Little Piece of Paradise in Curia

This lovely home and area was a great break for my family over Christmas. We enjoyed staying here and felt safe and taken care of for our complete stay. The views were spectacular and the sound of the ocean in the background was beautiful. We would for sure come back here again. You can’t get a better location as it is quieter but within a short driving distance of Olon and Ayampe. The beaches are long and clean and the water was so warm and inviting. We walked down to the beach daily that was only a 5 min walk. The housekeeping service that came with the house was very much appreciated. That left us more time to rest and enjoy the area. Overall a great experience.

Terrific Experience!

Not only was this house beautiful, but the owner and staff were unbelievably helpful and accomodating! We made several special requests (including home-cooked meals, laundry service, pre-stocking the house with groceries) and each were handled expertly! We had no trouble getting local taxi service- it seems all drivers knew the house location. Though there was no central air conditioning in the main living area, there are plenty of fans and windows, Each bedroom has it's own AC unit if necessary. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

I would not recommend for Families with small children or people with mobility issues

We booked this place due to the high ratings it had. It looked perfect and was advertised as 5 minutes from the beach. The location is over a steep hill, so it was 5 minutes in a car, as you also need to cross a busy street. Our group had 5 kids (10, 7, 5, 4, and 1), so that would have been very difficult to go to the beach walking with all of them. The person who runs the place was very responsive and accommodating as well as the person who cleans the house daily. These are all the issues we encountered: 1) Toilet clogged. It was resolved quickly but the other bathroom has a weird smell so I am not sure if there is a plumbing issue 2) They have moths that made holes in two pieces of clothing. My bed (I had one on one of the lofts), was full of little balls of something. I asked because it seem like sawdust and the person in charge of the house confirmed they had moths and that it was probably that. 3) The lofts are Ok but very steep for little kids to go up and down. One of the staircases does not have a handle, so my niece (who is 4) fell down from it. We spent one night and then decided to book another place. We did not talk to the person in charge about leaving because at that point we wanted to rescue the rest of the days we had and we had enough by that point. The service is great, and the house has a lot of great qualities, being quiet and well decorated. They have ACs in all the bedrooms and they are all new. The surroundings are peaceful and the kitchen is well stocked. I just feel it needs some work, but I would not recommend it for families with little kids.

Amazing!

This is a beautiful home, on beautiful property! We loved that it was just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Montanita, yet close enough to reach it when we wanted to with a few minute taxi ride. The caretakers are also wonderful and very responsive.

A beautiful beach and adequate house.

After reading all of the previous reviews I was prepared to be wowed by our little vacation in Curia. The beach is beautiful and very clean. The town is quiet and feels safe. The house was fine. Not amazing, not spectacular (as many of the reviews suggested), but fine. It met our needs. Yes, it is stocked with adequate dishes. It was nice to have use of the washer and dryer. I did not feel that it was SUPER clean as some of the reviews claimed. When we arrived I asked for some floors to be redone and for hair to be removed from one of the showers. It felt like a rustic beach cabin with the heat, bugs, and sand/dirt that you'd expect to find. There is no A/C and we really suffered at night. Both of the bathrooms have plumbing issues which is kind of gross (one shower doesn't drain well and one toilet doesn't flush well). The rooms of the house are smaller than pictured. Yes, the personal (Bernard and Gilson) were excellent. Overall, it was a fine beach trip. I would love to give it 4 or 5 stars, but that would be a dishonest representation.

Gute Erholung

Das Haus war Super, wir wurden durch Gilson und Elia ganz toll betreut. Da es sehr heiss und feucht war, hatte es viele Mücken, auch im Haus. Der Weg durch das weisse Tor zum Strand war ziemlich vermüllt, wir nahmen danach einen Weg über ein brachliegendes Grundstück. Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Haus sehr genossen. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Nur den Gasherd fanden wir gefährlich, da der Anzündknopf nicht funktionierte, vor allem wenn man den nbackofen anzünden wollte musste man sich auf den Boden legen, einer bedient den Schaltknopf, der Andere hat das Feuerzeug.....
