This is a beautiful, recently-built (2011) 3-story, 4 Bedroom, 4 Bath house in a private, gated community. It is only a few steps to the gorgeous, wide Pacific beach that runs 10 miles (20 km) from Montanita in the south to San Jose in the north. Enjoy a fun-filled, relaxing Ecuadorian vacation right on a beautiful beach among friendly, peaceful people, with plenty of amenities--and all this at bargain rates!
Olon is a peaceful little town 3 km (1.5 miles) North of Montanita, 183 km (113 miles) from Guayaquil. It is a 2 ½-3 hour drive by car/private transport or 3 ½ hours on the comfortable, air-conditioned express bus ride from Guayaquil international airport. The express bus terminal is 1/2 mile from Guayaquil Int’l airport (Taxi from Airport to Bus Terminal costs approximately $4.00). Olón is a quiet fishing village surrounded by a lengthy beautiful beach. A superb Sanctuary built on top of a cliff overlooks the sea and surrounding areas. Along the beach of Olón are a number of outdoor cabanita-style “restaurants” that offer heaping plates of daily fresh seafood prepared to your request (along with generous amounts of rice and fried plantains) and large beer for less than $5.00. Or if you desire, wait for the night fishing boats to return with their haul of 9” prawns to grill on your own barbie.
You can always stay in and enjoy breakfast on the balcony, watch whales when they come through, and watch the sunset over dinner! Concierge service is provided by our care-taker who can arrange tours and various activities such as surfing lessons, kayaking, scuba diving, horseback riding, sport fishing, canopy tour and shopping trips.
There are two small convenient stores in Olon and two fresh produce huts offering a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh-caught fish is sold on the beach. Taxis are on call day and night, offering low rates. Olon also has an internet café 3 blocks from the house. In nearby Montanita there are two ATM's, a bank, numerous internet cafes and many excellent restaurants. We have a guide at the house with our top picks and recommendations for restaurants and bars!
Third story master suite bedroom opens onto a balcony with 2 hammocks. Queen-size bed. Private bathroom with shower. Second story has two bedrooms, both opening up to a balcony with 4 hammocks. Both have double beds and private bathroom with shower. Bottom floor has one bedroom with two double beds. Full bath downstairs with shower.
Second story has sitting area equipped with T.V. and DVD player.
Downstairs: Fully equipped kitchen. Large living room and additional sitting area with stereo system (CD/MP3 player docking station) and a variety of books and magazines to read.
Landscaped yard with built-in BBQ, tables/chairs and outside shower.
Enjoy a fun-filled, relaxing Ecuadorian vacation right on a beautiful Pacific beach among friendly, peaceful people, with plenty of amenities.
If you tire of the peace and quiet in Olón, head on over to Montañita for its world-renowned surf break (peaking in December through March), only a 2 minute taxi ride. Surfing lessons are available for those beginners who want to give it a go. This is a town that never sleeps, the party is always on, and the locals and visitors alike are friendly and laid-back. Get comfortable; sip a mojito at one of the many international cafés and people watch. A diverse crowd from all over the world visits this town; musicians play along the streets, jugglers show off, and nightly fire-dancers entertain the many enthusiastic on-lookers. Montanita also offers a number of comfortable high-speed internet locations for those wanting to stay connected.

We have visited Ecuador for several years now. Bobbys house is large and very nicely furnished. Bobby was always available for anything we needed. The view from the 3 story is great for ecuador sunsets. The house will accomadate a large family with private baths and balconies. The kitchen is very nice and great for cooking meals. We used the outdoor barbecue often and is very nice. Jardines Olon is a nice little community safe and friendly. The house is equiped with ac for bedrooms and makes those warm nights very comfortable. We enjoyed our month there and wished we could of stayed longer. This house is well above standard ecuadorian rentals. The beach is only a few steps away from long walks and local cuisine. Highly recommended for groups and families. It is clean and well kept.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.
Owner response: We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay in our vacation house in Olon, Ecuador! We are always so pleased when travelers leave great reviews.........it makes us feel very good to know we have provided a comfortaable vacation home for others to enjoy! Thank you so much for taking time to do your review, it is greatly appreciated!

Our family had the pleasure of being the first "vacation renters" and we had a wonderful experience! Our group consisted of teenagers, young adults, and middle age (Mom & Dad). Our boys and daughter loved the place. It has all the amenities needed....lots of room, private bedrooms, a/c in each room.....not to mention the deck! The boys enjoyed the deck each evening by playing cards and just hanging out on the hammocks. The location is excellent....walking distance to the beach. The view is spectacular and Olon is just a wonderful spot in Ecuador. You can relax at home and if the mood strikes....go into Montanita for a livelier evening. The house is decorated perfectly for the beach and stocked with all the necesities needed. We grilled one evening and cooked breakfast daily. Having 2 refrigerators was great to stock up on drinks. Vicente, the local caretaker, is very helpful and will come over when called immediately. We had such a memorable time that we can't wait to return. I highly recommend staying at this spectacular home!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

Wow, wow!!! Those were the first words out of our mouths as we entered this beautiful home; home being the key word. It truly is a home, comfortable, welcoming and with all the amenites you could possibly ask for. From the brilliant furnishings to the plasitic plates and cups for the kids and everything in between our needs were met beyond our expectations. So pack light and get ready to enjoy one of the best vacations you'll ever have. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by Vicente, a very helpful and efficient man who will introduce you to the house, answer any questions you have and will help take care of you during your stay. He checked up on us regularly to see if we needed anything and even helped to arrange for a relaxing manicure and pedicure. He is a wonderful man and a great choice by Bobby to help take care of guests. Bobby, now there is a man you will truly enjoy meeting. You can't help but smile and feel energized when you're around him. His love of Olon and Ecuador is infectious. He truly wants to share the beauty and peacefulness of the area by providing you with a wonderful place to stay. I could continue discribing the beauty of the home and the surrounding area, but it truly is something you have to experience on your own. I promise it will leave you and your family with some of the best memories and longing to visit again. It did for us.Owner response: Thank you so much for all of your kind words about our house in Olon, Ecuador! We really did work hard at trying to furnish, decorate and stock the house hoping it would really feel like a "HOME"!! We love the tranquil city of Olon and that is why there was no other place we would have built this vacation home! We are extremely happy you enjoyed your stay and your vacation! We look forward to having you again!

Year Purchased: 2009
About: My family & I vacationed in Olon, Ecaudor 3 years ago & stayed in a house in the same gated community as my house is now! I fell in love with this area & purchased a piece of property here before leaving from our vacation. I then flew back & forth for the past year & a half building this dream home! I wanted a place where my kids and grandkids can come every year to relax & enjoy!
Why Montanita:
The property is in a great, private location with breathtaking views of the ocean. It is quiet & the people of Olon are amazing! It is also only a 2 minute ride into the busy, night-life, surfing town of Montanita.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Private, gated community. Only a few steps from your front door to the white, sandy beach! Our house has all of the ammenities anyone could want or need while vacationing....................especially air conditioning!
