Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Tierra Oscura

This was amazing! I really enjoyed the location and the sounds of nature—a beautiful space to relax. Beach is right there! There are a couple of things to fix, but I can understand given the remote location. There was a smell in the cabin that was not too pleasant and wouldn't go away. The large terrace doors in the living room were locked, and it would have been nice to use them for ventilation and convenience. The shower pressure is not so good. A suggestion: ask for more towels and extra bedsheets since they don't dry well in the jungle weather. The bed was very comfortable, the space in the house is very beautiful, and the kitchen had awesome pans for cooking. They offered basics like salt and oil for cooking, which is highly appreciated. The host was responsive, and I would definitely come back!

This is a beautiful all-wood home for people looking for nature and tranquility. The sound of the jungle and sea is ubiquitous as the house is not completely closed. So mosquitoes and other animals are unavoidable inside too. But this is a great experience. We enjoyed the meals from the Al Natural resort a 3-minute walk away, it was exquisite! Thanks to Sunanda, Michel and Vincent for the organization and hospitality.

The house is very nice, and is located right between the greenery, with great view of the jungle on one side and the coast by the front. It is small, although suitable for two people. The toilet is located right against the bed so there is not much privacy when using it

We had a wonderful stay at Red Frog Island Beach Resort, where Brett's house is located. The house is great, with a wonderful pool and grounds, large bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas, and a nice kitchen. Brett was communicative, often responding within minutes of my emails. He was also accommodating when questions or challenges arose. The resort is also great! The villas are spaced very far apart within a large forested area. My kids loved seeing sloths, monkeys, and red frogs. The Beach Club restaurant has a diverse menu and reasonable prices, and is well located next to a nice swimming pool and hot tub. Just past the pool is a great beach for walking along, wading in, and even doing some body boarding. The resort has an adequately stocked store, as well as a spa. Unless you enjoy walking and have time and energy for it, I recommend renting a golf cart during your stay. Having a golf cart made it much easier to get around.

We live in the Bocas archipelago and were looking for good place for a birthday get away that felt like a complete vacation without actually having to lease Bocas. This was AMAZING! Steve, Terra and Jesse made us feel at home instantly. The house is stunning, very spacious, surrounded by beautiful gardens (we actually enjoyed a sit in the grass under the coconut trees) and so close to a few different beach experiences (in front and to the right for some beach-ventures nearby). The kitchen is quite well equipped, house has lots of nice touches, very large terrace which was enjoyable rain or shine and we loved having so many seating options!! We used the kayaks one afternoon to explore the waters, which was super fun! They have lots of movies and game options as well. We enjoyed the house so much we barely left during our stay (ather than the few short trips to the beach)! I am pretty sure we all took videos to share with friends and family to make them all jealous, haha!!

best place to stay in Bocas, you can see this house is finished with perfection. A hidden gem!

We spent 7 nights here in early June (rainy season). Overall, we had a really amazing experience and would come back! The house is beautiful - just like the photos. We were worried about mosquitos but they weren't a big deal - the beds all have nice mosquito nets. My main critique: the beach immediately in front of the house that you see in the photos doesn't match reality - which was a little disappointing. There's a sea wall between the house and water and the sand has all been washed away and has some trash there. Not as pristine as the photos. That said, just to the left of the house is a long, beautiful beach with almost no one around. What else: The nearby indigenous village - Salt creek - and locals we met were amazing. Probably the best part of the whole experience. The tours / boat rides were really fun, but are expensive - make sure you discuss prices before you go. The family that meets you is awesome and around all the time if you need anything. We really enjoyed it!

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.

Very nice place! The photos don’t do justice. About a 10 minute walk from the “main strip”. Very big rooms, two bathrooms. There is also a washing machine which was ideal! Any problems and you get communication straight away!

Julieta’s place is a bit higher than the rest of Old Bank village, so it’s very quiet and peaceful. She has a big garden surrounded by big trees and bamboos specifically her jackfruit trees attracted many birds which we could observe every day from our room! The trail to Wizards’ beach is right at the corner where we saw a couple of sloths! She is very friendly person who cares about us all through our stay by messages, despite she was off the island. Highly recommended!

Perfect location and apartment! Very comfortable 🫶🏼

Staying at Edilberto’s Airbnb in Bocas del Toro was an absolute highlight of my trip! The apartment is modern, stylish, and spotlessly clean, with every detail thoughtfully arranged for comfort and convenience. The location is unbeatable—right on the main street of Isla Colón, making it easy to explore the vibrant town, beautiful beaches, and local attractions Edilberto is a true Superhost: welcoming, responsive, and always ready with great local tips to make your stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, we felt at home. The apartment had everything I needed, and the peaceful atmosphere made it perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. If you’re looking for a top-rated, centrally located, and immaculately maintained place in Bocas del Toro, look no further than Edilberto’s Airbnb. I can’t wait to come back and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Incredibly helpful communication. The area near the house looks a bit rough, but inside the house is a refuge. beautifully decorated with a really nice kitchen and hot water in the shower!

We had a pleasant stay at Ricardo's and his family's. La casita is located on their property in a beautiful garden. The neighborhood is quiet and yet 12 minutes by taxi or scooter from Bocas. You have the small restaurant Dosha 3 min walk which is excellent or Skully's 5 min walk which will also allow you to rent scooters, quad bikes, bikes etc… Ricardo is a great host. He was very responsive, considerate, friendly while respecting our privacy. It even allowed us to arrive well before check-in and leave well after check-out! Thanks again Ricardo;-)

The place is spaciousness and comfortable. Looks just like the photos. Right on the water. Advisable to have water socks as entering the water is a shallow reef. Great for taking a dip but not for swimming. Nadia and Salvatore are excellent, friendly, accommodating and attentive hosts. Great cooks too! We loved staying here. Warmly recommended.

Beautiful balcony view! Amazing host! :)
