Photos and Description of the Puerto Vallarta vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 2-4)

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 situated in the middle of 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.

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 which is situated outside on the covered balcony.

The colorful waterfall fountain with its koi carp on my balcony can only accent the delight you will experience while 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 bedrooms each with its own separate bathroom. The bathrooms are all hand-crafted in marble. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, and the second bedroom has a queen size bed. Both bedrooms have cable TV and DVD players.

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, and the water is always warm and the view is unforgettable.

We also have Free Long Distance Telephone, Hi Speed Internet DSL with the wireless option, so just bring your laptop and plug in or connect through your wireless connection and you are ready to go surf the Internet or call home at no charge anytime of the day or night.

!!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.

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!

About the only detail I left out is that it takes 50% of the rental amount to confirm the booking and the rest is due 45 days prior to your arrival date. My property manager will greet you and show you around upon your arrival. Please email or call me to make arrangements.

PLEASE NOTE: When you are checking the availability calendar, if HOME OF THE DOLPHINS is not available for your desired dates, please look at my other wonderful home named PENTHOUSE OF THE DOLPHINS because it may be available for the dates that you want. It is located just one floor above Home Of The Dolphins on the roof and is simply fabulous! Its listing number is 116585. 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 Home 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 2004
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.

Location, location, this place was GREAT. The view, the security of the building, even the security guard was very nice. The vendors in the area were very nice and we enjoyed so much walking on the malecon every day, We saw a few whales, but never had the pleasure of the dolphins, You won't be sorry staying here.

This condo is amazing! It is exactly as pictured and described. No nasty surprises. The location is very good with everything you might need or want within a few blocks. The building is well maintained and Michel's manager, Rosa, was always just a phone call away to answer any questions. The best part is the spectular view overlooking the malecon and the ocean. I highly recommend this property for your stay in PV!

We recently stayed at the Home of the Dolphins. 1/13/13. The property was exactly as pictured and very clean. So thankful to the owner for his help in answering all of our questions. We really enjoyed the patio overlooking the Malecon where we saw whales every day of our visit. It is very close to the old town area where we most enjoy the art gallerys and restaurants. If you are looking for these features this is the place to rent.

My sister and I enjoyed Home of the Dolphins as the central base for all of our activities. Our days started with coffee on the balcony while enjoying the ocean, then moving on to more active pursuits which included a hike through the jungle with the L.O.C.A. organization (Ladies Outdoor Club Adventures), the City Power Walk with Sylvie Scopazzo, day passes to an all inclusive in Nuevo Vallarta for boogie boarding and to a beautiful beach resort on the south end of the bay for ocean swimming. Our other activities included shopping at all of the cute boutiques on Basillo Badillo, and ridiculously inexpensive lunches and dinners at many restaurants within walking distance of the condo. We were also able to walk to Our Lady of Guadeloupe cathedral to enjoy the processions during the early December celebrations. There is always something happening on the Malecon and we were able to enjoy it from our balcony, including nightly mariachis! We saved quite a bit on taxi fares from this location since we were able to walk to many locations and highly recommend staying here. There is a small, but lovely pool on the rooftop which we usually had to ourselves. Michel and Rosa are easy to work with and we hope to be back again soon!

Our stay at Home of the Dolphins was everything we expected. The Condo is clean & well secured. We chose to keep the all glass doors and windows open at all times to enjoy the sound and the fabulous view of the ocean seen from all rooms of the condo.
This condo is right on the Malecon and at times could become a bit noisy especially at night-closing the glass doors & windows reduced the night life noise. The location of this condo made it perfect for shopping, dining and walking the beach. If you are looking for a swim beach this may not be an ideal location for swimming activities, although people would swim just a little south of the condo, within walking distance. Located on the Malecon enabled us to enjoy the wonderful culture of Puerto Vallarta, shopping, dining and watching the local activities taking place.
Rosa Maria was wonderful and was most willing to help & accommodate at all times. Michelle was always available to answer any questions we had.
This is truly what the pictures & description represent of Home of the Dolphins.

We had an amazing time at Home of the Dolphins - the location could not be better. The beach is steps away and the rooftop pool/deck was fantastic. The condo is very comfortable and well kept - we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a week. I highly recommend Home of the Dolphins for families, friends, couples - you really can't go wrong. We will definitely be back!

The condominium is exactly as pictured with a fantastic balcony overlooking the Malecon and the Pacific. Everything was fresh, clean and well appointed. The property manager, Rosa, was at the building to greet and show us around. She had lots of good information about places to go and things to see.

Located almost exactly between the old town and the new, it was very convenient for everything we wanted to do. We would definitely return to the Home of the Dolphins.

The photos don't lie! This place rocks! Nothing was left out of this rental units amenities. It has EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your stay in Puerto Vallarta. The location is on the famous and newly expanded Malecon, perfectly situated right in the middle of everything. (no car was needed.) The view and terrace alone, make any idle time you happen to find absolutely fulfilling! Comfort, class, and a feeling of security, allowed our party to spend our week with the terrace doors wide open and never closing. (day or night.) I cant imagine anyplace in PV that would have satisfied our vacation needs as well as the the House Of The Dolphins!! Rosa Marie, was a great on site source of information and advice anytime we needed anything. We have already booked the same weeks for next year!! You'll love the place, as we all did.

My wife and I chose PV for our 20th anniversary and are glad we ran across Home of the Dolphins, it was a wonderful week indeed due to the fantastic location. The pics online are spot on and spending time people watching from the balcony is endless entertainment. Michel obviously cares a lot about his properties and tenants and we were happy to meet him during our stay (he was upgrading new phones and stereo system with iPod doc). The condo building is well maintained and with a security guard always posted was quite safe indeed. I would highly recommend checking out Vallarta Eats dot com if you're interested in local cuisine, a 3 hour walking food tour that's worth every penny (I'd recommend it at the beginning of your week), we were able to go back to our favorites several times. Property manager Rosa Maria also made herself available for questions, very helpful when the free wifi went down briefly. We would highly suggest looking at HotD property as a rental if you want a stress free holiday in the middle of everything downtown and away from the mega-resorts.

What a great way to start a new year! 10 days at this lovely condo in Puerto Vallarta.
This was our second stay at the "Home of the Dolphins" and we were not disappointed. The condo itself is beautiful, spacious and fully equiped. We love being able to fully open the glass doors from the living room and master bedroom to the terrace. The cross breaze that this creates means that the air conditioning is not required in the unit.
The location of this condo is perfect. You can relax on the terrace and whale/dolphin watch, people watch as well as listen to the sounds of Puerto Vallarta right on your doorstep. Most activities are only a short walk away but taxi's and busses are always available outside the door. If you do have a car, there is underground parking - gated and secure.
Rosa Maria, the property manager is fantastic. She is always available to assist you if required.
We have enjoyed both our vacations in this condo and would not hesitate to stay there again.
