About this property

Choose Twilight Tide Villa if you expect nothing but the best from your vacation

Twilight Tide is a brand new, two story luxury vacation villa with space to accommodate 20 guests, located right on the vast golden sand beach of Manglaralto, Ecuador. Our villa is a place of spectacular sunsets, and peaceful starlit nights. With over 4,000 square feet of spacious and luxuriously furnished living space, Twilight Tide Villa is perfect for the discerning guests looking to spend a serene beach vacation, yet stay in close proximity to the lively, bohemian vibe of Montana.

Guests who expect nothing but the best from their luxury vacation will not be disappointed. Located on the gorgeous, quiet beach of Manglaralto, two miles from the lively town of Montanita. The villa is divided into 3 private entry units - Moonlight, Sunrise & Sunset. The open-concept floor plans have fresh air pouring through large French windows and 20 feet of sliding glass doors opening to the ocean. Through the doors, relaxation awaits on the large private terrace which features a wet bar, built-in grill, deluxe wicker furniture and mood lighting.

Moonlight - Upstairs, in the elegantly under-stated Master suite with vaulted ceilings, an entire wall of sliding glass doors provide panoramic views of the Pacific. The doors open to a large private balcony overlooking the beach. The balcony features a wet-bar with a wine/beer refrigerator and patio set for your enjoyment while watching the remarkable sunsets. The bedroom features a king size bed with a spectacular, spacious ensuite bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. Moonlight includes two more bedrooms. A guest room on the 2nd floor features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. A guest room on the ground floor features full size deluxe bunk beds, accommodating 4 people. The ground floor includes a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Sunrise - Our ground floor, two-bedroom apartment provides walk-out access directly from your terrace to the gorgeous infinity pool and Jacuzzi. Two very comfortable bedrooms with fine linens, share a stylish and well-thought-out bathroom. One of the bedrooms features a queen-size bed, while the other one features two full size beds. Furthermore, Sunrise has its own private terrace facing the ocean, the perfect place to enjoy a truly spectacular sunset and a glass of the finest Argentine Malbec.

Sunset - Enjoy drinks on the balcony, relaxing on your patio furniture, watching the sky explode with the bright colors of the Ecuadorian sunset. The two bedrooms are designed to provide absolute comfort, and share a huge, state-of-the-art bathroom. One of the bedrooms features a queen-size bed, while the other one features two full size beds. And if you’re here in July through September, don’t forget you can watch humpback whales swimming by right from your private balcony!

For your comfort, sun loungers surround the pool and day beds are located under a thatched-roof Tiki cabana. The lush, tropical landscaped grounds include barbecue grills and Wi-Fi throughout.

Extremely difficult and invasive owners
We are a group of respectful 30s-year-olds who booked this house because it said it sleeps 20 people. When the owners found out it was 20 people they told us the house does not actually sleep 20 so we booked a second house in the neighborhood. They then became suspicious and told us we would only be allowed to have 16 people at the house at all times. When we arrived, we realized there is a man living on the property who has use of the pool and hot tub, we were not informed at all about the presence of another person. Thankfully, this man turned out to be a kind person- however the owners should have let us know in advance. Additionally, the owners came on the property every day to snoop and wander around. They also entered the house without any notice when we would be out of the home and would leave before we returned. They were undergoing construction in front of the pool, with bulldozers and gigantic rocks. Their cars blocked our exit from the driveway. It felt unsafe to use the beach during the day, disruptive to a relaxing vacation, and a complete invasion of privacy. When someone books a “private home”, they expect privacy. On the last day, they came banging on the door claiming we entered an “owner’s closet” and took their personal beach towels. There was no sign on any closets in the house and it became clear they were entering the house and snooping when we were all away. This is one of the most uninviting and rude host experiences our group has ever had.

Beautiful House but Countrywide unrest
Due to political protests and roadblocks preventing travel north and south of Playa Montanita we had to leave the property half way through our expected stay to be sure we could make flights home. Property was beautiful with great communication with the property manager.
