About the host
Hosted by Alyson and Gustavo Blum
Hi, We are the Blum family! My husband Gustavo is from Ecuador and Costa Rica, and I am from San Diego. We met in California and then spent two years living in Costa Rica and Ecuador. We loved our time at the beach in the Olon area most of all, and decided that we really wanted a place to call our own and to return to with our young kids when we visit family in Gauyaquil. we have many friends in the complex, we love our neighbors, and the many kind families living in Olon. Above all, we adore the beach and the food.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a spot where we could easily walk to the beach, but that was still surrounded by nature and open space. we purchased two lots so we could have a yard that was our own for spending lots of time outdoors. We have also enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with having a caretakers family always onsite, and we appreciate the shared community atmosphere of our international neighbors. Some of the cabanas are owned by folks from Chile, Canada, Ecuador, Switzerland, and the United States.
What makes this property unique
We were able to design the home as we built it from scratch, so we chose higher ceilings and more open spaces than is traditional in Ecuador. The windows are absurdly large for Ecuador, but since I am from California I love the sunlight. The onsite pool is really divine after a nice adventure or a long day at the beach. We usually stay in the pool until the sun goes down.
