Ballenita, Santa Elena, Santa Elena, Ecuador
Located on Ecuador’s beautiful Pacific Coast, Ballenita is a small coastal community with fantastic views of the sea from which residents and visitors often sight groups of migrating whales. “Ballenita” is, in fact, Spanish for “little whale” in tribute to these fascinating giants of the oceans. Ballenita manages to retain its quaint fishing village atmosphere despite its proximity to the shopping and business center of La Libertad, the nightlife of nearby Salinas, and the bohemian surfing mecca of Montañita to the north. In the midst of this beauty, we find this apartment set aside in a larger house, tucked away on a hillside overlooking the Pacific. This separate apartment is situated on the ground floor of a home on a lot in a largely undeveloped area, surrounded by lush vegetation and panoramic ocean views. From the front door, you step into a roomy open-concept main area with a high ceiling. Here, you find spaces for living and entertainment, dining, and kitchen. The bedroom and bathroom, with step-in shower, are on this level, at the rear of the apartment. There is a bonus loft space above the kitchen, accessed by a set of stairs to one side of the main living area. This apartment is being rented furnished, has air conditioning, and includes the garage on site for parking. This is an opportunity for an affordable rental in charming Ballenita that you do not want to miss!
