The Property

We guarantee the best value for your dollar in the area and provide an exceptional property for you to enjoy with family and friends. Boca del Rio is fully air conditioned. Our rooms are made up of three queen beds and two double sofa beds on two levels. Two bedrooms on the first level each with a queen bed and the double sofa beds. On the 2nd level is the third bedroom, a true Principal bedroom with a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom.
Also, on the second level is where you will find the open concept kitchen/living area with a large sectional sofa.
Walk out from the kitchen/living area and step onto the deck/terrace that spans the entire property. This is where you will experience unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and stunning sunsets. All the action is yours to enjoy from your private terrace and where you can also look down unto the pool.
Should the ocean not be your thing; no worries, the property is equipped with your own 17 foot long splash pool that looks onto the Pacific Ocean through a glass window but still enclose providing tons of privacy. No need sharing a pool or space with strangers!
We are Canadians and Canadians BBQ year round including winter when it can reach
-35 degrees outside. There are no winters in Ecuador, so you are provided a BBQ to enhance your enjoyment of the outdoors.
Can you picture it; your favorite drink, some shrimp, chicken, steak, vegetables, etc and enjoy a relaxing evening with your family and friends. Prepare yourself some great meals on the BBQ.
Remember, you can also have a private chef that does it all for you, giving you more time to enjoy and relax. If you are looking to use the services of a private chef we do have to check their availability so advance notice of at least 2-3 days are mandatory. If you are looking to have a specific meal catered or done in house, we need to know if you are looking for all three meals, one meal or two meals, we also need that information to provide pricing. We would also need to know what meal(s) you would like. For example, only breakfast which may be more cost effective than say lunch or dinner.
Walk along the beach or the Malecon and explore the neighbourhood restaurants. No need for a car if your plans are to stay close to home. Not only can you walk to get all you may need but everything can be delivered to you. From your grocery to your preferred meals, beer, alcohol, etc. A Chef will be able to prepare in house or prepare meals off site and deliver to you. A babysitting service may also be available with advance notice for the evening(s) or day(s) the adults may want to have some adult time without the kids…..we know you love your kiddos; but 🙂
Residing in Ecuador and looking to get away and have some downtime in La Boca. We are 45 minutes drive from Manta, 3.5 hours from Guayaquil and 6.5 from Quito. Of course you can fly from Guayaquil or Quito and arrive in Manta where we can arrange for your pickup to Boca del Rio Vacation Rental.
We hope in the next future Manta Airport will become an International Airport thus making your time from the airport to us a short 45 minutes drive for our International guests.
If you are exploring for a while, you may want to consider a trip to the Galapagos….you are in Ecuador and so close! Let us assist you in exploring Unesco first listed World Heritage Site.
There are also places like Puerto Lopez which is the whale watching capital of the Manabi coast. We work with tours operators who can take you whale watching. If fishing or Scuba Diving is your thing, we can also arrange those activities for you.

We would like all our guest to know we are not a property for parties. If you are celebrating an occasion like an anniversary, birthday, etc, the only people to be onsite are the ones booked and outlined which will be no more than 10 guests. Parties with outside guests are forbidden and if at anytime we are aware of more people on the property than stated; you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund.
