    Loved our first trip to Panama and Bocas. Casa De K was a great place to stay. Did some cooking for breakfast and lunch but opted to go into town each evening to try the many restaurants. Bibi's was a short water taxi away but worth the trip. Other favorites were Gringos and Buena Vista Bar and Grill. There were so many great bars where we could try local beer and people watch. Everyone was very friendly. Taxi rides did add up but we had budgeted ($3.00 per person each way) for them. Paki Point, a small bar and outdoor restaurant one house over, was a big hit with our young adults. Free WiFi and good pizza and beer with a fabulous view. We walked over there every day to watch locals surf the waves. They also rent surf boards at Paki Point. We took taxis to starfish beach for a day. What a gem! Tranquil, warm waters with starfish everywhere. Snorkeled but didn't need too as the water was crystal clear and very shallow in most places. There was a guy making drinks using fresh fruit on the beach. Life doesn't get much better! Casa De K is a great house to relax and is very quiet. Is a ways from town but easily accessible. The deck is an awesome place to enjoy coffee in the morning or a drink at night and just listen to the many birds and the waves. The waves are right there. Several surfers took advantage of the waves and we only had to walk a short distance for quieter water to swim, snorkel and sunbathe. The house was well furnished and we had a lot of room for eight adults. Rainwater was plentiful for everything but drinking. Air conditioning and the many ceiling fans kept it cool. Grocery stores were plentiful in town. Casa De K was a great home away from home and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

    Cons: This is a beautiful beach house and has the potential to be amazing, however, it had too many quirks. I would rate it a 3.5, somewhere in between average and good. It had no lights in the family room which was very dark and we were not able to use it. Tyson was very nice and tried to resolve this problem and brought over a couple of lamps, but it just hardly put out any light. We were in spanish school and needed that light to study at night, so it was very inconvenient especially for paying for a house that we thought would be in full working order. The kitchen is not set up well to cook. The pots and pans are pretty lousy and the stove has the littlest flame, which would take us forever to cook dinner. We originally planned to cook most of the time, but ended up paying for the expensive taxi into town for dinner because it just took too long to cook on that stove. So that was disappointing. Pros: This house is on a lovely surf break, which my husband surfed everyday we were there. Tyson picked us up from the boat dock, was very friendly, showed us around a bit and took us out to the house. One morning we saw howler monkeys in the backyard and they were the only ones we saw on our 3 week trip, so that was very cool. My daughter was especially excited. It is a beautiful area and there is a new restaurant one house over right on the beach called paki point. It is open during the day for lunch. We enjoyed the convenience of that spot. This area outside of Bocas felt safe and was cleaner than Bocas town. It is right on the water and is really beautiful. I just would not plan to cook there. The cabs charge per person and generally charged 3 dollars a person, so for a family of four this cab ride quickly added up with the extra trip back into town for dinner at night that we had not planned for. All in all, it is pretty and a quiet area, one of the nicest on isla colon. We saw no mosquitos but many chitras. They really liked me and it didn't matter if a had on 30% deet, they still bit me. I would not stay here again, but I love Panama and Bocas we had an amazing trip.

    Owner response: Thank you for taking time to share your likes and dislikes about my home. Your feedback helps us make changes for future clients. I apologize the lights in the combo light and fan fixtures were not working during your stay. We continue to search for the bulbs which, apparently, are hard to find. They have not been located in Panama or Alaska yet. Furthermore, I am sorry, I did not realize the floor lamps we purchased were insufficient to provide light for studying. We will also check into the complaint about the propane stove. I apologize it was not working to your satisfaction. I have not had any other complaints, or issues during my stays. The only time I have experienced low heat output is when the propane needs refilled. Please, if you experience an issue like this, let the homeowner or property manager know so the issue can be resolved. Transportation to Bocas is a reality, as the house is located 3 miles outside of town. Taxis are an option. Renting bicycles or scooters are an option. I have had some clients that really enjoy walking or jogging one way, and taking a taxi home. I have had a water taxi drop me off in the cove near the house. I have even paddled the two person kayak to town for a late lunch, for variety. I am happy to hear the howler monkeys and summertime waves appeared for added joy and special memories. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, so we can work to improve the experience for future clients.

    Staying at Case de K is an incredibly unique experience! The view from the front deck is fantastic as the waves crash against the shore. There are abundant nearby beaches each with their own character. We saw exotic birds and monkeys in the backyard. The home is comfortable and well maintained. It is relaxing and a wonderful "home away from home"! I will highly recommend this property to all of my friends!

    I have stayed at Casa de K three times. We have cooked there a ton every time I have gone and there was never an issue. It is a fantastic kitchen with an excellent set up to cook every meal!

    Our stay here was wonderful. The home was clean, well-furnished and decorated, cozy, and spacious. We felt incredibly safe here as well, and the neighbors were all friendly. The location is amazing, literally right on the beach with beautiful views of the ocean. This area is close to town, but quiet and secluded feeling, just a short walk to stunning hidden beaches. The rooms have new, clean beds and bedding, the bathrooms were all newly remodeled and clean, and everything was well-maintained and roomy. We had every accomodation we needed to make ourselves at home immediately, including washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, cd player, bedding, towels, and furniture. The front porch was our favorite spot to hang out and eat breakfast, recover from a day of snorkeling with a beer, and watch the sun set. We can't wait to return to this wonderful island.

    I looked at places in Bocas online and nothing compared to this one! My plan for the trip was to surf and just relax and Casa de K was perfect for that! The surf right out front was top notch with other spots within walking distance or a really short cab ride or bike ride to other reef breaks like Dumpers. This place was so relaxing and the views are amazing. Also, Bocas is just a great place and easy to meet people to adventure with if desired. The trip was easy and effortless as far to getting to the rental. Seriously, if you are going to Bocas, stay at this house. Everything is so convenient like grocery stores...and you have the most amazing view. Great vacation! Thank you so much!

    This house and the surrounding areas are now permanently in my head as a "happy place" to retreat to mentally, and hopefully one day physically as well! I spent a week here with a close friend that is now permanently etched in my senses. Highlights: sitting on the front deck to gaze at the waves (they are right there!!); making smoothies from local fresh fruit in the well-equipped kitchen; wandering through town on foot or bike for yoga, good food, music; enjoying nearby beaches (starfish beach is a favorite!). Thank you so much for such a clean, well-maintained, comfortable and BEAUTIFUL place to stay!!

    No doubt this feels like a piece of paradise; and a "peace" of paradise. Whichever way you look at it, Casa de K is a gem. Whether you are interested in getting out and adventuring the Bocas del Toro area, or if you just want to kick back and relax on a slow paced tropical vacation, this is your place. We opted for a bit of both! We loved waking up to the sound of waves. While drinking our coffee on the front porch, it was so relaxing to slowly begin our day with the tranquil view of the ocean. We also found it quite convenient to walk to Bluff Beach, which is amazingly beautiful. La Coralina is close by as well, which offers wonderful food for lunch and dinner. During our stay we even got to see Howler monkeys, parrots, and toucans! I felt right at home at Casa de K. The house is beautiful, the location is superb, and the vistas are beyond words. Can't wait to return!
