Perfection
If I could I would give this property 6 stars. It was perfection. Clean , well appointed, tasteful with all the comforts of home. The balcony provided a view of the ocean and beach as well as the ocean and fabulous sunsets from the other side— it’s on the point. The host James and his partner were kind, helpful and a pleasure to know. My month long stay was perfect in every way.

Best place you will ever stay
This was by far and away the best vrbo that I've ever seen. The place itself was perfect and the hospitality from the hosts was extraordinary. Everything a person could think of is covered completely,from arranging my ride from Guayaquil Airport to a list of restaurants and activities and the expected prices for goods and services. Absolutely the perfect soft landing for a first time traveler in Ecuador.

Vacation
We had a great experience with this rental property! It had a great view of the ocean and was perfect for two people. The beach was just across the street and there were lots of restaurants and shops. James and Cecilia were excellent hosts and made everything easy. The property was well stocked with towels, hangers, kitchen items, etc. We would definitely rent this property again!

Splendid experience
Nice clean safe building in an ideal area to experience Salinas beachfront malecon. Hosts were friendly, accommodating yet gives you space. The booklet was very detailed, I really appreciated the city bus line info which is not readily available anywhere, as well as taxi rates and surrounding restaurants and groceries. Apartment is a true one bedroom and comes with everything you need.

About the host

Hosted by James Flannery

Host profile image
We 'retired' in August of 2012 and moved to Salinas Ecuador in October 2012 from Oakland California. We have lived here for over 6 years.

I am a retired architect and Cecilia a retired admin hospital assistant. We have several vacation rentals that we manage in Salinas, Ecuador and the Riviera Maya in Mexico which keeps us as busy as we would like.

Cecilia volunteers to the Salinas Red Cross and volunteers to teach English to local Ecuadorian vendors, police etc. in Salinas.


Why they chose this property

We purchased the complete floor of a penthouse condo which we completely gutted and remodeled in 2013. The rental suite is on one end of the penthouse floor.

The weather and swimming is great in Salinas and friends are easy to make. Shorts, t-shirts and flipflops are our attire most of the year. We think you will enjoy your stay here.
