The Property
This is Caribbean Living.
Most people come to Bocas del Toro searching for a view. This home was built around one.
The original owner had the first choice of the lots in the development and chose this one for a reason: its western position overlooking Almirante Bay, where on clear days the Talamanca Mountains rise in the distance and almost every evening ends with the sun disappearing directly in front of you.
The house itself was designed for island living. It is built almost entirely from concrete—even the exterior boards that look like traditional wood siding are concrete. In the tropics, where sun, salt, rain and humidity can be relentless on a wooden home, that matters.
But inside, it feels warm and unmistakably Caribbean.
Beautiful Zapatero hardwood, soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of glass open the home toward the water. The entire ground floor seems to spill onto a long covered veranda, creating one big indoor-outdoor living space. When one of those dramatic Bocas rainstorms rolls across the bay, you don't have to run inside. You sit beneath the veranda, stay dry, listen to the rain and watch it move across the water.
Just below is the pool and thatched palapa—a place for long afternoons, dinners with friends and the kind of days where nobody seems to know what time it is.
And then there's the dock.
Your boat can be waiting right outside your house.
