Casa Sophia is an over-the-water house, located in a hurricane-free zone featuring two Queen bedrooms with private bathrooms. Light and airy, the rooms have ceiling fans and sliding glass doors out to Casa Sophia’s dock and private dock. The lodging is located in the heart of the town of Bastimentos, aka Old Bank. Water taxis can be hailed right from our dock for easy access to and from Bocas Town or Red Frog Beach. Because our home is over the water, it’s not appropriate for families with kids under 12, unless they are thoroughly water safe.
Staying over the water is beautiful, and the view is spectacular. Most of our guests will be enchanted by the sound of water surrounding them, but if you are a light sleeper you may want to consider bringing ear plugs. The locals like to play music, but it usually quiets down just in time for you to enjoy a good night’s sleep. It’s not unusual for people to jump off the dock and enjoy a refreshing swim close to our deck and dock although it’s important to always be aware of water taxi boat traffic..
Pet(s) live on our property: Jax a people-loving medium-sized dog, and a friendly but aloof cat.
