Punta Blanca, Santa Elena, Santa Elena, Ecuador
About a half hour's drive north of Salinas, Ecuador, the beach-centered community of Punta Blanca consists of family homes and luxurious and well-planned condominium complexes. You will appreciate the quiet and relaxed lifestyle, where each day is filled with walks on the beach, soaking up the sun, and watching the sun set each evening. Then, the next day, you get to do it all over again! It's likely you won't find a better place to enjoy the best of living at the beach than the gated community of Punta 7, located right on the beach. This is your opportunity to rent a 1,593 square foot top-floor condo with views out over the sparkling pool, the palm trees along the white sandy beach, and to the Pacific ocean beyond. The main living area of this unit is designed to make that gorgeous view the focal point. The living and dining areas are located at the front of the unit, and sliding doors open to a large, covered balcony, that provides a seamless connection to the beach, and nearly doubles the space for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the surf. Furnished in tones borrowed from the sand, sea stones, driftwood, and the sea, relax on the sectional sofa while listening to the sea birds or watching television. Enjoy a meal at the table for eight, accented with a stone tile wall. The kitchen features a marble-topped peninsula with a direct line of sight to the living room and ocean views. The rest of the countertops and the backsplash are made of granite, reminiscent of the tiny pebbles beneath the surf, next to the plentiful sand-colored upper and lower kitchen cabinets. You will find everything you need in this kitchen, to let your inner gourmet chef loose!
There are three bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with a large picture window giving you a view of the palm trees and sea, while flooding the entire room with natural light. The master bedroom boasts an en-suite master bathroom with an oversized vanity and a tiled shower with glass door. The second bedroom is furnished with a queen-sized bed, and the third bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed and a twin bed. Both of these bedrooms have a large window, keeping them light and bright, and there is a full bathroom with a large shower, convenient to both of them. There is also a powder room convenient to all living areas, featuring a curved vanity topped with granite. The flooring throughout is tile with the look of sun-bleached driftwood, and there are air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and main living areas. There is a laundry area with stacked washer and dryer just off the kitchen, so no need to find a local laundry service...just toss in your beach towels at the end of the day! There is also a service quarters with built-in bunk beds, just beyond the laundry area, with its own bathroom. Punta 7 features attractive amenities for seaside living, including a sparkling pool, BBQ area and outdoor dining area, a playground for the kiddies, convenient bathrooms, and lovely gardens with pathways to savor the lush foliage and flowers on your way to the wide, sandy beach, where you will find beach canopies set up for your enjoyment. The private gate entry provides security for peace of mind. This unit also includes a designated parking space. Each day will be as perfect as the day before, so don't wait!
