Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. The Sun House, perfectly situated, steps from the beach but surrounded by lush jungle at beautiful Paunch Beach. The house has a lovely sea-breeze-catching veranda, comfortable lounge with big sofas and a smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with queen bed, air conditioning and en-suite bathroom and good WiFi. The bathroom has a hot water shower and washer and dryer. There are seven restaurants within walking distance of the house. The house is situated just off of beautiful Paunch beach and surrounded by lush gardens and jungle with tall trees that attract the monkeys and an amazing variety of birds. There are a few steps leading up to the covered veranda that has a comfortable sofa and coffee table. The veranda is the perfect spot to catch the sea breeze and enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the waves and the birds calling. Into the main house, you'll find an open-plan lounge and kitchen area. The sofas are big and comfortable with lots of throw cushions and a smart TV, cozy and relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, six plate stove and oven, crockery, cutlery, utensils, wine glasses; everything you need to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner if you wish. There is a table and benches for two. The bedroom has a queen bed with good quality 100% percale cotton sheets and a deliciously comfortable cotton pillow-top pad, thick pillows, and a cotton blanket for cool nights. The air conditioning unit is here in the bedroom and cools down the entire house due to the layout of the house. There are Turkish cotton beach towels for you to take to the beach with you. The bathroom has a hot water walk-in shower, good quality towels, and a washer and dryer. We provide hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and toilet paper plus reusable makeup remover pads. There is also laundry detergent. The house is situated on a private property with three other houses surrounded by jungle and gardens and accessed by a main property gate and is just a short walk down the private access driveway to reach the beach and the surf. You can hear the sound of the waves... There are seven good restaurants offering breakfast, lunch and dinner within walking distance of the house, and Bocas town, with many restaurants, supermarkets and other facilities is just a 10 minute taxi ride away. We provide the makings of your first breakfast which are either bagels and eggs or an oat and chia pudding that can be either vegetarian or vegan, and fruit, butter and milk and there are plentiful supplies of coffee, sugar and teas (a selection of black, green and herbal teas for the duration of your stay). We also provide oil, local hot sauce, and a selection of spices and herbs. Our beautiful Pool House, sleeping two people, is located right next door to The Sun House, so if you need more accommodation for your group, this is the perfect spot for you. The entire cottage is for your use. The cottage is situated on a private gated property with three other houses. Shared space is the property driveway and gardens surrounding the houses. I live on the property so will be close by if you need assistance during your stay, and you'll have my contact number. Paunch Beach is located on the main island of Bocas Del Toro, Isla Colon, and is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bocas Islands. It's also a very popular surf beach. Located between Big Creek and Bluff beaches, it's just a short (10 minute, $3) taxi ride from the airport and Bocas town, supermarkets and restaurants. Despite its proximity to town, it also has an abundance of wildlife, is incredibly peaceful and boasts some of the best surf spots in Bocas. Paunch also has seven great restaurants that are all within walking distance of The Sun House offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're a surfer, then Paunch is a fantastic location for your stay in Bocas. The Sun House is just a few minutes' walk from these amazing surf spots - Tiger Tail (2 minutes walk), Tuna (1 minutes walk - literally at the end of the driveway), Paunch Break (10 minutes walk) and Dumpers (15 minutes walk). Here at The Sun House you're also likely to be lucky enough to see monkeys, sloths and many types of birds including toucans and parrots right on the property. Although best known for its surf, Paunch is lovely in and of itself. Its shoreline affords wonderful views of Bastimentos and Isla Carenero and at some times of year or during low tide, you can explore the dozens of little sandy wading spots between the reef. These secluded spots can be perfect to spend time lounging in the water, many times with complete privacy. It may be one of the island’s best and most convenient places to spend the day and at one of the nearby beachside bars and restaurants. For those that are coming to surf, one of the popular aspects of this area is that the waves break both left and right, and tend to vary in size, making it perfect for a variety of skill levels. The left is popular for its large barrels when the swell is big. The waves at Tiger Tails are popular on the days with small but playful waves and are great for a casual surf session. The easiest way to get to Paunch and around the island is by taxi. We are happy to assist you with taxi bookings during your stay. You can also hire bicycles, electric bikes, quad bikes, motorcycles (one rental company is a few minutes walk from the house) golf carts and 4x4 cars for the duration of your stay. If you hire a vehicle you can park it securely right outside the house. There are dogs and cats that belong to us, on the property. They are all very friendly. Our dogs don't have access to The Sun House as they live with us and our part of the property is fenced. You might get a visit from one of our cats.
