Hi I’m ziv my dad is benson the owner is you read this than you are looking for a place to stay  in bocas I can’t recommend this place enough my dog is always there so you get a free dog kinda you can’t take him home with you though there is a private beach and a dock with clear water and beautiful fish is is only a 10 minute walk for Main Street where you can find tropical birds and Om the best restaurant’s in bocas I hope you enjoy your stay if you do stay there

This place is the best

Was there already 2 times for 2 nights.
It’s a beautiful and clean hotel.
With a beautiful private beach and amazing service.
Staff will always try to accommodate you and help you. 
I was there already for 2 small 2 days vacations and will defiantly do it again and again.

One the nicest hotels I ever visited.

Our server was quite pleasant and very friendly.  Service and food was great.  Our server was rachel alter. Would recommend this restaurant. We loved the way the restaurant was decorated with local art work and the beautiful colors of the tablecloths

Family

My family and I have just spent the past week at the bocas beach house. It’s a lovely little house that is situated about 10 mins walk from the town centre. It has a 3 private rooms and shared kitchen. Outside there is an external decked area leading to a private dock - which is a real rarity in bocas.
The owner Benson is really cool and is happy to help you with any questions regarding your stay.

Great stay 

We have stayed in The Bocas Beach House for a week with 3 kids. I really doubt you can do better in Bocas. The house has a private pier and its private little beach. And anyone traveling with the kids from 2,5 to 13 years must know it’s priceless. You literally don’t have even to leave the house to keep your kids entertained. There is also plenty of fish and starfish in the water right there. The house itself is very spacious with plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms and is very well equipped. The location is great too. Close to town and remote enough at the same time. The hosts - Camila and Ben were extremely helpful with tips and contacts and also very responsive to any of our requests. On top of everything the price for the house beat anything more or less comparable in size, even without private beach! We’ve had a great time there and will certainly come back. Thank you Camila and Ben! 

 Best location and best hosts!

Where to begin? We had such a wonderful time at Bocas Beach House! A family of 7 spanning three generations, this was the BEST place to be. Grandma and grandpa relaxed on the well appointed porch while the kiddos played in the surf (small beach is extremely unique for rentals) and hand fished off the long dock. Did I mention the hammock? All mine!

The kitchen was amazing! Side by side stainless refrigerator/freezer, stove, toaster oven, and microwave, as well as a blender and toaster. Good assortment of pots, pans, cooking utensils, plates, and utensils. We enjoyed making breakfasts and piña coladas daily. A wonderful supermarket is just two short blocks away and offers all the necessities, as well as frozen local catch. 

The house is well appointed with a Caribbean flair. The largest bedroom had 3 double/queen beds including one in its own adorable nook- perfect for my 8 year old daughter to rest and play. In-room sink, shelves, and small clothes hanging area. Brother in law had his own room with two beds which opened to a sitting area on the street side. My in laws had the room upstairs with a great view of the water. Windows on each end of the room provided a nice breeze, but there is air-con if it gets warm. Also had great storage and a sink. 
Very walkable to town, yet you feel like a part of a quiet community. 

Finally and most importantly, Camila! What  a wonderful host!! She was gracious about making accommodations for us when asked. She was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. She walked with us to the market and gave us some pointers upon arrival, which really contributed to our comfort there. Camila is a bubbly, outgoing, fun person who truly makes you feel welcome!

I have stayed in Bocas Town twice in the past and this was far and away my best experience!! 


Perfect Spot with a Wonderful Host

This little beach house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a shared kitchen, living area, deck, a dock, and a little private beach. It's the perfect place for a big group of friends, or smaller, depending if you're ok to share the common areas. There's no AC in the rooms, but there's a lot of fans. If you stay in the room with 3 beds, the 3rd bed is on the other side of a partition and it gets incredibly hot at night if you don't position the fan right. The other downstairs bedroom with 2 beds was cooler. 

Camila is a great host, very attentive. Just a heads up that she's in and out of the house regularly, which was ok for us, but some people might prefer a bit more privacy. 

Taxi drivers or locals may try to talk you out of staying here, but don't listen. It's a 2 minute walk to the market/convenience store, a 3-4 minute walk to great restaurants, an awesome view, and the pangas/water taxis will come right to your dock if you need them to.

Great little beach house, if you're ok to share.

As an American coming from the US, we tend to have the opinion if something is highlighted in the description, it probably should work. Please read the whole review to get the true vibe of the place. 
It should be noted, some of the pictures online are old and do not reflect the current state, but the idyllic pictures of the outdoor space, private dock and hammocks are true to life. While Bocas Town is not much to look at, Bocas Beach House is a lovely, quiet getaway close to town and all the action. You may hear the term ‘typical Bocas house’, what this seems to mean is a house cobbled together and covered in brightly colored paint. 
The description shown on TripAdvisor seems to be out of date. There are 3 bedrooms, with sinks in each room, AC, and 2 full baths. Nice for a crowd. There was 1 TV in one bedroom (although we never turned it on) and wifi throughout the house.  We booked thinking we could spread out between 3 bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom never seemed to cool down (and the AC and fans sounded like a freight train) so all 5 people stayed in the 2 rooms downstairs. If we were in our 20’s or 30’s, we may have been more flexible. 
The sinks in the rooms (highlighted in pictures) kind of worked…one had a broken pipe that drained on the floor and the other had a very small stream of water, but since the pipe was completely severed from the sink, you couldn’t really use it anyway. 
It was great having 2 bathrooms and I feel one of the descriptions I read doesn’t really call this out. One bathroom has the backend of the refrigerator in it, but it does allow the kitchen to have a full size fridge. 
The kitchen has all you need to cook and make snacks. Rust, mold and ants in the tropics go hand-in-hand.
The outdoor sitting area was our main lounging area. Great breezes from the ocean, and a little table for playing games. There is also another larger deck in case you want to spread out. There were pictures of an outdoor area on the sand with ping pong tables. This area now is covered in junk or projects. It was hard to tell. A bit of an eyesore, but not bothersome from the deck. There is also an outdoor shower that is nice. 
We did love having our own private dock. We took a number of boat tours and they picked us up and dropped us off at home. 
Looking at the description and pictures on TripAdvisor, I feel they may have been done some time ago. A little TLC could restore this place to its previous glory. 
I would still recommend this place to anyone wanting to come to Bocas. I just think you need to make your decisions based on the actual conditions.
