Panama Sarah's Casitas, from 49/nt. Private Property,Big Pool Easy Walk 2 Beach

The kindness of Sarah

The pictures do not look like the actual property which gives a tropical vibe. Plus, there was construction ongoing to put in/replace the sidewalk

All in all it was exactly what we needed. We don’t spend a lot of time “staying” in our unit, so it was perfect. We had a couple of small issues during the stay (wi-fi, hot water, AC) but Tina the property manager was extremely responsive and handled everything as quickly as possible. Property is located 3 blocks from the beach, and is accessible to everything! If you want a comfortable spot to sleep and regroup, highly recommend!

A wonderful stay. Perfect sized and well equipped Casita nestled in a private well maintained tropical setting complete with a beautiful pool and grilling area. Short walk to the ocean, short ride to grocery stores and restaurants

Excellent efficiency condo, directly on beach. Accurate pictures, clean, easy check-in. Host is excellent communicator and very helpful. Location to restaurants and groceries walkable. It would be a 5-star rating from me except the first few days had a sewage smell in the evenings / night. This was apparently a building issue and did get fixed but diminished the overall stay.

From great communication before we got there, to a friendly face while we were on site, Sarah made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful time while we were in Panama. It was our first adventure out of the USA, and with her guidance we had a ride scheduled as soon as we landed, and reliable transportation either by using her local contacts or renting her SUV while onsite. The location is minutes from the beach and local restaurants. If we didn't want to drive, there supermarkets and restaurants within a 15 - 20 minute walk. We are already talking about returning to Panama, though we just got back a few days ago, and we will definitely be contacting Sarah for the next time.

Our casita was ready when we arrived, even though we had to arrive early due to some transportation issues. Our unit (Toucan) was really a very large studio, but it suited exactly what we needed. A king bed, a decent sized closet and a small kitchen with a table, stove and modest sized fridge, much larger than a dorm fridge but not a 25 cu ft unit. The stove was a full up four burner stove and oven. The stove worked fairly well but the burners were either on or off. The kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans and cooking utensils. There were a variety of plates, bowel, glasses and utensils there. I'd suggest a stop at either El Rey or Super 99 to get a few things like tea, coffee, butter and such. Get in, unpack and look at the kitchen. Call Dagoberto (or have Diana call him). Whatsapp is heavily used in Panama and is the best way to communicate. Use Google translate to cut&paste your requests and the replies. Taxis are cheap, $3-4 for most destinations. Uber is also available but not reliable as to when. There are a number of restaurants a short taxi away and some in walking distance.We rented a golf cart for a day but probably should have just used a taxi. There's a washer there but the dryer is solar and wind powered, ie a clothes line. The water is fine and we had no concerns drinking it anywhere. At the grocery store buy local or pay 50-100% more for American brands, although some American brands are made locally. Bring lots of $1 and $5 bills.

fire for several days allowing the smoke to continue to impact the property for days. Long distance to local store and restaurants. Power outages are frequent and anoying

A small paradise, conceived with taste and love. Nice pool, nice BBQ, nice everything. Thank you Sarah.

Great pool and outdoor setting. It was nice to have access to a washing machine after more than a week of travelling. You really need a was to a car or at least a golf (which is available on site) as Coronado is so spread out. It’s a gated community and definitely attracts an older demographic (like is!).
