This had to be one of my favorite vacations! It is truly a bit of paradise. All of the people that help out were wonderful. The building and surrounding property were beautiful. We took several hikes, visited the chocolate farm on the island and saw 6 sloths pretty close thanks to the owners daughter who joined our tour . Really recommend this tour.We snorkelled right in front of the place along with a few other places. Very nice!The best thing is the pace of life you become part of here.

Wonderful Family Vacation

A perfect combination of private accommodations with access to a personal captain to travel to some of the amazing places the area has to offer. Plenty of wildlife including: Dolphins, starfish, sloths, monkeys, geckos, many types of fish and birds. Access to the kayaks and paddleboards was great too. Amazing how calm the water was a certain times of the day.

Casita del Mar was nothing short of spectacular. This house was absolutely stunning and everything we were looking for. It's only accessible by boat but once you book the house Julia's crew helps you ever step of the way getting to and from and enjoying all the local spots. She has made this vacation for us so enjoyable and seamless. The house is located away from Bocas del toro and so quiet and calm. The reef in front of the house is out of this world with starfish everywhere and the coral is the most amazing colors of blue, purple, green and yellow. Captain Jose, Katrin and Erika are all so amazing and made this vacation so memorable for my family. We highly recommend this place if you are a nature enthusiast then this is exactly what you are looking for. She provides all the water toys such as kayaks, paddleboards, boogie boards for Red Frog Beach, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc. Wash and dryer are also provided and well maintained. Kitchen has all the supplies. You just need to get need to stock up on groceries since there is not a store nearby. Beds were extremely comfortable. We are looking forward to renting again in the near future!

The house was lovely - well built, clean and with a well equipped kitchen - which is important since you have to eat in! Jose is a wonderful cook though! The host family is very attentive and quick to respond. The reef off the deck has colorful corals, sponges, urchins and starfish among eel grass. The water is shallow off the deck (about 2 feet) so no jumping in! The water is calm at dawn and dusk, so easy to paddle around the mangroves. The view is lovely across the water. Hiking behind the house we saw howler monkeys and assorted tropical flora. If you travel in the dry season, this would be a fantastic place. We did not (late May) and thunderstorms limited the snorkeling and kayaking, and rain showers made boat trips to other spots undesirable. The house relies on solar power, and when overcast the batteries take a full day to charge, meaning that you need to be very careful and miserly with power in order to have enough to run the fans at night and make coffee in the morning. When raining the caretaker will come to run the gas generator to charge the batteries. There was never enough power available to use the washer and dryer. The no see ums are a very real issue. I wasn’t bothered by them but others were eaten alive, no matter the preventive measures (oil, coverups) taken. Lastly, like in any isolated community, getting materials to replace broken things takes time - we didn’t have a working indoor shower for our stay since they were waiting on a replacement parts.

Beautiful stay on the water

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.

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!

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.

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.

Amazing Home and Hospitality

I had a wonderful time staying in Casa del Mar. From the moment we arrived at the airport we were guided and assisted by Erika. I really appreciated Erika's guidance in the grocery store as she helped me purchase the items for Jose's (the house chef) meal. Once we were dropped off at the house everything we needed was available to us from lounge pants to keep the bugs off to the rainboots, snorkel gear and kayaks.We went on a few tours which were arranged for us by Erika but I would have been just as happy staying on the property. The snorkeling off of the deck was a delight.We felt wonderfully taken care of and would recommend the house and family of caretakers (Erika, Katerin, Jose and Jose-Maria). Everyone was truly lovely. Thank you all.

Absolutions Amazing

Pick up, our stay, our tours and return were amazing! This family is so friendly and willing to help! We had Jose cook one evening! we had limited supplies and he made us an amazing meal. 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.

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!

Wow! Such an amazing place

The view from the house is breathtaking! We were so impressed with all the extras that were available and Included, paddle boards, kayaks, water shoes, hiking boots, snorkels and masks, all the kitchen extras including coffee, and cooking spices, even coconut oil to help protect against the no-see-ums. Pick up from Bocas was so well arranged, and very convenient, and they gave a wonderful tour of the house to get you settled. We definitely took advantage of the chef services which were delicious! We had an in home massage that was so relaxing right on the front deck with the amazing afternoon breeze that comes in everyday.Some of the best snorkeling right off the deck!! So good we didn’t even go diving on this trip. We had one very overcast night, and we could swim and see the bioluminescent right in front of the house. The hiking trails in the back of the house are phenomenal! We saw several sloths and howler monkeys. Every morning we got a glimpse of dolphins commuting near by and green parrots squawking by as they leave their nesting areas. Access to use Papa Jose/boat captain was wonderful! Not only is it incredibly convenient, takes away any stress, but he is great company as well! Highly recommend the chocolate tour, and the bat cave tour!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Could have been so much better. Not enough room allowed below to fully explain all the good and bad.

There were things we loved about this stay. The home was beautiful, and the staff we did meet were wonderful. If the owners or caretakers had communicated more to us before the trip it would have been much better! Examples: The no-see-ums. If they had told us beforehand, we would have packed lightweight long sleeve shirts & pants. Instead, they told us when we walked in the door, and showed us a basket of long pants and told us to use those and coconut oil to protect ourselves. We did the best we could, but we were still covered in welts from the bites. If we had known, we would have packed accordingly. Also, it would have been nice to know that waterproof rain boots or hiking boots are required for hikes. They had several pairs, but the 3 of us all wear the same size (only 1 pair of that size), so we were either in tight boots or over-sized ones. My daughter and I did take a long hike one day and really enjoyed it, though it would have been even better if we had known and came prepared. We did a tour of Green Acres Chocolate farm which was fabulous, other than wearing the bad fitting boots. The other thing that REALLY should be communicated is "bring your own hard bottomed water/river shoes". They had 3 pairs and only 2 sort of fit. I had a pair, but they were soft on the bottom. There are sea urchins every 5 inches in the water, so no bare feet. It was very tricky getting on and off the paddleboard or kayak without stepping in the water. There were jellyfish everywhere for several days, but no mention in the "book" if they were stinging ones or not, so we just avoided going in the water. You can paddle out and swim past the coral, but you need to get on a kayak or SUP first. It rained on several of the days, which is fine, it is still beautiful, but we were stuck in the house- with one game, and 3 books (now 4 because I left one). Wifi only works sometimes. I did see the other house and saw that is where all of the books and games are. Why they couldn't move some of them to the newer house is beyond me. I emailed the caretaker about a beach trip, and she said she would plan it, but didn't get back to me because she was at the hospital with a friend. They told us to use Whatsapp, but since the Wifi didn't work most the time we couldn't. There was a phone, with numbers of some of the staff in it, but nobody ever made it clear who to call for what. Better pre-trip communication, and more attention given to casita guests. Never met caretaker.

Wow! Amazing place.

We had the most amazing time snorkeling the reef and being in the beauty of this place. As the listing says, their team will help you as much or as little as possible with things like cooking and planning day trips. Everyone who was there helping and hosting us was amazing. We loved every minute of it. Thank you, Julia, Erica, José Senior, José Junior, Katharine, Alejandra and anyone else behind the scenes who helps keep this property in such a beautiful state! We felt so well cared for while also experiencing the privacy and quiet of the remote beauty.
