Vacation rentals in Balboa District

I loved staying at Villa Gemini, a super quiet, comfortable, pleasant place, close to restaurants, no noise around it, excellent location and easy access. The host was attentive to everything, responded quickly and was super friendly.

The villa is of very good quality, well maintained with recent high-end amenities. The photos do not honor the villa. Maurice and Jean are very responsive and do everything to make the stay as pleasant as possible. We enjoyed the stay!

. I would stay here again. Beautiful beach less than a minute walk, other beach 5 minute walk. Also have an outdoor shower which is nice to use before walking into unit. Not much of a pool so nobody used it. Wish they had more kitchen utensils and a broom to sweep sand in unit. Floor slippery when wet be careful. Store onsite which was real convenient. Host got someone to pick us up at ferry and take us back. Let us check in early and check out late to coincide with ferry. Host recommended someone for golf cart unit. $85 for 24 hours two seater,and they brought a junker with bad steering. I complained and got a slightly better one. Great stay. Not much on island so 3 nights is plenty

If you are looking for a Cliffside palace overlooking a pristine bay, then this is the place for you. Very responsive and helpful host. I stayed at Josie’s place, then did a day on Contadora, if you don’t mind a 510 or 15 minute walk to the beach, the beaches on Saboga Island, are much much nicer and untouched than the ones in Contadora. Five stars.

We had an amazing stay! The place was beautiful, remote, surrounded with wildlife, gorgeous beaches, gear to use, great pools. Hosts were always available to answer our questions, give us rides, connect us with boats, fix things that needed fixing. The house space was perfect for our group of 7, including 4 kids! We did bring a bunch of food from the mainland, which was a good idea. Local market is limited and the nice restaurant just down the beach was good but expensive for regular meals. Zully was available to cook for us and her cooking was outstanding! Matthias and his local manager were very helpful and friendly. We had a beautiful experience and the house and surroundings were wonderful. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at Hanik and Eran’s piece of paradise. We spent time trying to figure out how it could be better, and were unable to do so. The attention to detail, the tranquility, and hosts who truly care about making your experience the best it can be are just a few things that made this experience stand out. We are already trying to figure out the next time we will be able to go back and stay there again, and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends.

The hospitality, care and frequent communication to ensure everything is smooth is impressive! Service is what makes purchases stand out and the fact that this airbnb is coupled with its surroundings makes it that much better! The space is so relaxing I slept 10 hours straight on the first evening. Every afternoon would end with sitting a couple of hours on the balcony watching the sun set the tide come in and hearing the waves crash. The island is tiny and underdeveloped, but you don't come to Saboga and El Remanso to remember the hustle and bustle, you come to disconnect in nature, to walk around this tiny island as if you were an inhabitant that shares the best beach on it. There's many more islands in the area to discover with a quick boat ride; the beaches seem untouched and virgin. Snorkeling yields many opportunities to see parrot fish, rays, octopuses and more. There's barely any mosquitoes because of the birds and bats! I hope to be back soon and enjoy whale watching!
