Great experience!

We loved staying at Poli's place. The view was amazing! We used the two kayaks that are shared between the two houses. We brought our own snorkling equipment (lots of fish around the house). Before we got to the house, we stopped by Tutty N Fish Seafood market to pick up snapper and shrimp to cook - I brought Old Bay seasoning from home. We also stopped at Duo's Market for gallon jugs of water, and meats, cheese & crackers to make a charcuterie. We brought instant coffee and powdered coffee creamer from home. I had a soft cooler bag and some ice packs that we packed from the mainland to keep groceries cool until we could check in at 2:45pm. One day, we took advantage of the 11am transfer from the house to eat lunch in town. We took a water taxi from Casa Papaya restaurant in Bocas to Red Frog Beach. Then, later taxied to the Firefly restaurant on Isla Bastimentos and was able to get a water taxi back to the house. The windows were open all day and night to allow the breeze through. This was only an issue when the birds in the mangroves and trees were singing very loudly early in the morning (around 3am). Pack earplugs. Do not pack a hair dryer or curling iron - they require too much electricity to use at the house. If you have a battery powered fan, bring it. Bugs were not really an issue when the breeze is flowing through the house. If you love nature, then this is the place for you...plenty of fish, birds singing, beautiful sunsets, ocean breeze.

A boat ride away

The property was as advertised. The property owner was fantastic - ask and she delivers - transportation, drivers - assistance with other properties in Panama City. We three are in our 70s so many of the activities were not used - SCUBA diving. If you want rest, relaxation, beautiful sunrise, sunset, a swim in the cool ocean, this is the place.

What an amazing experience

My girlfriend and i stayed at this amazing house from November 16- November 20th. Our original day to return was November 19th. We loved the place so much that we decided to stay another night. Poli (host) was absolutely helpful with helping us get around the island. The house is very tranquil and we are looking to book the same house in the very near future. This is a place if you want total peace and quiet. We were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful water, kayaks, jet skis, and watch the beautiful fish and stingrays from inside of the house with the glass floor. We cooked most of the time and everything worked perfectly. We even had a local dog come hang out with us for a few days. We did not want to leave. The only drawback was that we got bitten by mosquitoes but overall an amazing experience. We did go during the Panama strike so some things were very expensive (cab ride from the Costa Rican border to Admirante where the boat takes you to Bocas). Also during the strike, most boats were not running as much in the evenings due to gas shortage so a one way boat ride (15 minutes to the house) was $70. So we got some groceries and stayed at the house for a couple of days. However Poli does have boat arrangements for free from 11AM-2PM so we did take advantage of that to go see other parts of the island. Great house and great host!! Thank you Poli :)

Amazing place

The water is so clear you can watch the fish swim around the deck and through the glass floor in the living space. We loved the place and would definitely consider coming back again.
