Santa Ana vacation rentals

We could not be more thankful for booking with Patty and Rudy. The studio was chic and in great condition, and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. They went above and beyond to make our stay in Casco Viejo special, providing fantastic recommendations and making communication effortless. Rudy’s tours were a highlight—informative, unique, and truly immersive. As first-time international travelers, we felt completely at home thanks to their hospitality. We highly recommend staying here and would book with them again in a heartbeat!

7 day trip. The location is really good. 200ft from the restaurant casa casco. I walked every morning to see the different shops in casco viejo and then again each evening for a different meal. There is one panamanian neighbor who works late in his shop but he was freindly. Attorney annette barcenas has her art gallery across the street and i met several talented local artists on two of the nights. I would stay again.

Wonderful place , beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable and fabulous location!!

There was some confusion about our checkin process. 5 days prior our trip, I asked for the checkin instructions to be emailed along with the address of the property. We also did not know where to find the key if we had known the apartment number. The email was missing the apartment number and without it, security would not let us enter the building. Unfortunately my phone was not working in Panama and we had no wifi, so we had to go to a nearby hotel, borrow their wifi, borrow a phone and ask for help from a translator. I'm not sure what happened but we did not get the house number until 3 hours after our checkin time. I was starting to panic a little not having a place to stay after a 10 hour journey, with my dog, and not being able to easily contact the host, so I booked another hotel and we were not able to stay at the property. The building looks very nice and the neighborhood is great. We are sorry that we did not have timely communication of the correct instructions to enter the rental, therefore, could not stay. The host did however refund our money and that was greatly appreciated. VRBO did nothing to help us here as the communication between us, the host and them was severely lacking. VRBO should do better and PLEASE don't arrive at the property without all of the necessary information.

Our family of four stayed here for a week. Our family consists of my husband, two daughters ages 9 & 12, and myself. We all had the best experience at Patty and Rudy’s place. They were welcoming from the moment we met them. They assisted with our luggage and gave us a tour and oriented us to the house. The house was very clean and we all felt at home right away. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants, shops and the market. Ubers were always available for trips further away. I would highly recommend this vacation rental for your next family getaway. Thank you Patty and Rudy for making our vacation even more perfect!

The views from this property are spectacular! We figure it’s about a 320 degree view. 2 balconies, both with ocean views. Also city and mountain views - you get it all. Floor to ceiling windows all around. High quality blinds if you’d like to shut out the view. If you’re a good photographer, you’ll have fun trying to capture the beauty around you. A perfect spot to view the ship traffic entering and exiting the Panama Canal. I use the website Vessel Finder to search the details on the ships I see. It gives you the name and type of the ship, plus info on where they’re coming from and where they’re going. Book during the full moon phase for an incredible show. Influencer? Your Instagram photos will be jaw dropping. That bathtub? Wow 🤩 A phenomenal cross breeze. We rarely used the air conditioning. However, if you’re that person who likes AC, it’s plenty powerful. Gas stove and oven for the chef. Decent utensils. Nice selection of pots and pans. Cotton sheets from Italy. King sized bed is comfy. Natuzzi leather sofa is a sleeper sofa. Very nice well equipped gym. Pools on both sides of the building. One side has a lap pool, kiddie pool and whirlpools (warm, not hot), the other side has what I use for a walking track - it’s shin deep and provides a good resistance workout; plus it has a large pool with a deck overlooking the Yacht Club. A beautiful party room with white leather sofas - would also be great for a fashion photo shoot (I have a vivid imagination). You can walk to a major grocery store from here - RIBA Smith. There’s a little store across from the building and a Justo Y Bueno 2 blocks away. If you take public transit there’s a bus stop outside the door on Avenida Balboa, and you’re a couple of blocks from a subway station. You’re a short Uber ride away from the nightlife in Casco Viejo or pretty much anywhere else in Panama City. If you have an issue, the property manager Margarita is incredibly helpful and she responds to emails quickly. I was hesitant to book a property with no reviews - that’s why mine is so long. The elevators are quick. The wifi is good. I don’t think the TV is a smart TV. We travel with an HDMI cable and a ‘Jack’ that allows us to hook our IPad up to the tv. We were delighted with our stay.
