yes there was a pool but due to high surf and debris getting into the pool it was unusable much of the time. The wall was constructed to block the surf but it also blocked the view. The couches were old and uncomfortable. all necessary supplies and bedding were included and the home was otherwise comfortable and spacious for our group. The location is fairly remote and isolated from shopping and bars and restaurants but there were nice beaches and snorkeling close by. I am told that other times of the year are much nicer because the surf is very calm. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the price was reasonable.

Not at all what was promoted. This house should not be promoted.
A nice house with ocean view was proposed. We got a house with a huge orange wall right in front of the sea. No view. House was not clean. More than half of the lightbulbs were not working. Stove and oven not working. Could not open the bedroom access to the balcony, door was in bad shape and full of crap. Not at all what we have paid for. Owner should be honest and tell remote his house with the ugly wall blocking the view. We were stolen of our few first days of vacation. We had to go somewhere else !! This house should be off the market.

Paradise
Communication was great with both owner and property manager, Maria and Eddie Jr. and Sr. are soo nice, they made us feel like family.
It's a nice size swimming pool, right at the ocean. As we were there in the storm season, it was great to hear the waves crash on the rocks, everywhere in the house. The house is big and the air-conditioners are working great to keep all the rooms cool ( we're Canadian, lol).
We will be back for sure, even thinking of buying a house in that area.
Again, thanks Maria for your great hospitality.

Portobelo Beach Front Home
If you are a person who is not a city dweller when you vacation, this place is for you. You can enjoy the county side and the people who live there. House is located approximately 1 hour from Tocumen Airport. Food shopping is available along with road side stands of locally grown fruits and vegetables of the area. Some of the places in the area to visit are historic Portobelo, Gamboa rain forest, Gatun Locks and dam, Isla Grande, Colon, El Valle, and don't miss Ft. San Lorenzo, a hidden treasure. House was spacious and clean and contained all the amenities needed for your stay. Owners, Bob and Maria, and their family, were most helpful in providing driving directions to the house, stayed in touch to see how we were doing, and provided every thing needed to make our stay enjoyable.
