Monteverde, Santa Elena, Santa Elena, Ecuador
Living a simple life does not mean living a dull or unfulfilling life. It means appreciating the pleasures of a walk on the beach, or feeling your toes in the sand, and finding tranquility and peace. If you are ready to step away from the hustle and bustle and simplify your life, have we got an opportunity for you! Nestled in one of the small villages that hug the Pacific coast along Ecuador’s Ruta Del Spondylus, is this charming cottage, situated among trees, and flowering shrubs, within walking distance to Monteverde beach. Here, you will live with the locals, whose motto for life is “tranquilo.” The ground floor of this two-story cottage, constructed with local natural stone and brick, is available for rent for just $280 per month, long term.
The walls of natural stone bring texture and warmth to the main living area of this ground level unit. Built-in banquette seating with seat cushions creates a cozy conversation area in the living room area, and is open to the kitchen. The kitchen boasts a massive wood slab peninsula that complements the stone work perfectly…reminiscent of a rustic lodge. There are design details to delight the eye, such as the round window placed in the stone wall above the kitchen counter. Beyond the living room area is a very spacious covered porch leading to a sandy, fenced-in yard. There is one very spacious bedroom with Saltillo style tile flooring. Just off this bedroom is the bathroom with white walls, trimmed in blue mosaic tiles that frame the bathroom mirror. At one end is a shower, and at the other a dressing/closet area. If you are looking for an affordable rental that will provide a relaxed, coastal lifestyle, you owe it to yourself to check out this property!
