Summary: Love the house and the property, and all the excursions you can take in the area. Property manager(s) are very helpful with everything we needed.
Robert L. Apr 4, 2023 09:52:22 AM
Summary: Great property and great host family! We loved everything about our trip! Everything is as advertised. So many great things to say about our trip that it would be too long to type them all out. Recommend this property and Bocas del Toro as a destination.

Summary: We had a great stay here. This house is located in a gorgeous location. It has amazing snorkeling right outside. Erika was great at answering our questions. And Victoriano took us on a great hike behind the house and made sure we got good pictures of all the animal we saw.
Paula T. Feb 23, 2022 01:32:34 PM
Summary: The positive reviews here said it all. I don't need to repeat. I've rented from vrbo for so many years and this house is the best equipped. Everything you need for a fun, relaxing, enjoyable stay is provided. All the storage areas are so well organized. The host team led by Erika made our stay so comfortable and accomodated our various wishes of activities to the utmost. The bites from the no-see-ums still itch but it's a price to pay for being so immersed in nature and all its other beauty. We wish to be back soon:)

Summary: The property is very nice. As advertised. Kitchen and amenities are ok. Do not expect superior comfort as there is no air conditioning and fans, while helpful, don’t do the same job ac does. The owner was very clear about this and she was right! Some negatives: the water around the property is very shallow and there is no way to dive off the deck. Sea urchins abound, so transit requires caution. Reef for snorkeling is not right out front if the house as stated. It’s a 15 minute boat ride and frankly nothing to brag about. All in all it was fun. Staff was great throughout time there.
Dan M. Oct 11, 2019 07:38:59 PM
Summary: This Casa is situated over the water. You can kayak to many mangrove islands. The water is loaded with starfish and you can easily snorkel to see coral. The water is very clear. We hiked the trails around the casa and saw a great deal of different plants. We also saw sloths in the trees. Some of our group saw howler monkeys. We all heard them from time to time. Erica is the property manager. Sh

Summary: From start to finish it was an amazing experience! Place as beautiful as it looks!! Katarina, Jose and Jose Maria are as helpful and gracious as we could have wished! If you are looking for a relaxing and beautiful place this is it! Ask Jose to take you to the picturesque snorkeling spot, and to No Name Restaurant.... for unforgettable experiences!

Summary: We really enjoyed our time in Casa Del Mar - place is great and such a beautiful location. House had everything we needed and could want. Only thing that could have been better was the weather - lots and lots of rain, which prevented us from doing some of the things we had hoped to do. On the other hand, we relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of the place - which is much needed with our hectic lives.
Erich E. Aug 5, 2019 02:07:16 PM
Summary: Very nice property that is 30 minutes by boat to anything. A true vacation away from everything but still with the comforts of home (except AC). House location,etc was amazing and you must sleep in the tree house. One of our best vacations ever.
Clara J. Jul 10, 2019 09:50:58 PM
Summary: The location and the house are beautiful - you are completely off the grid and must boat every where. The upstairs toilet was broken and several lights didn't work. Plan carefully because if you run out of anything, it is a trip to Boca for supplies for an additional fee. Geckos and insects roam freely inside and out.
