Vacation rentals in Cerro Viejo

Usually a review tells you, how nice everything was, but this time it is different. Due to the political situation in Panama, we weren‘t able to travel to our booked accommodation. Diana and all people involved tried to find a solution, to get us there. After several days, we had to accept, it‘s not possible. During all those days, the host where nice, helpful and pro active. But even more important, when we figured out, we don‘t get there, we got our money back, without any discussion. By far, this is not standard. So, Diana and all others around are not only nice, they are also reliable. I give 11 points, out of 10 and 100% recommendation and a big thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Sand Dollar Villa in Boca Chica, Panama. The location was peaceful, quiet, and truly tranquil. It was exactly what we were looking for. Mornings and evenings on the patio offered stunning views and a serene atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to have howler monkeys visit frequently, gracing the nearby trees with their presence. Ralph and Eda were amazing hosts. They were always respectful of our privacy, yet quick to respond with helpful recommendations and suggestions whenever we had a question. Their thoughtful balance of attentiveness and space made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything about our visit was perfect, and we sincerely hope to return in the future. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place with us!

The pictures on this listing do not do the unit justice, it is spectacular and the ocean views are amazing. The house is fully kitted with everything you could need. We spent our days in the sea and reading. What a wonderful relaxing place. Perfect for a family holiday. We had a great time.

Wanted a place near a not crowded beach to spend a week of quality time with the family. Richard’s place was right on target. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but Richard’s lengthy description was spot on in accuracy. He accurately described the lack of nearby places to get groceries and the minimal number of restaurants in the vicinity. Thanks to his info, we easily found a major grocery in route and stocked up on what we would need for the week. Upon arrival, Raphael met us and showed us how to find everything in the well equipped unit and also gave us info on what restaurants were in reasonable driving distance. The only issue of note was the difficulty in regulating the shower temperature, which we learned was a neighborhood issue. In summary, we loved the place - relaxing in the pool, walking the beach, and the warm ocean. Lobster Cove is pretty shallow,so not for surfing or snorkeling, but just fine for us.

Joanna was an excellent host, and Richard, who meets you at the house, was wonderful, helpful and kind. We had a few little issues that were proactively dealt with, and whenever we needed advice, Joanna and Richard were always quick to respond. The house is not luxurious and doesn't pretend to be, but it's great value for money given the exceptional location. It's just you, the spectacular views, and your own private beach, and the beach is as close to paradise as I've ever been! Oh, and the Howler Monkeys and lots of different kinds of birds make it a nature lover's perfect retreat. An SUV to reach the house is definitely necessary, but the road/track is fine if treated with patience. The kayaks are great fun. We loved beachcombing at low tide, and watching the hermit crabs go about their daily life. Watching the sun go down was spectacular from the veranda, and enjoying the night sky was a treat too. All in all we loved our stay here, and we definitely hope to return in future.

Our stay was very nice and peaceful. The surroundings are beautiful in a quiet area. Monkeys and birds everywhere. 10 minute drive to the private Rincon beach (our favorite) with many other beaches in the surrounding area. 15 minute drive to Boca Chica town. The Casita is perfect for a tranquil escape and has all that you need. Clean, cute, and comfortable. Jenni and her husband are excellent hosts, very friendly and warm people. They let us borrow surf boards and boogie boards to play with at the beach. Highly recommend!

Muy bonito todo , excelente estancia, la pase se maravilla junto a mi Esposa nos desconectamos por completo que era el motivo por el cual queríamos y tener un ambiente super relajante y hermoso... Muy atentos y serviciales, encantado del lugar lleno de muchos pajaritos y hermosa naturaleza

Just returned from an incredible stay at Rafael’s beautiful beachfront home in Las Lajas, where we gathered to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was perfect for our family—spacious, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Four of the five bedrooms had their own private bathrooms, making it easy for everyone to have their own space. The master bath was a dream with its Jacuzzi tub and separate shower, another had a soaking tub and rain shower, and the others featured spa-like rain showers. We enjoyed slow mornings with ocean views, meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and evenings by the pool. Rafael was a wonderful host—responsive and kind. This home helped us create memories we’ll never forget.

Our family absolutely loved our stay at Casa Linda. This place was exactly what we were looking for- beautiful setting along a sparsely populated beach, modern accommodations, and proximity to Boca Chica for access to world class fishing. Our host Maria was very kind and responsive. We were able to check-in a bit early which was wonderful and when we ran out of gas for stove/grill, Maria was quick to get us set back up again. We had a toddler with us so the crib, shallow end of the pool, and gentle/warm ocean were fantastic features. I would 100% recommend and we will be back if we have the opportunity!
