Beach house vacation rentals in Bocas del Toro

A dream come true. The whole staff is welcoming and invites you into their home. They make you feel safe and the room is impeccable. The water is amazing and you could see the fish through the floor. Our dock was boss….. They Intentionally stocked fridges with all kinds of drinks and the breakfast was delicious. Storing our bags and using the coming space when our flight was delayed came in clutch. The location is pretty ideal with both transplants and local community living together so you can see the neighborhood they are intentionally creating. They are amazing we will never forget them and are coming back. Oh and they beautifully did our laundry, folded everything, even dropped it at our door like what gems. They helped us in a tricky situation as a tourist and came up with creative solution. They go above and beyond as host and will recommending 1000 por cento!!!

Great location, Sophie was super helpful and responded quickly to my questions.

Like every other review this place is incredible. We didn’t want to leave! Our tips would be - take more cash than you think you’ll need and a little more food than you think you’ll need. 😆 we ate at the restaurant one evening which was lovely and their chef is amazing but otherwise it was easy to fend for ourselves in the incredible setting. Touring the community is amazing (take your bug spray!) and the other outings were equally as memorable. We also toured the cacao farm in Dolphin Bay which was great! We were there with our twin boys who are 7 and not a moment of boredom! The house kitty was adorable and the boys named her Tinta (Valimir said she didn’t have a name yet so was happy she got one 😆) The boys are ready to go back!

We had a very nice stay. The location and the place itself were really great. The hostess was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. We would come back any time and can definitely recommend the place.

Fantastic place, the sea is your backyard. Monkeys, tracking, squirrels, and surfers on the waves passing by. Great house, minimalist but very nice with various hangouts. Keep in mind that it can be warm in the house and that insects can easily enter....but there is something great about that.

Jack and Vanessa were super responsive, friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The property is so beautiful! half on the beach and half in mid jungle, and really private and quiet. The house is nice, and my husband really enjoyed the little home gym:)

A beautiful place to hide out from the world for a while. While only a short walk from Old Bank and close to lots of other houses, the cottage felt very private. Wonderful sea breezes, beautiful view and tropical gardens, falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night was such a treat. We loved the little beach and swimming hole just out front. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen well-equipped. Tons of fans everywhere. Nina and Nesto were super responsive to any questions or requests that we had. A great stay!

Had a great stay!!! Miriam was very welcoming and kind!!!😊She took the time to suggest local activities and was very available. La Cabana was very well equipped and very clean, the pool too and the bed very comfortable!!The back view is beautiful over the jungle , there are even hawling monkeys who came to do their show right in front of the gallery! OMG! You can hear a little cars passing on the way next door but the place is still quiet with beautiful jungle sounds. La Cabana is a little further from the city ( which is part of its charm too) it is a nice long walk to do with a walk on the seaside. 2 electric bikes are available for rent on site directly in La Cabana , also there are several taxis, buses, ATV scooter rental etc as a means of transport! There are plenty of possibilities😊Anyway, I recommend this place and THANK YOU again Miriam for everything! Loved my stay ♥️

This is the place! I stayed here during 2024 for several months running my business entirely on Vidans Starlink, enoying a fully offgrid luxury gem built with mediterranean style. All interior is high quality, the kitchen is more than spacious and invites for hangouts after a day snorkelling around the properties private beach. There is nothing to miss here and Rubiel the housekeeper living close by will occasionally get you fresh Lagostas right out of the reef or Bananas from the jungle. You can also ask Rubiel to take you snorkelling out to Bird island with his boat. The house comes with plenty of privacy and an abundance of jungle around you. parrots, monkeys and dolphins pass by and the bench on the shore facing Costa Ricas mountains allows for stunning views into sunset. If you dont't have a car, a taxi connects well into Bocas town for 25 bucks and there is local bus within 15min walk. 6 out of 5 stars and I will be back later this year for an extended stay with friends.

The Jungle House at Playa Bluff was a great getaway destination for our 2 families, with 4 adults and 6 children, ages 4-11. The pool was great and the sleeping arrangements worked well for us. There is a decent kitchen, but we mostly ate at nearby restaurants or on our daily adventures. The house is about a 25 min taxi ride from the main town and the road can get soupy, but any of the truck taxis can easily get to the house. The beach is stunning, although not great for swimming with rip tides and currents. The host was super responsive to all questions and I would highly recommend this house. We even saw sloths and monkeys right around the house.

We really enjoyed Ron's place. Everyone there was extremely helpful. The property manager, Augusto was extremely helpful in setting up anything we wanted to do. Breakfast was prepared for us by Augusto's wife each morning, and she is a great cook. The pictures do not do the property justice. It is spacious and spotless. Each day while we were out seeing the island, the house was cleaned and our laundry was done for us. The pool is perfect. Bluff beach is by far the prettiest beach on the island, there is no need to go anywhere else if you just want to lounge on the beach. There are local restaurants within walking distance. Be advised, you will need to take taxis to other attractions on the island. Roundtrip taxi to and from town is around $45-$50. That said, I will gladly pay the taxi fee to stay at a place outside all the noise of Bocas Town, especially one as nice as this one. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and a beach all to yourself, this is the place to stay.

We love our stay at Augustus' place. The photos correspond to what we found in the house. It is a very spacious and comfortable house. The only point of attention was that the hot water was not working for the bath. I believe he will fix it soon.

Olivia’s place is as amazing as she is! She was so helpful, friendly and very responsive. The house is perfect for viewing wildlife - we saw sloths every day in the trees in the yard! Walkable to many places to eat and explore or relax at the beach. The house is off grid so we had power and hot water even when our friends nearby didn’t. Great WiFi, fully stocked kitchen. We even enjoyed refilling the hummingbird feeder on the porch to watch them constantly come and go! Helpful info: It’s about a $20ish taxi to get to town depending on number of people from the house or you can take a little bus that leaves from Bom Bom.

Lina was a spectacular host, she did not lose detail in helping us with any queries made, she responded immediately and was attentive to all our needs. Regarding the place is the same as the photographs, spacious, clean, tidy, had what you need for a vacation exploring the area, the pool is the ideal size for the place. I would come back again without thinking twice !!!!

The place is wonderful. There is a coral reef right in front of the villa and kayak and paddle board to enjoy the crystal clear water. Philip responded very quickly and helped us at all times.

We had a great stay at Jairo‘s place in Bastimientos. The house is located on a hill above the main town. The way up can be a bit muddy when it rains. The accomodation was really good and had a balcony with a beautiful view into the green garden. The house was clean and comfortable. The island Bastimientos was a good choice as it was really calm and you can walk to a very nice beach 15 mins away.

What a wonderful place to stay! The house is clean, comfortable, and stocked with all that you need. Zuleika went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect!

From the moment we arrived, this home swept us off our feet! This place is truly magical. Handcrafted from local sources (timber, coconuts, shells, stone), every detail reflects respect for the environment. The house is cozy, peaceful, & rustic, w/a funky edge. My favorite area was the patio, which opened up to the rainforest, teeming w/birds & flowers. I loved watching monkeys in the trees & listening to the waves. Next to the home is the owners' incredible restaurant, Arboloco, a local favorite. The restaurant has a chill jungle vibe (delicious Afro-Caribbean food) & is open Wed-Sat. Despite the nearby dining, privacy was never an issue. The path to our Airbnb was clearly separated, maintaining a secluded experience. The location is serene & is a 10-minute drive from Bocas Town. This Airbnb isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience… an artistic retreat. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect blend of nature, privacy, & local culture.

I will stay here again. Walkable to Wizard Beach in like 30 minutes. Clean, all the bedrooms have AC. Loved watching the sunsets from the upstairs bedroom. Had coffee in the morning looking over the Bay. Quiet local neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants, and loved the locals.

We just want to say a huge thank you to Lorenna and her wonderful family. We felt so welcome, and honestly we didn't want to leave. Lorenna was so helpful, giving us taxi numbers, and ideas of where to visit etc. Their house is cosy, well equipped, peaceful, cool and charming. For us we wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else on the island. Bluff beach is a little bit further out but trust me, it’s worth it. Best beach on the island in my opinion. And it’s right on your doorstep.

What a lovely place and the most excellent hosts! We had a wonderful time as a family (with young kids). We walked to La Piscina our first day upon arrival and saw howler monkeys in the trees above us and a sloth in a tree alongside the path. Our surf lessons with Esquela Del Mar on Isla Carenero was one of our favorite days. The place is exactly as the description and photos. The fans provide great air circulation, the kitchen is great for preparing meals (or walkable to restaurants), the porch is beautiful and comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious and gorgeous. We loved our stay!

The location was great and the house it’s a lot bigger than it looks in the photos. We had more than everything we needed in the house. Sandra was very kind! :)
