Ahhh, summer! You can finally put your heavy coat and neck scarf in the back of your closet, and break out your shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops! No more shoveling snow or scraping ice off of your windshield. In fact, you can fill your thoughts with trips to the beach, or relaxing on your patio on a warm summer night. But summer always ends too soon – long before you are ready to pack away your boogie board and swimsuit. What would you say if you were told that you could live where summer never ends? Who wouldn’t say, “Sign me up”?
Let me introduce you to Salinas, on Ecuador’s Pacific Coast. The unique geography on the Santa Elena Peninsula where Salinas is located, creates a climate that is considered ideal. The normal temperature range, year round, averages 75°F to 85°F, with temperatures rarely dipping below 70°F or rising higher than 90°F! With relatively low annual rainfall, Salinas seems to be the home of the “Endless Summer”! Add to that beautiful beaches, a vibrant community offering restaurants, shops and services, an affordable cost of living, and a friendly, laid-back lifestyle, and you will feel like you have found Shangri-La!
This is your opportunity to purchase a 1,800-square-foot ocean-view condominium located on the quiet end of the Salinas Malecón. This comfortable and updated unit features a long, spacious balcony with room for outdoor furniture for enjoying your summer nights whether it is December or June. Public access to the beach is right across the street…just a few steps from your condominium building will have your toes in the sand! The living and dining rooms are designed in an open concept, with two sets of sliding glass doors leading out to the balcony. The separate kitchen is visually open to the main living area through a large pass-through, with a granite counter creating a convenient breakfast bar. The granite countertops continue across three walls, with cabinets below and upper cabinets along two walls. The kitchen features a built-in stove cooktop with wide drawers below and a separate built-in electric oven below the countertop.
The master bedroom features large closets, an en-suite master bathroom, and a large picture window facing the ocean. Open the window and you can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the surf! The second bedroom is roomy enough for a queen-sized bed, and has a back-facing window and built-in closet. The third bedroom is located right off of the balcony…the perfect guest room…although they may never want to leave! The second full bathroom in the unit is located off the hallway, convenient to the bedrooms, as well as, the main living areas. There is bonus space off the hallway also, with more storage cabinets, wire pantry shelves, and a utility area with granite-topped desk. The laundry room with upper and lower cabinet storage with a granite countertop and stainless steel sink plus washer and dryer. This unit is being sold furnished with most of the furniture you see in the photos.
Some things are not meant to last forever….but summer shouldn’t be one of them!
