About this property
Cozy Cabana Studio with great views over the Caribbean waters!
Cangrejo Studio is a cozy and comfortable new studio over the water in "Saigon Bay" on Isla Colón, the main island of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro.
With our unique position on the island's Isthmus, we enjoy pleasant sea breezes from both sides of the Caribbean and breathtaking views, especially during sunrise and sunset.
We are close to town ($0.60 for a taxi or a 5-minute bike ride). This makes it a perfect location: easy access to all downtown attractions, bars, and restaurants, and just enough out of town to enjoy the serenity.

About the host
Hosted by Sterling Hopman
My Name is Sterling. I moved here to Bocas Isla from Hawaii in 2003 and I am loving it here more and more every day. I chose Bocas not only for it's beauty and laid back culture but also because I love the ocean and water sports. I finished building Santuarios del Mar in 2008 and have rented the units both short and long term ever since!
Why they chose this property
The studio is built over the water and allows beautiful uncrowded views of the Caribbean sea to be enjoyed from the private deck on the back side (west side/sunset side) of the apartment.
Also there is a Private Pier even further out over the water for guests to relax in a hammock, sunbath in a longchair or get on kayaks/SUPs to play around in the calm & transparent waters surrounding the Pier.
Of course the apartment is fully equipped with fully furbished Kitchen, A/C, WiFi internet, Ceiling Fans, Hot Water.

What makes this property unique
Aside from it's unique location on the Isthmus, it being on the main island has lots of benefits. Most of the nightlife and the restaurants are located on the Island the studio is at and there are lots of things to do and places to explore right here with a bike or getting dropped further up the road by a taxi.
