Ocean View Condo Near Downtown and Malecon Boardwalk
This lovely condo has recently gone through a complete remodel (2017 and more each year!). Two spacious bedrooms, two marble bathrooms, and tons of closet space. New furnishings include an American king size bed in each bedroom. A "real" kitchen with plenty of counter space, full sized appliances, and includes a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and washer/dryer. The unit provides beautiful ocean views and a 10 minute downhill walk to Vallarta's beautiful Malecon. Far enough away to experience what it is like to live in a Puerto Vallarta neighborhood, but also close to restaurants, bars, shopping, beaches, and everything you could ask for. The tranquil pool is right outside your door. Free phone calls the the U.S. and Canada. Our 7-night minimum stays gets you a discounted rate and save even more with a monthly stay. We do not charge you a cleaning fee, but we do ask that you to tip our employees for their excellent service.

This is a beautiful property with all the beautiful views. It is a quick walk to the malecon, downhill. We took an uber back after a day of walking, but you can walk back up. The condo is comfortable and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views. The hosts are wonderful and very responsive and Jesus is the best.
Excellent experience, Jose and Paul were very quick to reply to any questions, the PM was alway available, and the condo was well equipped and clean. Great location but a bit of a hike up the hill.
We have been booking with vrbo for eight years. Paul and Jose provided the most comprehensive package ever, they were very responsive and quick to respond to our inquires. Jesus, the property manager arranged for our taxi to the airport and Sylvia did an amazing cleaning job.The condo is on a busy street and on a steep hill. If you are not prepared to enjoy the sounds, smells and traffic of Mexico then you should not travel there. We enjoyed the sounds of the roosters across the street and we could eliminate the traffic noise by closing the patio doors. We didn’t hear anything at night. We are both 81 years old and we managed the hill quite well albeit with several stops. We would recommend that you use 31 of October street, just across from the condo, as this has sidewalks and a cleaner walk. Watch for dog excrement and uneven sidewalks.If you want to take a taxi don’t get one from the Malecon as they almost double the price. Go up one street and flag a cab. Always ask the price.We have a couple of recommendations for Paul and Jose. The shower needs grab bars for safety. We bought an anti slip mat for the shower stall. The patio area really requires comfortable patio chairs as the bistro set is very uncomfortable. We highly recommend this condo as it’s well equipped, has great staff support and wonderful,owners.
The hosts are so responsive and helpful. I appreciated the level of communication. Also, their willingness to be flexible was great when our trip got shifted due to flight issues! Beautiful condo and pool. Great views. Great location to get to any end of town. I could easily walk to most places. Not too far from the airport. We had to work while there so the condo was a great home away from home for us; comfortable setting and good internet connection.
This property is well maintained and stocked for long term stays. All of the appliances work well and the kitchen is fully stocked if you prefer to cook your meals and to re-heat leftovers easily.
The views of the Bay are stunning and you'll get to see cruise ships come in and out of port.
Weekly housekeeper is amazing and the pool is small but nice to have and the hosts were always responsive to messages.
That climb up from Malecon can be rough for first timers during the warmer weather and the chickens can be loud at random hours but if you can keep the sliding doors closed it will definitely help to cut down the noise. Calle Allende is a main artery for trucks and motorbikes and ATVs so it can be a bit noisy.
Overall a great spot if you love the sunset views and a great location if you want to be close to Centro but not right in the middle of it.
Spacious size condo, with a great kitchen equipped with mostly everything you require for cooking meals. Both bedrooms have comfortable king sized beds. Master bathroom is larger with larger size shower, a walk in closet with extra towels and bed sheets, and a safe to lock your valuables in it. The second bedroom is smaller & has a wall to wall closet so you could hang up your clothes & also some drawers to put away other things. They supplied laundry soap so we did wash our clothes and especially our wet towels. You have to purchase water from the Ciel water truck that comes around 3x per week. Also they have a house cleaner that comes in once per week and they ask you to leave a tip for them. The pool is an added bonus but not heated so we did not use it cause it was not really hot when we were there. The only bad part about our 3 week stay is the neighborhood chickens and dogs. There is chickens behind the condo and across the street from the condo. They are squawking all day and night & the dogs seem to bark a lot at night Iike they are running in packs. It’s conveniently located within walking distance to the Malecon. It’s downhill and about 5 blocks to walk. We brought our Firestick but the owner Juan was kind enough to email me & we called him on the phone & we used his setup at times.
The property was just as advertised great views, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, TV's and everything you could possible need for a very nice stay. Owner, managers and maintenance people were very attentive.
Property was large and clean, plenty of towels, nice kitchen. I love the location, just a walk doen the hill to the Malecon, and uber home! There are some stairs, but only a slight inconvenience when moving luggage-- but our greeter took care of that! Im 69 years old. And stairs were not an issue!
We had a great stay. Condo is very bright, clean, nicely decorated, lots of amenities. The pool right outside the front door was great, gets nice sun in the afternoon. The balcony on the front has beautiful views. The hosts are great, very responsive. Easy, safe walk down to the malecon. Also easy to get taxi or uber to take you back up the hill if you don't want to walk it.
The condo is exactly as described. The previous reviews were accurate about the roosters, but there is lots of white noise to drown them out at night. Im sure they do sleep as well at some point. The condo was clean, well maintaned, and they were extremely prompt with any concern we had. Will definetly stay again.
This property was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The owners were a breeze to deal with and the property manager, Jesus, was a gem. As stated in previous reviews, it is up a hill, we preferred to walk it but it is easy to get a cab up. We would definitely stay again.
First time in Vallarta .. sister my daughter and me had a very good time in this place , very close to malecón and very convenient prices for taxis and Uber .. condo is very beautiful and has everything you need.. definitely recommend.. owners are very friendly when we contact them .. 👍👍👍.. hope to comeback soon…
The condo was perfect for myself and my friend. It is within walking distance (downhill is much easier! :-) )to the beach and the shops and restaurants along the beach area. Uber is quite easily accessible, which is what we used most of the time to get to different areas. Great restaurants within a short ride. The condo has a lovely balcony where we sat with either a drink in the evening or had coffee in the morning. Good view of the bay! We would definitely stay here again.
A beautiful home away from home .
Couple of problems were reported and were fixed the same day . The one bathroom is ridiculously Too small. On a hill lots of roosters around. Beds were very comfortable and lots of roo to relax in main living space. Elevator was useful
Pretty great spot! Walking up the hill can be a workout but we love it! We got in good shape! The place is just as advertised, if not, better. View was amazing. A short walk to everywhere while still having a little separation from the bustling noises of the city. Safe neighborhood. Lots of hidden gems to discover. We loved hearing the roosters! Can't wait to go back.
This condo is in the perfect location. It's close enough to everything so you can be just about anywhere in a short time but far enough for relaxation and rest. The pool is right outside the condo and almost felt private. The owners and management were overwhelmingly helpful and easy to communicate. I stayed for a month and wish I didn't have to leave. As I write this, I feel sad that I left. I would easily rent this location for a year after my experience. I have nothing but good feelings about this condo and highly recommend it.
Checking in was flawless with Jesus. We were amazed with the all the condiments, spices and seasonings, dishes, pots and pans, electrical appliances available. They supplied a full array of paper and plastic products (e.g. garbage bags) even some bottled water to start out our stay.
Lydia, the cleaner, was a dynamo giving a weekly, thorough cleaning of our suite. Top marks for her!
Paul was exceptionally good to deal with. We talked a few times after he initiated contact with us first. We would give him six stars out of five!
We had three small concerns and suggestions connected to the bathroom: the main shower stall needed a bit of caulking at the base of the glass; a hand towel ring or hook by the sink as well as a door stop to the bath room door would have been nice BUT our unit was the nicest we have had in over 40 years of travelling.
Paul and Jose certainly can be proud of this unit.
Great Spacious Condo 6 Blocks from The Malecon and Los Muertos Beach
This wonderfully appointed 1500 square foot condo in Puerto Vallarta is just 6 short blocks from the Malecon and Los Muertos Beach. This spacious 2 bedroom suite is nicely furnished with perks such as a 65 inch HD TV, a lovely deck with a great view where we had coffee each morning, NHL Network, Netflix, movie channels and more. We didn't use the aircon as much during the day, as the two large sliding doors with screens provided a pleasant temperature in the morning; however, the aircon in the condo efficiently and comfortably cools this space when needed as there are aircon units in each of the bedrooms and the living room and kitchen area. The property owner, Paul, is wonderful man who we enjoyed working with, while the property manager addressed any issues that required attention. In addition, we had exceptional maid service each week that we feel was outstanding!

We stayed at this property for one week. I read the reviews about the condo was up a hill but didnt visualize how steep the hill was....LOL! We tried to get a taxi to take us up the hill a few times and they refused for whatever reason, so we trekked up the hill. There are roosters in the area and they start crowing between 4 & 5am and continue throughtout the day. So, if you want to sleep late, this is not the place for you. In our opinion, we didnt think the condo was so clean. There were dirty towels hanging behind the bathroom door and garbage left behind from the last occupants. Overall, the condo and location was okay but we deinitely will not return to this condo.

Very nice building with elevator and small pool.
The unit is just like what you see in the photos. Beautiful kitchen with large gas stove, big fridge etc. Full size washer/dryer. Bed was super comfortable, plenty of lines and plush towels. Very nice bathrooms. Huge tv in an extremely spacious dining room, plus small tv in each bedroom. Four people would be comfortable here. The negative for us for our one month stay: You are up on a hill which is very difficult to walk up (but no problem walking down to all the action!), so you rely on taxis a lot, but they are cheap. The pool is smallish but was very cold which was surprising. You are also on a very bust street so it can be noisy on the balcony or if the sliding doors are open. (The sound is greatly reduced with doors closed). There are also a lot of roosters in the area, and after a month we were glad to be rid of them! Very noisy! We also found that the interior furniture (which is actually outdoor furniture) was not very comfortable.
This condo is large, beautifully decorated, comfortable and well equipped.
The pool is clean and well serviced with comfortable chaise loungers and a lovely breeze.
The appliances are new and we ate breakfasts and lunches in. Water, shampoo , coffee filters, laundry soap, paper towels were all provided.
A bit of an issue with the dishwasher but it was dealt with immediately.
Jesus was helpful and had a cute sense of humour.
We were thankful to find Eric’s card and telephone number. He is a delightful, reliable taxi driver who speaks excellent English. He is a family man with beautiful children and we preferred having his service rather than uber.
As described the condo is situated at the top off a rarely steep hill. We took this as a challenge and walked it everyday except two when we put on our fancy shoes and went out to fancy dinners.
It is a developing neighbourhood and the roosters are part of the experience. We had ear plugs so not an issue.
There are very very good restaurants nearby eg Barcelona Tapas, Cafe des Artistes, La Cappella and in the Versailles area Cafe Lindo.
The Malecon and the Romantic zone are an easy, flat walk once down the hill.
Paul and Jose have thought of everything and are great owners.
Thank you for sharing your home.
