About this property

Beachfront Property with Pool Is Your Own Piece of Paradise

The property is almost a hectare (around 2.25 acres) and features: a main house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, porch, patio, and two dining tables. The pool has two separate living areas, a shaded one and a deck up front. A separate cottage (honeymoon suite) has a king-size bed, a beautiful half-open bathroom and private terrace. There are a trampoline and a zip-line for the kids in backyard, as well as plenty of board games. Hi-speed WiFi throughout the property and cable TV in the living room (main house). Sleeps 10 people max.

A rancho (straw hut) has a dining table and plenty of hammocks and couches with great views of the beach. The deck/pool has an unimpeded, 180-degree view of the ocean, with outdoor furniture, including tanning chairs. A small house for the handyman/gardener is next to the entrance to the property.

The experience is one of beauty, peace, and tranquility. With no immediate neighbors, the place is private and secluded. At night you hear nothing but crickets and crashing waves, and when the sky is clear it fills up with stars. The houses and hut have a rustic feel with modern convenience.

Lorenzo, the caretaker/cook comes in everyday from 8 am to around 3 pm (after lunch). He does all the housekeeping and cooks breakfast and lunch. He doesn't speak English well but simple Spanish will suffice (and now he's a master with the translation app). He's hardworking, extremely nice, and has plenty of experience with foreign guests.

The beach is a famous surfing destination, yet parts of it have no or small waves were kids and less experienced swimmers can enjoy the ocean. A small river meets the ocean right in front of the house, giving the place an added water experience.

Just 2 Km away on the Panamerican Highway is Coronado, which offers restaurants, supermarkets, specialty food stores, shopping centers, drugstores, banks, a hospital and a 18-hole golf course. A 45-minute drive in the other direction is El Valle (The Valley) de Anton, where you can enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, water falls, horseback ridding, bird watching, bike ridding, canopy tours, hot springs, and a local market on the weekends.

Great beach and refreshing pool!

We had a great time in Panama! The house had a beautiful view and the pool was a much needed refresher on the hot Panamanian afternoons! The beach changes every day! One day it was so far out that there were lots of locals hunting for oysters. Such a cool thing to experience! We went to Panama for the fishing and boy did we get some fish! We went out with Majo Fishing Charter for 2 1/2 days of our trip out of Vista Mar Marina in San Carlos (just 15-20 min away) and caught almost 50 fish! A mix of albacore and yellowfin tuna and Spanish mackerel. What an amazing experience! We will definitely return to this area in the future to try our luck on some Wahoo!

Highly recommend

The property offers ample space, tranquility, and a stunning pool with beautiful ocean views. Lorenzo, who prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches, truly enhanced our experience. If you're seeking a peaceful, charming, and private retreat, this place will exceed your expectations. We spent the majority of our time at Punta Barco, only heading into Panama City for our final night to explore the city. With the property being about 90 minutes from the city, we were conveniently closer to the airport for our departure the following morning. Everything went flawlessly. Highly recommend.

Barcovento vacation!

Lorenzo and Sarita are gems, they made the stay even better. House is beautiful and view from the back porch of the pool and the beach is even better in person. There are many sitting/lounge areas to enjoy the view. Private bedroom or “casita” is one of the sleep options which is lovely! The mealsLorenzo and Sarita prepared were amazing and very fresh. Relaxing if you want that or can visit el Valle de Antón with a car. Would definitely stay again!!!!

Beachfront Property with pool was truly our own piece of paradise.

Our family had a fabulous stay at property. The house was excellent, and the swimming pool was a major highlight—we all loved it, especially the kids! The location offered both privacy and convenient beach access, making it easy to enjoy surfing, body surfing, and boogie boarding while other family members relaxed by the pool. Lorenzo was an outstanding host, providing us with delicious breakfasts and dinners. His thoughtful touch extended to a detailed shopping list that made our trips to the local market much easier. By the end of our stay, we were already discussing plans to return. We can't wait for another visit!

Absolutely Dreamy!

As others said, the pictures really do not do this property justice! Can't say enough good things about our time there. We have 3 kids under 6 years old and they all had the time of their life swimming in the pool, exploring the property, and on the beach. They were some games for all ages and a play kitchen, which were perfect for kids. Lorenzo (the home's caretaker) cooks breakfast and lunch each day, does dishes, sweeps the inside and outside, and does laundry. The kids enjoyed visiting the chickens that are next to Lorenzo's gate house. The best kept and best stocked home rental I have ever been to (and I consider myself someone with high standards). We will most definitely be back!

Exceeds All Expectations

From start to finish a sublime experience. We are a family of 6, with a 5 year old. We felt so cared for by Lorenzo, with his cooking us breakfast, setting up the grill for us for dinners and taking care of the property. This is the most beautiful place and you can feel the love that went into building the home. We saw parakeets and a gorgeous iguana in the trees. Loved having the ocean right there for swimming and the infinity pool to lounge around. Our 5 yr. Old granddaughter learned to swim there. Andres is always a call away when you have questions. Our best experience ever!!!

Family Friendly Paradise

This house is your own piece of paradise and was perfect for our family after a busy time in Panama City. You felt like you were on your own island, but several amenities and experiences were a close drive nearby. The grounds, amenities and view were perfect. The pool is great for younger aged children. We'd love to come back on our next trip to Panama.

Relax

The house and pool are awesome. Total relaxing environment. Lorenzo, the grounds keeper is so much more than just keeping the place clean, he can cook too! There was no work whatsoever. The only drawback for me is I like to walk to the local places and you have to drive everywhere from here. But, if you like chilling in privacy, you cannot beat this place! It is everything as advertised and more.

Simply gorgeous!

Superb views. Lovely pool and property. Lorenzo, the caretaker and so much more, cooked 3 authentic Panamanian dishes - delicious! He also helped us get fresh fish which he also cooked perfectly. And when we had a flat tire, he recommended a tire shop and then went with us to make sure the repair was done well. It was. Andres was helpful with answers (and we were helpful with improving his directions to the house.😉) If you love the heat and the beach, you will be very happy here.

A perfect piece of paradise

We had an incredible stay at Andres’ gorgeous property! The location couldn’t be more serene and beautiful, but it’s still very easy to get to lots of great shopping, restaurants, and other conveniences. The grounds are lovely and we spent lots of time in the pool and on the hammocks, and the covered patio is a perfect spot for dinner, relaxing, and staying out of the odd tropical rainstorm. Lorenzo cooked incredibly delicious breakfasts and Panamanian lunches for us each day, and is so very kind and sweet! We also fell in love with his two adorable dogs who would come visit for morning pets, and we’ve never had a tastier lemon than the ones that came from the tree on the property. We can’t wait to come back!

Dream Beach Stay!

First let me say, pictures do not do this beautiful spot in the world, justice! The outdoor space is just incredible. In the month we stayed there, every single day was spent outside from 7 AM until 7 PM. The view alone, is worth a stay, but pair that with incredible daily service and you won't want to leave. We found the property to be tidy, clean and well appointed. The interior is more than sufficient, but given the outdoor space, you'll only want to come in to sleep at night. One tip - ask for advice on your grocery list so that Lorenzo can prepare local dishes for breakfast and lunch! Yum!

Beautiful

We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We loved the property because it is a rural setting with all the comforts of home. The people looking after the property are an important plus since they look after you, clean the property and even cook for you. We loved the location, the athmosphere and it was an ideal break which we needed after spending long quarantine periods in the capital city. We would strongly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful and fun pring break destination!

Our group of 7 (4 adults and 3 teen boys) had a wonderful week in this pretty beach home. The house is fully equipped with all you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The beach offers great waves for hours of fun. Lorenzo was incredibly accommodating (and very patient with my intermediate Spanish) and, along with Lorena, cooked up some delicious meals! We are very grateful we had the opportunity to spend our spring break here. Thanks for everything :)

A great escape from winter and wonderful opportunity to experience Panamanian hospitality!

This property is an easy drive from Panama City. It is most comfortable, spacious and attractive; with the main house, adjacent separate private cottage and beautiful landscaping all very well-maintained and enjoyable. It has fabulous ocean views, convenient access to the beach, where we were entertained daily by the local surfers, as well as many pelicans, frigate birds, egrets and many other sea-side birds. Lorenzo, the care-taker/gardener and Jackie, the maid/cook were most welcoming and continually helpful, and are essentially 'at your service' throughout the day. The nearby town of Coronado has great restaurants and all your shopping needs. It is a great place to relax, unwind and enjoy the colourful Panamanian Pacific sea-side.

Everything advertised and more!

If looking for a relaxing time on a beach, this is a great choice! The location is ideal (yet, you must have a car!), Lorenzo and Jackie are wonderful (although communication was difficult since they only speak Spanish), the dog becomes your best friend instantly, evenings listening to the ocean and star gazing and morning coffee in the yard before spending time in the ocean is amazing! As an added bonus the vendor trucks that come around 7 am are a fun experience! We bought cheese, melons and fish from them. Lorenzo even cleaned and seasoned the sea bass for us for our dinner that night! Andres was good to deal with and even found some kayaks for us when we requested information about rental. Overall, we had a great experience.

Peaceful, Tranquil, and Amazing!

There were seven of us and we spent the week here between Christmas and New Years. This place is so amazing! The location is very peaceful and somewhat secluded. We relaxed, played in the Ocean and just hung out on the property. The property is pretty special and they have done a great job making it comfortable. We rented surfboards and played in the Ocean for hours and hours. The water was warm and you could spend three to four hours in the Ocean and never get cold. We were there for eight days and only had one dinner out. Jackie prepared our breakfast and lunches and we prepared our dinners. There are a couple of grocery stores within a ten minute drive (Coronado) and this was a great way to vacation. Jackie and Lorenzo were wonderful. The biggest challenge was that only one of our seven spoke Spanish and it was sometime difficult to communicate. However they were very patience with us. Andres was wonderful to deal with. I was a little reluctant to pay all of the money in advance without knowing what to expect. However all of our dealings were wonderful and I trust him implicitly. We loved this place and hope to make it back again!

Prepare to be spoiled

6 of my dearest friends (think, "friends who become family") and I travelled to Panama from San Francisco for my roommate, another friend, and my birthday in mid-February 2016 and stayed at Andres' compound [let's be honest, it's a compound :)] for 5 days of R&R. Let me put it simply, we couldn't have drawn up a more perfect location, residence, or scenery if we tried. The pictures Andres has shared will make you fall in love and want to be there immediately, but they do not even come close to doing it justice. From the wooden picnic bench to the many hammocks to the mosaic floor, you're constantly smiling while staring at your home. Jackie and the gentleman (I forget his name, sorry!) are there to cook for you every day and they do a marvelous job. They also make up your beds and organize the bathrooms for you each day. They are so kind, and make you feel at home. There's access to the beach from the side of the property - a beach that is generally EMPTY. If you walk more than a few hundred yards in either direction, you will not see anyone for however far you choose to walk until you return. The skies are filled with stars all evening leaving you lying on the grass, listening to music, sharing wonderful conversation with your friends - exactly what you would want! It is a short drive to the town of Coronado, which has 2 terrific supermarkets on the main road and a plethora of delicious restaurants to choose from. The local residents are among the friendliest and warmest people I've met anywhere in the world. Take the time to talk to a few of them, they surely will leave your heart full. I cannot recommend this house or the town enough. Thank you Andres for making your home available to folks like us! PS. Stop by Cholo's (bar and restaurant), ask for Cesar and tell him Brendan and Alex from San Francisco sent you :)

About the host

Hosted by Andres de Vengoechea

Host profile image
My parents bought this land in 1980, when Panama was still mostly unknown to the outside world safe for the Canal. I grew up spending most weekends and vacations here and it will forever hold some of the best memories of my life...

Why they chose this property

Aside from an elevated, 180-degree view of the ocean, the property has direct access to the beach. If you're a surfer or want to learn, the beach has some of the best waves on the Pacific side of the country, and you can take lessons with locals. The house is also great for family vacations, with several spacious living and sleeping spaces, modern amenities, games and fun activities for the kids, including a pool and water slides, and plenty of hammocks for you to rest and relax...

What makes this property unique

A popular destination on the weekends for surfers and beach-goers alike, Punta Barco is mostly deserted on weekdays, making it pretty much your own private beach. At night, with no one around for miles, you can see what seems like the entire Milky Way on a clear night. In the morning you wake up to the sound of waves crashing and the smell of nothing but fresh air...
