Bamboo Beach Home in Surfer's Paradise

**Now with high-speed FIBER OPTIC 25mbps internet and a hot water shower.** Inspired by the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, this 3-story jungle-themed retreat is consistently described as "my tropical dream house" by first-time visitors. Come and experience a true escape in this one-of-a-kind vacation rental while Mompiche is still charming and relatively undiscovered... Custom-built eco-tropical bamboo home in one of Ecuador's most lush and authentic coastal villages. The tiny fishing village of Mompiche has only recently been "discovered" for its world-class surfing point-- producing the longest warm-water left in South America. As a result, it still retains much of the rich Afro-ecuadorian culture that makes Esmeraldas Province such a memorable experience for visitors. Nestled at the southern end of a sweeping crescent bay, surrounded by the jungles of Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve, adventures for nature-lovers abound here. Exuding character and warmth, this tropical home gives the feel of open-air living due to its unique architectural design. Fully-furnished and recently updated, the house is constructed entirely of locally-sourced eco-alternative materials (with the exception of hardwood floors), and comfortably sleeps up to eight guests. Key amenities include: •views of the Pacific ocean and surrounding rainforest from 2nd & 3rd floors, oversized A-frame windows in both 3rd-floor bedrooms •tiled kitchen island designed for entertaining, 2-door chrome refrigerator, and gas range •open floor plan between kitchen, living room, and front balcony for group-friendly lodging dynamics •interior bamboo bridge with bird's eye view of kitchen •private yard filled with lush tropical vegetation •cozy front & back balconies on first floor with hammock, loveseat •spacious open-air shower big enough for two in master bathroom •reliable fiber optic wifi throughout the home •covered car port and securely-fenced yard In short, this home aims to achieve a balance between rustic eco-friendly design and the modern essentials that guests expect for a comfortable stay. We warmly invite you to come and experience true tropical living for yourself. Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Our on-site manager Roger, aka "Cloro" as per Mompiche nomenclature, is available to interact with guests as much, or as little, as they like. We try to create a friendly, inclusive, and helpful "community" type vibe in all of our rentals. Situated at the center of Mompiche's most tourist-friendly neighborhood and steps from the beach, this home offers the perfect location for your stay in paradise. Sip on a tropical cocktail at the infamous "Casi Guapo's" beachfront bar just down the footpath out front, keep an ear out for live acoustic music across the street at Bam-bu, or just kick back on whichever balcony suits your mood: secluded morning coffee & birdwatching from the loveseat out back or evening wine & people-watching from the 2-person hammock in front. Everything in Mompiche can be easily accessed by foot. "Town" consists of a friendly village that takes approximately 5 minutes to cross, the surf point that made Mompiche famous is a 5-10 minute walk past colorful fishing boats down a beautiful tropical beach, and mile upon mile of picturesque oceanfront hikes are available for exploring both to the north and south of Mompiche proper. We can provide more details about specific treasures if you're interested.
