About this property

Ocean Front Casa Luz - Incredible Views in the best location!

Pure Ocean Front::
This is one of only a few luxury condos directly on the water, with stunning views of the ocean and right on the world-famous Malecon in downtown Puerto Vallarta. The location couldn't be any better: Restaurants, Bars and Shops, and many iconic places in Puerto Vallarta, all within a few minute's walking distance.
The building was one of the first luxury hotels in Puerto Vallarta. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor Frequently stayed here when it was a hotel.

3rd Floor, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, laundry room, large oceanfront wrap-around terrace with panoramic views of the bay, city lights, and the Malecon. You also will enjoy the rooftop with sun chairs, umbrellas, dining tables, and chairs

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

Spot whales beyond the palms and crashing surf as sounds waft from a buzzing street. The living space flows through sliding glass doors to a wraparound deck with sublime views, pops of fresh color and quaint artifacts pepper the traditional styling.

Fishing and diving charters are just up the street. The old town, the Mercado, the beach, art galleries, the cathedral, and many of the best restaurants in town are all right outside your door. If you want to venture out a little further, you'll never wait more than two minutes for a cab or an Uber ride here. Feeling adventurous?

Your vacation experience is a combination of Mexican music, crashing waves, disco music, crowd applause, and general nightlife activity. If you are a light sleeper, use our Alexa Echo in both bedrooms for soothing white noise. Instructions are attached to the furniture in each bedroom. The blanket of white noise comes in handy, especially on weekends when there is a live salsa band from 10 PM to 1 AM in the restaurant two stories down. Or better yet, just join the fiesta!
... Don't miss the sounds and great smells from the nearby fabulous restaurants. you want to be out among them.

We have significantly renovated the Condo. Please see the pictures towards the end of the photo series, with the new "look and feel" - Top modern furniture and electronics have been added!

Here is what our previous guest have said:

The location couldn’t be more fun, and the views were more breathtaking. Located directly opposite Bustamante’s famous “In Search of Reason,” this is a bustling stretch of the Malecon. Yes, the music can run late (hosts have provided earplugs— didn’t need them) but the crashing surf was a delightful soporific. Beds and furnishings were of the highest quality. We loved the in-house restaurant with limey (rather than syrupy) margaritas. But the balcony was the star of the show. Whether people watching, sharing a bottle of wine, or just reading book, I promise you will remember your time there. (David, 12.2018)

Wonderful place in a spectacular location. The host was attentive and available to address all of questions which were mostly local places to enjoy. The flat is wonderfully spacious with all your needs for a comfortable stay. Will definitely return to Patrick’s place. (Kimber, 4/2019)

Patrik's place is best VRBO i have stayed in. Amazing views from the balcony and the perfect location for our stay. Everything was 10/10 and we can't wait to go back! (Michael, 5/2019)

Beautiful, clean space in the heart of the Malecon - we wanted for nothing as Patrick and Luz have everything covered, even noise cancelling fans and tequila! From getting from the airport, local trips and faves, to the most helpful onsite manager (Angel the ), they have created a great space that allows for a great vacation. (Charlene, 5/2019)

We have stayed in PV numerous times and Patrik’s condo has been our favourite. The view is breathtaking, the location is perfect and the condo is absolutely beautiful. Beyond our expectations. We will definetly be back. Patrik was a great host, very quick to respond and always checking up to make sure everything is good. I can’t give Casa Luz a high enough review. (Suzanna, 11/2018)

Patrik's place is beautiful, just as it looks in the pictures. The view is amazing and having the large doors that open all the way give it such an open feeling, with the ocean right below. The welcome postcard with the complimentary tequila was a very nice touch. Patrik is a wonderful host, responds very quickly and very helpful. The location is great, right on the Malecon in Centro close to many bars, restaurants, plus of course the ocean is right there and beach isn't far. The downside of being right on the Malecon and in the middle of things is the noise, so be prepared. Otherwise would highly recommend! (Merridy, 11/2018)

Casa Luz was wonderful!

From the moment we arrived we were pleased with the location and views. We were greeted by a unit manager who handed us the keys, gave us a tour of the condo and answered any questions we had. The owners had helpful notes/labels throughout the unit. We never had any issues. Yes, there is a bar/restaurant close to the unit and it can be noisy but the noise never went past midnight. Plus the owners have Alexa devices in each room that can drown out the outside noise. The unit is in a safe area and it has building exterior doors that lock. It also has an elevator so no stair climbing. The balcony views are breathtaking and we spent most evenings and mornings sitting outside. Best place to see the Puerto Vallarta Sunset. Next time we come to Puerto Vallarta we will be seeking to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!!

We love staying here! Such a convenient and beautiful location! The lively nightlife doesn't bother us and we don't even notice when we close up for the night. The house is very well appointed with anything you need and Patrik and Anchel are lovely and responsive hosts. Can't wait to come back next year!

Room with a View

The Condo we rented was located right on the waterfront in the middle of the Puerto Vallarta Malecon. We were on the 4th floor which gave us an unobstructed 180 degree view of the water and the sliding patio doors fully opened to allow indoor/outdoor living. The second to last morning we saw a pod of whales in the bay while sitting on the patio and were lucky enough to see one jump right out of the water in front of us about 200-300 yards off shore. The condition of the accommodations was superb with sound proofing windows that blocked out most of the external noise and allowed for a peaceful sleep. The offsite owner Patrik was very proactive in texting us to ensure we had everything we needed and the onsite property manager Angel was quick to assist us with any questions that we had. There were countless restaurants within a 5 minute walk as well a full kitchen to prepare meals for when we just wanted to stay in and relax. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience that I would highly recommend!!

Right on the Malecon, stunning view of the Bay with all its activities including the pirate ship setting off spectacular fireworks every night! Well equipped, lots of space, clean as a whistle.

Amazing views and location!

The two of us had an amazing time! The location is very convenient to local restaurants and various activities. When not out exploring, we spent most of our time on the spacious balcony which offers incredible views of the entire bay. You can hear the street sounds and music from next door but it didn't bother us and we actually enjoyed that added part to the mexican vacation atmosphere. The bulding istelf is very quiet and private with a gate that is locked at all times. The owner and on site manager both make sure you have everything you need and are always accessible to help. Thank you Patrick for your hospitality, great recommendations and for letting us enjoy your unit! We can't wait to come back! Marie & Rob

Beautiful condo in a killer location

Three of us (self, wife and elderly Mom) had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo right in the center of it all. You cannot possibly have a better location, right in the center of the Malecon. The owner, Patrik makes great effort to stay in touch throughout your stay enquiring about your comfort and enjoyment while in PV. His suggestions in the PV guide he sends you as well as through his emails and texts are right on. e.g. his suggestion for a massage studion just up the malecon was just great. Patrik has decorated the unit and maintained it really well with just about everything you would ever need. Likewise, Angel (pronounced Anchel) is also available on premises, with a smile, to help you out with whatever issues you might have. We had to call a doctor to attend on my wife (she fell sick as soon as we arrived) and Angel was quick to respond, having a doctor make a house call for us. He was also good with suggestions on where to go to find many things locally. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are ever considering a trip to PV, it cannot possibly get any better than this. Everything is easy walking distance from here and Uber rides are only 50-75 pesos for most locations within Centro (downtown) and PV South (Romantic Zone). You don't need a car for anything. Thanks Patrik and Angel for making this so memorable.
