About this house rental
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.

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!!

Our family of 4 had an amazing stay here, the cottage was extremely clean, super stylish, quiet and comfy. The pool was our kids favorite- we stayed in the pool in the evenings, and sometimes used a smaller individual pool that's at the house and you can fill with the hose in the yard. The ac in the bedrooms was great and powerful enough to cool the whole cottage when we wanted to.The kitchen was a huge plus for us, and it was very clean and even the dishes were nice-everything we needed was there- even a blender to make smoothies. The sofa is super long with lots of pillows and there was plenty of space for us to lounge and watch movies on the dvd player in the evenings- you can buy movies in town for $2 in English. We picked passion fruit that had fallen from the vine each morning to make fresh juice, and walked to the bakery in the mornings to buy fresh bread. ( there are some chickens and a rooster that come to forage for bugs in the yard in the morning.. My kids loved that) . Urbano helped us when we had to re-light the gas for hot water, and it was nice to have someone on the property and made us very comfortable. We will definitely be back, for this cottage in particular. Not crowded at the beach, town, or in this little group of cottages.

Spent 5 nights at the house with 2 kids. The house is in a gated community and a 10 minute walk to the beach and central Olon. It was a great, relaxing, getaway for my family. Everything was a short walking distance, Montanitas a 5 minute cab ride, and the beach in Olon is far superior than the one in Montanitas - more family orientated and far more restaurants to chose from. Beds were great, house very clean, outside hangout adequate, very quiet and secure, pool area nice. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a nice, affordable place to hang out on the beach without the cacophony of Montanitas.

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.
