The Space
This modern tropical home features an open-concept design and is situated on a 5-acre finca filled with tropical trees, birds, and well-maintained grounds. Located in the hills of Caceres, it offers a peaceful retreat just 20 minutes from the bustle of Panama City, Panama.
Guests have access to the entire 2,000 square foot house and a private, unfenced pool adjacent to the back patio. The central living area is open-concept with screened metal doors that fully open to a furnished outdoor patio, outdoor kitchen, and pool. While the main living space does not have air conditioning, each of the four bedrooms is equipped with its own split AC unit.
The home includes:
- High-speed Wi-Fi

The house comfortably accommodates up to nine guests on the main floor and includes a sitting area in the upstairs loft.
Location
The property is located in a typical Panamanian village just outside Panama City, at the junction of Freeways 1 and 4. It is situated in the first town beyond the Panama Canal watershed jungle area, which is preserved for water capture.
Panama is currently developing an above-ground rail metro system, expected to connect this area to the city and airport by 2026, along with a new freeway system scheduled for completion in 2025. Due to ongoing construction and common traffic congestion in Central America, avoiding rush hour is recommended.
Guests will experience authentic Latin neighborhood life, including local baseball games on weekends, occasional fireworks, and daily visits from vendors selling bread and fruit.

WARNING! Only stay here if you want to live in paradise and be treated like literal royalty!! Sandra was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful even weeks before we arrived. Rosy the housekeeper was so kind and sweet and even spent time showing our kids around the property and introducing them to the animals. Jonny, who Sandra also put us in touch with, was very reliable and responsive transportation and an excellent tour guide. He really went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable. The house was spacious, had everything we needed, and was cleaned by Rosy almost daily. The property the house is on is UNREAL. For one full day of our trip we just explored the property and relaxed in the pool. It was a dream. We are so grateful to have spent a week in this tropical haven.

We really enjoyed our stay. Sandra communicated very well and Rosy is fantastic, she took such great care of us. The grounds are amazing, the Finka is beautiful and just like on the pictures. We had a lot of fun on the pickleball court and in the pool. Would highly recommend, it exceeded our expectations!

We had such an easy, relaxing stay and would 100% come back. The property is huge, so everyone had plenty of space to spread out and there was always something to do. Our boys lived on the pool + pickleball courts. We also had massages on the yoga platform overlooking the view, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Rosy made the experience even better. She cooked us incredible dinners, helped with our laundry, and took so much off our plate. It honestly felt like being at a boutique resort. The house itself was fantastic. It was always clean, the bedroom A/C worked perfectly, the bathrooms were excellent with great water pressure, the Wi Fi was fast and reliable. We also loved the fresh fruit picked right from the property. Such a thoughtful touch. The only thing I’d mention for future guests is that while the property isn’t actually far from the city, traffic can easily make the drive close to an hour depending we would stay here again in a heartbeat

Our stay was amazing. We had a group of 9. 5 adults and 4 kids for our family vacation. The stay was amazing. Sandra communicated well. All the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The kids loved the pool and loft area. They also enjoyed the basketball court and rock climbing area. The views were immaculate! The rooms were spacious. AC in each room! I would recommend for any family! Sandra even made us some bread and a passion fruit cheesecake that was AMAZing!!!

Typically, you have to be skeptical of Airbnb reviews. Not here. Literally every good thing that was mentioned by previous renters was true. The home has everything you’d need and more. Plenty of places to spend time together (pickle ball, bocce, pool) or apart (hammock on yoga platform, outdoor porches, upstairs loft). We felt at home and comfortable from the first moment. Rosy was so kind and helpful. We used Jonny for transport and tours and he was friendly and knowledgeable. Sandra was always generous with her time when I had questions, going above and beyond what I expected. If you stay here, you will not regret it.

Truly an oasis! What a beautiful home with an amazing property. The property has so much to offer from a swimming pool, a chicken coop with fresh eggs, pickleball, basketball, a rock climbing wall to a yoga platform overlooking the property. If you enjoy cooking there is a newly remodeled kitchen inside or an outside kitchen with a charcoal gill or a cook top stove. If you don’t enjoy cooking, Rosey, the housekeeper will cooked you a huge and delicious Panamanian meal for a small additional cost. We truly enjoyed our stay and Sandra was warm and inviting. The property is gated and extremely safe. We would definitely stay here again. You won’t be disappointed!

Sandra’s place was amazing! Rosie was great! She did our laundry, made me a birthday cake and was such an amazing energy to be around. Sandra stopped by and spoke with us and it was amazing to meet her. I would reccomend this place to anyone! Don’t hesitate to book! JUST DO IT, ITS WORTH IT

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sandra's property. For our group of two kids and three adults, it was an absolutely perfect landing place. My daughters loved the pool, all the animals and the pickle ball court! Their grandma, who is an avid bird-watcher, was in bird heaven. So many different kinds of birds to be spotted! I was so happy doing yoga on the deck every morning, and my husband loved the outdoor kitchen. This location also provides easy access to Panama City and Gamboa to do the monkey island tour (a real highlight for our family). Finally, Sandra and Rosy were so helpful and warm. We will be back for sure!
