Montañita, Manglaralto, Santa Elena, Santa Elena, Ecuador
Sometimes life seems a little dull and drab and in serious need of a shot of fun and exhilaration. We have just the place for you to create a life in glorious Technicolor worthy of the big screen each and every day! Montañita is a vibrant beach community with a bohemian vibe of a world renowned surfing destination. It is just a short walk to town, and the beach, from this rental house, and once there, it may make you feel as if you will find the Big Kahuna or Moondoggie behind the next surfboard! The buoyant atmosphere will bring a smile to your face, filled with unique shops and a wide array of restaurants. Situated on the hillside overlooking Montañita, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the town and the Pacific Ocean from this 969 square foot house sitting on a large 7,535 square foot lot. The natural setting, with lush vegetation and colorful flowers, is framed perfectly by the rustic bamboo porch. Enter the house and you will immediately be struck by the sense of space afforded by the open-concept main living area, which is heightened by the stunning vaulted ceilings. Windows flood the bright living area with an abundance of natural light for a dazzling first impression! The living area has built-in sofas with colorful cushions and pillows. There is a half-wall topped with a large slab of wood that doubles as a countertop but still allows visual continuity between the living area and kitchen/dining area. The kitchen boasts a long bank of windows, so you will enjoy the spectacular views whether you are preparing a meal, or sitting down at the dining table. Speaking of the dining table, it is a one-of-a-kind design of a thick, asymmetrical circular wooden slab with natural-look carved base…a real conversation piece! There are two spacious bedrooms on this lower level, each with a split air conditioner and custom built-in closet/shelving space. The bathroom is on this level, as well. The staircase at one side of the kitchen area leads to the sizeable loft-style bedroom on the upper level. This is a unique space that can be inspiration for so many uses. It can be a bedroom, artist’s loft, music room, meditation space, or whatever your ingenuity can imagine. This is the perfect place to let your creative soul free! Now is the time to re-write your script, and know that you are the writer, director, and executive producer of your Technicolor life! Make sure you include plenty of excitement and adventure in your story, and be ready for spectacular sunsets to steal the scene! When it comes to this Montañita rental, the coming attraction is…YOU!
