VILLA YOLO, Walk To Town
We loved staying at Rich & Susan's YOLO home in Valle Escondido. It was so wonderful to have Rich offer to pick us up at our hotel in Boquete and take us to the Airbnb. He also gave us a ride to pick up our rental car for the week. Great hospitality! The home is lovely and so comfortable with a king size bed and western plumbing and water. The views off the balcony are so beautiful and we spent most of our time at the home outside enjoying the views, flowers, and birds. The temperatures in Boquete are so perfect to have the windows open day and night. Rich & Susan have a really good recommendation book put together for things to do and restaurants. All in all, we highly recommend their place to stay!

Entire Villa with pool in front of beach!
Really well cared for space that is private despite the host family onsite. Hosts were so gracious and able to coordinate outings directly, not with an outside company so everything was private for our family and catered to incredibly. We opted to have the hosta cook for us a couple evenings and it was well worth it. Great food, far more than needed. Luis and Yanet felt like family and took care of us like we were.

Beach Front Paradise!
This place was a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the fresh ocean air and go for quiet walks on the beach. Very quiet, secluded. The host is wonderful and will help with any questions - and went out of his way to help our son who received a jellyfish sting.

On the Beach Villa in Boca Chica!
Our third stay and still in love! We keep coming back because the ocean view is unbeatable, the home is cozy and clean, and the area is peaceful and perfect. A big thank-you to the hosts, who are always so kind and quick to help with any questions or concerns. Can’t wait to return again!

4-Bedroom Costa Blanca Golf & Beach Villa
Excellent service, the house fulfilled what it promised and offered, and the hosts were very friendly and flexible with everything we requested. Thank you very much for everything, Stephen and Anne.

Nice house with pool steps to the beach
It was an excellent stay. Very kind, the interior of the house is perfect, the pool is very nice. We went to work in Capira and this place was our resting place for those 2 days, it was perfect.

Surf Relax Play Pacific Ocean View Villa
We booked the villa for one night. The villa became available before our scheduled check-in time, which was a pleasant surprise. The pool area was nice, and there were plenty of available sun loungers at the beach too. We never did any cooking, but the villa seemed to have the basic equipment needed. Important details were communicated via automated messages over airbnb. Overall, a good experience. We would return again.

Beach House with Pool/Gazebo in Punta Chame!
Villa Valentina is beautiful and is a place to rest, enjoy and relax! It's ideal To go with family and children, as the facilities are made for them to enjoy, especially the pool!!! This is my second time and I would definitely come back!

Earth House Pedasi Experience
This is an amazing place and we would definitely book again. Quietly located, it is nicely designed, has a big bed, amazing bathroom and well equipped kitchen with quality utensils. We had everything we needed for a quiet and wonderful stay.

Aqeel cabin in the nature
My stay at this cabin was excellent. It is located in the middle of nature, in a quiet and clear environment, ideal for disconnecting and relaxing. The cabin was impeccable: everything was very clean, tidy and well-maintained. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, including seasonings and coffee, which was a great touch. The beds were very comfortable, perfectly clean and well located, with a beautiful view.

Rustic cottage-Ocean views/walk to surfing/Jungle
The home is a dream !!! It is located in a magnificent garden and is still only 1 min walk from the sea. The accommodation is very large, quiet and well equipped. There are, for example, kayaks, children's sand toys, yoga mats, umbrellas (which was quite practical), many games and books, even Lego, washing machine, dryer (which was also quite practical😉) and the kitchen really has everything you need. There are also great gadgets, such as wooden tables and benches that you can fold away. So they don't take up space inside, but when it rains and you need space, you quickly have a large dining table... etc... Steve is a great host, welcomed us and gave us many tips, phone numbers and recommendations. We also did a half-day private tour to various destinations with an acquaintance of his, which we can 100% recommend! Thanks again for everything!!! I hope we can come back someday. Greetings to Niña...

Cozy open space, unique jungle views, river access
This home was one of my favorites I’ve been to. The open air concept was so unique. My husband and I loved relaxing on the hammocks listening to the sounds of the rainforest surrounding us. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the week stay. Mosh was great and very responsive. He showed us around the home when we got there and even made suggestions on stuff to do in the area. The people from the community were very friendly and welcoming and we loved playing with the local pups in the area. This is the place that you want to be if you love and appreciate nature and are looking to relax and unwind. We also loved hiking to the river and waterfalls.

Full apartment in Panama
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were spacious and secure, with security personnel always visible. The surrounding area was delightful to explore, with everything conveniently located within a short distance. I wholeheartedly recommend this location.

Santa Fe villa with a espectacular view
Ongoing roadworks except for Sunday 1000 ft away during my stay. Resurfacing. Building on the property a structure next to the Casita I occupied but not ongoing during my stay. Nice bedding, towels and bright sunny kitchen. Comfortable and tasteful.

Cocovivo Mangrove Treehouse
My goal was to sit on an island and become one with the sloths. I achieved that goal with my stay here. The entire staff is wonderful – Leo and Esther and especially Andrea. Juan and Sara helped organize my stay and I cannot thank them enough!

Beautiful Eco House in Panama
The house is located in beautiful surroundings. One can feel very close to nature all the time. Unique experience. Dogs are very friendly, we felt very safe having them around.

oceanfront home villa in malibu
Beautiful home! Definitely a great place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The host was very responsive and friendly to any questions we had.

Comfortable, modern house - breathtaking sea view
Loved our stay at El nido del toucan! Gisela and Guido are so friendly and they live in literal paradise. The house was super comfortable and we had everything we needed. The dip in the pool was much welcome in the heat, the closest beach is a short 15 min walk from the place and is a true hidden gem. Gisela had recommendations and useful tips, we had good conversations and she has a great sense of humor. Everything was exactly was we needed for a restful stay. I already recommended to friends and family. Merci Gisela et Guido!

Spacious Home with Lovely Pool, 2bdrm
I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s around the world, my experience staying at Alexandra’s house was one of the very best! First, the house, large & lovely! Kitchen is amazing…I wish I had a kitchen that large and well laid out! Huge bedrooms, very comfortable beds! The pool!!!- heaven!! Perfect location—-close to everything, but tucked away in a peaceful, quiet setting. Best part the host! super accommodating, available, and able to provide every bit of information we inquired about. We have a new friend in Panama! We will be back! Thank you Alexandra!!!

Torio Creative Reatreat Immersed in Forest
The two greatest things about Fernanda’s place are Fernanda and Torio. Fernanda is a wonderful host; responsive, proactive and updated us with timely opportunities for eating out and exploring. She had fresh coconuts waiting for us and a bbq that easily handled two big racks of baby back ribs and shrimp. Both delightful as there is not a great diversity of good/fun places to eat, although next time we may bring less of our own food and try more fondas. Torio maintains much of its agricultural/fishing culture and thus was a delightful respite from places like Playa Venado and other regions of Panama that have lost some of their earlier charm for us. So The combination of Fernanda and Torio makes for a solid 5 plus stars.

Casa Samambaia - sea view tropical paradise w pool
Nice but in rainy season can’t use the pool as too many insects

New house! 5 min from David on the Boquete highway
Jeff was fantastic. From guiding me from the airport in a pouring rain to his many tips on local treasures, Jeff was right there with me all of the way. My trip was significantly enhanced by Jeff penchant for a good experience for his guests. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

The Dream of Playa Coronado
This was the best stay I have had in Panama, the house is amazing. For a weekend getaway it was perfect. The yard is amazing, great pool, great wet bar and perfect barbecue area. Inside the house is well decorated, everything feels new, comfortable beds, lots of towels, they provided plenty of soap, shampoos and other essentials. It has the cooking utensils and equipment you could want and more. It was so comfortable we didn’t leave for the 3 days we were there. You could easily feel comfortable and right at home for weeks here. If you are staying in the area you will not be disappointed here. If i could give more than 5 stars I would. We absolutely loved our stay. Thank you again Jacqueline, you were an amazing host!

MoMa Malibu, Beach front
Our stay at this beach house was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home thanks to the warmth and attention to detail that can be seen in every corner. The location is unbeatable, with the relaxing sound of the waves as a constant soundtrack and the beach just a few steps away. We really enjoyed the sunsets from the pool. The house was spotless, very nicely appointed and tastefully decorated. Definitely an unforgettable vacation. Thank you so much for sharing this paradise with us!"
Your guide to Panama
All About Panama
A narrow isthmus on the southern tip of Central America, Panama is the cultural gateway to South America and the geographical gateway between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Panama City, its stunning capital city, juxtaposes old-quarter Casco Viejo against the shiny, soaring skyscrapers of the modern district — all surrounded by rolling green hills and vast blue ocean studded with tiny islands. The Metropolitan Natural Park, a wildlife refuge threaded through with hiking trails, is just 10 minutes away from downtown. And Taboga Island, a volcanic enclave featuring a rich array of plants as well as white-sand beaches, is easily reachable via a 30-minute ferry ride.
The terrain rises dramatically from white-sand Caribbean beaches to lush mountain jungles. Near the top of the country, altitude-wise, you’ll find Boquete, home to world-renowned coffee plantations, and the Quetzal Trail, one of Panama’s most scenic hiking trails. Leaving from Volcan Baru National Park, it passes through the Talamanca Mountain Range, where you’ll discover rare tropical wildlife including spider monkeys, tapir, and brightly colored frogs.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Panama
The lovely tropical climate makes the prospect of securing a vacation rental in Panama appealing all year long. The drier winter months are ideal for hitting the country’s hiking trails or visiting the beaches. Many of the country’s most significant religious festivals, including Carnaval and Semana Santa (Holy Week), occur in March and April. You’ll want to keep this in mind when booking your Panama house rental if you are headed to a city that hosts a big celebration.
Once Panama’s rainy season starts in May, the sunshine is interrupted with short bursts of heavy rain. It is also usually the quietest time of year for tourism, and you may find yourself alone in the country’s national parks or beaches. That all changes, of course, after the rainy season finishes in November and gorgeous, sunny weather returns.
Top things to do in Panama
Casco Viejo
As the oldest part of Panama City, settled in 1673, Casco Viejo is filled with beautifully restored French and Spanish-style buildings, with a touch of art deco flair. As you stroll down the cobblestone streets, past pastel-colored buildings housing trendy restaurants, upscale bars, and inviting coffee shops, time seems to shimmer between the 19th and 21st centuries. Explore the neighborhood during the day; return after dark for its lively nightlife.
Panama Canal
When the 51-mile Panama Canal opened in 1914, it provided a waterway through Central America and reduced the traveling distance between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean by 8,000 miles. The impact that this had on global commerce is hard to underestimate. The Pacific mouth of the canal is 26 miles outside Panama City, making it easy to visit this engineering marvel and watch as enormous ships rise and descend through a series of locks.
Bocas Del Toro
Lying close to the border of Costa Rica, this collection of islands is Panama's most popular beach destination. Largely undeveloped, the islands are home to lush tropical rainforest. Great snorkeling and diving opportunities abound in the Isla Bastimentos National Park, which is home to a wide variety of Caribbean coral species as well as (gentle) nurse sharks, crab, and stingrays.
