo available!

We rented three condos in Estrella del Mar for a family holiday. This condo was by far the best. Owner/property manager was perfectly organized for our rental—with all requisite documents sent in a timely fashion, including ideas to make our stay a picture perfect one. Estrella del Mar is pastoral, situated on a warm ocean, with three pools on the premises, hot tubs, a championship golf course, good restaurants, shuttle services, and endlessly walkable beaches. Mazatlan, a charming historical city, is c. 30-40 minutes by cab or Estrella del Mar shuttle. The airport is only a 15 minute drive. Highly recommended.
