There is a reason time always seems to fly by when you’re having a great time. Science explains that pleasurable events boost dopamine release, which may lead to a faster perception of time. Also, when you are “in the moment” your attention is directed toward the pleasure you’re experiencing, rather than the passage of time. Here’s the thing about this phenomenon: the bad news may be that time flies, but the good news is YOU are the pilot! You are in charge of navigating your life, so you might as well seek out the best way to spend it. Imagine finding a place where each day can be filled with enjoyment, relaxation, and fun. Now imagine it being within your grasp! The Chipipe neighborhood in Salinas, Ecuador, offers an abundance of opportunities for pleasurable activities, and this affordable condo is located right in the heart of this quiet community. The Chipipe Malecón and one of the most beautiful and family-friendly beaches on Ecuador’s sunny Pacific Coast is just one short block away. The beach fringes a protected bay, so the waves are gentle, perfect for wading, swimming, and water toys, or you can relax in a beach chair under the shade of an umbrella, and enjoy a tropical drink from one of the vendors that stop by. Nearby is the Ecuadorian military base, which is open for visitors to be able to tour the Visitor’s Center at El Morro, walk to the very tip of the Peninsula at La Chocolatera, or utilize one of the tower binocular viewers to get a closer look at the gigantic pinnipeds at La Lobería, the sea lion island! This 1,130-square-foot condo has an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area featuring a full wall of windows at the far end, overlooking the tip of the peninsula – the westernmost point of mainland Ecuador. You have a view of the Pacific all day, but the sunsets will be spectacular. The kitchen has a U-shaped design with sand-colored upper and lower cabinets boasting exquisite granite backsplash and countertops that create a convenient breakfast bar area. There are spaces for a range/oven and refrigerator, and a corner of the kitchen is plumbed for a washer/dryer laundry niche. The master bedroom is spacious and features a large picture window with that same west-facing ocean view. There is also a large, built-in closet and a fully-tiled master bathroom with oversized vanity. The second bedroom is a good size and also has a large built-in closet. A second full bathroom is convenient to both the second bedroom and the main living areas. All the wood work throughout this unit is brand new. The unit is being sold unfurnished so you will be able to create the environment that will be bring the most joy to your life. The condo includes two designated parking spaces in the attached parking garage. Call today and let’s test the theory that time flies when you’re having fun!

Time spent at the beach is one of the most enjoyable of those opportunities.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home on one of the beautiful, small islands in Ecuador’s Galapagos Archipelago. Floreana Island has an area of approximately 67 square miles, and although home to the first Galapagos resident, and the first island to be colonized by Ecuadorians, now has a population of only about 120 persons. If you have ever dreamed of having a “tropical island getaway” this has to be it. To reach this secluded paradise, you fly into Santa Cruz Island and then take a one hour and twenty minute boat ride to Floreana for $30. From there, this lovely two-story home is less than a ten minute walk from the pier. There is a small town, but the island is now preserved so it won’t grow, and conservation work is focused on restoring and sustaining the natural habitat. A well-kept dirt road leads you to the 3,229-square-foot home that sits on a 600-square-meter lot right on a black sand beach. Volcanic rock steps lead up to the front porch, and sliding glass doors lead into the open concept main living spaces of living room, dining room, and kitchen area. Huge windows on three sides of this space provides plenty of natural light, and the open design ensures incredible ocean views throughout. The design emphasizes sophisticated natural looks such as jute, wicker weave rattan, and live edge wood details on the stairway construction. In addition to these lovely main living areas, you find a guest bathroom, and a laundry room with washer and dryer, as well as, the fifth and sixth bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. Upstairs the first and second bedrooms each feature sliding glass doors that access the spacious upper level balcony with unparalleled ocean views, a hammock for a midday siesta, and a set of outdoor sofas that invite you to sit and enjoy the evening’s spectacular sunset. The third and fourth bedrooms are also found on this level, and every bedroom in this splendid home boasts air conditioning and a private, en suite bathroom. The home’s water system is a desalination filtering system that turns salt water into fresh water, and utilizes public electricity. Internet and television is available through Starlink. In addition to having an incredible home in a pristine island setting, this property in one of the world’s most sought-after destinations would also make a fine investment for an Airbnb or VRBO listing, or a Bed and Breakfast. It is difficult to express how different living on this small island in the world famous Galápagos Archipelago is from any other place on earth. Living in harmony with nature, with opportunities for viewing sea turtles, sea lions, and a great variety of fishes, can bring serenity and tranquility to your soul. If you enjoy snorkeling, you will want to visit Devil’s Crown, a volcanic crater that has been eroded by the waves, with a few rocky spokes protruding in a semicircular pattern, like a crown. Inside the crown, you find an underwater oasis of coral reefs and all the marine life such reefs attract. At Cormorant Point you will find Visitor’s Sites such as a green sand beach, made green by olivine crystals. There is also Flour Beach, which consists of fine, pulverized coral.
