Welcome to Condo Vista del Rio! We spent many years looking for the perfect holiday home and were thrilled when we found this bright, spacious condo so close to the beaches, markets and restaurants we've come to enjoy.
We spend most of our time on the large balcony enjoying the incredible treetop views over the Cuale River and out to the ocean.
Located on a quiet side street in the Zona Romantica, Condo Vista del Rio is a luxuriously finished 2 Bedroom-2 Bathroom condo in a small, boutique style building overlooking the Cuale River. Within a few short, flat blocks you will find Los Muertos Beach, The Malecon, Isla Cuale, shops, restaurants, café’s, live theatre and the Emiliano Zapata outdoor food market.
Working with a local architect, we customized the interior to take advantage of the open floor plan, 11’ ceilings and spectacular views. Embracing traditional Mexican craftsmanship and the simplicity of mid-century modern design, we have created a carefree vacation home where the living areas flow easily from indoors to out allowing guests to enjoy Puerto Vallarta’s tropical climate.
The Kitchen and huge eating island with granite counters are ideal for cooking a a quick lunch, a large, multi-course meal or just having a glass of wine and reheating your leftovers from last night’s dinner! There is an icemaker, blender, toaster and your choice of Kuerig, Drip or Espresso coffee makers. A separate bar area offers extra storage and glassware. All of the appliances have been upgraded and the Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, baking and entertaining.
The Living Room opens onto the Balcony and has a comfortable sectional sofa, large wall mounted 4K HD Smart TV with live streaming TV, Apple TV, Blu Ray/DVD Player and Soundbar.
Both Bedrooms have high quality pillow top mattresses, luxurious 100% cotton bed linens, wall mounted Smart TV’s, ample storage space, ceiling fans and ensuite bathrooms with hotel style vanities and oversized glass showers. The Main Bedroom has an extra long King Sized Bed and the Second Bedroom has a King Sized Bed that can be split into two single beds upon request.
On the Balcony, there is a full sized gas grill, dining table for 4 to 6 people and a comfortable daybed. You’ll enjoy 180° views across the river and treetops out to Banderas Bay and Punta Mita. In the early evening, you may be able to hear the Mariachi’s from Casa Kimberley (Elizabeth Taylor’s former home) and, after dark; you’ll see the Crown on the Church and the nightly fireworks.
For warmer days, there are ultra quiet ceiling fans and high-efficiency mini-split air conditioners in the main Living Area and both Bedrooms.
