Penthouse Condo with Private Rooftop Terrace. Short walk to the Beach & Malecón.

Bienvenido a Un Regalo del Cielo! (Welcome to A Gift from Heaven). This award winning renovated Penthouse condo is located in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, just north of the Malecon in Downtown Puerto Vallarta. Experience the beautiful views of the bay and the city, along with the gorgeous sunsets from your own private rooftop terrace while you relax in the hot tub. Enjoy the convenience of being within a short walk to the beach, the Malecón and many of the incredible restaurants and bars that PV has to offer.

The building has secured entry and is comprised of 15 units. There is a shared rooftop pool, only a few steps down from the the entry to Regalo del Cielo. The complex offers WiFi throughout the building and a small air conditioned workout room.

This condo has two master bedrooms with king beds and private bathrooms and smart TV's. The widows and sliding glass doors were recently replaced with double pane tinted windows and doors for added privacy and noise reduction.

The kitchen contains state of the art appliances, including refrigerator, gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer and wine cooler. It is well stocked with most of the utensils you'd find at home. Other amenities include Wifi and a washer and dryer.

When staying here you will be able to enjoy the privacy of your own rooftop terrace. On the terrace you will find the hot tub, patio furniture, fire pit table, lounge chairs, a custom made stand alone bar, refrigerator, ice maker and a BBQ for your enjoyment. The washer and dryer are also located on the terrace. There is also a half bathroom on the terrace. The terrace is above the unit and can only be accessed via the stairwell within the unit. From the Terrace you can enjoy the sensational views of the ocean and the city along with incredible sunsets and nightly fireworks over the bay. In the Spring you can witness incredible shows put on by humpback whales in the Bay of Banderas.

The rooftop pool sits below the stairwell entry to Un Regalo del Cielo. This shared area has lounge chairs, patio furniture, a 1/2 bathroom, a BBQ and an outdoor rinsing shower for your use.

The beach, Playa Camarones, is seven short blocks from the condo and takes 5-7 minutes to walk, depending on your pace. The heart of Puerto Vallarta, "The Malecón", is 12 blocks away and takes 10-14 minutes to get to on foot. Old Town, also referred to as the Romantic Zone or Los Muertos Beach, is 2km (1.24 miles) away and takes 25-27 minutes to walk to along the Malecón.

With the help of an incredible property management company, Life Property Management, we will do what we can to make your vacation an incredible experience with the intent of seeing you return again and again.

Loved this special, wonderful place!!
We usually stay in Zona Romantica a bit further south in PV but decided to try something new. We loved this place, as well as the neighborhood 5 de Deciembre. The penthouse condo is amazing! Very light and bright, great layout with the living room, dining room, gorgeous kitchen - all with great views over town and the ocean beyond. Two king bedrooms each with its own bathroom were great! Plenty of room for clothes and stuff, lots of hangers in the closets, comfortable beds, nice sheets and pillows which was awesome. I’m picky about beds and pillows. Location was super. We love to walk, and walked all over town, down to Dee’s for coffee and fresh raspberry scones and cinnamon rolls! Walked to arts district and ArtWalk which was fantastic. Good restaurants all over the place. We liked having Meno’s on the next block as they had dependably great breakfast and dinner and impeccable service. It was handy having it right there, and again great views! Yes it’s noisy in PV. That’s part of the experience being someplace different and full of life! We brought a little Bluetooth speaker for white noise at night and worked like a charm. Owner/manager just wonderful - we can’t wait to return! Thank you Rich and Angel!

Above and Beyond
The pictures on VRBO do not do this condo's location justice. The views, especially the sunsets were spectacular. Having our own private terrace above the condo elevated (no pun intended) the experience and as a result we spent every morning and almost every evening enjoying the scenery. The location was perfect because we were within walking distance to local markets, grocery store, and many restaurants and food stands. We were able to cook many wonderful meals as a result of easy access to food. The condo itself is modernly finished but remains cozy and inviting. Everything was clean and no bugs. A nice perk was the location of the pool just 4 steps down from the condo and although the pool was so close, we were never disturbed by anyone enjoying the pool and deck when we were not. Security was not an issue, as access to the building is truly restricted to only those staying there. We always felt safe regardless of the time when walking the streets. Speaking of walking, the streets on either side of the condo are steep, and a great source of exercise. We would occasionally see people taking a break half way up the hill. By the time we left, the hill was easy to manage and a great source of exercise, especially after some awesome local tacos. Our only complaint is that the condo is not available for the same time frame next year! Its already booked.

It is Truly Heaven!
You will not at all regret your time at all at un Regalo Del Cielo. This penthouse condo was everything and more and it was the perfect place for our group of four to ring in the New Year in Puerto Vallarta. You will certainly enjoy the modern layout of the condo with all its amenities and the private terrace will be the absolute perfect place to hang out and work on that sun tan, drink some margaritas and just enjoy the beautiful views and weather of Puerto Vallarta. Pictures don't do this place justice, and you will find yourself wanting to stay forever and never leaving! Communication with Rich and Angel was seamless, they took care of everything for us, from advance grocery shopping, to welcoming us at the penthouse to booking in-house private massages for us. Definitely book this place, you will love it!

Cannot wait to visit again
I could not love this condo more! The view from both the roof and the penthouse are unlike anything I’ve experienced. Sunsets from the roof are spectacular with each day better than the last. We actually need to plan another visit to explore PV more because I never wanted to leave the condo. It provided the perfect R and R. Angel, the property manager, was kind and knowledgeable. He was responsive to our needs and made check in and check out move smoothly. Laura outdid herself with the property’s cleanliness. Rich, the property owner, communicated well making sure that we were prepared for our stay and accommodating any initial needs upon our arrival. As our first family VRBO experience, this team has set the bar high! One recommendation- when we return, we will not rent a car. Uber is a much better option as parking around town can be challenging.

Great place!
Vert clean and spacious. It's the penthouse unit of a small apt bldg. The pool is shared with other units but there are blinds to block the windows. It was seldom used by few adult people and wasn't a problem. The unit is at the top of a steep hill and getting to town was about a 15-25min walk, depending on where you're going. Dogs are barking throughout the night but they offer ear plugs which help. Elevator or stairs available to top floor. Otherwise, super clean and all the things you would need. Beds were great, towels smelled good. Roof deck has a great view. Really nice place!

A great stay in a fantastic home
We had a great time staying in Rich's condo. Rich, Angel, Laura, and Juan Carlos were all fantastic at every step. They were all very responsive to all our questions and any issues we encountered. The unit is as beautiful as the pictures show it. It was also extremely well stocked with everything needed to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and fire table every day of our stay. There are also a bunch of great options for healthy food close to the unit. We highly recommend "The Green Place" if you like great tasting vegan options. As a few others have pointed out, the condo is located in a somewhat residential area of Puerto Vallarta. There will be some noise from doggies, street vendors, etc., and the walk up the hill could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. We also experienced a few relatively brief periods without water in the unit. Rich, Angel, and the on-site property manager were all very responsive to this situation. I mention these items only to make sure potential renters aren't surprised by minor issues. I try to approach life with an appreciation that if my "glass" is 95% full and 5% empty... it's pretty easy to enjoy the 95% and ignore the 5%. If that's how you approach things, you'll have a great time in this fantastic condo.

Little piece of Heaven!
Our stay was fantastic and the rental had absolutely everything we needed and more! it was so wonderful to have the rooftop to ourselves and the pool mere steps away. We have been to many rentals over the years and this place tops the list! We will definitely be back! Although you are not on the beach it is a short walk to the beach but remember what goes down must come up and there is a very very large steep hill before getting to this condo however you truly get an advantage, during the day you can see whales jumping if you are staying in March (most active) and the most beautiful sunsets at night as well as seeing the beach but also the city and all it's beautiful lights it is well worth the walk up the hill every day! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Great Stay
If you are looking to experience PV like a local but in 1st class accommodations, this place is for you. The property has everything you could possibly need, in a great location with incredible views. Smooth check-in process, good communication, and they coordinated airport transportation. There is some noise from construction and dogs but it's expected as you are in the city, not some resort. EVERYTHING is close, beach, grocery store, coffee shops, bars, restaurants, Malecon, that's if you want to leave the place. The shared pool is steps away, private patio with chairs, hot tub, etc make it tough to leave. Felt very safe the whole time. Would stay here again next time in PV.

Fabulous penthouse condo
Really can’t say enough about this fantastic light filled, airy penthouse condo. Great views from the private large rooftop too, which also gets plenty of sun throughout the whole day (and shade if necessary). All appliances and (private) BBQ are top notch quality. Bedding and towels were higher end materials and very comfy. Pool is shared, but often not always in use from other residents. Hosts (Angel and Chris) were super attentive, responsive and gracious. Can’t wait to book again. Definitely will be back. Thank you!

We WILL be back!
This exceeded all of our expectations. First of all, Rich reached out to me prior to the trip to answer a question regarding a flexibility request. He was unbelievably accommodating and I immediately felt great about the trip. Angel was the property manager and I'm pretty sure we could have hung out with him all week--what a great guy. The condo was incredible with more than enough inside (they even had weighted blankets!). The terrace was out go to place for our family to hang out and a day didn't go by where we didn't walk down the street for taco carts. We will absolutely be staying here on our next visit. Thank you for the memories Rich and Angel! Adam

Excellent rental
Our stay was great. The condo is well appointed and taken care of. The property manager and owner are excellent to talk with and get ahold of. When we stayed in Oct. there wasn't very many quests at the condo so we had the pool to ourselves and the hot tub balcony is private and provides a great view of Puerto Vallarta. You are a short walk to the beach and the condo had beach chairs, umbrella on the back porch. There are also floating chairs for the pool. It is in a great location with awesome restaurants and tacos nearby. I would say if you have mobility issues you must walk up a fairly steep hill to reach the apartment. You can uber home but to go eat at Meno’s, which is a block and half from the condo, walking is the best option. To get back to the condo you will walk up a short but steep hill. All in all, this is a great property and the owner cares about making it a great place to stay. Highly recommend it.

Spectacular View
We truly enjoyed our trip. The property has a lot to offer and the view makes it a great spot. We spent a couple of nights on the private rooftop patio which was a great spot to listen to some music and watch the sunset. Almost every late afternoon we took advantage of using the pool, it is a shared pool but we pretty much had it to ourselves. Angel was very helpful whenever we needed anything. He also helped arrange a personal chef to come in to the property for my birthday and cook us dinner. It was a couple and they did a wonderful job as well. I think it was my favorite meal of the week. Laura the housekeeper did an excellent job as well. Thank you Rich, Angel and Laura for making it such a memorable trip.

This condo feels like a home away from home the minute we arrived. Angel met us upon arrival and showed us around and answered any questions we had. We could walk to restaurants and grocery stores and the beach very easy. I normally choose a place on the beach when traveling to Mexico but this time decided to try something different. This condo is a few blocks from the beach and it was a good decision on my part because the views were spectacular. PV is beautiful!! A week is not long enough!! Thank you Rich for sharing your home with us. Everything was so comfortable we were truly relaxed!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

We had a great time while in Puerto Vallarta. The condo is exactly as described in the listing. Angel, the property manager was great. I had some travel issues, but he and Rich (owner) worked with me to facilitate my checkin. Easy walk to the Malecon Boardwalk, where there was plenty of restaurant and shopping. Easy 10 minute ride to Zone Romantico. We enjoyed the hot tub most of all, especially at sunset where you had a great view out over the water. This was an easy 5 star rating!!
