Casita del Mar
Paradise on earth is that too much. The home was lovely, the amenities were great, the views were beautiful.the staff were so amiable, responsive, and professional. We hired the boat captain to take us to monkey island and zapatilla #2. It was a beautiful day. We hired the chef to cook for us for two nights, and we could not have enjoyed a better meal anywhere else. The food was amazing! We went into Bocas del Toro and it was a cute town but most of our time was spent at Casita Del Mar. You could do some snorkeling and use the paddle boards/kayaks from the house and they offered boots for a hike. We opted for a short hike. The water off the dock was shallow and I went into the water but you would have to go further to snorkel which put you into the boat traffic. I opted not too. What I did love was all the fishes you could feed off the dock, so much fun. Rooms were beautiful and large tub was amazing. Shower had great water pressure. Just to be clear there’s no AC but a fan was supplied. But it was hot. And the sand flies are pretty annoying, the next day after being bitten. Picardin seemed to work well the first day. They also supplied coconut oil as a repellent. I would also have treated the clothing with some Permethrin Fabric treatment to use as a repellent. In spite of these two small inconveniences, it was amazing stay, and so thankful for the opportunity to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience.

This house is a true gem. We absolutely loved being able to snorkel, kayak, and SUP straight from the dock. We also enjoyed walking the trails behind the house. We woke up each morning to the sound of jungle birds and howler monkeys, were greeted by dolphins mid morning, and even experienced the bioluminescent plankton at night. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need, even water shoes, rubber boots to hike in, and bug spray.

snorklers joy
If you’re a snorkeler looking for that place you can go every day right from your front deck, this is for you. Every morning a natural alarm clock of hundreds of parrots flying from their nesting area to their daytime area woke us as the sun came up. Every morning we looked out the window and felt we would never get tired of the view and felt the peace of the place. Most striking is the quiet, no cars or airplanes. Motorboats occasionally go by but mostly every morning just a string of people in handmade canoes would pass by silently on their way to work or school. We would greet them and they would greet us back. At night the parade would go the other direction. The stars are brilliant at night because there’s very little light pollution. If you’re lucky enough to experience a storm, the rain and lightning is fascinating. Be sure to visit the chocolate farm. Its a short boat ride and well worth the time. Its not really just a chocolate farm. Its an incredible environmental experience with some cocoa trees and items for sale at the end. The owner is very knowledgeable and outgoing about everything. We saw our first of five sloths that day before we even got off the dock. The walk was strenuous for me, some uphill and downhill, but walking sticks and help were available if needed. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The entire support staff made us feel taken care of and part of the community. I could go on forever. Lovely place.

Dolphin Bay treasure
Not only is this situated on the heart of Dolphin Bay, it's quiet, spacious and well thought out. Plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. When we had an issue with the fridge not getting cold enough, Katerine sent someone out the next morning to fix it. Dolphins everyday, the best reef right out the front door, and spectacular sunrises. A wonderful week!

Fantastic family vacation
I can't recommend this rental home enough! My family (husband and two kids age 10 and 7) stayed here for one week. We all loved the view, ability to snorkel right from the porch, the howler monkeys in the jungle, and the house's layout and luxurious beds. Check-in - Getting in was a little hectic, but was managed well. We were taken to the dock to drop off our luggage and walked to the grocery store close by. There is a pretty good variety of foods. Just come prepared for tight aisles and a crowd. I recommend having a list of the most important things you need so you don't forget them. We forgot butter, garlic, and eggs, but got them on another trip later that week. Once they bagged our groceries, they brought them over to the dock for us, which was so helpful since we had quite a load. It was a 20-25 minute boat ride to the house from there. Getting to the house, the manager showed us around and asked us about plans for the week so she could help us start to make any needed reservations. The stay - Our favorite things to do were snorkeling from the house (there are some jellyfish and sea urchins in the water, so be careful), hiking in the jungle, relaxing on the porch watching the water, kayaking, and taking several outings: 1) Zapatilla Island - If you are looking for a beautiful tropical island and beach, go here! The boat captain took us early enough that we were the first ones and got to enjoy it by ourselves before a crowd arrived. 2) Green Acres Chocolate Farm - A close boat ride away and a fantastic learning opportunity about some of the local flora and fauna. 3) Bat Cave - We saw some cool animals in addition to the bats. Didn't go too far into the cave because the water gets deep, but still saw a lot. 4) Coral Key for snorkeling - Saw some larger coral formations and schools of fish. Very beautiful. We had the chef cook for us for five nights and it was so great. He used the foods we had purchased and created different meals every night. A very friendly guy and speaks fantastic English, too! I booked an appointment for a 60-minute massage and the masseuse came right to the house and set up the table in the kitchen, complete with relaxing music. She does a Swedish-style massage. This place is not the best choice for people who - have small children, have mobility issues, or don't like geckos (there are several little geckos in the house that are fantastic little pest control agents, but can be scary to some people).

10 stars!!!
Book this property now! My family of 4, my husband and two teenage boys had the most amazing stay at Casita Del Mar! The experience was first class all the way. We had Erika greet us at the airport, she took us shopping and helped navigate our entire trip. Jose our boat captain took us out fishing, to red frog beach and zapatilla island, even showed us a snorkel spot with some super chill and large north sharks! Our boys were amazed! We had Jose cook dinner for us every night and the whole family enjoyed the meals. Katharine cooked our first night and she did an amazing job with some fish that was caught the same day. Overall, this trip was the adventure we’ve been needing for a long time. And don’t worry too much about the no see ums, just cover up with the coconut oil provided, wear long sleeves and long pants and stay inside when the wind dies down in the evening. Bring some antihistamine for if you get a couple bites, those worked well for us. Overall, this trip was a dream come true! Don’t miss out!

Magical
The location of this beautiful property is magical. So peaceful and serene with only the sounds of nature and an occasional passing boat. Got to see dolphins in the bay each day of our stay and a stingray right off the deck of the house. House was very well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals and enjoy them on the deck but highly recommend having the chef cook for you at least once as the meal was delish! The hosts were very responsive and Jose the boat captain/wildlife spotter completed the trip. Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away and disconnect.

Still no words to describe - so great!
We spent 5 nights at Casa del Mar last week and it was beyond our expectations. The house is so beautiful, luxurious and CLEAN. So clean. The wraparound deck = superb. The sunrises 😍😍 breathtaking. The water so so clear. Jose and Katerina were fantastic - Jose’s smile and knowledge when taking out us was priceless. He took us to a spot where dolphins played right beside the boat, pointed out sloths we would have missed and just a great human. From our front deck we saw stingrays, so many fish, more starfish than we could count and dolphins (50-100ms off the deck). We dawn with jelly fish. Were on the paddle boards daily… Would highly recommend if looking for a place to really get away from it all. Some notes: **take heed of the warning of the dawn and dusk “no-see-ums” they are no joke and their bites itch for days and days and days. Wear long clothing at dusk and dawn if outside. ** if you are going exploring - would recommend asking prior to how much to expect for fuel costs - we were shocked at how high fuel costs were. **the water off the deck is very shallow and right on a beautiful little reef - so no jumping directly in the water - there is a careful swim/paddle board over the reef to more comfortable swimming water levels. **the wifi was gloriously weak - if needing to work while there this might not be the spot. Our family had a great internet detox - messages taking hours to send. Not a complaint - just good to know.

This place was beautiful, house was equipped with everything we needed. The view was awesome right on the water, it was so peaceful to sit and watch for dolphins. The boat captain Jose is very friendly. The only complaint is there is a sewage smell around the property. Depending on the breeze it went away, but it was around quite a bit.

Captan toured us to many beaches and spots to see! The house was beautiful!! welcoming and the grounds had so much to do! The nature and marine life!! we watched sting rays come by in the mornings along with so many starfish, jelly fish and more! morning early you can see the dolphins swimming in the distance and coming up for air! the sunrise on this deck is one you will never forget! We stayed with our 2 teenagers and had an amazing time! Evenings were great for card games and just connecting. We will for sure be back in the future as we loved the area.

Everything we had hoped for
The property is very well-managed and well-equipped. We had Jose Potin cook dinner for six nights and were happy with the food every night. We had Jose Sr AKA Papa Jose and his beloved grandson take us on wonderful excursions to the chocolate farm, the bat cave, Zapatilla Island, and the secret snorkeling spot. We used the kayak, the snorkel gear (what a great size range), and the Wellington boots. The coral around the house is very healthy, unlike the coral in more well-traveled parts of the Caribbean. The property offers good privacy. We often heard music from the neighbor 50 yards to the North but it wasn't objectionable. There were a lot of jellyfish in the water around the house but although the stings hurt for a couple hours the pain did not last. The layer of caring details really elevated the home. Easy cotton pajama pants in a variety of sizes to put on to make it harder for the chitras to bite us. Soft high quality bedsheets. Internet is iffy which apparently is true for much of the island.

Everything is top quality! From the construction of the property, to the kitchenware, to the transportation and service from Erica. We stayed in several places over a month in Panama and this was by far the best overall. You couldn't be in a more peaceful, natural spot. We loved the paddle boards and kayaks and were lucky enough to experience the dolphins all around us. The Chitras (nats) do like to bite in the early morning and early evening. But with coconut oil on you can still relax. The wifi is not super powerful, but hey, you are off grid :) Erica was really responsive to questions, offered advice and communicated really well. This is a family run operation. They care and have high standards, something you don't see all over Panama. Highly recommend and will come back in future!

Casita del Mar is amazing! Julia was very helpful as we planned our trip and Erica and team were great while we were there; taking us to the grocery store, fish market and other stops before being on our way. Going through the "Bocas Canal" was an added perk. The house is beautiful and a great place to enjoy snorkeling with colorful sponges, coral and fish, hiking to see sloths, monkeys, birds and the rainforest and so much more! We miss it already!

Casa Del Mar is our favorite place to disconnect and reset. This is our second stay. We were there for 10 fantastic days. We love the peace and quiet of the bay. We love going on adventures with Jose. Hiking behind the house in search of sloths, monkeys, iguana’s, and birds is fantastic. We spent days just relaxing at the house, paddle boarding and snorkeling over the reef. Erika was great and always responded promptly for questions and anything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a really unique getaway. Can’t wait to visit again.

Incredible!!!!
Everything was absolutely incredible! We regret leaving. We had a truly off the grid experience. We enjoyed snorkeling off the dock and seeing all sorts of marine life, as well as exploring the jungle in the backyard and seeing the abundance of wildlife. Wear the boots that the house provides. I stepped on a six foot snake without realizing it. Luckily I was wearing boots! The Chef, Jose (Potin) came by every night to cook meals and they were delicious. We have extremely picky eaters in the family and everyone was satisifed. In fact, we let him decide what to make us, it was more fun that way! Our boat captain, Jose was so knowledgeable on the best snorkeling spots and we had so much fun with him! Erika, the property manager came by to chat and it was a pleasure meeting her and getting to know her and more about the community/island. It was an incredible trip. We cancelled over thanksgiving and so glad Julia kept in touch with us and was able to accommodate our stay for a future date. We do not regret this trip and talking about a return already! This just became our new Costa Rica without the high prices and tourists. The house is beautiful, has everything you could need for a home off the grid. The kayaks werre put too good use on the daily. We also used the washer and dryer right before leaving. We also used the pants that they offered to not get bit by the no see ums. They also provided us with coconut oill, which helped a lot! We got sunburnt really bad out on the boat and our chef went out of his way to bring us some aloe vera from his home. The lengths that everyone went through to make sure our stay was amazing was definitely appreciated and did not go unnoticed. Everyone went above and beyond and the maintenance of the property is in immaculate condition, as well as the snorkeling right in front of the house. We didn't even have to leave! We chose to just to explore other places and say we saw more, but really there's hundreds of starfish, sea urchins, sting rays, different fish, barracudas, and dolphins if you paddle board out in the mornings.. Behind the house we saw a ton of crabs, eight monkeys, about seven sloths, a snake, vultures, hawks, lizards, jesus lizards, plants, etc. We absolutely loved every minute of this trip in Casita del Mar. We can't wait to come back!

Incredible experience, Wonderful home, Awesome location!
We had a wonderful time! We stayed 5 nights and loved it! The home sits on the water so we watched the sunrise every morning and the still water looked liked glass. Erika was probably the best host we have ever had for a VRBO rental home. She communicated very well and took great care of us! The home was very well supplied with all amenieties and we did not run out. Thank you! We really appreciated good quality cookware and dishes as well. The home was very clean and had a very nice layout. We loved to sit on the front dock at night and watch the stars! The captains were great and they took great care of us. We would love to come back again soon! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. Bob and Tamara

Great stay
Overall really good stay. Erika was great at accomodating us, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins, rays, and octopi from the water outside the place. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful wonderful stay!
Casita Del Mar is amazing. The house is the nicest VRBO we've seen. It's beautiful inside and out, attractively decorated, and very well stocked with lots of thoughtful extra touches such as snorkeling and fishing gear, coconut oil for the no see-ums (it really does make a big difference!) and anti-itch serum, fresh coffee grounds with both drip coffee and espresso pots, oil/vinegar/spices, headlamps, rubber boots in an assortment of sizes, and so on. We loved eating breakfast and dinner on the deck while relaxing and admiring the view. The kayaks and SUPs were awesome, enabling us to explore our surroundings, and we saw 2 sloths on the trail behind the house as well as some beautiful flowers and also cacao trees. It was easy to get to the house by boat (arranged by the owner, so we didn't have to figure out how to get there). The location is nice--just a 30 minute scenic boat ride from town and easy access to a wide variety of activities and day trips, yet far enough away to relax and enjoy the peace. The bugs that are a part of life in the Bocas area were not that bad while we were there. There was more activity at dawn and dusk, but they didn't bother us at all in the evening or while sleeping. We did apply coconut oil during the daytime, and it worked well (and is great for the skin!). The owner replied swiftly, thoroughly, and cheerfully to our questions, and Erika gave us a warm onsite greeting and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend Casita Del Mar. We're so very glad we got to experience it!

Amazing Vacation
What a fantastic property and location to spend a week at, our group of 4 had an amazing vacation at Casita del Mar. From start to finish everything went very smoothly. The place is even better than advertised, there was so much to do and see whether at the house or out exploring the surrounding islands and waterways (which we did almost everyday using the boat and captain provided). This was not my first stay at an over the water home in Bocas but it was my best, the property is very well taken care of and has just about everything you could imagine provided for an unforgettable vacation. We enjoyed excellent snorkeling and fishing as well as beautiful beaches with lush jungle backdrops surrounded by wildlife and lots of good food and great people. We hope to make it back again and will certainly plan on staying at Casita or Casa when we do.
