Vacation rentals with a kayak in Bastimentos Island

One of the first things I think about when writing a review is “would I go back”? And the answer is 100%., I would go back in a heartbeat. This house is exactly what we wanted and expected. It was clean and comfortable with a big kitchen filled with quality appliances, pots and pans and cooking tools. The house is a few hundred meters from the water and the dock. Beds are super comfortable with quality bedding. The host and his assistant were responsive at all times in a warm and friendly manner.

This is a beautiful all-wood home for people looking for nature and tranquility. The sound of the jungle and sea is ubiquitous as the house is not completely closed. So mosquitoes and other animals are unavoidable inside too. But this is a great experience. We enjoyed the meals from the Al Natural resort a 3-minute walk away, it was exquisite! Thanks to Sunanda, Michel and Vincent for the organization and hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa K (2 families, 4 adults, 4 kids)! The house is lovely, with ample seating and an amazing porch with hammocks to relax on. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and eating meals at the house. Kids enjoyed playing ball in the front yard. Property manager Tyson was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had- he set us up with a local taxi driver that we used multiple times during our stay there. While there are a few great restaurants within walking distance to the house, a grocery store is a taxi ride away so keep that in mind. The way the house is arranged is that the two bunk bed rooms are on the ground/entry floor with the laundry room and bathroom. If staying with a family & children, the downstairs rooms are likely better for slightly older kids (~11 & up?), who don't mind the separation from parents/others. We had a great time & would stay again!

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!

The house is lovely but I think it’s worth noting that it’s very remote meaning that it’s literally on the water and you need a water taxi to get to the main island ($25 each way). My advice is to have food and drinks with you as well as toiletries such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner etc because it’s not provided and since the house is on the water you can’t easily leave. If you are looking for privacy this is definitely the place to be.

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:)

Such a great location on Carenero. Alex was a wonderful host and so kind. Mancha, the sweetest dog, was probably our favorite, though. She escorted us along the path many times but would abandon you for tastier treats. Only downside - not many waves.

Steve was really attentive and kind during our stay. His place was neat and felt like a second home. His instructions were clear enough to get us to the island within minutes. Me and my family had some wonderful vacations and highly recommend this place if you want to get away and go on a tropical adventure!🌴🍍

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.

All good, nice experience. Thank you for everything

Helena is such a lovely, warm- hearted person. She took time to make sure, we know everything in the house, including what to do if there is a power cut. Keep in mind, it's a bio house, so everything is run by the solar panels outside. There is a small store in Bastimentos Town, but it's better if you do the shopping in Colon Town. We really enjoyed being surrounded by the nature, listening to the rain.. We can recommend Helena and her house 100% and we will for sure be back.

Very incredible place. Very friendly and friendly. Recommended.
