!!PENTHOUSE OF THE DOLPHINS!!
DIRECTLY ON THE MALECON AND OCEAN. ITS THE BEST VALUE IN VALLARTA! DON'T MISS IT!!

PLEASE NOTE: When you are checking the availability calendar, if our 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 VRBO listing number is 20700. You will have a great time no matter which of my 2 great properties you choose for your vacation.

NOW ONTO THE FUN PART OF DESCRIBING MY HOME

MY WONDERFUL OCEANFRONT PENTHOUSE, which I have named Penthouse Of The Dolphins (Penthouse De Los Delfines) is directly on the water overlooking the Malecon.

IT IS LOCATED in the middle of Downtown 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 four or five people, and of course is completely air-conditioned. Our building is 4 stories and has both elevator and stairway access. Penthouse Of The Dolphins is located on the 4th floor as is the swimming pool.

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 my handmade dining table, that 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 full guest bathroom complete with its own shower. All of the bathrooms are hand-crafted in granite and marble. Both bedrooms have Flat screen cable TV/DVD.

The Washer and Dryer are both located inside the condo.

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 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.

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.

    The Dolphin's Penthouse is an absolute gem, perfectly positioned at the heart of everything that makes Puerto Vallarta a world-class destination. This was the best rental we have encountered in years of travel.From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated. The magnificent wrap-around balcony offers postcard-perfect, panoramic scenes—a truly world-class spot to relax. Inside, the penthouse features outstanding architecture and wonderful, comfortable furnishings. The beds were spotless and comfortable. Critically, everything functioned perfectly, from the high-speed internet and AC to the washing machine and coffeemaker.The building is exceptionally well-maintained. Guests access the penthouse via a modern and efficient elevator. It is staffed 24/7 by friendly and attentive staff, including a doorman securing the locked entrance.The penthouse shares the rooftop with a well-maintained pool (long enough for laps) and a modest gym on the second floor.This location truly excels. Step outside, and you are immediately on The Malecón, Puerto Vallarta’s lively esplanade. This iconic boardwalk runs along the beach and is full of sculptures, vibrant performers, vendors, fantastic restaurants, and shops.For daily convenience, there is an OXXO (Mexican 7/11) on the street level of the building, along with a great restaurant that offers delivery service.We highly recommend The Dolphin's Penthouse for an unforgettable Puerto Vallarta experience.

    Thank you Michel! We have loved our stay at your condo, we're sad to have to leave already. Your place is in a perfect spot and is such a beautiful home and stocked with everything we need. And the security and staff are all so friendly. We people watched, went boating, went fishing, had beach days, had pool days, rode razors in the jungle, got massages, we shopped, we ate amazing food, and we drank! You can do it all from this location. We would love to come back in the future.

    Prefect location in the middle of everything with one of the best (180deg) views of the bay you can get in Vallarta. Spacious penthouse, great for two couples or a family (we were 4 adults and a kid). All necessary amenities, nice layout of the condo with two private suites and the gorgeous wraparound roof terrace.

    The pictures on this listing look MUCH better in person! We loved staying here for a week in April 2025. Whether you relax on the wrap around deck, lounge pool side at the roof top pool, once you step outside you are in the CENTER of everything PV has to offer. We had a fantastic vacation here ! I highly recommend for an authentic, comfortable, well decorated, and gorgeous condo.

    We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay in PV, and at your Dolphins penthouse condo. Your condo made it special. Its location is great, plus we loved watching activity on the Malecon—from setup of the booths in the morning through to tear down in the evening. We never did see the turtle but did have a really good whale sighting one morning. Also, in an earlier email you had mentioned the convenience of the third bathroom, and we agree.Special in Every Way

    This condo is very classically Mexican style with tile floors, beautiful wooden cabinetry, and some wonderful art pieces. We were 2 couples and this condo worked perfectly. One of the nicest features is the huge wrap around balcony that has lots of seating. The kitchen is well supplied and the beds are comfortable. It couldn’t be in a better location. It’s a convenient walk to most everything and it’s quiet at night…..except for the sound of the ocean which is fabulous! Sassia is a terrific help and readily available. The only reason we gave this 4 stars overall is because there are a few minor items that should be updated. But those did not prevent us from having a great 2 weeks in PV.

    Located on the Malecon the property is very close to Rio Cuale bridge. Left is the river, right is the Los Arcos outdoor amphitheater. Easy walking to restaurants. Nighttime activities onthe Malecon was fun to experience. The rental was 2 br. 3 bath. With plenty of charm and lots of space. Kitchen was perfect to us. Outside wrap around balcony was our favorite spot for sunsets. Beds comfortable. Plenty of linens. 3 of us aged 69, 75, 80- loved the rooftop pool outside our 4th floor apartment Recommend it.
