The location, house, views and owners were all amazing. Literally can’t think of a single negative comment to say

Rafael’s house is somehow nicer than it looks in the pictures, and Rafael himself is a real gentleman. Everything was clean, and the view from the patio is a dream. Between the pool and beach access, there wasn’t much reason to leave except for good. Speaking of food, the kitchen is top notch and well stocked. I would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Rafael and Eda’s home. The property was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and the views were absolutely stunning. Waking up to the ocean and enjoying the scenery throughout the day made this a truly special place to stay. The home itself is beautiful, comfortable, and well equipped. Rafael and Eda were fantastic hosts friendly, welcoming, and always available when we had questions. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything easy and stress free. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and attentive hosts, we highly recommend this property. We would gladly stay here again.

Sand Dollar Villa was wonderful! The views and pool are absolutely incredible. We stayed with our toddler and she liked it more then us! They even had toys for little ones.

Rafa and Eda were kind, generous and helpful hosts. The views from the house were amazing from sunrise to sunset. Being able to walk down to pretty much a private beach was fantastic. Low tide/high tide contrast was fascinating. Private, quiet and beautiful stay in a little paradise, highly recommend and worth the drive.

Raphael is a good host—attentive, responsive, and supportive whenever needed. The property is nice, well-equipped, and comfortable, and it’s very close to the beach (though access requires stairs and is not direct). However, there are a few important points to consider. One of the four bedrooms is separate from the main house, in what يبدو like a former service room in the patio—smaller and less comfortable. Also, the property is not fully private, as Raphael and his wife live about 30 feet away in a nearby unit. During our stay, staff entered the property while we were out (e.g., for pool cleaning), and we noticed things like the AC being turned off. Combined with multiple instructions about limiting electricity use, this created a sense of being monitored rather than having full privacy. Overall, while the location is good, the experience may not suit those looking for a fully private stay.

My family and I really enjoyed this beautiful home and Edna and Rafael were terrific hosts. You absolutely cannot get a better view and location than here! The pool was amazing, the beach, the home--all of it was wonderful. We highly recommend, especially if you want to treat someone to a very special weekend or vacation.

There are not enough letters available in this review box. My wife and I have traveled a lot but I have never had a better experience. And that is because of Eda and Rafael. They were so kind and willing to help. From helping me retrieve my backpack that I left in Panama City airport to setting us up in restaurants and giving us the best advice on tour operators. The house itself looks even better than the photos online and the view is unmatched in Playa Hermosa. We truly had a hard time leaving this morning as it felt like we were leaving family behind.

This was our second time staying with Rafael and Eda. We love this property and always leave refreshed. The beach is wonderful and the house is well equipped. Highly recommend staying here for close access to Boca Chica and a relaxing time with family and friends. 😀

The house is amazing. The place is very quiet and isolated because it is at the very end of the road in a private property. The view, as you can imagine (see photos) is amazing. And the place has all the amenities you'll need, you'll feel right at home. Rafael and Ada are adorable and exude kindness. They gave us valuable advice and addresses: boat ride with dolphins and buoy towed in the bay at sunset with Martin, kayak outing in the mangrove with Sue and Murph, fishing shops, restaurants and good addresses (goat cheese making) in Boquete etc… It's a big plus when you don't know the area. I would recommend this place, even though I would like this little gem to remain a secret 😉
