About this property

Location & View ! Luxury Oceanfront Condo, Downtown Puerto Vallarta on Malecon *

Welcome to my Luxury Ocean Front Condominium on the world famous Malecon in downtown Puerto Vallarta

Amazing & completely renovated oceanfront condo.

This historic two bedroom, two bath condo is conveniently located right in the “corazon” (heart) of Puerto Vallarta.

The building was once one of the first luxury hotels in Puerto Vallarta. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor Frequently stayed here when it was the hotel..
.
The condo is right on the The Malecon making it walking distance from restaurants, bars, art galleries, nightlife and many iconic places in Puerto Vallarta.

Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, laundry room, large oceanfront terrace and wrap around balcony with panoramic views of the bay, city lights and the Malecon

Furnished and decorated with modern features making this lovely condo one of a kind.

This home is beautifully appointed and has everything that you might need, including wireless internet access, cable TV, and stunning views of the bay, the Malecon, and the city.

Sitting on the terrazza you can look for dolphins and whales breaching in the bay; or treat yourself to a Sunday night dinner there watching families parading by in their 'Sunday best' .

Fishing and diving charters are just up the street. Old town, the mercado, the beach; art galleries, the cathedral; many of the best restaurants in town; are all right outside your door. If you do want to venture out a little further, you'll never wait more than two minutes for a cab here. Feeling adventurous? The bus stops nearby as well.

I Welcome you to my Fabulous Luxurious home in Puerto Vallarta !

The condo has spectacular views, looks down on the nightly activity on the Malecon and some nights you can hear the local free musical events taking place in the Ampitheater and 'Lighthouse stage'.
It's a combination of Mexican music, crashing of waves, disco music, crowds applause and general night life activity.
A moonlight cocktail at 11 PM is lively, sunrise mornings on the balcony with a cup of coffee watching the pangas come in with their catch is a treasure.
Rock and roll, country western, mariachis, jazz and salsa is the beat you hear and your ear drums may need ear plugs if you're a light sleeper ...not to miss the sounds and great smells from the nearby fabulous restaurants.....you'll want to be out among them.

Great Property and Host

Overall this property was amazing. The views when you walk out onto the patio is breathtaking. You can walk to just about everything which did the nine days we stayed. If you like to be near the party scene then this is your spot. The host is the best we have ever experienced as she checked in with us often to make sure we have everything we need.

Wonderful condo with a breathtaking view!

The condo was perfect and we were very comfortable during our stay. The views from the patio and roof are amazing, we spent every evening watching the sunset and fireworks from there. The location can't be beat, right in the center of all the activity. Judi was an excellent host, very friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this stay!

Location & Host Can't Be Beat

Judi is the best host I've ever worked with. She helped me be prepared for everything and even checked in on us throughout our week stay. The condo is located on the malecon, so expect noise. A lot of it. We thought we understood noise but we didn't. A salsa band played in the building from about 10:30pm to 1am Friday through Sunday. So be prepared to be up and enjoying it! You are close to everything. The view is unbelievable from the balcony. I would stay here with an adult travel group. Thank you Judi for your excellent care of us!

Great gem

We loved this apartment. Photos were very accurate, lots of space, right on the water, near everything. Judy was great, super communicative, very reasonable and flexible and just a very nice person. It’s in a lively night area, so you need to be okay with street noise, but my partner and I loved it and had no issues. Would highly recommend.

Great stay, nice condo. Good neighbors.

The condo is very nice. Great location, if you want to be seriously in the thick of activity then this place wont let you down. Surrounded by great restaurants, a beautiful view of the bay and wonderful neighbors. The owner is very nice and really wants to make sure your stay is memorable. As she was upfront about, the only small negative is that it can get very noisy at times.

Right in the heart

We had a wonderful stay for a week here in February. The listing was exactly as advertised. Amazing views, right in the heart of the action on the malecon. Easy access to food, shops, and bars. The apartment has everything you need to cook, wash clothes, and even has a rooftop deck with great views. The night gets a bit noisy, but the apartment shuts out most of the noise with the doors shut.

Great Location

The condo is located on the Malecon and has a wonderful view of the ocean and the sounds of waves crashing. It can be noisy on the weekend with music from a nearby club . The location is great as you can walk to restaurants and downtown and taxis are easy to find. The one thing I would recommend is better lighting in the bathroom off the bedroom and another lamp in the dining area. The owner lives on site and is easily accessible and was very responsive to our requests. I hope to stay there again.

This property has everything you need and the surroundings are incredible. The pirate ship fireworks every night are a free added bonus! Judi was amazing to work with and answered instantly with any questions. She has Angel meet you at the property and the check in and check out are a breeze. One note...pay attention to the reviews about the noise. If you are a light sleeper, you will indeed need earplugs or earphones to drown out the noise. Really the only night it was super loud was on Saturday. The other nights the noise was mild and we slept like babies. We visited on July 2-9th 2024.

Very nice apartment in a great location

Judi's apartment was in a great location with unobstructed views of the ocean. Some of the little things that I appreciated; - Judi checked me in personally without any hassle. - The Internet was great. - There was ground coffee and a coffee maker available. - The apartment has a large open area with a balcony that looks over the malecon.

Perfect Stay

I think the title sums it up here. First of all Judi was amazing as she was reaching out when we booked her place and again several days before we arrived just to make sure we knew where we were going and how to get there. Every message we sent to her we got an immediate response. Upon arrival we were immediately blown away by the condo and the view. The location is gold as there is everything within short walking distance. We loved it down there and are already checking our calendar to see when we can go back. When we do we will be staying here again as well as already recommending this place to friends and family.

Great Stay!!

My family and I stayed at this property for New Years. Wow! What an amazing view we had from our balcony. The Malecon was lively with music and people strolling the boardwalk, before midnight floating lanterns where released and then at midnight the sky light up with fireworks. It was AMAZING! The condo is very nice with modern features and the kitchen well stocked which made making breakfast nice. This place is close to everything, great restaurants and bars, and yet we felt very safe in our unit. Judi is so nice and very attentive and responds to any messages immediately

Superb view and vacation vibe, clean, inviting

Great view, noisy but fun location on the malecon, nicely decorated, clean, secure. What's not to love? We enjoyed the sunsets, the restaurant selection (don't miss The Burro and Blue Shrimp) also breakfasts on the terrace, and the people-watching at this bustling, tourist-active location. There's an inspirational sculpture just out the terrace door, "In Search of Reason" by Sergio Bustamante--it draws tourists like honey and is so fascinating to watch! And do bring ear plugs! The music is great, but late into the evening you will appreciate the option to wear them or not. Thank you to our gracious host, Judy.

Great location and great host!

We stayed at Judi's wonderful condo in January 2018. The condo was very comfortable and well-equipped. The location of the condo was perfect -- right on the Malecon in the middle of all of the action. The 2nd floor condo faces directly to the ocean and all of the activity below. We enjoyed people watching during the day and all the activity at night including the almost nightly fireworks. One caution -- the night life is quite lively and loud. The music plays well into the night -- usually past 2am. So you many want to consider bringing some earplugs! Judi was a great host and supplied us with many tips and recommendations. You will be happy staying here!

Excellent location to restaurants, stores, and beach. Great view! We saw whales from balcony two days in the row! Host told us to bring earplugs, but didn't realize it was unbelievably loud. Don't know how we managed to sleep. Loud music usually goes on till 2 am. Lighting inside the condo is very low we bumped into glass coffee numerous times. We informed history. Host will look into ways to improve the lighting and glass coffee table.

I have been to Puerto Vallarta 20 or so times. This condo is in the heart of the best of PV with stunning views. When you go in July you know it’s going to be hot, humid and rainy so to have the sweeping ocean views from the indoor comfort of a climate controlled area is awesome when the porch is just too hot. Washer and dryer was amazing to have with the heat and so few clothes. Tons of restaurants and bars next door were handy especially on a night with pouring rain. Yes, the malecon is very loud at night especially on the weekend so that might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed the great music from the balcony and was so tired after a long day that I slept soundly each night. Judi was awesome from a distance in messaging and Angel and the people onsite were also wonderful. Easy check-in and check-out. Felt cared for without feeling like I was being babysat which I appreciated. I will stay here again on future trip!

Amazing sunsets!

The property is exactly as described. Tastefully decorated, clean and all the room we needed for the 2 of us. It was great having 2 bathrooms! The large wrap around balcony is fabulous for watching the amazing sunsets! Judi was very responsive and welcoming! Yes, as a previous person mentioned she asked that I either water the outdoor plants or let her come in to do it. I really did not mind watering them, IT WAS NO BIG DEAL! The location on the Malecon is both the condo's best feature and it's worst. On the Malecon, you are right in the middle of everything. What ever you would want is right outside your door. But, yes the noise level at times can be quite loud. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs or join the party until it ends :)

Hi there, I purchased this condo in December 2016
It is in a small 11 unit building that was converted to condos from one of the first hotels in PV and has recently been renovated to first class and updated with beautiful new furnishings.
The people that live in the complex are like family, friendly lovely folks who look out for each other !

I live in Boulder, Colorado and have been traveling to Puerto Vallarta for many years to enjoy the warmth of the sun, the ocean and the wonderful local friendly people

Oceana Plata condominiums have once been the famous hotel near the original light house on the malecón. This was a building in the early 1960’s where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor hung out with famous and non-famous friends in the restaurant and bar.

In-town living in Ocean Plata gives an occupant the ability to view the malecon‘s art galleries, in particular Bustamante’s “In Search of Reason” The bronze pillow -headed mother and her two children symbolize the classic story of children venturing out from the security of their mother’s care, while she is imploring them to “use reason.”

Living in the heart of the city, you experience its pulse. You are a customer of the knife sharpener man, the bread man. You walk to buy tamales for home, also stopping to purchase home-made camote for an evening dessert or tomorrow’s breakfast with cold milk. You experience the art scene, including ever-changing sand sculptures. Fireworks are frequent celebrations of light and color in front of Guadalupe Church and the town plaza.
