*********************** HOME OF THE DOLPHINS ***********************

PLEASE NOTE: When you are checking the availability calendar, if our 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 VRBO listing number is 116585. You will have a great time no matter which of my 2 great properties you choose for your vacation.

COVID: Please see at the bottom for a detailed list of our Covid cleaning procedures.

NOW ONTO THE FUN PART OF DESCRIBING MY HOME

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 LOCATED in the Middle of Downtown 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. Our building is 4 stories and has both elevator and stairway access. Home Of The Dolphins is located on the 3rd floor and the swimming pool is located on the roof (the 4th floor).

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 that is situated outside on 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 balcony when it starts its show.

There are 2 King-size bedrooms each with its own bathroom. All of the bathrooms are hand-crafted in granite and marble. Both bedrooms have Flat screen cable TV/DVD.

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, just one floor above me,
so just walk out the front door, take 30 steps to the elevator, press PH and you will be standing next to the pool, and the water is always warm and the view is unforgettable.

- This is a freshly renovated unit
- Dining table seats four

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.

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.

Please Note: If There Is Any Problem at all in the condo upon your arrival please call us IMMEDIATELY so we can fix it for you.

Best View on the Malecon
The location of this condo was superb! The views were amazing, you don't need a rental car because there are so many restaurants and sights to see within walking distance but if you did need a ride there are taxis everywhere waiting to service you. This trip was more for relaxation for us but there are plenty of activities to do and all along the Malecon you can find someone to help you book an excursion if you choose to do something last minute. The condo is comfortable, we had the pool to ourselves everyday. The owner was very nice, he called a week before our trip to confirm everything, his step-daughter met us upon arrival and walked us through and made sure we knew everything we needed to know and they were available throughout our stay should we need anything. Very nice folks. We will definately return to stay at this property. Thank you.

Amazing location and friendly host
Our group had an amazing stay at this condo and could not be happier with its location, decor, and amenities! If I return to PV, I would absolutely stay here again. The host, Sassia, was an absolute pleasure, who took us on an excursion to a beautiful secluded beach and waterfall. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! The host was very communicative and friendly with us before and during our stay. 5/5 review

Perfect location
Directly above the malecon, we sat on the deck and watched the action. The romantic zone is only blocks away (the entire RZ is easily walkable). If you want to go elsewhere, a taxi stand is one block away. 24-hour (very friendly) security staff allow you in and out ensure total security. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!
What a wonderful place for our week long vacation. The unit is absolutely beautiful. Great location with walking distance to all popular beaches, attractions, bars, shops and restaurants in the town. It has everything we need. The internet speed is surprisingly super fast. I was able to take a few zoom conference calls for work with no problem at all! Cooked a few times and had candlelight dinner on the huge balcony watching the ocean and sunset. Absolutely breathtaking. The rooftop and the swimming pool are beautiful overseeing the ocean and mountains. We couldn’t be happier and definitely will choose this place again when we visit in the near future.

If you want to experience the best of Puerto Vallarta, the location of this condo is perfect. Its right next to the Malecon boardwalk and a few minutes from the Romantic Zone. There are tons of restaurants and shops in very close proximity. You are located right on the esplanade/oceanfront where we were able to see all the street vendors and families every evening. There is also a really great restaurant on the ground floor of the building. Every night we were lulled to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves. The condo itself was a little quirky, but had everything we needed for our vacation. Highly recommend!

Silver lining
Michael’s place is exactly as advertised. They were very helpful at checkin and gave me lots of advice in terms of fun things to do. The balcony was great and the views were nothing short of epic. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a higher end property in the area. I stepped into some drama that dampened my experience….ran into some bad actors and my girlfriend got really upset. None of this had to do with the property, however. Top notch.

Look No More!
I had been looking for a good zoned property in PV to celebrate and vacation for my 40th since February. I finally booked The House of Dolphins in June and I’m so glad I did! First, it’s right on the Malecón, amazing view, security is there 24/7. Shout out to Agustin! You do have to buzz to get out and that was the only thing we didn’t like. BUT!! From the time you get onto the elevator and walk to the Home, you open the doors and it’s just like on the pictures posted. The beds are Super comfortable, they have plenty of towels, kitchenware, extra sheets and pillows. The rooftop pool is AMAZING specially at sunset. You got the beautiful pacific in front and if you turn back you got the big green jungle hills. The building has an OXXO (convenient store) for easy needs. Everything is close by. The Devils Bar, La Langosta Loca, and L’ Angolo Di Napoli we’re some places we frequented while we were there. We took a Luxury yacht and snorkeling excursion with Vallarta Adventures and it was so worth it. Only a 15 minute taxi ride to the port from the place. It was a memorable amazing time and if and when we go back, I will definitely want to stay here again. Thank You so much for having us. It was a beautiful memorable birthday!

Puerto Vallarta Fun!
Our family of four adults has a very enjoyable stay at the "Home of the Dolphins". It is super centrally located to all the fun things to do in downtown Puerto Vallarta - right on the waterfront with only the, always entertaining and enjoyable, Malecón to see in between. The location is perfectly situated for fabulous sunsets from either the large balcony, or from the rooftop pool shared patio. The condo itself is very well appointed and a perfect fit with two bedrooms and two baths - two king beds. The entire unit is air conditioned, but most of the time, while we were there, the sea breezes were so enjoyable that we left the large sliders to both the master bedroom and living room open. Furnishings are comfortable and make for great relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dinnerware and utensils, cookware, and appliances. Access to the unit can be had via an elevator lift, but we usually took the easy stairs up to the third level for the exercise. The condo building has 24 hour, friendly and helpful staff/security and it feels very secure and safe. The surrounding area is always abuzz with activity with it's central location on the Malecón. There are endless shops, restaurants and vendors to visit and we loved people-watching this lively venue from our balcony. PV in this area feels very safe and we walked everywhere daytime and night. Lots of local families enjoy the Malecón as well and so there is always lively entertainment and fun things to see and do!!

Wonderful Home- Excellent Location
We've stayed at many VRBO properties, and quite a few in Mexico. By far, this has been our best experience. The condo is spacious, modern, secure, clean and has everything you need. The owner and management team couldn't be better. Even though right on the bustling Malacon, the nights were quiet, and we easily heard the ocean waves crashing with all of our doors and windows open. After many attempts to glimpse whales both in our home state of Oregon, and here, we spotted them in Banderas bay on numerous occasions for an added bonus! First class!

Great location
Always something to watch. Whales, sunsets and cruise ships. People and entertainers along the Malecon. Close to terrific restaurants and fun bars. The Malecon stays active until late in the evening. It can be loud at night so if you’re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. The fabulous views and location more than compensate for the noise.

About the host

Hosted by MICHEL RUBINI

Host profile image
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

PS: My autobiography entitled "LIFE IN THE KEY OF RUBINI" - A Hollywood Child Prodigy and His Wild Adventures in Crime, Music, Sex, Sinatra and Wonder Woman. It is now out and for sale on Amazon in both Kindle and Softcover editions, so look it up and read a little more and get to know me a lot better!!

Why they chose this property

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 property 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.
