Floating Home Sum-Beach Sum-Where Bocas del Toro in Bocas del Toro, Panama

Terrific place and location on a beautiful calm bay. As advertised. Dave and Shelly are very friendly and accommodating hosts. Had a great stay.

Where to begin! Shelley and Dave were very friendly, easy to reach and it was a very memorable moment at their floating house. We took a tour with them on their boat. They showed us many places (nice birds, beach, snorkeling, even dolphins!), it was really worth the additional charges! We could see a sloth and monkeys right near their house, do kayak and snorkeling around the floating house, look at the stars and ear the forest wake up in the morning from the bed (which were really comfortable). What a wonderful moment we had there. We would recommend 100%!

Very generous hosts. We stayed 4 nights so Shelley & Dave picked us up in town and took us grocery shopping which was super helpful. They know all the good places to eat and snorkel. We hired them for 3 days of boating and they took us all around and let us use their full face snorkel gear and pool noodles. Bring sunscreen, hat and coverup for the boat--not much shade on the boat & you can get toasty in the sun. Bocas del toro is beautiful!

Není snadné najít vhodná slova, která by dostatečně vystihovala naši zkušenost. Plovoucí dům, který patří Davidovi a Sally je něco z jiného světa. Jen si představte, že máte možnost strávit dovolenou na místě, které jste si vysnili v dětských snech. Pohádkový dům, plovoucí na vlnách Karibiku. Jenže tento sen je o to lepší, že je k němu ještě něco navíc. Protože tam kde Vaše fantazie končí, tam se David se Sally teprve rozehřívají. Postel připevněná řetězy je stropu, gril jako samozřejmá součást plovoucí jídelny. K dispozici jsou kajaky, které vás dovezou na neobydlené ostrovy, které máte coby kamenem dohodil. Tohle a ještě mnohem víc, je vám plně k dispozici. A když už si myslíte, že by to nemohlo být lepší, je tady David a Sally. Nejhodnější lidé na světě, kteří jsou kdykoli připraveni poradit, pomoci, nebo vzít svoji loď a strávit s vámi třeba celý den, na výletě. Nic není nemožné. A i když právě teď nic nepotřebujete, jsou tady pro vás, aby si s vámi jen tak popovídali. Doporučuji!

Encore merci Dave & Shelley ! Ce logement flottant atypique nous a ravis. À conseiller pour tous les aventuriers qui voudraient s’immerger entre mer et jungle panaméenne. Hôtes très sympathiques et plus que disponibles !

We stayed at Sum Beach in May. My mom and I stayed there while tying up some loose ends on a property we are buying in the nearby area. Dave picked us up in town, helped us get our groceries back to the property and we got the grand tour from Shelley (who has a shark eye for detail)! You won’t find nicer, more responsive hosts! They really went above and beyond for us, and we left feeling like a part of the family. We didn’t have time for excursions, but I have no doubt that any excursion would be a BLAST with these two fun-loving, vivacious hosts. Be sure to take a hike through the grounds on their mainland property, as the fora and fauna is truly stunning. Shelley has managed to create a try “Garden of Eden”. Good chance you’ll see a sloth or monkey too, but at the very least you’ll hear the wild jungle sounds and taste paradise like no where else on Earth! I highly recommend!

My friends and I had a great time at the Floating home. The location is tranquil and the water surrounding the house is perfect for swimming, kayaking, SUP, and starfish sightings. The upper deck has beautiful views with a comfy swinging bed and loungers. Was also great having an outdoor bar and separate BBQ area. The hosts have a nice boat and are available for custom excursions. Would recommend a stay at the floating home for a unique experience.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Dave/Shelley's rental & it was truly amaziing. Dave & Shelley made us feel welcome & went above & beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. In the morning, roosters would crow, fish would jump, parrots would sing & the howler monkeys howling in the distance. They took us on exceptional excursions. They were extremely knowledgeable of the area & tailored each excursion to unique site such as hidden beaches, starfish beach, monkey island, bird island, charming local shops, floating restaurants & so much more. It was an adventure filled fun you'll never forget. Dave/Shelley provided us with unforgettable experiences ensuring we had an incredible stay. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and exceptional daily excursions made it a truly memorable experience. If you're looking for a 5-star rental w/hosts who go above/beyond, we highly recommend booking Dave/Shelley. You won't disappointed!

Wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt. Es war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis in diesen Haus zu sein. Dave und Shelley haben unsere Wünsche erfüllt ,und waren super hilfsbereit. Auf Grund von Strassenblockaden konnten wir nicht die volle Zeit nutzen. Uns wurde ein kostenloser Transport zur Insel Colon hin und zurück angeboten. Unser Auto steht in dieser Zeit auf Dave und Shelleys Grundstück. Das habe wir dankend angenommen. Wir sind froh zwei so herzliche Gastgeber kennengelernt zu haben. Danke für alles von Herzen. Ralf und Annett

Our stay at Sum Beach Sum Where was a truly wonderful and unique experience. Our hosts, Shelley and Dave made us feel so comfortable in our surroundings and were very attentive to any of our needs. This was a relaxing and fun vacation full of many adventures. Shelley and Dave took us to many different beaches that each offered its own experience. We snorkeled, rode scooters on along side a beautiful beach front, Zip lined in the jungle, and drove thru Dolphin Bay where they put on quite a show for us right behind our boat!
