Beach Front Private House 2bd

DávidRating, 5 stars1 month ago
If you've made it this far and are reading the reviews, know that you've found the best accommodation in Montañita and the surrounding area. No need to keep searching. 😊 The beachside house is truly an experience in itself. It’s clean, well-equipped, and has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. The location is set away from the noisiest part of town, so you won't be disturbed by loud music. The accommodation was exactly as described and matched the photos perfectly. Karen, the host, is amazing; we wish more hosts were like her. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Suite 6 - Hermosa suite matrimonial

JuanJoRating, 5 stars13 months ago
The accommodation is very nice and very well located (one block from the beach and close to restaurants and bars). Most importantly, it was VERY clean. The suite is comfortable and well equipped. The place is nice, the pool is nice and the hammocks top. On the other hand, Oloncito has a very varied gastronomic offer. Top-notch restaurants and bars, but keep quiet to rest. This stay is highly recommended.

Lovely place, up on the hill, overlooking the water but still only a 15 minute walk to the main town and supermarket. Open space with a clean kitchen and all cooking utensils. Hot water available and quick WiFi. Thanks!

La Casa de Curia Ocean view House

MistyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Casa La Curia was beautiful, nestled among greenery but also close to the beach, our favorite combo. The house is larger than the photos given it justice with many levels perfect for kids. The decor of the house is intriguing. various tools as well as art local to Ecuador. everyday we noticed something new. The craftsman ship of this house is incredible. you can see it was built by hand and made to last the test of time. The love going into it can be felt throughout. Lastly, Gilson was invaluable. we probably utilized him every single day for assistance navigating the area. At the end of out stay he felt like more of a friend than the administrator. Certainly another assest to the experience. I also want to say this, we toured many homes in the area newer and older. Casa La Curia had everything. You will find it difficult to get the size, expirence, location, privacy, Quality and hospitality in one house. Thank you Bernardo and many blessings to you and your family,

Splash - country house between coast and mountain range

BenjaminRating, 5 starstoday
Excellent stay. Ana was responsive and extremely helpful. Lots of hot water, which if you've been to Ecuador before is always a roll of the dice. Hot tub worked, again nice to see in Ecuador. Kitchen was well stocked and huge. Even had cast iron pans, which I have no idea where she got those from here. Beautiful trees in which lots of birds played in. Quiet. Shaded. Plenty of space for events, if that's your thing. (wasn't ours, we just chilled out). Highly recommend.
