About this property
Charming beach escape with an ocean view
Book with us and I'll be your personal guide to helping rent a car, dining, shopping, taking the bus, where to find fresh caught fish, you name it, ask me, and I'll find out. I'll also give you some local blogs and Facebook groups you can join before you go to talk to other long-term renters and expats.
WHY US ??
We have been renting our beach villa to all travellers for 20+ years; we are original owners and have been on VRBO since 2004. I'll answer every question you have to make your trip more relaxing. Ask me about rental cars, day trips, shopping ...you name it. The house is well equipped with everything you need for short or long stays. This exceptional villa is in a private and safe location near your own beach and a short drive to all amenities. There is an infinity pool that overlooks the beautiful ocean; you are just steps away from the beach. There is approximately 750 sq/ft of space with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 3 individual air conditioners, solid teak furniture, high-end 600-count linens and a cozy kitchen. A large BBQ on the covered deck, a microwave, and a gas stove. In 2013, we built an outdoor wet bar with a BBQ and counter space with privacy walls. A perfect addition to enjoy your outdoor time late into the evening.
You can walk down to the beach and buy fresh fish from the local fishermen, watch the sunset, or go for a swim. The home is an easy 70-minute drive from Panama City on the Pan-American Highway. If you want to relax inside, we have a Flat Screen TV with cable and wireless internet.
LOCAL FEATURES:
There are a variety of restaurants and shops nearby with local prices, so don't be surprised if you and your companion have one of the best dinners ever for $12 total, including drinks. There are also two 24-hour grocery stores in nearby Coronado, a 7-minute drive or a nice bike ride away. This is the perfect home base to take trips, go hiking, rain forest tours, zip lines, shop, & researching real estate.
WHO LIVES HERE - WHY JOIN US :
The complex consists of mostly American and Canadian owners. There is an onsite caretaker and gated parking. This unit is fully stocked with linens and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, just bring your desire to relax, and we have the rest. On the back deck, there is a propane BBQ and outdoor kitchen. This complex is safe and just waiting for you to stop by for a rest. Call today to secure your rental. Cleaning services are provided upon departure or periodically at your expense. All the amenities of North American living with the Latin culture and prices.
HOW BIG ARE WE? : **Note the villa is most suitable for 1-2 adults and is 750sqft

Guests staying longer than a week pay their own electricity ( usually less than $50) because of the huge discount on long-term rent.
Please note that the short road off the highway to get to the complex can get very bumpy - you need to drive slowly or rent a SUV or Truck- the distance is less than 1 KM

About the host
Hosted by Jason ( Canada) -Mayela Property Manager in Panama
I am a Canadian Real Estate Agent with a passion for Freedom and knowledge - I love new things and Panama amazes me everytime I have been there , which is countless trips over the 22 years since we've owned it
Why they chose this property
This area is very quiet and away from it all however very close to every amenity you could ever want including two 24 hour grocery stores, walking distance to a local fish market down the beach. It's not a tourist only town - it's a great mix of North Americans and people from around the world, each willing to share a story or two.
It's the ideal place to hang your hat when you're exploring the beach and the mountains and doing day trips you could literally take a new day trip for endless days and still spend the night at the beach.
It's very easy to catch the bus into Panama city If you want any of the modern amenities like watching a movie on a big screen with VIP service or dining at some of the world's best restaurants or just going down to the local fish market in Panama city or the old city.

What makes this property unique
The property is unique as it is a bungalow villa with a direct view to the ocean from the infinity pool. Each of the 20 villas has their own front door and private backyard. We are 500 steps from the sand on Gorgona Beach and only a 5-minute walk to a local fish market where you can buy the catch of the day and bring it back to barbecue on the outdoor kitchen area in the back.
We are also ideally situated as a home base for many many day trips you can take to the mountains or to other beaches in the area, also there is some fantastic surfing and amazing fishing as you can imagine.
We have a welcome binder that we email to our guests upon payment of deposit that includes our 20+ years of wisdom about Panama and the area. It's amazing. Our guest also love to walk down to the local fish co-op in the morning to get the catch of the day , and you can ask the fishermen to fillet it for about $2. We have secured parking at a 24-hour on-site complex manager.
We know there's many options to stay in apartments or skyscrapers in the area but we love the fact that we have an outdoor kitchen and that you can get to know your next door neighbor and that it's a small community of owners from around the world that have been there some of them like us for 20 years.
