NOW ONTO THE FUN PART OF DESCRIBING MY HOME
MY WONDERFUL HOME, which I have named Home Of The Dolphins (Casa De Los Delfines) is directly on the water overlooking the Malecon.
IT IS LOCATED in the Middle of Downtown Puerto Vallarta 2 blocks from the main plaza, Plaza Grande, and because of that is walking distance to virtually every shop, restaurant and attraction that Puerto Vallarta has to offer.
Its perfect for parties of up to 4 people, and of course is completely air-conditioned. Our building is 4 stories and has both elevator and stairway access. Home Of The Dolphins is located on the 3rd floor and the swimming pool is located on the roof (the 4th floor).
THE VIEW IS FABULOUS, looking south all the way down the coast to Cabo Corrientes and north all the way to Punta Mita, the northernmost point of Banderas Bay. The dolphins delight in swimming directly in front of my terraza every day (hence the name 'Home Of The Dolphins'), and early in the morning the local oyster divers collect their day’s catch on the rich reef in the crystal blue waters directly in front of my home. With its abundant underwater sea life, snorkeling and swimming are unsurpassed in this area.
BOTH BEDROOMS HAVE OCEANFRONT VIEWS, and the sunsets are truly amazing. If you are like me, you will spend both mornings on my main terrace, drinking your coffee and eating your breakfast watching the divers work and seeing the various seabirds hunt for their morning meal, and your evenings eating dinner at my handmade dining table that is situated outside on the covered balcony. You will delight taking in the 180 degree view of the ocean and coastline from one end of the bay to the other. Every night there is a fireworks display that is mounted from the Spanish galleon named the Marigalante, and usually the ship passes about 500 feet away from my balcony when it starts its show.
There are 2 King-size bedrooms each with its own bathroom. All of the bathrooms are hand-crafted in granite and marble. Both bedrooms have Flat screen cable TV/DVD.
English speaking Managers and staff.
WE ALSO HAVE Free Wi-Fi High Speed Internet, so just bring your laptop and connect through your wireless connection and you are ready to go surf the Internet at no charge anytime of the day or night.
HAND HEWN GRANITE countertops accent the custom designed kitchen, which is complete and has all the amenities to make preparation of meals a delight. UV Filtered water, Microwave, Blender, Coffee maker, 6 Burner gas stove, Large side by side refrigerator and dishwasher are all there, and various spices are always on hand.
THE SWIMMING POOL is located on the roof of the building, just one floor above me, so just walk out the front door, take 30 steps to the elevator, press PH and you will be standing next to the pool, and the water is always warm and the view is unforgettable.
Other great features: - This is a freshly renovated unit - Dining table seats four - Kitchen has a 3 stool bar - Patio doors open double-wide - Tap water is filtered and drinkable - Stainless steel fridge, stove and dishwasher - New mattresses, bedding and towels - King beds in both master and second bedrooms - Living room has recently recovered traditional Mexican Equipale leather furniture - Pack n Play child crib available - Sleeps 4 people, plus crib for 5th toddler - Patio, living room and master bedroom all have sliding glass doors to let in the cool ocean breeze - 3 zones of air conditioning available, though not necessary - Second bathroom has walk-in shower - New Otis elevator to all floors - Dining area has seating for 4 persons - Smart TV in both bedrooms - Iron, ironing board, hair dryer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, teapot kettle, phone included - Beach towels provided - Initial supply of Soaps provided - Building is mainly used by snowbirds and very quiet - Waves and birds heard throughout the day - Clothes washer/dryer directly across the hall - Condo staff are very friendly and helpful - Extra maid service available upon request - Local people are welcoming and Puerto Vallarta is safe with a much lower crime rate than most U.S. and Canadian cities - Lots of entertainment to see in town
Parking is Secured under the building, as my condo has the only underground parking in the city center, and the building has 24-hour security personnel to serve you.
WE ALSO HAVE ONE of the best restaurants in all of Puerto Vallarta located on the ground floor of our building facing the beach on the new Malecon. Its name is VITEA, and you will be delighted when you have your lunch or dinner there. It is truly a 4 star restaurant and believe me, their Margaritas are the BEST in town!
THINGS TO DO!! Virtually every water sport is available for you here in Puerto Vallarta. Also, there are horseback rides that take you back into the jungle where you will see waterfalls and flocks of parrots flying overhead. Golf is a major attraction here with several world-class courses. There are canopy tours in the jungle, you can visit the set of 'Terminator', and you can also swim with the dolphins, race mini cars and go to the local Seaworld, where the kids will have a great time. There are concerts every night by local artists in the main plaza, flea markets galore and special events where the local people from areas outside of Puerto Vallarta bring their local food and wares for you to taste and buy. There are numerous fabulous nightclubs and discos that are open until 4 in the morning, so you can dance the night away every night and never go to the same place twice.
A note about Puerto Vallarta beaches; beaches are not always completely sandy. Although I cannot guarantee that the beach directly in front of our building will be completely sandy upon your visit, there are always plenty of sandy beaches for everyone within a 3 minute walk of our building.
Please Note: If There Is Any Problem at all in the condo upon your arrival please call us IMMEDIATELY so we can fix it for you.

Beautiful ocean view from central PV location
We loved the location and view for our romantic get away week for birthday celebration. This unit is perfect for couples with a large balcony that can be open air with the large sliders to the living room and master suite. With access to the boardwalk downstairs we had everything we wanted in walking distance. We’re already excited to return!

Perfect home away from home
Our family of 3 (two adults, one teen) loved staying here! It’s the perfect location for exploring all of the beauty of Puerto Vallarta. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, strolling along the Malecon, relaxing at the pool, and walking to dinner in the nearby neighborhoods. The building was safe and the staff was friendly. The kitchen was well stocked and the condo had everything we needed for our weeklong stay. It was hard to leave!

Lovely getaway
The condo is immaculately clean and very well-stocked. The views are outstanding - we saw 8 whales in the week we were there. It is in a highly convenient location - we walked everywhere we wanted to go: to beach clubs and to great restaurants in the romantic zone and in the old town. Irdrish, the property manager was wonderful. I highly recommended this condo to anyone visiting PV - residents are generally older and property is quiet - the waves are the loudest part!

Fabulous central location, within walking distance to absolutely everywhere. Breath taking ocean vistas with plenty of dolphin and whale entertainment. Directly below an expansive terrace is people watching at its best on the Malecon Boardwalk. And if all that gets boring there’s always the rooftop pool for champagne and chill.

Whales, sunsets and ppl watching Paradise
We had a great stay at the property. Saw whales almost every day (late Nov) from the patio. Malecon walk and food and snack vendors are only a few steps away which was great!
Only slight things to note, lights from Malecon walk were always on, so bring and eye shade/mask of you need a dark room to sleep. Noise was not really an issue, closed windows/doors when we went to sleep and things never went to late, no big night clubs etc are close by, so all good.
Pool is a bit small if there are other ppl using it, but the building was quiet so we used it pretty much whenever we wanted.
So many nice restraints within a few blocks as well, we didn't my have a long enough start to try them all ... Definitely would come back here!

Great location, great views but downsides
The apartment is in a great location with beautiful views of the sunset and the people/vendors on the Malecón.
Downside: entering toilet/bath from kitchen. Not good.
Kitchen pots and pans old and need to be replaced.
Mattress in master bedroom old and uncomfortable.
No Washer and dryer in apartment. Washer and dryer are in a separate area of complex and you have to pay for use.
Televisions only in bedrooms. Not in family room. So watching tv only while lying down on bed.

Best View on the Malecon
The location of this condo was superb! The views were amazing, you don't need a rental car because there are so many restaurants and sights to see within walking distance but if you did need a ride there are taxis everywhere waiting to service you. This trip was more for relaxation for us but there are plenty of activities to do and all along the Malecon you can find someone to help you book an excursion if you choose to do something last minute. The condo is comfortable, we had the pool to ourselves everyday. The owner was very nice, he called a week before our trip to confirm everything, his step-daughter met us upon arrival and walked us through and made sure we knew everything we needed to know and they were available throughout our stay should we need anything. Very nice folks. We will definately return to stay at this property. Thank you.

If you want to experience the best of Puerto Vallarta, the location of this condo is perfect. Its right next to the Malecon boardwalk and a few minutes from the Romantic Zone. There are tons of restaurants and shops in very close proximity. You are located right on the esplanade/oceanfront where we were able to see all the street vendors and families every evening. There is also a really great restaurant on the ground floor of the building. Every night we were lulled to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves.
