    Three painted bungalows and an over-the-water boathouse on Isla Colón, with 180° of Caribbean sea and a ladder straight into it.

    Boathouse Bungalows by the Sea: three colorful bungalows in a tropical garden on the Bocas Town waterfront in Panama, sharing an over-the-water boathouse kitchen, sunset decks and a ladder into the sea. Book one, two or all three.

    Welcome aboard

    Your own little corner of the Caribbean

    Slip through the garden gate and Bocas Town goes quiet behind you. A stepping-stone path winds past hibiscus and banana palms to three bungalows painted purple, yellow and orange, and beyond them the boathouse stands on stilts over clear green water.

    Spend your days on the reefs, beaches and islands of the archipelago. Come home to a hammock, a cold drink and the sea moving beneath the floorboards. Downtown is a seven-minute stroll away whenever you want it.

    Our story

    Choose one, two or all three

    Each bungalow has its own color, its own bed and its own door. Book one for two, two for friends, or all three and the whole place is yours.

    Take the tour

    From the bungalows to the end of the deck

    Peek into the bungalows, wander the garden path, step through the boathouse and out onto the deck where the ladder drops into the sea.

    180° of ocean

    The upper deck saves the best for last

    Evenings here belong to the sky. Carry a drink up the stairs, settle in, and watch the bay turn gold, then pink, then violet.

    Shared spaces

    Life over the water

    Past the bungalows, the boathouse is the heart of the place: an airy kitchen, dining room and lounge built out over the sea, shared by all three bungalows.

    Straight into the sea

    Ladder down, hammock up

    The water starts where the deck ends. Climb down for a morning swim, float until you have had enough, then dry off in a hammock with the islands on the horizon.

    From your host

    A note from Michelle

    Welcome to Boathouse Bungalows by the Sea.

    We are small on purpose: three bungalows, one boathouse and a garden between them, right on the water and a short walk from town. There is no lobby and no front desk, just a gate, a path and the sea.

    We live nearby, and our manager is on hand day to day to help you settle in, point you to the best snorkeling of the week, or book you a boat out to Zapatilla. The rest, from the hammocks to the ladder off the deck to the sunsets from the upper deck, is yours to enjoy at your own pace.

    Come as you are. We can't wait to welcome you aboard.
