House vacation rentals in Bocas del Toro District

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 rear view is beautiful over the jungle, there are even howler monkeys who came to perform right in front of the gallery! Wow! You can hear cars passing by on the road next door but the place is still quiet with beautiful sounds of the jungle. La Cabana is a little further from the city (which is part of its charm too) it's a nice long walk to do with a bit to walk on the seaside. 2 electric bikes are available to rent on site directly at La Cabana, also there are several taxis, buses, mountain bike scooter rental etc as a means of transport! There are plenty of possibilities. In😊 short, I recommend this place and THANK YOU again Miriam for everything! I loved my stay. ♥️

We loved everything about the house and the island. The house is a perfect getaway, we loved the garden, the pool and the hammock. We really enjoyed listening and watching the birds. Even saw some monkeys! The island is lovely and we had so much fun exploring on our motorcycles. We hope to come back someday! Joanna is very kind, friendly and helpful.

We travelled with 3 boys to this retreat and were exceptionally glad we did! Had everything the adults and boys hearts desired. Beautiful breakfast, pools, ocean waves and sloths in the yard! A tour of the farm to eat fresh limes and say hi to the horses! Host and family incredibly helpful for setting up any day activities. Great little spots on the beach for lunch and dinner in walking distance. We even requested boogie boards for the kids and brand new ones were there when we arrived. Above and beyond. 100 percent we ll be back and would recommend

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 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.

My family had an amazing stay at Michel's home (2 adults, 2 kids under 10yo). The house is right on the water with beautiful beaches and snorkeling just meters away. The arrival logistics were easy: We were picked up at the airport and driven straight to the office. Did some quick grocery shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and then got on the boat to Al Natural. The resort area was great for kids since the water is fairly shallow off the beach and protected from big waves. We particularly appreciated: Readily available gear (paddle boards, ping pong, snorkeling gear, etc.). Amazing, large porch for relaxing. Ability to easily book excursions and transport (chocolate farm, scuba, bat caves, etc.). Cooking at the house or signing up for delicious meals at the main resort building. Kind staff that were welcoming to our kids. My only recommendation is bringing enough cash for excursions. We didn't plan it out well enough and were down to our last balboa/dollar at the end.

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.

Beautiful place on the water. Very peaceful with great snorkeling off the deck!!

Clodine was absolutely wonderful and a great host. Helped us with everything we needed. Her place is like a Bohemian oasis full of art and trinkets. She is free spiritied and it shows in the place. Don't stay here expecting the 4 Seasons. It is a well located place right on the water. The added breakfast service was great. Staying here helped us to understand how people here live in unison with the land. We saw how wasteful we are here in America. It was a great experience. Clodin gets an A!

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.

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.

Very good stay, it was surreal to see manta rays and starfish from the corridor of the house. You have to consider that to mobilize you have to do it by boat, the boat service is agile enough.

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!

Our overall experience with the house and the host were extraordinary, we felt super welcome at all times, Aristides helped us at all times, she gave us excellent recommendations from local shops, I give us a lot of help with transportation and in general was an extraordinary person, we were delighted with the place, everything was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We are delighted with both the place and the host and look forward to coming back soon.

Loved this stay. Great roof terrace

The stay was great, Judith was very kind! It is advisable not to bring large suitcases since you will have to carry them, and you have to go over a wooden bridge, so a carry-on is ideal! Everything was great !

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!

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 had a great stay at Steve’s house on Isla Carenero. The house was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything you need for your stay. The deck was great to relax and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed using the included kayaks several times during our stay. Steve was extremely helpful with anything we needed and called our water taxis for us. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Steve!

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 was knowledgeable as was her caretaker Kathleen. They were helpful and had lots of recommendations.Great neighbors too! Truly, her little slice of paradise.
