Casa Clearwater... Your Caribbean Dream

Located in the tropical archipelago of Bocas Del Toro, Casa Clearwater calmly sits in the serene, crystal clear, blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Built in 2014, the 4500 sq. foot tropical/modern design lies over a pristine reef on a private 9 acre property.......a unique & special place to spend a relaxing holiday.
The space
Casa Clearwater is an intimate eco friendly home completely self sustaining and off the grid with solar power and fresh, filtered catch rainwater.
In typical Caribbean style, the design opens on all sides allowing guests to enjoy the spectacular views & tropical breezes anywhere in the house. Spacious shady decks invite you to experience & enjoy the indoor/outdoor environment that is Casa Clearwater. The large dining table & "Burgundy Bar" serve as comfortable gathering spots for meals & relaxing conversations while others swim in the "Caribbean Pool".
2 stand-up paddle-boards provide access to the beautiful reef surrounding the house for snorkeling with the many friendly multicolored reef fish or diving for lobster.......or you may just want to wait & buy it from the local Indian fishermen who paddle by in their dugout canoes with fresh caught fish & lobster from the surrounding reefs.
After your day in & on the water, you can rinse off in one of two outdoor showers while watching the sun set behind the ten thousand foot high mountains on the Panamanian mainland which blow their cool mountain breezes thru the night. Daytime air and water temperatures average 85 degrees Fahrenheit with delightfully cool 70 degree evenings.
Guest access
2 Stand-up paddle boards, 2 kayaks are provided . It is recommended to bring your own snorkeling gear or it can be purchased in Bocas town for around $25 per set.

Hard to leave!
This property was fantastic! Cool breezes at night, with the sound of waves lapping gently beneath you. The swimming is amazing and the fish viewing is fantastic, it’s like living over your own private aquarium! Teo and Omar were Awesome and took us anywhere we wanted in a moments notice. Bocas town was a blast. Everything was perfect!

Short of perfection
The home is as pictured, well designed, in a spectacular location. Sadly however it comes up short for some peculiar management decisions that could/(should) be recitified. The house lacks for a cleaning cloth, no dish towels, an inadequate coffee maker, beach towels, all basic cooking supplies - cooking oil, basic spices, salt pepper, sugar,salt and pepper shakers, decent kayak paddles, colander, etc. The list could be made longer and they would not cost much to rectify. But it is not so and it is frustrating to arrive and discover a total absence of cooking supplies and after dinner discovering there isn’t even a dish towel to clean up with.

tips on how to make the most of your stay (from people who rented a boat)
When you arrive, soak in all of the beauty. Teo gives you a tutorial on the house, then before you unpack, jump in the water. I read about a “gourmet” grocery store; not necessary. Teo brought us to 2 of the big ones in the center of town. Between these 2 big stores they did had everything (including beer/liquor). We rented our own panga (a motorboat with covering) for 3 days. We actually should’ve rented it for the entire time. We could go anywhere we liked. We went to starfish beach, the Smithsonian, Bocas town, dolphin bay etc. On the days that Teo took us places, he arrived within 20 minutes of our request, and picked us up exactly when we asked. He was very good at communication. The kayaks and paddle boards are great, but the snorkeling gear has leaky masks. Bring your own. We kept the windows and doors open at all times. And it was really lovely. It’s hot otherwise. The only excursion we took with Teo was one to the bat cave because it was not something you can access without somebody who really knows the mangroves. Go. It’s great! Turn off the nights at night; look at the stars. The kitchen does not have a blender but has a lot of cookware. The electricity went out several times, (stormy season). We yelled for Angel who turned on the generator almost immediately. Sunsets are exquisite; golden light on water. Take a sunset kayak. Bring bugspay! Cute house geckos eat bugs! Swim under the house and get your photo taken through the floor!
