Playa Dorada is a 6 unit gated condo development north of Bahia de Caraquez and about 5 km south of Canoa, Ecuador. The condos sit directly on the beach. Simply unlock the gate and the beach is there.

The condo comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen, linens, washer, dryer, high speed internet, flat screen smart TV (no TV service, for computer use) and hair dryer.
Next to the infinity pool is a covered gazebo complete with a propane BBQ, tables, chairs and a sink with running water.

Lovely people, spectacular sunsets
This was a clean cosy condo unit in a small 6 unit building. Security was excellent, the pool was clean and the other residents were super welcoming. Highlights were the daily barefoot beach walks and the magnificent sunsets. Both the property owner and the property manager were very helpful. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet relaxing home base from which to explore the Ecuadorian coast.

Slice of Paradise
From the initial booking with Peggy to our sad last day, it was a wonderful vacation. The condo is situated on a beautiful long sandy beach and we spent many hours walking on it searching for treasures. The well kept pool area was our best friend daily! Becky, the condo manager was there to meet us when we arrived and arranged our airport transportation to the condo upon our arrival in Ecuador. Becky also arranged taxi drivers if we required for road trips and was a wealth of information. The condo was like our home for a month and very comfortable. It had great amenities. The washer and dryer came in handy for our long stay. Such Beautiful well kept grounds. We were sad to have to leave. Thanks Peggy and Reg for letting us experience beautiful Ecuador from your awesome condo!

Playa Dorada
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Access to the Pacific is outside the gate. The town of Canoa is an enjoyable 1 hour walk along the Pacific, or a bus runs every 1/2 hour. You can also visit San Vincente or Bahia by bus, a short 10-15 minute ride. Complex is beautiful and clean with lovely Owners.

First Time in Ecuador
Property owner and manager were a delight to work with. Condo was very clean. Easy transportation outside the door to Canoa, San Vicente and Bahia. Other owners and renters in the 6 unit complex were very friendly and helpful. We even joined them on their weekly trivia team!

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Galbraith

Host profile image
We currently live near Calgary, Alberta, Canada and had been looking for many years at international properties. We were looking for certain criteria such as inexpensive living, infrastructure, medical and of course, the weather.

Why they chose this property

We chose Playa Dorada because of it's location and size. There are only 6 condo units so you never have to feel crowded in the infinity pool. You just cannot beat being right on the beach and the sunsets are amazing. We also liked that the developer was American and built to American plumbing standards.

What makes this property unique

Warm Pacific Ocean water, miles of beach to walk and bus transportation right outside of our property make this property location perfect.
