Costa de Oro - Salinas, Salinas, Santa Elena, Ecuador
What a fantastic opportunity to rent a 3,086-square-foot, two-story oceanfront penthouse, with a spacious balcony terrace offering spectacular views! The first level of this condo penthouse is all about luxurious entertaining. You enter a spacious main living area featuring tray ceilings, with comfortable and classic furnishings, and large sliding doors affording an abundance of natural light throughout the space. The living room is open to the dining area, which boasts a set of sliding glass doors that open the entire space to the incredible balcony terrace. This spacious terrace has views of the Pacific, as well as, a spectacular view of Salinas, at the westernmost tip of mainland Ecuador. You and your guests will love relaxing on the terrace, enjoying an evening sunset over cocktails. The dining area is also open to the kitchen, which is a fabulous space. With dark upper and lower cabinets, and marble countertops and blacksplash in a warm hue, this U-shaped kitchen is spacious and modern. There is a kitchen peninsula separating the kitchen and dining spaces without blocking the visual line of sight from the prep area all the way to the terrace. This peninsula also creates a breakfast bar furnished with a couple of bar stools, perfect for sharing a drink with friends, or a casual meal for just you and your partner. There is a kitchen utility room just off the kitchen, where the stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator is kept out of sight but still handy. There are also storage areas in this room, as well as, a washer and dryer. This first level also has a stylish guest powder room. The well-lit staircase accesses the upper level, which is designed as a more private family area. At the top of the stairs, there is a roomy family room with a large window, and seating area for watching television or just relaxing. The three bedrooms, and three full bathrooms, are found on this level. The master bedroom is a true master suite retreat, with bedroom large enough for a seating area near the corner window which offers 180-degree ocean views. There is also a door off the master bedroom to the public hallway and elevator access. If you ever want to come home after a day of fun at the beach and head straight for the second level, you can do that in this penthouse. The master bathroom is luxurious, completely tiled, with a double vanity with granite countertop and plenty of storage, and a glass-enclosed shower with rain shower head. In addition to all that, you have your own, private jacuzzi soaking tub. Every evening in your master suite is like a visit to an upscale spa. Add to that a custom walk-in closet, and your master suite is the ultimate in luxury! There are two more good-sized bedrooms and two more stylishly-appointed full bathrooms on this upper level. The amenities at the Spondylus condominium are superb. There is a spacious cluhouse/social area, with comfortable seating, as well as, tables and chairs, and a kitchen with bar open to the social area. Windows and glass doors in the social area lead out to the pool and BBQ area. What a fantastic area, providing opportunities to enjoy the best of the coastal life you desire. In addition to poolside lounging areas and gazebos for those times you want a little shade, there is a covered gate to the beach below. Take a stroll on the beach and collect a few seashells. There is also an exercise room available, with excellent equipment, for your use. This is an amazing value you won't want to miss!
