Patty’s Upscale Bay View Condo with King bed by the Amador Causeway on the Canal

###This is NOT an INSTANT BOOK property, please send us a little message to know more about who we will be hosting, composition of your party and what brings you here to us. VRBO does not give the ability for a written review only star ratings...so a little info makes us more comfortable...thank you for your understanding.

Choosing a property with “Patty’s Casitas” (we have a 1 bedroom + 1 office with Twin bed in the same building #2464014, a Studio in Casco Viejo #223384 and a 2 bedroom Loft also in the same building in Casco Viejo #338304) means a well taken care home, responsive and dedicated hosts (who are also the owners) and the possibility of a full rounded experience with our airport transfers & tours offerings.

This unique condominium is located on a little hill where you will be able to enjoy an astonishing view of Casco Viejo, the city with its skyscrapers and the Cerro Ancon!

The apartment has been fitted with beautiful crown moldings and has 10 feet’s high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows in the living-room with a great cross ventilation for the ones that like natural air.

Relax with a glass of wine on one of the buildings 2 roof top terraces from where you'll be able to enjoy the magnificent views of the Panama Canal and the Bridge of the Americas.

The condominium is surrounded by lush vegetation like palm, mango and mahogany trees and has a variety of birds...On lucky days you might even see a Toucan greeting you at your bedroom window..there is a family of 7 living on the grounds;-)

LOCATION:

It is at the beginning of the Causeway & 2 minutes away from the Bridge of the Americas, a 5 minutes taxi ride to the Albrook airport (for a quick getaway!) & to the Albrook mall - Central America’s biggest shopping mall.

It is a 5 Min's walk to one of Amador’s many marinas with the Yacht club for a relaxed lunch or evening drinks & the TGI Fridays at the Country Inn and Suites.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

High end and very safe neighborhood...conveniently located at 5 Min's taxi ride from Casco Viejo (colonial neighborhood - UNESCO World Heritage Site) and 10 - 15 Min's from down-town...you'll also be at 5 Min's walk from the ferry departing for the islands.

Amador has a beautiful and picturesque Causeway, lined with tropical palm trees, and with magnificent views of the Canal and the Panama City skyline, also home of the Marine Exhibition Center of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and soon hosting Frank Ghery’s Museum of Life.

The end of the Causeway, with its 3 little islands, offers a wide variety of restaurants, bars & cafés.

You’ll also be able to jog, cycle (2 bicycles come with the rental!) or just enjoy the views!

Looking forward to welcoming you, Patty & Rudy

Ironman Race Weekend

I was in Panama City for Ironman Panama. I wanted a place that would be convenient to the race, so that was the main reason I chose Patty’s apartment. The location was perfect and made it really easy for me. The unit was absolutely lovely, and exactly as it was advertised on VRBO. I also could not be happier with the communication with Patty and Rudy. They were so helpful, including picking me up at the airport. Patty is also very responsive. I can’t say enough good things about my stay in my experience. I will definitely be back

Laid back gem in Panama City

Comfortable little apartment in safe, quiet area. Great view of city can. You can walk along the sea and see decayed barracks formerly occupied by US troops years ago. Restaurants and two excellent museums within walking distance. Not the place if you're looking for action and night life but perfect for a relaxing stay.

Best Location in Panama and Best Hosts!

We stayed for 10 days. The apartment was extremely clean and well stocked with spices and cooking supplies (we cooked all our meals and we had all the utensils and cookware we needed) as well as ample paper and food storage products. The snacks, juice, coffee/ tea and milk were a nice touch. Shampoo and body wash as well as laundry detergent were provided. The building’s location in Amador is amazing as it provides for outstanding views in all of the desirable directions. The rooftop was our favorite spot and we spent many hours watching the ships, soccer games, birdwatching (saw many parrots) and other various local activities. We thoroughly enjoyed walking and running on the causeway and appreciated the bikes. We always felt safe and welcomed. The iguanas sat in the trees outside our windows everyday. Patty and Rudy were always a text away and answered all of our questions immediately. Thank you to Rudy for the Gatun Lake and Monkey Island tour and transport to/from the airport! They were the best VRBO hosts we’ve had yet! If we ever visit Panama again, we will definitely book this location or one of Patty's other casitas.

Wonderful Stay in Patty’s Beautiful Condo

We had the pleasure of renting Patty’s beautiful condo in the idyllic Amador area for a brief stay in Panama City in June. Not only did the condo live up to our expectations for cleanliness, convenience and comfort, but Patty and Rudy were the most gracious hosts who also provided a convenient transport option to the airport and from our earlier stay in Coronado. Rudy is also an expert on Panama and briefed us on many of the historical sites along out routes. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and more—there are even bikes provided if you would like to ride around the beautiful Amador area. We could not have made a better choice in places to stay in Panama City and would definitely love to stay here on a future visit.

A perfect apartment!

We've stayed in many places during our travels, but this apartment was exceptional and it had everything we'd hoped for and more. Patty and Rudy were excellent hosts, very accommodating and friendly, and helped make our winter getaway to Panama one we will always remember. The view from the apartment is quite beautiful during the day as well as at night. From the upstairs terrace, you have an amazing view of the huge ships working their way in and out of the Panama Canal. Watching sunsets and sunrises from there was mesmerizing. With the bikes our hosts provided, we were able to ride along the Amador Causeway every day and see the ships from a different perspective. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment. Thanks, Patty and Rudy!

Panamanian Hospitality

My wife and I really enjoyed our week long visit to Central America. Though I was bit hampered with sciatica, we made the most of it. Patti & Rudy were fantastic hosts and the place we stayed at was one of the best we have vaca'd at. Anyone coming to Panama must check this place out! We saw quite a bit during stay and look forward to a return trip sometime in the future! Great Job Guys!

Great apartment and hosts

We have stayed at vacation rentals all over the world and this is one of the best. Very clean and modern, Patti and Rudi were great hosts. Beautiful view of the city and we loved the rooftop deck. Rudy is a terrific guide who took us on three great daytrips.(and arranged our canal transit) Best way to visit Panama City.

Altos de Amador

My husband and I visited Panama in August for a little shy of 2 weeks. We had the good fortune to select Patty and Rudy's one bedroom condo in Amador. It was clear from the very beginning that we had chosen wisely. Rudy was promptly at the airport to pick us up the night we arrived. He helped us to find a place to eat even though it was late, and their gracious hospitality was extended even further. Patty had sent along some home made treats that we were grateful for the next morning. The condo was professionally/tastefully decorated and spotless. Patty made herself available throughout our stay to promptly answer every question that we had, and they were many. They even provided a cell phone that we could use locally. These two think of everything that a guest would need and want and made it so. Transportation arrangements back to the airport made by Patty were also seamless. I would certainly stay with them again, and recommend the same to family and friends.

Exceptional apartment - great hosts - exceeded expectations

The condo is very spacious, full of natural light and is tastefully decorated which makes it feel like a "home away from home." Not to mention it's a hop and skip to hotspots like Casco Viejo and the Albrook Mall. We enjoyed our time at the condo more than the the 5-star hotel we stayed at the first two nights. We wished we could have stayed longer! Rudy and Patty were very accommodating and give you all the details you need up front. If you have additional questions along the way, they reply swiftly to your inquiries/requests, which is refreshing as this is NOT typical in Panama. We certainly plan on staying there in the future. - Thanks again Patty & Rudy

A little piece of heaven.

This condo was one of four condos we rented while traveling around Panama and this one was the best and we had some good ones. The decorating was very creative and stylish (I am trying to simulate the artwork in the hall). I have never seen a condo so clean, kudos to the staff. I really liked the area because you were a short ride from anywhere or a even a beautiful walk. Great view from the terrace, great security, and Patty and Rudy were always willing to help with suggestions and directions which was priceless.

Beautifully done!

This is one of the nicer places my husband and I have stayed - very clean and attractively decorated. Sunshine floods in the large window overlooking Panama City skyscrapers. Everything works as it should. Very comfortable bed. Favourite things: bicycling along the causeway, watching the ships entering the canal. Negatives (every place has a bit of a downside): no close grocery store (although there were a couple of small ones a walk away). This apartment is on the 4th floor and there is a roof top deck on the 8th floor where one can watch the ships or enjoy the sunset.

We rented this condo for 8 days and enjoyed every day of it. Rudy and Patty were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcomed. The condo was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed plus more. We especially appreciated the mobile phone and small card we could show a taxi driver to get us back home. The location is convenient to many cultural activities, restaurants and shopping. The property description tells it all. Would we stay there again? Absolutely!

Absolutely wonderful

My husband and I spent a whole month in the condo on Amador and could not be more pleased. Rudy and Patty are wonderful, always available and responsive. A very good location if you like walking or running, which we do. Watching the ships going through the Canal from the roof top balcony was a never ending entertainment. Would definitely go back there. Easy and cheap cabs and Uber to town if you are looking for shopping. The only small drawback is having to take a cab to the grocery store.

Patty and Rudy are Wonderful!!!

My wife and I were down in Panama recently and came across Patty's Casitas and Rudy's tours and we are so glad we did!!! We couldn't decide whether to stay in Casco Viejo and reacquaint ourselves with the Old City or stay along the Amador and enjoy the ships entering and exiting the Panama Canal. So Patty allowed us to do both and what a great experience it was! Walking through the City Antigua or riding the available bicycles along the Causeway and with totally different restaurants and shops at both made us feel like it was two vacations in one! And Rudy's tours opened our eyes to so many things we would have missed. They became fast friends of ours and are welcome at our Casita in Washington State anytime!!! Thanks again my friends!!

Great unit in a great location

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Patty and Rudy's condo. The unit is very homey and well outfitted; the building has a great rooftop deck, work-out room, and garage; and the location on the west end of Panama City was ideal. We rode the provided bikes all over the area, out the Causeway and then along the waterfront into the city to Casco Viejo and downtown. Patty and Rudy were excellent hosts and very accommodating, Rudy proved to be a great tour guide, very knowledgeable on the area. One note, as shown on the map the condo is on the Amador Causeway which can get busy, so there is some road noise but nothing horrible. We'd definitely recommend this place and would stay here again on a return visit.

Believe it!

My wife and I were looking for a nice place to stay for our first trip to Panama. I wondered about all the 5 star reviews. I thought it looked too good to be true. However- from the time we were warmly greeted by Patty and Rudy at the front gate of this beautiful condo building, we quickly realized that there is a reason why people give it 5 stars. Believe all the reviews! We felt like we were already friends with Patty and Rudy that first day. At the last minute our son became available to join us. It was his birthday. An email to Patty and presto! Another bed in the living room. Perfect! The first couple of days we walked around Amador, out the causeway, visiting the Biomuseum designed by fellow Canuck Frank Gehry. It is beautiful and interesting. There is a great Italian restaurant, Al Dente, right beside it, with an upper patio overlooking the causeway, with a magnificent view of the City across the water. We walked to the last of the 3 islands where we found another gem, Buccaneros. On the way there is a third great restaurant called Mi Ranchito which we also ate at during our week long stay. If you're not up to long walks, there are the Yacht club and TGI Fridays only a block away! We were wondering why we heard so many horns honking at us as we walked. These were taxis inquiring whether we wanted a ride. They are everywhere! We used them often. Just ask " how much?" We were surprised at how inexpensive they are. To the end of the causeway, which is about an hour's walk, taxi fare was $3.50! Not many of the drivers spoke more than a few words of English but we only spoke a few words of Spanish so we just said "puquito ", (which I don't think is even a word), and we would all have a great laugh and figure out where we were going. It was fun. All the drivers we met tried hard to understand us and were very accommodating. One thing is true though, we were down by the hotel where Friday's is and the taxis there wanted $10 for the trip the ones on the road in front of the condo wanted $3.50 for! Later in the week we went on 2 tours with Rudy. He is a real pro. He know almost everything about the area and on one trip he took us up a jungle river to meet and eat with an ancient native tribe of Embera. It was amazing! And in case you're wondering, we saw NO mosquitos, even in the jungle. I could write a book but I'm running out of characters. I strongly recommend Patty and Rudy for your trip to Panama. They'll make it special!

Beautiful High Rise Condo

After over a week on a sailboat, we checked into the Amador Causeway apartment - immediate feeling of being pampered. Beautifully decorated and a gorgeous city view, we felt spoiled. We rode bikes, provided by Patty, down the causeway. We went to the Museum, within walking distance. We were so tired we picked up food at TGIF and ate in the apartment. We happened to be there over New Years and got to watch some of the spectacular fireworks out our windows. Patty was so flexible with our time at the apartment, she had another couple that had to cancel and worked with us and our time schedule. She works hard to make your stay perfect. We also spent a day with her husband Rudy, on one of his tours and explored a native village. We walked with the medicine man, ate the most delicious fresh fish and watched the natives dance - so delightful!

Hasta Pronto!!! Your hosts: Patty & Rudy

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this property due to its great location and amazing views. Another reason is that Rudy used to come here as a child when it used to be part of the Canal zone in the days when the Americans were operating the Canal. This particular area was where American generals once inhabited their majestic homes…some have been renovated & some were replaced with low rise condominiums – no more than 7 floors…making this area very exclusive with only a handful of them.

What makes this property unique

The views, the lush surroundings & riding the bicycles on the Causeway that are provided with the rental!
