Properties in Montanita & Olón
Beach Life
Just 2km from Ecuador’s central coastline along Ruta Spondylus are the two beach towns Olón and Montanita. Olón keeps growing as the most exclusive retirement beaches on Ecuador’s coastline; meanwhile Montanita is the top beach party destination in Latin America for surfers and young professionals on the weekends. Filled with crowded shops and restaurants Motanita is popular for its small streets and the waves of the beach. Ólon is more private, with clean beaches and warm waters.
Vacation Hotspot
The professionals from Quito and Guayaquil have long enjoyed vacations in Olón and Oloñito, but now the expats have discovered as well. It is smaller than cities like Bahia and Salinas and without the modern conveniences, but there is no price on the beauty and tranquility, the beaches of Olón are unmatched.

We all know that the beach can provide a sense of escape from daily routines and responsibilities, but did you know that there are scientific reasons why being near the beach helps relieve stress and anxiety? Not only is the smell of the ocean air soothing and calming, the ocean’s sights and sounds stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and reducing stress. But, as the old saying goes, “Wait! There’s more!” The ocean releases negative ions into the air, which can counteract the positive ions emitted by electronic devices and other sources. These negative ions can increase oxygen flow to the brain, boosting alertness, reducing drowsiness, and promoting relaxation. Wow! It is almost as if a doctor should prescribe this fantastic property for you. Located in the best residential area of Punta Blanca, on Ecuador’s Ruta del Sol – “Route of the Sun” – this property is ideal, with space for family and friends. Situated on a 594-square-meter lot, there is an expansive courtyard within the perimeter wall and secure front gate. There are two structures within, one being the three-bedroom, 3-bathroom main house, and the casita consisting of a studio suite with ensuite bathroom, a separate sun room, and a three-car carport. The 1,259-square-foot main house features an expansive covered front porch area, with room for outdoor seating and dining, as well as, a hammock. You enter the air conditioned main house from this inviting space. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces are open to one another, enjoying high, vaulted ceilings with wood beams. The area is kept bright from the natural light streaming through the large picture windows in the kitchen. Lower cabinets provide plenty of storage and counter space, and the peninsula counter has a wood table-height breakfast bar. The master bedroom suite is roomy, with a king-size bed, a chest of drawers, and comfy chair, as well as, sliding glass doors that access the covered front porch. The ensuite master bathroom offers a vanity, toilet, bidet, and full-sized shower. The second bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, and the third bedroom features two twin beds. Each of these bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom. The 377-square-foot casita structure has a private suite with a king-size bed, a twin bed, a compact kitchenette, and an ensuite bathroom with vanity, toilet, and shower. This is perfect for visiting friends, or family that want to join you, but would appreciate a bit of privacy or independence, such as in-laws or teens. This studio suite is adjacent to the separate air conditioned sun room, with kitchenette, that boasts two walls of windows and sliding glass doors. This is an attractive and comfortable space to enjoy the activities that are sure to take place in the surrounding courtyard while staying out of the South American sun. Next to the suite is the three-car carport, but the courtyard is so large there is actually room to park 10-23 cars. Speaking of the activities available throughout the courtyard, there is a fun above-ground pool between the main house and the casita that will be enjoyed by children and adults alike! There is also an outdoor canopy creating shade for some outdoor chairs. Nearby is a large covered bamboo gazebo that provides protection for BBQ grills, a bar area with seating for four, and a large dining table with seating for eight. You also have a convenient bathroom with simple shower accessed from the courtyard area. Finally, at one end of the property you will find a set of concrete stairs that lead down to a path to the beach. You are that close to being able to dig your toes into the sand or take a dip in the ocean! This is truly a beach retreat with something to feed each person’s soul.

Just imagine waking up every day to the sweet songs of birds and the gentle roar of the ocean waves. All day long from sunrise to sunset, you can enjoy the endless ocean and mountain views that surround this house. Located on the top of a hill in the quaint town of San Jose and overlooking the Pacific Coast, we call this home “Sonido del Sol” which translates to “Sound of the Sun.” This home is truly one of a kind, a tri-level house close to 500 square meters in size with a huge infinity swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Sonido del Sol was originally built in 2013 and has been in expansion ever since. The current owners purchased this home in 2022 and have been remodeling since then, making this home truly spectacular and giving every corner and wall in this home aesthically pleasing touches! This house is catalogue perfect!! Wonderful décor all throughout, top of the line finishing’s in the bathrooms and kitchen, brand new paint job all throughout, custom made teak wooden furniture… all of which are staying for one lucky buyer!! The house is being sold AS-IS! On each level of the home there is a large bedroom with A.C. unit, dressers, built in closets and private bathrooms providing privacy for all who stay in this home. The main floor has a washer/dryer room (brand new washing machine included!), one bedroom, full bathroom, large open style kitchen with island and living area/dining area. The common area/dining area is surrounded by large sliding windows which truly makes you feel that you are floating on top of the ocean. The appliances in the kitchen are brand new as is the bathroom which has recently been renovated. From the main floor bedroom, you can walk outside onto the covered pergola/deck which is surrounded by gorgeous plants. On the bottom level you have a “bedroom suite” which comes with a small living area and TV, perfect for a guest to stay in. This bedroom suite has an independent entrance as well, stairs leading down from the main house AND the pool area. Meaning your guest can walk up to the pool area without going through the main house if they wish. This downstairs suite has a small private deck with an ocean view as well as an additional outside sitting area to the side. The downstairs suite also has a chimney and its own private bathroom. On the second floor of this home you have an additional bedroom with an amazing ocean view, recently renovated bathroom, a small corridor which has been transformed into a home office and access to an additional balcony/outdoors sitting area as well as access to stairs leading up to the third floor terrace. The third floor terrace has breathtaking 360 degree views of both the ocean and mountains. You can see as far as Salinas and La Rinconada on this coastline. The third floor terrace was remodeled after 2022 and has a bar, closet with a fridge, stove and other great items for hosting (as well as all kitchenware), amazing deck furniture, swinging hammocks, outdoor lights as well as a full bathroom so you can host without having your guests go downstairs to use the bathroom. This area truly is the pinnacle of the property. You may never see a view quite like this one in the area. There are several additional perks to this property that are worth noting: brand new water heater, brand new transformer, parking area with security door, security cameras throughout the entire property, 5 brand new teak wooden doors, all kitchen cupboards recently resurfaced and restained, new kitchen backsplash, brand new kitchen sink, brand new living room/dining room floors and much more!! This property can be your forever home or can be turned into an outstanding Airbnb rental property. In fact, the home used to be a 5-star Airbnb listing just 4 years ago with a long clientele whom to this day still call the property manager to see if the house can be rented out during high season, weekends and holidays! Not only an amazing retirement home but also an excellent investment opportunity for one who may want to spend some time in Ecuador and sometime outside of Ecuador, back home. Don’t let this amazing opportunity pass!
