The Ultimate Beach House - Houses for Rent in Bastimentos, Provincia de Bocas del Toro, Panama

Our family couldn’t have imagined the more perfect paradise than here! The crystal water, the secluded home but the unbelievably amazing family dinners at Au Naturale next door made it unforgettable! Highly recommend!!

Fateem and family thank you so much for your stay and your lovely review. You are welcome anytime to share this small piece of paradise.

Beautiful house, all open, feet in the water with a very nice environment. It's a bit like the luxury version of Robinson Crusoe 😉 It is possible to cook by shopping in Bocas before arriving but I recommend the restaurant Al Natural, a 3-minute walk away, which makes very good meals. Sunanda and Vincent are very good at giving advice and make check-in very easy.

Maison magnifique, toute ouverte, les pieds dans l’eau avec un très bel environnement. C’est un peu la maison de Robinson version luxe 😉 Il est possible de faire la cuisine en faisant ses courses à Bocas avant d’arriver mais je vous conseil le restaurant d’Al Natural à 3 minutes à pied qui fait de très bons repas. Sunanda et Vincent sont de très bon conseils et permettent une arrivée très facile.

Thank you so much! Glad you guys enjoyed our little piece of paradise. You’re always welcome back!

Sunanda is a warm and responsive host who communicated clearly before and during our stay. She met us at the dock, walked us to the grocery store, and shared helpful local tips along the way. She also owns an Indian restaurant in town, and we arranged for a meal to be delivered to the house dock, delicious! The open-air house was an unforgettable experience for our family (ages 9, 12, and 15). We loved hearing the waves and jungle sounds day and night. Because it is open air and rained a lot during our four day stay, our clothes and sheets were damp, but this is to be expected. We were not bothered by the bugs, with only a few bites at night, so the mosquito nets over the beds and fans attached to the headboard definitely help! Lastly, Sunanda’s partner Vincent now lives at the home and is the chef at AL Natural Hotel, just a 3-minute walk away. For an additional charge, guests can join the hotel for a fantastic meal and great conversation with fellow travelers. High recommend!

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure meeting you all and walking around the town with you.

This place was amazing. Private, beautiful, lots of wildlife!  Being able to use the amenities next door was convenient and easy and the people were amazing!  Definitely book dinner reservations at the resort as Vincent is not only an amazing host but an extraordinary chef!

Nicole. Thanks so much for your review. It was a big pleasure to have you. Vincent will be thrilled 😁

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.

C'est un logement magnifique entièrement en bois pour les personnes en quête de nature et de tranquillité. Le son de la jungle et de la mer est omniprésent car la maison n'est pas complètement fermée. Donc les moustiques et autres bêtes sont inévitables à l'intérieur aussi. Mais c'est une belle expérience. Nous avons profité des repas du resort Al Natural à 3 minutes à pied, c'était exquis ! Merci à Sunanda, Michel et Vincent pour l'organisation et l'accueil.

Thank you so much. I am very happy you all enjoyed and next time you will go diving! Safe travels

We found the place even nicer and more special in real life than in the photos. It is very large and open and very close to the sea - the volume of the waves should not be underestimated at night. We had a very good time and would like to come back! (Since it is very open, you should not be too afraid of insects ;) )

Wir empfanden die Unterkunft in echt noch schöner und besonderer als auf den Fotos. Es ist sehr groß und offen und sehr nah am Meer - die Lautstärke der Wellen darf man nachts nicht unterschätzen. Wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit und würden gerne noch einmal vorbeikommen! (Da es sehr offen ist, sollte man nicht zu große Angst vor Insekten haben ;) )

Thank you Liz for your nice review. We would love to see you back anytime!

Love it. Short and to the point. Hope to see you all again some time!

We were two families with children. The place is really far from everything, 1 hour from the town by boat. You must bring everything you are going to eat. It's beautiful if you're looking to disconnect from the noise of the city. It's exactly as shown in the photos, the sea is spectacular and the sound of the jungle that is right behind is relaxing. There are many mosquitoes, so bring OFF. The place is magical and highly recommended. A guy named Irving helped us a lot with what we needed, a campfire and coconut water. My only observation is the poor lighting. At night if you return by boat there is no way to see where the house is. In general the house needs more lighting inside, on the dock and outside the house. The kitchen needs an upgrade, I brought everything to cook but I put my friend because I am very disgusting and I can't cook where I am disgusted by something. The kitchen is the only part of the house that is NOT nice. It does not give a clean feeling. As for everything else, excellent. We spent 4 dream days in this place and its

Fuimos dos familias con niños. El lugar es súper retirado de todo a 1 hora del pueblo en bote. Deben llevar todo lo que vayan a comer TODO. Es hermoso si buscan desconectarse del ruido de la ciudad. Es exactamente como en las fotos, el mar espectacular y el ruido de la selva que está justo atrás es relajante. Hay muchos mosquitos así que lleven off. El lugar es mágico y super recomendado. Un chico llamado Irving nos ayudó mucho con lo que necesitáramos Fogata, agua de coco. Mi única observación es la poca iluminación, de noche si regresan en bote no hay manera alguna de ver dónde está la Casa, En general la Casa necesita mas iluminación adentro, en el muelle y afuera de la Casa. La cocina necesita un upgrade, lleve todo para cocinar pero puse a mi amiga porque yo soy muy asqueante y no puedo cocinar donde me dé asco algo. La cocina es la única parte NO linda de la Casa, No da una sensación de aseo. Por todo lo demás excelente. Pasamos 4 días de ensueño en este lugar y sus

Kathya. Gracias por tu review de la casa. Te agradezco mucho. El asunto del ubicación es que si es lejos de bocas pero también está bien marcado en la mapa así que la gente que elegirán la casa lo hacen porque está lejos de “civilización “. Si no tenemos luces en el muelle porque normalmente la gente nunca llegan en bote por la noche y lo dejamos sin luce para que la gente pueden disfrutar a ver la cantidad de las estrellas y el mágico del cielo. Pero voy a revisar bien tu comentario de las luces adentro. Estoy muy alegre que disfrutaron el paraíso.

4 night idyllic stay! The place is beautiful and private. The house is very nice and well integrated into nature facing the beach. The pontoon is very nice. The hosts are very friendly, attentive and welcoming. We where enjoying of everything.

Séjour de 4 nuits idyllique ! Le lieu est magnifique et intime. La maison est très agréable et bien intégrée dans la nature face à la plage. Le ponton est très appréciable. Les hôtes sont très sympathiques, à l’écoute et accueillant. Nous avons tout adoré.

Stephanie merci beaucoup pour le très bon review!  😊

Beautiful location, great restaurants nearby, very remote. It felt like camping with beds and a kitchen/bathroom, you could hear the water all around you at night. Really friendly host and staff at the restaurant, they made me a birthday cake when they found out it was my birthday very last minute, sweet. There are definitely mosquitos at night, most of us were fine, but if you are a bit sensitive like some people, you will get bit. There are mosquito nets around the beds though, and little fans. Solar home. Definitely recommend the indigenous village walking tour.

Heh Molly. Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it. Thank you for also commenting on the mosquito nets. We are in the process of replacing them. Will ask Vincent about the wallet. Hopefully it shows up!  I’m sorry that happened.

Sunanda was very communicative and helpful. She answered all our questions promptly. We ordered a vegetarian dinner from her that was delivered right to our dock! She was an excellent host. 👍

Thank you Susan. Appreciated meeting you all!

Welcome to paradise, beach accommodation with a magnificent view. The house is very quiet without being isolated, it is a 3-minute walk from the Al Natural restaurant. The house is spacious and very well-equipped, it opens onto the sea, a real pleasure to wake up to this view. Mosquito nets and small bed fans are a real plus. The cuisine that Vincent offers at his restaurant is excellent, fresh and local products perfectly cooked. The atmosphere and the friendliness of sharing a large table is great. Vincent and his team are very nice, every shared moment leaves a great memory. They know their island perfectly, do not hesitate to call on them for activities. Our arrival went perfectly with a great welcome from Sunanda who patiently waited for us and was great. We can only recommend these hosts. Thanks again to all of you for making our stay so perfect. See you soon

Bienvenue au paradis, logement sur la plage avec une magnifique vue. La maison est très au calme sans pour autant être isolée, elle est à 3mins à pieds du restaurant Al natural. La maison est spacieuse et très bien équipée, elle est ouverte sur la mer un vrai plaisir de se réveiller avec cette vue. Les moustiquaires et les petits ventilateurs de lit sont un véritable plus. La cuisine que propose Vincent à son restaurant est excellente, des produits frais et locaux parfaitement cuisinés. L’ambiance et la convivialité de partager une grande table est super. Vincent et son équipe sont très agréables, chaque moment partagés laisse un super souvenir. Ils connaissent parfaitement leur île, n’hésitez pas à faire appel à eux pour les activités. Notre arrivée s’est parfaitement déroulée avec un super accueil de Sunanda qui nous a patiemment attendu et qui a été super. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ces hôtes. Merci encore à vous tous d’avoir rendu notre séjour aussi parfait. À bientôt

We loved staying at Sunanda’s and Vincent’s Airbnb! Sunanda met us at our boat into Bocas and her warmth immediately made us feel at ease. The house itself is stunning, a lovely space to spend time in. It’s open to the outside, so takes a little getting used to, and visitors need to be prepared for the mosquitoes (nets around beds helped but additional measures also needed) and occasional other creatures! We did a couple of excursions through Al Natural (the resort that the Airbnb is connected to) which were well organised, and we saw lots of wildlife (sloths, red frogs, cayman, monkeys and more). We ate at the resort one evening and also enjoyed excellent cocktails most nights at sunset! Sunanda cooks Indian food and we ordered some one evening which was delivered by boat that day and was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this Airbnb for a unique and special stay.

Thank you so much for your review and your stay. It was a pleasure to meet you guys!

My friends and I stayed at Sunanda’s Airbnb in Bastimento, Bocas del Toro was nothing short of amazing. Sunanda is an exceptional host, making sure that every detail is taken care of and that guests feel welcomed from the moment they arrive. The property itself is a perfect blend of comfort and the natural beauty of the island, with stunning views, cozy accommodations, and a peaceful ambiance that invites relaxation and disconnect from our daily world . One of the standout highlights was the food — an incredible culinary experience. The dinners were thoughtfully prepared, offering three-course meals that felt like dining at a five-star restaurant. The flavors were exquisite, showcasing fresh, local ingredients and creative dishes. The staff working there were warm, attentive, and professional. Sunanda’s local tips and thoughtful touches added so much to the experience, making it feel like a home away from home. If you looking for peaceful gateway and great tours, I highly recommend thi

Batool thank you so much for your amazing review. It was so easy with you. Loved our little walk and it was a pleasure to host you!

Cannot say enough of things about Sunanda and Vincent’s beautiful eco house! It is private, remote, and the views are stunning! We stayed here for a whole week and enjoyed dinners every night at the resort, as well as the arranged excursions. With the open walls and windows, This is definitely more of a rustic stay, so be prepared for natural settings, mosquitos, and friendly nature roommates! 🦎 we loved our time here, and are so happy we picked this wonderful spot with gracious hosts who were so kind to us and our kids!

Awww. Thank you so much Heidi. I am so happy you guys had a wonderful experience. You’re always welcome back!

My husband and myself spent 5 nights in this home. The location is just stunning. Perfectly white beaches that you can walk in each direction. The home is very unique and built by the local people. We enjoyed the access to Au Natural down the beach, meal reservations required but never a problem. We booked all excursions through them also. So, you have the privacy of a home, but with the benefits of a small resort.

This is the true definition of paradise in an amazingly beautiful and unique home.  The wonderful hosts, the access to the tours and meals at Al Natural resort, and the peaceful, slow, and easy vibe of this side of the island all make this home a treasure.

Thank you so much!  Even though we didn’t meet face to face it was a pleasure and Vincent adored you guys!  So glad you enjoyed our little piece of paradise.

Amazing place, great location. Pictures don’t do the test test, the house is amazing and the beach is private and secluded. Would come back there with pleasure. ￼

We stayed here as a family of parents and 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 10. The huge house is a work of art in the tropics. Open air on top floor (with a roof and great mosquito nets around all the large, comfy beds). Felt right at home, surrounded by nature. Our kids barely wanted to wander far from the surrounding area because there was so much interesting ecology to discover right there. Closest neighbors were a highway of leaf cutter ants, tropical birds, and hermit crabs, yet the Au Natural resort is a 5 minute walk down the beach, and we enjoyed several outstanding meals there (reserved 24 hours in advance).  Recommended tours were wonderful (Salt Creek, Up in the Hill). This is NOT a giant resort/cruise ship type situation (we dislike that sort of thing). It is a 35min boat ride from town of Bocas, well planned by hosts, (greeted at airport). Can't wait to return to this sanctuary. fyi, upstairs loft balcony has some large-ish gaps that younger kids/babies need supervision

Thank you so much for kind review. We will definitely look into your nice constructive feedback about certain things. We loved having you and hope you’ll come back someday.

We lived in Paradise there. Such a nice place to be. Everything was fine. The house and the beach was beautiful. The village Salt Creek is also a must to see.

This place is magical ECO travel. We had my family and friends there to celebrate my birthday. The place is owned by Sunanda and her business partner Vincent. Vincent ia the head chef of AL Natural resort that is a 3 minute walk. He arranges all the logistics and tours and made an amazing birthday meal for us. The place is like 5 star Glamping . It has all natural airflow and is off grid. Mosquitos are very present so come prepared . We spent 8 days and could shower , cooks and use great wifi. We cooked most of our meals after shopping in town (35 minute boat ride) . Vincent can arrange deliveries as well. Loved the place and would recommend for a once in a lifetime experience
