Andrea's house (oceanfront)
I RECOMMEND ANDREA'S AIRBNB. Go with family or friends, you will have an incredible time, private and safe. You can have a very pleasant time. Spacious rooms, clean. Comfortable house. Large. Everything had its space, well thought out the distribution. Having the sea at the foot of the house IS PRICELESS, the sea water is warm now in this season, really 10/10.

Sunset Gardens Boat House/Beach
A great place, good for a quiet family vacation.

A beautiful house with an ocean view
We booked there only for one night but it deserves for staying for more days taking advantage of the accommodation and the activities you could plan inside the area… recommended…

Excellent place, the host is a very good person, she always helped me with everything, above all very honest people, since I left my cell phone and they had it sent to my house by courier, excellent service, I would definitely come back

BiA Montañita Ecuador Beach House. Oceanfront
Highly recommended everything. Mary's service is excellent, concerned to make your stay the best you've ever had. The place and the perfect house if you are looking for comfort and being a little away from the noise of downtown Montaña. She recommends a lady who works with her in case you need someone to cook for you and not have to leave the house. Mrs. Maria was great and cooked delicious food.

San Jose de Santa Elena - entire house.
All good. highly recommend. I'll be back:)

Modern house with ocean view San Jose, Spondylus Route
My stay at this Airbnb was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the host was extremely welcoming and thoughtful, giving us all the information we needed to make us feel at home. Communication was seamless and gave us great local recommendations, which made our experience even more special. The place itself exceeded our expectations: clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. The location is perfect. It's definitely noticeable that the host takes great care in making guests feel comfortable and welcome. I recommend this Airbnb without any hesitation. Definitely an experience I would repeat again and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Awesome Big Oceanfront Property in Montañita
Luis was so helpful and we loved the house and town. It was great to walk to town and the surf point. Our family lived outside lounging in the hammocks, shooting pool, playing in the pool, and using the outdoor kitchen. Also, Gloria and Ramon were kind and helpful.
