Photos and Description of the Puerto Vallarta vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 2-5)

MY WONDERFUL OCEANFRONT PENTHOUSE, which I have named Penthouse Of The Dolphins, is directly on the water overlooking the Malecon. It is situated in the middle of Puerto Vallarta two blocks from the main plaza, Plaza Principal, 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 five people, and of course is completely air-conditioned.

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 wraparound terrazas every day (hence the name 'Penthouse 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 the dining table, which is situated outside under 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 terrazas when it starts its show.

There Are 2 King-size Bedrooms each with its own connected bathroom, and there is also a third guest bathroom complete with its own shower. All of the bathrooms are all hand-crafted in marble. Both bedrooms have Flat screen cable TV/DVD.

The Washer and Dryer are both located inside the condo.

English speaking Managers and staff.

For those of you that like to bring your laptops we also have Wireless High Speed Internet DSL. All you have to do is plug in and you are surfing the web!

*We also have Free Long Distance phone service, so you can call home as much as you like with comfort and ease.*

Hand Hewn Granite countertops accent the custom designed kitchen, which is complete and has all the amenities to make preparation of meals a delight. Dishwasher, microwave, blender, coffee maker are all there, and various spices are always on hand.

The Swimming Pool is located on the roof of the building next to my condo, so just walk out the front door, take 30 steps and you will be standing next to the pool, and the water is always warm and the view is unforgettable.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you are checking the availability calendar, if PENTHOUSE OF THE DOLPHINS Is not available for your desired dates, please look at my other wonderful home named HOME OF THE DOLPHINS because it may be available for the dates that you want. It is located just one floor below Penthouse Of The Dolphins on the 3rd floor and is simply fabulous! Its listing number is 20700. You will have a great time no matter which of my 2 great properties you choose for your vacation.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is bring your smile and a swimsuit to have a Great Time!

Gracias from Your Owner!

About The Owner

Hi, I'm Michel Rubini. the very happy owner of Penthouse Of The Dolphins. I am a musician by trade, and I have been playing piano since I was 3 years old. I came to Puerto Vallarta in 2000 and fell in love with it immediately. I have been blessed with the good fortune to be able to live here with the wonderful Mexican people and share in their relaxed style of living, where everything slows down just a notch or two from the “hurry up” pace of America. To be able to sit on my terrace and view the ocean and listen to the sound of the birds and waves is a wonderfully relaxing experience that I look forward to every morning that I am here. I am very happy to be able to share my little piece of Heaven with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Aloha, Michel

The Owner purchased this condo in 2008
Why The Owner chose Puerto Vallarta

When I arrived at my future home, walked through the entrada of the building and looked out and saw the azure blue waters of the Pacific and the incredible view of Banderas Bay right in front of me, I fell in love immediately. Being in the center of this wonderful town, I knew that this was the best location in all of Puerto Vallarta. I couldn't resist it.

What makes this condo unique

I Found Out that I could be just as secluded as I wanted as our building is very quiet, or I could enjoy a bounty of cultural and ethnic delights just by stepping outside. It was just up to me to decide what I would do on any given day, be a sun worshiper on the beach or at the pool, or join in the party that is always going on somewhere in this wonderful old colonial town. The views from my terrazas are unsurpassed, I can see the tourists strolling on the Malecon and I can also look out to the Pacific and see whales, dolphins, and even the oyster divers who like to work directly in front of home here.

Perfection in Puerto Vallarta

5 of 5
Submitted: January 23, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Extremely comfortable penthouse condo in the heart of the Malecon boardwalk and a short walk to many excellent restaurants and beaches. Excellent food, especially breakfast at Vitea on the ground floor outside this condo. I also highly recommend dining at Joe Jacks, Trio, Cafe des Artists, and Fajita Republic all accessible by foot from this condo. Also great ice cream at Lix on Basilio Badillo near Cafe de Olla.
The vallarta-adventures .com boat trip to Las Caletas for a day of swimming and snorkeling on a quiet secluded beach is worthwhile. Don't miss the incredible sand sculptures visible from the Malecon boardwalk north of the condo.

Wonderful Place. Everything as Advertised

5 of 5
Submitted: September 24, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
I stayed in the Penthouse for a week with my Fiance. We can say it was a wonderful condo. Very clean. Very well decorated with high quality furnature and decorations. The kitchen was fantastic and we used it as we would use our own home kitchen--everything available and at hand. The wrap-around terraza was fresh and pleasant in the morning and great for sunning in the afternoon--the sunsets I don't mention as you should see for yourself.... I spent a lot of time on the terazza just relaxing and watching the pelicans cruising the ocean and diving for fish. The master bathroom is great--showering while overlooking the ocean--can't beat it. The master bedroom views are as shown in the photos--overlooking the ocean sea. You will appreciate the stereo in the living room--outstanding full sound--bring your own CD or borrow the one's there for your use--some nice jazz. If you rent a car you will really appreciate the secure underground parking--this was a real positive for us, especially in the center of town where parking seems difficult, at best. We went drving outside of town almost every day for sightseeing and it was just nice-and-comfortable to come back and "park" immediately without having to cruise around the neighborhood looking for parking. But you really don't need a car if you are content with local tourism; the condo is walking distance to everything in the tourist area restaurants and bars and shops. The free internet phone is a nice convenience--we used it only a few times but it was a nice touch to have a free phone available any time and not get nickel'd and dime'd to death on long distance. The pool was adequate. It is on-the-roof. It is clean and warm, but as it is behind the walls surrounding the roof-line, the breeze from the ocean sea is a bit blocked. But it is warm and clean. All-in-all, really difficult to beat this place. Only one thing I would mention to watch out: a) if you want beach, beach, beach then this is probably not the place for you--the beaches are to the right (looking at the ocean sea) some one kilometer and to the left some hundreds of meters. We used a nice clean beach a few kilometers driving south of town--the pelicans diving into the ocean sea to catch fish only 4-5 meters from me were a riot!! Many nice restaurants around and we sampled close to a dozen in the week were there. The property manager, Rosa, was wonderful. She knows all of the area and can recommend whatever you need.

Gorgeous everything

We rented this get away for 5 nights and must say it was best location and wonderful premises as well. We did not need a rent a car due to the condo being directly on the Malecon and right in the middle of town. It was not too noisy in the evenings as this condo is in the perfect zone of the Malecon.
We recommend this condo to everyone who wants a spacious and clean place with high ceilings, very sweet house keeper, all amenities, rooftop pool with beach and mountain views, Tv's, Radio, AC and a 180 degree balcony with sunsets to die for.
Will definitely return!
Owner very professional and so helpful with all our questions.
Price was realistic as well!!!

Our party of three women, two adults and one teen, enjoyed a fabulous six days at Penthouse of the Dolphins. The location and accommodations are superb. In fact, the online pictures and description do not really do it justice. The master bedroom suite is particularly is fabulous; you feel almost surrounded by ocean. The deck and covered dining area are always inviting, and particularly great for watching the sunset or nightly fireworks. The nearby pool, although relatively small, also has a wonderful ocean view and spacious patio. The in house washer/dryer and free Wi-Fi were welcome amenities.

Cleanliness and attention to detail was evident throughout. We did not make full use of the kitchen, but it had everything one could need. A bathroom bulb went out, and we readily found a replacement in the utility closet.

Michel was a pleasure to do business with, both friendly and efficient. He also honored our prior reservation, even though another party wanted to book a much longer stay that spanned our visit. Rosa a Maria, the property manager, deserves special mention. She is delightful, and effective! She greeted us on arrival, made sure we had everything we needed, helped scheduled us for a cruise, and saw us off from the condo at the time of departure.

It is not always a quiet get away. You will know that there is an ocean a few feet away and that there are folks dining and having fun on the malacon, but it was all very special to us. I would go back or rent one of Michel's other properties in a heartbeat.

My husband and I along with another couple enjoyed a great week at this condo. The accommodations were first-rate with a beautiful view of the ocean from both bedrooms and the balcony. Along with the wonderful sound of the surf to wake up to and go to sleep with. We could sit on our balcony, have dinner and watch the interesting people along the Malecon, and the beautiful sunset. It was a charming place to stay and to let down from our hectic pace in the U.S.. We hope to return next year for a longer stay. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay in this delightful, feel-good home. It was better than we possibly could have expected. Thanks Michel for your hospitality!!!
