Photos and Description of the Puerto Vallarta vacation condo rental 2 Bedrooms, 3 Full Bathrooms, Sleeps 4-5 with comfort and ease.

My wonderful oceanfront penthouse is directly on the water overlooking the Malecon. It is situated in the middle of Puerto Vallarta 2 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 4-5 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 is unsurpassed in this area.

Even better than it looks!

GRD & LND Los Altos, CA
Review Submitted: June 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This is a stellar property and is even more wonderful than the photos indicated, especially on the terrace and at the pool area. I can't begin to describe the beauty as you stand on the terrace as you gaze out to sea or watch the world go by on the Malecon.

The property is ideally located and is within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shopping. We had one of our favorite meals up the hill at Vista Grill. I prefer the south end of town over the marina or Hotel Zone so this location is perfect.

The condo was in great condition and all the information from the owner was thorough and helpful.

I miss the sound of the waves at night and can't wait to return again to Penthouse of the Dolphins!

Penthouse of the Dolphins-MAGIC!!

Lets go Lynn Lomita, Ca
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Wow, Wow, and Wow!!! This was by far our best vacation yet!! Michel's Penthouse was awesome to say the least..I have always stayed in hotels when traveling, but after staying in the Penthouse I will now ALWAYS stay in a privately owned condo or house thanks to my experience with Michel and his beautiful property!! In fact my next vacation will be in his Cancun property...and it can't come soon enough. We stayed the last week of July and we were fortunate enough to witness two incredible tropical storms(only at night by the way- the days were gorgeous and sunny!)that took our breath away(in a great way)..if you have never witnessed this marvel you are truly missing out, our own private light show from our balcony. We ate at Vitea resturant right below the condo almost every day, it was that good! This is such a charming town and being right in the center of it was the only way to go..so much around to do(or not if you choose to just relax). We used the pool area everyday usually up to 5 hours..one nice touch was the shower and 2 bathrooms right by the pool so you didn't have to trek the longggg 30 steps back to the Penthouse!!Ha Ha...The beach towels were fluffy, and having a washer and dryer in the unit was great since we only brought a carry on bag(which made our traveling thru the airports that much quicker)
The building has a 24 hr. security guard out front and a locked gate which made us feel very safe(although I would have felt safe here even without out this nice feature). The building itself was very well maintained and kept clean at all times. We are so glad we happened upon Michel's wonderful Penthouse, and look forward to our next vacation in his property(We think we will end up trying all his propertys if this one is any indication of the others)!! Please do not hesitate to book the Penthouse, you will not be disappointed!!

Penthouse of the Dolphins - Simply Divine

Joe and Darlene Bainbridge Island, WA (Seattle)
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My family has just returned from an 8 night stay at the Penthouse of the Dolphins. We all agreed that is was one of the best vacations our family has ever had. We have visited Mexico many times before and we have done the upscale all- inclusive resort thing. Our time at the Penthouse of the Dolphins far exceed any of those experiences. Compared to the resorts, The Penthouse of the Dolphins is a bargain for the price and you have the luxury of space that you would not have at a resort.

The Penthouse of the Dolphins is a stunning unit. It is expertly and very tastefully appointed with all the luxuries of a 5 star resort. It is even more beautiful in person than the pictures. This unit is very well maintained. The bathrooms are incredible as is the wood work of the built-ins or the door ways. The art work is quite nice.

This unit is located right in the middle of all the action. The unit is minutes from Los Muertos beach. On Los Muertos you can engage in any water sport you would like, shop for trinkets or souvenirs, eat yummy food and most importantly, relax with a your favorite tropical drink. There are tons of great restaurants in walking distance from the unit. Our favorites were Vitea, on the main floor of the building the unit is in and Si, Senors, further on down the Malecon.

We traveled with our teen aged children. It was so wonderful to see them immersed in the culture. They shopped along the Malecon, ran errands to the local grocery stores, made friends with the vendors and picked up snacks nightly at the corner OXXO (Mexican 7-11). The neighborhood around the condo became their neighborhood.

The views from the wrap around terrace are simply to die for. We spent 90% of our time outside. My greatest joy was watching the dolphins each morning. The pelicans diving for fish are also very entertaining. The sunsets are simply stunning. The views from all the rooms look at the ocean, whether you are laying in bed, taking a shower, or eating breakfast. We so loved the sound of the surf. It was so peaceful.

The roof top pool is steps away from the condo's front door. From the pool you can see the city, the ocean and the beautiful crown of the cathedral.

The owner was a dream to work with. We would highly recommend to property to our closest of friends and family. You will not be disappointed.

A Slice of Paradise

Darlene and Joe Bainbridge Island, WA (Seattle)
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We just returned from an 8 night stay at the Penthouse of the Dolphins. This was simply the best vacation we have ever had. My family has traveled to Mexico many times before and we have done the resort thing. Staying at this unit far exceeded any resort we have stayed at both in terms of experience and cost.

This unit is impeccably decorated and maintained. It is even more incredible in person than in the pictures. The location is divine. You are right in the middle of all the action on the Malecon with a less than 5 minute walk to Los Muertos beach. Everything you could possibly want is in walking distance. The views from the wrap around terrace are simply stunning. We spent almost 90% of our time on the terrace enjoying the views and the ambiance of the Malecon. Each morning we watched the dolphin play in the bay. The roof top pool is literally steps from the condos front door and it overlooks the ocean and the city. Sunsets from either the pool or the terrace were amazing. Our teen aged children were able to spend time immersed in the Mexican culture whether they were shopping, picking up snacks for the local grocery story or negotiating a deal for a banana boat ride at the beach.

Michel was a dream to work with. He is a very hands on owner who knows his property well. I found the whole rental process went with the greatest of ease. I would highly recommend this unit to everyone. I guarantee that you will fall in love with Mexico and its people when you stay here.

A fabulous retreat in the heart of Puerto Vallarta

Carl and SallyZ Plano, Tx
Review Submitted: May 31, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
What a wonderful place to spend our 25th Anniversary. The Penthouse of the Dolphins was truly wonderful. The building was beautiful and the Penthouse magnificently furnished, and comfortable in every way. It had absolutely everything we needed from coffee cups to wine glasses to beach towels. We loved relaxing on the patio with our coffee in the morning and watching the vendors set up for the day, and then catching the sunset each evening before we set off for dinner. The pool area was kept in pristine condition and was a great way to cool off late in the afternoon. The air conditioning worked like a charm, but in the early morning when it was cooler it was also great to open the place up and listen to the waves.
The location of this property couldn’t be beat. It was within walking distance of every great restaurant, the grocery store, shops, and the beach and right on top of the Malecon. Michel, this is a true gem of a place and we thank you for sharing it. We will definitely be back someday!
