Some properties are homes. Others are experiences. Welcome to The Pool House, a truly one-of-a-kind oceanfront property in the quiet beach town of Manglaralto, where the centerpiece isn’t simply part of the home—it is the home. Set on 760 m² of prime beachfront land, this is a property created for someone who sees beyond the ordinary—an investor, visionary, or lifestyle buyer looking for something unforgettable. The heart of the property is its spectacular elevated resort-style swimming pool, designed to create a dramatic almost infinity-pool type effect overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Positioned between the residence and the sea, it is one of the largest private pools in town and the true focal point of the entire property. Surrounding the pool is an expansive raised entertainment deck, offering endless possibilities for lounging, private events, retreats, boutique hospitality, or unforgettable sunset gatherings. Every evening here feels different—palm trees swaying, birds crossing low over the water, and the Pacific stretching endlessly in front of you. This is not simply a residence—this is a destination. A spacious covered pergola with BBQ area creates the perfect place for entertaining, outdoor dining, working remotely, or simply relaxing in a hammock with ocean breezes and sunset views. It even features a built-in chiminea for cozy evenings or burning palo santo. Even more unique: beneath the elevated pool structure, there is valuable space with the potential for additional storage rooms, service areas, or even another guest suite—adding even more investment potential. * Private Residence Included * On the street-side corner of the property sits a beautifully newly rebuilt two-story private suite, thoughtfully designed for owner occupancy, premium rental income, or guest accommodations. The apartment was rebuilt from the structure outward—not cosmetic updates, but a true full renovation—including a new roof, all new electrical wiring, updated plumbing access, modern breakers, grounded outlets, GFCIs, fresh finishes, and durable materials chosen specifically for coastal living. Main Level • Open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light • Dining space perfectly positioned beside the window with pool and ocean views • Built-in living area with custom cedar details and integrated entertainment space • Modern kitchen with quartz countertops, marine-grade sealed cabinetry, and durable finishes • Double sink positioned directly in front of the kitchen window—yes, even doing dishes comes with an ocean view • Guest bathroom The entire design emphasizes airflow, warmth, and easy indoor-outdoor living. Upper Level Upstairs becomes a peaceful private retreat: • Spacious primary bedroom • Dedicated office nook with hardwired ethernet for reliable remote work • Large walk-in closet • Oversized bathroom with quartz counters and large walk-in shower • Charming Juliet balcony with ocean views From the bedroom, you wake to views of the Pacific, palm trees, and sunsets that never repeat themselves. Below the suite you’ll also find a laundry room and storage area. The property includes parking for at least 2 vehicles. * Why Manglaralto? * Manglaralto is one of Ecuador’s hidden coastal gems—peaceful, authentic, and perfectly positioned near the energy of Montañita while maintaining a much quieter and more residential atmosphere. Known for its long beaches, surfing lifestyle, wellness retreats, and growing expat appeal, the area attracts those seeking both tranquility and tourism potential. This property could become: • A luxury private retreat • Boutique Airbnb concept • Wellness or yoga retreat • Small event venue • Eco-tourism or hospitality project • Signature vacation rental unlike anything else on the coast The Pool House is not for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. This is a rare opportunity for the right buyer to own something nearly impossible to duplicate: a true oceanfront statement property designed around experience, lifestyle, and vision.
