Caballito de Mar is a beautiful, updated property and we’ll worth the money. We loved sitting at the end of the dock or on the patio looking at the bay, watching the fish (we saw starfish, barracudas and a sting ray) in the water. It is quiet and away from the noise of town, but there are cheap cabs going along the main road behind the property. You can also rent bicycles to get around. The owner provided good information on activities and restaurants in the area.

The friendliness of the staff here (Sterling and Ludo - and even Ludo's girlfriend) was wonderful. They were helpful, checking in to wish us Merry Christmas and even Happy New Year after we had left Panama! The view was beyond magical - being able to sit on the porch during a rain downpour and drink morning coffee, or relax with a glass of wine, watching the sun set. You are also a very short bike ride into town, 15-20 min walk. You had the best of both worlds with the sunset at your desk and you could walk 1 minute to the bay across the road and watch the sunrise. Bocas had so much to offer in general, but it was hard to want to leave home with the comfort and beauty we experienced. Our stay at Vista Mar made us not want to leave to go to Costa Rica and finish our trip. In fact, we couldnt stop talking about it for the rest of the trip and will definitely be back. The property has everything you need - even provided essentials (coffee, shampoo, cleaning supplies, olive oil, etc). I'm so happy we were able to stay here because it made our trip better overall :). THANK YOU STERLING AND LUDO!!!!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was nice to be on the water. Unit was well stocked and comfortable. Bed is a bit hard...could use a memory foam topper...that would make it more comfortable. Our only disappointment was not being able to swim right off the dock. Thats something we had been looking forward to. We enjoyed the long walk to town...did it all times of the day and early evening, felt safe and enjoyed the exercise. Met some great people during our stay, overall enjoyed Bocas. Favorite part was a day trip over to Corenaro Isle...hiked the entire island, was awesome.

We came for a short stay and never left. Amazing property with stunning view. Close to town but far away enough out to realize that you have found a very special place. Sterling (the owner) is a true Prince and one of the nicest people that you will meet on the Island. Always there with a friendly smile, a helping hand, or information to make your visit truly spectacular. The facility has a beautiful dock and a covered area at the end for your enjoyment. A cool drink, friends and family and a stunning sunset were my choice while there for the end to a fun filled day. You WILL NOT be disappointed with this selection. Send Sterling a note and check on availability. There is even space available to tie up your boat.
