Lovely beachfront accommodations

The moonlight suite was as advertised. Beautifully located a bit south of Manglarito, which is 5 min drive from Montanita. The view is great and the caretaker, Michael, was unobtrusive even though he lives behind the house. We had no others staying in the other units so the pool was our alone. While taxis are around, there is great utility in having your own car. The 3 bedrooms were well air conditioned. The master suite is by far the nicest room with sweeping ocean views from the upstairs patio. The other bedrooms were fine but offer no views and are substantially smaller. Overall the moonlight suite was terrific.

Secluded beachfront paradise

This property is exquisitely located about 20 yards back from the Ayampe beach — this is hard to tell from the photos because there are mangrove plants separating the gated property from the beach. The mangrove plants are trimmed to provide amazing views of the Isla de los Ahorcados, while at the same time making the property almost invisible to passers-by from the beach. There is a good view of the main surf breaks where you can check conditions from the comfort of the king-sized bed before venturing out for an early morning session. Despite the extremely poor weather during our stay — cloudy/rainy/gloomy month of May and spring tides (aguaje) making beach conditions difficult — this comfortable duplex condo made the stay much more bearable and entirely worthwhile. We were pleased to find out on the day we arrived that the king bed had a pull-out bed tucked underneath, which was perfect for our child to sleep on. There was also a grill outside on the patio, though we didn't end up using it. In addition to a very luxurious bedroom layout inside and large master bathroom, there is also a smaller half-bath downstairs, an outdoor spigot to wash off sand on your feet, as well as a complete outdoor shower with hot water (when coming in from the beach on those chilly days in May through August!) There was a very large television in the bedroom. The satellite TV (DirectTV) seemed to have been expired, but we didn't need this anyway and ended up using the Roku with YouTube and working Netflix account. Maria the host was very friendly and responsive via WhatsApp and gave us all the info we needed. For these reasons, we felt that the price per night was reasonable, compared to many of the more rustic bungalows and hotel offerings nearby. The only potential issue we saw was that parking is a little tight when all the units on the property are occupied. Getting in is easy, but to get out, there isn't enough space to turn our Gran Vitara around, so we had to back the vehicle out carefully snaking through the property. If you have an oversized vehicle like a Ford F150, you'll probably need to arrange alternate parking with Maria. Ayampe is our long-time favorite holiday beach. And is highly recommended for its seclusion and small-town beach vibe. The prevailing swell direction from the south Pacific causes Ayampe to be heavily affected by spring tides. Search google for "calendario aguajes ecuador" and plan accordingly.

Literally incredible - best hospitality

Matteo was outrageously nice and helpful for our entire stay. Anything we needed and more he was ready to provide. The place was awesome and adorable. I loved swinging in the hammocks doing my work every morning. The place was cleaned every day if you wanted it to be and laundry too. If we ever need help of any kind or just needed some advice about what to do, Matteo was always there and friendly. We stayed an entire month and it wasn't long enough. :)

Our favorite place on the coast!!!

This is by far our favorite place to stay on the coast. We love everything about it. It’s immediate access to the beach, the perfectly manicured grounds, the unique and creative design of the apartments, and the care of the hosts. Simply perfect!

Ayampe dream

This is an amazingly relaxing house that is designed for couples or family. We loved the outdoor spaces, the fans to keep any bugs at bay, and the refreshing pool. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need to cook. The beach is a short walk away—it is heaven on earth! Highly recommend!
