Exceptional property and hosts!
Family vacation to explore Panama for the first time. The house is beautiful, well appointed and just a short walk to the beach, but our favorite was definitely the pool and patio area. The one thing that stands out are the hosts of this property; they go above and beyond to make sure you have the best vacation possible. Thank you Suzy and Laurence, you are truly exceptional hosts!

This property is absolutely amazing! It is perfectly located in an exclusive luxury beach & golf resort. It has a lot of privacy and a wonderful lake view. The house is very clean, very well equipped, and in a great condition. We enjoyed our stay a lot and it was one of the best vacation homes that we have ever rented so far. I can highly recommend to book it!

Amazing stay
We had a family reunion at this beautiful place in August. 6 adults. Our stay was really comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped which was important for us since we like to cook. The athmosphere of the place is very relaxing. Our adult kids loved the private pool. The outside area has 2 large hammocks that we also really enjoyed. The house is really spacious with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, clean and tastefully decorated. Loved the place! Thank you. We will be back. :)

Beautiful and Relaxing
Suzy & Laurence's lovely home is perfectly appointed and located in a beautiful setting. Most important, however, was their easy communication style and willingness to share local knowledge and assets. They recommended a great driver for our time in Panama City, the perfect boat tour operator on the canal, and a suggested list of sites to see. While in the area of their home, they had a super helpful website app and binder with all kinds of easy to follow instructions and suggestions. When I had trouble with AVIS rental car, Suzy provided many local options, but it was the driver she recommended, Marco, who came through with a friend who was able to arrange a van for us from a small, local company that saved our trip. We stayed at the home Monday through Friday. The check-in process was very easy, as was the check-out. The area was extremely quiet during this time and we had full access to all resort amenities. With only 4 nights, we weren't able to get fully immersed, but got a wonderful taste of what the area had to offer. A quick note: Traffic to and from this area and Panama City is very unpredictable. But, Suzy and Laurence's knowledge once again saved us. When heading back to the airport on Friday, which was during the officially-cancelled Carnival weekend, they highly recommended extra drive time. GLAD WE FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE... it took us 4 hours to get to the airport; twice as long as it had taken us to get to Buenaventura. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY and THESE HOSTS! We've traveled all over the US and Europe staying at vacation homes and this was one of the top experiences and properties for us, so far. THANKS AGAIN SUZY AND LAURENCE!
