Refreshing
Posted Jul. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayGreat location right on the beach.
I enjoyed everything about the place except for the fact that the entire building was without gas the entire time I was there. There was some sort of inspection that was going on and it wasn’t completed when I was there. This meant I had no hot water and no stove. I usually cook on my trips so I ended up having to eat out exclusively. Other than that, I enjoyed the condo a lot.

Overall very nice but unexpected view
Posted Jul. 21, 2023 on HomeAwayOverall a very nice and clean unit!
Excellent detailed and rapid communication from and with the owner. 8 pages of notes and tips about the unit and surrounding area!
The owners go above and beyond in providing items such as towels, kitchen utensils, soap, etc. even including a cell phone! When the Wi-Fi password didn’t work we sent an email to the owner who responded within minutes and fixed the issue (minor password typo)… the fast communication made this a non-event.
Great location for exploring the area. We didn’t use the pool or common area, although they both looked very nice. Very nice walk on the beach. Take care as the black sand gets very hot in the sun!
The was a no gas due to a required safety inspection, so no hot water, no stove/oven, and no dryer. The owners were notified a couple weeks prior to our visit and they called to inform us. We used the provided gas grill to cook. It might have been nice to receive a bit of a discount or partial refund but the situation was out of their control.
1 small power outage for about 15 min… this is expected in Panama and was not an issue.
An unexpected item was the view from the balcony and master bedroom. The adjacent building is located very close to the unit and directly between it and the beach, blocking about 80% of the view. I wish this was included in the owners description or that there were better pictures showing the adjacent building in the posting.

A beautiful oasis
Posted Apr. 29, 2019 on HomeAwayWe arrived at Tom and Karen’s condo on April 7th 2019 and stayed in their well-appointed condo for 3 wonderful weeks. Our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren joined us for one week and there was more than ample room. The condo was everything that Tom and Karen said it would be and more. The condo is beautifully decorated with local Indigenous art. All the appliances worked perfectly. Made use of all the amenities of the building, including fitness room, great pool overlooking the ocean and, yes, even an elevator to bring you to the beautiful black sand beach that sparkles like diamonds. It provided hours of fun for our granddaughter who collected shells.
You can hear the sound of the waves throughout the condo. We literally took all our meals outside on the balcony. The views are breathtaking and always a nice breeze from the ocean to make al fresco dining comfortable. The BBQ was much appreciated.
Great local restaurants and convenience stores at walking distance. Quite a great selection of supermarkets and restaurants 10 minutes away by car in Coronado, including Reba Smith a supermarket who carries specialty items for diabetics and celiac clients.
Tom and Karen had recommended a driver to bring us to and from the airport, Byron Moscoso. He is a kind and well-versed chauffeur that speaks English very well and his passionate about his beautiful country. He took us as well for a one day excursion to the historic Old City of Panama and Miraflores.
We rented a car from Coronado Car Rentals at Tom’s recommendation. It worked out beautifully and strongly recommend it. The family excursion to El Valle was definitely a highlight and is less than 1 hour by car from the condo. The Rio Hato fish market is a great place to go to buy fresh fish and seafood and local produce. Very inexpensive.
From the moment we booked the condo back in June 2018, Tom and Karen responded quickly to all our queries. We have stayed in many VRBO properties in Europe and Mexico, and this one is definitely among the best. Thanks Tom and Karen for everything. Michel Smith and Danielle Martel

It is so great when guests tell future guests all of the wonderful experiences and people that you will encounter with your stay in Panama. We work hard to be sure that all of our guests enjoy the same amenities that we have while we are in Panama and so it makes all of hard work worthwhile. It makes it easier for us to explain all of the amenities and locations that are available in Panama. Also the people of Panama are very warm and welcoming. Tom and Karen
