Beachfront vacation rentals in Bocas del Toro

The jungle tree house was just what we imagined it would be and more. Peaceful, quaint and just the right size for our family of 3. Being surrounded by monkeys swinging in the trees and tropical birds signing in the distance was almost surreal. Katarina was an amazing host. Very attentive, proactive, and a pleasure to communicate with. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and helped us craft some unforgettable experiences while in Bocas del Toro. We highly recommend this accommodation!

This is one of the top places I have ever stayed in my life. What a privilege it was to stay and be so immersed in nature. while it is isolated, that was exactly what we were looking for. there is incredible Coral right in front of the dock, and dozens of the giant starfish that people pay to see on tour. Off-Grid, quiet, beautiful, a nature lovers dream. honestly I can't wait to get back. Rodney was incredibly communicative beforehand helping us decide what to pack + what to make sure we bought before arrival. he arranges your transport from Bocas to his beautiful house and back which is a huge bonus. he also provides potable water. Kind and attentive hosts, they really made us feel at home + appreciated. if you love nature, amphibians, the birds, and of course snorkeling, and you're okay with skipping The nightlife then this is the place for you!

La casa es muy bonita, y se encuentra justo entre la vegetación, con gran vista a la selva de un lado y la costa por el frente. Es pequeña, aunque adecuada para dos personas. El inodoro está ubicado justo contra la cama, por lo que no hay mucha privacidad a la hora de hacer uso del mismo

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!

This was my second stay there, and it was just as great as the 1st visit - Great location - Highly recommend !! Walking distance to the main street which has plenty restaurants shops, and places to get a water taxi to visit the other close islands and the Floating Bar. We will be back again !!

It feels like a treehouse in the jungle with the sounds of the wildlife and ocean waves in the background. Gloria’s house is not only beautiful but a very peaceful place to stay, incredibly relaxing. There is a bar on the beach and a few restaurants nearby, definitely recommend The Hummingbird for food. There are also two good swimming spots that you can get to after a walk through the jungle and along the beach; La Piscina and the Blue Lagoon. Maybe take a picnic and make an afternoon of it? The house is about 20 minutes from town so it’s a good idea to get some supplies when you first arrive before heading there. Gloria was a great host and Will, the chap who takes care of the house, was also great and they both speak Spanish and English. You’ll be in good hands here. Best of all, how wonderful to wake up in the morning and discover that you are having breakfast with monkeys, eating bananas from a tree right next to you. This is a special place that I shall not forget.

Ich verbrachte drei Wochen in der Unterkunft und war sehr zufrieden! Calvin und Jeovana waren wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und Daniel war auch immer erreichbar. Die Unterkunft entsprach den Beschreibungen. Es war sehr sauber und ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Es hat alles was man braucht. Sehr gefallen hat mir der Sitzplatz auf der einen Seite vom Apartment zum Meer, auf der anderen Seite die Hängematte:) Meistens war es schön ruhig, manchmal hörte man abends die Musik aus einem Restaurant in der Nähe, aber das störte nicht. Es hat einen Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke und mit dem Fahrrad ist man in 7 min im Town, geht aber auch easy zu Fuss oder mit dem Taxi (1$). Gestört haben mich nur meine Nachbarn, die sehr laut waren, aber da hatte ich wohl einfach etwas Pech, mit den anderen war dies kein Problem. ich war insgesamt sehr zufrieden und würde direkt wieder buchen!:)

Escogí La Caribeña entre tantas opciones porque me llamó la atención el deck , las habitaciones y el poder tener salida al mar desde este espacio. Puedo asegurar que no me equivoqué. ¡Qué lugar tan maravilloso! Es un paraíso sobre el mar. Joy y Edu hacen un gran trabajo como anfitriones, están pendientes de todas tus posibles necesidades, siempre te brindan recomendaciones, y por si fuera poco tienen un restaurante hermosísimo a una distancia caminable desde el hospedaje. Son unos anfitriones tan atentos que hasta te obsequian shots de cortesía en su restaurante Ohana, fui todos los días porque la comida era bastante adictiva. Este hospedaje lo tiene todo! Usé los kayaks que se alquilan en el hospedaje y pude recorrer los alrededores de la isla. Finalmente, una lancha me recogió en el deck gracias a la gestión de Joy, quién organizó un tour para mí. Experiencia 10/10 Volvería mil veces ☺️

The apartment is a rare find in Bocas, fully equipped, AC in the living room/kitchen, it has everything you might need, very comfortable, Raúl is an excellent host, thanks for letting us stay at your place.

This place was amazing, best Airbnb we’ve stayed in 10 meters away from the beach, hosts were always responsive and very helpful it is paradise.

Super logement très cosy et mignon. Vue magnifique sur la mer depuis la chambre, piscine et au restaurant. Les hôtes sont super accueillants et proposent d’aider pour les excursions ou autre. Très gentils. Le petit déjeuner inclus est un gros plus. Le seule petit « moins » serait de pas pouvoir se baigner directement depuis le logement et devoir marcher pour trouver une chouette plage. Idem pour les restaurants, peu d’options dans les alentours. En résumé, super et on recommande

What the hosts have created is a marvel of artistry and craftsmanship. The pictures do not capture the true magic of the place. From the beautiful gardens to the handcrafted furniture with simple and elegant attention to details. Far beyond our expectations. The hosts are kind, gracious and most welcoming. It’s a slice of heaven on earth.

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.

Tropical Suite is THE place to be! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the fam. The food? OMG, so freaking good! Fresh seafood, killer cocktails—total flavor explosion! And the service? A+. They're like mind readers, always one step ahead. Plus, the room? Cozy and cute, with very nice views. But who needs a room when you've got a pool right on the sea? Yep, amazing pool-bar just downstairs. And the location? Prime time. Beach, rainforest, cute villages—all within reach. Seriously, if you're after a slice of paradise, Tropical Suite is it. Already planning our next vacay here!

Heaven is a place on earth. Pool House 2 was the perfect place for me; the garden is simply magnificent. You can observe various animals (e.g., hummingbirds). The place is very quiet at night, and you sleep like a baby. Being so close to the ocean, you can hear the waves. The bedroom has good air conditioning, so even hot nights are no problem. The pool is perfect for cooling off. Johanna is a kind-hearted person who you immediately like. She greets her guests personally and explains everything in detail. I highly recommend this place and Johanna as a host.

6 out of 5 stars for this place! After living in Bocas for more than 6 years & staying at Vidan"s and Al's Place for several months last year, I can say this is one of the most beautiful places to stay in the archipelago. The villa is located right on the sea and their is no direct neighbours or any kind of noise disturbing your peace. The location comes with a wonderful sea breeze, hence no need for A/C. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the BBQ at the terrace invites for hangouts and cooking sessions. If you want to eat out its about 20min walk down to some beach bars in Drago and with a rental car from Bocas town all is easy accessable within 20min . I can only recommend staying here and will be back later this year for sure! Vidan and Ali are wonderful hosts and a local caretaker living close by will assist with anything that needs help here. Great snorkellng right down at the private beach and there is a very swimmable 1km sand beach some 5min walk away. Love it!

Das Treehouse ist eine tolle und einzigartige Unterkunft. Im Preis ist auch das Frühstück im Café inbegriffen, welches sehr lecker war. An einem Morgen sind wir aufgewacht und hatten Brüllaffen direkt vor unserem Häuschen. Ein tolles Erlebnis.

Die Unterkunft ist ein kleiner Traum. Ca. 100 Meter vom wunderschönen Strand entfernt. Der Strand ist sauber und menschenleer. Es hat in der Nähe Restaurant und eine coole Bar. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und die Küche gut ausgestattet. Da es keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe gibt, lohnt es sich vor der Ankunft in Bocas einzukaufen. Das Koche hier macht sehr Spass. Im Garten wohnen Vögel, ein Faultier und viele Schmetterlinge. Sehr schön und für alle die etwas Ruhe in der Natur suchen perfekt. Wir empfehlen es allen gern weiter 🥰

I’ve stayed in at least 49 Air Bnbs, and Denis’ place is number 1! It was the perfect place for me and my husband to spend a blissful week. Highlights: Geraldine’s cooking was over-the- top delicious! We loved them all, breakfast, lunch and dinners. The taste and presentation was world class. The cocktails were unique and yummy. We especially loved the peanut punch. Her meals were so nutritious that we left healthier and happier. The food was locally sourced or caught by Denis Denis’ Dolphin Bay tour was great and we loved the snorkeling. We saw a giant sting ray! We enjoyed the variety of birds around the eco lodge. We also took a tour to the Nöbä indigenous cacao plantation. Very interesting and a wonderful lunch. And we also did the dolphin and sloth tour and had great sightings of both. So much to do, and also just a great place to stay and relax. On our last day we kayaked and snorkeled from the eco lodge. Before we left they gave great advice on Panama City.

Muy bien la estadía, fue surreal ver manta rayas y estrellas de mar desde el corredor de la casa. Hay que considerar que para movilizarse hay que hacerlo en bote, el servicio de bote es suficientemente ágil.

Maravillosa cabaña en medio de la selva y con vista al mar desde toda la casa. Tiene un muelle privado donde tomar sol y bañarse en agua cristalina con vista a la selva y a la bahía. Elena es una excelente anfitriona, nos dio muchos datos de qué hacer y cómo movernos en la isla, además de invitarnos a una clase de yoga dirigida por ella en un lugar hermoso. Lo pasamos increíble, volveríamos sin duda a quedarnos allá.

Amazing Stay at KoKo Waterfront Bungalow! We booked this bungalow last minute after hours, and the host went above and beyond to accommodate us, meeting us for check-in and making sure we had everything we needed. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable—a perfect getaway right on the water. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning views made our stay even more special. We truly appreciate the hospitality and will definitely stay here again! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay.

Melanie war eine sehr gute Gastgeberin und hat uns sehr viele Tipps und Empfehlungen gegeben. Sie war jederzeit für uns erreichbar, der ganze Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm und wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist mit großen Koffern etwas umständlich. Die Aussicht vom Balkon aus war sehr schön!

Dale's place it's perfect and very cozy, feels just like home. Very centric, close to everything but also quiet too for a good night sleep. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and responsive. Thank you so much for everything. We recommend this place!
