About the host
Hosted by Scott Burkhardt
We are experienced Airbnb Super Hosts with properties in Denver, Colorado and Bocas del Toro, Panama. When we are not staying in our properties we can most likely be found on our sail boat, exploring the oceans of the world with family and friends! Please join us in creating lasting memories with your own family and friends, we're available to you and would love to share the best of each location to help make this a memorable and adventure filled vacation or work stay!
Why they chose this property
Sitting on an ocean bluff in a very tranquil setting where you can relax, bird-watch, and wake to the calls of howler monkeys – you’ll catch a cooling breeze from the decks, and be comfortably away from the nuisances of mosquitos and chitras.
A large private compound comprised of three independent and fully autonomous structures including a main house with a private, independent master suite with a covered deck, plus two fully autonomous casitas, each with kitchenettes, full baths and private decks, offering the perfect space for groups of friends or family who would like some privacy but also a great communal space.
Inside the main house, Casa Botanics full wall of glass doors expose the view of the ocean, and a spacious, comfortable living space welcomes you to make yourself at home. The large chef inspired kitchen is ideal for entertaining – the central island seats 8! The interior finishes are custom-designed by an award-winning US-based interior designer and capture the playful attitude of this tropical country while embracing elegance and luxury in blues and neutrals – all to Airbnb Plus standards.
The expansive deck boasts views of the property’s palm garden and the ocean beyond - you’ll hear the soothing sounds of the ocean and the music of the jungle while enjoying outdoor dining or lazy day lounging. Below, stairs lead to a professionally designed garden of the former Botanic Gardens in Bocas del Toro. The deck is our preferred place to take in the rainforest wildlife ( toucans, parrots and howler monkeys), relax with a book, or entertain a group.
Surfers – you can check the swell from the deck! There’s also a BBQ on the deck for at-home grilling, or we can arrange a private chef for your stay or special occasion meals.
We have blazing fast internet, plus a desk space just in case you have to check with the office or if you’re on a working trip.
We offer SELF CHECK IN WITH KEYLESS ENTRY for your convenience and safety.
