Monthly Rentals in Salango

Marco and Gabi’s place was wonderful! Located in town, close to everything, steps from the beach and right behind their Italian restaurant, which you must try while you’re there, one of the best restaurants in Ayampe!

Home baked goods, bbq grill, supplementary kitchen supplies, super view, and good vibes were all included. Agnes and her husband Vincent went above and beyond. They felt more like my family than a simple airbnb host. Hosts also provided experience suggestions and guidance which led us to our first horse riding on Valentine’s Day.

This place is perfect for disconnecting from the city! My boyfriend and I love to spend in the pool watching the sea, or eating watching the sunset, it is a very quiet place and with several beaches nearby ❤️

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!)
