La Casa Blanca, Waterfront Home

Description from the owner

La Casa Blanca is a beautiful waterfront home located just across the water from Bocas Town on Isla Solarte next to the Ngabe Bugle Indigenous Village. There are no roads, only trails and paths. Everything is accessed by boat or on foot. You are based on the edge of Bastimento National Park and the whole area teems with wildlife. You can sit on your own 12 feet wide full wrap-around veranda and watch local fishermen and tribesman in their cayuco, birds, dolphin, banana boats, sloth and much more pass right in front of you. It is great, just a little wild with stacks of comfort!

La Casa Blanca is an ecologically friendly home that... is "off grid" with its own water and solar power. With wooden slatted shutters everywhere good use is made of the cooling Caribbean breezes and these can be supplemented by floor fans eliminating the need for air conditioning. With your own private dock for lounging and bathing there is good reason to take it easy and enjoy the sun. There is a huge wrap around veranda shaded by the overhanging roof and this makes a wonderful spot to breakfast, lunch, take afternoon tea or just relax! Inside the galley, diner and lounge are laid out for your convenience with an iPod/MP3 dock, TV and DVD player as well as games, books and a small selection of DVDs. There are two queen size bedrooms with a bathroom between and a full length mezzanine with further sleeping of one queen size and two singles. Another bathroom is located downstairs and this is ideal for a freshen up after bathing, snorkeling, diving or surfing.

By water taxi, just over 5 minutes from Bocas Town with all its activities, bars, shops, restaurants, tours and much more. Probably 7 minutes in the cayuco belonging to La Casa Blanca's English speaking caretaker, Augustin who lives nearby. He will ferry you at very modest costs to places nearby which you may wish to visit and has a lot of local knowledge. Our agent Veronica will meet you from the Airport on arrival and will be on hand to assist with anything you need. She can also provide a cook for those special occasions or organise a boat tour for you.

Bocas is a fantastic place and La Casa Blanca gives you the luxury, exclusiveness and convenience to fully enjoy it.Read more

  Dream holiday spot!

  Left on 10/26/2010 for a stay in August 2010
  
  

  What a spot! The location was simply perfect - close to Bocas but thankfully far from the noise and bustle. The house itself was sensational - endless hours passed relaxing on the balcony... And we enjoyed many days on nearby beaches, swimming and snorkeling. The guardian who lives right next door was also super (and his wife helped in the house every day and made the most sensational coconut bread!)
  It was just the most relaxing week we have enjoyed in years and we felt very proud showing off this side of Panama to our international visitors. We'll be back.
