Salinas, Salinas, Santa Elena, Ecuador
Even wonderful things in life only last for a while and then they’re gone. That tan you get when you spend days at the beach may fade over time. Even the beauty of a sunset that takes your breath away eventually gives way to night. Moments of happiness and joy may have a transitory nature, but the memories…oh, the memories will last forever! It is worth it to do all you can to create memories of and with family and friends. And what better place to forge lasting memories than in this stunning condo with dramatic views of the Pacific Coast of Ecuador? Located on the 23rd floor of the Perlazul, the newest condominium high rise created by the builder of the edificios Alamar, Aquamira, and Bahia – popular premier condominiums in Salinas – you will be dazzled the moment you step into this 2,142-square-foot condo. This builder is known for modern design and high-end materials utilized to exacting north American standards to create condominium complexes that produce a luxurious lifestyle for its residents, and this condo is no exception! The open-concept main living/dining/kitchen area enjoys two walls of sliding glass doors that lead out to a wrap-around balcony with glass balustrade providing unobstructed views of Salinas Bay, the vast Pacific, and the western-most tip of Ecuador’s mainland coast. It is like having a personal whale-watching viewpoint. The U-shaped kitchen features a large sink below a large picture window. Light-colored lower cabinets are topped with gleaming white quartz countertops that wrap around and continue on to the peninsula/breakfast bar that is open to living and dining areas. There is a built-in electric range and wall-mounted oven and microwave, and a refrigerator will soon be installed on the wall opposite the peninsula. You will enjoy abundant storage in the upper and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry on this wall. The master bedroom boasts a set of floor-to-ceiling windows providing an outstanding view of Salinas Bay. There is a dressing area with well-designed closet-organizing drawers and shelves and a counter with a small bonus sink. Beyond the dressing area is the luxurious master bathroom with his-and-her sinks in a floating vanity, low profile one-piece commode, and glass-enclosed shower with a window that keeps the area light and ensure an ocean view even while showering! The second bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking Salinas and Chipipe beaches, a floor-to-ceiling closet, and an en-suite bathroom with vanity, low profile commode, and corner glass-enclosed shower unit. The third bedroom has a large picture window looking out to the peninsula beaches and beyond, and its own en-suite bathroom with similar high-end fixtures. Off the hallway you have a half-bathroom convenient to the main living areas, and a laundry room with upper storage cabinets, a soaking sink, and hook-ups for washer and dryer. A washing machine is due to be installed soon, as is air conditioning throughout the unit. The amenities at the Perlazul are superb. Just one floor below this unit is a spacious sun deck available for residents’ use. On the Mezzanine level you will find common areas available for social gatherings, a sauna, a steam room, and an exercise room with state-of-the-art equipment. Step outside to the terrace where chaise lounge chairs are available for sunning, and outdoor tables and chairs with umbrellas create the perfect spot for a drink with friends while enjoying the beautiful ocean views. There is also a sparkling pool and Jacuzzi if you prefer, although you only have to cross the street to have your toes in the sand of Salinas beach or access to the Salinas pier! This unit includes a designated parking space and storage bodega, and rents for $2,500 per month furnished.
