Beautiful Montañita Heights is a collection of properties located on the verdant hillside overlooking the world-renown surfing mecca of Montañita on Ecuador’s Pacific Coast, and it is here that you will find this 1,615-square-foot gem available for rent.

The main living area is open and bright, filled with natural light from the large windows and sliding glass doors that lead from the living room space out to the covered patio area. Enjoy a cool ocean breeze from the table and chairs there, or relax on the sofa inside and check out what is on television. The kitchen is modern and efficient with built-in oven and countertop cooktop. There are upper and lower cabinets and sleek granite countertops that wrap around, creating a peninsula and breakfast bar.
