Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bocas del Toro

Abracadabra was a wonderful place to stay in Bocas. We were a family of four, two adults a 6 year old and a baby. Very clean with all the necessities for cooking. We enjoyed the feeling of being in the jungle. We were visited by monkeys and hummingbirds and saw a toucan on the property. It is a very close walk to Bluff Beach which is postcard perfect. Walkable to many restaurants nearby. Bluff beach is not great for swimming or surfing but nice for walking and relaxing. All Bocas activities leave from town which is a 20-30 min drive. We rented a car but taxis are easily called. Although it meant a bit of a trip to town every time we wanted to do an adventure, it was worth it to feel the nature and seclusion of Bluff Beach at the start and end of each day. Nicole was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this stay if you don’t mind the journey to and from town to get to all other Bocas experiences.

Un vrai coin de paradis… atypique, accueillant, on se sent chez soi.. On a adoré la terrasse en bois qui donne l’impression d’être en pleine nature. On a adoré cette maison colorée, bien équipée, qui allie charme, simplicité, et chaleur On a adoré cette petite plage privée (rarement partagée avec d’autres locataires), plage privée si rare à bocas On a adoré le ponton, qui permet de voir aussi bien le lever que le coucher du soleil On a adoré la proximité avec petits commerces et resto On a adoré notre hôte Benson, qui a été pour beaucoup dans le fait qu’on se soit sentis si bien chez lui. Il est hyper réactif, fait son possible pour que vous soyez à l’aise, toujours très serviable : un immense merci benson, tu es un hôte au top

My son and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bluff Jungle House Laurel, and I can confidently say it was a slice of paradise that surpassed all my expectations! Nestled in the jungle, this two-story home provided the perfect mix of serenity and comfort. The exceptional service from the entire team truly made our stay memorable. Antonio was incredibly helpful and a lifesaver, while Mayra, the co-host, and Wendy, who attended to our service needs, were always ready to fulfill any requests, whether it was cleaning or laundry, making us feel completely at home. The house itself was spotless and well-designed, offering a sense of privacy that made it feel like our own secluded oasis. You genuinely feel as though you're in your own world here, with neighbors barely visible. My stay was filled with unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever. If you're seeking a tranquil retreat in a breathtaking location, look no further—this is the perfect destination!

My husband and I came to Panama for the first time along with another couple. The house was perfectly appointed, so much so that we all felt like we could live there permanently. The photos scarcely do the place justice. The large porch was fabulous and we spent much of the time there. The beds were comfortable and it was easy to take a water taxi where you needed to go. Steve, the host, gave great recommendations. Pat attention to his instructions if you are staying here. Everyone made us feel very welcome. Tera and Jesse, the owners were so gracious and hospitable. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a place off the beaten path and outside of Bocas Town.

Our little family lives every moment spent at the villa! We felt an amazing combination of luxury and home like feeling. Everything was clear, clean, well thought through! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for the amazing stay!

10 Star Rating in our book!! Our stay at the Pool House at Paunch was exceptional to say the very least!!! First of all, Joanna is not your average host... she goes above and beyond in every way! She communicated with me multiple times before our trip and was open to any questions I had. She provides her guests with an invaluable amount of information which 100% made our trip beyond our wildest imagination! She provides this info via a link that can be printed for your reference which I HIGHLY encourage everyone do. We used this information everyday as a guide. EVERYTHING she recommends is the absolute best! She even has breakfast in the refrigerator for your first morning there! We loved every single thing about the house and location!! We felt so at home there! The pool was such a bonus! She is always available to help in any way. We would absolutely stay with her again. We left Bocas feeling like we had made a new friend. She puts her heart and soul into her properties!

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.

A beautiful place to hide out from the world for a while. While only a short walk from Old Bank and close to lots of other houses, the cottage felt very private. Wonderful sea breezes, beautiful view and tropical gardens, falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night was such a treat. We loved the little beach and swimming hole just out front. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen well-equipped. Tons of fans everywhere. Nina and Nesto were super responsive to any questions or requests that we had. A great stay!

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!

5 jours incroyables Alex a été très réactif, très présent, prévenant. L’endroit est superbe, entre terre et mer, vue splendide, le gîte est tellement incroyable, un vrai petit cocon, la petite minette 🐈‍⬛ passe faire son tour tous les jours, câlins bisous. On l’adore La salle de bain grande, 2 grandes chambres avec Clim, très grand espace de vie, cuisine bien équipée. Il y a tout. À proximité de resto ( ciao pizza je recommande ) Taxi juste en bas pour vous emmener en ville en 10 minutes, 3 dollars par personne pour aller en ville, les taxis sont aussi géniaux. Pour conclure, le Airbnb d’Alex est vraiment vraiment genial ! Ps : attention aux guiboles on monte légèrement, c’est sur une petite colline mais vous allez en prendre plein les yeux !

Beautiful little apartment super central. All the amnesties are available, especially a lot of cooking tools. Host super helpful and friendly ❤️ We felt extremely comfortable, definitely recommended for Bocas del Toro stay

Mi experiencia en este hospedaje fue excelente. El lugar es tal como se muestra en las fotos: limpio, cómodo y con una ubicación ideal. El anfitrión fue muy atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudar y brindar recomendaciones locales. Me sentí como en casa desde el primer momento. Sin duda, lo recomendaría y volvería a hospedarme aquí en futuras visitas. ¡Gracias por todo!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez Ricardo et sa famille. La casita est située sur leur propriété au sein d’un beau jardin. Le quartier est calme et pourtant à 12 minutes en taxi ou scooter de Bocas. Vous avez le petit restaurant Dosha à 3 min à pied qui est excellent ou le Skully’s à 5 min à pied qui vous permettra aussi de louer scooters, quads, vélos etc… Ricardo est un super hôte. Il a été très réactif, prévenant, amical tout en respectant notre intimité. Il nous a même permis d’arriver bien avant le check-in et de partir bien après le check-out ! Merci encore Ricardo ;-)

Lugar perfecto y cerca de las islas. Todo muy limpio y la señora super atenta. Gracias!

Beautiful balcony view! Amazing host! :)

El lugar está como en las fotos, muy cerca de la playa y restaurantes. Muchas gracias por compartir tu hogar.

Danielle's place is perfect, very clean, comfortable, is completely quiet during the night, the internet is fast.. it has everything you need for a nice stay. But the most important aspect is the location. It's basically in Colon's central area, you have the supermarket about 2 blocks, restaurants of all kind, the airport is just 3 blocks distance. This is the most perfect location, we will definitely return.

Esta fue nuestra segunda vez hospedándonos en este lugar y, sin duda, seguirá siendo nuestra primera opción cada vez que regresemos a la isla. La ubicación es excelente, el espacio es cómodo, limpio y bien cuidado, y el anfitrión siempre está pendiente de que todo esté perfecto. Nos sentimos como en casa. ¡Gracias por otra estancia maravillosa!

The place was as expected or better, the location is fantastic because it's in the center area but still not too close to the noisy places, being on the 3rd floor helped. I'd go back to Dea's place, no question about it. There are cheaper and more expensive options around but I think this is a very good sweet spot, everything was clean, we felt safe and comfortable at all times! We had no trouble with the stairs but keep in mind that if you go with someone who has difficulty walking, going up to the 3rd floor where the condo is will be a challenge, we were totally ok with that and as long as you have no mobility impediments, the place is easy to get to. There was a minimal confusion about the locking mechanism at the front door, the bottom locker was loose and we thought it would be a problem but Dea was very responsive and explained how to use the top locker, which was totally fine and eased all our worries. I would recommend it and come back as well.

Bill was a gracious host and knew the island like the back of his hand. I would 1000% recommend his place to anyone looking to come to Bocas. He’s is extremely helpful and accommodating. Thanks!
