Condo with Spectacular Views of the Bay and Old Town

The magic of Puerto Vallarta defies explanation. Vallarta, as this sultry area straddling the bay in the state of Jalisco is known to locals has managed to retain the unmistakable flavor of colonial Mexico--the real Mexico. The original downtown area, Viejo Vallarta (Old Town Vallarta), is the heart of PV with small whitewashed-adobe buildings, red-tiled roofs, and steep cobblestone streets that wind down from the lush Sierra Madres. It's easy to explore on foot as it spills out onto the seafront.

Your home for your stay is the first building in the Villas de las Colinas cluster. Tucked into the mountains with the lushness of the jungle for privacy, you are just a short walk or a quick taxi ride to downtown. The seafront promenade, known as the Malecon, is the focal point of local life, with whimsical sculptures lining an 11-block strip of boutiques, cafes, and cozy bistros along the shore.

Art galleries run the gamut in PV; you'll find locales representing pottery from across Mexico as well as individual artists selling their own works.

Located in the prestigious Amapas area and surrounded by million dollar homes this condo is perched on the hillside amidst the lush tropical vegetation directly above Banderas Bay. This brand new 4th floor, 2100 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 bath corner view condo gives you unobstructed panoramic views of the entire Bay, Old Town Vallarta and the Sierra Madres.

The gourmet kitchen opens onto the terrace and provides state of the art appliances with a spacious granite countertop and plenty of cupboards and a pantry. A six burner stove with full oven, French door refrigerator with built-in purified water and ice dispenser, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and blender. Calphalon pots and pans, dishes, flatware, glasses and cooking utensils are provided.

The master bedroom boasts a corner view entirely of European 6 mm glass sliding doors open to the terrace. A king size bed with pillow top mattress and luxurious bedding ensures a peaceful sleep. The open concept bath area with walk-in closet/dressing area, double vessel sinks on marble counters, separate shower with seating and frameless glass door, private toilet area and sunken tub all with top of the line brushed nickel fixtures. The guest bedroom has a queen bed with pillow top mattress and an adjoining full bath also with vessel sink, separate shower with seating and frameless glass doors plus brushed nickel fixtures. The 'on demand' gas water heating system provides limitless hot water.

Ceiling fans are located in every room including the terrace plus mini-split air conditioners with remotes in both bedrooms and living area. The open concept living area has a 37' plasma tv, both Star choice Satellite and wireless internet available throughout the condo. The condo provides a washer and dryer.

Grab your beach gear and take a taxi for the short ride to one of PV's most beautiful beaches for lunch and fun in the sun. When you are well-done, head back to the condo to change for the evening's events, which start with frosty margaritas on the balcony and a front-row view of the fireworks.

Some of Mexico's and the world's top chefs have settled in PV and opened restaurants. Culturally and gastronomically speaking, PV ranks second only to Mexico City.

Whatever you find as your pleasure while visiting PV, you know you can head for the hilltop above the bay and enjoy the panoramic views of the sea and the soft music you hear from below. And as you end your vacation in PV, no doubt you'll agree with director Huston, who once wrote of his haven at Las Caletas: 'Now that I'm a certain age, I'm following a piece of old Irish advice in going to live by the sea: 'It stops old wounds from hurting. It revives the spirit. It quickens the mind and body, yet lends tranquility to the soul.''

Long term renters welcome.
