Perfect for Families, Surfers and Nature-Lovers!!

Casa de K Beach House is a bright, spacious, and airy 2000+ sq ft home built on a 1/2 acre. It is the perfect home for large or small groups (accommodates up to 8 people). On the main floor (2nd level, up a set of stairs) there is a Master Suite (with a/c, balcony access, ocean view and a private bathroom), a Junior Suite (with a/c, jungle views and a shared bathroom), and a loft (with two double beds and a shared bathroom, up another set of stairs). The ground floor (1st level, separate entrances than the main house) has two rooms each with a set of bunk beds and a shared bathroom. There is hot water available throughout the house. There is a large storage area for all your gear, as well as a washer and dryer.

The house offers a relaxing living area with plenty of sitting room for all, as well as a large balcony with majestic ocean and island views. There is also a small balcony in the back to enjoy the alluring jungle scene. While sitting on the balconies, one can be serenaded by the ocean waves and jungle noises (birds, howler monkeys, tree frogs, etc). The balconies are perfect spots for enjoying the surrounding landscape filled with tropical foliage (plants, flowers and fruit trees) which draws a variety of tropical birds.

The kitchen is well-stocked: mugs, wine glasses, drinking glasses, etc. Plasticware and ceramic plates & bowls. A new stainless steel fridge. A new propane stove. A new water dispenser. Coffee pot & bean grinder. Blender. Pots & pans. Microwave. Toaster oven. Juicer… and more.

The house is located in a peaceful setting just outside of town and is close enough to easily enjoy the local charm of Bocas Town. There are three to five full-service restaurants within walking distance to the house, and many more just minutes away by bike or vehicle. It is a pleasant, culture immersing 45-60 minute walk to the center of Bocas Town.

This home offers a spacious, comfortable and relaxing location to hang out, but also provides a secure home base while you explore all the area has to offer - exploring Isla Colon and surrounding islands: hiking, swimming, boogie boarding, surfing, taking a catamaran tour, fishing, snorkeling/diving, sampling local cuisine, shopping, taking Spanish classes, ATV tours, e-bike adventures, viewing wildlife, horseback riding, looking for shells, etc.

Upon arrival in Bocas del Toro, property management staff can help arrange taxis for transportation and grocery shopping, as well as tours, and any other services you may be interested in.

This house is perfect for those who want to kick back and relax in a place where the untouched tropical rain forest meets the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean!

Had an amazing time!
I thought the location was great. I love the sound of the ocean and the crashing waves right out front was amazing! Tyson was great with helping us find great people to take us on guides, kitchen was well equipped. The only things I think could have made it a little better would be better pillows, the mattress was really firm and I sleep on a firm mattress at home but these were very firm and the trees blocked a good portion of the view. Overall this is a great place to stay with lots to do close by.

Comfortable and convenient stay
The house is in a nice location not too far from Bocas Town and next to a few restaurants in walking distance. The bunk bedrooms were downstairs and outside (separate from the main house) and only 1 had air conditioning and neither had safety rails for the top bunk. The second bedroom inside the home did not have a closed in ceiling so was also like a loft in that sense. Overall the bedrooms were not as expected. You can listen to the ocean waves from the balcony which was lovely, but we were disappointed to find out the beach was only for advanced surfers and not for swimming. The hosts are very helpful and communicative, and gave great recommndations. Bocas is a lovely island and we were able to enjoy it, we were just surprised by the bedrooms and accessibility to the beach.

Communication/Customer Service not great
I was not happy with the communication/customer service from the property manager, Lorenna. Her emails were sporadic and abrupt. Leading up to my trip it was difficult to get info from her. Then she told me the house wouldn't be ready at check in time. She said she would recommend I go to lunch and shopping. My family had taken 3 flights and also were recovering from colds and did not feel like leaving our bags in a cab and walking around town. I was nice about it and told her we would patiently wait outside, which we did with no complaints. Then on check out day, I asked for a little flexibility on time, but she would not even give a half hour. She bluntly stated that the cleaning crew would be there promptly at 11am (which they were not). In addition, on the day we arrived in Bocas she had said she was sending a ride for us. I thought this was a kind courtesy gesture. When the driver dropped us off at the house, he asked for $20. We thought he was scamming us. We don't speak Spanish so could not sort it out with him and just paid him. The house itself was spacious with good AC. As others have stated, it's not totally clean. It was dusty/dingy and had things like empty hand soap bottles in the restrooms (No soap or shampoo provided). At any rate, it's a nice house, but not the best service or cleanliness.

What a great vacation!
We absolutely loved our 8 night stay at Casa de K! Our family of five (three teenagers) all had our own beds and good spaces. The house is beautifully constructed of tropical hardwood. The kitchen was fully equipped and we cooked a lot of meals for ourselves. Lots to do in the area - especially if you like tropical Caribbean paradise 😎. Wish we had more time there! Thanks Kristin, for a great family vacation!

Great getaway
It was great all around. Kristin and her team arranged for our transportation from the airport to the property. We enjoyed the locally made welcoming gifts they left for us. The location was perfect…it was quiet, close to good surf, & restaurants. Located about 10 min away from downtown. The house was perfect! Wake up to the sound of the ocean and start your day with a surf or a cup of coffee/fresh coconut water on the porch with an ocean view. Looking to just relax…the hammocks on the deck are perfect! If you’re looking for an adventure, go snorkeling or rent an atv and head to the jungle to see sloths, monkeys, and much more! We loved it here and will definitely return!

Nice home in great location
Our group of 8 had a nice time staying in this home. We were greeted a the Bocas airport by a nice member of the management agency who even took us to a grocery store before heading out to the house and showing us around. The home has a wonderful deck with two hammocks and comfortable furniture overlooking the tropical front yard and the ocean beyond. The sound of the crashing waves was constant and soothing! We loved the location - just outside of the hustle and bustle of town but easy to get there. We thoroughly enjoyed Skully's beach bar and restaurant nearby - great food, drinks, and staff! We rented golf carts (Bocas Carts) and they were perfect for getting around. We even went all the way across the island to Drago and then took a boat to Starfish Beach. (Although we highly recommend Playa Bluff over Starfish!! It's much closer, less crowded, huge, and stunning!) The kitchen in the house was adequately stocked and had working appliances. The bathrooms were nice and the hot water was plentiful. The living room furniture could use some updating, and we had an issue with ants (they bite!) but remember you're in the jungle! (Don't leave food open and out, even in backpacks. We kept a lot of things in the fridge.) The "bunk rooms" and bathroom downstairs were not what I was expecting. Only one had air conditioning, they are very sparse and each opens onto an open-air carport with a small bathroom across the carport. These rooms weren't set up well for our group of teenagers so they ended up in the loft of the main house which was comfortable but offered less privacy than they hoped. It's not fancy but all in all we had a great time here and would recommend this location for your tropical paradise vacation!

Relaxing, comfortable seaside house.
This place had plenty of room, the room were nice and had A.C. Hammocks on the porch with a sea view made for an awesome morning with coffee. The Kayak was fun to take out on the ocean nearby. I recommend this place for any family or group, I was impressed with the nice interior.

Fun Stay
The property was as listed and Chris was accessible for extra gas tanks. The area is great for surfing Bluffs, Panche, and Pakis. Pakis point and Skully’s is where we spent a lot of time. There were really only two issues. The previous renters had dogs and although they tried to clean the best they could we had to clean the dog hair everyday. The other issue was the two leaking AC units. Seems like their drains were clogged causing leaking on the floors. We spent a lot of time cleaning and drying it.

Large house with wildlife all around
The property: Exactly as described in the website. This is a large two-storey house, just across the road from the ocean. In keeping with the building style for this area, the main living quarters (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room and balcony) are reached by an outdoor staircase. One of the three bedrooms is a loft overlooking the living room. A laundry/storage room, two small bedrooms with bunk beds, and a bathroom are on the ground floor, with doors that open onto the car-port. Upon arrival, there were a few maintenance issues which were very quickly corrected. It was very hot outside during our stay, and the AC in the house was greatly appreciated. On or near the property, there are howler monkeys, sloths, geckos and lots of birds; the sloths were especially exciting for the kids in our group. There are two restaurants within walking distance, one of which has a swimming pool and other activities. The beaches nearby are good for experienced surfers, but were not ideal for swimming when we were there because one needed to cross a fairly wide shallow rock/coral area to get to water deep enough to swim in. (This is not a comment on this house; it’s just a characteristic of Isla Colón, except for Starfish Beach and Boca del Drago.) The arrival: We were greeted at the airport by people from the property management firm who drove us to the house after stopping at a grocery store so we could stock up on food and other necessities. The service while there: We had small children with us and were concerned that the railings on the loft and outdoor staircase were unsafe (several posts were missing). The property managers quickly brought us some rope that we used to secure the loft railing. Two other maintenance issues that arose while we were there (a leaky faucet that was causing the pump to run frequently, and an AC unit that failed) were corrected the same day that we reported them. We really appreciated the quick and efficient response to these concerns. The departure: Kristin granted our request for a late checkout, which made our life much easier with small children and a lot of luggage. In summary, we enjoyed our stay and found the service to be efficient and friendly. We recommend this house, which was very comfortable for our group of 6.

Enjoyed our stay so much. Became one with the hammock for daily siesta. Location is perfect, 2 restaurants within walking distance. Skullys is amazing for breakfast lunch dinner and drinks. Paki point(right next door) has great food and the property is awesome. Everything was pretty much perfect from the day we booked til the day we checked out.

It is as advertised. The balcony and communal space is really nice.
The property is a nice communal space. The upstairs balcony has stunning views over the sea and the front garden is good for bird spotting. The kitchen and dining room area is well stocked. We were a party of 7 and my children stayed at the bottom of the house which each have their own door and locks. The rooms are basic and a bit musty, but fine for teenagers. The location is great as it is slightly out of town and near Skullys bar and also a great Pizza place too. We used taxis to get around, but you can hire bikes if you want. The house is clean and tidy and a great beach house. It's homely and I would recommend it if you want to enjoy Bocas but be a bit more independent.

Lovely place
3 really nice double rooms on the 1st floor, with a nice kitchen and a great balcony overlooking the crashing waves of Bocas Del Toro. The two dbl bedrooms on the ground floor are functional rather than beautiful, and the large balcony is where you will live. Really helpful and nice people run this house, making being here really easy. You do need transport to get into town though - 7 mins by taxi or 15 min by bike. I would rent this house again.

Nice place for a large group
We enjoyed our stay at Casa K. The property managers were very helpful and available for all of our needs. The property is beautiful, with ocean views in the front and tropical forest in the back. From the decks we heard howler monkeys and saw a sloth in the back yard, in addition to red lored parrots, various motmot and hummingbird, grosbeak, and various woodpecker - one pair was nesting in a yellow coconut in the front yard. A papaya fell from the tree in the back yard and it was the best papaya we have EVER eaten. The bathrooms are very nice and the beds were comfortable. We had several house gecko which provided for a lot of entertainment and bug control. Golf carts, although a bit pricey, are worth the cost. The town is a solid 3.5 miles from the house. We did not make it to the Botanic Garden which is just down the road on the way back to town. Do make reservations ahead of time, as they only offer limited times and days. The beach is narrow and not a good swimming beach, but good for a walk in the surf and shell collecting. The were some amazing breaks, which would appeal to a confident surfer. To the south, about 3/4 of a mile there is a sandy beach where swimming was pleasant with children. The house is comfortable and the deck is well furnished. A few improvements would make this place perfect. Several windows were missing screens, there were roaches and pests in the lower rooms, and the air conditioning was not working in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen would benefit by the addition of microwave safe plates, a muffin tin, sharpened knives, and a couple more pots and pans. Beach towels are not provided and this was an inconvenience, as we were traveling with small luggage. Overall, the service provided by Chris and Shiela was outstanding. The town is quaint with a wide variety of bars and placed to eat. The location is secluded, but close enough to town. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Beautiful property right on the beach in Bocas!
This is a great home outside of Bocas town with beach in front of it and jungle behind it! We spent the mornings watching wildlife in the yard. One morning we saw a mama sloth with a baby climbing around, a couple mornings we saw monkey families jumping around and eating, and every morning we saw all kinds of lovely birds- it was so special! The beds and pillows could have been a bit more comfortable, but everything else about the home was great! It was open, clean and spacious. The front porch is perfect for hanging out in the evenings. There are a couple of great bar/restaurants in walking distance. Bocas town isn't walkable, but taxis went by or could be called easily, and it seemed to be a standard $3 per person rate for the ride. The beaches in this area aren't great for swimming, but you can easily take a boat from Bocas town to a good swimming beach, like Red Frog Beach. Chris and the management company were super helpful and responsive! They picked us up from the airport, had a cell phone for us at the house with their numbers and taxi numbers, and were available for any questions or extra help we needed. I'd definitely stay at one of their places again!
