Salinas, Salinas, Santa Elena, Ecuador
You’ve never imagined it in your mind, and your dreams; you’ve lived like this a thousand times. If you could just see past this door, you’d know this is what you’re looking for! Along the malecon of Salinas, on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, is one of the nicest condominium buildings in the area. You will fall in love with this 947 square-foot ground-floor rental unit in the Perla Del Mar building, just steps from Salinas Bay and the beach. With a unique layout and design, this unit enjoys front-facing windows with ocean views plus a private terrace in the back that overlooks the lush pool area. The main living area has a spacious and open design while still maintaining separation of functions for each area. The living room is both casual and sophisticated, featuring a brick accent wall and comfortable rattan furniture in a rich, deep wood tone. Nearby is the dining area, with a glass-topped table for six set next to the windows providing constantly-changing ocean and Malecon views. The kitchen is set back a bit, yet still open to the dining area. A massive kitchen peninsula creates a breakfast bar and plenty of counter space and has upper cabinets hanging above for extra storage without obstructing the ocean view. The back counter has the sink and a built-in stove top range with stainless steel range hood. The cozy family room area off the kitchen completes the main living area and is furnished with a comfy over-stuffed sofa. The bedrooms and bathrooms are reached from the hallway off the family room. The master bedroom is toward the back of the unit and features a master bathroom and a private terrace that overlooks the beautiful pool area of the Perla Del Mar. There is a roomy second bedroom and a second full bathroom convenient to all the living areas. The pool area is perfect for a quick dip in a lush setting but knowing that the big, blue Pacific Ocean is steps from your front door is the stuff of your dreams. You long to feel the sunshine kiss your hair, and feel the breeze that brings you the ocean air. You want to walk along the ocean’s shore…Hello? Is this the sea you’re looking for?
