Enjoyed our stay at this Beautiful location!

Overall, we had a great stay. Great breeze off the ocean. Bombi was a great caretaker and arranged for anything we needed. Especially helpful arranging our trip back to Panama City. I slipped on the steps down to the deck the day before our departure and broke my leg. We had taxis waiting for us the whole way. Even got several of the island men to carry me down to dock to water taxi. Be aware that wood get very saturated when it rains and have moss on them so very slick! We would definitely go back to this friendly island and to shorebreak house.

Amazing house.

We really enjoyed our stay at your place! Bombi was amazing! He made us feel safe and secure. He knows everybody on the the island and what ever we needed he made it happen. He is a keeper for sure! Not sure you could find a better host! Thank you so much and we will definitely recommend your place to friends!

a quick stop in Bastimentos

Great amenities. There is a guitar, bass, and ukulele in the house. The kitchen is stocked pretty well... we cooked most of our meals. The house has a stand up paddle board that we took out every morning. Great location close to town but still secluded on beach. It is situated nicely facing the ocean with a steady breeze. We could've stayed for months and still not seen everything.

What a Beautiful House!

My boyfriend and I just spend two weeks on the Island of Bastimentos. For the second week we rented the Shore Break House! I am so so glad we did. The house is perfect! Sleeping at night hearing the waves crash, having access the beautiful views of the ocean and being a short boat ride away from Bocas was exactly what we wanted. Bomby was so wonderful and very helpful. He joined us a couple nights when we cooked dinner. The town of Bastimentos is a special places. I loved watching the island come alive as you walk down the side walks. I recommend this place to anyone who does not want to be right in the action of Bocas but close enough to experience it and then leave at night or anyone who loves to cook! We cooked out on their grill almost every night. They also have a wonderfully equipped kitchen. It was wonderful to buy super fresh seafood and cook it immediately. Great place and I hope to return!

Not good for family with kids!!

We Just got back from staying in this house for a week. Our first reaction was beautiful setting and it really is. I loved drinking coffee on the porch every morning and there is enough space to do yoga. There is only 1 small table and 2 chairs on the porch so if you have more then 2 people with you, you have to bring out chairs from the kitchen. The whole house is open floor plan with no doors except on the bathroom. Our friends have a toddler almost 2 and it was really rough. I would not stay here if you have children. The water is just a few steps away but there are rocks and urchins that sting when you step on them so very unsafe. The house was very dirty when got there. I had to wash all dishes before using them due to the dust all over them. Due to the humidity in the air the floor always feels dirty so we never took off our flip flops while in the house. The windows on the top did not open so in the evening once we went to sleep we were not able to have fresh air. They do have fans which helped keep us cool. The locals on the island love to party, we had 4 out of 7 sleepless nights due to loud music all night long. Just know you do not flush toilet paper in the toilet you have to throw it in the trash can. The water pump started to go out on the last 2 days so we were stranded half way through showers for 5 min until the pump kick on again. There was old food left in the fridge when we got there that I had to through out. If I was the owner I would have the cleaning lady come before visitors are staying and freshen everything up. The towels are very smelly due to the detergent and mustiness. It is a tropical island and I understand the humidity is very high and would be hard to dry clothes on the lines. Also due to humidity the couch was very moldy smelly. Just beware there are little biting gnats that make your stay very itchy. Our water taxi guy Karl was great and took us anywhere we wanted to go. I really recommend using him if you stay on the island. Oh the internet stick cost $5 for the week but never worked so I had to go to Bocas to use the internet which was a problem. Over all we will never go back. We are not picky people and have traveled to a lot of south and central America countries so we know about the tropics this house just isn't worth the money. Our friend tried to surf but there are so many rocks that it was unsafe. I love paddle boarding and was excited to board but due to so many rocks I just didn't want to try.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 28, 2023
This is our first group in which our staff requested to never allow a return visit. Our maid of two years quit our service after this group departed. The concept of "green" and "rain water dependent" was obviously a foreign concept to this group. They demanded all the beds linens be changed every single day and they soiled over a dozen towels each day. Maid service is provided only once a week with rentals and in between each guest. Our water tanks simply can not handle this extreme use. They also had our caretaker running toiletry errands for them by the china store. Yet, they never paid for their items or their extra maid/laundry services. Even the restaurants and local businesses' had stories to share regarding their disrespectful ways. Homeowners please be cautious in opening up your private home to people who surely require the staff of a hotel at their beckon call.

Awesome House For A Girls Trip Getaway!!!!!

Three of my best girlfriends and myself rented this house for a week. We had the best time ever, based on the reviews, we went to the 99 Supermarket in Panama City before we boarded our flight and bought tons of alcohol, food, and candles to bring to the house. We met Bombi once we arrived on the island and a man with a wheelbarrow took all of our luggage to the house for us. Once we ascended the stairs to the top deck of the house, the true fun began!!!! Crazy ocean views from every part of the house, Bob Marley playing on the stereo, the most comfortable beds we had since back home, a full kitchen with everything you needed!!!! The bathroom is awesome, a rock shower with dual shower heads and hot hot water all the time. The owners were available via phone and text to help me with anything I needed!!! The house is close to everything and we found ourselves making quick trips to the restaurants Caribbean View and Roots all the time!!!! Bombi was able to get us reservations at the Firefly for our last night and we had a great dinner. Everyone on the islands knows of the Shorebreak House and it is probably the best constructed house on the island!!!!!!!

Great Location!!

We travelled to the Island for our Honeymoon, This place was exceptional! The pictures really do not do this home or location justice. It is a real gem on the perfect location of the Island. (I will touch on this later) Upon arrival to the island we met Bombi, Bombi was great!! He led us on a quick walk to the location and gave us a great introduction to the home, ensured we knew where everything was located, how everything worked. Bombi really made us feel welcome and comfortable after a long few days of travelling. The home is very well kept and clean. You can tell the care and attention to detail this home has received in no doubtingly an environment that can be harsh and require significant upkeep. The home contained everything one could need to enjoy your stay. We found ourselves cooking regularly for ourselves and the kitchen was well equipped and clean. The bedroom was quite comfortable, the fans made even the most muggy and warm evening a non issue, the bathroom was very nicely decorated and clean. As this was our first time to the region we feel very fortunate to have found such a great locations. We were prepared for the bugs to be an issue, however the location of this home allows a breeze to limit the bug and provide relief from the heat, other area do not provide this. The glass doors were opened almost every evening while enjoying the cool breeze and sound of the waves. We both also loved the location and Island for its "traditional feel" Don't get me wrong "Bocas Town" need to be explored and is alot of fun, however we found it overwhelming some evening and really looked forward to getting back and just enjoying some relaxation on the deck. Another gem is the food. Just a small walk to the right is The Firefly. Hand down probably some of the best food I have experienced anywhere. Ryan and Lauren are a great team, we spent several evenings relaxing and chatting at The Firefly. On one of our last evening Lauren prepared a freshly caught red snapper and we are still raving about this meal. Truly a special place that need to be visited. We really enjoyed our stay on the island, Your place is perfectly located, and we feel very fortunate to have found this location. Too all future guest, enjoy this home, get to know the people (very interesting stories and unique people who have left the island and come home), explore the islands. We enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to returning.

Surfers Dream House

This is a fantastic place to stay. The house is spacious, beautiful and set on the most untouched islands in Bocas. Its kind of out-of-the-way but thats what makes it such a great place stay. It is just down the path from a fantastic restaurant. The house provides an incredible launching pad to all that the islands have to offer. 2 minutes from Caranero, 5 mins from Bocas by boat. The hammocks throughout the house are super relaxing, especially because the house funnels the Caribbean breezes to keep the place cool. The bathroom is fixed with modern amenities and the beds are all comfortable. This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. If there was one complaint it would be the lack of privacy. The rooms don't have a door to close except the bathroom. But the communally oriented will love this house; perfect for a group of friends. If you're lucky enough to stay there go for a paddleboard during the day but don't forget to stare at the stars from the deck at night!

The Island is amazing...the house is not worth the money

My girlfriend and I rented this house for four nights recently. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay on the island, but it was mostly in spite of the house. It’s on the water, so the views are outstanding, and with the big deck and the windows, it looks really impressive from the outside. There’s no furniture at all on the deck, so looking impressive is about all it’s got going for it. The comfort level doesn't really get much better on the inside. While the hammocks are cool, there is almost no comfortable furniture, leaving you feeling like you’re sitting around waiting for something rather than relaxing. The house has lots of space and plenty of beds, but is definitely not a three bedroom. The open floor plan (no doors), the number of beds and lack of decoration, makes if feel a little like an orphanage or an old school hospital ward. It’d be a weird place to stay with anyone but family. As far as the bathroom, the stone work and showers are really cool. One last weird and frustrating aspect: when we rented the place, the VRBO post said it had internet (wifi) and phone. It had neither. Unfortunately, I needed to do work when there, so access to wifi was a big component of choosing the place. When I raised the issue with the owner using the wifi at Bushman’s café (a great restaurant, btw), the owner told me it was my “misunderstanding” and gave me a list of businesses that had wifi on the island and, if I had an emergency and needed a phone, I could ask the caretaker to use his cell phone. Definitely not what the post on VRBO said...my girlfriend even looked again before I sent the message to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Then, after our initial exchange of frustrating messages, they sent me another message telling me “they looked at what the site states” and told me it was made clear that the house itself didn't have phone or internet, but that it was available on the island. I looked again and sure enough, they had subsequently changed their post to meet with reality. Come on, really? Who does that? It was just so pointlessly lame, I was left shaking my head. Ultimately, the owner agreed to refund our last night’s rent so we could move to someplace with internet. If we had it to do over again, we’d save $130 a night and stay 50 yards down the beach at The Firefly. You'll get the exact same view, better amenities and the owners are really cool. If you really need a house, look around, and you're sure to find something better.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 28, 2023
Renting a whole house to yourself verses a hotel room is not for everyone. But that is exactly what this site, VRBO, is geared for. We have built our families dream home here in our favorite location; and we did all from scratch! Including most of the furniture too! We are over the moon excited to share it with travelers looking for an adventurous vacation spot all to themselves. We have listened to the feed back from renters and are currently updating the house with more art on the walls, all new linens, internet access, an international phone, a personal safe, and most importantly a surf board rack! As far as "Changing the site" to fit our discussion. That is just a lie. Why would we do that? This renter sent me a text at midnight requesting internet and a phone. (Two options our house didn't have at the time.) By 10:30 that morning my neighbor granted them access to their internet and my caretaker had offered them his cell phone for the duration of their stay. I also gave this renter an option to purchase these items and I would reimburse them if they left them for future renters. We really do want everyone to have a great vacation! And go out of our way to meet the requests we receive. This renter declined our help and requested instead an early departure with a night refund, which we happily granted.

Great Potential to be AMAZING!

The house has a bold start with modern architectural elements that excite the eye, however we immediately felt a sense of unfinished, bare bones, less-than-bold execution with the interior of the house, ultimately leaving us a bit uncomfortable most the time. For what it costs per night, Internet and AC and/or Ceiling Fans ought to have been installed or included. The place would do well to include both of these in the future to make the stay more comfortable for guests. With that said, the open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling window-wall that opens to let in ocean breezes was a nice relief, although we were warned numerous times by locals that it would be unsafe to leave them open for an extended amount of time because of the rampant culture of theft that pervades the islands. While out and about my travel partner got robbed twice in one day, once at the beach and another on the street that actually turned violent. We never felt safe the entire stay. The water faucet in the kitchen was unscrewed as well. No hot water for showers. Lots of blank space on the walls screaming “Artwork please!” No fresh or new linens –- and smelly towels that had seen better days, years ago. Won’t be coming back anytime soon.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 28, 2023
Awe. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I am sure it is hard to have an enjoyable vacation after a theft. Thank you for the note on the water heater. This is the first we've heard of it and we replaced it same day. Hot showers are a must in our book too! As a side note to future renters, please inform either our caretaker, Bombi, or feel free to call us personally if anything is under par or wrong, so we can fix it. If we don't know, we can't respond. Our maid, Anna, cleans the house and washes all linens and towels in between each guest. If they need rewashing during your stay, JUST ASK! No worries. Life is simple on the islands. Ask, receive, and have a good time! :) From Panama dial: 00-1-540-336-4587 From US dial 540-336-4587. - Julianna

Beautiful house in stunning setting

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of renting this house in April. Every morning waking up to the view was by far the best part! We would literally sit on the deck for hours watching the palm trees sway and the waves crash. The house is unique in that is is pretty much an open floor plan. We also loved the design features such as the circular double doors, the glass front and the amazing stone shower! The house is furnished very well and everything is new. We also loved Bastimentos. The locals couldn't be friendlier and we loved playing with the kids on the path. Bastimentos has a true island feel and we loved the culture and being in the middle of it all. A plus for the property is that it is located on the ocean side, making it significantly cooler than in Old Bank, just around the corner. The breeze was a god send on those hot island days. There are also a ton of activities on Basti. We especially thought the Bat Caves was a different experience that was super fun! There are good restaurants near the property which we also enjoyed so we didn't trek into Bocas Town as much as we originally thought we would. Roots has local seafood, Bushman's Kitchen does a great pizza and the B&B next door, The Firefly had the best food on the island, probably even in Bocas! We frequented their bar stools for drinks several nights. All in all a great vacation and we would love to rent the house again with a few friends! Thanks so much for creating a gorgeous place!

Tropical Paradise

Our stay over Christmas/New Year's was incredible. The house was amazing! Regardless of how hot it seemed in town, cool ocean breezes constantly blew through this exquisitely designed home. Being right on the point of the island gave it not only gorgeous views for an evening on the patio, but also let us enjoy our cocktails in a breezy, bug-free space. The arched doorways an open rafters create beautiful space and the bathroom's enormous double shower is to die for! One evening we opened all of the front doors (the entire front side of the house is made of glass panes that can swing open) and hosted a dinner party. The chef was thrilled with the ample kitchen space, quality gas stove, and great ventilation system, while guests were able to enjoy food and cocktails around the kitchen peninsula as well as on the upper and lower decks. After dinner we waded in the water not more than 10 feet from the front door and star-gazed. Staying here was an amazing experience and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a week in paradise!!

Island get away

Sitting on the large deck with shore just 15' away is a joy. Snorkeling is just off the deck of this rental. Not just another wooden shack in the jungle, new appliances, concrete construction, nice beds and a breeze from the ocean. Surf beach nearby the house. Scuba dive shop a five minute water taxi ride from town. Zip lines at the other end of the Island. Friendly local people. Local church nearby. No roads on this end of the island just sidewalks. Local shops for food are a 10 minute walk from the property.

Perfect getaway

My lady and I stayed in March of 2013 for 3 nights. It was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. Close to everything you could want but far enough away to feel like it was our own tropical paradise. Myself, being a surfer, was amazed at the close proximity to all of the good surf breaks! Step out the front door and you're out there! The place was open and airy, blurring the lines of indoor/outdoor space. We would sit at the kitchen table for breakfast, look out over the ocean as well as the other nearby islands and take in all the beauty. Stunning! The bed was comfortable and the shower was simply amazing! The caretaker, Bombi, was awesome! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We're looking forward to coming back to Bastimentos soon!!

An Enchanting Trip to Paradise

Living carefree. If you want a vacation like that, then you need to be here! This is the most beautiful home on the island of Bastimentos. Gorgeous views with constant ocean breezes. This home was built with love and you can tell by all the special touches from the most amazing stone shower to the doors that ope fully to a view of the Caribbean. You will not want for food, with plenty of quaint restaurants that you can walk to or take a short boat taxi ride to. The famous Firefly is right next door. If you don't feel like eating out, don't worry, you have a fully stocked kitchen and its a short walk to the store. You will not be a stranger long on Bastimentos. The locals are very welcoming. There is so much to do, we couldn't get it all done in the 10 days we were there. Endless surf breaks, lush jungle hikes, snorkeling, fishing, unbelievable wildlife, amazing food! You don't want to miss out. We will return again, again, and again! This is where we will stay!

Never wanted to leave!!

Bastimentos, and Bocas Town alike are rich in culture and hospitality. Both those who call this home and those who come for retreat are courteous, friendly, inviting in a way that is somewhat lost on the mainlands. The owners of this property fit with that description and have created a retreat that fits within its community and environment perfectly. We awoke to crashing waves, took showers with rain water (warm showers onsite!!), opened the house to the sea air, and sat on the deck drinking our coffee and eating fresh coconuts left for us, each morning, by one of the locals. Our days were filled with Scuba Diving, Hiking, Surfing, excellent food, and some much needed R&R. Don't leave without making the trek to the Thai Place on top of the mountain.

About the host

Hosted by Ronnie Sirk Jr

Host profile image
I am a monumental sculptor and Roni is a structural engineer. The pair of us designed and built this custom home. It all started brainstorming with a pad of paper and some local colored pencils!

Why they chose this property

We stumbled onto Bocas Del Toro, backpacking through central America: puddle jumper style. But once we landed, we didn't leave. The islands are breathtaking. The people are healthy, fun and speak multiple languages fluently; including English, Spanish, Guari Guari, and Local tribal languages too. Bastimentos Island is calm, local, and there are no cars! It is paradise, plain and simple.

What makes this property unique

We designed and built this unique house. It is a family style open floor plan with handmade movable privacy screens throughout. The entire front of the home is a glass rotating wall overlooking the ocean. We even designed and built most of the furniture in the home from scratch! Here is a list of this homes amenities:
Full kitchen (Gas stove w/overhead vent+fridge+cooking ware).
Dual Shower Natural Stone Bathroom including a Rock formed sink.
Lots of sleeping spots+ (Two queens, One full futon, & Two singles via bunk beds) and 3 hanging hammocks to enjoy!
Kitchen, dinning and living room overlooking the ocean.
SUP Paddle Board available to cruise the islands. Plus we have two guest surf boards to go hit the breaks! Also, two kayaks to paddle around! Yes! We let you borrow our toys to enjoy the amazing ocean out front!!
Full Wrap around House Deck and a lower lounging deck.
Caretaker on site.
Additional Information:
This listing is a full house rental. Max of 6 people due to rain water limitations. Caretaker is on site to aid with all your needs during your stay. Property is 1/4 acre with 250 feet of oceanfront.
