Vacation rentals in Manglaralto, Santa Elena

I loved my stay at Ademar’s place. It’s a short walk to the beach and only about a 10 minute walk to town. I stayed for 4 weeks and I really didn’t want to leave. The hosts, Ademar and Ashley are great. Super friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend staying here. You won’t regret it. I hope to return in the future.

I only communicated with Karen by air BNB however her onsite property manager Abdel, was an absolute professional. He was there everyday for my 16 night stay and responded instantly whenever i reached out to him. Remember this is ecuador and when i lost power he started a generator within minutes to keep the lights and A/C working till it was restored an hour or so later. Absolutely no loss of comfort. If i needed something like fresh towels or linen change it was done within minutes by the staff. I never met Karen but I will say that the staff with Abdel as the leader couldn’t have been more professional or responsive. The restaurant within 50 meters off my cabana was just as friendly and attentive. If i needed a drink or a meal it was delivered to the cabana if I wished it. The location was astounding for the price. Close to everything but just far enough away that I was never disturbed but 5 minutes from all the action. I was one minute walk from my door to the surf. Perfect stay.

Our stay at this house in Olón was spectacular, exactly as described. The host Ernesto was very responsive, making the booking process smooth. The on-site help, Dalia and Marcelo, were amazing—attentive, kind, and always ready to assist. The beach is truly a paradise, perfect for relaxing, and the pool was always at a pleasant temperature. 100% worth it—would recommend without hesitation!

I stayed at Paulova's beach house and - OMG I loved it! The house is so close to the beach that you fall asleep to the sound of waves and you wake up to it as well. There is a lot of beautiful nature around the house, it's very green, but what I liked the most was the house itself and the proximity to the beach. You can hear and see the ocean at any times and you can watch the sunset from the balcony. There is also 2 or 3 local restaurants 1min from home, so it was easy to grab food. Very local and authentic experience, I would highly recommend. Thanks to the hosts also for being helpful and friendly.

If you’re looking for a spot directly in town with basic amenities and a king bed, Emiliano is a wonderful and communicative host. This is a townhome style with another small suite attached to the second level, but with separate and private entrances. We had no issues with our neighbor and actually enjoyed getting to know another traveler. The location, size, and flow of the space are great. We enjoyed the two decks and the first floor hammock. The upstairs bedroom is very spacious and enjoyable. It is not modern or updated, so if you’re looking for fancy this might disappoint. Lastly, when we faced a couple of issues with the water, Emiliano was quick to respond and had locals able to come onsite and help.

If I could, I would give it 20 stars. This place is really beautiful. I had the opportunity to go with my family and it is a very private and quiet environment, super clean and spacious. The people in charge were very kind and flexible, making the stay with my family very pleasant. I really recommend it. It is the ideal place for a getaway. The views that the place has are incredible. After the house, Ayangue beach is very nice because of its gentle waves. It is perfect for children and there are also cabins on the beach with cocktails that were super delicious. In addition, staying at this Airbnb we received discounts on our drinks and the birthday girl had free shots. La Fortunata has been a good experience in general

Super beautiful house, 🏠 good location, amazing view😊, very clean pool, comfortable rooms. Close to everything, I recommend visiting, you can rest very well ...

Best spot on the beach. The space is designed clean and simple. The kitchen had everything a chef needs. The host was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed and always responded so quickly. Loved this spot.

Beautiful place surrounded by nature and the sound of little animals. My whole family was delighted and my 2-year-old son fell in love with how calm his little dog friend Coco was 🐶
