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. youtube link: 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.

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 canāt 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 ā 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.
