Monthly Rentals in La Rinconada

I absolutely loved staying here! I was here for three weeks and it was perfect. Andrea was an incredibly accommodating host. She helped me navigate the bus and arranged a taxi. Throughout my stay she checked in to make sure I had everything I needed and was always available to quickly answer my questions. The house was cleaned every week. The location was perfect, a little outside of the center of town which made it feel more quiet, peaceful and private, yet still it was only a short walk to get to shops, restaurants, and the beach. I had absolutely everything I needed to feel at home. Thanks to the AC and incredibly comfortable bed I slept amazing every night. The hot shower and water cooler were wonderful luxuries. I was working remote and the internet was fast and reliable. One day, the power was out for the whole town but Andrea warned me ahead of time and let me know there was a battery for the router. I could have stayed forever and will definitely be returning.

A cabin in the middle of paradise , nature , peace and love is what describes that place.

Recs: 1) Guided 4 hour kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding with Miguel - expert on scheduling the best time for the water, weather, and location. We went to Isla El Sucre from Machalilla which he drove us to and saw blue footed booobies (unique seabirds!) 2) Pt. Lopez for groceries at Tia and ATM cash withdrawals (Banco Pichincha.) Taxis are cheaper when you flag them down and share the ride with other locals/strangers. 3) Manta for malls or other special shopping, only $5 each way by bus. Max 20 minutes wait at the bus stop. As a solo female traveler I always felt safe, just be smart and aware as usual. 4) Pt. Rico street food - around 6pm cheese empanadas, chicken chifles, and beef walking tacos are sold on front porches near the bodega in town. 5) Montanita Lost Beach dance club. 6) Ayampe restaurants (corviche, Italian, and farm-to-table.) 7) Fernando for delivering fresh organic produce, eggs, hot meals, chicken empanadas, and peanut butter ceviche (Ecuador staple, must try!)

I had a wonderful stay here. Great central location close to the beach. It’s very clean, spacious, with plenty of natural light. Great value, excellent host. I’ve been to Ayampe many times and this is the best place I’ve stayed. Excellent value especially especially for a week or more. Well equipped kitchen. Great showers and bathrooms. Wonderful positive host that’s accommodating and very hospitable. 5 starts through and through! I’ll certainly be back in the near future as I’m often in Ayampe. Great two bedrooms also. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for everything!
