Disliked: Location, listing accuracy

Not what I expected

I booked this property solely based on being able to have private and EASY access to the beach. I was also told that everything was within walking distance again not true. The owner himself gave me this information. Once I got there I found that not only did I have to walk about 3 New York City blocks to the beach but I also needed to take cabs everywhere because nothing was close by. NOTHING. There was an EMPTY house that had a pool but that was off limits to all accept the renters of that houseā€¦it stood EMPTY the entire time that I was there and I was denied access to it. I booked for ten days I was there for 4 /5 days and moved to a different and much better area for way cheaper and ON THE BEACH with access to the pool as well. The location of this property is beautiful but itā€™s definitely not a ā€œvacationā€ spot kind of place. At least not for active people. Perfect spot for honeymooners or older couples that just want to sit in a hammock all day. Perhaps being more accommodating to your actual guests who complain about being lied to would be helpful in the future. I wonā€™t be returning here.

Great stay

The casa is exactly as shown, everything was functional and we felt at home. There are a few other houses that share the driveway and to get out of the property you need to rely on the property manager or his family to open the gate (they live right beside it). The only suggestion we have is to improve this process because we felt bothersome whenever we wanted in and out. The beach access is across the road down a little path. We didnā€™t swim at the beach but it was secluded and lovely. No issues with safety either on the beach or at the property. The hammocks were great and we slept on the deck one night because the ocean sounds were too hypnotic to leave and there were fireflies to watch. There is a great a/c system in the bedroom and apparently access to washing machine but we didnā€™t see it (we didnā€™t look though). Thereā€™s also an awesome outdoor shower to rinse off the beach sand! Lots of millipedes in the casa but this is to be expected given our surroundings. We came from Manta and picked up groceries in Purto Lopez market. Curia is very tiny so we took day trips to MontaƱita (ate out, swam and more groceries) and Olon, very close-by and an easy drive. Great place, we would stay again

In sehr guter Lage, ca 400 mtr vom Strand, ca 25 mtr Ć¼ber dem Meeresspiegel. Meeresblick, Sonnenuntergang und das Rauschen der Brandung ergeben ein sehr gutes Ambiente, Die Casita ist Teil einer Kolonie mit 4 HƤusern, 2 davon sind ebenfalls mietbar aber fĆ¼r 12 bis 16 Personen, der Abstand zu diesen ist groƟ genug um sich nicht bedrƤngt zu fĆ¼hlen, Die Casita zeigt Altersspuren, ist aber sauber und wird tƤglich vom Personal gereinigt, wie im Hotel. Man bekommt eine volle Einrichtung mit Klima, Ventilator, Kabel-TV, KĆ¼hlschrank, Herd, Mikro usw, die WƤsche wird auf Wunsch vom Personal gewaschen, fĆ¼r Waschpulver und WeichspĆ¼ler kommt man selbst auf. Einkaufen kann man in Olan, etwa 2 km sĆ¼dlich davon, es gibt Restaurants en mass mit gutem Essen und nicht zu teuer. Das FrĆ¼hstĆ¼ck auf der Terasse gehƶrte zu den Highlights. Das Personal ist freundlich und kĆ¼mmert sich um einen, Die Lage ist sicher und auch Insekten und sonstiges hƤlt sich in Grenzen. Man sollte Ecuador und sein Wetter kennen und sich fĆ¼r die richtige Saison entscheiden.Alles in allen- 5 von 5 und ideal fĆ¼r zwei.

Peaceful property, safe and close to beach.

House had all we needed. Clean and comfortable. Gilson is an excellent host, made sure we had all we needed and more. Enjoyed walks and bike ride on beach. Description accurate. Would recommend to others.
