Vacation rentals near Machalilla National Park

Property was great top floor well kept great views of the ocean very short walk to the beach. We could watch the beach out front or watch iguanas in the trees outback

This lovely home and area was a great break for my family over Christmas. We enjoyed staying here and felt safe and taken care of for our complete stay. The views were spectacular and the sound of the ocean in the background was beautiful. We would for sure come back here again. You can’t get a better location as it is quieter but within a short driving distance of Olon and Ayampe. The beaches are long and clean and the water was so warm and inviting. We walked down to the beach daily that was only a 5 min walk. The housekeeping service that came with the house was very much appreciated. That left us more time to rest and enjoy the area. Overall a great experience.

Thanks Jorge , House met all my expectations and location was the best , thanks again for sharing your wealth of local knowledge, restaurants and surf spots

Great stay. Highly recommended for a chill experience in a quiet town. A short $5 taxi trip south to Olon for good restaurants and lively times. Also worth a trip north to Ayampe surf town for cool vibes! 😎

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 didn’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 didn’t see it (we didn’t look though). There’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 Montañita (ate out, swam and more groceries) and Olon, very close-by and an easy drive. Great place, we would stay again
