Safety near Troncones

Hi all, I hope you can help me out with some advice/information. We have been coming to Ixtapa/Zihua for decades with friends, but now are planning a trip with our extended family of children and grandchildren, and are considering renting a large home in the area of Troncones, Ixtapa, or Zihua, or somewhere between them. My question - is it safe to rent a home in the more isolated areas outside of those communities? We just came back from two weeks in Ixtapa where we felt very safe, but have heard warnings about more rural or isolated areas. Also, if anyone has advice about where to rent a home with at least 6 bedrooms, preferably 7 or 8, for 13 people, would appreciate that as well. KC from Burnaby
