Monthly Rentals in Playa Bluff

It feels like a treehouse in the jungle with the sounds of the wildlife and ocean waves in the background. Gloria’s house is not only beautiful but a very peaceful place to stay, incredibly relaxing. There is a bar on the beach and a few restaurants nearby, definitely recommend The Hummingbird for food. There are also two good swimming spots that you can get to after a walk through the jungle and along the beach; La Piscina and the Blue Lagoon. Maybe take a picnic and make an afternoon of it? The house is about 20 minutes from town so it’s a good idea to get some supplies when you first arrive before heading there. Gloria was a great host and Will, the chap who takes care of the house, was also great and they both speak Spanish and English. You’ll be in good hands here. Best of all, how wonderful to wake up in the morning and discover that you are having breakfast with monkeys, eating bananas from a tree right next to you. This is a special place that I shall not forget.

What a lovely place and the most excellent hosts! We had a wonderful time as a family (with young kids). We walked to La Piscina our first day upon arrival and saw howler monkeys in the trees above us and a sloth in a tree alongside the path. Our surf lessons with Esquela Del Mar on Isla Carenero was one of our favorite days. The place is exactly as the description and photos. The fans provide great air circulation, the kitchen is great for preparing meals (or walkable to restaurants), the porch is beautiful and comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious and gorgeous. We loved our stay!

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.

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.
