About this property

4-6 guests, 5 Beds / 2.5 Baths • Private Villa / Beachfront Pool & Club

Our ocean access 2-bedroom 2.5 bathroom villa was designed for tropical comfort and enjoyment at Panama's best surf beach! Newly built in 2019, the air-conditioned Spanish Colonial-style house offers an open-concept central living space with a direct connection to a private terrace (open or close as desired). Dine inside at the breakfast bar or outside at a full dining table made from almond wood that seats eight people under the covered terrace.

Easy walk to the beach (3 minutes and your toes are in the ocean).

The new kitchen includes all modern appliances, granite countertops, and multiphase phase reverse osmosis water filtering and UV light. We even have a reserve water tank with 2 additional filtration systems. The living space includes two comfortable couches, two side chairs, a teak wood TV entertainment center, a very large Samsung screen Smart TV with sound bar and subwoofer which also has Apple TV and high-speed Wi-Fi via Starlink that is on a battery backup APC for no outages during automatic transfer to generator power.

One of the bedrooms includes a super comfortable queen-sized Beautyrest mattress with a private bathroom shower and 2 sink vanity. The other bedroom has two single (twin) size beds, a bunkbed, and a private full bathroom. An over under washer and dryer are in the wash closet. The house is adorned throughout with local Panamanian and international fine art.

The terrace is also optionally equipped with a relaxing hammock. Around the villa is an abundance of seasonal fresh fruits: pineapple, passionfruit, starfruit, papaya, pitaya, coconut, mulberry, figs, purple bananas, & native plantain, as well as various herbs: lemongrass, mint, oregano, chives, galangal, and more. You will surely want to smell our fragrant and colorful flowers: hibiscus, clitoria, several specimens of frangipani, love lies bleeding, moringa, jasmine, and more. There is also an outdoor shower to rinse off after swimming or surfing. Just walk along the naturally smooth agate stone path towards the backside of the villa. for a quick rinse.

Just 250 meters away is a community resort-style shared infinity swimming pool with lots of hammocks underneath the shaded lounge area and easy access to the stunning Pacific Ocean beach. Don't forget the oceanfront restaurant and bar, which are also part of the community area.

Playa Venao (the beach!) is a breathtakingly beautiful crescent-shaped bay and one of the best destinations in Panama for surfing, fishing, and an outdoor active lifestyle. With one of the driest climates in Panama and an abundance of natural attractions, this area of the Azuero Peninsula is growing into one of the premier destinations in Panama for tourism, retirement, and second homes.

This beach area has a unique old-school, relaxed tropical ambiance. It is a rural area surrounded by giant ocean-view farms and a friendly, hard-working local community. Surfers come from all over the world for the amazing waves, sport fishermen come for the "Tuna Coast," and scuba divers choose from multiple dive sites, including the nearby Frailes Islands. With great kayaking, hiking, a sea turtle nursery, horseback riding, and more, visitors and residents alike enjoy a very special lifestyle.

Playa Venao is an AMAZING destination! World-class surfing, renown for deep sea & shore fishing, a nesting beach for sea turtles, bioluminescent waves, whales jumping in the bay, and most importantly, a small but lovable community that offers a wide range of diversity in culinary arts to holistic and healing as well spiritual enlightenment. Playa Venao is becoming one of Latin America's most desirable destinations for everything from relaxation to extreme sports and regenerative tourism.

Comfort close to everything in Playa Venao, yet quiet location

It's easily one of the most thoughfully equipped houses we stayed at. Lots of attention to detail. Scott and his team were very prompt and helpful when we had logistic challenges. Plus, he put us on the alert list for hatchlings at the nearby turtle sanctuary. The only drawback: It took VRBO two weeks to refund the substantial security deposit, although it was obvious within two minutes that there weren't any damages.

Thanks Arno! Very kind words indeed. I am not familiar with the VRBO refund process, nor have I had much ability to expedite the process, or I indeed would have done so. Next time, we will have more baby turtles if you come in September - December.

Simply Incredible

Scott’s Villa is in one of the BEST locations in venao. The place was well stocked, clean, safe, and perfect for a friendship getaway. The beds were comfy and the ac was necessary!! :) We loved the hammock on the back porch and the sound bar in the living room. The property managers were awesome- met us at check in and checkout and messaged often to make sure we were good. A++++ place!
