Welcome to Playa Costa Esmeralda Casa!

 

Hola, my name is Andrew Barclay. Thanks for visiting the web page. I am far from a technology guru so bear with me.

In August 2019 I left my job as an electrician in Toronto to move to Panama. I purchased a beachfront property and set to work on the renovations, gardens, and pool construction. The mission was to escape the 401 highway  and offer a memorable vacation service to guests so they could focus on getting most out of their trip (and want to return the next year) . My timing could have been better but here we are! The positive post Covid news is the house and property provide a perfect holiday retreat for those looking at something other than the all-inclusive type vacation where you get up early to reserve a seat by the pool so you can drink sub-standard draft beer and line up at the buffet three times a day.

I live in a separate unit on the property like a concierge and property manager all in one. Airport pick -up and drop off, assisting with local trips to golf, fish, learn to surf, or visit local sites such as the Canal, El Valle, Casco Viejo are part of the holiday service. We have a 7 seater SUV for rent, and can offer domestic household service as requested.

 The cozy 3 bedroom house is situated on an acre park-like setting, directly on the Pacific Ocean.  Fully fenced in for your privacy.  The house backs on to a tranquility garden with a fishpond.  Stroll from the garden past a variety of fruit trees, to a salt water infinity pool that overlooks the Pacific from 80 feet up.  Obviously there is a beer fridge by the pool....

Take the staircase down to the beach for a walk on the sand or a swim.  Or stop and rest at one of the many covered patios on the property, to enjoy the view.

Costa Esmeralda is located 10 minutes from the bustling ex-pat hub of Coronado, where you will find restaurants, shopping, banks, and medical care.

Please contact me with any questions in advance of booking so we can ensure a great experience and help with trip planning.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  The kitchen is completely equipped but just to be clear, I am not cooking nor would you want me to.  Your pets are always welcome, but we do have 2 friendly dogs, Zoe and Renton, who act as a welcoming party,  on the premises. And yes, we have high speed Internet but put the phone down, you are on vacation.

Feel at home away from home!

Whether you are with us for a few days, or a few months, we want your stay to be relaxed and memorable.  Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a BBQ, many patios, and an onsite caretaker, who is here to ensure your vacation is hassle free.
