About this property

Cozy Ocean View Cottage, in The Olon-Montanita area. Perfect for couples

Cute Ocean view Cottage that we call "La Casita". (The small house)Located 6 Km North of Montanita, within a family owned property. Our guests will appreciate the inviting intimacy of our small cottage.
It has one bedroom with A/C, a Queen size bed and full Ocean view, the living room has a twin size Day Bed, DirectTV and DVD player. La Casita has a very nice bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen with a cozy dinning area for four and also WiFi all around the property, and you will also have access to W/D.
It has a beautiful terrace to relax on the hammock and enjoy the view of the Pacific and its sunsets.
Close access to the best beach in Ecuador which is only a 15 minute walk down the hill and through the village. La Casita is within a family owned property, it is very safe and private and there will always be somebody to help you with anything you might need.

Great stay
The casa is exactly as shown, everything was functional and we felt at home. There are a few other houses that share the driveway and to get out of the property you need to rely on the property manager or his family to open the gate (they live right beside it). The only suggestion we have is to improve this process because we felt bothersome whenever we wanted in and out. The beach access is across the road down a little path. We didnā€™t swim at the beach but it was secluded and lovely. No issues with safety either on the beach or at the property. The hammocks were great and we slept on the deck one night because the ocean sounds were too hypnotic to leave and there were fireflies to watch. There is a great a/c system in the bedroom and apparently access to washing machine but we didnā€™t see it (we didnā€™t look though). Thereā€™s also an awesome outdoor shower to rinse off the beach sand! Lots of millipedes in the casa but this is to be expected given our surroundings. We came from Manta and picked up groceries in Purto Lopez market. Curia is very tiny so we took day trips to MontaƱita (ate out, swam and more groceries) and Olon, very close-by and an easy drive. Great place, we would stay again

Not what I expected
I booked this property solely based on being able to have private and EASY access to the beach. I was also told that everything was within walking distance again not true. The owner himself gave me this information. Once I got there I found that not only did I have to walk about 3 New York City blocks to the beach but I also needed to take cabs everywhere because nothing was close by. NOTHING. There was an EMPTY house that had a pool but that was off limits to all accept the renters of that houseā€¦it stood EMPTY the entire time that I was there and I was denied access to it. I booked for ten days I was there for 4 /5 days and moved to a different and much better area for way cheaper and ON THE BEACH with access to the pool as well. The location of this property is beautiful but itā€™s definitely not a ā€œvacationā€ spot kind of place. At least not for active people. Perfect spot for honeymooners or older couples that just want to sit in a hammock all day. Perhaps being more accommodating to your actual guests who complain about being lied to would be helpful in the future. I wonā€™t be returning here.

Me and my wife lived in the property for 12 years, we relocated to the USA in 2002 and now we live in Hawaii. We are both Marine Biologists. We love Curia and we will eventually go retire there. We know how peaceful and beautiful it is and we know our guests will enjoy our Casita a lot.

Why they chose this property

La Casita is in a private family owned property, it is very private, quiet and safe, the beach is 5 minutes walking down the hill. Montanita and Olon are 10 minutes away by car. La Casita is perfect for couples or small families looking for a safe, quiet and private place to spend some time.
