This place was incredible! Right in the middle of the mountain and surrounded by nature! Gorgeous views perfect for adventurous couples and families. We visited with our 5 kids (ages 4-16). The house was perfect for our family. The kids swam in the gorgeous pool and we did a few hikes down by the river. A few things to keep in mind. You’re in the middle of the woods of Panama. You will see critters; my kids love lizards and we even saw a cane toad a few times. But if you’re not into nature this may be a hard place to enjoy. You’re also responsible for the echo house (so splitting recycling from trash and not flushing TP). Finally, if you’re trying to get to Boquete it is a 40 min car ride. These are not big things but something we found out that I thought I’d share. The hosts are kind enough to have spices and cleaning supplies in hand. They also were very responsive and recommended great places to eat + shop. I couldn’t be happier with our stay, we will be back
This is a wonderful place! An elegant, open plan house, the best-equipped kitchen we have experienced in vacation rentals on 4 continents, a pool, hot-tub, great beds and bedding. There is a fantastic set of instructions that explains everything clearly. The huge property borders a river that has great swimming, and there is lots of walking. The views from the dining area are amazing. This place is perfect for nature lovers: from botany to birds, reptiles to raptors. The house is solar-powered and off-grid, so using appliances with high energy draws should be done in the morning. The property is close to a small town, and there is good shopping and restaurants in Boquete, but won't work well for those who wish to dine out every day. The driveway is steep and not suitable for low clearance vehicles. We have come here 2 years running, and will come again, because coming to a special place like this is a joy and a privilege.
The place is absolutely incredible. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the privacy and peaceful atmosphere—it’s the perfect escape. The beach is beautiful and just adds to the whole experience. One of the highlights for us was the horseback riding tours, which were unforgettable and such a unique way to explore the area. The pool is fantastic as well—clean, relaxing, and perfect for both adults and kids. Everything about the property is very well maintained, and you can tell a lot of care goes into making sure guests have a great stay. This is truly an amazing place for families. It’s safe, spacious, and has something for everyone to enjoy. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
We live close by in the cool mountains of Vikcan. This is by far the fastest, easiest, and nicest beach getaway Positive: Amazing secure beachfront luxury home in a private community; ez access. Well appointed comfortable home with many amenities providing most everything needed for a carefree, special beach getaway. Beds very comfortable. Property manager Tom, was friendly, responsive, accessible. Love that we could always hear sound of the waves from anywhere on the property. Pool was STELLAR! Negative: Needs better pillows; too bulky for short people. Cotton sheets instead of polyester. Clearer instructions in the welcome /guide book for getting in/out the private gate. Maybe provide paper towels for kitchen.
We based ourselves in David and then branched out from there. This location was awesome and the house itself was amazing. It has everything you need. It was a little hard to find, but apparently it's better to use waze in Panama over Google maps. Walter is a fantastic host. He'll meet you at the house to show you how everything works. Additionally we'll be forever thankful for his assistance in going above and beyond by helping us with an issue we had in Volcan, which obviously had nothing to do with the house. He's extremely helpful and friendly! Highly recommend this house for staying in David!! It's like a home away from home!
An exceptional stay from start to finish! Chester (and Tom) is a stellar host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The space was pristine, perfectly located, and stocked with wonderful amenities. He provided amazing local recommendations, great information on the neighborhood and local area and was incredibly responsive. If you get the chance to book this place, do it! Chester is one of kind, an outstanding host who truly cares about his guests. 10/10 would highly recommend!
We came on this trip to Panama. hoping to experience a part of Panama that was not an Americanized tourist spot. This place gave us everything we hoped for. We experienced a small town, small restaurants, and were surrounded by nature. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to experience. what is truly Panama. The only thing is if you're used to air conditioning, you may find it a little warm on occasions 🙂 but well worth it
when you're a party animal, going to a different restaurant every evening, visiting nightclubs, this is not for you. If you like privacy, listening to the waves enjoying the sound of the birds, watching the humming birds zoom by and do the cooking in this large well equippedkitchen, this is totally for you. The master bed is soo comfortable, hard to get up, but with the big windows you can stay in bed longer and enjoy the view
The house was extremely comfortable and the pool was awesome. Our host Walter and Jackie go beyond being super hosts, they were awesome! They were quick to answer our questions on local restaurants, shopping and must see places around David. They provided us an English speaking taxi driver (Sammy, who we used regularly) and a great day of fishing with captain Daniel. They made our stay fantastic for 3 weeks.
The apartment is large, clean, and comfortable and the house itself is stunning. The pool is large and fun and waking up to see the bayou view everyday was beautiful. We were able to drive to nearby beaches and the entire area is phenomenal. Chester is a gem and so kind and helpful. Perfect airbnb! 100% recommend and we want to go back already.
