Photos and Description of the Playa Palmar vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 7 (sofa-bed in 3rd bdrm)

An exquisite property on a private road NOT part of a development or multi-home estate. Privacy is important to us. A traditional house entirely remodeled, new roof, new tiles, new floors, new walls, new bathrooms and efficient air conditioning--situated in an exquisite tropical garden and lawn with palm trees and a giant panama tree,100 feet of balcony on a beach, tropical birds sip at our crystal-clear pool, an iguana strolls across now and then.. All the rooms with great window-doors look out onto the ocean, the beach in front is lovely and smooth as silk, free of the rock barrier common in this area, and is empty most of the time-on, accessible through our beachgate a dozen steps down.. We have installed a deep well so that house and garden are always supplied with fresh water and not dependent on town supply pipes. New kitchen appliances, excellent wireless. Trust-worthy couple maintains the property twice a week. ALL your correspondence addressed SOLELY to email on file.

Why the Owner Chose Playa El Palmar: Peace, swimming in wonderfully warm (but not too warm!) water, surfing waves- but not too big! perfect (dry! almost mosquito-free!) weather, unbelievable view (you have to see it to believe it! the entire ocean and cliffs on each side).

The Unique Benefits of this House: We buy fish at a fishermen's beach--when the fishermen come up from their boats, buying directly from the fishermen-- five minutes drive from our home, as well as shrimp and lobster; we have mango trees on the property. We have peace and pure pure air.

Notes:
We have the great good fortune of almost two kilometer of beautiful beach in front of our property. This is not common at all- at a kilometer to the left and a kilometer to the right the beaches are packed with rocks and unwalkable and unswimmable unless the tide is really high! It should also be noted that the 40 or so kilometers of the area on the pacific whre it is situatd is known as the 'arco seco' , the dry arc, ie when it is pouring in Panama City there is just a shower in El Palmar. Also, no mosquitos! very few insects (abundance of birds drawn by our little swimming pool); as soon as you go back into the country, away from the ocean front there are plenty of noisome insects, but none here. Even in the rainy season, all we get is a half hour or so of rain, then sunshine again.

This is a BEACH HOUSE you'll not want to pass up. This house is so very open to the sea and the sounds of the pounding surf. A stairway from the yard leads you to treasures of sea shells, surfers and peaceful tide pools. When the beach gets too hot, a very clean swimming pool awaits you!! A very private setting, protected on all sides with fence and folage. The gardens are gorgeous. All the amenities of home can be found here. The grocery in Coronado will yeild any groceries/beverages a heart could wish for. There is a Taxi service for those without a car. The hammock calls your name in the lazy afternoon sun. There always seemed to be a breeze and there was not ONE BUG that bothered us. We did have a friendly CRAB that visited us on occasion. A great location for a quick visit to El Valle de Anton and the awesome Artisian Market there on Sundays. I will be returning next year!!! There are two surf schools nearby. Watching the surfers was a bonus!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Playa El Palmar beach house and would highly recommended it to others seeking some serious down time. Facing the ocean, we fell asleep each night with the sound of the waves rolling in and out. The openness of the place and abundant wild life made you feel like you were living in an exotic beach hut.

Everything was to our expectations including the location (right on the beach) and actual appearance of the property as reflected in the website images. It was well maintained by a staff of two who came twice a week. The full functioning kitchen allowed us to cook many of our meals and save a great deal of money, despite the fact there were three restaurants within walking distance that served desayuno, almuerzo, and cena.

El Palmar is a surfing beach and if you like to surf or watch surfing this is the beach to visit on the weekends. During the week, we had the beach all to ourselves and enjoyed early morning and late night beach walks without a soul in sight.

Great stay and we hope to return in the future.

My husband is a surfer so. This house was a great central location to a bunch of breaks. Also we went with our one year old and we had all the comforts of home. We were able to hang out by the pool while she napped and enjoyed the beach all day. We could also fish out front in the evening when the tide came up and catch little catfish. We had a great time and the house gave us an opportunity to explore the area.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for five days and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, modern and exactly as shown in the photos. The beach was nearly private during the weekdays, busy on the weekends and great for surfing and sunbathing. There was a nearby beach where fishmen came and went, allowing you to purchase fresh fish for dinner. We barbequed nearly everynight. There is a grocery store and a few resturants in the area.
The house is huge and would be great for a larger group or family.
The owners of the property were very responsive to emails and questions, and even called us while we were at the house to help with some directions.

Beautiful house in Panama..great peaceful vacation

We just left this beautiful house early this morning after staying a week in Panama. We had three teenagers with us who spent their days at the surf school next door as well as body surfing and relaxing in the pool overlooking the beach. That left my husband and I time to read, sunbathe, relax, and enjoy this peaceful property. Playa Palmar is an easy location to use as a launch point to explore Panama City, the Canal, and National parks like Gamboa and snorkeling sites like Portabello. There is easy access to groceries, pharmacies, healthcare and shopping in nearby San Carlo and Coronado. Our laptops worked perfectly and I had a great time reading the owner's book about her life in Europe in the sixties (and to present) and the impact of the art world on modern culture in those years. The owners called us several times to be sure everything was going smoothly for us. The caretakers Ricardo and Pola helped us out out with figuring out the satellite TV and finding bandages and medicines when my son got a pretty good cut while surfing. They kept the property up beautifully. I would definitely recommend this property to just about anyone looking to explore Panama and enjoy and peaceful relaxing vacation. We hope to return soon to continue to explore Panama's beauty. Thank you for a great vacation.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review - it makes us very happy when our guests enjoy the property as much as we do.
