About this villa rental
Casa del Mar is an eco aqua villa built over the Caribbean sea in Dolphin Bay, on Isla Cristobal in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama.
It is the sister villa to Casita del Mar which was built in 2017 which is located 3 lots over (150 yards apart) and can accommodate groups of up to 7 guests. Both Villa's can be rented together to accommodate 13 guests total. See listing # 4447308
The villa is situated on a mile long coral reef in a remote location approx. 25 minutes boat ride from Bocas town/airport. To get there, you would fly to Bocas del Toro Airport on Air Panama and we'll meet you at the airport, your transfer via boat from Bocas town is included as part of your stay.
Our goal is to offer guests an intimate experience with nature where you can relax in comfort while at the same time minimizing the impact on the environment through off grid living.
Casa del Mar was construction in 2012 of local natural building materials offered by the rich resources of the region. The result is a close to nature ambiance. From you're private 44 foot terrace, you will be able to observe impressive sunsets interrupted only by frolicking dolphins.
Feel immersed in the sounds of nature while lounging on the terrace sipping a drink, watching exotic birds in the thatched jungle tree house casita or soaking in the terrazoo bathtub while gazing towards the jungle after snorkelling in the calm protected waters in front of the villa.
Learn how to coexist with the most advanced earth friendly renewable energy systems. Solar panels provide electricity to the villa, double filtered rain water that supplies pristine water and an advanced engineered waste system.
You can rent the villa and be entirely independent or you can rent it with optional extras such as a local Caribbean Cook (with or without shopping service) Masseuse, Boat Captain/Tour Guide and Housekeeper.

Our group of three had a great week here. The location is unbelievably stunning. Probably the best equipped property we’ve ever rented. Thanks for a great week. Recommend having Jose cook some while you are there.

Ericka answered all our inquiries she was a fantastic host. Our only negative experience was the almost constant rain during a period of forecasted ‘dry’ season. Katherin and Jose were excellent cooks. The No Name restaurant was exceptional, the Blue Dolphin was a unique experience and the hosts were wonderful.

This was my family’s first trip to Bocas and this property was the main reason I wanted to visit this area of Panama. My husband, adult kids and their partners stayed at the property for a week and it was amazing, despite the rainy weather. The house was setup perfectly with 2 upstairs bedrooms and a shared bath. Downstairs there was a bedroom and bath that also opened into the main living area. The property is very remote but it’s worth the trip. We loved being on the calm Caribbean side of the ocean with access to snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking right out our front door. We also loved access to the hiking trails at the back of the property where we saw many sloths, howler monkeys, birds and other wildlife. My husband and I spent a night in the treehouse and got to wake up to the jungle coming alive at daybreak. The hosts were great and we took advantage of Jose’s culinary skills when he made us the best meal of our trip for dinner. We had in home massages and we visited the bat cave. We also spent the only sunny day we had at starfish beach. Another very cool part of the trip was the on property caretaker’s 2 dogs. They were so sweet and kept us company and safe. We also met some neighbor dogs while out hiking that walked with us. It truly was magical and I would definitely go back to Panama. Brush up on your Spanish, as while most locals speak a little English knowing a little Spanish is definitely helpful.

Casa del Mar is the perfect getaway! The house is away from the noise of Bocas Town but just a short boatride from just about any adventure you could want. The house was perfectly clean and supplied and the tree house was an amazing way to experience nature in comfort. We couldn't have enjoyed it more.
