Beach Front Private House 2bd
Amazing location. Abdel was a great host, very friendly and helpful. I’d stay again

The Penthouse in La Punta
The penthouse is even more incredible than the photos show - it’s so beautiful, modern and well furnished with all of the little touches that make it feel homey. We’ve been able to cook in the fully equipped kitchen, and we have panoramic views of the beach and the surf break at La Punta. Also to mention that the linen is high quality, and the mattresses are the comfiest I’ve slept on so far in 5 weeks in Ecuador. Thank you for hosting us Gracie!
