About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A third world oasis on the idyllic beach of Santa Clara.

Step out of your own gate and onto the white sand and blue sea. Located in the fishing community of Santa Clara, this rustic, charming and easy house, with direct access to the beach, has all the basic comforts within the luxury of a well kept secret.

Forget about manicures, fine clothes or socializing… And immerse yourself in this "third world-magical-therapeutic" experience. For a novelist looking for inspiration, or for your most memorable family vacation, for a couple in search of romance or for the start of that hard earned sabbatical, our Santa Clara guest house, adjacent to the main beach property, promises that laid back, no non-sense, tropical days that you have dreamed of.

At just a short 1.5 hours drive from Panama City, and a 10 minute drive from the convenience of the nearest town of Río Hato, the Santa Clara "Los Pescadores" street lies with its 20 local fisherman family houses and its 4 weekend family properties, all facing the sea. Two "rancho" style restaurants, a charming multigrade school and a "kiosco" mini store for (very) basic items, make up the single strip of lots that have made up this community since the 1940's. Take a "panga" ride with the locals to the "Farallón" bird-island, watch the fishermen arrive after a day's fishing, stroll on the beach for kilometers of pristine pacific beach, swim in one of Panama's most beautiful beaches, or ask the neighbor for a fun adventure on his floating banana boat for your teenagers or kids.

Having been Santa Clara property owners since the 1980's, it excites us to see others discover this amazing coastal treasure that has managed to stay rural and authentic. Let the sound of the waves wake you to the sun, and hypnotize you under the moon.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a coffee maker.
