Amazing relaxing trip

What a beautiful place to recharge and enjoy family , sun and beaches . We couldn't chose a better place to stay . The pool was so fun for the kids and so very relaxing listening to the live band in the evening just across the street and drinking coffee by the pool in the morning . We absolutely loved our stay ♥️

Perfect Oasis

This is the ideal place to stay while visiting PCB. The house is roomy & clean while the pool area feels like your own personal paradise. We sat out around the pool & grilled at night for the perfect ending to the day.

Hidden Gem

Wow!! This place and the owners are just absolutely Amazing. My family and I enjoyed staying here more than anywhere we have ever been in Panama. To start the house is very clean and has everything you will ever need from the kitchen being fully stocked, to plenty of towels or blankets, to pool toys and including a grill. We very much enjoyed waking up and having breakfast on the back porch by the pool and ending the night with a swim. It’s also just a 2 min walk to the beach which was pretty awesome and to top it off there’s a little bar right across the street with great food and live music every night. We were able to have dinner on the back patio while getting to listen to the live band which to us was a plus. Do not pass on this sweet spot you will not regret it. Thank y’all for the great place to stay!!

Be ready to fall in love!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Whale of a Good Time. We felt so at home and found everything we needed at the cottage. Mary was fast to respond to any questions we had during our stay. We enjoyed having a private backyard pool area all to ourselves with the convenient outdoor shower and bathroom. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

Why they chose this property

It just feels like vacation!
It is the classic example of "COTTAGE BY THE SEA". a step back to a slower time when families enjoyed each others company. A place you can sit back and enjoy your morning coffee under the patio fans, and listen to the tinkle of the fountain in the garden.
It's a place you can feel like belongs just to you----
not a copy of the condo next door,------
even if it is, for just a few days.

What makes this property unique

Excellent location!
Private patio & pool with Fountain in Beach Garden Setting
