You hear the sound of the ocean, so ocean front(but many trees, in front of your view,) on one side, and the jungle on the other… it was amazing

A beautiful property and a great location. True jungle living with only a short walk to the beac

First of all the house is definitely out of the way but Michael held our hand the entire way and then came to the road and helped us get to the property. But once he showed us the way it was easy to find our way going out on adventures every day and back again. The house was set up with everything that we needed for our stay with a beautiful front porch that we could sit at night and watch the monkeys climb around the trees. The host taught us so much about monkeys in their habits it definitely turned into an educational vacation also. The beach was such a short walk from the unit and once you get on the beach if you saw one or two people you would be lucky. I can honestly say out of all my rentals I’ve done With VRBO Lyne and Michael we’re probably the best hosts. Michael would take time each day to answer any and all your questions you have about the surrounding area. Lyne also made breakfast one day of granola and fruit cup and then when we were leaving had banana muffins so we can eat them on the road. Just try to picture walking out of a dense jungle with all kinds of animals and within 30 feet you’re on a sandy beach watching the waves roll up on the shore. I’ve only been gone two days from their beautiful home and already I’m looking forward to the return trip as soon as I can make it. Tina and Dave

Einfach wunderschön

Wir waren für 7 Tage bei Lyne und Michael im Jungle Paradies... und wären gerne länger geblieben. Der einsame Sandstrand ist unbeschreiblich schön...wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, wird sie bestimmt hier finden... Wir sind geschwommen, Boggie Boards gesurft und haben am Torio Beach gesurft... Ach ja, Wale und Delphine gesehen. Jeden Morgen hat uns Lyne mit Frühstück (gegen Gebühr) überrascht... sehr zu empfehlen. Und Michael hat uns die Tierwelt gezeigt... haben mehrfach Kapuzineräffchen direkt neben uns gesehen.... Danke für die tolle Zeit... wir kommen wieder... Als Restaurants haben uns das Food Shack in Torio ( super Sushi) und Gabis „Punta Duarte Garden Inn“ je 2 mal sehr gut gefallen

About the host

Hosted by Lyne Arbour-Heim & Michael Heim

Michael was born in London, Ontario and Lyne was born in Quebec. Lyne's family moved to Ontario when she was a child and then she moved to Calgary, AB and resided there until 2012. Michael's family moved to Calgary when he was a young adult. Lyne and Michael met in Calgary. Michael and Lyne bought this fantastic property in 2007 but didn't build until 2013. They finished the guest house in 2014 and it was always the plan to open rental accommodations. Michael and Lyne retired in Panama in late 2012. They have learned a lot about what it takes to retire in Central America and are happy to share this with their guests.
They are also happy to assist you with your excursions in the area if you wish.
Lyne keeps busy as a personal trainer, enjoying yoga, and entertaining dinner guests. She was in the software business in Calgary, AB, for her last corporate employment. Michael was in the printing business and business consulting for many years in Calgary. Now that Michael has finished the construction of their 2 houses, whereby, he was the designer, engineer, and builder, which he really enjoyed, he is doing the retiree role. He also enjoys fishing, scuba-diving, snorkeling, writing, and swimming.
Lyne and Michael are proud Canadians who needed to get away from the cold.
They have made many friends from around the world in their expanding expat community.
They are enjoying their new relaxed lifestyle but it's always wise to keep busy, thus why they have the rental accommodations. They also want to share the pure beauty of their nature's oasis which is a 'birder's' dream, as well as any wildlife enthusiasts'.

Why they chose this property

We searched for a retirement location in many countries around the world and finally chose Panama.
Panama is the latest retirement heaven and is getting a lot of publicity as of late (10 years).
We appreciate that they use the U.S. dollar as their currency, have a democratic government without an army and have a GDP that is strongly supported by the world-famous 'Panama canal'.
The country is in growth mode. It has a good medical system.
Panama welcomes foreigners with visas that include incentives to ensure their transition into a first world country.

What makes this property unique

We cherish the community that we reside in as it is unspoiled and still basically a mini jungle with a lot of wildlife. We intend to maintain the eco-system on our property for our guests to enjoy.
We are located 22 meters from the beach and have the title to this property. Owning property this close to the sandy beach is unique to Panama. All other countries that we have traveled to, the government does not allow land to be purchased with full title unless it's at least 200 meters back from the high tide line.
We enjoy the seclusion that this property and beach allow us.
We also have a gentle slope to access the beach, therefore, no cliffs to climb or descend.
