About

Rooted in Manta

Based in Manta, we care for coastal homes with local knowledge, attentive service, and hospitality standards few can match. From welcoming vacation guests to coordinating property upkeep, rent collection, and monthly reporting, we help owners feel confident their place is in good hands — whether they live across town or across the ocean.
For us, this work is personal. We’re Raphy and Esteban — Manta locals who believe that managing a property means protecting someone’s dream. That’s why we answer in English and Spanish, send weekly video updates and monthly ledgers, and fix problems on the spot through the trusted network of professionals we’ve built over the years: technicians, doctors, lawyers, cooks, and more.
More than property managers, we’re a bridge between cultures — helping expats, investors, and retirees from around the world feel at home on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, one property and one guest at a time.

Local care

We’re based in Manta — this is our home, and local knowledge shapes every stay and every property decision we make. From the moment guests arrive to the monthly updates we send owners, we look after the details with a personal touch you can only get from a team that truly lives here. Bilingual communication, on-the-spot solutions through our trusted local network, and hospitality standards — that’s how we care for every home as if it were our own.

We know Manta’s neighborhoods, beaches, and the rhythms of life on Ecuador’s Pacific coast — the best streets to invest in, the quietest beaches, which restaurants the locals actually love. It’s knowledge you can only earn by living here, and it’s yours the moment you work with us.

Our local presence means a thoughtful welcome for guests and reliable support for owners.

“Until the day you walk through that door and say ‘we’re home.’”
John and Lara own a beautiful apartment in the Skorpios Building here in Manta — but their lives are still in the United States. For now, their home here waits patiently for the day they retire to paradise. And until that day comes, it’s our honor to keep it perfect for them.
“We trust Raphy and Esteban completely,” they shared in their review. From spotless cleanings and constant video updates to quick fixes whenever something needs attention, every detail of their apartment is handled as if it were our own — so when they finally arrive, their home is ready and waiting, exactly as they left it.
Because to us, this was never just a property. It’s where their next chapter will begin — and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.
