5 min walking to Olon beach and town, gated home complex for 6 guest, pool & BBQ

This modern beach home is located just as you enter the quaint village of Olon, just a 3 minute ride by taxi to Montanita. Located within Cabanas de Olon, a private gated community 2 blocks from the beach, this serene location is a wonderful getaway close to it all. Just cross the road and head down the path two blocks to get to this amazing uncrowded palm lined surf beach.

The open concept cottage features two airy guest rooms, each with new split air conditioner to keep you sleeping comfortably after your day exploring the beach. Each bedroom is appointed with a queen size bed, bedside tables, and table lamps. A hallway features an extra closet for additional storage. The living area has high bamboo clad ceilings, skylight, sectional sofa, a media center with tv and dvd player, and great views out to the garden and front terrace. The open window filled kitchen features and all the tools to prepare your feast, including a prep and dining island, sink, refrigerator, stove, microwave, and of course a coffeemaker!

Outdoors, enjoy a dining patio on the from terrace with views as you eat towards the ocean sunsets. Alongside the cottage and overlooking your private yard, a full lounge patio with hammocks await you under a shaded canopy with views of bamboo, blossoms, fruit trees and palms. On the back side of the property you will find an outdoor cooking grill, an outdoor shower, hammocks surrounded by nature and the mangrove part of the blue crab reservoir and also ample space for parking. On the community grounds enjoy a private pool and community area, assistance of the guardian/groundskeeper, and lots of peace and quiet.


Just off the Ruta del Sol, stroll out in the mornings to the bakery for some fresh pastries, or simply cross the street for the grocer. Do note - this cottage is NOT in the center of Montanita, but just a couple (3) minutes by cab if desired. This makes it its the perfect spot to have privacy and your own beach to enjoy when you want to chill out, plus a little cute village of shops an eateries close - by - and the great bonus of being able to experience the variety of food, boutiques, bars and amenities Montanita has as well. Fresh vegetables and market goods are available at the localk market across the street and down a block. As well and can also be purchased directly from the back o farmers pick-ups as they roll through town in the mornings. Mid morning - find the daily catch on the beach - or grab what looks best as fisherman ride by on their bicycle - ready to filet as desired. Surfiing, lounging, dining, hiking, shopping, massage,swimming, horse-back riding.... its all here and waiting to be discovered.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, we can assist with booking your transportation to Olon as well.

Olon Home
We stayed here for almost 2 months. Love it. Clean, comfortable, everything we needed. Walking to beach, stores, restaurants. Olon is a great little beach town. Easy to get a taxi to go other places. We will be back to Olon sometime and hopefully stay in this house. Thank you!!

There's Better
I really can’t say anything good about this rental. The house has been neglected for years. Two large sofas are unusable being the frames are broken. All the cushion fabric is splitting and the foam is what you have left. The windows will not lock. Glassware is really minimal, no hammocks, no water dispenser, AC non functional due to missing batteries, broken lamps, missing bulbs, broken blender container (with tape on it). I could go on. Along with the years of neglect, there has been no needed improvements. It is really not that comfortable to hang out during the day. You use it to sleep, not to party, not to relax, not to socialize. Sitting arrangements are at a minimum. Oh, and they will tell you they will get things handled immediately – which never happens. Then they go into excuse mode. You can do better in Olon.

Good location, but needs some attention!
We very much enjoyed our visit to Olon. Lovely little community. We got to know several of the restaurant owners and bakers. The beach is clean and not very busy while we were there. However, our accommodation left something to be desired. This unit needs some major cleaning, and lots of TLC. The screen doors don't work. The blinds in the kitchen don't roll up. Several of the windows either didn't open or the screen didn't fit. Yes, you have a coffee pot - but no toaster, no cork screw and no jug - in Ecuador, where milk is sold in plastic bags! There is no stand for the large blue water jugs, and the blender leaks and is unusable. The kitchen is very basic. The burners on the stove don't always work, and we had to unplug it when not using it, as the ignitor kept clicking, which was a little unnerving. 2 out of 4 pieces of patio furniture were broken. Light bulbs missing, the lamps were pretty scary to use, and fortunately we only used one bedroom cause the batteries for the air conditioner remote in the other room were dead. We were there in the rainy season, but good for us that they haven't been getting much rain because the roof leaks in both the bedroom and the living room. Urbano, the caretaker, is very friendly and as helpful as he can be without speaking any English. We found a local restaurant owner who would call Urbano and explain what was needed when we couldn't figure things out without language. And don't blame the caretaker for the state of the unit - this place needs the owner's care and attention. This was our last stop in Ecuador, and maybe because the rest of our accommodations were great, we expected things to at least be in working order and clean. Water is an issue in many of the communities along the coast. Olon responds to the lack of water by turning the water off from 1-6pm and 1-6am. Manage this by saving water in pails to use for washing and toilets.
