Many of the present owners of homes in the community are "Snow Birds" and use the Ocean front home as a second home during the winter in the North American area.

The connection from Panama City Airport to the airport in David has made a major improvement. You can now fly from Tocumen (PTY) to David without having to take a Taxi to the Albrook Airport. Therefore it will no longer be a requirement to change airports. Also, the decision to have flights to David come/leave directly from the USA/Canada rather than having to go to Panama City is now scheduled to begin in early 2012.

You have a complete 180 degree view of the ocean from the beach side of the home and you also have mountain views are 180 degrees from the front of the house. You also get many beautiful sunsets.

There is nearly always a nice cool breeze blowing of off the beach. In the evening, the cool breeze from the mountains begins and normally gives you a nice cool evening. The upper and/or lower porch is where you will probably spend most of your time. The kitchen, snack/dining room and the master bedrooms are all adjacent to the porch. It makes a nice day to wake up, step onto the porch and watch the birds and dolphin/whale, surfers and joggers while you eat your meals. There are normally excellent conditions for surfing or fishing.
