"If enjoy and appreciate nature this is a wonderful place. You have all the basics necessary for unforgettable stay. The local people are very nice and welcoming. The see is magnificent.! "

"Jim was a great host from the start. Super friendly, accomidating, always ready to give recommendations, arrange anything I needed. Jim is just a great host and a lovely guy. The place itself is in a beautiful remote location right on the sea front with its own pier. The house is just outside of the small town of Jose del Mar. It can be quite the adventure to find the first time and would recommend a 4x4 if driving. But Jim will happily guide you in. The nearest mini supermarket is a 20-30 minute drive away, with a great restaurant (Panamarina) only 15 mins by car. The place is comfortable, clean and well furnished. The wifi reliable which is incredible given the location. The only small thing is its worth giving the pans and plates a quick clean before cooking. In summary, amazing host, lovely place and a great remote escape into nature."

"Excellent location, right next to the sea!"

"A nice house with ocean view was proposed. We got a house with a huge orange wall right in front of the sea. No view. House was not clean. More than half of the lightbulbs were not working. Stove and oven not working. Could not open the bedroom access to the balcony, door was in bad shape and full of crap. Not at all what we have paid for. Owner should be honest and tell remote his house with the ugly wall blocking the view. We were stolen of our few first days of vacation. We had to go somewhere else !! This house should be off the market."

"The furnishings are worn. The second bedroom is only suitable for small children. The house is only a few metres from a busy main road with noisy traffic. The beach is unattractive. The water is too shallow for swimming. And the house is NOT in the “historic centre” of Portobelo, which is several kilometres away and consists of the ruins of a fort and a church. We were so disappointed we left after one night."
