San Lorenzo - Salinas, Salinas, Santa Elena, Ecuador
It is said that we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us, and there is truth to that statement. The paradox is that it is by escaping the powerful hold of the everyday demands of life that we discover amazing opportunities to connect with the world around us that give life deeper meaning. Time spent at the beach is one of the most enjoyable of those opportunities. The elements of nature fill your senses: the warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of the salt air, the sight of turquoise and cerulean blue water that stretches beyond the horizon, and the rhythm of the tides as they ebb and flow seemingly matches your breathing and each heartbeat. Let me help you plan your escape to Ecuador’s beautiful Pacific coast! This bright and sunny condo is located near the beginning of the Salinas Malecón, in the San Lorenzo neighborhood. Consisting of approximately 3,014 square feet, this air conditioned unit is just steps from a quiet, sandy beach. The living and dining areas are designed as one large, open space, connected seamlessly to a spacious enclosed balcony area. Sliding glass doors provide beautiful views even while closed, but open them and you will feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves breaking against the shore. The separate kitchen is light and bright, with white tiles and upper and lower cabinets providing plenty of storage space. It is fully outfitted with gas range, microwave, and full-size refrigerator, and has plenty of space for the table and chairs for the cook to take a break! There is a guest half bath convenient to the main living areas. The master bedroom features a picture window, a dressing area, closet, and a Hollywood-style split en suite master bathroom that compartmentalizes the main entry and vanity area, while the toilet, bidet, and shower are in a separate area for privacy. The second bedroom offers two twin beds and a floor-to-ceiling closet. The third bedroom features a twin bed and its own floor-to-ceiling closet. There is a full bathroom with shower shared by the second and third bedrooms. Just off the kitchen is a laundry/utility room with a soaking sink, washer and dryer, as well as, service quarters and a third full bathroom convenient to the kitchen and these service areas. You will love the social areas and amenities of Edificio Mediterrane, which include a beautiful pool and hot tub, with attractive poolside lounging areas, and covered areas for those times when you want a little shade. The entire area is designed with a Mediterranean style with a white stucco look, arches and columns, symmetrical design elements, and attractive poolside decking utilizing natural materials and terracotta tiles. This building is located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Salinas, quieter than further along the Malecón, but still within walking distance of an array of restaurants, shops, businesses, and parks. Best of all, when you crave a walk on the beach, you are only steps away. Now is the time to escape to the very heartbeat and life’s breath of nature!
